Silver Dragon Appears!

"Instructor, may I ask roughly how much strength you used?"

Jiang Yuan did not expose Scott's act. He merely asked out of curiosity.

How much strength had he used?

Scott fell silent and thought for a moment. After making an estimate, he answered honestly, "A little over ten percent. Less than twenty."

"Ten percent?"

Jiang Yuan was a little surprised. That commotion just now had only been ten percent of Scott's strength?

He silently thought it over. Aside from not using his self-body martial soul fusion skill, he had basically gone all out and used every method he had.

"Ten percent is already quite a lot."

"The strength of a Soul Sage lies in the Martial Soul Avatar. Even without using my Martial Soul Avatar, ten percent of my strength is enough to deal with every soul master below the Soul King level."

"To be honest, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I'd never believe there was a monster like you in this world."

"Strength, speed, defense—you're powerful in almost every aspect, with no blind spots."

"With the support of that spatial power, in battles at the same level, you're already in an invincible position."

Scott openly acknowledged Jiang Yuan's strength, and he could not help feeling envious of the other party's talent.

To possess such strength right after awakening—he had already begun to look forward to just what kind of brilliance Jiang Yuan would display in the future.

Jiang Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

Soul Elder, Soul King, Soul Sage, Titled Douluo—these were important dividing lines in the soul master system.

Tang Hao could slap Zhao Wuji around bare-handed, Zhao Wuji could slap Soul Kings around bare-handed, and a little over ten percent of a Soul Sage's strength was already quite considerable.

According to his calculations, the current him should already be able to slap Dai Mubai around bare-handed six years from now.

This was the charm of stats.

What was more, the Void Ancient Dragon was also a mechanics monster.

When absolute stats were combined with absolute mechanics, what appeared was an absolute monster like Jiang Yuan.

"Everyone, assemble!"

Scott's gaze swept toward all the students, who had long since gone numb with shock, and he shouted with an icy expression.

Everyone suddenly snapped back to their senses and slowly gathered together. Only, when they looked at Jiang Yuan, their gazes carried a measure of fear and doubt toward life itself.

The battle just now had scared them stupid.

Those with good mental states, such as Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the others, could barely recover, their expressions grave.

Some students with poorer mental fortitude had practically had their Dao hearts shattered and did not even dare to look at Jiang Yuan up ahead.

This was six years old? His martial soul had only just awakened?

When the awakening master awakened my martial soul, didn't he also say I was a genius? Why was Jiang Yuan's style completely different?

The ones hit the hardest were Yan and Qiangu Xingchen.

Their eyes were blank, and their hearts were filled with confusion.

At that moment, they suddenly felt that their previous arrogance had been utterly laughable.

Qiangu Xingchen lowered his head, nearly grinding his back teeth to pieces.

Yan, meanwhile, recalled the terror of Jiang Yuan nearly crippling him with that kick earlier.

Of course, while some felt inferior, there were also others who, after recovering, worshipped Jiang Yuan even more.

If Scott and the other instructors had not still been here, Jiang Yuan suspected they would have come over, dropped to their knees, and pledged themselves to him on the spot.

Scott felt a headache coming on at the sight. If it had been an ordinary genius, that would have been fine; people could still see hope of catching up.

But against Jiang Yuan, the gap was blindingly obvious. It was simply too crushing.

If it were him, his Dao heart would shatter too.

"All of you, raise your damn heads."

Scott forced himself to lecture them with a stern face.

"Who are you showing those gloomy faces to?"

"Do you think someone else's talent will become yours just because of that?"

"Think back to when your martial souls awakened. Think about the way your families and the people in your villages looked at you. Do you want to give up cultivating just like this? Give up on yourselves?"

"And earlier, your matches were an absolute mess."

"Some of you have been here for a year, two years, and some of you have even stayed here for six years. Is this all you've learned?"

"I'm very disappointed in you!"

"However, even if you're disappointed in yourselves, I'll still temper you into steel. Get ready to face the devil training that comes next!"

Having said all that, Scott finished his lecture and announced that today's lesson was over.

The crowd dispersed, gathering in twos and threes as they left with heavy hearts.

Jiang Yuan ignored the varied looks from the crowd and walked alone toward the training camp gates.

The people Qian Renxue had sent to pick him up had already arrived there.

"Stop staring, little sister. Jiang Yuan is strong, sure, but our martial soul fusion skill might not be weaker than him."

Xie Yue looked at Hu Liena beside him, who had been watching Jiang Yuan's retreating back the whole time. Worried she had taken the blow too hard, he could not help speaking up to comfort her.

"That's right, Nana!"

"Give me time. I won't even need you two to step in—I can defeat Jiang Yuan myself."

Yan also gritted his teeth and thumped his chest, promising in a firm tone.

It was just that his words held little confidence—not to Hu Liena, and not even to himself.

"Brother, I'm fine!"

Hu Liena turned back, looked at the worry in Xie Yue's eyes, and shook her head, then said thoughtfully.

"Jiang Yuan is indeed strong, but I'm a spiritual control-type soul master. Once my soul power level rises in the future, it's not like I won't be able to go head-to-head with him."

"I was just thinking that with Jiang Yuan's talent, he's definitely someone Spirit Hall is focusing on nurturing. Teacher might know something."

Jiang Yuan's strength did make people feel despair just by looking at it, but Hu Liena was not discouraged. The two of them were not on the same track.

In the future, relying on her lead in spiritual power, she was confident she would still have the strength to fight Jiang Yuan.

Besides, she was four years older than Jiang Yuan. In four years' time, it would be impossible for Jiang Yuan to catch up to her in the short term.

Seeing that Hu Liena had not been crushed by the setback, Xie Yue secretly let out a breath of relief.

"Maybe you can ask the Adjudication Elder for some information."

"Brother, you're right. I'll go back and ask Teacher right now."

Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and she ran off eagerly to look for Bibi Dong.

Doing the same as her was Qiangu Xingchen.

At the same time, on the way back, Jiang Yuan stared in astonishment at what had appeared in front of his carriage.

There was a petite silver-haired girl crouching by the roadside, helplessly curled in on herself.

When Jiang Yuan looked at her, she also raised her head at the same time and looked in Jiang Yuan's direction.

They were a pair of clear eyes like purple crystal. Even from some distance away, Jiang Yuan could still see his own reflection in them.

Their eyes met, and the little girl did not avoid his gaze. Her beautiful big eyes only carried a trace of surprise and suspicion.

The Silver Dragon King!

Jiang Yuan's heart lurched. He did not know the Silver Dragon King and had never seen her before, but the instant their eyes met, the answer quietly appeared in his heart.

Why would she appear here?

In this era, wasn't she supposed to be holed up in the Lake of Life recovering from her injuries?

His martial soul was the Void Ancient Dragon, not some jinxing crow's mouth.

And there definitely wasn't a Golden Dragon King sealed inside his body.

Could the Silver Dragon King have clairaudience or something, the kind that let her eavesdrop on his inner thoughts?

Endless questions surfaced in Jiang Yuan's mind. Even without evidence proving that the Silver Dragon King was waiting for him, his intuition told him that she had come for him.
