There was a bang!

Lin Yuan's eyelid twitched. He saw Lan Xiao skillfully kick the iron door open, and thought to himself, Why does this scene feel so familiar?

At the same time, the staff member beside him clutched his chest, looking heartbroken.

"Director Lan, you kicked one broken last year, and this is the second one! Aren't you supposed to be an office worker?"

Lin Yuan: ...No wonder.

Lin Yuan entered the Awakening Center and saw two stalks of Blue Silver Grass, each more than a meter long, slowly drifting from Lan Xuanyu's hands.

Lan Xuanyu's little face was full of innocence. When he saw Lin Yuan, he ran over excitedly.

"Brother, is my martial soul really powerful?"

"Yeah, powerful. Of course it's powerful. Even more powerful than mine."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two stalks of Blue Silver Grass. He had just reached out when, all of a sudden, something strange happened.

Lan Xuanyu let out a scream.

"Ah!"

"Xuanyu!" Lan Xiao hurried over.

The moment those two stalks of Blue Silver Grass saw Lin Yuan, they actually dragged Lan Xuanyu and floated over at high speed.

They circled around Lin Yuan nonstop, while seven-colored light—blue, red, cyan, yellow, white, black, and silver—kept spreading through the air.

The entire awakening room was dyed into a rainbow world.

The instant Lan Xiao drew close, the two stalks of Blue Silver Grass unexpectedly erupted in a surging dragon roar in perfect unison, as if issuing a warning.

"What's going on?"

Lan Xiao instantly lost all his strength and collapsed to the floor.

Lan Xuanyu's face was deathly pale, his big eyes wide and pitiful.

"Brother, it hurts so much!"

"How could this happen?" Lin Yuan froze. In the original work, Lan Xuanyu's martial soul awakening hadn't caused this much trouble.

Lin Yuan held Lan Xuanyu by the shoulders and reached out to lightly touch the Blue Silver Grass, only to discover that the Blue Silver Grass became even more excited when touched by him.

The dragon roars grew increasingly intense, and the faint illusory figures of a gold and silver dragon even appeared, continuously circling him.

The Gold and Silver Dragon Kings... That was proof of the Dragon God!

Wasn't this supposed to appear only when the little Dragon God was emotionally stimulated?

But what kind of stimulation could he possibly get from me... Could it be my martial soul?

But back on Elf Star, those Soul Beasts hadn't shown anything special when they looked at me. Even if I gained the friendship of Soul Beasts, that was because I'd performed the Burial of Beasts...

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan said in a deep voice, "Xuanyu, steady your heart and open up your mind!"

"Got it, Brother."

Lan Xuanyu gritted his teeth and nodded. Blue veins kept bulging on his fair little face, making him look incredibly ferocious.

"Next, listen to me. Empty your mind, and in your spiritual world, imagine my figure."

Lan Xuanyu was already in so much pain that he was nearly unconscious. He could not reply and could only nod.

As for imagining Lin Yuan in his spiritual world, Lan Xuanyu was far too practiced at it. Every time Lin Yuan went to school, whenever he was bored, he would sketch Lin Yuan in his mind.

The next second, Lin Yuan entered meditation, and a pitch-black singularity rose from his hand.

Within the range of the singularity, the seven-colored halo actually rippled, as if even light could not break free from Gravity.

Lin Yuan smoothly entered Lan Xuanyu's spiritual sea.

No, Lan Xuanyu's spiritual world was still far from being a sea. At most, it could be called a small stream.

Ahead of him was an illusory figure identical to himself. Lin Yuan knew that this was the version of himself Lan Xuanyu had imagined.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan overlapped with the illusory Lin Yuan that Lan Xuanyu had conjured.

Very soon, Lin Yuan saw a golden dragon and a silver dragon suddenly leap out of the spiritual stream.

The moment the golden and silver dragons saw him, they both let out joyful dragon roars.

As the two dragons rushed toward him, they actually started fighting, as if each of them wanted to reach him one step ahead of the other.

"Are these the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King?"

Lin Yuan sensed the dense power of bloodline. He did not feel suppressed, but this chaotic, deadly duet made his head buzz.

This was basically noise pollution!

Lin Yuan's brows furrowed tightly. With a wave of his hand, Voice of the Stars suddenly began to operate.

In an instant, countless celestial bodies appeared simultaneously in Lan Xuanyu's spiritual world.

A bright star appeared. The moment the scorching halo from the star emerged, the golden and silver dragons let out unwilling dragon roars.

They were purified by the star's ultimate halo, then turned into two clearly divided rivers of gold and silver that slowly flowed on.

"How strange."

Lin Yuan was taken aback. He had originally thought this might be a bitter battle, but he had never expected it to be so easy. It was as if... the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King liked him?

That boiling sensation from the bloodline could not be fake.

But in any case, the little Dragon God was safe for now.

"However, this should only be temporary. If Lan Xuanyu breaks through again later, those two bloodlines will inevitably collide once more."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then immediately withdrew from the mental world.

Returning to reality, he saw the color returning to Lan Xuanyu's pale face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Lan Xuanyu looked at Lin Yuan in worship, hugging him as he bounced up and down.

In that situation just now, even Dad had been helpless, yet Brother had actually been able to help him stabilize!

Especially when he had seen Lin Yuan in the mental world, his restless, agitated heart had somehow settled down just like that, as if it had found something to rely on.

Was this what Dad called a genius?

"Little Lin, this is..."

Lan Xiao had just been about to press him with questions when Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Let's talk after we get home, Uncle Lan."

"Oh, right. Home."

Concern had thrown Lan Xiao into confusion. In his view, Lan Xuanyu had hatched from an egg, after all, so the lower profile they kept, the better.

Besides, judging by the power Lan Xuanyu had erupted with just now, there was a very real chance he also had innate full soul power!

Lan Xiao discussed it with the staff, and before long, he brought Lin Yuan and Lan Xuanyu back home.

When they took out the Soul Power Tester, there was no doubt about it: innate full soul power!

Another innate full soul power.

Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng both felt light-headed.

Especially Lan Xiao. Back at the Martial Soul Awakening Center, when he had heard Lin Yuan say Lan Xuanyu might have innate full soul power, he had thought it was just comfort. Who would have thought it would come true with a single remark!

At that thought, Lan Xiao could not help giving a bitter smile and shaking his head.

"Little Lin, that mouth of yours... Mm? Little Lin, what's wrong?"

Lan Xiao saw Lin Yuan looking at him with a solemn expression.

Lin Yuan even gave Lan Xiao a look, then blinked toward Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xiao understood instantly and coughed a few times.

"Xuanyu, you just awakened your martial soul. Let Mom teach you how to train. Dad has something to discuss with Little Lin."

"Mm-hmm." Lan Xuanyu nodded, holding Nan Cheng's hand as he waved, then said pitifully:

"Then Brother, you have to come play with me later, okay?"

"Yeah, go on, go on."

After Nan Cheng and Lan Xuanyu left, Lan Xiao asked with concern, "What's wrong, Little Lin? Is there a problem?"

"Uncle Lan, Xuanyu's problem is very serious."

"A problem? Didn't you resolve it just now?"

"That's right, but that was only temporary." Lin Yuan shook his head, murmuring as he analyzed:

"For ordinary Blue Silver Grass to possess innate full soul power, it is either the Blue Silver Emperor, or there is an extremely powerful bloodline within the body."

Lan Xiao's pupils abruptly constricted. Lin Yuan's conclusion was exactly the same as what he had thought in the laboratory earlier!

"Little Lin, you mean..."

"As far as I know, the Blue Silver Emperor is only a legend, so the greatest possibility is a bloodline issue. To be honest, just now I could sense two powerful bloodlines inside him. This can only mean two things: either an absolutely powerful figure appeared among the ancestors of you or Aunt Cheng, and both bloodlines atavistically manifested in Xuanyu at the same time, or Xuanyu was born from two extremely powerful Soul Beasts. Heh, of course, that is impossible."

Lin Yuan explained it unhurriedly.

The more Lan Xiao listened, the more shocked he became.

Especially later, when he heard that Lan Xuanyu might have been born from two Soul Beasts, his heart tightened for no reason.

Only when he heard the words "that is impossible" did he let out a long breath. Then he suddenly stood up, his eyes shining.

"Little Lin, you actually analyzed it so thoroughly!"

Analysis? No, I've read the original. This is just working backward from the result. As long as the result is right, any reasoning I use will make sense.

Lin Yuan roasted himself inwardly, but in reality, he shook his head.

"No, Uncle Lan. What I mean is that the ancestral bloodlines of you and Aunt Cheng are in conflict. As your child, Xuanyu was naturally affected by these two bloodlines from birth. If this isn't resolved, there may be major trouble when his soul power increases later. I sensed this through my martial soul."
