Ten Thousand Year Spirit Treasure? Gu Yuena's First Soul Skill!

"Elemental Dragon King?"

"No wonder Yan'er was able to bring Na'er back back then. The martial souls of these two little ones really are closely connected."

Looking at the silver dragon phantom behind Gu Yuena, Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli exchanged smiles, unable to hide their excitement.

As fellow possessors of dragon martial souls,

they could tell at a glance whether one's bloodline was strong or weak.

The only one who seemed hesitant to speak was undoubtedly Jiang Yan, who was looking at Na'er beside him as though contemplating life.

"When did Na'er's martial soul become the Elemental Dragon King?"

He looked at her and silently transmitted his voice.

"Because..."

"Who told Brother's Dragon God to become the Holy Dragon King?"

Gu Yuena blinked playfully, her lips curling upward. The Holy Dragon King and the Elemental Dragon King were a pair—perfectly reasonable, right?

Of course, she meant as brother and sister.

"Na'er, then your Innate Soul Power is...?"

Anticipation filled Jiang Lingli's face as he looked at Na'er. Though phrased as a question, he already knew the answer.

"Uncle Li, naturally, it's Innate Full Soul Power."

Gu Yuena smiled faintly and replied.

"As expected..."

"With a martial soul capable of matching Yan'er's, Na'er must possess an equally powerful supreme Dragon King martial soul."

Jiang Lingli's lips curved into a smile. As he met his uncle's gaze, his eyes were filled with certainty about the brilliant future the two children would have!

His nephew Jiang Yan had the potential to become a god!

And Na'er, who had been raised like a child bride since childhood...

had the same potential to become a god!

But as he rejoiced, his gaze inadvertently swept toward Di Tian, and he quietly calmed himself.

"Brother Gu, how do you plan to nurture Na'er's talent? Will you be taking her back with you afterward?"

He could sense that the man before him was exceptionally powerful. Moreover, a family capable of producing a junior like Na'er was surely an ancient towering tree on the continent.

Yet he had truly never heard of the Gu Clan, this ancient family...

"As for the young lady's future arrangements, since you brought it up, I will have to trouble everyone for some assistance."

At those words, a gleam flashed through Di Tian's eyes. He had been waiting for exactly that.

"For the next two days after her martial soul awakening, I will protect my young lady as she absorbs her inherited soul spirit. After that... I would like to ask the two of you and Young Master Jiang to continue caring for her."

His expression turned solemn as he spoke earnestly.

"Hm?"

"You're not taking Na'er away?"

Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli were both greatly surprised. Their eyes lit up instinctively as they hurriedly asked.

"My family has suffered an unexpected change. If not for this reason, we would not have lost the young lady back then. In the coming years, there will only be more people watching the Gu Clan.

"Therefore, I wish to entrust the young lady to the two of you."

Di Tian shook his head and spoke slowly.

Take the Silver Dragon King away?

Not a chance!

If he entertained such a thought for even a second, it would be disloyalty to both his lord and the Silver Dragon King.

His lord had never intended for the Silver Dragon King to leave, and the Silver Dragon King had never wanted to leave his lord's side. What was that called?

Mutual affection, a two-way devotion, standing by each other through life and death!

How could he, as a guard, make trouble for himself by trying to separate them?

As the saying went, loyalty that was not absolute was absolute disloyalty. He, Di Tian, truly wanted to improve himself.

"..."

Meanwhile, the uncle and nephew standing before Di Tian were utterly stunned, unable to speak for a moment.

"Of course, if the two of you are unwilling, that is fine as well. We have already troubled you greatly over these years."

Seeing that the two seemed hesitant, Di Tian paused. Though helpless inside, he still composed himself.

He had tried, so he would have no regrets.

"No, we are willing."

Hearing this, Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli immediately came to their senses and answered resolutely.

"Over these three years, Na'er has long since become family to us. Both Yan'er and we are very fond of her."

"If your family has special circumstances..."

"Then the two of us are willing to shoulder this responsibility."

Jiang Luochuan smiled kindly and spoke frankly.

The uncle and nephew's current mood could hardly be described as merely wonderful.

They had thought the other party wanted to take Na'er away, only for him to instead voluntarily ask to leave her behind.

"Na'er, are you willing to do as Elder Gu says?"

"To continue living at home?"

At the same time, Jiang Lingli looked toward Gu Yuena and asked.

After all, the little girl's wishes were the most important.

"Uncle, Grandpa Jiang."

"Na'er is willing."

Gu Yuena smiled and nodded. Her gaze remained fixed on Jiang Yan as she answered directly.

Wherever Brother was, that was home.

She liked this place very much.

"Since that is the case,"

"we will accept this small favor."

Jiang Luochuan said with a faint smile.

"Then I thank you both."

"I came here in haste and did not have time to prepare any gifts. Please accept this humble token."

As Di Tian spoke, he waved his hand. A special jade box appeared in his hand, which he passed to the two men.

"This is...?"

Under their curious gazes, the jade box opened, revealing two entirely blood-red spirit fruits that gleamed brilliantly.

"Two Ten Thousand Year Blood Dragon Fruits."

"Since you are both possessors of dragon-type martial souls, please accept these spirit fruits."

Di Tian smiled as he introduced them.

"This..."

"This is far too precious. Sir, we cannot accept it."

Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli both widened their eyes.

Ten Thousand Year Blood Dragon Fruits!

What kind of concept was that? Soul beasts that surpassed ten thousand years had long developed intelligence. These were rare treasures that could practically become soul beasts themselves.

Soul bones were rare enough in this world, but the value of these heavenly treasures far surpassed ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones!

And there were two of them!

"This is my master's intention, so please do not be overly polite. These heavenly treasures are of little use to my family, but for the two of you, they are key to breaking through future bottlenecks."

Di Tian smiled and shook his head, speaking plainly.

"Since that is the case..."

"then we will no longer decline. Thank you, sir, and please convey our gratitude to your master as well."

Jiang Luochuan took a deep breath. One should not accept rewards without merit, but they had rendered some service, after all. Besides, treasures of this caliber might truly help him attempt a breakthrough to the Titled rank!

"Di Tian really knows how to handle things."

Jiang Yan watched the scene unfold. No wonder Di Tian was so skilled at dealing with people—his handling of favors and social ties was truly excellent.

A Di Tian this loyal

naturally deserved a future of his own.

"Young Lady, I have already brought the inherited soul spirit."

"Please prepare to absorb it."

Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena and spoke respectfully.

"Mm, then I'll trouble you, Uncle Gu."

Gu Yuena answered calmly. She gave Jiang Yan one final wink, then quickly sat cross-legged on the second floor.

"A soul spirit...?"

Jiang Yan focused his perception on the second floor. Sensing that she was indeed breaking through, he merely smiled without saying anything.

The breakthrough was real, but...

was it truly a soul spirit?

Why would the dignified Silver Dragon King need any soul spirit?

Still, he truly did not know what level Na'er's cultivation would reach after this breakthrough...

"A sixteenth-level Soul Master?"

"Huh?"

Not long afterward, when Gu Yuena reappeared before Jiang Yan and the others, Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli felt her aura and could not help but shudder.

How was this absorbing an inherited soul spirit?

This was...

a cultivation cheat device!

"Already level sixteen."

"Was this Gu Yue's starting level when she first appeared in the original story?"

Jiang Yan was not particularly surprised, but when he noticed the excitement in her eyes as she looked at him, he still smiled gently.

"Na'er is really amazing."

"Not really, I'm still far behind Brother!"

Gu Yuena giggled. She looked humble, but the instant she heard his praise, she had already let out a delighted little ehehe inside. Her mood was excellent.

"There is no need for the two of you to be so surprised."

"The young lady has not entirely neglected cultivation over the past three years. It is normal for her Soul Power to have increased."

Di Tian looked at the stunned Jiang Luochuan and the others, smiling as he shook his head. Little emotion could be heard in his tone.

"Elder Gu, your Gu Clan's inheritance..."

"is truly terrifying!"

Jiang Lingli silently sucked in a breath.

This Gu Clan...

was probably far more than just an ancient towering tree, wasn't it?

At that thought, his gaze swept toward Jiang Yan.

Yan'er, just how far can your eyes see?

"Na'er, what is your first soul skill?"

Ignoring the looks from the two elders, Jiang Yan kept his gaze on Gu Yuena and asked gently.

"Brother, my first soul skill is called Elemental Tide. During its duration, I gain the effects of all elements. It does not only affect me; I can also grant attributes to one other person."

"The elemental attributes my martial soul commands are ice, fire, wind, earth, light, darkness, and space. Every two elements can intertwine to form elemental fusion."

Gu Yuena explained with a smile.

Her first soul skill was Elemental Tide.

While the soul skill was active, it enhanced all elemental attributes and could share those enhancement effects with one person.

"What do you mean by enhancement to all elements?"

Jiang Yan paused, then continued asking.

"Fire increases critical damage, ice increases control, earth increases strength, wind increases penetration, light increases explosive power, darkness increases intimidation, and space..."

"lets my attacks instantly appear anywhere unexpected."

Gu Yuena spoke softly, her tone sweet.

Yet when Jiang Luochuan and Jiang Lingli heard those words, they both shuddered once more.

Another all-attribute enhancement soul skill!

Just like Yan'er's? With such absurd values, they might as well simply write in whatever numbers they wanted!
