"But..."
"The same age as the young master."
"Nine years old, a thirteenth-rank Soul Master?"
Meanwhile, as if she had suddenly thought of something, Bibi Dong spoke after a silence, hesitation showing on her face.
"I never expected the Sea God's son to have such potential. At nine, he had only just broken through to become a one-ring Soul Master. Whether he inherited any character was unknown, but he did not even inherit his innate potential?"
She could not help clicking her tongue in amazement.
The son of a mighty God King had only barely become a Soul Master at nine?
Without exaggeration, she would have believed it even if someone said he was the descendant of that eunuch Yu Xiaogang.
"Isn't that so? But they say thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Perhaps this was the God King's trial for him."
Qian Renxue shook her head. She did not care much about Tang Wulin's talent or abilities, nor would she think more or less of him because of them. There was no point in that.
She knew only one thing—every member of the Tang Family had to be eliminated. Tang San's son in particular was undoubtedly a source of endless trouble.
No one would fear Blue Silver Entanglement, and the child of a god could even be someone worth befriending. But if he was one of the duplicitous Tang Family, then forget it.
"..."
When Jiang Yan and Gu Yuena returned home, they found that four figures had already gathered in the living room.
They were none other than the other four members of the "East Sea Five Great Geniuses," alongside Jiang Yan: the Twin Dragons Xie Xie, Bone Dragon King Jin Xi, Demon Eagle Zhang Yangzi, and Snake King Wei Xiaofeng.
"Boss, Sister Na'er, you're back."
Seeing Jiang Yan and Gu Yuena, Xie Xie and the others immediately stood up and greeted them with smiles.
They had originally come to get their school uniforms with their boss, but who would have thought he had already gone?
They had just finished chatting with Grandpa Jiang and were preparing to head back when they ran into them again by such coincidence. As expected, they were fated bonds!
"Oh, right, Boss!"
"Grandpa Luo Chuan said Sister Na'er awakened her Martial Soul? She... really awakened one?"
Immediately afterward, Xie Xie seemed to recall something and was the first to speak. The surprise on his face was impossible to conceal as he looked at Jiang Yan and Na'er.
"Yeah, yeah, Sister Na'er..."
"Has already awakened her Martial Soul?"
Wei Xiaofeng hurriedly nodded, still looking expectant. Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi were much the same.
Everyone knew that awakening a Martial Soul at six was the rule of Douluo Continent, an iron law on the path of a Soul Master. Who could have imagined...
Someone awakening a Martial Soul only at nine? And if it had taken three extra years to awaken, just how powerful would that Martial Soul be?
"Mm. Na'er's bloodline is special. Her family found her some time ago and awakened her Martial Soul for her..."
"It is called the Elemental Dragon King."
Jiang Yan spoke slowly with a smile.
"Elemental Dragon King!"
"Another Dragon King Martial Soul?"
Hearing this, the four froze once more. They knew only one person with a Dragon King Martial Soul—their boss!
And their boss alone had long since left them with an immense shadow over the sheer terror of the words "Dragon King."
The strength of a Dragon King was invincible!
"Sister Na'er, then you..."
"Can you also shatter a Soul King's defenses with one punch?"
Wei Xiaofeng asked tremblingly. The scene of his boss knocking down a Soul King with one punch was still vivid in his mind.
Just imagining such a graceful Sister Na'er also...
"Not really."
"My Elemental Dragon King is purely mage-type. I am not skilled in combat, nor do I like martial training."
Gu Yuena smiled faintly and shook her head.
She did not want to have any contact with other people. Her hands were only suited for holding, hugging, and pinching her brother.
Of course!
By pinching, she meant secretly pinching his cheeks while he meditated!
"..."
Jiang Yan glanced at Gu Yuena and smiled without saying anything.
Not skilled in combat?
When he had been learning blacksmithing at six, who had insisted on following him around and often played with a hammer?
Still, he did not want her to fight personally either.
Na'er was suited to being beautiful and enchanting.
As for beating people up and moving people...
Those things were better left to him.
"Not skilled in combat?"
"Looks like Sister Na'er's Elemental Dragon King really is a different branch from Boss's Holy Dragon King."
Among the group, Xie Xie nodded as if he understood.
So it was not warrior-oriented?
Then he was not envious anymore.
Compared to standing outside the crowd and quietly dealing damage, he still preferred close-quarters combat—provided he was not kicked away in one blow, such as when he was with his boss.
"A different branch, you could say that for now. But you cannot say the two Martial Souls have no connection."
"Both are Dragon Kings, yet their relationship is different. According to my family's records, my Martial Soul and my brother's Martial Soul have a very special relationship."
"Ahem, perhaps special is the more appropriate word."
At that moment, Gu Yuena thought for a while, then looked toward Jiang Yan at her side. Seeming to have thought of something, her face reddened slightly as she spoke slowly.
"Hm?"
"What is it?"
The four little ones were instantly drawn in.
Even Jiang Luochuan, standing among them, paid attention, his curiosity thoroughly piqued.
"It is nothing much."
"It is simply that in ancient times..."
"The Holy Dragon King and the Elemental Dragon King were not only both Dragon Kings, but also helped one another, supported and protected one another, and were never separated."
"And I think my brother and I..."
"Will be the same."
Gu Yuena smiled slightly. Although her expression remained calm, a trace of nervousness quietly flashed through her eyes as she looked at Jiang Yan, clearly concealing her own little thoughts.
"Hm?"
"We definitely will."
Jiang Yan paused, never expecting Na'er to go in circles just for this. Smiling, he rubbed her hair and chuckled.
Na'er, you really were...
Hiding something beneath the surface.
"I think so too."
"Otherwise, why would Sister Na'er have met Big Brother?"
"You are definitely fated to be wonderful siblings!"
Among the group, the clever Xie Xie was the first to catch on. His expression was serious as he declared this firmly.
He and Boss were fated brothers, so Sister Na'er and Boss were naturally fated siblings!
Before he could finish speaking, however, Wei Xiaofeng had already called him an idiot in his heart and elbowed him with a strange expression.
"Man!"
"Xiao Feng, why did you elbow me?"
"..."
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi did not think much of it. They merely looked at one another. The two of them were fated bonds too!
"So that was it."
"No wonder that Senior Gu was so insistent on leaving Na'er with our family. It was probably not only because something happened to her family, but also because their Martial Souls were naturally suited to being together?"
Beside the children, Jiang Luochuan fell into thought as he silently calculated. Still, that was good.
His family's child bride could grow and improve alongside Yan'er. In his eyes, that was an incredible blessing no treasure could replace.
A dragon little sister had fallen from the sky, and the authority of the child bride...
Was still stacking up!
"..."
"This Silver Dragon King and the young master really are—"
"Ah, forget it."
"Let us see what that Sea God's son is doing instead."
Within the Sea of Spirit, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had been watching the outside world, both fully aware of Gu Yuena's true feelings.
The two goddesses silently curled their lips and shifted their attention back to Eastsea Academy.
With the special [mark] they had placed—namely, [a thirteenth-rank Blue Silver Grass Soul Master]—they found Tang Wulin's location in an instant.
And, as luck would have it—
Tang Wulin really had run into trouble at that very moment.
"..."
