"But..."
"The same age as Young Master."
"Nine years old, a thirteenth-rank Soul Master?"
At the same time, as if she had suddenly remembered something, Bibi Dong spoke in silence, her expression carrying a hint of hesitation.
"I never expected the Sea God's son to have such potential. At nine years old, he had only just broken through to become a one-ring Soul Master. Whether he inherited his father's character is unknown, but he did not even inherit his innate potential?"
She could not help clicking her tongue in amazement.
The dignified son of a 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 is 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 this make her think more or less highly of him. There was no meaning in that.
She knew only one thing—the Tang Family had to be eliminated. Tang San's son in particular was undoubtedly an endless future threat.
No one would fear Blue Silver Entanglement, and the son of a god might even be worth befriending. But if he was one of those duplicitous Tang Family members, then forget it.
"..."
When Jiang Yan and Gu Yuena returned home, they saw four figures already gathered in the living room.
They were none other than the other four people, alongside Jiang Yan, hailed as the "Five Great Geniuses of Eastsea"—the Twin Dragon Xie Xie, Bone Dragon Wang Jinxi, Demon Eagle Zhang Yangzi, and Snake King Wei Xiaofeng.
"Boss, Sister Na'er, you're back."
Upon seeing Jiang Yan and Gu Yuena, Xie Xie and the others immediately stood up and greeted them with smiles.
They had originally come to pick up 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 a coincidence. As expected, they truly were fated bonds!
"Oh, right, Boss!"
"Grandpa Luochuan 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 hide as he looked at Jiang Yan and Na'er before asking.
"Yeah, yeah, Sister Na'er..."
"Has already awakened her Martial Soul?"
Wei Xiaofeng hurriedly nodded, his anticipation still clear. Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi were the same.
After all, awakening a Martial Soul at six was the rule of Douluo Continent and an iron law of the Soul Master path. Who could have imagined...
That someone would only awaken a Martial Soul at nine? And after being delayed for three years, how powerful would that Martial Soul have to be?
"Yes. Na'er's bloodline is special. Her family came looking for her some time ago and helped her awaken her Martial Soul..."
"It's called the Elemental Dragon King."
Jiang Yan spoke slowly with a smile.
"The Elemental Dragon King!"
"Another Dragon King Martial Soul?"
Hearing this, the four of them froze again. They only knew of one Dragon King Martial Soul, and that was their boss!
And their boss alone had long since left them with a massive shadow regarding the terrifying words "Dragon King."
The power 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 spoke tremblingly. The sight of his boss knocking down a Soul King with a single punch was still vivid in his mind.
Just imagining the dazzling Sister Na'er also...
"Not really."
"My Elemental Dragon King is purely a mage type. I am not skilled in combat, nor do I enjoy practicing martial arts."
Gu Yuena smiled faintly and shook her head.
She did not want to have any contact with anyone else. Her hands were only suited for holding, hugging, and pinching Brother.
Of course!
By pinching, she meant secretly pinching his cheeks while he meditated!
"..."
Jiang Yan glanced at Gu Yuena and smiled without speaking.
Not skilled in combat?
When he had been learning forging at six, who had insisted on following him around and often played by swinging a hammer? He would not say!
Still, he did not want her to fight personally either.
Na'er was meant to be beautiful and captivating.
As for striking others, moving others...
That was better left to him.
"Not skilled in combat?"
"It seems Sister Na'er's Elemental Dragon King and Boss's Holy Dragon King really are different branches."
Among them, Xie Xie nodded in seeming realization.
So it was not a warrior-type path?
Then he was no longer envious.
Compared to standing outside the crowd and quietly dealing damage, he still preferred close-quarters combat—provided he was not kicked away with a single blow, such as when he was with Boss.
"Different branches, more or less. But that does not mean 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 Brother's Martial Soul share a very special relationship."
"Cough, cough. Perhaps unusual would be a more appropriate word."
At that moment, Gu Yuena thought for a moment and looked at Jiang Yan beside her. Seemingly recalling something, her face reddened slightly as she spoke slowly.
"Hm?"
"What kind of relationship?"
The four little ones were instantly drawn in.
Even Jiang Luochuan among them began paying attention, his heart filled with curiosity.
"It's nothing much."
"It is simply that in ancient times..."
"The Holy Dragon King and the Elemental Dragon King were not merely both Dragon Kings. They also helped one another, nurtured and protected one another, and would never part."
"And I think Brother and I..."
"Will be the same."
Gu Yuena smiled slightly. Though her expression remained calm, a trace of nervousness quietly flashed through her eyes when she looked at Jiang Yan, clearly concealing her own little thoughts.
"Hm?"
"Of course we will."
Jiang Yan paused. He had not expected Na'er to go in circles just to say that. Smiling, he rubbed her hair and chuckled.
Na'er, you really are...
Full of hidden schemes.
"I think so too."
"Otherwise, why would Sister Na'er have met Big Brother?"
"You two are definitely fated brother and sister!"
Among the group, the clever Xie Xie was the first to follow up. His expression was serious as he spoke with conviction.
He and Boss were fated brothers. Sister Na'er and Boss were naturally fated brother and sister too!
But before he could finish, Wei Xiaofeng beside him had already cursed him as an idiot in his heart and nudged him with a strange expression.
"Man!"
"Xiao Feng, why'd you elbow me?"
"..."
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi beside them did not think much of it. They merely exchanged a glance. The two of them were fated bonds too!
"So that's how it is."
"No wonder that Senior Gu was so insistent on leaving Na'er with our family. It seems it was 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 was deep in thought, silently calculating in his heart. But this was good too.
His family's child bride could improve together with Yan'er. In his eyes, that was an excellent thing nothing could ever replace.
A dragon little sister had fallen from the sky, and the authority of the child bride...
Was still stacking!
"..."
"This Silver Dragon King and Young Master really are—"
"Sigh, forget it, forget it."
"Let's see what the Sea God's son is doing instead."
Within the Sea of Spirit, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had been watching the outside world and both understood Gu Yuena's true feelings without needing words.
The two goddesses silently curled their lips and shifted their attention back to Eastsea Academy.
With their special [mark]—namely, [a thirteenth-rank Blue Silver Grass Soul Master]—they found Tang Wulin's location in an instant.
And by sheer coincidence—
Tang Wulin really had run into trouble at that moment.
