My Innate Full Soul Power Talent Was Actually the Worst?!

Around noon the next day.

Dugu Lin and Dugu Yan were brought to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well by Dugu Bo.

Then... they saw a white-haired youth, bleary-eyed and half-asleep, emerge from the thatched hut beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Clearly, the youth had only just woken up after sleeping until noon.

"Damn! Feng Xiaotian? Why is he here?" Dugu Lin cried out.

The moment Feng Xiaotian saw them, he immediately went on guard. Soul Power surged within him as he demanded, "Who are you? Where is this? Why am I here?"

A standard triple question.

"Uh..." Dugu Lin turned to look at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo laughed heartily. "Didn't Grandpa have trouble sleeping last night? So I went and caught him. He woke up halfway here, so Grandpa gave him a little poison and made him sleep until now."

"Caught... and poisoned... Nice!"

Dugu Lin gave his grandfather a thumbs-up at the sheer simplicity and brutality of his methods. His grandfather really did have a record for this sort of thing!

Dugu Lin could imagine what Feng Xiaotian's family must be like right now. Their sole genius heir had vanished without a trace—surely they had already descended into chaos.

Dugu Lin turned to Feng Xiaotian and explained, "Don't be nervous. We mean no harm. I'm Dugu Lin, and these two are my sister, Dugu Yan, and my grandfather, Dugu Bo."

The smile on Dugu Bo's face did not fade. Staring at Feng Xiaotian with narrowed, smiling eyes, he said, "Little one, you've heard of my name, haven't you? Would you like to become my disciple?"

"Huh? Me? You? What are you trying to do?"

Kids sure had a lot of questions. Still, Feng Xiaotian quickly grasped one thing: Title Douluo Dugu Bo wanted to take him as a disciple?

Buzz!

Before Feng Xiaotian could answer, a wave of Soul Power pressure swept over him, nearly forcing him to the ground.

Soon, his mutated Martial Soul, the Gale Two-Headed Wolf, appeared automatically behind him. Two yellow Soul Rings rose beneath his feet, revealing his Soul Power Level of twenty-four.

"Only level twenty-four?" Dugu Lin looked at Feng Xiaotian in surprise and asked, "How old are you this year? Grandpa, put away the Soul Power pressure first."

Dugu Bo was also dissatisfied with Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power Level. A genius with Innate Full Soul Power was already twelve years old, so how could he only be at level twenty-four? His grandson had reached level twenty-four at six!

Once the Soul Power pressure vanished, cold sweat streamed down Feng Xiaotian's forehead. He said warily, "Twelve."

Twelve years old and level twenty-four Soul Power—he was considered a genius.

But for someone with Innate Full Soul Power, level twenty-four at twelve was nowhere near enough! He was far inferior even to Ning Rongrong and did not even meet Shrek's admission requirements.

Dugu Lin looked at Dugu Yan and said, "Sister, release your Martial Soul and Soul Rings for him to see."

"Huh? Me? Is that okay?" Dugu Yan pointed at her own nose and turned toward Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo nodded. "Yan'er, let him see. Don't let him think that awakening a mutated Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power makes him the best in the world! Such talent has been completely wasted on him!"

"Okay~"

Dugu Yan smiled faintly and said, "Listen carefully. My name is Dugu Yan. I'm eight and a half years old. My Martial Soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, and my Soul Power is level thirty-two, Soul Elder!"

The next instant, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor condensed behind Dugu Yan. Three Soul Rings—yellow, purple, and purple—appeared beneath her feet.

"Hisss~"

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor approached Feng Xiaotian, flicking its tongue as if icy breath were spraying across his face.

"Gulp~" Feng Xiaotian swallowed nervously. His gaze moved away from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor before him and settled on Dugu Yan's delicate, beautiful face. The colors of her one yellow and two purple Soul Rings reflected upon her features. Coupled with the confident smile at her lips and her short purple hair stirred by the breeze... her smile was so radiant, and her beauty so breathtaking!

Feng Xiaotian stared in a daze. Dugu Yan's confident smile had imprinted itself deeply into his mind, impossible to forget!

Love at first sight!

Her talent, her background, her adorable smile, her peerless beauty—Feng Xiaotian would remember it for the rest of his life.

It was like a beam of light shining into Feng Xiaotian's heart!

A long, long time passed. Even after Dugu Yan withdrew her Martial Soul, Feng Xiaotian still had not snapped out of it.

"Hey? Hey? Dummy?" Dugu Yan waved her arm in front of Feng Xiaotian.

"Huh? Oh! Oh!" Feng Xiaotian came back to his senses, a youthful flush appearing on his face. Thinking of Dugu Yan's age and Soul Power Level, he could not help asking, "You... you're only eight this year? Your Soul Power has actually reached level thirty-two? And... and your second Soul Ring is purple!"

How was that possible?! Then what did his Innate Full Soul Power talent even count for?

Feng Xiaotian found it hard to believe, but the facts were right before his eyes! He had no choice but to believe them!

"Mhm~ Impressive, right?" Dugu Yan proudly lifted her chin.

"Im... impressive!" Feng Xiaotian was stunned again. He only felt that Dugu Yan's side profile, chin raised high, was absolutely unbeatable!

Ahem~

Ahem~

Two coughs sounded out, and Feng Xiaotian turned to look at Dugu Bo and Dugu Lin.

Dugu Bo asked, "Boy, are you willing to become my disciple?"

"Me?" Feng Xiaotian nervously licked his lips, as though he had been struck by a tremendous surprise. His heart brimmed with excitement! A Title Douluo wanted to accept him as a disciple—how could he possibly refuse such a wonderful opportunity?

Although someone in his family did instruct him, becoming Dugu Bo's disciple not only meant receiving personal guidance from a Title Douluo, but also gaining a powerful backer!

Feng Xiaotian quickly clasped his hands and bent at the waist in a ninety-degree bow. "This disciple, Feng Xiaotian, greets Master!"

On Douluo Continent, there was no custom of kowtowing when taking a master.

"Mm, very good! Rise!"

Dugu Bo was quite satisfied with this disciple. Although Feng Xiaotian had already gone down the wrong path, his grandson had said this disciple would not disappoint him in the future, so he certainly would not disappoint him.

Still, satisfaction was satisfaction. He needed to give the boy a warning.

Dugu Bo's tone suddenly changed as he said sternly, "Feng Xiaotian, now that you have become my disciple... if you fail to strive forward and let your Soul Power cultivation fall behind... then do not blame your master for being ruthless!"

Feng Xiaotian felt the oppressive force of a Title Douluo and immediately promised, "Yes! Master, this disciple will not disappoint you!"

"Very good! Then let us set a small goal. Five years from now, if your Soul Power has not reached level fifty, your master will break both your legs!"

"Wh... what?" Feng Xiaotian opened his mouth. What had he just heard?

Reach level fifty Soul Power in five years?

He was only level twenty-four now! He had to raise his Soul Power by twenty-six levels in five years? How could that possibly be done?

"What? Is that difficult?" Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes at Feng Xiaotian, his pressure fully unleashed.

"Gulp~ Master, raising my Soul Power by twenty-six levels in five years... th... that's impossible..." Feng Xiaotian was somewhat afraid of Dugu Bo, after all. Dugu Bo did not have a good reputation.

At the side, Dugu Lin asked, "Sister, are you confident that you can break through to Soul King by the time you're seventeen?"

"Of course I am!" After answering, Dugu Yan looked at Feng Xiaotian and asked, "Don't tell me you aren't confident? You can't even become a Soul King by seventeen?"

"I... I..." Feng Xiaotian opened his mouth. He desperately wanted to boast before Dugu Yan, but gaining twenty-six levels of Soul Power in five years was truly impossible!

"Enough." After giving Feng Xiaotian enough pressure, Dugu Bo stepped in at the right moment. "If your master says you can do it, then you can! Just cultivate step by step according to what your master tells you. Understand?"
