God Realm's Gaze

"Forget it, let's just take this kid with us. Once we're done hunting soul beasts, we can take him straight to Shrek Academy. This martial soul is definitely meant for Shrek Academy." Xuan Zi said excitedly from the side. "You can tell at a glance that it's orthodox! Oh, right, kid, what's your name?"

Tang Wulin scratched his head. "Tang Wulin."

"You're surnamed Tang too?!" Xuan Zi's eyes instantly lit up.

Hehe, judging by the look of it, he probably had nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect. If they recruited him into Shrek Academy, then perhaps the Clear Sky Hammer could become one of Shrek Academy's inherited martial souls in the future, just like the Evil Fire Phoenix.

Xuan Zi had always been the sort to act on whatever idea came to mind.

Tang Wulin was utterly speechless. If he had guessed correctly, weren't they about to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast? And they were bringing along dead weight like him?

"That's right, little brother. Come with us. Just stay by Elder Xuan's side. Later, Elder Xuan can help you hunt your first soul ring. What kind of soul beast do you want? A Mandala Snake, or a Human-Faced Demon Spider?" Zhang Lexuan said with a smile.

"Sister Lexuan, I don't want to use those soul beasts. I want to try a plant-type soul beast." Tang Wulin raised his head. "I want to give it a try. Besides, the first soul ring isn't that important."

Although he had no idea how exactly his soul rings were supposed to work, he definitely did not want to end up with some kind of mommy entanglement.

Wouldn't that soul skill be a complete waste of a soul ring, not to mention a wasted slot?

As for the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, it did not seem that important to him. It was mainly for using the Dragon Emperor Forbidden Art in the future. Besides, he also had the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

Xuan Zi thought for a moment, then agreed without another word.

After all, absorbing a plant soul beast would not be a bad thing for a Blue Silver Grass martial soul. It simply did not follow Sea God's path.

Yet Tang Wulin was somewhat timid. Would following this man really not lead to trouble?

Xuan Zi did not give him a chance to react. In an instant, he grabbed Tang Wulin by the shoulder and hauled him over to his side.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and suppressed his burning anger.

Then he followed the group slowly into the forest, feeling as though fate had seized him by the throat the entire way.

Wuwuwu!

One day, he would definitely pull it all back! This was too much!!!

Tang Wulin was carried along by Xuan Zi for some distance before they quickly reached their destination.

Xuan Zi and Tang Wulin sat far away from the group's campsite, gnawing on chicken legs. Xuan Zi even handed one to Tang Wulin.

"How is it, kid? Pretty tasty, right?" Xuan Zi took a bite, his mouth glistening with grease as he smiled at him.

Tang Wulin instinctively took a bite, and his eyes immediately lit up. "It's so good!"

No wonder that guy liked eating so much!

"Still, Senior, isn't it a little inappropriate for us to be here? Shouldn't we go keep watch? Those brothers and sisters don't look very old, and their strength should be..." Tang Wulin reminded him from the side.

"Ah, it's fine, it's fine. Do you know what Shrek means? It means surpassing everyone else at the same age." Xuan Zi said boldly.

Tang Wulin gnawed on his chicken leg, one hand holding his head as he leaned against the tree trunk beside him, his legs resting against a branch. He looked to the side.

All right, he could now be sure that his own position was safe. As for those senior brothers and sisters, that was another matter.

He remembered that this incident had seemed rather serious. Quite a few people appeared to have died during this mission, hadn't they? If he had guessed right, this was probably it?

After watching them finish their preparations, Xuan Zi took him to the outer region of the forest to hunt a hundred-year soul beast.

After searching for a long time, they finally found a Flower of Life that was over seven hundred years old.

Xuan Zi pressed Tang Wulin's body with soul power, and his eyes instantly lit up. "You can completely handle this one. Give it a try. I'll bring the flower over, and you can cut it down."

With that, he instantly extended a palm formed from soul power, scooped up the flower roots and all, then tossed it to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin caught it, took out a small knife, and stabbed it into the center of the flower's core. A yellow soul ring slowly rose into view.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, released his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and drew the soul ring toward himself.

Tang Wulin suddenly felt as though a tiny golden snake had appeared in his sea of consciousness, with a pair of little dragon horns on its head.

The soul ring quickly descended onto his martial soul. The golden snake flashed, then swiftly merged into the soul ring as well.

A faint consciousness transmitted a message to him. "My name is Golden Whisper, your soul spirit."

Tang Wulin froze on the spot, screaming inwardly: No way, bro. If the soul spirit got inherited too, won't it affect my soul skill?

Although he did not hold much hope for this Blue Silver Emperor martial soul of his, he still hoped it could change if possible.

After all, he did not want another mommy entanglement—no, if they counted it that way, it should be grandma entanglement!

Tang Wulin lowered his head, the little person in his heart letting out a loud sigh.

The soul ring was quickly absorbed, and his soul power rapidly broke through to level 13.

Tang Wulin stood up and unleashed his first soul skill. "First soul skill, Blue Silver Life Eulogy!"

Great!

The soul skill transformed into a green light and flowed into Xuan Zi's body.

The moment Xuan Zi received it, his eyes immediately lit up. "Good heavens, did your Blue Silver Grass mutate? This healing ability is incredible!"

Meanwhile, in the God Realm.

"Little Green, did you feel that? That was your Life Goddess's Eulogy. It should consume ten percent of your divine power. Why would someone in the lower realm have it?" Destruction God asked Life Goddess nervously. "Could it have any effect on you?"

"I felt it as well, but I did not sense any decline in my divine power. Still, that child's martial soul is quite good. He seems to carry your origin power too, though it is hidden very deeply." Life Goddess frowned slightly, standing stunned in place.

"No, why does this child also carry the aura of Sea God Tang San? Didn't he only have one child with Xiao Wu, Wu Tong?" Destruction God was completely bewildered.

"Oh? This child's soul skill is quite good. Little Zi, isn't this such a coincidence? This child has your origin power, as well as part of my own origin power. Why don't we treat him as our child? It would be perfect..." Life Goddess thought for a moment, then nodded and tapped Destruction God's arm.

After sensing the origin power belonging to him within the child's body, along with a portion of Life Goddess's divine power, Destruction God hesitated for a while before saying, "That works too. It'll save us from listening to that bastard Tang San brag about his daughter every day. Once he leaves this forest, we'll go find the child and ask whether he is willing to inherit our divine positions."

Destruction God's eyes rolled around as he wondered what he was plotting.
