"This time, I called you here for nothing else. It's just that our academy has a tradition."

"If our class defeats Class Four, we can become Class Four... and if we can defeat the first years, we'll get to enjoy the best teaching resources in the grade."

Wu Zhangkong looked at the two before him as he spoke.

"And my requirement for you is very simple: first take down First Grade Class One. Second Grade Class One wouldn't be impossible either."

"Of course, if you directly fight your way up to the third years, I won't say anything."

His expression remained calm as he spoke softly, as though he were discussing something utterly trivial.

"If it were just me, it would be a bit difficult. But since Brother Lin is here..."

"The second and third years are nothing worth mentioning!"

Xie Xie snorted softly, his heart filled with resolve.

His own strength was barely average, but Brother Lin was not!

As long as he followed him and held tightly onto his thigh, defeating other classes would merely be a matter of time.

"Easy peasy!"

For a moment, the corners of Xie Xie's mouth lifted as he thought to himself.

"Xie Xie, go back and adjust your condition first."

"Your specific lessons will begin tomorrow. I have something to discuss with Tang Wulin right now."

Wu Zhangkong looked at Xie Xie before him. Feeling that there was not much else to say for the moment, he spoke as though dismissing him.

He planned to ask Tang Wulin some relatively private questions. There was no use having this cheerful dual-dagger kid around, so he might as well send him out.

"Alright, Teacher."

Hearing that, Xie Xie immediately nodded in agreement. He did not think much of it and obediently walked out.

However, the moment he left the office, he froze.

"Why can't I listen?"

At that moment, Xie Xie was thoroughly indignant.

Teacher Wu Zhangkong was actually treating them differently, letting Brother Lin hear his information while refusing to let him hear Brother Lin's!

"Forget it."

"Brother Lin definitely can't be kept in the dark about my secrets either, so it's not a big deal. It's just a shame..."

"I won't get to hear some of Brother Lin's secrets."

Xie Xie said somewhat regretfully. Still, he believed that one day, he would surely get the chance to uncover the mysterious veil surrounding Tang Wulin.

Hehe, he definitely would!

"So this is..."

"Battle Armor?"

At that moment, Tang Wulin's heart was completely filled with excitement over the reward he had received from signing in earlier. He could not help muttering to himself.

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Evolutionary Battle Armor] [Evolutionary Battle Armor: grows stronger as the Host grows stronger. Its initial level is Two-Word.]

He truly had not expected Wu Zhangkong, the good teacher and trusted friend from the original story, to sign in such a reward for him.

Battle Armor!

With Battle Armor, one could become a Battle Armor Master, the strongest and most amplifying, yet rarest profession. They were divided into One-Word, Two-Word, Three-Word, and Four-Word Battle Armor Masters. The more words, the stronger they were.

Every Battle Armor Master received excellent treatment in the Soul Master world, and every one of them was extremely powerful. To put it simply...

A One-Word Battle Armor Master was equivalent to a Soul King. A Two-Word Battle Armor Master ranged from a Soul Sage to a Soul Douluo, while a Three-Word Battle Armor Master directly approached the level of a Titled Douluo.

As for a Four-Word Battle Armor Master, they were equivalent to Ultimate Douluo...

Of course, Battle Armor Masters were exceedingly rare. In this era, all those who possessed Four-Word Battle Armor were super experts above Rank 98.

In the original story, the first appearance of Battle Armor Masters, this profession derived from Soul Masters, had been Wu Zhangkong's Two-Word Battle Armor, Heaven Ice.

When that Battle Armor possessed him and made its powerful entrance, Wu Zhangkong's image became even more impressive, marking another one of his shining moments.

"Evolutionary Battle Armor starts at Two-Word Battle Armor. That's really great."

"As expected of Teacher Wu Zhangkong."

Tang Wulin could not help sighing. The protagonist of the original story had only become a Battle Armor Master much later, unlike him, who had become one at just nine years old.

No matter how he looked at it, he had made an absolute killing this time.

"If I ever use this Battle Armor, I wonder just how strong I'll become..."

Tang Wulin sensed a complete set of Battle Armor appearing in his mind. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he could not help thinking to himself.

He wondered when he would encounter some lackeys from the Holy Spirit Cult. When that time came, he could have a little fight.

"Tang Wulin, your Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul is..."

On the other side, Wu Zhangkong looked at Tang Wulin and spoke slowly.

Tang Wulin's suddenly appearing Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul had clearly left him with wave after wave of doubts. After all, since that person twenty thousand years ago, this was only the second time someone had possessed that Martial Soul.

"I'm not really sure either."

"My parents aren't Soul Masters, and I don't know what happened, but... it really is the Blue Silver Emperor."

Tang Wulin considered his words for a moment before answering vaguely.

He could not exactly tell him that the system had given him his Martial Soul, could he?

"Oh, that is quite strange."

Wu Zhangkong nodded in response.

"I'll get straight to the point."

"You have a Second Martial Soul too, don't you?"

He looked at Tang Wulin without beating around the bush, a smile on his face as he spoke directly.

"I can sense it."

"There's an aura on you that is completely different from the Blue Silver Emperor. It must be your Second Martial Soul, right?"

After thinking about it, he added another sentence. No matter how one looked at it, asking so suddenly would seem rather strange.

"Yes, I do have a Second Martial Soul."

"However, this Martial Soul is somewhat strange."

Tang Wulin did not intend to hide anything from Wu Zhangkong. With a light laugh, he answered as such.

Before this guide of the era of The Legend of the Dragon King, he had no need to conceal anything. If he had to hide things even from him, then perhaps there would be no one trustworthy in this era.

"Strange?"

"Why would you say that?"

Upon hearing those two words, Wu Zhangkong could not help growing curious as he asked in confusion.

He had heard many descriptions such as monster and freak, and had seen quite a few such people as well. But hearing a true genius describe himself as "strange" was indeed a first for him.

Still, he was a well-traveled and knowledgeable man. He quickly calmed himself and quietly watched Tang Wulin before him, clearly wanting to see just what kind of strange Martial Soul it was.

"No matter how strange it is..."

"How strange could it possibly be... huh?"

Wu Zhangkong's face was full of calmness. Just as he was about to say something, he froze the next moment upon seeing two golden Soul Rings emerge around Tang Wulin.

Gold...

Golden Soul Rings??????

For a moment, even this cold and aloof male god could not help widening his eyes slightly, thinking that his vision was playing tricks on him.
