"Sorry to bother you, but could we get to know each other?"
The girl quickly ran up to Tang Wulin. Looking at Tang Wulin, who was several years younger than her, she spoke slowly.
"Hmm?"
"Hello, I'm Tang Wulin."
Tang Wulin was stunned by Ouyang Zixin's actions. He clearly had not expected her to suddenly do this.
He remembered that in the original story, the two had met because they ran together. Yet now... was he being hit on?
Still, getting acquainted would not affect him in any way, so he readily agreed and introduced himself.
"My name is Ouyang Zixin. I'm a fifth-year student at Donghai Academy."
Ouyang Zixin extended a hand and smiled at the boy before her.
"Hello, Senior Sister."
Tang Wulin chuckled, stepping forward to lightly shake her hand.
Yet the system's usual mechanical voice did not sound this time. Perhaps it was because... she did not have much of a role?
"So there really are rules to this sign-in system. Characters like Ouyang Zixin, who aren't very strong and have little presence in the original story, can't trigger it..."
Faced with this situation, he tentatively thought to himself.
"Hello, hello. May I ask something presumptuous? Is your Martial Soul one of the stronger plant-type ones?"
"Just now, my Martial Soul sensed a warm and comfortable aura from you. It should be the kind of high-level Martial Soul the teachers talked about, one that greatly attracts lower-grade Martial Souls."
Curiosity filled Ouyang Zixin's face as she looked at him and spoke slowly. Clearly, she had not come over because she had fallen in love with him at first sight.
"Is that so? I see..."
"But what is your Martial Soul?"
Hearing her question, Tang Wulin nodded silently, then asked in confusion.
The warm aura she had sensed was presumably because of his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. But was her Martial Soul plant-type as well?
The original story had never mentioned that... Well, aside from being Mu Xi's good friend, there seemed to be no introduction of this girl at all.
"My Martial Soul is..."
"Blue Silver Grass."
Ouyang Zixin did not hide it in the slightest.
The next moment, she slowly raised her right hand. Strands of blue grass glittering with silver light gradually emerged from it.
"This is... Blue Silver Grass?"
A look of surprise appeared on Tang Wulin's face. He rubbed his eyes lightly and said in astonishment.
"That's right, my Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."
"However, because I'm suspected to possess the Blue Silver King Bloodline, my Innate Soul Power was at Sixth Level. That's considered pretty good talent."
Ouyang Zixin clearly did not think much of it and spoke calmly.
What was wrong with having Blue Silver Grass as a Martial Soul? She had not eaten anyone else's rice. She could still become a powerful Soul Master or Mecha Master.
"..."
"No."
"Her Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass?"
Hearing Ouyang Zixin's words, Tang Wulin could no longer remain calm. Looking at the situation before him, he froze for a moment and asked in disbelief.
When he had read the original story in his previous life, he only knew that Donghai Academy had a senior student with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul whose strength seemed fairly good... He had never expected it to be Ouyang Zixin!
"So the Blue Silver Grass genius Senior Sister Liu Yuxin mentioned when she brought me here earlier was Senior Sister Ouyang right in front of me."
"I really didn't expect this..."
With a thoughtful look on his face, Tang Wulin sorted through it all and could not help thinking this to himself.
To be honest, receiving this news was rather shocking.
Still, he could not be entirely blamed for that...
It could only be said that the original story had described this senior sister far too little. When he saw the previous owner of this body confessing to her, it had left people completely confused.
"No wonder he had such a good relationship with this senior sister in the original story. Besides her being Sister Mu Xi's good friend, it was probably because of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul."
"Now that it's put that way, it makes sense."
Tang Wulin thought silently.
"Junior Brother?"
"Hey, why are you spacing out?"
Beside him, Ouyang Zixin looked at the somewhat absent-minded Tang Wulin. Thinking something had happened to him, she immediately asked.
"No, no."
"I was just surprised that your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."
Tang Wulin shook his head silently and answered honestly.
"So that's what it was. Hahaha, it's nothing, really. After all, this Martial Soul is indeed somewhat weak..."
"Still, I'll work hard to become a very powerful Soul Master."
Ouyang Zixin did not care much about it. With a relaxed expression, she chuckled.
As a Soul Master with Innate Soul Power as high as Sixth Level, she was very satisfied with this talent.
After all, merely being born with Soul Power was already extremely rare for a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Innate Soul Power as high as Sixth Level could only be described as unheard of among Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls.
Just as her friends had said, such high Innate Soul Power should not have appeared in Blue Silver Grass. That was why they jokingly called her someone with the Blue Silver King Bloodline, and the name had spread through the academy.
"I believe you can definitely do it."
Tang Wulin nodded in agreement. From what he could sense, her strength had already reached a level close to that of a Soul Elder.
Although her talent was not especially outstanding, she had already broken through to become a Soul Elder. Tang San, who possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, had only been a Soul Elder at fourteen.
By that measure, she was far more impressive than Great Buddha Tang.
"Thank you."
"So what is your Martial Soul?"
Receiving Tang Wulin's encouragement, Ouyang Zixin immediately smiled. Then she stared at him and spoke slowly.
"My Martial Soul..."
"Is this."
With a faint smile on his face, Tang Wulin spoke as he slowly extended his right hand, just as she had done.
Yet the next moment, what appeared was Blue Silver Emperor—far thicker, stronger by an unknown number of times, and more magnificent than the Blue Silver Grass in her hand.
"Senior Sister, this is my Martial Soul."
"Blue Silver Emperor."
Tang Wulin said with a smile.
",...,"
"Th-This!"
Faced with this scene, it was Ouyang Zixin's turn to be dumbfounded. She stared blankly at the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, which shone with golden light, was several times thicker, and looked exceptionally beautiful. Her entire body froze.
Blue Silver Emperor!
In her lifetime, she had actually gotten to see Tang San's legendary first Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor?!
"Junior Brother, it's getting late. How about we go get something to eat..."
"Zixin, why are you here?"
Ouyang Zixin suppressed the excitement in her heart and was just about to say something when an ill-timed voice suddenly rang out.
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Mu Xi, the daughter of the Blacksmith Association's president, passing by this place.
"Xiaoxi?"
Ouyang Zixin clearly had not expected her to be here. Remembering that she was about to invite her junior brother to dinner, she could not help feeling a little embarrassed, and her face immediately reddened.
After all, she was only a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl. Especially since she did not know how old Tang Wulin was, she still felt shy.
"Huh?"
"Little Brother Wulin is here too?"
At that moment, Mu Xi noticed Tang Wulin beside her. With confusion on her face, she spoke slowly.
What was going on? It was one thing for Zixin to be here, but Wulin was here too!
"Why is her face so red..."
Noticing the sudden change in Ouyang Zixin's expression, Mu Xi froze. Then a bold thought surfaced in her mind, and she subconsciously swallowed.
"Um, Zixin, tell me honestly. You couldn't possibly have, while I wasn't looking..."
"Been trying to steal my little brother away, right?"
