Gu Yue: Have I Become a Stand-In?

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Silver Dragon King's Bloodline!]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Soul Skills:]

[Elemental Tide, Elemental Fusion]

"So this was the other half of the Dragon God—the Silver Dragon King's Bloodline..."

Tang Wulin activated his new Martial Soul and felt the changes in his body. He could not help muttering to himself.

Like the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline, the Silver Dragon King's Bloodline immediately appeared silently upon his body in the form of Dragon Clan battle armor. At the same time, an enormous phantom of the Dragon King manifested behind him.

Unlike the Golden Dragon King, whose aura was violent, domineering, and overwhelmingly powerful, the Silver Dragon King was filled only with splendor, even carrying a sacred aura. They were two utterly different forms.

No wonder they were the Dragon God's two extremes.

"The Golden Dragon King got all the dominance, while the Silver Dragon King got all the holiness and elegance. What a strange combination."

"But I like it."

Tang Wulin silently withdrew his Martial Soul, a smile appearing on his face as he thought this to himself.

As long as it benefited him, he would naturally take all of it.

The traits of the two Dragon Kings had both appeared on him at this very moment... That was absolutely fantastic!

It was worth mentioning that when the Silver Dragon King's Bloodline was activated, Tang Wulin's already exceptional temperament improved even further.

He, the Silver Dragon King, was enough to make the world fall for him.

"But these Soul Rings..."

"They're kind of ridiculous."

A moment later, as his gaze shifted slightly toward the rings appearing around him, Tang Wulin's expression became a little unnatural.

Instead of a configuration like two yellow or two gold rings, two multicolored Soul Rings had actually appeared.

Although Tang Wulin had already known about this before, seeing such a miraculous sight in person still left him slightly stunned.

"They're pretty kawaii."

"..."

"This is..."

Not far away, Gu Yue, who had been running around the field, suddenly stopped. She looked toward the boys' dormitory in the distance, and her expression instantly changed, her eyes filled with shock.

Just now, she seemed to have sensed an incomparably powerful aura. It shared the same origin as her own and was unmistakably the aura of one of the two Dragon Kings.

More importantly, it was actually the Silver Dragon King!

"The Silver Dragon King..."

"Where did this Silver Dragon King aura come from?!"

Gu Yue was instantly somewhat dazed, her face full of disbelief as she could not help saying.

Someone else had become the Silver Dragon King, so who was she?

"Someone else became me, so who have I become..."

"Have I become a stand-in?"

After pondering for a moment, Gu Yue could not help thinking this.

What the hell was going on?!

"Brother Lin, why does it feel like your temperament has improved so much after just one afternoon apart?"

After school that afternoon, Xie Xie, who had finished running with great difficulty, looked toward Tang Wulin and could not help asking.

If Tang Wulin's abilities had already made it hard for him to catch his breath before, then at this moment, that feeling had reached an entirely new level.

If he had to put it more precisely, perhaps it was... multiplied a hundredfold?

"I feel that way too."

Gu Yue beside him nodded as well, looking at Tang Wulin with an outwardly calm expression as she spoke slowly.

However, no matter how calm she looked on the surface, she could not help feeling extremely puzzled inside—

Could that mysterious aura she had sensed earlier have come from him? But why did someone with the Golden Dragon King's aura now also possess the aura of the Silver Dragon King?!

No matter which aspect she considered, this was an extremely serious matter to her.

"Hmm?"

"I suppose so. It was only a minor breakthrough."

Tang Wulin smiled faintly as he looked at the two of them and said so.

He had made just a tiny breakthrough. Wasn't it perfectly normal for his temperament to improve? With the Silver Dragon King's Bloodline, becoming more refined was inevitable.

"A minor breakthrough?"

Hearing that description, Xie Xie froze for a moment, then silently nodded, clearly believing him completely.

After all, Tang Wulin had no reason to lie to him. Besides, Tang Wulin was already freakishly gifted. Could he really become even more freakish?

He did not believe it!

"A minor breakthrough..."

Gu Yue, however, could only smile helplessly upon hearing those words. Looking at him, she did not know what to say for a moment.

If she had been an ordinary person, she would certainly have believed Tang Wulin's earnest explanation. However, as the Silver Dragon King, her senses were undoubtedly the strongest.

In the short time since she had met him, she had clearly felt that his spiritual abilities had improved by at least onefold—perhaps twofold, or even more.

And he called that a minor breakthrough? A tiny breakthrough?

"Are you sure it isn't a hundred-million-point breakthrough?"

Gu Yue could not help secretly thinking that, feeling like she had almost believed him.

Of course, she had only been off by a hundred million points in believing him, so that could barely count as putting what she had learned into practice.

"The way he talks is rather amusing."

Clearly, without even the Silver Dragon King herself noticing, the gears of their fates began turning in a normal yet abnormal manner.

Time passed in the blink of an eye. Twenty more days went by, and it was soon time for the academy's Class Promotion Tournament.

"I already told everyone about the Class Promotion Tournament before. As long as we defeat the other classes, we'll receive better resources."

"You all need to do your best."

On the vast field, Wu Zhangkong looked seriously at the three of them and said this.

Although the three already knew about the upcoming Class Promotion Tournament, he still had to say something about it, even if there was not much need.

After all, with their strength, defeating Class One would not be a problem at all.

He did not trust Gu Yue, nor did he trust Xie Xie. He simply trusted Tang Wulin.

"Gu Yue, your Martial Soul is the Elementalist."

"Your control over all kinds of elements, especially your ability to switch between them instantly, can undoubtedly become your greatest trump card. It can often render your opponents unable to move."

"As the Control Department member of the team, I believe you can fully bring your abilities into play."

"Xie Xie, you've improved rapidly during this period."

"With your strength, once Gu Yue controls the enemy, whether you can take them down immediately will depend on whether you're fast enough."

Wu Zhangkong looked at the three of them. His face remained as cold as ever, but there was a trace of warmth in his gaze as he said this.

"I'll definitely be fast."

"I'm the fastest person there is."

Upon hearing that, Xie Xie thought confidently.

But why did he feel that something about what he had said was off?

PS: Thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes. A Bai thanks everyone here. Thank you, thank you!

Unfortunately, military training has left me with no time to write more lately. It's really frustrating!
