It's Mine! Mine!

"Dark Eagle Dragon."

"At nine years old, they could already use a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Aside from talent, they must have had quite a fortuitous opportunity. If they grew normally, they would definitely surpass ordinary people."

Tang Wulin looked at the two people he had defeated and sent off the field, both unconscious, his face filled with thought as he could not help but say this.

Nine years old.

Grand Soul Masters.

A Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

It was hard to imagine that all three of these traits had appeared in a pair of supporting characters at once. It was truly astonishing.

Especially since this was a Martial Soul Fusion Technique centered around the Bone Dragon King, a top-tier beast Martial Soul. Under normal circumstances, such a combination would not fear even a Soul Elder-level opponent.

"Unfortunately."

"You ran into me, the Golden Dragon King."

Tang Wulin shook his head, a relaxed smile on his face as he thought to himself.

With their strength, any other possessor of a top-tier Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent would have found such a Martial Soul Fusion Technique troublesome and certainly would not have dealt with it so easily. However...

Before the Golden Dragon King with a complete bloodline, even if he only made a slight move, their combination could be shattered with a casual strike.

"Still, since they're only Grand Soul Masters, taking that claw of mine probably won't feel too good."

Tang Wulin shook his head and could not help thinking to himself.

Not long after his Martial Soul had awakened, he had already been capable of delivering a hammer blow at the Hundred Refinement level. In terms of strength, although that claw strike had been very controlled, fractures were probably unavoidable.

All he could say was... he really had not done it on purpose.

"You beat Xie Xie, so I beat you up for him."

"Only fair."

Looking at Xie Xie, who had just been carried away in the distance, Tang Wulin thought helplessly. As his companion, Tang Wulin naturally did not want to see him in such a state.

Still, he truly had not expected Xie Xie to rush in right after their Martial Soul Fusion Technique had succeeded. What had been the point...

That idiot Xie Xie, why was he so dumb? Wasn't that just running straight into the line of fire?

"Still, with the Blue Silver Emperor..."

"As long as they aren't half-dead, a mere Grand Soul Master can be fully healed."

Tang Wulin shook his head. A flash of green light flickered in his right palm. As the strongest plant-type Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent, the Blue Silver Emperor's life power was anything but ordinary.

"Gu Yue, what's wrong?"

At that moment, Tang Wulin shifted his gaze toward the girl beside him and asked.

There was naturally a reason for his question. At that very moment, she was staring at him, her eyes filled with unusual brilliance.

"Nothing."

Gu Yue, who had spent the entire match slacking off, shook her head and immediately turned her gaze elsewhere, acting as though it had nothing to do with her.

Yet inwardly, waves had already risen in her heart—

Why is Wulin's bloodline so intense?

Gu Yue could not help but marvel inwardly.

Who exactly is he?

She had known from the moment she arrived that he possessed the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline. However, the situation before her had far exceeded her expectations.

She could clearly sense that although this Golden Dragon King energy was exceptionally weak, the concentration of its bloodline was outrageously abundant.

Even compared to the Golden Dragon King at the height of his power, it was not inferior in the slightest. Could he be the reborn Golden Dragon King? But he was clearly human...

How could this be so strange?

Gu Yue could not help feeling at a loss. He truly was a monster.

"I think..."

"It seems the result should be announced now, shouldn't it?"

At that moment, Tang Wulin looked toward the referees, his expression calm as he spoke.

"..."

"Class Five of Year One wins."

Seeing the scene before him, Long Hengxu, the dean of studies standing near the arena, remained stunned for a long while. Only after Tang Wulin reminded him did he come back to his senses and slowly announce the result.

Clearly, as a school administrator, he had been completely shocked by what had happened.

He was not the only one. Faced with the result of that morning's match, the entire venue was silent. Unexpectedly, no one made the slightest sound.

The reason was simple. In that short span of time, too many unbelievable things had happened:

First, that Soul Master from Class Five of Year One had broken through to become a Grand Soul Master and defeated Wei Xiaofeng from Class One.

For the so-called bottom-ranked class, producing a Grand Soul Master was already difficult enough. To actually defeat a stronger Grand Soul Master made it even stranger.

If that was still within the limits of what they could accept, what happened afterward left everyone completely dumbfounded.

Two genius Grand Soul Masters had actually used—a Martial Soul Fusion Technique!

At only nine years old, the two of them had already been able to perform Martial Soul Fusion. How much mutual understanding and compatibility did that require?

Yet what happened afterward was even more shocking, because such a powerful combination had actually been defeated.

One claw. Just one claw.

"A Martial Soul Fusion Technique, one centered around top-tier Martial Souls. No matter how you looked at it, it should have been extraordinary. Yet..."

"How was it scattered apart so casually by that student?!"

Everyone looked toward Tang Wulin. At that moment, they were as shocked as they could be. He actually possessed the strength to defeat a Martial Soul Fusion Technique so easily. It was simply unimaginably powerful.

Earlier, when the Grand Soul Master from Class Five named Xie Xie had been casually sent flying and knocked unconscious, it had already shown that the Martial Soul Fusion Technique was absolutely extraordinary.

At the Grand Soul Master level, it could practically be called invincible! With their strength and coordination, even Soul Elder-level experts should not have gained much of an advantage against them. Yet...

One claw. Just one casual claw.

The Martial Soul Fusion Technique, which possessed combat power comparable to a Soul Elder, was instantly shattered as easily as rotten wood. The two people who formed it had also immediately fallen unconscious.

"That student's strength..."

"Just what level has it reached?"

The crowd discussed among themselves, all looking at Tang Wulin as though he were a monster and sighing in amazement.

Even a Soul Elder would probably not have gained much from facing that Martial Soul Fusion Technique, yet he had broken straight through it. Could such strength be... that of an Advanced Soul Elder?

"Tang Wulin is awesome!"

"Tang Wulin, holy shit!"

"Tang Wulin, I want to have your babies..."

At that moment, the most excited people were undoubtedly the Class Five students, who had inexplicably become the top class of Year One. For a time, they gave Tang Wulin their most enthusiastic blessings.

Of course, not every Class Five student was so happy. For example, one unnamed Level 21 Agility Attack Department contestant was currently lying unconscious in great misery.

Forget offering blessings—he was not even awake. Clearly, taking that strike from the Martial Soul Fusion Technique had not felt very good.

"This match truly went beyond expectations."

"It seems I completely underestimated his strength before."

Wu Zhangkong stared intently at Tang Wulin's handsome figure on the stage, his face unable to hide his amazement as he spoke.

He naturally knew that Class One had three genius Grand Soul Masters.

But he had never expected them to possess a Martial Soul Fusion Technique as well. At their age, being able to use one was nearly unheard of even at Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent.

Of course, what unsettled him even more was that Tang Wulin had defeated that Martial Soul Fusion Technique—defeated it with complete ease!

He had originally thought that although Tang Wulin's Martial Soul was extremely strong, he should not have gained much of an advantage against a similarly top-tier beast Martial Soul like the Bone Dragon King. Yet... one move. Just one move!

"I remember Wulin previously said that his Martial Soul was only the Blue Silver Emperor and that he was a Support-type Soul Master... With this kind of strength, what are the other Support-type Soul Masters supposed to think?"

Wu Zhangkong found it rather amusing and could not help thinking so.

"Little brother Wulin, is this your Second Martial Soul?"

"It truly is extraordinary..."

In the stands, Ouyang Zixin sat quietly, her gaze fixed tightly on the figure atop the stage. Her face was filled with amazement as she could not help sighing.

"Yes."

"I never expected him to be this talented."

Beside her sat her close friend Mu Xi, the daughter of the Blacksmith Association president. She too could not help but sigh.

She remembered that his first Martial Soul was the Blue Silver Emperor. The attributes he had displayed now clearly had nothing to do with the Blue Silver Emperor, so there was no need to think further—it had to be his Second Martial Soul.

"Twin Martial Souls, and both of them are so powerful."

"Compared to that, your talent in blacksmithing actually... seems less important?"

Mu Xi could not help but sigh.

The true youngest Fourth-Level Blacksmith, unknown to the world, was already unbelievable enough. Who could have expected him to be equally terrifying in terms of Martial Souls...

She had thought he was strong, but she had never imagined he would be strong to such an extent. Even she, a Second-Level Blacksmith and Soul Elder-level expert, would probably not gain much of an advantage against him.

"Yes, little brother Wulin is very strong."

Ouyang Zixin agreed, her eyes glimmering. Although she was older than Tang Wulin, she looked completely like a fangirl at that moment.

"I agree... wait."

Mu Xi had just been about to nod when she suddenly froze, looking warily at the girl before her.

"He's my little brother Wulin!"

"Zixin, you can't call him that."

Mu Xi said very seriously.

She called him little brother because he had learned blacksmithing from her father and because she felt close to him. She had only called him that innocently.

But Zixin was completely different!

"What do you mean, your little brother Wulin?"

"He's our little brother Wulin."

Hearing Mu Xi's words, Ouyang Zixin shook her head without the slightest hesitation and replied seriously.

"Mine."

Mu Xi corrected her.

"Ours!"

Ouyang Zixin refused to back down.

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"..."

"Then how about ours?"

"I think that works!"

Gu Yue: ?
