Let Go of Obsession, Focus on Becoming a God

"Cough, cough, cough! Little Jiang, how many times have I told you not to come visit me at the drop of a hat? A youngster your age should put family first! Have someone find you a few suitable female soul masters and try to start a family of your own as soon as possible."

Under the glow of the Healing Array, the old man's complexion had become increasingly rosy, and his back was no longer as hunched as before. Yet he kept going on about how Jiang Bai's future family was what truly mattered, while this old geezer was not important at all.

Knowing full well that the old man was telling the truth, Jiang Bai's eyes still reddened when he heard those words again. He quickly objected, "Of course I should come see you. But my main purpose today is to ask you to test this Soul Guidance Array and see just how much it boosts auxiliary soul masters."

Hearing that, the old man glanced at the two peerlessly beautiful girls behind Jiang Bai, then at the cold-faced Beast God who made his heart tremble. He repeatedly agreed and began carefully describing the life energy coursing through his body.

After Jiang Bai's repeated confirmation and the explanation of its creator, Lin Wan'er, this Soul Guidance Array known as the Healing Array was ultimately rated as a Level Three Soul Guidance Array!

This truly shocked Jiang Bai, a Seventh-Level Soul Guidance Device Master.

After all, within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, his talent already placed him among the more outstanding group of top students.

He knew very well that freshmen who had only just encountered Soul Tools could not even identify the materials within a single class, much less use engraving knives to inscribe runes or create a Level One Soul Tool.

Yet the two big shots of the soul beast race brought by Beast God Di Tian had not only easily completed a Soul Guidance Array that even graduating first-year freshmen could barely master, but had also exceeded expectations by making Level Two and Level Three Soul Guidance Arrays! This meant that Lin Wan'er could graduate early from the Outer Courtyard of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, break the record of the freshman genius class, and enter the Inner Courtyard by special exception to receive training from more advanced soul guidance device masters. It would not even be excessive for her to become a successor or a direct disciple.

If only the Healing Array could be improved further. Then, on future battlefields across the Sun Moon Continent, plant-type soul masters would only need to prepare the terrain in advance, and the other soul masters could charge ahead fearlessly, unafraid of pain or wounds.

After Jiang Bai voiced his thoughts, Lin Wan'er rewarded him with a glare. She said irritably, "When the time comes, the Healing Array won't distinguish between friend and foe. It'll heal anyone and everyone—wouldn't that be fun? Even if this thing becomes widespread, it can only be placed behind the battlefield to save more people. How could it possibly be as wonderful as you imagine?"

The birth of every new Soul Tool meant countless failures behind the scenes. Even though Lin Wan'er was a transmigrator with the God-level Martial Soul Soraka, and mental power comparable to Huo Gua with Tian Meng, she still could not create Soul Guidance Arrays however she pleased.

This Healing Array was, at most, seventy percent luck and thirty percent design.

Having been thoroughly rebuked by Lin Wan'er, who looked so young, Jiang Bai did not get angry. After all, geniuses were meant to be admired by ordinary people.

Besides, Lin Wan'er's status was noble. Even if he got angry, who could he show it to? Wouldn't he only be making trouble for himself?

After testing the Soul Guidance Array grades that Lin Wan'er and Gu Yuena had been eagerly awaiting, Jiang Bai sent the three of them to a specially arranged luxury hotel before returning to the Royal Academy for his shift.

He wanted to carefully study the healing Soul Guidance Array conceived by Lin Wan'er. If he could thoroughly research this thing, it would be enough to guarantee his admission into the Inner Courtyard, where he could enjoy wealth and glory. It would also give Beast God Di Tian and the other soul beasts greater influence in future battles.

Lin Wan'er had no objections to this at all. The reason she had created a Soul Guidance Array focused on healing was precisely so that, when the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Douluo Continent, there would not be too many newly developed offensive Soul Tools.

After all, as long as Jiang Bai and the other soul guidance device masters kept studying the Healing Soul Guidance Array she had spent so long devising, they would become increasingly engrossed in Soul Tools that helped soul masters stay alive—such as the Invincible Barrier of the Peerless Era, Soul Power-absorbing Milk Bottles, and so on.

It could be said that she had already laid a solid foundation for the Soul Tools the Sun Moon Empire would prioritize developing over the next century.

Because Gu Yuena had lost to Lin Wan'er on the road, when she arrived at the hotel and lay on the large bed humans used for sleeping, she kept rolling back and forth as if saying, I'm upset, hurry up and comfort me.

She was so tsundere that it was as though a tsundere had opened the door for her tsundere mother.

Already having an idea, Lin Wan'er pretended not to notice Gu Yuena's frustration. She leisurely took a hot bath, then changed into a blue set of pajamas printed with shark soul beasts.

Watching Lin Wan'er emerge from the bathroom with her face flushed pink from the steam, Gu Yuena immediately felt anger rise within her.

She did not understand what was wrong with herself. Ever since she had abandoned her noble true form, slightly altered her soul and consciousness, and appeared before everyone in human form, the entire dragon had been feeling off.

Lin Wan'er nonchalantly dried her beautiful long hair, walked to the bedside, and looked at the confused Gu Yuena. She softly said, "Sister Na'er, aren't you going to wash up? Humans are far better than soul beasts when it comes to enjoying themselves. Even the bathtub prepared by an ordinary luxury hotel has a heating function..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena grew even angrier, but she had nowhere to direct her anger at the Holy Maiden. As if resigning herself to fate, she put down her pillow and went to experience the baths that human soul masters enjoyed every day.

About half an hour later, Gu Yuena emerged from the bathroom rosy-cheeked. She looked even more adorable and captivating, like an exquisite figurine Lin Wan'er had collected in her previous life, without the slightest hint of the Silver Dragon King's imposing bearing.

Looking at the freshly washed Silver Dragon King, Lin Wan'er activated Martial Soul Possession and pounced on her, beginning to whisper into her ear.

The Silver Dragon King, who had never had her body touched before, immediately flushed even more. Unfortunately, Lin Wan'er, busy whispering, did not notice. Otherwise, her witch-like nature would have been exposed completely.

Lin Wan'er kept filling her head with things like how they were all family, so why should family compete over Soul Tool rankings, and how Gu Yuena was the noble Silver Dragon King, Lin Wan'er was the clever Holy Maiden, while Di Tian in the room across the hall was the capable one.

Wouldn't it be enough for each of them to do their own part? Constantly pulling a long face would cause wrinkles, and then no one would want her.

"You're the one no one will want!" Gu Yuena could not help retorting, then realized what she had said and added, "I am the Dragon King. I was born for the revival of the soul beast race. A companion is something optional, practically a burden! I don't want one."

"Yes, yes, yes. Lord Dragon King doesn't need a companion, doesn't think much of human soul masters, and definitely won't become companions with some little soul master surnamed Tang."

"What did you say?"

Gu Yuena twitched her ears and stared at the Holy Maiden, who was spouting nonsense, in astonishment.

How dare she make up such nonsense about the dignified Silver Dragon King finding a male human soul master as her companion in the future! And that companion even had the surname Tang! Seeing that Gu Yuena was about to fly into a rage, Lin Wan'er fell onto the bed and played dead. No matter how the purple-haired girl shoved her, she did not react at all.

The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, whose skin was not thick enough and whose skills were not strong enough, had never encountered someone like this. Helpless, she could only lie down beside Lin Wan'er and close her eyes to rest.

However, after Lin Wan'er's interruption, Gu Yuena's obsession with taking first place in everything had faded considerably. She no longer dwelled on the matter of Soul Tools.
