This Was Truly World-Shocking Wisdom

"Lord Black Dragon, this must be your daughter, correct?"

Leng Yaozhu's gaze fell on Gu Yuena, her tone carrying just the right amount of curiosity and scrutiny.

From the moment she had entered, the silver-haired little girl had sat quietly in the corner, cradling a teacup and taking small sips. She looked obedient and demure, yet her silver eyes held a depth and calmness that did not match her age, making Leng Yaozhu look at her twice.

"Yes—this is my daughter, Gu Yuena. She completed her Martial Soul awakening not long ago."

Di Tian lifted his teacup, his tone carrying the distinctive pride of a father.

"Her talent is the greatest our family has seen in ten thousand years. That is why we decided to enter the world—to nurture her properly and ensure that such a precious gem would not be buried in dust."

"I never expected your daughter's talent to be impressive enough to make even Lord Black Dragon marvel?"

Leng Yaozhu was somewhat startled. The man before her was a genuine Limit Douluo, a Demigod-level existence. For him to personally call someone the most talented in ten thousand years—what kind of monster would that require?

"Of course—Nana's talent is the strongest!" Zi JI chimed in loudly from the side, the pride and delight in her voice nearly overflowing.

Though she was putting on an act, her pride when speaking of Gu Yuena's talent came straight from her heart.

"Then—I would like to broaden my horizons as well. Would that be convenient?" Leng Yaozhu could not help growing curious.

Just how powerful was the talent that two Titled Douluo-level powerhouses praised so highly? She had seen many geniuses, but this was the first time a Limit Douluo had personally brought one out to show the world.

"Nana—let the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo have a look." Di Tian turned his head and nodded at Gu Yuena.

"Yes—"

Gu Yuena set down her teacup and rose to her feet. She took two steps forward, then stopped in the center of the reception room. With a thought, she activated Martial Soul Possession.

An elegant silver-white dragon silhouette emerged behind her. Its body was slender and graceful, its silver scales reflecting a cold gleam beneath the soul-conducting lamps, while faint starlight seemed to be mirrored in its draconic eyes.

At the same time, a purple Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath her feet. It circled her body once before steadily hovering around her ankle.

She raised both hands, palms upward—earth, water, wind, and fire surged, fused, and separated within her palms. At times they became a spinning flame; at others, they condensed into a clear droplet of water; then they scattered into a wisp of flowing breeze, before finally settling into a steady earth-yellow glow.

The four elements were as docile and obedient in her hands as tamed pets. She switched between them smoothly and naturally, without the slightest delay.

Leng Yaozhu's pupils contracted slightly.

"An exceptionally powerful True Dragon Martial Soul, innate Spirit Connection Realm Mental Power—and the talent to control four elements at once."

She could not help voicing her assessment in a low murmur.

Such talent was extraordinarily rare even in the entire history of the Spirit Pagoda, perhaps not even inferior to that man she had once known.

That arrogant, peerless man—the only man who had ever moved her heart—was likely no better than this, was he?

"I see now why Lord Black Dragon chose to enter the world," Leng Yaozhu said with feeling, her tone full of sudden understanding.

"Your daughter's talent is simply too powerful. She absolutely cannot be allowed to remain buried in obscurity. If such an excellent seedling were wasted in the remote wilderness, it would truly be a loss for the entire continent."

She secretly marveled to herself. Even on today's Douluo Continent, there is actually such a powerful secluded family.

A Demigod-level clan leader, a rank ninety-six Super Douluo wife, and a daughter whose talent was terrifying enough to make people question reality—this family already possessed the foundation to become a top power on the continent.

"Of course—I have absolute confidence in Nana." Di Tian nodded happily, his tone resolute. "She will certainly lead our family to glory."

He paused, then changed the subject. "However, the main reason we brought Nana here this time is to find her a teacher. Zi and I are not very familiar with the various matters of human society. When it comes to raising and teaching a child, we still need someone experienced."

When Leng Yaozhu heard those words, her mind began racing.

A teacher—and he had deliberately said it in front of her—was he implying that she should take the role?

Her thoughts spun rapidly, and she made her decision almost at once.

"Lord Black Dragon," Leng Yaozhu said solemnly, her tone sincere and confident.

"Although I am currently only a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo, I am confident that I can break through to rank ninety-nine within a few years. May I ask whether I am qualified to become Nana's teacher?"

"Of course—that was exactly what we had in mind." Di Tian nodded, his expression carrying satisfied approval.

"Our family wishes to join the Spirit Pagoda, and you are our introducer. Thus, we had long decided that you would be our first choice as Nana's teacher. First, this is fate; second, we believe in your character and ability."

Leng Yaozhu was overjoyed, though she did her best to maintain a dignified and appropriate smile.

She knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—not merely to take in a student with terrifying talent, but also to use this chance to firmly bind the Black Dragon Douluo and Dragon Devil Douluo to the conservative faction.

After pondering for a moment, she solemnly laid out her terms. "I swear upon my Martial Soul—once Nana reaches the Titled Douluo level, I will recommend her as one of the Four Great Spirit Envoys. Then, once Nana reaches my current cultivation, I will pass the position of vice tower master to her. This is my promise, and it is also the greatest recognition I can offer for Nana's talent."

Di Tian fell silent for a moment, as though weighing something, before slowly nodding.

"We do not ask for much—we only want Nana to receive the best possible upbringing. Tower Master Leng, we have felt your sincerity."

In truth, choosing Leng Yaozhu and the conservative faction from the very beginning had been Gu Yuena's instruction.

The Qian Gu family was simply too dominant. With three Limit Douluo in one family, even Di Tian would struggle to confront them head-on.

Thus, the conservative faction, which did not even possess a Limit Douluo, naturally became Gu Yuena's first target. Only the weak needed outside support, and only the weak were easier to infiltrate and control.

Once they joined the Spirit Pagoda's traditional faction, Di Tian could even become the member with the highest cultivation within the conservative faction, thereby subtly influencing the direction of the entire faction.

After all, on the Douluo Continent, nothing was more important than cultivation and strength.

With a Demigod in the traditional faction, they would at least have the confidence to contend openly with the Qian Gu family's radical faction. They would no longer be in a position where they could only be suppressed.

And once she controlled the traditional faction, Gu Yuena could better mobilize the Spirit Pagoda's resources and examine all awakening records and Soul Spirit purchase records, allowing her to find her child more quickly.

Everything was progressing steadily according to plan.

This time, she absolutely would not lose him again!
