Messages from His Parents

A young couple stood within Long Fei's mind. "It's been a long time, my child. If you're seeing this, it means you've awakened your martial soul and become a gifted Soul Master." One of them, a strikingly handsome black-haired man, spoke.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Fei. Mom wasn't there to watch you grow up, not because she didn't want to be. Your father and I encountered some trouble here. By the time you obtain a black Soul Ring, we should be able to meet again. You must take good care of yourself. Although Mom hasn't contributed much to the clan, those old geezers won't dare bully you. Finally, finally..." Long Fei's mother, Yu Kexin, said through tears.

So these are my parents in this life? Why does my heart hurt a little? Long Fei thought.

"Obtaining a black Soul Ring... That should mean Soul King level. I wonder if I can obtain a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as my fourth Soul Ring."

"Xiao Fei, this cultivation method, the Dragon Transformation Art, cultivates spiritual power and Soul Power at the same time. It also requires a strong physique, or your meridians won't be able to withstand such powerful energy." After comforting Yu Kexin, Long Aotian spoke to Long Fei.

"There's also an immortal herb in the ring called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. The method for consuming it is recorded inside as well. I hope you absorb it after obtaining your first Soul Ring. One must guard against others. It's best if fewer people know about a treasure capable of defying heaven and changing fate."

Long Fei: This is amazing! Is this what it feels like to live off someone else?!

"Our two strands of spiritual power will remain on you so we can sense your location, and also..." Before Long Aotian finished speaking, nine Soul Rings lit up around him and Yu Kexin in turn. Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red-gold—nine brilliantly colored Soul Rings.

"We've left three seals of energy inside your body. They can play a crucial role when you are in the greatest danger. Besides, no force that dares lay a hand on my child has been born yet!" Long Aotian declared domineeringly.

"Lastly, Xiao Fei, take good care of yourself and cultivate diligently. In a few years, our family will be reunited." As soon as Long Aotian finished speaking, their figures vanished.

"Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings..." Long Fei murmured. "At most, it'll be ten years. Then our family can be reunited."

After leaving the room, Long Fei wandered around the clan grounds to relax.

He had barely made a few rounds through the clan when many disciples greeted him. None of that cliché nonsense about villains bullying the protagonist happened.

"Wow, Little Brother Long Fei is so cute!" Many female disciples in the clan surrounded Long Fei.

"Damn it, my Xiao Mei. That smug bastard—he's only got Rank 9 Innate Soul Power, just eighteen times mine, that's all." An ordinary male disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan cursed by the roadside. "Enough, hurry up and leave. Stop embarrassing yourself." The disciple beside him quickly dragged him away, afraid someone would recognize them and they would lose face.

Long Fei squeezed out of the crowd of women and let out a long breath. "Sigh, being handsome isn't necessarily a good thing. Other than my talent, my looks are about the only thing I've got going for me."

It couldn't be helped. People naturally liked beautiful things. Who wouldn't like a cute little boy? (^V^)

"Cousin Long Fei."

The newcomer was Long Fei's cousin, Yu Tianheng. He was a popular figure in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and, together with Long Fei's other cousin Yu Tianxin, was known as one of the "Blue Lightning Twin Stars."

"Cousin Tianheng, why are you here?" In Long Fei's eyes, this cousin of his was a cultivation maniac who always wanted to surpass Yu Tianxin. But for some reason, someone so talented and hardworking had performed rather poorly in the original story.

As the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's greatest genius, Yu Tianheng enjoyed the clan's preferential allocation of resources, yet when he first appeared, he was nineteen years old with only Rank 39 Soul Power. You couldn't say he wasn't talented—he must have had at least Rank 8 Innate Soul Power. But you also couldn't say he lacked resources; even Yu Xiaogang, with his Rank 0.5 Innate Soul Power, had been fed up to Rank 29.

After grumbling a little, Long Fei decided that since he had come to this world, the tragic outcome of the Soul Hunting Operation absolutely would not befall the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. At the very least, he had to improve the strength of the clan's geniuses.

"I just finished a duel with Yu Tianxin on the clan arena. I happened to break through to Rank 19, and I ran into you on my way back," Yu Tianheng replied.

He just broke through to Rank 19? Hmm... After I obtain my Soul Ring, I should be Rank 12 or 13. Then, after absorbing that immortal herb, I should be around Rank 20. Rank 20 at six years old—not bad. (^V^)

"Ahem, Cousin Tianheng, you're nine years old now, right? Logically speaking, with your talent, you should have reached Rank 20 long ago, shouldn't you?" Long Fei analyzed.

"That's true in theory, but what makes the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul truly powerful is Dragon Transformation. After obtaining our first Soul Ring, we must constantly familiarize ourselves with our martial souls in order to comprehend Dragon Transformation." Yu Tianheng thought for a moment before answering.

"Uh, is there a possibility that you don't need to comprehend Dragon Transformation at all? You only need your dragon bloodline to reach a certain level to gain the ability of Dragon Transformation." Long Fei replied, somewhat speechless.

Yu Tianheng: ??

(Basically, Dragon Transformation was obtained with the third Soul Ring. Those who failed to obtain it either had Soul Rings with low age limits among their first three rings, or the dragon soul beasts' bloodline concentration was insufficient.)
