A Red Luan Candidate with Innate Full Soul Power?

The young man was about to keep cursing.

Suddenly, the female Soul Master behind him jabbed him hard in the back.

He turned around and saw her frantically signaling to him with her eyes.

Following her gaze to the inside of Dai Chengqian's collar, he spotted the imperial crest, and cold sweat instantly broke out over him.

Although he did not know who Dai Chengqian was, a member of the imperial family was not someone he could afford to provoke.

He hurriedly stood and said respectfully to Dai Chengqian:

"I'm sorry. I'll process her application right away."

After fumbling through the paperwork, he handed Asuya her Star Luo Royal Academy student ID with both hands.

Then he told Dai Chengqian, "There are still a few documents missing, but those can be submitted later."

Dai Chengqian nodded. He had no intention of making trouble for him and was about to leave with Asuya.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"I was wondering who it was. So it's my dear little brother."

Dai Chengqian looked over and saw Dai Weisi approaching with a group of people.

Dai Weisi was well known at the Star Luo Royal Academy, and almost everyone recognized him. At his arrival, everyone present bowed to him.

"Greetings, First Prince."

"We're at the academy. There's no need for such formalities."

Dai Weisi looked Dai Chengqian up and down and said:

"Sixth Brother, have you finished your training journey? You weren't injured, were you?"

Dai Chengqian chuckled. "Sister Zhu Yun looked after me the whole way. Everything went well."

Having his fiancée stolen away by Dai Chengqian was the greatest humiliation Dai Weisi had suffered in years.

That single remark from Dai Chengqian set fury blazing inside him.

He forced himself to hold it in and said with a smile that never reached his eyes:

"That's good. Father Emperor told me about the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament.

You'd better train hard. Your elder brother would be heartbroken if you couldn't even make it into the preliminaries."

With that, Dai Weisi left with his people, unwilling to stay another second.

Dai Weisi had already decided that once the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament began, he would eliminate Dai Chengqian in the preliminaries.

He absolutely could not give Dai Chengqian a chance to shine.

Dai Chengqian knew Dai Weisi would certainly come after him.

But he did not care.

Although Dai Weisi's team would be strong by then, it still could not compare to Shrek or Spirit Hall.

Besides, he had already poached Zhu Zhuyun, so their team's fighting strength should fall considerably compared to the original story.

"Dai Chengqian! You're actually a prince!"

Looking at the curious Asuya, Dai Chengqian smiled.

"You only just realized? Come on, let's go to the dining hall. Weren't you going to treat me?"

"Oh, right. My treat."

The two headed toward the Star Luo Royal Academy's dining hall.

The young man who had cursed at Dai Chengqian earlier was scared witless when he heard Dai Weisi call Dai Chengqian his sixth brother, and cold sweat drenched his body.

He was terrified that Dai Chengqian would make trouble for him.

When he saw Dai Chengqian take Asuya to the dining hall, apparently with no intention of troubling him, he let out a deep breath of relief and hurriedly said to the young woman who had warned him:

"Thank you for warning me. Otherwise, I would've been in serious trouble."

The young woman beside him covered her mouth and chuckled.

"It's fine. The Sixth Prince seemed quite friendly. He never intended to do anything to you.

If it had been the First Prince instead, then you really would've been in for it."

The Star Luo Royal Academy dining hall.

Dai Chengqian stared speechlessly at the feast of beast meat covering the table.

"Hey, didn't you say you were treating me? Why did you only order for yourself?"

Asuya scratched her head and said:

"Ah, right! I forgot...

Why don't you order some more? I'll pay."

Looking at the table full of food, Dai Chengqian shook his head.

"Forget it. This is fine. We won't be able to finish any more."

"All right, then. You're the one who won't order, so don't call me stingy."

Asuya turned toward the food, her eyes practically gleaming green, and grabbed it to stuff into her mouth.

Before long, she had devoured everything on the table.

Dai Chengqian watched, dumbfounded.

He had never seen a girl who could eat so much.

Asuya looked up at Dai Chengqian. "Aren't you hungry? Why aren't you eating?"

Dai Chengqian gave her a thumbs-up. "It's fine. I'm not hungry."

After chatting with Asuya at length,

Dai Chengqian learned where she came from.

Asuya came from the Red Leopard Tribe on the Star Luo Empire's frontier, and her Martial Soul was a Red Leopard.

Those with this Martial Soul possessed an innate ability to increase their Soul Power by eating the flesh and blood of Soul Beasts.

That was also why she could eat so much.

Besides that,

Asuya revealed something that surprised Dai Chengqian.

She actually had innate full Soul Power!

Soul Masters with innate full Soul Power cultivated far faster than ordinary Soul Masters in the later stages.

Combined with Asuya's talent for increasing her Soul Power by eating Soul Beast flesh and blood, her future cultivation speed certainly would not be slow.

Tang San, Oscar, and Bibi Dong all had innate full Soul Power, and they ultimately became some of the most powerful Soul Masters.

Given enough fortunate opportunities, Asuya probably possessed similar potential.

Upon hearing that she had innate full Soul Power, Dai Chengqian immediately added her to his shortlist of Red Luan candidates.

If her Affection grew high enough later, and there were no better Red Luan candidates,

Asuya would be a good choice for his third Red Luan.

With that thought, Dai Chengqian said to Asuya:

"Are you full? If not, you can have some more.

As your friend, I'll treat you."

"Really? I'd feel bad about that."

Hearing Dai Chengqian offer to treat her, Asuya widened her amber eyes and looked at him as though waiting for confirmation.

Dai Chengqian nodded and smiled. "Of course."

"You're a prince, so you must have more money than me. Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

With that, Asuya eagerly went off to choose more food.

Just then, a system notification announcing an increase in Affection sounded in Dai Chengqian's ears.

[Asuya's Affection toward you has increased by 5 points]

Seeing the increase in Affection, Dai Chengqian felt amused.

A foodie's Affection really was easy to raise. All he had to do was buy her more delicious food.

Once Asuya had eaten and drunk her fill, Dai Chengqian said goodbye to her and returned to the Imperial Prince's Residence.

Zhu Zhuyun had already left the Imperial Prince's Residence.

Zhu Zhuqing was quietly staying in the room Dai Chengqian had prepared for her.

Reaching her door, Dai Chengqian knocked gently.

"Zhu Zhuqing, it's me."

The door opened.

Dai Chengqian looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing was as cool and aloof as ever.

Dressed in her tight leather outfit, she fixed her eyes on Dai Chengqian and said:

"Sixth Prince, I can't keep hiding in your Imperial Prince's Residence forever, can I?

Are we going to do anything next?"

Dai Chengqian sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and told Zhu Zhuqing about his earlier conversation with the emperor.

When she heard the part where Dai Chengqian analyzed the nation's situation, Zhu Zhuqing looked at him in surprise.

She had not expected Dai Chengqian to possess a talent for governing as well as cultivation.

After hearing the Star Luo Emperor's promise to Dai Chengqian, Zhu Zhuqing looked at him with a frown.

"Putting together a team for the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament and placing in the top three isn't something you can accomplish easily."

Dai Chengqian said:

"Leave choosing our teammates to me.

You just need to focus on cultivating and improving your strength as quickly as possible.

I know a place with things that can give our strength a quick boost. Come with me in a few days."

"All right."

The place Dai Chengqian had mentioned as capable of improving one's strength was none other than the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which held a wealth of immortal herbs.
