Na'er Wants to Be with Brother Yao Xuan

After finishing all this, Mang Tian personally demonstrated the correct forging stances for Yao Xuan and Tang Wulin. He then had them practice and corrected their mistakes in posture.

For Yao Xuan, whose comprehension had been enhanced, mastering these stances was as easy as taking something from his pocket. Tang Wulin, meanwhile, had inherited excellent forging genes and understood everything at a glance, leaving Mang Tian extremely satisfied.

"Alright, I've taught you enough. You can go home now. Be here before five-thirty tomorrow afternoon to begin your tasks. You may leave once you finish them. If you don't, then keep working until they're done."

Glancing at the clock, Mang Tian realized that it was already seven-thirty in the evening and dismissed them.

"Goodbye, Teacher!"

After bidding Mang Tian farewell together, Yao Xuan and Tang Wulin said goodbye to each other and headed home separately.

I never expected forging to promote the fusion of Ancestral Dragon Power as well. The effect isn't particularly noticeable, but it's still a nice gain!

As he walked down the road, Yao Xuan sensed the changes in his body and nodded in satisfaction.

After an hour of recovery, aided by both the Basic Ancestral Dragon Body and Ancestral Dragon Power, ninety percent of the soreness in Yao Xuan's body had disappeared. His torn tendons had also mostly healed; another half hour would be enough for a full recovery.

What surprised Yao Xuan even more was that during the forging process, the residual Ancestral Dragon Power within his body had been absorbed once again, increasing his strength by around one kilogram. It was truly an unexpected delight.

After walking for a while, Yao Xuan soon arrived at his front door. He pressed the doorbell, and before long, a petite silver-haired girl came out to greet him. It was Na'er.

"Brother Yao Xuan, you're back!"

Her eyes filled with excitement as Na'er looked up at Yao Xuan.

"Mm, I'm back, Na'er."

Yao Xuan gently stroked Na'er's short silver hair, a natural smile appearing on his face as he replied.

"Yao Xuan, how did today's assessment go? Did everything go smoothly?"

Immediately afterward, Lin Ximeng's concerned voice came from deeper inside the apartment.

"Mom, everything went smoothly. Master Mang Tian has agreed to take me as his apprentice and even gave me personal guidance! Also, from now on, I'll be going to his place for two hours of forging practice every day after school."

Hearing Lin Ximeng's question, Yao Xuan answered truthfully.

"You passed? That's wonderful! Mom is so proud of you! Come on, let's all eat."

Upon learning that Yao Xuan had passed Master Mang Tian's assessment, Lin Ximeng's voice brimmed with excitement. As a Soul Grandmaster, she understood far better than ordinary people what a level-six master craftsman represented.

"Oh, you haven't eaten yet?"

Hearing Lin Ximeng's words, surprise flashed in Yao Xuan's eyes as he asked.

"That's right. I wanted Na'er to eat first, but she insisted on waiting for you and refused to eat."

As she answered, Lin Ximeng emerged from the kitchen and brought out the dishes that had been kept warm, placing them on the table.

"Thank you, Na'er."

Hearing that Na'er had waited for him before eating, Yao Xuan was quietly touched. Looking into her large, watery purple eyes, he spoke sincerely.

"Brother Yao Xuan has a comfortable aura. Na'er wants to eat with Brother Yao Xuan. Na'er wants to be with Brother Yao Xuan."

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Na'er pressed herself against him and answered with a serious expression.

"Mm, big brother is very happy to eat with Na'er too! You must be hungry, right, Na'er? Come on, let's eat quickly."

As he spoke, Yao Xuan took Na'er's hand and led her to the dining table, where they began enjoying their hearty dinner.

Nothing happened that night. The next day arrived.

Unlike the previous day, this day was for academic classes. Before the bell had even rung, Yao Xuan had already arrived in the classroom.

"Morning, Brother Xuan! Brother Xuan, you were incredible yesterday! I never expected that not only would you have such unique insights into cultivation, but you'd also be so talented at forging!"

Seeing Yao Xuan enter the classroom, Tang Wulin stepped forward and spoke admiringly. For some reason, he also felt a special sense of closeness around Yao Xuan. Whenever he got near him, he felt especially comfortable, and his mood lifted as well.

"Not really, I'm just a little stronger than most people! By the way, Wulin, your arm should have recovered too, right? Today, our tasks will be doubled!"

Yao Xuan answered modestly before asking.

"Mm, it's much better. Not only that, I feel like my strength has increased quite a bit too! It seems the ointment Master Mang Tian gave us is something very precious!"

Hearing Yao Xuan's question, Tang Wulin answered excitedly. He chatted with Yao Xuan for a few more moments until the class bell rang.

The teacher who came to teach them was a middle-aged man in his forties wearing black-rimmed glasses. The lesson itself was quite simple and posed no difficulty for Yao Xuan, whose comprehension had been enhanced. With a thought, he entered the system space.

Spend 16 Golden Evolution Points to increase Ancestral Dragon Bloodline by 0.8%. After the increase, Ancestral Dragon Bloodline will reach 2.0%. Proceed?

As the thought crossed Yao Xuan's mind, a system notification sounded beside his ear.

"Yes."

Hearing the system prompt, Yao Xuan nodded without hesitation.

With a thought from Yao Xuan, sixteen Golden Evolution Points transformed into the purest Evolution Source Energy and continuously poured into his meridians, beginning to enhance the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline within him.

As the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline increased, nine-colored runes containing unfathomable and awe-inspiring energy continuously condensed within Yao Xuan's blood. They immediately fused with his bloodline, remolding his body to the greatest possible extent.

A nine-colored radiance invisible to the naked eye emanated from his body, and Yao Xuan felt himself grow slightly warm. Within him, the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline began to boil, while his cells frantically absorbed the aura it released and began transforming. Their color became increasingly crystal-clear, and their evolutionary potential rose dramatically.

Why is Brother Yao Xuan glowing? This feeling is so familiar and intimate. How strange!

Although the other students could not detect Yao Xuan's abnormality, Tang Wulin, as the owner of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, immediately sensed the changes in Yao Xuan. He gave Yao Xuan a suspicious glance, yet could not determine what this sensation was. In the end, he turned his attention back to the teacher.
