Chapter 109 The Mischievous Long Yeyue
Is this kid cheating?!
Yali's eyes widened suddenly, and her mouth opened into a perfect "0" shape, her face full of disbelief.
Even Yun Ming, who had been pretending to be calm, stopped in his tracks completely, his gaze towards Lu Xingchen filled with shock and utter astonishment.
A total of eight elements—water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space, and lightning—can all be controlled by one person!
Such extraordinary talent is unheard of in the current world of Soul Masters, and even if you search through all the historical records of Soul Masters, you will not find a single example of it.
Even in Shrek Academy's records, there has only ever been one Soul Master who could control three elements, but Lu Xingchen has five more than that Soul Master!
This is truly—
Ya Li stared at the dragon scale on the back of the boy's hand, which shimmered with a faint silver light, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. She asked softly, "Little Star, did you sense anything unusual? Like, it's like you have an extra martial soul or something?"
The ability to transform into a dragon and the incredible multi-elemental manipulation skills seem to be characteristics only found in twin martial souls.
In the world of Soul Masters, examples of awakening twin martial souls after birth are extremely rare, but not unheard of.
Some Soul Masters, due to insufficient Soul Power, cannot withstand the pressure of twin Martial Souls, causing their second Martial Soul to temporarily fall into a dormant state, only to gradually awaken when their own strength is strong enough.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen gently shook his head, "No, I can only clearly sense the existence of a martial spirit."
Just then, Yun Ming stepped forward, his broad hand gently landing on Lu Xingchen's shoulder, his deep voice carrying a reassuring strength: "Relax, don't resist."
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely pure and gentle soul power, under his precise control, flowed slowly into Lu Xingchen's body like a trickle, circulating along his meridians and carefully examining every node of soul power.
After a moment, Yun Ming withdrew his hand, a thoughtful look flashing in his deep eyes, and slowly said, "Soul Masters who awaken twin martial souls later in life generally experience two developmental scenarios, but both of these scenarios are considered benign mutations."
"The first option is that your second martial soul successfully breaks through its limitations and fully awakens, thus making you a true twin martial soul master."
"Another development direction is that the second martial soul does not take shape independently, but instead deeply merges with your existing martial soul, causing the martial soul to undergo a complete mutation. The two complement each other and eventually transform into a unique and powerful martial soul."
"It seems that your current situation is similar to the second one. Your second martial soul has not taken shape, but instead lies dormant in your body in the form of bloodline, which is why you are experiencing the strange phenomenon of dragon transformation and multi-elemental manipulation."
Upon hearing this, Ya Li's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she quickly asked, "Brother Ming, can you tell which type of bloodline Little Star belongs to?"
Yun Ming nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the silver dragon scales on Lu Xingchen's palm. He said with certainty, "Dragon form, plus this ability to manipulate multiple elements, if I'm not mistaken, Xiao Chen's bloodline should be the Silver Dragon bloodline."
As he spoke, he carefully sensed the pure dragon might emanating from the dragon scales and added, "Moreover, it is an extremely pure silver dragon bloodline, at least at the level of a true dragon, even stronger than the bloodlines of Zhuoshi and Feng Wuyu."
Shrek Academy is not lacking in those with true dragon bloodlines. The two elders of the Sea God Pavilion—Zhuo Shi with his Crimson Armor Dragon Martial Soul and Feng Wuyu with his Blazing Fire Dragon Martial Soul—are both genuine true dragon martial souls.
Yun Ming had sparred with them many times before, and was very familiar with the unique aura of the True Dragon bloodline.
But the dragon might emanating from Lu Xingchen was far more domineering and pure than that of the two from the turbid world, faintly exuding a pressure that surpassed that of ordinary true dragons.
"According to ancient records, silver dragons are born with the ability to control the seven elements: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space. As for the lightning element that you have, Xiao Chen, it should be a result of an acquired mutation."
Clearly, Yun Ming was certain that Lu Xingchen's bloodline was the mutated silver dragon bloodline.
After all, his ability to transform into a dragon is enough to prove his dragon bloodline; and his ability to manipulate multiple elements is also highly distinctive.
In the entire dragon lineage, only silver dragons possess the talent to manipulate multiple elements; the other true dragons generally only have a single elemental attribute.
He never imagined that while a normal silver dragon could only control seven elements, Lu Xingchen's "pirated" silver dragon was completely different.
The five ways in which God works are the true source of His power.
As the core "audience" pathway, it endowed Lu Xingchen with mental strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, as well as the ability to disguise himself as a silver dragon.
The "Sailor" pathway granted him the power to control the three elements of water, wind, and lightning.
The "Sun" pathway allowed him to grasp the true meaning of light and fire.
The "Hanged Man" pathway granted him the authority to manipulate dark elements.
The "White Tower" pathway further endowed Lu Xingchen with powerful analytical and imitation abilities. As long as the analysis is in-depth enough and he possesses the corresponding soul power qualities, he can perfectly simulate the abilities of others.
Long ago, Lu Xingchen had used the analytical power of the "White Tower" method to conduct in-depth research on several powerful soul beasts that possessed earth, space, metal, and wood elemental abilities respectively.
In other words, he can actually control as many as ten elements, but he hasn't fully revealed them yet.
Yun Ming's gaze fell on Lu Xingchen, his tone more solemn than ever before: "Xiao Chen, join Shrek Academy. With your talent, no academy in the East Sea is capable of guiding you. Going to those academies would only be a waste of your time and talent."
"I can assure you that, throughout the entire Douluo Continent, there is no academy more suitable to teach you than Shrek Academy."
"Shrek Academy has recorded the characteristics and cultivation methods of thousands of martial souls on the continent, and has long possessed a complete and mature system for cultivating geniuses."
"Whether it's your Gemstone Martial Soul or the Silver Dragon Bloodline within you, our academy has corresponding ancient texts and experienced instructors."
"Even in the field of forging techniques, we have an eighth-level master craftsman here who can guide you through the maze."
"If you are willing to join Shrek Academy, I can promise that the academy will provide you with the best resources and training, and will also arrange for a powerhouse at least at the Super Douluo level to serve as your exclusive mentor."
After saying this in one breath, Yun Ming said no more, but just looked at Lu Xingchen quietly, waiting for his answer.
To be honest, if his wife Ya Li hadn't already taken a liking to the child, he would have definitely snatched him away right now and taken Lu Xingchen as his personal disciple.
Because the young man before them already possessed the qualities to reach the pinnacle of the Soul Master world.
His unprecedented spiritual talent, his special ability to absorb the power of faith, and the multi-element manipulation abilities he is currently displaying.
An ordinary Soul Master would be considered a "monster" if he possessed even one of these qualities, but Lu Xingchen possessed all three!
If he continues to grow step by step, he undoubtedly has the potential to become a quasi-god.
As for gods? That's far too distant; even Yun Ming himself doesn't have the confidence to become a god.
Your promise is as good as no promise at all!
Lu Xingchen silently grumbled to himself, reflecting on Yun Ming's words just now, and couldn't help but feel speechless. No matter how he listened, it seemed like Yun Ming was just making empty promises.
What are the cultivation methods for martial spirit and bloodline?
Lu Xingchen didn't need this at all. If it weren't for the magic potion sequence supporting him, his gemstone martial soul would be utterly worthless, and the so-called silver dragon bloodline was just a facade he had created.
And what about so-called resource cultivation?
Given Shrek Academy's consistent approach, these resources are probably not free; he might be sent on various perilous and dangerous missions later on.
As for that so-called Super Douluo teacher—it should refer to Ya Li, right?
Just kidding. With the talent he's shown so far, if he really wanted to become an apprentice, I believe most of the powerful figures on the continent would be vying to take him as their disciple.
However, after thinking it over again, Lu Xingchen did not refuse directly.
Although Yun Ming's words sounded like empty promises, it was undeniable that Shrek Academy, as the premier academy in the world of soul masters, was indeed an excellent transitional place for his early growth.
The resources and connections here are far greater than those in Tianhai City.
"Little Star." Ya Li's gentle voice rang out at the right time, her face full of anticipation, her eyes fixed on him.
Lu Xingchen was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly stated his conditions: "I have a few good friends at the Tianhai Orphanage. We have already made a promise to study at the same academy. If Shrek Academy can also let them enter the inner academy to study, then I will agree to join Shrek."
Although Rosalia and the others are equally talented and joining Shrek Academy shouldn't be a problem, according to the normal process, that would be several years from now.
If we could use Yun Ming's connections to get them into Shrek Academy's inner court early and receive the best educational resources, that would certainly be a good thing.
At least in terms of educational resources alone, Shrek Academy is far superior to any academy in the East China Sea.
"Friends from the orphanage?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Ming was slightly taken aback, then recalled the information he had about Lu Xingchen.
Born in the Tianhai Orphanage, after experiencing the tragedy of the evil spirit master, she lived with the orphanage director and the only four remaining children.
According to the assessment of Shrek's intelligence personnel, the four children were also exceptionally talented. Even if they were not born with full soul power, they were at least at level eight or nine innate soul power.
With this level of talent, as long as he receives some training, it's a sure thing that he'll be admitted to Shrek Academy's inner court in the future.
"Okay." Yun Ming agreed without hesitation.
Taking in Lu Xingchen, who has unlimited potential, along with four other exceptionally talented children, is a deal that's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it!
"Hmph! I disagree!"
However, just as Yun Ming finished speaking, a cold snort containing immense soul power suddenly rang out from the void.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling silver light suddenly shone in front of them. After the light dissipated, an old woman dressed in simple clothes and a simple hairpin slowly walked out from it.
The old woman looked completely ordinary, dressed in faded coarse cloth clothes, her hair simply tied into a bun and secured with a wooden hairpin. She looked like an ordinary elderly woman from a poor area, with nothing special about her.
But the moment she appeared, Yun Ming and Ya Li's expressions changed slightly at the same time, and they quickly and respectfully said, "Sister Yue, what brings you here?"
That's right, the old woman who appeared at this moment is none other than Long Yeyue, the second Limit Douluo of Shrek Academy besides Yun Ming, known as the "Light and Dark Douluo"!
Long Yeyue snorted coldly, her sharp gaze sweeping over Yun Ming and Ya Li, her tone carrying a hint of displeasure: "If I don't show myself soon, won't the rules that Shrek Academy has inherited for tens of thousands of years be completely trampled on by the two of you!"
"
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Lu Xingchen, her cloudy eyes narrowing slightly as she scrutinized the young man before her. Her tone was calm yet carried an undeniable air of authority: "Little fellow, to be able to cultivate to the 30th level Quasi-Soul Venerable at such a young age, you are indeed a rare and promising talent."
"But looking at the entire Douluo Continent, there are countless people who would do anything to join Shrek Academy."
"Now that you've been given this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you should accept it with gratitude, instead of relying on your perceived talent to negotiate with us. Do you really think Shrek Academy needs another so-called genius like you?"
Long Yeyue had been cultivating in seclusion atop the ancient golden tree. With the powerful spiritual energy of the Spirit Realm, she could sense every movement on Seagod Island.
As early as when Lu Xingchen and Ye Xinglan's battle broke out, the fluctuations of soul power emitted by them had already caught her attention.
Afterwards, she overheard Lu Xingchen and Ya Li's conversation and naturally learned that the child in front of her possessed the bloodline of a silver dragon.
Silver dragon bloodline, control of the eight elements—this is an existence that is extremely rare!
Even within the dragon race, gold dragons and silver dragons hold extremely special positions, standing at the very top of the dragon pyramid.
Looking across the Douluo Continent today, there are quite a few Soul Masters with True Dragon bloodlines, but there are none with top-tier bloodlines like Golden Dragon or Silver Dragon.
Lu Xingchen's silver dragon bloodline is perhaps the first of its kind on the continent in thousands of years. Its development potential and research value are both priceless.
but!
She disliked Lu Xingchen's temper in the slightest!
At such a young age, he is so arrogant and conceited. He only has a special talent that others don't have, yet he dares to use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Shrek Academy.
This made Long Yeyue extremely unhappy!
That's why she showed up in person, wanting to teach this little guy a lesson and show him what it means to be outmatched.
Shrek Academy's willingness to open its doors to him is an honor for him, not a license for him to boast!
Long Yeyue stared at Lu Xingchen, her eyes sharp as knives, and said meaningfully, "Young people should not be too impetuous when they do things. They should think carefully about the possible consequences of being too flamboyant."
However, Lu Xingchen completely ignored Long Yeyue's pressure and taunts.
If we're talking about being arrogant, who in the entire Shrek Academy is as troublesome as this old woman? Where does she get the nerve to lecture herself?
Lu Xingchen raised his chin, his eyes frank: "If a young person doesn't act with vigor, what kind of young person is he? Anyway, if Rosalia and the others can't come in with me, then I won't join Shrek Academy."
"you-
—
Long Yeyue's wrinkled old face twitched violently, clearly angered by Lu Xingchen's words. She sneered, "Then let me make this clear: Shrek Academy does not welcome mediocre talents who abuse their talent! As long as I live, I will never allow your friends to set foot in the inner courtyard!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the old woman and the child, which had instantly plummeted to freezing point, Ya Li felt overwhelmed and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Sister Yue, Little Xingchen—you two should both calm down."
Even the usually composed Yun Ming felt a headache coming on when he saw this scene.
Everything was fine just now. It seemed like a win-win situation was about to be achieved between him and Lu Xingchen—Shrek would gain five talented children, and Lu Xingchen would receive resources from the academy and grow rapidly.
Where did things go wrong? How did things suddenly turn out like this?
