Duke Zhu felt a shiver run down his spine as he witnessed the sword qi, strike the wolf.
'Too fast. I could barely follow the trajectory of that strike.
If it were to be directed at me, I wouldn't be able to dodge it completely unless I'm prepared beforehand.
Though it wouldn't kill me with only that much power it will definitely injure me.
What a terrifying person, he didn't even seem to put much power in that, he looks almost casual.
To top it off he did it with a blade of grass?' Duke Zhu felt astonished as he thought about it.
Duke Zhu stared at Hanrui and the dissected wolf for a second and suddenly he thought of something.
'Wait, I heard something like this happen some time ago at the announcement of the new Prince in Heaven Dou Empire.
Is this a coincidence? Or this Elder Li is just a facade and he is actually the real Prince Tianlong?' Zhu Wentian felt his world crumble as he stared at Hanrui in disbelief as this thought crossed his mind.
'No, it can't be…it can't be him. After all that Prince is a 7 year old with red hair. While this Elder Li looks to be a handsome white haired teenager with glasses.'
Zhu Wentian comforted himself and tried to deny the possibility in his mind.
While their father is having a panic attack, the Zhu Sister's, Zhuqing and Zhulin stared at Hanrui with stars in their eyes as they witnessed a glimpse of his power.
Hanrui raised an eyebrow as he noticed the emotional fluctuation in Zhu Wentian's face.
"It seems you have guessed my identity." He said startling Zhu Wentian.
In the surprised eyes of the trio, Hanrui removed his glasses. Instantly removing the disguise, as he revealed his appearance.
In the eyes of the Zhu family trio "Elder Li" suddenly turned into a young boy around 9-10 years old, with red hair and a cute face.
'hehehe, it was right of me to invest my time in creating these "Clark Kent" glasses. The perfect God level disguise.
I created them to avoid showing my other abilities with chakra, but didn't think it would come in handy this soon.
Hmm, maybe I should create one for Renxue later.' Hanrui mused as he enjoyed their dumbfounded reactions.
Duke Zhu came out of his daze first and turned serious. "Why reveal your identity to us?"
"Because, I can see you are a father first clan leader next, if you have a better option.
I'm showing you, I'm a better option. Don't worry, I've sealed this place, nothing we talked about here will leak.
Even if you want to confess everything to your Emperor it will be impossible. I have already placed a seal on you, if you try to betray me, it will punish you.
If you are in danger it will help you escape." Hanrui said casually while standing up and putting his glasses back on.
Zhu Wentian fell silent, seeing Hanrui's point and didn't mind the seal unknowingly placed on him.
Hanrui patted Zhuqing one last time before addressing Zhu Wentian.
"You can leave now, my new subordinate is going to finish soon and I haven't revealed my identity to him yet.
So I'll see you later, Father-in-law." Hanrui said, making Zhulin look at Zhuqing with a faint jealousy.
Zhu Wentian laughed heartily, feeling genuinely proud to be called Father-in-law, by such a genius.
Zhulin felt lost as she looked at her father and Hanrui. 'So, my sister's new fiance is not only strong but also a Prince, who has influence over both empires?
Why do I feel unwilling to lose to a little girl like Zhuqing?' She thought as she stood up to leave with her father.
Zhu Wentian and his daughters took their leave shortly after. While Zhuqing gave reluctant glances towards him, every few steps.
…
A few moments after the Zhu family left Wang Sheng opened his eyes, she stood up excitedly.
"Elder Li, I successfully absorbed the Soul Ring." He said.
"Um, Good job. Now show me your Martial Soul. I want to see what changes it took." Hanrui said.
Wang Sheng nodded and summoned his Martial Soul 'Battle Tiger'.
The shadow of the Martial Soul appeared behind Wang Sheng. But unlike before, the energy body looked more corporeal.
It gained the same lightning patterns in some areas of its body, and its color changed from Orange fur- Black stripe to White fur -Black and golden lightning stripes.
It stood in an upright position, almost like a human.
'Weird, why do I feel like I'm training Tai Lung gym kungfu panda?' He thought as he looked at the Martial Soul which now resembled Tai Lung, except without pants.
"Good, Good. Your Battle Tiger perfectly took over the characteristics of the Star demon tiger. So,what is your soul skill." Hanrui commented while asking.
Wang Sheng felt pride well up as he got praised but also felt gratitude as he summoned the soul ring and activated the first soul skill.
"Starfall Thunder Claw." He said, the soul ring flooded and both of his hands started charging lightning through them.
Wang Sheng walked to a near by bolder and a 5meters in size and start scratching it. And in just 3 scratches the boulder got sliced and crumbled to the ground.
"Not bad. Decent power and if it's used on living beings, it will have a short paralysis effect." Hanrui nodded as he looked at the demonstration.
"Since we are done here, let's go back." Hanrui said as he threw a soul guidance storage ring to Wang Sheng and turned back.
Wang Sheng caught the ring, puzzled, then noticed the corpse of the Star Demon Tiger and Twin-Tail Wolf and understood. He quickly put the two in the ring and followed after Hanrui.
'It seems Elder Li not only helped me absorb the Soul Ring, he even defended me from getting attacked by that wolf .' Wang Sheng thought, moved.
Hanrui and Wang Sheng quickly left the Soul Hunting Forest and took their seats in the carriage. Hanrui, going to sleep while Wang Sheng is guarding.
'Tang san oh Tang san,I really wonder how you would feel if you knew your defeated opponent got a Soul Ring that exceeded your limit.' Hanrui thought as he drifted into sleep.
