Chapter 171 The Tragic Dream of Heaven.
"Bingbing! How's my judgment? Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, I saw at a glance that Xiao Wuxuan had the potential to become a god, and I chose him without the slightest hesitation." Tianmeng Bingcan said smugly, his demeanor almost like a dog relying on its master's power. For a long time, Tianmeng Bingcan hadn't dared to approach Bingdi. Whenever he did, he was met with a beating.
Hearing that tone, Bingdi's small fists hardened again, and she suddenly gave Tianmeng Bingcan a bright smile.
Tianmeng Bingcan was startled by that smile.
"W-what do you want to do? You don't mean you're going to hit me again, do you?" Tianmeng Bingcan asked timidly.
"Hit you? I don't want to hit you today. I want to take this opportunity to clarify something with you." Bingdi's voice was calm as water.
"What is it?" Tianmeng Bingcan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.
"Becoming Xiao Wuxuan's Wisdom Soul Ring gave me the possibility of immortality, and I do owe you a favor for that. But Tianmeng, you must understand that our Soul Beast race admires strength, and a born king like me is even more so. My other half can only be someone stronger than me, or at least of equal strength. And you, no. You will never surpass me in this lifetime, so don't waste your time on me. It's pointless."
"Bingbing, waaaah!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately burst into tears, as if her heart had suffered a thousand points of damage.
"So pitiful!" For a moment, Wuxuan felt a little sorry for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Bingdi watched Tianmeng Ice Silkworm run away and breathed a sigh of relief. He muttered to himself, "Making it clear like this might be better for both me and Tianmeng. I really don't know how Tianmeng fell in love with me. Does he have masochistic tendencies? Even if he does, how could a natural-born king like me like a piece of food?"
Wu Xuan nodded slightly without saying anything. He wasn't some kind of relationship expert. His own feelings were still a mess, so he didn't have time to care about others.
"Wu Xuan!" Ice Emperor suddenly called out.
"Hmm! What is it?" Wu Xuan continued walking unhurriedly.
"Just like your teacher said, successfully constructing a Soul Core at level sixty is something that has never happened before in the history of the continent. With a Soul Core that only Title Douluo-level beings possess, even if you don't meditate and cultivate, the speed at which your Soul Power increases won't be slower than with regular meditation. I believe you've felt it too."
Feeling the Soul Power gradually filling his body, Wu Xuan said happily, "Does that mean I can meditate and cultivate every single moment of the day?"
"Theoretically, that's true, but if you can't integrate and adapt to your rapidly increasing strength, constructing a second Soul Core and taking the step towards becoming a Title Douluo will become several times more difficult." Ice Emperor said quite seriously.
"I understand. Next, I will ask my teacher and the others for permission to go out and train. Combat is undoubtedly the fastest way to adapt to one's own strength." Wu Xuan said firmly.
Moreover, judging by the days, the day of the Body Sect's surprise attack on Mingde Hall was not far off. With a divine skill like the Shadowless Wind, which allowed him to appear and disappear without a trace, Wu Xuan would be furious if he didn't seize the opportunity to make a fortune. In the Shrek Academy's inner court cafeteria, Wu Xuan devoured a variety of high-end dishes, eating ten plates of different kinds of thousand-year-old soul beast meat and nearly twenty bowls of crystal white corn rice before finally stretching contentedly.
"Brother Xuan! You really broke through to Soul Emperor?" Qian Gu Ming, sitting beside him, stared blankly at the plate in front of Wu Xuan.
It was already noon, but there weren't many inner court students eating in the cafeteria. The inner court cafeteria served food all day, but after a student broke through to Soul Emperor, the academy's formal courses ceased, so students above the Soul Emperor level rarely ate at mealtimes.
Wu Xuan picked up the juice on the table and drank it all in one gulp, saying calmly, "Is this fake? My talent is so great that breaking through to Soul Emperor is a piece of cake."
"That can't be right! We both have innate full soul power, and you're only a few months older than me, how come you're already more than ten levels higher than me?" Qian Guming couldn't help but doubt his life.
"Xiao Ming, you've actually done quite well. Forty-seven levels of soul power, almost on par with Dai Huabin. I really admire your perseverance," Wu Xuan said, patting Qian Gu Ming's shoulder.
Qian Gu Ming shook his head slightly. "I took a shortcut. To be honest, Brother Xuan, our Qian Gu family's ancestral martial soul is the Panlong Staff. But in my generation, my Panlong Staff martial soul mutated into a fire attribute. Later, during the dragon soul awakening ceremony after obtaining my first soul ring, the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul within my Panlong Staff was only in form, lacking its true meaning."
"According to the family's historical records, my Panlong Staff should be considered a useless martial soul. My innate soul power should theoretically not exceed two levels, but I am indeed born with full innate soul power. There has never been such a precedent in the family, which is why I came to Shrek Academy to study."
Wu Xuan nodded slightly, signaling Qian Gu Ming to continue.
"You know Teacher Wang Yan, right? He's my cousin. Last time, during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, my cousin got the chance to enter the Sea God Pavilion's library. It was based on the information in the library that my cousin summarized a method to awaken the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul's intent within my Panlong Staff."
"Teacher Wang is your cousin? You've been hiding this well!" Wu Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
Qian Gu Ming rolled his eyes. "That's not the point. What I want to talk about is the method to enhance and awaken my Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul."
"Alright, continue, continue." Wu Xuan waved his hand.
"Teacher Wang's idea was to find a fire-attribute dragon soul beast with true dragon bloodline in the Star Dou Great Forest that was about to die. He would use the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul's affinity for dragon soul beasts to refine it and infuse the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul within my Panlong Staff with new intent."
"Not a bad idea. It seems the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul you ultimately obtained is extraordinary." Wu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, my grandfather spent nearly a year finding me a Crimson-Armored Dragon with a lifespan of about 60,000 years. Because of this fortuitous encounter, my soul power surged, my strength directly overwhelmed Dai Huabin, and I successfully entered the Inner Academy." A hint of pride flashed across Qian Guming's face as he spoke.
"So why are you telling me all this now?" Wu Xuan put down his cup, his expression calm.
Qian Guming hooked his arm around Wu Xuan's neck and chuckled, "Hehe! I have my reasons for telling you this, Brother Xuan. I plan to follow you after graduation, and hopefully become an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion."
"You kid! So that's what you're thinking." Wu Xuan was both amused and exasperated.
Becoming an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion was extremely difficult. Even the most talented direct descendants of major soul master families were excluded. This was because the Sea God Pavilion had never had a direct descendant of a soul master family become an Elder.
Of course, the Sea God Pavilion Master is an exception, but to become the Sea God Pavilion Master, the first thing to do is to break away from one's original family.
"Then, Brother Xuan, you..."
"Don't even think about it. I won't set that precedent. If I do, and the higher-ups have so-called vested interests, will Shrek Academy's inner court still be a holy land for Soul Master cultivation?" Wu Xuan refused without hesitation.
"That's true. The current situation of the outer court is a cautionary tale." Qian Guming nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Ming, if you really want to achieve something in the future, stay and help me after graduating from the inner court. I plan to create a new force that can change the entire Soul Master world's landscape." Wu Xuan stood up and patted Qian Guming on the shoulder.
"Ready at any time!" Qian Guming clenched his fist happily.
