Chapter 3: Undisguised Murderous Intent
If the crystal in his hand hadn't already correctly tested six people, he would have suspected there was something wrong with the crystal ball.
"Gulp." Everyone gulped.
"Innate Level 20 Soul Power? Really?"
"I may be uneducated, but don't try to fool me!"
"Elder Xiong, are you mistaken? Innate Soul Power is at most full Soul Power, which is Innate Level 10. When has Innate Level 20 ever appeared?" By this time, Ji Changying had already stood up from her seat in shock.
"Yeah! I've never heard of Innate Level 20 Soul Power."
"Could it be that the crystal ball is broken?"
"Possibly!"
Following Ji Changying's words, everyone present couldn't help but question it. After all, Innate Level 20 Soul Power was something they had never even heard of, let alone seen.
"How could it not be there? You don't know, that's just your ignorance! Humph!" Faced with the questioning, Wang Lixiong couldn't help but snort.
"Soul Hall, Seraphim Spirit! Upon awakening, it possesses Level 20 Spirit Power. The former Pope, Qian Xunji, possessed the Seraphim Spirit! There's no doubt about it."
"Soul Hall? Seraphim Spirit? Pope?"
Everyone was once again shocked.
"Then, will our clan also produce a Pope-level powerhouse in the near future?"
"Titled Douluo?"
A Level 20 Innate Spirit Power—not to mention everyone else—filled Wang Sheng with shock. But at the same time, he couldn't help but smile wryly, for he sensed the murderous intent emanating from Ji Changying, barely concealed.
Surprisingly, no one in the stunned crowd noticed.
So, Wang Sheng could only smile foolishly, as if stunned by this sudden surprise.
"You don't believe it, do you? Dong'er, come up!"
To prove his point, Wang Lixiong called Wang Dong'er up!
Wang Dong'er understood and placed his hand on the crystal ball again.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on the crystal ball, and the result was soon revealed.
"Still Xiantian level 9!"
"Same as before."
"That explains it all. Wang Sheng's Xiantian level 20 is real."
"Great! Our Explosive Bear Clan is finally going to produce a Titled Douluo!"
"Is the position of the Seven Sects still far off?"
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. Having such a transcendental genius in their family would be a huge boon to them once he matured.
Wang Dong'er looked at Wang Sheng, tilting her head, and thought to herself, "Is this guy a monster?"
But seeing Wang Sheng's constant smirk, she couldn't help but mutter, "He's just a little silly."
Wang Sheng looked at the little girl with pity and almost burst out laughing. He thought to himself, "If he wasn't a little silly, believe it or not, this young master would definitely not survive this night?"
"Good, good, good! Our Bear Clan has finally produced a peerless genius." Ji Changying's face was filled with joy, not a trace of the murderous intent she had previously shown.
Wang Sheng, however, didn't dare to relax and continued to grin.
"Sheng'er, come here!"
Wang Sheng immediately ran over with a silly grin, saying respectfully, "Yes, Mother!"
Ji Changying was his adopted father's wife in this life, and though he was extremely reluctant, he had to call her that.
"I never thought you'd have such remarkable talent, Sheng'er!"
Ji Changying complimented him, then handed him something, saying, "This is a reward for you."
"What is this?" Wang Sheng looked puzzled, but he accepted it anyway. Just because
Wang Sheng didn't recognize it didn't mean others didn't. For example, Wang Lixiong beside him exclaimed, "Soul bone?"
"Yes, this soul bone. Sheng'er's talent is worth our full cultivation."
"Clan mother is wise!"
Wang Lixiong, with a slight bow.
Everyone present followed suit, saying, "Clan mother is wise!"
"I just did what I was supposed to do. How can I call myself wise!" Ji Changying appeared modest, but inwardly she sneered.
Things belonging to Ji Changying aren't easy to come by.
This soul bone would only remain in Wang Sheng's hands for a while, and it would return to her hands after a short detour.
Because in her heart, Wang Sheng was already a dead man.
But what surprised her was that this action today actually changed Wang Lixiong's attitude. You know, when the clan leader was away, Wang Lixiong always had objections to her taking power.
She couldn't help but beckoned to Wang Dong'er and said, "Dong'er, come here too!"
Wang Dong'er heard this and although he was also puzzled, he still walked over.
At this time, Ji Changying handed over something again and said with a kind face, "Dong'er, although your talent is not as good as Sheng'er's, it is also extremely rare. This soul bone is for you."
Wang Dong'er was overjoyed. As a member of the family, she naturally understood the value of spirit bones. She had previously envied Wang Sheng, but she hadn't expected to own one herself.
Wang Lixiong was equally delighted, and immediately said, "Thank you, Madam!"
Wang Dong'er's mother immediately pulled Wang Dong'er in, and they all said, "Thank you, Madam, for your consideration of Dong'er. If you need anything from now on, just give us your instructions, and we'll do our utmost to help."
Wang Lixiong frowned at this, as it sounded a bit like taking sides, which wasn't quite right, but he didn't say anything.
Ji Changying naturally observed this, and her smile widened. This was a sign of winning Wang Lixiong over. With careful management, he would definitely be completely on her side.
Furthermore, Wang Dong'er's talent was exceptional; if she bequeathed him to her son, he would undoubtedly be a great asset. Thinking of this, Ji Changying looked at Dong'er with a different look.
"What a deep plot! What a grand gesture! Two spirit bones at once—they're probably the only ones left in the family!"
As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while those on the sidelines can see more clearly.
Wang Sheng, who had been observing everything from a spectator's perspective, immediately saw through Ji Changying, and his unease grew even greater.
Because Ji Changying now showed her immense regard for him, even if something unexpected happened to him later, no one would suspect her.
After all, the preciousness of spirit bones was universally known.
Giving spirit bones to Wang Dong'er was likely intended to win him over, and it also demonstrated her appreciation for the family's genius, further alleviating suspicion.
"Elder Xiong, now that Sheng'er has reached level 20 spirit power, he can immediately obtain two spirit rings. And coincidentally, another member of the clan needs to obtain spirit rings tomorrow. Why don't you lead the two of them on a spirit ring hunt? How about that?"
Ji Changying's expression, completely thoughtful of Wang Sheng, left no room for flaws.
"Okay, I'll definitely find two incredibly powerful spirit rings! Otherwise, it would be unfair to our genius, hahahahaha!" Wang Lixiong, eager to see what kind of spirit skill Wang Sheng would acquire, readily agreed.
"Thank you, mother, and thank you, Elder Xiong!" Wang Sheng replied immediately and docilely.
To be honest, he was also a little impatient. Once he got the spirit ring, not only would he be able to break through his cultivation technique, but he would also be able to obtain a spirit skill spirit ring and refine the spirit bone in his hand.
