Chapter 23: A Stormy Era Begins, All Sides Move.
As night fell over Tiandou City, the intelligence networks of the various forces began to operate.
Inside the council hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, soul-guided devices emitted a soft glow.
Yu Yuanzhen sat in the main seat, holding a newly delivered intelligence report in his hand.
The patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, the Douluo known as "Thunder," had a very interesting expression on his face at this moment.
"What did you say? Tianheng fought to a draw with a Grand Soul Master?"
Yu Yuanzhen's voice echoed in the hall, and his incredulous tone put pressure on all the clansmen present.
The clansman responsible for delivering the message swallowed hard: "Reporting to the clan chief, the message is absolutely true."
The boy named Ye Xuanming only had a soul power level of twenty-one, but he possessed a second soul ring of a thousand years and had mastered an extremely rare fusion soul skill.
"The second ring of the millennium?" Yu Yuanzhen suddenly stood up. "How is this possible?"
"Patriarch, this was personally confirmed by the three members of the teaching committee of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."
Yu Yuanzhen paced back and forth in the hall, the shock on his face lingering for a long time.
He knew his grandson's strength all too well. Although Yu Tianheng was young, his powerful Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, combined with the family's inheritance, made him almost unrivaled among his peers.
The fact that a Great Soul Master could fight to a draw with Tian Heng, who was at the Soul Venerable level, completely overturned his understanding.
"What is that kid's martial spirit?"
"Companion Martial Soul: Mutated Blue Silver Grass".
Yu Yuanzhen stopped in his tracks: "A companion martial soul?"
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and Yu Tianheng pushed open the door and entered.
"grandfather."
Yu Tianheng's face was somewhat pale. Although his left shoulder had been healed, some marks were still visible.
"Tianheng, are you alright?" Yu Yuanzhen asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Yu Tianheng shook his head. "Grandpa, that Ye Xuanming is indeed very strong."
Yu Yuanzhen carefully examined his grandson and found that there was no frustration in his eyes, but rather a sparkle of excitement.
Tell me the details.
Yu Tianheng recounted the battle of the day in detail, including Ye Xuanming's Samsara Overlord Spear.
After listening, Yu Yuanzhen fell into deep thought.
"Grandpa, I will win back." Yu Tianheng suddenly spoke up.
Yu Yuanzhen looked at his grandson, who was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, his fighting spirit was even stronger.
"Alright! Tianheng, I believe you." Yu Yuanzhen patted his grandson on the shoulder. "However, that kid named Ye Xuanming is indeed worth paying attention to."
Then, Yu Yuanzhen changed the subject.
"You're all in the Royal Fighting Team now. If possible, try to recruit him."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Meanwhile, inside the council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi was enjoying tea with Jian Daochenxin and Gu Douluo Gurong.
"Feng Zhi, have you heard?" Gu Rong put down his teacup. "The Heaven Dou Royal Academy has produced a prodigy."
"Yes, I just received the message." Ning Fengzhi nodded. "An eight-year-old second-ring Soul Master, the second ring in a thousand years, with an innate Martial Soul."
Sword Dao Chenxin sighed:
"In all my years of life, this is the first time I've ever heard of a companion martial soul."
"It is not a twin martial soul, but it has two martial souls. Although it does not have the advantage of eighteen spirit rings of a twin martial soul, it also does not have the danger of the twin martial souls exploding."
"This is truly a blessing from heaven."
"Indeed rare." Ning Fengzhi's face showed a thoughtful expression. "This young man named Ye Xuanming, who can fight Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to a draw with the strength of a Great Soul Master, has terrifying talent."
Gu Rong laughed heartily: "That kid has also mastered the fusion soul skill of his two martial souls, which is not something an ordinary person can do."
"A fusion soul skill?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up. "Interesting, really interesting."
Sword Dao Chenxin suddenly spoke up: "Feng Zhi, are you up to something?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled without saying a word, and after a long while he finally spoke: "Such a genius, we should naturally try to make contact with him."
"Haha, I knew it!" Gu Rong laughed. "But that kid seems to be getting very close to Dugu Bo's granddaughter and the women from the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia."
"Dugu Bo?" Ning Fengzhi frowned. "How did he get involved with that kid?"
"I heard that the kid saved Dugu Yan, which is why it took him so long to get here," Gu Rong explained.
Ning Fengzhi nodded:
"I see. Then we must be careful. Dugu Bo, that old poisoner, is not someone to be trifled with."
"However, that young man named Ye Xuanming is indeed worth paying attention to. If there is an opportunity, we could invite him to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Tian Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.
Inside the magnificent study, a handsome young man was handling official business.
This person was none other than Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, but in reality, he was Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall, in disguise.
"Your Highness, there is urgent intelligence."
A man in black knelt on the ground and respectfully handed over a piece of intelligence.
Qian Renxue took the intelligence report and read it carefully.
The more I looked at her, the more her brows furrowed, until finally her face was filled with shock.
"Eight years old? Level 21? Second ring of the millennium?"
Qian Renxue placed the intelligence report on the table and fell into deep thought.
She knew all too well what this meant.
Such talent would be considered top-tier even within the Spirit Hall.
"Go and investigate. Find out all the information about this Ye Xuanming carefully."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the man in black left, Qian Renxue sat alone in the study, her mind filled with many thoughts.
Such a genius would be best served by the Spirit Hall.
But if it cannot be subdued, then it can only be destroyed.
Qian Renxue knew very well that a genius of this caliber absolutely could not become an enemy of the Spirit Hall.
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In these ten days, Ye Xuanming fully adapted to life at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Every morning, he would go to the academy with Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.
Ye Lingling always walked quietly on his right, occasionally chatting with him softly about interesting things at the academy.
Dugu Yan was much more lively, often tugging at Ye Xuanming's sleeve and excitedly recounting her various experiences.
Such peaceful days are truly something to cherish.
Once at the academy, Ye Xuanming will spar with the other members of the Royal Fighting Team.
After ten days together, he had become quite familiar with his teammates.
Although the two brothers, Graphite and Millstone, look rugged, they have very straightforward personalities.
Oslo doesn't talk much, but his strength is indeed impressive.
As for Yu Tianheng, he actually came to respect Ye Xuanming even more after that battle.
"Xuanming, let's practice our teamwork today."
Yu Tianheng took the initiative to suggest it.
"OK."
Ye Xuanming nodded.
The group began teamwork training, and Ye Xuanming's Blue Silver Grass played a significant role in the team battle.
It is extremely practical for control, entanglement, and assisting movement.
"Amazing!" Shi Mo gave a thumbs up. "Brother Ye's Blue Silver Grass is simply a team battle artifact."
"Unlike ordinary blue silver grass, which crumbles at the slightest touch."
