Chapter 7 You can call me Grandpa.
Kong Deming's gaze sharpened slightly as he reached out and took the letter.
Kong Deming possesses a quarter of the royal blood of the Sun Moon Empire, and because of his existence, the Kong family's status has risen accordingly.
However, the Kong family was small, and none of their descendants were worthy of Kong Deming's attention.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Kong family's status will plummet after Kong Deming's death.
Kong Deming now wanted to know what kind of confidence the Shiquan Junior Soul Master Academy had that made them dare to send him a letter directly.
He opened the letter, unfolded the paper, and found that there wasn't much written on it. Kong Deming glanced at it and read it all.
Standing to the side, Xuan Ziwen saw his teacher suddenly stand up. He had been calm and collected before, but now he couldn't even control his soul power.
A powerful aura emanated from Kong Deming and spread outwards, but this aura was fleeting and did not extend beyond the room.
"Teacher? What's wrong?"
Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but ask, "If this letter could elicit such a response from my teacher, then its contents must be extraordinary."
Kong Deming glanced at his disciple and handed him the letter without any hesitation.
After reading the contents of the letter, Xuan Ziwen's eyes flashed with shock: "Teacher, if it really is the Sun Martial Soul, even if it is not your blood relative, it must have royal blood!"
Fang Sheng's letter focused on Kong Ling, because it was her Sun Martial Soul and surname that made him feel that she was related to Kong Deming.
Kong Deming came out from behind the table and said, "These are not the main points."
Xuan Ziwen was taken aback at first, but then seemed to understand what his teacher meant.
Kong Deming continued, "Most importantly, the brother and sister mentioned in the letter are both born with full soul power!"
To evaluate a Soul Master's talent, besides the strength of their Martial Soul, one must look at their innate Soul Power.
Kong Xuan and Kong Ling are both exceptional individuals, one in ten million, in terms of both martial spirit and innate soul power.
As long as the information about the two is true, even if he has no blood relation with Kong Deming, he will not miss these two geniuses.
"I'm going to Shiquan City right now. Ziwen, please inform them that tomorrow's meeting has been canceled."
After saying this, Kong Deming strode outside, eager to see the two young geniuses.
...
Dean's Office, Shiquan Junior Soul Instructor Academy.
A space had been cleared out next to Fang Sheng's desk.
At the very front, near the bookshelf, is a small blackboard, and opposite it are two small tables and chairs.
Kong Xuan and Kong Ling, the brother and sister, were sitting obediently in their chairs, listening attentively to Fang Sheng's lecture.
Fang Sheng didn't explain any cultivation details or knowledge about soul beasts today; instead, he taught the two to read.
Fang Sheng, who was giving a lecture, suddenly stopped. He looked around and his face showed a serious and vigilant expression.
But when his gaze fell to the window, he froze, stunned.
Kong Xuan looked in the direction of Fang Sheng's gaze and could see a figure in the air above the academy through the window!
There was no flying soul tool behind it; it stood completely suspended in mid-air.
Title Douluo!
These four words instantly appeared in Kong Xuan's mind.
On the Douluo Continent, without the aid of a soul tool, only Soul Masters with flying martial souls and Title Douluos can fly.
At this moment, a Title Douluo appeared in mid-air above the Shiquan Primary Soul Master Academy.
Upon seeing the figure outside, Fang Sheng's wariness vanished, replaced by an excited smile, for he had recognized the person.
Just as Fang Sheng was about to go out to greet him, the figure in mid-air outside the window suddenly vanished into thin air!
Then, to his surprise, he suddenly felt a surge of soul power in front of him, and a tall figure appeared out of thin air.
The person was wearing a bright yellow robe and had his hands behind his back. Just standing there, he exuded an invisible pressure. This person was the same one who had been hanging in mid-air outside the window just moments before.
Fang Sheng had heard of some powerful Title Douluos who could control spatial power.
Clearly, the person in front of us just used spatial abilities.
Fang Sheng quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Fang Sheng, Dean of Shiquan Junior Soul Master Academy, greets His Majesty Silver Moon."
That's right, the person who came was none other than Kong Deming, the Silver Moon Douluo and the Hall Master of the Sun Moon Empire's Hall of Worship!
After seeing Fang Sheng's letter, he set off overnight and finally arrived in Shiquan City the next afternoon.
Kong Deming looked at Fang Sheng and asked, "Have you seen me before?"
As the master of the Hall of Offerings, Kong Deming has always kept a low profile. Logically speaking, Fang Sheng, a Soul King level person, should not know him.
Fang Sheng quickly replied, "I had the honor of meeting Your Majesty when I was studying in Mingdu."
Although Fang Sheng is over sixty years old, Kong Deming was already a titled Douluo when he was a teenager.
Kong Deming nodded, then turned his gaze to the side.
Behind the specially made small table, Kong Xuan and Kong Ling, the brother and sister, were also looking up, their eyes meeting Kong Deming's in mid-air.
Kong Deming took a few steps, then surprisingly squatted down in front of the two men, his gaze meeting theirs at eye level.
"Children, release your martial spirits."
While speaking, Kong Deming was also observing the brother and sister opposite him.
Kong Xuan's eyes were clear, and he seemed to possess a composure beyond his years.
Kong Ling appeared somewhat frightened and flustered, glancing at her brother frequently, which is normal for a child of this age.
Although he had never seen the person in front of him, Kong Xuan already had a guess about his identity.
He first glanced at his younger sister beside him, gave her a reassuring look, and nodded and smiled at her.
Kong Xuan immediately extended his left hand, grasping the Sky-Supporting Spear in his grasp. The crystal-like spear shimmered with an incandescent light.
Feeling the sharp aura emanating from the gun, even Kong Deming couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.
Although it was the first time he had seen this kind of gun-type martial spirit, he was already certain that it was definitely a top-tier weapon martial spirit!
Seeing her brother's action, Kong Ling followed suit and stretched out her left hand.
As a small, orange-red sun rose in his hand, the temperature in Fang Sheng's dean's office suddenly increased significantly.
Having witnessed Kong Ling's Sun Martial Soul firsthand, Kong Deming was basically certain of their identities, since the inheritance of a Martial Soul could not be faked.
His expression softened instantly, and he said softly, "Have you never met your parents?"
Kong Ling looked timid and didn't answer the question, only keeping her eyes on her brother.
Kong Xuan reached into his collar and pulled out a blue jade pendant from the red rope around his neck.
"We were picked up from the mountains and brought back to the village by the village chief. We have never seen our parents. This jade pendant is all we have."
Kong Xuan showed the jade pendant to Kong Deming and continued, "Grandpa Village Chief said that the character 'Kong' is written on it, so my sister and I should have the surname Kong."
Upon seeing the jade pendant, Kong Deming was completely certain that the brother and sister in front of him were indeed members of his Kong family!
A hundred years ago, before he became a titled Douluo, the Kong family suffered a great calamity, and many clansmen either died or fled.
The jade plaque that Kong Xuan presented was a family heirloom of the Kong family.
He figured that Kong Xuan and Kong Ling, the brother and sister, must be descendants of the clansmen who had once escaped.
The Kong family suffered a decline in talent after him, but now two geniuses with innate full soul power have emerged. It is truly a blessing from heaven for the Kong family!
Suppressing his excitement, Kong Deming looked at the brother and sister with a hint of affection: "My name is Kong Deming. I am your elder. Although I don't know who your parents are, you can call me Grandpa."
