The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King were truly a match for the Six-Winged Angel. Among the nine Great Dragon Kings, these two mastered ice and fire before falling in the Sunset Forest. This led to the formation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and after Jiang Chen arrived first, the two dragons became his second and third Martial Souls.
Facing each other, it seemed both felt the other's extraordinary nature. Quickly withdrawing their hands, Xue Qinghe resumed a smile and said. "Little brother Jiang Chen is indeed extraordinary."
Jiang Chen smiled and replied. "Brother Xue overpraises me; I cannot live up to it. Your strength is immense, and I admit defeat."
Immediately following, Xue Qinghe pulled a golden token from behind him and handed it to Jiang Chen, saying. "This is my token. In the future, when there is time, we brothers must have a good talk."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and looked at Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo chose to turn away, so Jiang Chen took the token and said. "Thank you, Brother Xue. When there is time, I will certainly pay a visit."
"Then I shall wait for your grand arrival at the palace." After speaking, he returned to his seat.
Jiang Chen put the token away in his robe.
Xue Qinghe looked at Jiang Chen, his heart in turmoil. At that moment just now, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had actually encountered an opponent. On the continent, besides the Clear Sky Hammer, what else could look down upon the Six-Winged Angel?
This Jiang Chen was not simple at all, as could be seen from his speech. These were not words a six-year-old child should say. It could be faintly perceived that his Martial Soul was not simple. It was definitely not the Jade Phosphor Serpent and was completely out of place with the aura on Dugu Bo.
Seeing that the exchange had ended, Emperor Xue Ye said. "It seems Senior Dugu has some matters today; may I ask what they are?"
Dugu Bo smiled and said. "It's nothing major. I just want my grandson to enroll in the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. After all, his sister is also there. If the two are together, they can bond and help each other more."
Emperor Xue Ye laughed and said. "That is no problem at all. I will immediately arrange for your grandson's enrollment and grant him the rank of Viscount, with a fief to be bestowed later."
This was undoubtedly a heavy reward. Emperor Xue Ye held the art of winning people's hearts firmly in his grasp.
Dugu Bo said. "Then I shall thank Your Majesty on behalf of my grandson. Having just arrived at the palace, I haven't quite reacted yet; please do not take offense."
"How could I?" Emperor Xue Ye waved his hand and asked. "I wonder if your grandson's Martial Soul is the Jade Phosphor Serpent?"
"This is my adopted grandson; the situation was critical that day. If not for this child's roar, I certainly couldn't have held out until the Prince arrived. Just yesterday, I awakened his Martial Soul, and he also obtained his first Soul Ring."
As soon as Dugu Bo said this, Emperor Xue Ye was greatly shocked.
He had just awakened his Martial Soul yesterday and obtained a Soul Ring by the afternoon. One must know that when Soul Power is awakened, most people have none; only a very small portion can possess it.
Only those with Soul Power can become Soul Masters, which is undoubtedly the most noble profession on the Douluo Continent.
There was only one possibility: Innate Full Soul Power!
Emperor Xue Ye asked expectantly. "I wonder if your grandson has Innate Full Soul Power?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, my grandson indeed has Innate Full Soul Power." Dugu Bo was undoubtedly satisfied with Jiang Chen; a thousand-year first Soul Ring was simply unprecedented.
There are only about a dozen possessors of Innate Full Soul Power on the continent today, and each one is destined to be extraordinary. Most can become a Titled Douluo in the future, and Jiang Chen was one of them. This left Emperor Xue Ye shocked, and his desire to recruit him grew even stronger.
"I wonder if you could let me see your grandson's Martial Soul?"
Not only was Emperor Xue Ye expectant, but Xue Qinghe, as the Crown Prince, was also full of anticipation. He really wanted to know the source of that power. Since it could rival his Six-Winged Angel, he was certainly a talent; before he grew up, an opportunity must be found to bring him under his command.
"This..."
For a moment, Dugu Bo was at a loss for words.
"Does Senior Dugu have some concerns?" Prince Xue Xing asked in confusion.
Dugu Bo's hesitation naturally had its reasons. A thousand-year first Soul Ring was undoubtedly unique on the continent; revealing it rashly would surely put Jiang Chen in a difficult position.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen said. "Grandpa, let me manifest my Martial Soul. Even if I don't show it now, I will use it when fighting others in the future."
Dugu Bo said solemnly. "Have you thought it through? Once it is leaked, do you know what you will experience?"
Jiang Chen understood the underlying meaning.
It would be nothing more than recruitment from various factions, especially the royal family, where the impact would be even greater. Qian Renxue was right here, and there would definitely be an individual recruitment.
But due to her status, she would surely find a chance to talk to Jiang Chen privately.
"I know. I have no interest in glory or wealth. I only want to roam the world freely as a person of leisure."
Dugu Bo thought for a moment, patted Jiang Chen's shoulder, and said. "Fine then, Grandpa is here for everything."
Jiang Chen nodded with emotion and stepped to the center of the room.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, Jiang Chen slowly raised his right hand. An ancient purple longsword floated in his palm, and around the sword was a purple light ring.
Besides Dugu Bo, the other three were shocked and rose from their seats. Emperor Xue Ye exclaimed. "A thousand-year Soul Ring! A thousand-year first Soul Ring!"
Prince Xue Xing was the same. A thousand-year first Soul Ring was something no one on the continent had been able to achieve; they were witnessing a miracle.
Besides those two, Xue Qinghe had the strongest reaction. Her eyes stared fixedly at the small purple sword in Jiang Chen's hand. That ring was indeed a thousand-year Soul Ring; one must know that even for her, the first ring was only a hundred-year one.
If a Soul Master rashly absorbed a ring beyond their rank, only death awaited them.
But the feeling the small purple sword gave Xue Qinghe was wrong; it wasn't this feeling when she made contact with Jiang Chen. That sensation had been alternatingly cold and hot, like being in an ice cave one moment and a scorching flame the next.
He was definitely hiding something. Xue Qinghe's gaze moved to Jiang Chen's left hand and discovered it was clenched tight. Faintly, the Six-Winged Angel could feel there was something else that hadn't been released—something that even made the Six-Winged Angel tremble.
Was it a Martial Soul?
Xue Qinghe couldn't help but marvel; Dugu Bo had truly picked up a treasure this time.
Twin Martial Souls!
That ancient purple small sword was not at all inferior to the Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword. And the clenched left hand was a God-level Martial Soul not inferior to the Six-Winged Angel. What exactly was it? This piqued Xue Qinghe's curiosity; she really wanted to talk to him privately.
Jiang Chen withdrew his Martial Soul and returned to Dugu Bo's side. The Twin Dragons had almost been exposed; he had to be extremely careful every time he manifested his Martial Soul. Looking at Xue Qinghe opposite him, he likely couldn't hide it from the number one beauty of the Douluo Continent.
At this time, Emperor Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing, who had been immersed in shock, regained their senses, and their eyes grew hot as they looked at Jiang Chen. They could guarantee that within a few decades, another Titled Douluo would appear in the world.
