Lets go to my place then, Wang Jinxi suggested . They were now special students and had their own rooms so they didnt need to worry about anyone interrupting them .

Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin entered the dormitory halls, then Mu Xi turned and looked at Ouyang Zixin, asking, Do you know Tang Wulin?

Ouyang Zixin nodded . I guess you could say I know him . I met him one morning when I was out for a jog, and he was just too handsome! I saw him holding your hand earlier . Dont tell me that you and him Hehe .

Mu Xis face blushed red . You have such a dirty mind! Theres nothing between us . She repeatedly denied it and didnt even admit that Tang Wulin was now her fathers disciple .

Ouyang Zixin looked at her and smirked . So theres really nothing, huh? Then why didnt you shake him off when he grabbed you? That didnt seem like our Fiery Queen at all .

Mu Xi said, So annoying . Dont call me Fiery Queen! Lets just go back and rest up . They were not only classmates but also best friends who shared a dorm together .

Zixin, how do you feel about Tang Wulin? Mu Xi curiously asked as they ascended the stairs .

So fine! He may look like the bashful junior brother type, but hes actually super talented . I heard hes in that newly established class zero . Hes also very fast; I cant even outrun him when neither of us are using soul power, Ouyang Zixin exclaimed .

Oh . Mu Xi nodded .

Youre still saying theres nothing between you two? When have you ever shown interest in a boy? The age gap isnt that large either; hes only three or four years younger than you . In any case, no one said that a girl three years older with a golden brick cant go after him!

You still dare Mu Xi pounced on Ouyang Zixin in annoyance, but Ouyang Zixin stepped out of the way with a brilliant smile on her face .

Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi had just arrived at their dormitories .

After closing the door, Wang Jinxi invited Tang Wulin to take a seat . Tang Wulin hadnt been in his room today, and because he didnt have Tang Wulins contact information, he had no choice but to ask Xie Xie, only to discover that he had gone out . Unfortunately, he didnt know when Tang Wulin would return, so he could only wait all the way until now!

Wang Jinxi sat down and lowered his head in silence . It seemed there was something weighing heavily on his mind .

Tang Wulin could guess what Wang Jinxi wanted to talk about, but he didnt dare to take the initiative and ask .

Eventually, Wang Jinxi raised his head and said, Your martial soul seems to suppress mine . I know I shouldnt ask about it, but I still want to know .

Tang Wulin frowned . I shouldnt tell you my secrets .

Wang Jinxi stared at him . Sorry . I know I shouldnt ask, but this matter has been on my mind these past few days, and I havent been able to calm down enough to cultivate at all . This is why I looked for you today . If you wont tell me, then I wont force you . But, I truly want to know the cause of this situation .

My martial soul is the Bone Dragon King, and I understand that its an extremely powerful martial soul . Moreover, its a rarely seen one of the darkness attribute, suitable for both assault and power . If I cultivate to the necessary rank and get a suitable spirit soul in the future, then I might even be able to fly . So far, my soul power has also been rapidly progressing, and I believe Ill certainly become a powerful Soul Master . Because of that, Ive been pouring all my efforts into improving myself . That is, until I met you .

I heard from the teacher that martial souls can subdue one another, but I had never thought that suppression would be this powerful . Your martial soul should be a great deal more powerful than mine since it suppresses my strength by that much . Im beginning to doubt myself, wondering if my cultivation efforts have all been meaningless . Even if I cultivate harder, I wouldnt be able to do anything against your suppression . This is very troubling for me, so I had no choice but to come find you . Well, if youre not willing to talk about it, just forget about it .

He lowered his head bitterly as he spoke .

He was far calmer than his peers, but in the end, he was still only nine years old and was actually quite frail . His steadiness had come from his assiduous cultivation efforts, but after encountering Tang Wulin, his efforts no longer seemed that important . How could his mindset not be affected by such an event?

Its not a martial soul . Tang Wulins words caused Wang Jinxi to stare at him, wide-eyed .

Releasing a gentle sigh, Tang Wulin began to speak . I understand what youre thinking because I was in an even worse place before . At that time, my martial soul had just awakened, and it was the weak Bluesilver Grass . Everyone told me it was a trash martial soul, and if it wasnt for the fact that some soul power was present in my body, I would never have had the chance to become a Soul Master .

Even though I was in the same situation as you, I wasnt discouraged . Instead, I put in even more effort toward cultivation and began learning how to forge in order to earn money to buy a spirit soul . My familys situation wasnt that good, and we had problems with money . In the end, I was able to earn enough money to buy a spirit soul . But then I was told that I only had enough for a random selection spirit soul and even after that, my spirit soul was a defective one . I have no doubt that my despair at that moment was far greater than yours .

Regardless of my circumstances, I still took one step forward after another . The reason I suppressed you wasnt because of my martial soul . After all, how can Bluesilver Grass do that? Its actually my bloodline . Even Im not clear as to what power my bloodline has, but I know it should be related to dragon type soul beasts and is at an extremely high level . You werent able to display your full strength because you were suppressed by my bloodlines power .

Wang Jinxi was earnestly listening to Tang Wulins story and was moved by the despair Tang Wulin experienced . Although his defeat in the Class Promotion Tournament had left him perplexed, it was still a far cry from the trials Tang Wulin had gone through .

Bloodlines power? Wang Jinxis eyes brightened as he went deep into thought .

A trace of hesitation colored Wang Jinxis eyes . Wulin, can you let me feel your bloodlines aura again?

Alright! Tang Wulin cut right to the chase . He raised his right arm and, with a thought, golden scales along with a mighty dragons aura appeared .

Wang Jinxi began to tremble . It was clear to him that Tang Wulins mighty dragon aura was influencing his own martial soul .

A moment later, Wang Jinxis expression changed from one of perplexity to one of shock .

No, no way! The feeling is different from before . Wang Jinxi gaped at Tang Wulin in astonishment .

How is it different? Tang Wulin didnt have a clear understanding of his Golden Dragon King power, so anything Wang Jinxi felt with his Bone Dragon King martial soul would be extremely useful in aiding Tang Wulins cultivation

Previously, I felt my martial soul being suppressed by your dragon aura, so I was unable to exert my true strength . This time, however, your dragon aura seems to be making my soul power flare up . Its like some sort of mysterious power has overcome it . The main point, though, is that I dont feel weakened . Rather, I feel much stronger . Just what is going on?

Hes not being suppressed anymore? Rather, he feels more powerful?

Tang Wulin said, Punch me once then . I want to feel your strength . He raised his right hand, preparing to accept the punch .

Wang Jinxi nodded and quickly threw a punch at Tang Wulin .

Bang! Tang Wulin didnt budge a single inch, but Wang Jinxis entire body shook as he fell backward, onto the sofa .

He stared dully at Tang Wulin . Originally, he had simply been astonished, but now he found it unfathomable!

It changed, it changed!

Tang Wulin asked, What changed? Your punch didnt feel that strong at all! It actually felt kind of weak .

Wang Jinxi stared at him, dumbstruck . As I was preparing to attack you, it felt like my strength was rapidly declining, and when I finally hit you, the feeling was completely different from before .

Tang Wulin was stunned . Hes weakened when he attacks me? Whats going on?

The two of them wore odd expressions before Tang Wulin began to speak . I think we should ask Teacher Wu about this problem . At the very least, its much better than us wildly guessing .

Alright! Wang Jinxi agreed without the slightest hesitation . He feared that if he didnt get to the bottom of this matter, he wouldnt be able to sleep soundly tonight .

The duo quickly got up and headed for Wu Zhangkongs living quarters .

When Wu Zhangkong received them, he was dressed in a loose white robe with his long hair hanging gently over his back . He could be described perfectly with two words right now: pure and cold .
