Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Chapter 144 The Golden Age has quietly begun!

All eyes turned to Lei Ze, filled with curiosity about what made this young man so special and why he had been expelled from that powerful family.
The crowd scrutinized Lei Ze several times, only to find that the young man exuded a timid air. Especially when he made eye contact with Wang Xian'er, he would frequently look away. Seeing this, the crowd became even more puzzled. How could such a powerful, reclusive family have raised such a seemingly shy young man?

At this point, Du Busi roughly guessed the reason why the family had temporarily expelled the boy from the family. They probably wanted to temper him and get rid of his timidity, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was the one undertaking this task.

However, in Du Busi's view, this matter would likely be fraught with difficulties. While the young man possessed great talent, his personality was truly hard to describe.

As the saying goes, "It is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature." No matter how one's appearance changes, one's personality is extremely difficult to change.

Why would the old woman Wang Xian'er be interested in this young man? Du Busi was also very curious about this.

Seeing that the boy in front of her did not dare to meet her gaze, Wang Xian'er smiled kindly and asked softly, "Little friend, what is your name?"

However, this time Lei Ze chose to remain silent. He was extremely nervous, as it was the first time in his life that so many people had been watching him, making him feel very uncomfortable and uneasy.

Ning Zhifeng seemed to notice that Lei Ze's body was trembling slightly. He instantly understood why the Holy Lord had instructed them to change Lei Ze's personality. Given his current state, changing him would probably not be so easy.

He hurriedly walked up to Lei Ze and respectfully said to Wang Xian'er, "Senior Physician, this child is named Lei Ze. He has always had this personality since he was a child in the family. The Holy Lord instructed us to train him well, otherwise, with his personality, he might harm himself in the future. Please don't take it to heart, Senior."

"family?"

Although Wang Xian'er was quite interested in Lei Ze's physique and aura, she couldn't help but ask in confusion when she heard Ning Zhifeng mention the family and the Holy Lord: "Isn't the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School a sect? When did it start talking about families?"

Hearing these questions, Ning Zhifeng smiled gently and explained, "A few days ago, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family suppressed my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, so we chose to join the family of Young Master Lei Ze."

Before Wang Xian'er could ask any more questions, Ning Zhifeng continued to explain: "Young Master Lei Ze, you may not know this family, but Jin Tianming of the Sun Moon Team and Mo Yan of Shrek Academy in the previous Soul Master Competition both came from this family."

"What???"

Wang Xian'er's eyes widened. She first glanced at Ning Zhifeng, then her gaze fell on Lei Ze. At this moment, Lei Ze lowered his head so much that he didn't dare to look her in the eye. This seemingly weak boy who dared not meet her gaze actually came from that mysterious hidden family, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had even joined that family!
This is incredible news!
No wonder the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School took advantage of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family's misfortune today; it turns out the two sides had a falling out.

“But his personality is probably a bit…” Wang Xian’er slowly came back to her senses, withdrew her gaze, and looked at Ning Zhifeng, as if seeking an answer.

A family like this shouldn't have produced such a weak-willed boy.

"Senior Physician, it is really inconvenient for me to reveal this; it is a family secret."

Ning Zhifeng said with a helpless expression.

"Alright." Wang Xian'er felt quite helpless. She never expected that such a behemoth as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would be intercepted by that family that was about to emerge.

Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo once analyzed the upcoming situation on the mainland. That reclusive family was probably preparing to emerge. Sending out those young talents was probably just to scout ahead and understand the current situation on the mainland.

The significance of now taking over the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is truly difficult to fathom.
Although the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School took advantage of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family's misfortune, their actions weren't particularly ruthless, which was quite strange. Wang Xian'er thought to herself that she had to return to Star Luo and report this matter to Xu Jiawei.

But then she thought that she would have to take care of Tianwu and Emperor Tianhun's health for the next month, so she had to suppress her anxiety and decided to write a letter back to Xingluo later.

"Hoo~" Wang Xian'er exhaled, looking at Lei Ze with gentle eyes, and said in a comforting tone, "Young Lei Ze, if you have any problems, you can come to me. I am, after all, the number one healing-type Soul Master on the continent. Perhaps I can solve your condition." Wang Xian'er thought that it would be good to make friends with the young man of this family, at least it could bring some useful information to Xing Luo.

However, Lei Ze still ignored Wang Xian'er this time. To be precise, he did not want to have much contact with this person with whom he had no prior dealings, for fear of getting into unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that Lei Ze was ignoring her again, Wang Xian'er thought to herself, "This kid is quite wary."

"Thank you for your concern, Immortal Doctor Douluo. This child is just like that, please don't mind him." Ning Zhifeng quickly stepped in to smooth things over, afraid of offending the number one healing-type Soul Master in front of him.

Although I now have strong backing, I cannot recklessly offend people.

Seeing that Ning Zhifeng had given her a way out, Wang Xian'er accepted it, nodded, and then nodded to Vina and Du Busi before turning and walking toward the room Vina had arranged for her.

She was going to write a letter to the Star Luo Emperor, reporting to him about her encounter with Lei Ze and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School that day.

"Your Highness, we shall take our leave now."

Ning Zhifeng spoke to Princess Vina, then left the palace with Chen Ming and Lei Ze.

Vina stared at Razer's retreating figure with a complicated expression. Just now, she had used her extraordinary mental power to sense something, and what she had sensed almost scared her to death.

She only sensed it for a moment, but it felt as if she were being stared at by a pair of icy eyes. In that single second, her soul felt as if it were about to be annihilated by that gaze. If it weren't for her relatively strong mental fortitude, which allowed her to break free in time, she would probably have become an idiot by now.

Is it possible that Razer is too lazy to bother with you?
"What kind of monsters are in this family?" Vina couldn't help but complain in her heart. First, the Sun Moon Team's four-ring Soul Master defeated the seven-ring Soul Saint, then Shrek Academy's Ultimate Fire clashed with the Sun Moon Team's Ultimate Gold, and now the Ultimate Lightning has appeared.

Although this young man is a bit weak-willed, his talent is undeniable, and who would dare say he isn't strong?

At this moment, Vina felt that awakening twin martial souls was nothing special; compared to ultimate martial souls, it was nothing at all.

Poison Immortal noticed that Vina's emotions were a little strange, but he did not say anything to comfort her. He knew that suffering setbacks was something that every Soul Master had to go through on the road to growth, otherwise it would be difficult to truly grow.

Late night
In the Star Luo Empire's palace, Xu Jiawei, who was working diligently, suddenly received a letter from Wang Xian'er. He hurriedly opened it, partly worried about whether the Immortal Physician had encountered any trouble, and partly wanting to know the current situation of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

After reading the letter, Xu Jiawei frowned and looked extremely grim. He didn't see the news he expected, but instead saw something that shocked him greatly—another person with an ultimate martial soul had appeared, and from that reclusive family no less.

However, the good news is that this ultimate martial soul possessor has a somewhat weak personality, unlike the two from the Sun Moon Team and Shrek Academy. But this is not entirely a good thing. This family is probably really sending out the younger generation to explore the path and prepare for their emergence into the world!
"Ah~"

Xu Jiawei sighed, feeling utterly exhausted.

The Sun Moon Empire and the White Tiger Duke were already enough of a headache for him, but now a hidden family has emerged, and the Heavenly Soul Empire has formed an alliance with the Body Sect. Each and every one of these matters is no small thing!
He burned the letter over the oil lamp and sighed, "This era is truly a golden age, with three people possessing ultimate martial souls appearing in succession. Will there be more in the future?"

"Is this era about to go berserk?" Xu Jiawei got up and walked to the window, staring at the moon in the sky. He gazed at the night sky, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. If the Star Luo Empire did not accelerate its research and development of soul tools, it would probably be crushed by the wheels of time.
