Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

After all, in the Douluo Continent, strength is paramount, and Lin Wan's current strength is no less than his.

"Captain." Lin Wan nodded slightly.

Ning Zetian stepped forward with a sincere smile: "Brother Lin Wan, you are truly a hidden talent! A Soul Master at the age of twelve, with a second Soul Ring that has lasted for a thousand years, you make us so-called geniuses feel ashamed. I am Ning Zetian, let's fight side by side from now on, please take care of me!"

His Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needed such a strong person the most, so he had some intention of winning over Lin Wan.

Yan Xin, Huo Lie, and others stepped forward to introduce themselves, their attitudes quite polite, even showing a hint of awe.

In the world of Soul Masters, those who are skilled are valued above all else, and Lin Wan's strength has already earned them basic respect.

Yu Tianqing looked at Lin Wan, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "Lin Wan, although your level and soul rings say a lot, team synergy still needs to be honed in actual combat. How about it, if it's convenient, we can have a spar, and let everyone get familiar with your fighting style?"

Lin Wan understood that this was a necessary procedure, and besides, he also needed to demonstrate his abilities.

Therefore, Lin Wan nodded and said, "Okay, please give me your guidance, Captain."

The atmosphere on the training ground instantly became tense yet expectant.

Yu Tianqing shouted in a low voice: "Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Possess Me!"

Blue dragon scales instantly covered Yu Tianqing's arms, crackling with lightning, and his first spirit ring lit up, "First spirit skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianqing did not underestimate Lin Wan, after all, they were of the same level, so he directly activated his martial spirit and launched the first attack.

Yu Tianqing moved swiftly, unleashing a torrent of lightning power as he charged straight at Lin Wan with incredible speed and overwhelming force.

However, just as his lightning-covered dragon claw was about to touch Lin Wan, Lin Wan's figure flickered slightly like a ghost.

"Second Soul Skill, Phantom Shadow!"

In an instant, five identical Lin Wans appeared in the arena, each with lively eyes and different movements, instantly surrounding Yu Tianxin.

"A clone soul skill?"

Yu Tianqing's attack missed its mark, and he abruptly stopped, his eyes flashing with lightning as he tried to find Lin Wan's true form.

Yu Tianqing was experienced in combat. When he realized he couldn't distinguish which one was Lin Wan's real body, he decisively chose to attack all of Lin Wan's clones.

He roared, "Third Soul Skill, Lightning Net Coverage!"

His third soul skill, Lightning Net Coverage, is an area-of-effect soul skill that can release a network formed by lightning to deal damage over a wide area.

But just as he was gathering his soul power, one of the Lin Wans suddenly approached him silently and lightly touched his arm with her fingertips.

Yu Tianqing sensed the fluctuation of soul power, snorted coldly, and used his dragon-scale arm to block.

He didn't believe any beast spirit could break through the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus's defenses.

However, the instant his arm touched Lin Wan's fingertips...

"First Soul Skill, Mind Control!"

A powerful, irresistible allure, through the touch of his fingertips, instantly seeped into Yu Tianqing's mind.

Yu Tianqing felt a buzzing in his head, his consciousness went blank for a moment, his body stiffened involuntarily, and the third soul skill he was gathering came to an abrupt end, the lightning flashing around his body dimmed instantly.

Although it only lasts for a brief second, it is a fatal flaw in a duel between masters.

The moment he regained consciousness, Lin Wan had already thrown him away.

The entire room fell silent.

Chapter 63 The Banquet

From the moment Yu Tianqing launched his attack to the moment Lin Wan threw him away, the entire process took only a few breaths.

The level 35 Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Venerable Jade Sky Azure was completely suppressed in a single exchange.

Ning Zetian and the others watched in disbelief. They knew that under Yu Tianqing's fierce attack, it would be impossible to counterattack so easily, let alone instantly.

However, they also knew that Lin Wan's indistinguishable clones and unpredictable soul skills were indeed difficult to defend against.

A glint flashed in Ning Zetian's eyes, his heart filled with immense shock, which further strengthened his resolve to befriend Lin Wan.

Yu Tianqing slowly dissipated his soul power, took a deep breath, and looked at the dissipating clone and Lin Wan, who had put away her martial soul. His eyes were complicated, but in the end, they turned into complete admiration.

"Amazing! I'm completely convinced! Lin Wan, having you join our team is our good fortune! From now on, we're all brothers, and we'll work together to bring glory to the academy!"

Yu Tianqing's statement also signifies that the entire team has fully accepted Lin Wan as a new member.

"Thank you for your kind offer. I will need your continued support in the future."

After this exchange, the atmosphere within the team became completely harmonious, and everyone gathered around to enthusiastically discuss the possibilities of tactical cooperation.

A few days later, news of Lin Wan's amazing talent and strength had already spread in a small circle at the top of Tiandou City.

A twelve-year-old Soul Master, possessing unparalleled beauty and the qualifications of a title, is also the cousin of Queen Eva, the most beloved queen of the current emperor... With these factors combined, his value far exceeds that of an ordinary prince or heir of a great noble family.

It was at this time that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, on behalf of the royal family, formally extended an invitation to Lin Wan to welcome this future pillar of the empire.

That night, the banquet hall of Prince Xue Qinghe's residence was brightly lit, filled with elegant attire and graceful figures.

Those invited, besides a few princes and princesses who were on good terms with Xue Qinghe, were the most elite noble scions in Tiandou City.

When Lin Wan entered the hall led by a servant, the previously relaxed and cheerful conversation instantly quieted down.

Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the doorway, filled with curiosity about Eva's genius cousin.

Lin Wan wore a well-tailored moon-white dress tonight, with delicate silver patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, which complemented his silver hair.

His azure eyes appeared even deeper under the dazzling lights. His expression was calm, and his steps were unhurried, as if he had long been accustomed to being the center of attention.

That beauty that transcends gender, combined with the alluring force naturally emanating from the Nine Heavens Fox Martial Soul within him, creates an indescribable and extremely impactful attraction.

"Gulp." Someone swallowed unconsciously.

Several young princesses and noble ladies blushed and stared, forgetting to even wave their fans.

On the main seat, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, once again showed a look of amazement in her eyes, but she concealed it very well and immediately put on a perfect crown prince smile and stood up to greet him.

"Brother Lin Wan, you've finally arrived! We've all been waiting to see the future hope of our Heavenly Dou Academy!"

Qian Renxue's tone was kind yet reserved, perfectly matching her current status as a prince who treated scholars with respect.

Lin Wan stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying, "I am late, Your Highness and everyone have been waiting for me."

"No, no, please take a seat." Xue Qinghe smiled and gestured for him to sit in a seat not far below her, which was undoubtedly a very high honor.

After Lin Wan took his seat, he felt scrutinized from all directions. His gaze swept over the crowd and he also saw the curious looks from several princes and princesses.

The banquet officially began, with fine wines and delicacies being served in a continuous stream. Xue Qinghe was well-mannered and witty, constantly guiding the conversation, ensuring that Lin Wan did not feel neglected while also cleverly involving other guests, gradually warming up the atmosphere.

Several princes and princesses showed great interest in Lin Wan's experiences. When they asked her questions, Lin Wan followed her prepared explanations to patch up her background.

After a few rounds of drinks, Xue Qinghe said with a seemingly casual smile, "With cousin Lin Wan's talent, he will surely be the ace of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament four years from now. At that time, you must bring glory to our Heaven Dou Empire!"

Upon hearing this, everyone echoed his words, and their gazes toward Lin Wan became even more fervent.

Lin Wan raised her wine glass, facing Xue Qinghe and the others, and calmly said, "Lin Wan will do her best to live up to the academy's cultivation and Your Highness's expectations."

The banquet didn't end until late at night.

When Lin Wan left the Crown Prince's residence, she could still feel countless eyes following her.

He knew that after tonight, his reputation in Tiandou City would grow even stronger.

……

Heavenly Dou City Imperial Palace

Inside the greenhouse of the garden, various rare flowers bloom in competition, and the air is filled with a unique fragrance that is both sweet and cool.

Snow White was sitting in a white wicker chair, sipping warm honey tea.

She wore an exquisite white palace dress, her long, dark hair flowing like silk, which made her skin appear even whiter and her red lips even more luscious.

Although she is only six years old, her stunning beauty is already evident, and her calm demeanor makes her seem less like a child.

Eva sat languidly on the sofa opposite her, toying with a magic crystal as clear as obsidian in her hand.

She seemed to casually raise her eyes, her gaze sweeping over a seemingly empty shadow outside the greenhouse, and a very faint smile curved her lips.

"Little Snow White".

Eva put down the crystal, her voice soft and charming, "Have you noticed anything interesting while playing in the garden lately? Or seen any strange people?"

Snow White raised her obsidian-like eyes and looked at Eva, her little face expressionless: "Interesting things? Strange people?"

She thought for a moment and then said, "Besides you, Mother, who appears and disappears suddenly every day, I haven't seen anyone else."

Snow White always maintained a wary distance from Eva. Her experience in the fairy tale world taught her that behind her stepmother's sweet words often lay poison.

Although they cannot directly harm each other after coming into this world, this does not prevent Snow White from treating her with the utmost care.

Eva ignored her sarcasm and chuckled, "Oh? Is that so? But I always feel that there seems to be an uninvited guest who is particularly interested in our little Snow White lately. He always hides in the shadows, secretly watching you, and that gaze... tsk tsk, it's full of the unique kindness and eagerness of an old man."

Snow White frowned slightly: "An old man? A loving one?"

Her azure eyes were filled with disbelief. "Mother, have you concocted some new potion that produces hallucinations?"

Chapter 64 Qian Daoliu Arrives at Tiandou

Snow White is more inclined to believe this is yet another prank or test by Eva.

Since Eva can't do anything to her now, she always plays harmless pranks on her.

"Hehe, just take it as your mother's hallucination."

Eva didn't argue further; some truths are more interesting if Snow White discovers them herself.

Therefore, she changed the subject, "However, speaking of teaching, your soul power foundation is already very solid. It's time to acquire a soul ring and truly become a soul master. His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince care about you very much and have specially found a rare teacher for you."

"teacher?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Snow White's eyes. Her innate full soul power of level 20 was the biggest secret. How could Eva easily let someone else teach her?

"rest assured."

Eva saw through her doubts and smiled, "This teacher is one of us. He knows everything about you, including your amazing level 20 innate soul power. Moreover, he is absolutely trustworthy and will be your strongest support."

Eva's tone carried an indescribable certainty and a hint of subtle amusement.

Snow White paused for a moment, not answering immediately. The idea of ​​Eve being one of her own, someone she trusted completely, was highly questionable.
