While tidying his disheveled hair, Xie Xie muttered to himself, "Have they discovered something?"
Wu Changkong paused slightly, his voice low but carrying an undeniable certainty:
"rest assured."
"They can't see anything."
The two walked one after the other, and their figures quickly disappeared at the end of the streets of Donghai City.
The deacon stood at the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, the smile on his face faded slightly, and a hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, the steward straightened his clothes, turned around, and strode through the layers of corridors, heading straight for the main office deep inside the Spirit Transmission Tower branch.
The heavy metal door, engraved with the unique patterns of the Spirit Pagoda, was ajar, not fully closed.
Seated inside was a man dressed in a dark silver-trimmed robe from the Spirit Transmission Tower. His aura was calm and reserved. He was none other than Su Xuan, the person in charge of the branch tower of the Spirit Transmission Tower in Donghai City.
Su Xuan looked up at the steward who had rushed over, his tone flat and indifferent: "Is the matter settled?"
"Reporting to the Tower Master, everything went smoothly."
The steward bowed respectfully, saying, "Young Master Xie has completed the soul guidance and adaptation process smoothly and without any abnormalities."
Su Xuan nodded slightly, his fingertips lightly tapping the table:
"What kind of spirit is that child compatible with?"
The steward replied truthfully, "Reporting to the Tower Master, it is an extremely rare dual-attribute symbiotic soul spirit of light and shadow, a Silverwing Light Scale Dragon with a lifespan of one hundred years, and its compatibility with Young Master Xie's twin martial souls is extremely high."
"The enhancement brought about by the fusion is even comparable to that of some ordinary thousand-year-old souls."
"only……"
He paused, then cautiously added, "That teacher, Wu Changkong, was extremely cautious, personally overseeing the entire process and not allowing any of his subordinates to get close."
"After the reception was completed, the two did not linger and left the Spirit Pagoda directly."
A glint flashed in Su Xuan's eyes, but he didn't ask any further questions, simply saying:
"I see."
"After all, Wu Changkong came from that place. She is extremely meticulous. No one can easily find out what she doesn't want to reveal."
"Just continue to keep an eye on things as planned. There's no need to pry too much, lest you upset the child. After all, our cooperation with the Xie family has only just begun."
"Yes, I understand!" the steward replied hastily, not daring to say anything more.
The main room returned to silence.
Su Xuan gazed at the bustling street scene of Donghai City outside the window, his fingertips slowly stopping their tapping. A hint of helpless exasperation flashed across his eyes, and he muttered to himself:
"Old Xie, you don't take care of kids, but plenty of others do."
As he finished speaking, he leaned back slightly, sitting in the large sandalwood chair, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the rim of the cup.
The aura within the tower was as steady as iron, yet a trace of barely perceptible sadness lingered in his eyes.
"Xie Xie..."
Donghai College, faculty dormitory.
As soon as Wu Changkong entered the dormitory, he raised his hand and set up a barrier to isolate soul power, completely sealing off the entire room to ensure that no energy would leak out.
After doing all this, she turned around to look at Xie Xie.
"Let's begin."
Xie Xie nodded emphatically and sat cross-legged in the center of the bed.
He took a deep breath, and following Wu Changkong's instructions, slowly closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the sea of his spirit.
Wu Changkong stood a step in front of him, his cold gaze fixed on him, his soul power quietly circulating, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
Soon, a faint halo of light and shadow emanated from Xie Xie's body.
The aura did not erupt instantly, but rather rose and fell slowly like the tide, with layers of pale gold and blackish-red alternating on his body, forming a wondrous rhythm.
The light and shadow creatures within him stirred restlessly, opening their respective domains and frantically absorbing the pure energy emanating from the Silverwing Lightscale Dragon.
The Light Child—the soul spirit born from the Light Dragon Blade—was the first to initiate the devouring.
Testimonials
It will be officially released at 12 o'clock tonight, but unfortunately I still didn't advance to the second round because there is another big reader with 2100 followers this time.
If nothing unexpected happens, I, Ake, will also be treated as a speed bump for Douluo fanfiction and kicked away, but this is indeed the best-performing book among my works.
But honestly, I would have stuck with this for a long time.
Even if the book doesn't turn out well financially in the end, I will continue to update it while working my regular job.
Before chapter 30, many readers felt that my writing was no different from the original work. That's because I was laying the groundwork. I don't like stories where the characters are invincible from the very beginning.
Even if I'm cheating, I'll do it in a reasonable way.
For fan fiction authors, the thrill of the story always takes precedence over writing skill.
Unfortunately, I don't like this approach. Even if this book gets less traffic and less revenue, I still hope to write it well.
Just like how we grow from the age of 10 to adulthood at 18, and then gradually enter society, it is a process that requires time and experience.
Nowadays, online novels all aim for a fast pace and lots of exciting moments, otherwise they won't be able to capture readers and traffic.
But for Akko, please allow me to slow down the pace.
Writing novels doesn't earn much, really not much.
Earning over 5000 a month is an income only the big shots can achieve. For someone like Ak, who's just a nobody, earning 1500 a month is already pretty good.
Writing this book really reminded me of when I wrote "Legend of the Dragon King: Striving for a Billion".
Many people say that my previous two books didn't have the same feel as this one. I didn't understand it at the time, but after rereading my "White Moonlight" book, I finally realized that I had missed something.
That was the original intention I completely lost when I was writing the first two books.
Even when I was writing this book, some longtime readers said that the familiar feeling had returned.
Yes.
As it turns out, high school life was just as unpleasant as middle school.
After finishing "Ten Billion", I tried to write other books, but unfortunately, they all ended badly because I just couldn't continue writing them.
I implore everyone not to mock people who actually suffer from depression and anxiety.
Because the entire treatment process is really painful.
Three whole years have passed, and I'm 18 this year now. It's only now that I've barely managed to let go and find a little bit of the mindset I had back then.
Some readers who have read this far might say I'm being dramatic, that I just don't want to write anymore and am making up an excuse. Whatever you say, I accept it, because the fact remains that I cut off the book.
But with this book, I hope you all can truly see my growth.
To be precise—it's about the growth of Ake and Xie Xie.
This time, I would like to ask you all to give me more time so that we can grow up together and slowly move towards the future.
Thank you so much everyone!
Chapter 34 Eight Soul Skills!
A dazzling golden light shone from Xie Xie's dantian, and it was like a huge vortex, frantically tearing and sucking in the light attribute energy inside the Silver Winged Light Scale Dragon's body.
When the light-attribute soul power surged in, it did not cause any rejection. Instead, it was like a dried sponge being filled with water.
The dragon's might, which was still somewhat immature, suddenly revealed a hint of domineering brilliance at this moment.
Shadow Cub was not to be outdone, its deep purple shadow vortex following closely behind, enveloping Xie Xie's back.
Unlike the domineering nature of the Light Child, the Shadow Child's devouring is more restrained and meticulous, like countless tentacles peeling away strands of shadow-attribute energy and integrating it into its own shadow meridians.
The aura of the Shadow Dragon Blade became even deeper, almost merging with the void, yet under the guidance of the Light Child, it maintained a delicate balance.
Wu Changkong stood by the bed, his eyes fixed on Xie Xie's changes.
She could clearly see that the outlines of Xie Xie's original Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade martial souls were undergoing a dramatic reshaping around him.
The two energies of light and shadow are no longer simply coexisting.
Instead, under the catalysis of the soul, they begin to intertwine, rotate, and condense.
Time passed by, second by second.
Xie Xie's body trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but it was not because of pain, but a normal reaction brought about by the rapid consumption of soul power and the transformation of his body.
His muscles were slightly taut, and each breath carried the faint sound of flowing soul power.
Finally, as the last bit of energy was completely absorbed and refined, Xie Xie's second yellow spirit ring, which had lasted for a hundred years, suddenly took shape!
This spirit ring is not an ordinary yellow, but a iridescent color that is an extreme fusion of gilding and warm yellow.
The base color is a warm, jade-like amber yellow, while the outer ring is wrapped with three ever-flowing pure gold prisms, as if it were carefully refined from millions of golden dragon scales.
The surface of the spirit ring was not a static halo, but rather faintly revealed the sharp slashing patterns of the Light Dragon Blade.
Countless tiny golden blade patterns slowly rotated around the ring, as if they would transform into tangible blades of light that would pierce the sky at any moment.
What's most special is that whenever the Light Dragon Blade trembles, this soul ring will light up with a dazzling golden light, and the two auras are completely synchronized and integrated.
At that moment, Xie Xie's aura suddenly surged!
His cultivation level suddenly surged in that instant, settling steadily at level twenty-one.
And this is not the end.
The Silverwing Lightscale Dragon's unique symbiotic properties did not grant Xie Xie only one spirit ring.
As Guangzai and Yingzai delved deeper into the origins of the soul, the second energy pattern began to condense and refine at the edge of the soul ring.
Dark red shadow power surged up from Xie Xie's back, facing the newly formed Light Soul Ring from afar, and another hundred-year Soul Ring slowly solidified at this moment!
This spirit ring is also not of ordinary form.
The base color is also amber yellow, but the outer ring is entwined with three endless black and red flame patterns, a cold and elegant color that is interwoven and dyed with dark red and black.
The aura on the surface of the spirit ring is not static either.
Instead, the cold, eerie slashing patterns of the Shadow Dragon Blade faintly emerged, with countless tiny black and red blade patterns slowly swirling around its body.
Two spirit rings hovered behind Xie Xie, one on the left and one on the right.
The left-side Radiant Soul Ring is gleaming with gold, exuding a sacred and domineering aura.
The shadow soul ring on the right is a deep, dark red, cold and eerie color.
One bright, one dark; one gold, one black and red. They echoed and balanced each other, slowly rotating in mid-air, forming an extremely strange and beautiful scene.
Under the pull of the two spirit rings, the power of light and shadow no longer fights independently, but rather becomes like two giant dragons connected head to tail.
At this moment, even with Wu Changkong's indifferent nature, he was shocked by Xie Xie's rare dual soul rings of light and shadow.
A hundred-year-old soul ring can achieve such a pure attribute compatibility, with two opposing attributes even forming a perfect balance, which is extremely rare in the entire soul master world.
Xie Xie's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly.
His long eyelashes were still covered with undried beads of sweat, and his aura became increasingly calm and profound.
The phantom images of the Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade became increasingly clear behind him.
The golden blades were as sharp as the rising sun, while the black and red blade shadows were as deep as the dark night. The two spirit swords trembled slightly, emitting a clear and deep dragon roar, which resonated with the light of the two spirit rings.
Om-!
A deep, resonant hum suddenly filled the entire room.
