Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Tang Wulin recounted Wang Jinxi's situation, his speculations, and his concerns.

After hearing Tang Wulin's explanation, even Xie Xie fell silent.

It's one thing that Tang Wulin can suppress Wang Jinxi, but after all, the Golden Dragon King is one of the Dragon God's incarnations.

But his Shadow Dragon Blade wasn't even a dragon, and his Time-Space Dragon Martial Soul hadn't awakened. How could his Shadow Dragon Blade have any effect on Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon King?

During the previous battle, Xie Xie always thought that it was the inherent dark attribute of his Shadow Dragon Blade that was stronger and purer than the dark attributes of Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, which was why it brought suppression.

But Tang Wulin told him that the suppressive power of his Shadow Dragon Blade was even stronger than that of Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King?

Wang Jinxi also explained that the suppression he exerted on him was different from that of the Golden Dragon King.

It's not that his bloodline power is stronger than the Golden Dragon King's; rather, it's like a grandfather beating his grandson—they're closer and their professions are more aligned.

This……

Upon hearing Wang Jinxi's words, Xie Xie suddenly felt a sense of absurd possibility.

That's—Shadow Boy!

Chapter 53: Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to One's Origin?

If Tang Wulin brought Wang Jinxi simply the suppression of a superior.

What Xie Xie gave Wang Jinxi was a superior position and absolute restraint at the root.

Xie Xie swallowed hard, his dark green eyes narrowing slightly as he tentatively whispered in his heart, "Yingzai?"

The next second, deep within the soul sea, that small, shadowy figure moved slightly.

A faint, ancient thought traveled along his soul to his mind, and in that instant, it completely confirmed his deepest suspicions—

They share the same origin, but hold a higher status.

My god, the Bone Dragon King is already a top-tier Dark Element Martial Soul, but Shadow Child is even higher than the Bone Dragon King?

Could Shadow Child be the reincarnation of the Dark Dragon King?

If that's really done, wouldn't Guangzai be the reincarnation of the Dragon King of Light?

Tang Wulin watched Xie Xie's face change color rapidly and couldn't help but ask, "Xie Xie, did you... think of something?"

"Sigh..." Xie Xie raised his hand to rub his temples, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

"Alright, Lao Wang, you should first sense Lao Tang's bloodline aura."

"Alright!" Tang Wulin didn't waste any words. He stretched out his right arm and, with his mind activated, golden scales appeared, along with the faint dragon's might.

Wang Jinxi's body trembled violently as he clearly sensed the influence of the dragon's might on his martial soul.

But the next moment, he was completely shocked.

"No, no," Wang Jinxi's voice was full of astonishment and confusion, "It feels completely different from the feeling in the previous competition... My soul power feels like it's boiling!"

“Old Wang,” Xie Xie said crisply, “you punch Tang Wulin.”

"Huh?" Wang Jinxi was stunned, looking completely bewildered.

Tang Wulin instantly understood Xie Xie's intention and nodded gently: "It's alright, just throw a punch and I'll feel your power."

Wang Jinxi took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and threw a punch straight at Tang Wulin.

"boom!"

Tang Wulin stood still, while Wang Jinxi was jolted by a recoil and stumbled back onto the sofa.

His already shocked expression changed drastically again, from blank stare to disbelief.

Before Wang Jinxi could speak, Xie Xie interrupted him, saying:

"Old Wang, don't rush. Try punching me again and feel it carefully. See if you notice any difference."

Wang Jinxi paused for a moment, then nodded again.

This time, he quietly activated the Bone Dragon King Martial Soul within his body. Dark soul power coiled around his fist, carrying a cold and heavy force, and he punched Xie Xie.

He didn't dare use his full strength in this punch, but he still gathered seventy or eighty percent of his soul power, enough to make ordinary soul masters retreat.

But just as his fist was about to land half an inch in front of Xie Xie—

hum!

A barely perceptible tremor in the soul.

Wang Jinxi clearly saw that Xie Xie's left eye turned a deep blood red in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure originating from the deepest part of the soul suddenly descended!

His fist suddenly froze in mid-air, and even the dark soul power he was circulating trembled and slumped uncontrollably.

The next moment, Wang Jinxi was violently thrown back by a gentle yet irresistible force, and he slumped back onto the sofa, his face turning pale instantly.

Xie Xie was also taken aback; he truly hadn't expected Wang Jinxi's reaction to be so extreme.

The power he just experienced was not something he actively activated; it was entirely a thought that spontaneously arose in Yingzai's soul sea and was released through his body. Even he couldn't immediately control it.

He quickly composed himself and calmed the restless Shadow Child. The terrifying blood red in his left eye slowly faded, returning to its clear, dark green color.

Wang Jinxi slumped on the sofa, his chest heaving violently, and a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of his back.

But the look in his eyes as he looked at Xie Xie was filled with lingering fear and deep awe, and even his fingertips were trembling slightly.

It wasn't a difference in strength, but a submission etched into the very root of his martial soul, a hierarchy born from the depths of his bloodline. Even if he exerted all his strength to activate his martial soul, he couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance.

As soon as the thought of resistance arose, he felt his entire soul power was imprisoned, and even his soul was bowing slightly.

Tang Wulin quickly walked to Wang Jinxi's side and reached out to help him up.

In fact, the moment Yingzai's aura was released, his heart was stirred with emotions no less than Wang Jinxi's.

If Wang Jinxi felt fear and humility, then his feelings were of closeness and joy.

A resonance originating from his very bloodline surged intensely within him.

Just now, when he saw the fleeting blood red in Xie Xie's left eye and felt the ancient pressure shrouding the air, he felt not the slightest bit nervous, but rather an indescribable sense of intimacy welled up in his heart.

Tang Wulin clenched his fist, and the blood in his body began to warm up uncontrollably.

There was even a wisp of golden light that seemed to be trying to resonate with Xie Xie's aura in some strange way.

Tang Wulin wanted to share his discovery, but the voice of Old Tang suddenly echoed in his mind, stopping him. He opened his lips, but ultimately didn't utter a single word.

Xie Xie scratched his head, his face still showing lingering astonishment: "That wasn't something I did on my own; it was my spirit shadow that reacted on its own."

Wang Jinxi took a while to catch his breath, his gaze towards Xie Xie shifting repeatedly, before finally uttering a single word in a hoarse voice:

"……father."

Xie Xie: ?

Tang Wulin: ?

Wang Jinxi suddenly realized what he had said and his face turned red.

His lips trembled several times as he tried to explain, but the more anxious he became, the less coherent his words became. He stammered and stumbled, unable to organize his thoughts for a long time.

"No, that's not what I meant, I...I..."

Wang Jinxi was usually quiet and reserved, and faced with this embarrassing situation, he completely lost his composure. He could only wave his hands frantically, trying to clear his name, but the more he explained, the more flustered he became.

The sense of submission etched deep within my martial soul was just too intense.

Because Shadow Child's status was above that of Bone Dragon King, to him it was like an ancestor, so he blurted out in his panic.

Xie Xie's lips twitched slightly. "Sorry, I don't have a penchant for being a cuckold."

He was usually the one who silenced others, but today he was quite shocked by the taciturn Wang Jinxi.

Tang Wulin stood aside, watching Wang Jinxi's embarrassed and helpless appearance, and then looking at Xie Xie's shocked expression.

A hint of a smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes, but he was too embarrassed to laugh out loud, so he could only suppress it, his lips slightly pursed, and his shoulders trembling slightly.

The tense atmosphere in the room instantly dissipated.

Xie Xie glanced at Tang Wulin's sly eyes beside him, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. He quickly reached out and covered Tang Wulin's mouth.

"Sweetie, you can't yell like that, not even when you're joking!"

Damn, it's one thing for Wang Jinxi to shout, but if Tang Wulin shouts, that's unacceptable.

That bastard Tang San is still living in Tang Wulin's divine sea. Given how vengeful Tang San is, if he hears this, will he have any good days left?

Damn, I'll have to throw these two things into a permafrost freeze sooner or later!

The sooner the better!!

Chapter 54 Xie Xie: (Weak, pitiful, helpless)

"Alright, alright, let's stop speculating. We should definitely consult professionals for this kind of thing!"

Xie Xie acted decisively, grabbing the two of them and rushing to Wu Changkong's door in three steps, raising his hand to knock on the door.

The door creaked open.

Today, Wu Changkong was wearing a loose crescent-shaped robe, and her long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.

Her cool gaze swept over the three people huddled together, a hint of surprise flashing across her brow.

After the three finished explaining their purpose and the test results, Wu Changkong didn't hesitate for a moment and uttered only three words:

"Go test it."

The testing process went smoothly, and the moment the data sheet was printed, Wu Changkong glanced at it and made his conclusion:

"As expected, your feeling was right. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie can indeed positively amplify your soul power. Moreover, the enhancement Xie Xie brings you is twice that of Tang Wulin."

Wang Jinxi asked in confusion, "But why was I suppressed instead of boosted during the promotion tournament?"

Wu Changkong shifted his gaze from the report and landed precisely on Wang Jinxi.

Her tone was calm, yet incisive:

"Because of hostility."

"Huh?" Wang Jinxi frowned.

"The explanation is simple," Wu Changkong said slowly, tapping the table lightly with his fingertip.

"According to my speculation, Tang Wulin's incompletely awakened second martial soul, as well as Xie Xie's Shadow Dragon Blade, both carry extremely high-level dragon bloodlines."

"Therefore, it's not just you; all martial souls carrying dragon bloodlines will trigger this suppression effect as long as they harbor hostility towards them or develop a desire to oppose each other."

"on the contrary……"

Wu Changkong paused, his gaze sweeping over the three of them.

"If we let go of hostility and even maintain goodwill and close relationships, this suppression will automatically transform into an amplification at the source level."

Wang Jinxi opened his mouth blankly, his voice slightly trembling:

"So... I can never be his enemy?"

Tang Wulin suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. No wonder you can't attack me."

Xie Xie scratched his head, planning to ask the Time-Space Dragon about the origins of Shadow Boy and Light Boy. This wasn't just a little excessive; it was taking off.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've encountered a situation like yours."

Wu Changkong crossed his arms and said, "Because there are limits to the traditional study of the mutual restraint of martial souls. It is true that a higher-level martial soul can suppress a lower-level martial soul, but there is no record of such an obvious case as yours."

"So, I have a plan that I want to try out."

She suddenly raised her index finger and pointed at Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi, "That means—tonight, the two of you will sleep together."

"Huh? Sleep...sleep together?!" Tang Wulin's face immediately turned red, and then he became a little flustered, his brows furrowing together.
