Dai Yun'er

Anping turned and saw two figures behind him. One was Tang Wulin, and the other was a blond girl who looked about his age. Tang Wulin seemed reluctant, as if the girl had dragged him along.

The girl walked up to Anping and eyed him with disdain. "So you're Anping? You're pretty handsome, but that's all you've got going for you?"

She spoke with a haughty tone. Anping ignored her. He took the lunch box from the stall owner and walked away.

"Hey, wait!" The girl shouted, pointing at his back. She stamped her foot in frustration when Anping didn't stop.

Tang Wulin wanted to talk to Anping, so he followed him and said, "That was Dai Yun'er, the princess of the Star Luo Empire. Don't mind her, she's spoiled."

Anping didn't need Tang Wulin to tell him that. He had guessed that the girl was royalty, and that was why he wanted nothing to do with her.

He shook his head slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. What do you want from me? I heard you've been coming to see me every day."

Tang Wulin nodded and said, "We gave you some clues, remember? Can you tell me what you and Gu Yuena found in Anxi Town?"

Anping understood then. He and Gu Yuena had gone into seclusion after their trip, and the others had assumed they had gained something from Anxi Town.

He shook his head again and said, "Believe it or not, we didn't find anything in Anxi Town. We went into seclusion because my martial soul had some problems. I needed to restore it."

Tang Wulin was about to say more, but Tang San's voice interrupted him in his mind. "He's telling the truth. If you pay attention, you'll notice a faint trace of martial soul power leaking from his body. It's a sign that his martial soul has just stabilized."

Tang Wulin sensed it and realized Tang San was right. He stopped arguing and said, "I see. Sorry for bothering you, then."

He watched Anping leave and wondered. He knew Anping had never fought anyone, except for their match at Sun Moon Academy. How could his martial soul have problems?

Anping and Gu Yuena had avoided any challenges during their sea voyage, thanks to Di Tian and Bi Ji's protection. No one had dared to mess with them.

Tang Wulin had a sudden thought and asked Tang San in his mind, "Old Tang, do you think his martial soul problem has something to do with his cultivation method? I always feel their cultivation speed is too fast. They're already at level 60."

"I don't know Gu Yuena's innate soul power, but I know Anping's. He's not a genius, just slightly above average."

"I reached level 40 because of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and many adventures. If Anping didn't have a special cultivation method, he shouldn't be faster than me, right?"

Tang San replied, "That's possible, but not likely. I didn't sense any potential overdraft or evil soul master influence in him. He probably cultivated step by step, the normal way."

"I can tell you this much: the gap between a god level and a Limit Douluo is as big as the gap between an ordinary soul master and a Limit Douluo. You have to practice step by step, and not look for shortcuts. They may seem powerful now, but with their habit of avoiding fights, I doubt they'll ever reach the Limit Douluo level. You're doing much better than them, comparatively."

Tang Wulin didn't understand why Tang San's consciousness kept insisting that becoming a god was his ultimate goal, but he trusted him. He knew Tang San wouldn't harm him, or he would have died long ago from the Golden Dragon King's seal.

Dai Yun'er tapped Tang Wulin on the shoulder and said, "Tang Wulin, why did you let him go? Didn't you have something to ask him?"

Tang Wulin didn't know how to deal with Dai Yun'er, so he said helplessly, "I already asked him, and there's no point in stopping him. Besides, I can't stop him even if I wanted to."

Dai Yun'er asked curiously, "What? Is this Anping guy that strong? Is he from your Shrek Academy? How come I didn't see him at the welcome banquet?"

Tang Wulin shook his head slightly and said, "No, he's from Sun Moon academy. He was in seclusion at that time. As for how strong he is, he and his partner beat the five of us."

He sounded bitter when he mentioned their defeat. He wasn't the only one who felt that way. Ye Xinglan and the others did too. That's why they had wanted to challenge them again after they had improved on the ship.

Dai Yun'er was shocked to hear that Tang Wulin and his friends had lost to just two people. She knew Shrek Academy well, and she knew that Tang Wulin and his team were the best of their generation.

She had seen Anping, and he was no older than Tang Wulin. How could he and his partner beat five Shrek students? It was unbelievable.

After recovering from her surprise, she asked, "Is it because his partner is older than you?"

It was a reasonable guess. She had competed with Tang Wulin and knew how strong he was. She assumed that Anping's partner was an older and more experienced soul master.

Tang Wulin shook his head again and said, "No, his partner is about our age. I was only at the fourth ring then, and they were both fifth-ring soul kings. I don't know how strong they are now."

Dai Yun'er muttered to herself, "They are really amazing. I wish I could see them fight, but I'm not strong enough. I'll try to get Brother Long Yue to win the Soul Master Competition and challenge them."

Tang Wulin heard her, even though she was talking to herself. He had seen Long Yue too, and he felt the pressure from him.
