Aftermath (4)

Gu Yuena's scolding made Dai Tianling more curious. He had thought that Mrm Xiong and Biji were Anping and Gu Yuena's elders or something.

But the current scene showed otherwise. MR. Xiong and Biji were clearly inferior to Anping and Gu Yuena, which puzzled Dai Tianling about their identities.

He knew that En Ci had said before that Mr. Xiong gave him a dangerous feeling. To make an Ultimate Douluo with a four-word battle armor feel threatened, it meant that Mr. Xiong was either an Ultimate Douluo or close to it.

With such strength, Gu Yuena could scold him into silence. Dai Tianling had no idea what kind of power they belonged to. Even as the Emperor of a empire, he couldn't do what Gu Yuena did to the people in the Royal Enshrinement Hall.

The rest of the conversation was mostly Dai Tianling's subtle and blatant attempts to probe Anping and Gu Yuena's origins.

According to the data, Anping and Gu Yuena were disciples of Leng Yaozhu, the deputy master of the Spirit Pagoda. But it was impossible for Leng Yaozhu to mobilize so many powerful Titled Douluo-level people to act as bodyguards for his disciples, even as the deputy master of the Spirit Pagoda.

Moreover, these people were not ordinary Titled Douluo. They were all extremely high-level Titled Douluo. The most important thing was that Gu Yuena's previous actions showed that they were not from the Spirit Pagoda.

Anping and Gu Yuena avoided talking about anything that involved Mr. Xiong and Biji's origins. They knew that Dai Tianling's standpoint was different from theirs. He was a human being, while they were not.

Anping considered himself a human being, but his body and his relationship with Gu Yuena betrayed him. If their identities were exposed, Dai Tianling would never tolerate them.

Until the end of the banquet, Dai Tianling did not get any useful information from Anping and Gu Yuena. He had no choice but to hand over the rare materials that Anping had asked for.

When they finished the last dessert, Dai Tianling saw Anping and the others stand up to say goodbye. He said to his son and daughter: "Yueyan, Yue'er, you two escort these distinguished guests on behalf of your father."

Anping and Gu Yuena, the two people who had defeated them, gave Dai Yueyan and Dai Yue'er mixed feelings. On one hand, they were ashamed of losing so badly in front of so many people in the Star Luo Empire. On the other hand, they were curious about how Anping and Gu Yuena could achieve such strength at such young ages.

They thought that Anping and Gu Yuena were only fifteen years old, but they had reached the realm of the Sixth Ring Soul Emperor. They couldn't believe it.

They knew that Long Yue had reached the Soul Emperor level when he was less than twenty years old, and he was already the most talented person in their Star Luo Empire. But Anping and Gu Yuena had reached the same level as Long Yue, even though they were several years younger.

Once they left the banquet hall, Dai Yue'er was no longer restrained by Dai Tianling. She approached Gu Yuena and said: "Gu Yuena, I think you are a bit older than me, so can I call you Sister Na?"

Gu Yuena nodded indifferently. She didn't like this quirky little princess of the Star Luo Empire, but she didn't find her annoying either.

Seeing that Gu Yuena agreed, Dai Yue'er became more lively and said: "Sister Na, I think you are about the same age as me, but your level is almost twenty levels higher than mine. Can you tell me how you practice?"

Dai Yueyan was also surprised that his sister would ask such a question. He knew that in the soul master world, a person's cultivation method was usually a secret. Just like the Tang Clan's cultivation method, everyone who joined the Tang Clan had to promise not to teach it to others.

Dai Yue'er directly asked them how they practiced, which was a taboo in the soul master world. Some people with bad tempers might even attack them for that.

But Dai Yueyan was overthinking it. Anping and Gu Yuena didn't get angry. Gu Yuena smiled and said: "We just meditate and practice normally. The reason why we can practice so fast is because we can fuse our martial souls. That's the key."

She didn't have a bad impression of Dai Yue'er, who had provided them with so many rare materials. She didn't want to upset her, so she casually made up an excuse.

Dai Yue'er nodded and said: "Is that so? I wish I could find someone to fuse with my martial soul."

She didn't really believe it, but she didn't press them further. She remembered Dai Tianling's instructions.

She knew that their Monster Academy didn't have any martial soul fusion skills. She had never seen anyone whose cultivation improved so much because of martial soul fusion.

Even the legendary Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao didn't have such a big improvement. She knew from the royal family's records that the spirit fusion skills of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao and Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong had a 100% compatibility rate.

Dai Yue'er asked again: "Can you show me your martial souls? In the previous exchange competition, I only heard you report your soul power level, but not your martial souls."

She was more curious about what their martial souls were.

She knew that in the previous competition, Anping and Gu Yuena had used their martial soul fusion skill right away. Under the colorful light, she couldn't see their martial souls or their soul rings.

She had read the information about Anping and Gu Yuena, and even watched the video of them fighting Tang Wulin and the other five from Shrek Academy. But she still wanted to see their martial souls with her own eyes.

In the video, Anping and Gu Yuena were mostly moving. Only for a short time at the beginning, she could see that Anping's martial soul looked like a book. She couldn't see anything else, like the shape or color of their martial souls.

"There's no problem with that." As she spoke, Gu Yuena released her simulated elementalist martial soul. It was a girl who looked almost exactly like her, except for a pair of nearly transparent silver wings.

The girl was holding a key-shaped staff. Gu Yuena displayed it this way to match their previous martial soul fusion skill.
