Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 10 Star Luo Royal Family
Having made up his mind, Jin Yang pressed a soul-guided communicator on the table.

"General."

An adjutant in a crisp military uniform quickly pushed open the door and entered, bowing respectfully.

Jin Yang handed over the documents in his hand, his tone calm and authoritative:
"Two things. First, all information about this child named Yin Chen is classified as top secret within the legion and is strictly sealed. Before I issue new orders, no specific information about his martial soul and innate soul power shall be disclosed to the outside world."

"Yes!"

The adjutant answered without hesitation.

"second."

Jin Yang continued.

"Send a copy of this intelligence to Xingluo City as quickly as possible through the royal family's exclusive encrypted channel, and present it directly to His Majesty for review."

"My subordinate understands!"

The adjutant took the documents with both hands, his expression stern.

He knew what this meant; this child named Yin Chen had been regarded by the legion commander as an important figure who needed to be directly reported to the emperor.

After the adjutant left, Jin Yang stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the distant, continuous Mingdou Mountain Range.

He has no intention of meeting the child in person, at least not now.

He's just a genius. The Star Luo Empire has a vast territory and is never short of geniuses.

Only those who truly grow and mature become pillars of society.

"Awakened innate martial soul, time attribute, innate full soul power... indeed a good prospect for a titled Douluo."

He muttered to himself, his tone carrying a hint of appreciation, but more so a calm reflection based on reality.

"But to grow into a towering tree, it takes far too many resources and time."

In his view, it was the Legion's duty to provide appropriate compensation and care to such orphans, and the royal family might also give them some extra attention and investment because of their talents.

However, this has little to do with Jin Yang personally or with the core affairs of the Eighth Soul Master Legion.

He only needs to ensure that the child's information is seen by the right people and is within a controllable range, and that he has fulfilled his responsibility.

As for how far Yin Chen's future will ultimately go, that depends on his own destiny and... the will of the Emperor of Xingluo City.

As for the Golden Spear Douluo, I'll just do him a favor for now.

In the depths of the imperial palace in Xingluo City, there is an elegant and tranquil side hall.

The afternoon sun shone through the huge glass windows, casting dappled shadows on the carpet.

Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire was not wearing an elaborate dragon robe, but simply dressed in casual clothes, and was sitting comfortably on a soft sofa by the window.

Opposite him sat a girl with purple hair and purple eyes, who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old. Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were so exquisite that they seemed to be the most perfect masterpiece of heaven. Although she was still young, her elegant and noble temperament was already beginning to take shape, and every frown and smile carried an innate grace.

She is Xu Jiawei's most beloved and trusted younger sister, the princess of the Star Luo Empire—Xu Jiujiu.

By their generation, the Star Crown Martial Soul lineage was sparsely populated, and only the brother and sister had successfully awakened the Star Crown Martial Soul.

Therefore, Xu Jiawei began to keep Xu Jiujiu by his side very early on, carefully teaching her to handle imperial affairs and cultivating her ability to stand on her own.

In his heart, Xu Jiujiu was not only his younger sister, but also an indispensable pillar of the future empire. At this moment, Xu Jiawei was holding the top-secret intelligence about Yin Chen, which had been urgently delivered by the Eighth Soul Master Legion.

He didn't hide it from his sister; instead, he handed her the document and calmly explained the key information.

"Oh? Both parents were martyrs of the Eighth Legion, with a clean background, and under the stimulation of grief, he awakened a martial soul innately, and it was a rare time attribute, with innate full soul power..."

After a long while, her slender fingers gently tapped her chin, and her amethyst eyes sparkled with intelligence and keenness.

“Brother, this is quite a promising talent. General Jin Yang reported him directly to you, which saved a lot of trouble and shows how much he values ​​him.”

Xu Jiawei nodded slightly, looking at his sister's interested expression, and smiled, "What, Jiu Jiu, are you interested in this child?"

"of course."

After a long while, he sat up straight, his face revealing a composure and confidence that seemed somewhat out of place for his age.

"With such talent and a clean background, he is exactly the kind of future pillar that the empire urgently needs to cultivate. If we let him go unchecked, or if other forces take advantage of him, wouldn't that be a loss for us? Your Majesty is busy with many affairs of state. Why don't you leave such a small matter to Jiu Jiu? I will represent the royal family to properly handle our relationship with this young genius and ensure that he is loyal to the empire."

Looking at his younger sister's initiative to volunteer, Xu Jiawei's eyes flashed with a mixture of relief and consideration.

He was indeed very busy with official duties and could not possibly devote too much energy to a genius who had just begun to show his talent and whose future was still uncertain.

Entrusting it to Xu Jiujiu for experience is indeed the most appropriate choice at present.

"Alright, then I'll leave this matter entirely to you."

Xu Jiawei agreed without much hesitation, his tone filled with encouragement and trust.

"If you need any resources or encounter any difficulties, come to me anytime."

His quick agreement had its own deeper meaning.

First, he believed that with his wisdom and skill, he was more than capable of handling a relationship with a six-year-old child, which would be an excellent opportunity for her to practice.

Secondly, even if Jiu Jiu ultimately fails to achieve the expected results, or even botches things up in some aspects, it is not an unacceptable loss for him and the empire. He has his own contingency plans to salvage the situation, and can simply consider it as accumulating experience for his sister.

Even deeper in his heart, there was an even more subtle idea.

If... if things really go wrong with a six-year-old child, that would be even more interesting.

That not only means that we can learn valuable lessons about the complexities of human nature from it, but also that the child named Yin Chen's character, wisdom, and methods are probably far more astonishing than his martial soul talent.

A child who, at only six years old, could cause the dignified Princess Xingluo to suffer losses, likely needs to have his future potential and value reassessed, and is even more worthy of the Empire's efforts to win him over and cultivate.

In any case, he considered this investment a sure thing.

If successful, it will bring the empire a future top powerhouse. Even if the process is somewhat bumpy, it can hone the sister's skills or uncover deeper treasures.

"Killing two birds with one stone, excellent."

Xu Jiawei picked up the cup of tea beside him, took a small sip, and looked deep and thoughtful through the rising steam.

Of course, this is on the premise that Yin Chen is really that outstanding and able to suppress Xu Jiujiu, who has been carefully cultivated by the royal family.

After all, it was all just his imagination. No matter how talented a six-year-old child is, he is still just a child. How could he possibly be as monstrous as he imagined?
