Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

Watching the heartwarming scene of the brother and sister embracing, a smile couldn't help but flash in Su Chen's golden snake eyes.

Family ties, friendships... it is these emotions that, after the arrival of all races, endowed humankind with boundless courage and strength.

Chu Yunfeng

Age: 19

[Realm Level: Third Tier, First Level]

【Martial Soul One: Undying Black Coffin (SSS Rank)】

[Martial Soul II: Forbidden Codex (SSS Rank)]

[Xu Liyue's cultivation level: Second tier, eighth level → Third tier, first level]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a refund of 4000 Evolution Points!]

Although the effects of the Condensing Essence Pill had worn off, Chu Yunfeng's cultivation level remained at the third rank, first level, representing a significant improvement.

While checking Chu Yunfeng's panel, Su Chen's gaze inadvertently swept over Chu Lingxi, who was standing to the side.

【Chu Lingxi】

Age: 12

[Realm: None]

[Martial Soul: Tree of Life (Unawakened)]

[Qualification: Rare (Blue)]

[Tree of Life (SS-rank): An ancient healing tree that can unleash healing power through martial souls to quickly repair injuries to oneself and others. As the martial soul grows, the healing speed and range will be further enhanced.]

[Investment targets meeting the criteria have been detected]

[Distribute investment funds - Martial Soul Awakening Agent x1]

[Please make an investment, host]

After reading it, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Chen's snake eyes.

He never expected that Chu Yunfeng's sister would also be a potential investment!

In this world, the vast majority of people can only awaken their martial spirit after the age of eighteen.

However, the Martial Soul Awakening Agent distributed by the system can advance the awakening time.

Chu Lingxi's martial soul is not combat-type, so awakening it early will not only avoid the risk of forcing growth, but will also allow her martial soul to grow ahead of time.

Su Chen lowered his snake head, his golden snake eyes fixed on Chu Lingxi:

"Little girl, do you want to be able to help your brother when he needs it?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lingxi peeked out from Chu Yunfeng's arms and immediately nodded her little head: "Yes!"

"Then drink it."

Su Chen used his snake tail to lift the pale green Martial Soul Awakening Agent and gently placed it in front of Chu Lingxi.

"It might be a little bitter, but after drinking it, you'll be able to awaken your martial soul ahead of schedule."

"Really?" Chu Lingxi's big, dark eyes blinked, filled with anticipation.

She felt sorry for her brother and also felt somewhat guilty.

The brother bled a lot trying to save her.

Chu Lingxi didn't want to be unable to do anything.

She wished she could also have power, even if it was just to help her brother in the smallest way.

Chu Lingxi stretched out her little hand, picked up the Martial Soul Awakening Agent, uncorked it, and tilted her head back without hesitation to gulp it down.

"It really tastes awful..."

After finishing the drink, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and stick out her tongue.

Just then, a soft emerald green light slowly shone from Chu Lingxi's chest.

It is formed from a seed the size of a grain of rice, which quickly takes root and sprouts. The tender roots extend in all directions, and the two tender green leaves unfold. In the blink of an eye, it grows into a small sapling the size of a palm.

The sapling emitted a soft glow, which fell upon Chu Yunfeng.

Chu Yunfeng felt a gentle warmth spreading through his body, and the intense fatigue left over from continuously releasing the forbidden spells completely dissipated.

The emerald light continued to expand, enveloping Lin Fan, Xu Liyue, and Kong Bowen.

Lin Fan looked down at his arm and saw that the wound on his arm, which had been cut by the Frost Troll's ice armor, was healing visibly.

"This is... a healing-type martial soul?"

A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Healing-type martial souls are extremely rare and are a very valuable resource.

Even those who possess only a C-grade healing-type martial soul are sought after by countless places who are willing to offer exorbitant salaries and treat them as honored guests.

Moreover, Chu Lingxi's martial soul is clearly far beyond C-level.

If a martial soul can possess such regenerative power, this tiny sapling is probably a martial soul of S rank or higher!

Chu Lingxi successfully awakens her martial soul – the Tree of Life.

[Complete a rare investment]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of 20000 Evolution Points!]

Su Chen narrowed his golden vertical pupils.

He suddenly realized the best use of the Tree of Life.

Currently, the recovery ability of the [Undying Black Coffin] is still limited, and Chu Yunfeng can only release the forbidden spell about five times a day at most.

But what if we add Chu Lingxi's healing abilities from the Tree of Life?

Although Chu Lingxi is too young to go to the battlefield.

But at crucial moments, the combination of the brother and sister will definitely become a vital trump card for the Azure Dragon Academy!

……

The Demon Realm, the Eternal Abyss of Demons.

Nine blood moons hung high in the sky.

This is a forbidden area for demons; only the nine Demon Kings of the Demon Realm are qualified to enter.

Deep within the forbidden zone stands an ancient demon temple.

Inside the hall, eight figures knelt at the foot of the cold steps.

"The Demon King of Eternal Night is dead?"

On the highest throne sat a man with long black hair, handsome features with a touch of effeminacy, and a pair of dark red eyes that flashed with a playful smile.

"I told you long ago that he was a good-for-nothing. He was a coward in the demon race for hundreds of years, and then he died at the hands of a few humans on Earth. It was a death befitting his status."

"but……"

The man tapped his long, pale fingers lightly twice on the armrest of the throne: "That school called Azure Dragon Academy is indeed a bit strange. Send someone to investigate their background."

"Yes," the eight kneeling figures replied in unison.

The long-haired man on the throne curled his lips slightly, a mocking sneer flashing in his eyes: "Humans pride themselves on unity, but they probably never dreamed that there is already a nation that has submitted to the Demon Realm, willingly becoming a puppet of my demon race..."

……

The Land of Cherry Blossoms, Kansai Province.

Amaterasu Martial Arts School.

The school gate was bustling with noise, as reporters from dozens of television stations surrounded the entrance, their cameras and microphones aimed at Takeo Yamada, the principal of Amaterasu Martial Arts School, who was walking out of the school.

"Congratulations to Amaterasu Martial Arts School for winning the championship of this martial arts tournament and becoming the number one martial arts school in Kansai Province! Principal Yamada, what are your plans for the future?"

Takeo Yamada pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and was about to speak when he suddenly lost his focus for a moment.

A barely perceptible glint of dark light flashed deep within his pupils.

But the next second, Takeo Yamada returned to normal, a smile returning to his lips: "Next, I plan to lead the school's best students to Daxia for an exchange match with a martial arts school in Daxia."

After a pause, Takeo Yamada looked directly into the camera and said confidently, "I think it's time to show the world the strength of our Sakura Country Martial Arts School!"
