Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 196 Wang Dong: I really don't know!

"Zhu Ziyang, you really kept it a secret! We've known each other for five years now, and I had no idea you had twin martial souls!" Tang Ya said with a smile as everyone gathered around the fire.

"Haha, you can't blame me for that, because there's really no one who can make me use my second martial soul!" Zhu Ziyang laughed out loud upon hearing this.

Hearing Zhu Ziyang's answer, Tang Ya couldn't help but roll her eyes, while Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi looked hurt. Bei Bei said, "Ziyang, saying something like that will easily lose you as a friend to me and Xu Sanshi!"

"Exactly!" Xu Sanshi nodded repeatedly, echoing his sentiment. "It's clearly because you're too freakish, not because we didn't try hard enough! One martial soul was already difficult for Bei Bei and me to catch up with, and you've also hidden a second martial soul, plus five 100,000-year soul rings. This is really too much of a blow!"

Xu Sanshi didn't know what Bei Bei was thinking. Anyway, he had no more ambition to take Zhu Ziyang as his goal. The two were not even in the same league. He should just honestly compare himself with Bei Bei!

"Ziyang, what's the name of your second martial soul?" Beibei asked. "It must be a True Dragon martial soul, right? It can even make my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex feel a slight sense of submission!"

"That's right." Zhu Ziyang nodded and said, "Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon, that's the name of my second martial soul, a type of royal true dragon."

"A royal dragon!" Upon hearing this, Beibei's face lit up with longing. "Isn't that on par with the Holy Dragon of Light?"

Sitting next to Wang Yan, Wang Dong listened to their conversation and couldn't help but show a curious and puzzled expression. So he tugged at Wang Yan's sleeve and asked, "Teacher Wang Yan, what is a royal dragon?"

Others with the same question also looked over.

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Yan displayed the qualities expected of a teacher. His expression remained calm, and with a hint of contemplation, he said, "In the legends of the Dragon Clan in Douluo Continent, the Dragon Clan possesses nine Dragon Kings, each wielding an elemental power and serving as the leader of all dragons. The direct descendants of these nine Dragon Kings are known as the Royal Family, hence the Dragon Clan has nine Royal Families. The true dragons of these nine Royal Families are called Royal True Dragons, and their elemental power and bloodline abilities surpass those of ordinary true dragons."

The renowned Holy Dragon of Light, Holy Dragon of Darkness, Di Tian, ​​the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King of the Star Dou Great Forest, and Zi Yang's Heavenly Frost Holy White Dragon are all royal true dragons, and can also be called top-tier true dragons.

While Beibei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is also a true dragon, it is merely an ordinary true dragon.

Wang Yan was very knowledgeable, and his statement was basically the common understanding of the vast majority of dragon spirit owners on the continent. He spoke eloquently, glancing at Bei Bei as he spoke, "However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit has quite good potential. It is said that it can evolve into the Light Holy Dragon spirit or the Heavenly Thunder Holy Dragon spirit, both of which are royal true dragon spirits."

"Teacher Wang Yan is right!" Bei Bei couldn't help but look at Wang Yan in a new light and agreed.

"Ziyang, if I'm not mistaken, your Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon Martial Soul should be Ultimate Ice, right?" Wang Yan said, looking at Zhu Ziyang.

"Hmm!" Zhu Ziyang replied casually, eating the roasted meat in his hand.

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment while grilling the meat, then looked up at Zhu Ziyang with excitement in his eyes, the kind of excitement a fan feels when they hear that their hobby is the same as their idol's.

"Just as I expected!" Hearing Zhu Ziyang's confirmation, a fervent glint appeared in Wang Yan's eyes. His tone was filled with excitement and satisfaction as he said, "I'm so lucky! To witness four ultimate martial souls in my lifetime, I can die without regrets!"

"Four ultimate martial souls?" Wang Dong counted on his fingers, "Senior Sister Xiao Tao's Fire Phoenix martial soul, Senior Brother Zi Yang's Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon martial soul, and Yu Hao's Ice Emperor Heavenly Moth martial soul, isn't that only three?"

"What? Wang Dong, what did you say?" Hearing Wang Dong's detailed explanation, Tang Ya, who was the first to lose her composure, opened her mouth wide, staring at Wang Dong in disbelief, and shouted, "What martial soul did you say Yuhao has?"

"The Ice Emperor Celestial Moth Martial Soul!" Wang Dong said blankly, completely unaware that his words had successfully exposed Huo Yuhao's twin Martial Souls.

Huo Yuhao, who was diligently grilling meat nearby, couldn't help but roll his eyes at his roommate's somewhat dim-witted behavior. He then immediately picked up a piece of grilled meat, stuffed it into Wang Dong's mouth, and said, "Even eating meat can't shut you up, honestly!"

"Ah!" Wang Dong finally realized that among everyone present, only he, Wang Yan, and Xiao Xiao knew that Huo Yuhao had twin martial souls. He had unintentionally revealed Huo Yuhao's twin martial souls. He was a little confused and then looked at Huo Yuhao with an embarrassed smile.

"Yuhao, you're the one who's really hiding your true abilities! You even kept it from me! Ah, you've really grown some skills!" Tang Ya said, feigning anger as she looked at Huo Yuhao with a stern face.

"Teacher Xiaoya, I..." Faced with Tang Ya's questioning, Huo Yuhao panicked and forgot how to explain. In his heart, Tang Ya was truly like an older sister.

"Sister Xiaoya, don't blame Yuhao. It was Teacher Zhou who told Yuhao not to tell you!" Wang Dong promptly came to Huo Yuhao's rescue, directly shifting the blame to their homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi.

"Alright, teacher, I forgive you!" Of course, Tang Ya couldn't really be angry with Huo Yuhao. If you were to ask who would be happiest that Huo Yuhao had twin martial souls, it would definitely be Tang Ya!

"So this means that among the eleven of us, there are actually three with twin martial souls? When did twin martial souls become so worthless?" Xu Sanshi muttered.

"It seems so!" Beibei agreed.

"So, Teacher Wang Yan, what is the fourth type of ultimate martial soul you mentioned?" Wang Dong asked, still pondering the previous question.

"You really don't know?" Wang Yan asked with a strange look in his eyes. Wang Dong, this kid, usually seems quite clever, so why does he sometimes seem so slow-witted?

"Huh? Should I know that?" Wang Dong asked, puzzled.

"Wang Dong, Senior Ziyang's World-Saving Scythe is an Ultimate Light Martial Soul!" Huo Yuhao couldn't stand it anymore and said to Wang Dong.

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's face immediately lit up with shock. He looked at Zhu Ziyang, who was calmly eating his barbecue, and then looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion, saying, "How did you know? Why didn't I know?"

"I asked Teacher Xiaoya!" Huo Yuhao explained, "Isn't your Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul a light attribute? I thought you could sense it! I didn't expect you really didn't know!"

"Uh!" Wang Dong finally understood why everyone's gazes had been so strange when he asked that question. It turned out he had really made a blunder! Wang Dong's face instantly turned bright red, and he stammered, "Because my Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul also has a high Light element, I thought the Light Goddess Butterfly's trembling was because it was unconvinced..."

Wang Dong's words truly shocked everyone, and they all realized just how arrogant this guy was.

As the group became more familiar with each other, Ma Xiaotao finally asked Wang Yan about the next steps.

Wang Yan had clearly done his homework. When asked by Ma Xiaotao, he calmly replied, "The Soul Master Competition usually lasts for a month, and the first stage of the elimination rounds usually lasts for three to five days. This stage is also the most important, because once you lose, you really lose."

Therefore, I hope that when I arrange the battle plan, Xiaotao, Ziyang, and Nannan, the three of you will follow my instructions, since the first stage of the competition is all team competition!

"Okay!" Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Although Ma Xiaotao reluctantly accepted Wang Yan's role as team leader, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable being under his command. However, she understood the priorities and said, "I will do my best."

"Thank you for your approval!" Wang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the consent of Zhu Ziyang and the other two. After all, the three of them were the strongest. If they did not obey his arrangements, Wang Yan really did not know how he would deal with the battle arrangements for the next seven days. The strength of the seven members of the preliminary team was ultimately not enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility!

After resolving the team's command issues, the atmosphere within the team finally dissipated from its oppressive state and became more harmonious; at least the expressions on everyone's faces were no longer so heavy.
