"Zhu Ziyang, you've really hidden yourself well. We've known each other for five years, haven't we? I had no idea you possessed twin spirits!" Tang Ya said with a smile, as everyone gathered around the bonfire.
"Haha, you can't blame me for that! It's just that no one has ever made me use my second Spirit!" Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but laugh at her words.
Hearing Zhu Ziyang's reply, 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 make you lose Xu Sanshi and me as friends!"
"Exactly, exactly!" Xu Sanshi empathized, nodding his head repeatedly. "It's clearly because you're too monstrous, not because we haven't worked hard enough! One Spirit has already made it difficult for Bei Bei and me to catch up, and you've been hiding a second Spirit, one that even has five 100,000-year spirit rings. This is truly too demoralizing!"
Xu Sanshi didn't know what Bei Bei was thinking, but he had certainly lost the ambition to make Zhu Ziyang his goal. The two of them weren't even on the same level! He might as well honestly just compete with Bei Bei!
"Ziyang, what's the name of your second Spirit?" Bei Bei asked. "It must be a True Dragon Spirit, right? It actually made my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon feel a trace of submission!"
"That's right." Zhu Ziyang nodded and said, "Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon. That's the name of my second Spirit, a type of Royal True Dragon."
"Royal True Dragon!" Bei Bei's eyes lit up with longing upon hearing this. He said, "Isn't that on the same level as the Light Holy Dragon?"
Wang Dong, sitting beside Wang Yan, 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 True Dragon?"
Others with the same question also looked over.
Wang Yan, being watched by everyone, displayed the qualities of a teacher. His expression was calm, and after a moment of thought, he said, "In the dragon legends of the Douluo Continent, the dragon race has nine great Dragon Kings. Each of the nine Dragon Kings controls an elemental ability and is the leader of all dragons. Among them, the direct descendants of the nine great Dragon Kings are called royalty, hence the dragon race also has nine great royal families. The True Dragons of these nine great royal families are called Royal True Dragons. The elemental power and bloodline abilities they control are stronger than those of ordinary True Dragons.
The famous Light Holy Dragon, Dark Sacred Dragon, the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian from the Star Dou Great Forest, and Ziyang's Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon are all Royal True Dragons, also known as top-tier True Dragons.
While Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is also a True Dragon, it is only an ordinary True Dragon."
Wang Yan's knowledge was extensive, and his explanation was basically the common understanding of most dragon Spirit owners on the continent. He spoke eloquently, his gaze occasionally sweeping towards Bei Bei. "However, the potential of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit is still quite good. It is said that it can evolve into a Light Holy Dragon Spirit, or a Heavenly Thunder Sacred Dragon Spirit, both of which are also Royal True Dragons."
"Teacher Wang Yan is right!" Bei Bei couldn't help but look at Wang Yan with new respect and agreed.
"Ziyang, if I'm not mistaken, your Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon Spirit should be Ultimate Ice, right?" Wang Yan looked at Zhu Ziyang and asked.
"Mm!" Zhu Ziyang replied indifferently while eating the roasted meat in his hand.
Huo Yuhao's hand, which was roasting meat, paused. He looked up at Zhu Ziyang, his eyes filled with excitement, like a fan hearing that his hobby was the same as his idol's.
"As expected!" Hearing Zhu Ziyang's confirmation, Wang Yan's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of fanaticism. His tone was filled with excitement and satisfaction as he said, "I am truly too lucky. To be able to see four Ultimate Spirits in my lifetime, I can die without regrets, die without regrets!"
"Four Ultimate Spirits?" Wang Dong counted on his fingers, "Senior Xiao Tao's Fire Phoenix Spirit, Senior Ziyang's Heavenly Frost Sacred White Dragon Spirit, and Yu Hao's Ice Emperor's Heavenly Silkworm Spirit. Aren't there only three?"
"What? Wang Dong, what did you say?" Tang Ya was the first to lose her composure when she heard Wang Dong's count. She opened her mouth wide, looking at Wang Dong in disbelief, and exclaimed, "What Spirit did you say Yu Hao has?"
"The Ice Emperor's Heavenly Silkworm Spirit!" Wang Dong said innocently. He had no idea that his words had successfully exposed the fact that Huo Yuhao possessed twin spirits.
Huo Yuhao, who was diligently roasting meat nearby, couldn't help but roll his eyes at his roommate's somewhat clueless performance. He then immediately picked up a piece of roasted meat, shoved it into Wang Dong's mouth, and said, "Even eating meat can't shut you up, honestly!"
"Ah!" Wang Dong finally realized. Among everyone present, only he, Wang Yan, and Xiao Xiao knew that Huo Yuhao had twin spirits. He had unintentionally exposed Huo Yuhao's twin spirits! He couldn't help but feel a little stunned, then chuckled awkwardly as he looked at Huo Yuhao.
"Yu Hao, you're the one who's truly been hiding your strength! You even kept it from me! Ah, you've gotten quite capable, haven't you!" Tang Ya's face darkened, and she feigned anger as she looked at Huo Yuhao.
"Teacher Xiaoya, I..." Huo Yuhao immediately panicked when faced with Tang Ya's questioning, even forgetting how to explain himself. Tang Ya was truly like an older sister to him.
"Sister Xiaoya, don't blame Yu Hao. Teacher Zhou didn't let Yu Hao tell you!" Wang Dong timely rescued Huo Yuhao, directly shifting the blame to their homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi.
"Alright, I forgive you, student!" Tang Ya, of course, couldn't truly be angry with Huo Yuhao. If anyone was happiest about Huo Yuhao having twin spirits, it would definitely be Tang Ya!
"This means that among the eleven of us, there are actually three individuals with twin spirits? Since when did twin spirits become so common?" Xu Sanshi muttered.
"It seems so!" Bei Bei echoed.
"So, Teacher Wang Yan, what is the fourth Ultimate Spirit you mentioned?" Wang Dong was still fixated on the previous question, asking.
"You really don't know?" Wang Yan's gaze was a bit strange. "Wang Dong, this child usually seems quite smart, but sometimes he appears so slow."
"Ah? Am I supposed to know?" Wang Dong was confused, asking.
"Wang Dong, Senior Ziyang's Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe is an Ultimate Light Spirit!" Huo Yuhao couldn't stand it anymore and told Wang Dong.
"Ah!" Wang Dong's eyes widened in shock upon hearing this. He looked at Zhu Ziyang, who was calmly eating roasted meat, and then looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion, saying, "How did you know? Why didn't I know?"
"I knew because I asked Teacher Xiaoya!" Huo Yuhao explained. "Isn't your Goddess of Light Butterfly Spirit a Light Attribute? I thought you would be able to sense it! I didn't expect you truly wouldn't know!"
"Uh!" Wang Dong finally understood why everyone's gaze was so strange when he asked that question. It turned out he had really made a blunder! Wang Dong's face instantly turned red, and he mumbled, "Because my Goddess of Light Butterfly Spirit also has very high Light Element, so I thought the Goddess of Light Butterfly's stirring was due to unwillingness to submit..."
Wang Dong's words truly stunned everyone, and they all realized how immense his inner arrogance was.
As everyone chatted and became more familiar, Ma Xiaotao finally opened her mouth to ask Wang Yan about the next arrangements.
Wang Yan had clearly done his homework. He calmly replied to Ma Xiaotao's question, "The Soul Master Competition usually lasts for a month, and the first stage of the elimination rounds typically lasts three to five days. This stage is also the most crucial, because once you lose, you've truly lost.
Therefore, I hope that when I arrange the battle plan, Xiao Tao, Ziyang, and Nannan, the three of you can follow my arrangements, as the first stage of the competition consists entirely of team battles!"
"Understood!" 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 a bit uncomfortable taking orders from him. However, she also understood the priorities, so she said, "I'll try my best."
"Thank you for your recognition!" After receiving the agreement of Zhu Ziyang and the other two, Wang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, their three strongest members. If they didn't follow his arrangements, Wang Yan truly didn't know how he would manage the battle arrangements for the next seven days. The strength of the seven members of the preliminary team was ultimately insufficient to shoulder such a heavy responsibility!
After resolving the internal command issue, the team's atmosphere finally completely shed its oppressive feeling and became harmonious. At least, the expressions on everyone's faces were no longer so heavy.
