Chapter 17 Tang Ren's Leadership, the Echo of the Goddess of Life!
Under the spotlight, Ye Lingling gently raised her fair, jade-like hand and waved to Tang Ren by the classroom window.
A simple action, yet it was like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples!
The entire corridor, and even all the students in the classroom, gasped in shock!
Their gazes, like iron filings drawn to a magnet, all shifted from Ye Lingling to the blue-haired boy who still retained a touch of childishness.
Envy, jealousy, shock, disbelief... a complex mix of emotions clung to everyone's faces.
That's Ye Lingling!
The goddess of the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Soul Master Academy, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and one of only two owners of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul on this continent!
With her unique and top-tier healing-type martial soul, what terrifying connections and status does her family possess?
That is a top-tier force that even titled Douluo-level powerhouses yearn to befriend!
And now, Ye Lingling, who is usually as aloof as a fairy and distant from everyone, actually took the initiative to find an unknown freshman in the junior department.
In an instant, Tang Ren became the focus of the entire audience.
He could clearly feel the piercing gazes around him. He frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, but mostly puzzled.
He stood up and, amidst the almost burning envy of the crowd, strode out of the classroom and walked towards Ye Lingling.
As the distance closed, that peculiar feeling reappeared.
The soul power within his body seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, and began to ripple uncontrollably, producing a subtle fluctuation.
He felt increasingly puzzled.
He remembered clearly that a similar thing seemed to have happened when he first met Ye Lingling at the academy gate, but he hadn't paid attention to it at the time.
"Hello there."
When Tang Ren stood in front of them, Ye Rou'er, who was standing next to Ye Lingling, spoke first.
Her gaze was gentle yet held an undisguised curiosity as she carefully examined the young boy before her, whose brows revealed a maturity far beyond his years.
"I am Lingling's mother, Ye Rou'er." She smiled gently, her voice full of warmth.
"I apologize for coming today, but there is something very important I would like to ask you about. Would you mind speaking to me privately for a moment?"
Tang Ren was somewhat at a loss. He glanced at Ye Lingling beside him, whose cheeks were slightly flushed and whose eyes were somewhat evasive, and then looked at the elegant lady in front of him. Finally, he nodded and said, "Yes, Madam."
Led by Ye Rou'er, the three of them passed through the noisy crowd and arrived at a secluded dense forest behind the academy.
Here, the trees are lush and green, birds sing and flowers bloom, and the area is isolated from all the disturbances of the outside world.
Only after confirming that no one was around did Ye Rou'er stop, and her expression became much more serious.
She looked at Tang Ren and said bluntly:
"Child, please don't be nervous. We've come here to verify a hypothesis. My daughter, Lingling, experiences a very strong resonance with your martial spirit when she gets close."
"Based on my guess, this is very likely... that the two of you have the potential to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Technique."
"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ren suddenly understood! So that's how it is!
However... his Martial Soul, the Tree of Life, did not exhibit the same throbbing desire to burst forth as Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia.
Could it be... that my martial soul is of such high quality that its reaction to this resonance is more restrained?
Tang Ren shook his head, trying to clear these jumbled thoughts from his mind.
Thinking about it too much is no substitute for trying it yourself!
He raised his head and looked at the aloof girl opposite him, a resolute glint in his eyes.
He extended his small hand and, with a maturity beyond his years, invited Ye Lingling: "Senior Ye, let's give it a try."
Ye Lingling's body trembled slightly. Looking into Tang Ren's clear and firm eyes, her blush deepened.
With a mixture of shyness and anticipation, she slowly extended her right hand.
The moment that fair and delicate hand gently enveloped Tang Ren's small hand, an indescribable and wonderful feeling welled up in both of their hearts at the same time!
Ye Lingling no longer suppressed the martial spirit within her!
"Buzz—"
A dazzlingly beautiful pink begonia quietly bloomed in her palm.
The flower consists of nine petals, with a pure white outer ring and a delicate pink inner ring. The stamens are golden yellow, and the flower is brightly colored and graceful, exuding a refreshing and invigorating vitality.
Two yellow halos, representing the century-old soul rings, quietly encircled this legendary Nine-Heart Begonia.
At the same time, Tang Ren also had a thought and took the initiative to release his martial soul!
"Whoosh!"
A sapling, its leaves glistening with emerald green, as if carved from the purest jade of life, sprouted from the soil in his palm!
Although small, it exudes a powerful vitality that seems to originate from the beginning of time!
And the moment that deep, purple soul ring, representing a thousand years, appeared around the Tree of Life—
"A thousand-year-old spirit ring?!"
Ye Lingling and Ye Rou'er both gasped in surprise!
The mother and daughter both wore expressions of astonishment and disbelief, their eyes looking as if they were looking at a complete monster!
A child who is only six or seven years old has a first spirit ring that is a thousand years old?!
This...this has completely overturned their understanding of the world of Soul Masters!
However, what shocked them even more was yet to come!
As expected, after the appearance of the Tree of Life, Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia seemed to see a king's subject and took the initiative, with a hint of filial piety, to approach the light and shadow of the Tree of Life.
Tang Ren clearly felt a thought similar to "requesting fusion" coming from the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
With a thought, he controlled the Tree of Life and accepted the request.
In an instant, the light and shadow of the two top-tier martial souls collided!
"boom--!!!"
An indescribable, dazzling light erupted from the center of their clasped hands!
The emerald gold and pink light intertwined, swirled, and merged, transforming into a pillar of light that reached the heavens and soared straight into the sky!
The immense life energy swept out like a tsunami, causing the vegetation in the entire dense forest to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Amidst the light, a gigantic and sacred female phantom slowly emerged behind them.
She wore a long emerald green dress, her face blurred, yet she exuded a compassionate and majestic aura befitting an empress, as if she were a goddess who ruled over all life in the world!
Ye Lingling felt her soul power merging with Tang Ren's soul power at an unprecedented speed. She tried to guide this enormous power, but was horrified to find that she had no control over it at all!
That's obviously it's with Tang Ren!
Just then, Tang Ren's childish voice, mixed with a solemnity and sanctity beyond his years, resounded throughout the dense forest:
"The Echo of the Goddess of Life!"
