Chapter 104: I'm showing my cards!

(PS: I don't understand, what happened in the last chapter? Is Zhang Lexuan kneeling a toxic point? But the introduction says so. Xuan Lao couldn't bear to see Zhang Lexuan kneeling in the Sea God Pavilion for a long time and hurting her heart, so he chose to stay in the Sea God Pavilion.)

"You... you are Nian'an?"

Xu Zong looked at Xu Nian'an lying on the bed, his eyes wide, full of disbelief.

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an's mouth twitched. Good heavens, good heavens, just a moment ago he was swearing to Zhou Yi that he was Xu Nian'an's father, and the next second he couldn't help but start doubting Xu Nian'an's identity.

This is simply... a peerless good father.

"What are you doing here with such fanfare."

Opening his mouth, Xu Nian'an wanted to call Xu Zong, but for a while, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, so he simply didn't call him at all.

Regarding Xu Nian'an's attitude, Xu Zong had long since stopped caring, only thinking that it was because he had been bad to Xu Nian'an before, and Xu Nian'an still had resentment until now.

"As your father, you were injured at Shrek, can't I come to see you?"

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an's mouth twitched again. Can you not emphasize this identity again?

Looking at the great changes in Xu Nian'an, especially his body, looking at the places where Xu Nian'an was bandaged, Xu Zong sat down slowly.

He just watched quietly for a while.

"Nian'an, come back with Fourth Uncle. This Shrek is really not very reliable."

"This was just a soul hunt, the soul hunt for your third soul ring, and such a big loophole appeared. I dare not imagine what will happen next time you go hunting for soul rings."

"Although the Xuanming Sect is not as good as Shrek Academy, your Fourth Uncle still has some strength. You can pick hundred-thousand-year soul beasts at will. Even if it's a hundred-thousand-year one, your Fourth Uncle can stretch this old face and gather enough people to hunt it!"

Seeing Xu Nian'an in this state now, Xu Jianyang couldn't help but speak.

It's just that this opening was to let Xu Nian'an quit Shrek Academy...

Xu Jianyang had suffered quite a bit at Shrek. Of course, he also felt that Shrek was not a good place. Although it had some strength, it didn't pay enough attention to the students. Otherwise, otherwise the previous things wouldn't have happened.

"No, Nian'an cannot quit Shrek Academy!"

At this time, Ma Xiaotao on Xu Nian'an's other side couldn't sit still.

If Xu Nian'an quit Shrek Academy, what would she do? So she stood up immediately.

"Who are you...?" Xu Zong frowned and asked about Ma Xiaotao's identity.

In fact, the moment he entered the door, he saw Ma Xiaotao, but he deliberately ignored her. Not for anything else, just because this time Shrek indeed didn't act very kindly. His son almost died in this soul-hunting operation.

To say Xu Zong had no resentment toward Shrek Academy at all would definitely be a lie, so Xu Zong didn't want to pay attention to Ma Xiaotao.

Because there was no need to think; he knew she was sent by Shrek Academy to understand the situation. To put it nicely, it was understanding; to put it bluntly, it was... surveillance. Xu Nian'an's talent was very, very high, at least surpassing Zhang Lexuan, who was known as the first person in the Inner Court in a thousand years.

Whether it was talent or subsequent cultivation and development.

Now, the only problem bothering them was that Xu Nian'an's background was not clean; he was the Young Sect Master of the Xuanming Sect. What if Shrek cultivated him and Xu Nian'an turned around and took over the Xuanming Sect?

"I am Junior Brother Nian'an's Senior Sister."

After explaining in one sentence, Ma Xiaotao began to continue speaking impatiently.

"Junior Brother Nian'an has very high talent in both martial soul and soul guidance. He broke through multiple levels in a short time and reached level 30 Soul Venerable."

"In one month, he obtained a level 2 Soul Guidance Master badge from Dean Xian of our Soul Guidance Department."

"So... Uncle, Junior Brother Nian'an will get faster growth at Shrek."

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaotao began to explain again.

"Of course, this accident was our fault. We never thought about evading responsibility. From now on, all subsequent core disciple soul-hunting operations will be led by at least two high-level soul masters to avoid accidents happening again."

"Afterward, compensation for Junior Brother Nian'an will also arrive."

Hearing this, Xu Zong looked at Ma Xiaotao for a long time, as if scrutinizing, and finally slowly withdrew his gaze.

"Understood, I will respect my son's opinion."

"We still have some family matters to talk about, so can you go out first?"

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's small hands clenched together instantly. She lowered her head and looked at her toes, struggling. To be honest, she didn't want to leave because she was afraid that an accident would happen and Xu Nian'an would be persuaded back to the Xuanming Sect.

"You go out first."

Just when she was struggling, a hot, large hand held her small hand.

Ma Xiaotao turned her head, and Xu Nian'an smiled at her.

"Long time no see, little guy, didn't expect you to grow so big."

Xu Zong touched Er Gou's dog head. Er Gou had no intention of leaving at all, and its teeth were still rubbing against Xu Nian'an's left hand.

Sniffing the familiar scent on Xu Zong, Er Gou's brain stopped thinking for a short time, and then, the corners of its mouth rose, revealing a gentleman-like smile.

Xu Zong smiled and took out a Mysterious Water Pill worth over ten thousand gold soul coins and threw it into its mouth.

*Awoo, awoo, awoo... ~*

"Let's have a good talk."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an's eyes flashed, knowing that this matter couldn't be hidden.

Within a short month, soul power skyrocketed from level 23 to level 30, and an accident occurred during the soul ring hunt—none of this could be hidden.

"What exactly is going on with your soul power?"

"I understand your mood, but our martial soul's nature is like this."

"Good talent is not the upper limit. Usually, our talent only shows true talent and powerful strength after awakening the bloodline."

"So, I don't want you to do some self-destructive things to improve your soul power just because you couldn't compare to others at the beginning."

Speaking of this, Xu Zong sighed and looked at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

"Who can't give gas on a straight line? Accelerating and overtaking on a curve is the real speed."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an's mouth twitched.

Is this because the Xuanming Sect produces all kinds of pills???

But he also knew that Xu Zong was afraid that he would destroy his foundation for a moment of rapid soul power improvement.

Looking at Xu Zong, the other three Titled Douluos besides the Fourth Elder—to be precise, they didn't belong to his own people.

The Great Elder was the standard main line, a strong supporter of Xu Zong. He should have supported him in the matter of the Xuanming Sect's successor, but because his talent was not as good as Xu Sanshi's before.

Considering the long-term development of the main line, he chose neutrality and would support whoever sat in that position in the future.

The Second and Third Elders were side branches. At the very beginning, they chose Xu Sanshi, who had better talent, and had been carefully cultivating him. Finally, they began to suppress him in order for Xu Sanshi to sit in that position.

Fourth Elder, Xu Jianyang, had been gentle, good at various etiquettes, and respected the old since he was a child. His favorability for Xu Nian'an doubled, he didn't fight or compete, and he yielded to his younger brother.

He was very unhappy with Xu Sanshi, who had to grab everything. In his eyes, family affection was higher than everything.

He belonged to Xu Nian'an's loyal faction.

Unfortunately, he had always been addicted to cultivation, so he missed the most difficult period of Xu Nian'an, otherwise Xu Nian'an wouldn't have been bullied so miserably.

Fifth Elder, Xu Jianzong, level 89 Soul Douluo. Like Xu Jianyang, Xu Jianzong was addicted to cultivation and was not interested in the power struggle within the sect. He was considered one of Xu Zong's loyal supporters.

"Don't worry, everyone here is our own people."

Seeming to sense Xu Nian'an's worry, Xu Zong spoke.

"Since that's the case... I'm showing my cards."

"I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be suppressed and targeted everywhere. I, Xu Nian'an, have twin martial souls!"

"The reason I cultivate so fast is because I am cultivating a second martial soul at the same time. This is the key to my rapid breakthrough to level 30!"

*Screech~*

Following a phoenix cry, a huge black soul ring slowly fell on Xu Nian'an's body.

Instantly, everyone present widened their eyes!

"Twin... twin martial souls!"
