Dogs wouldn’t go there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back to the Spirit Tower, Na’er learned Zhao Xuanzhen and Leng Yaoju’s identities—she’d stumbled upon the deputy tower master and his disciple; no wonder the plant-type soul beast king had stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once hunted across the Star Dou Great Forest, forced to become fusion material for the Silver Dragon King, now the Spirit Tower provided food, lodging, and soul spirits—power, influence, and wealth; Na’er promptly abandoned her soul beast identity and embraced human life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lesson one: Forget your roots!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ninety-ninth floor was a luxurious penthouse with many rooms; after seeking Zhao Xuanzhen’s consent, Leng Yaoju had Na’er move in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two children were similar in age, both geniuses born with full soul power; Leng Yaoju hoped they would grow up together, with Na’er becoming Zhao Xuanzhen’s right-hand man in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Na’er, you’ll stay next door. Tomorrow morning, your teacher will help you fuse your first soul spirit.” Zhao Xuanzhen reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re so nice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er cheered, spun around, and dashed into the bathroom to wash away the fatigue of the entire night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen sat on the living room sofa, pondering how the plot from his memories had changed—the Silver Dragon King had split prematurely; now that Na’er had joined the Spirit Tower, where was the other half, Gu Yue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aolai City, Donghai City, the Star Dou Great Forest… various possibilities flashed through Zhao Xuanzhen’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Silver Dragon King had split in two, their power was not evenly divided—Na’er possessed only thirty percent of the strength and the companion divine weapon, the Silver Dragon Spear; Gu Yue held fully seventy percent—twice as much as Na’er!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, judging by Na’er’s lively, cheerful demeanor, she clearly hadn’t lost her memories; Gu Yue likely hadn’t either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then trouble arose: compared to Na’er, who was mostly human, Gu Yue—with complete memories and a beast-leaning nature—was far more dangerous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if this Gu Yue finds Tang Wulin? He’ll be blown apart, and they’ll inevitably dig out his Supreme Bone…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen clicked his tongue, then suddenly spotted the brilliance—Tang Wulin had Old Tang guarding him, and that trident wasn’t something to be trifled with—who’d dig whose Supreme Bone was still up for debate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever, it’s none of my business…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao Xuanzhen! Zhao Xuanzhen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear, cheerful voice suddenly cut through his thoughts. Zhao Xuanzhen looked up—Na’er stepped out of the bathroom in slippers, wearing a pure white nightgown, silver hair loosely draped behind her, her pink skin looking as if a light pinch could squeeze out water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loli lovers can go collect two slaps at the village entrance; Zhao Xuanzhen was a true gentleman, utterly unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m hungry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er walked toward Zhao Xuanzhen, a porcelain doll carved and polished, her body exuding the pleasant scent of bath gel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you just eat three jin of chicken drumsticks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not enough—thirty jin would be about right,” Na’er pleaded pitifully, “You promised food and lodging—don’t tell me you’re going back on your word because I eat a lot…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen nearly laughed in anger, shook his head, and pulled out packets of special snacks from a drawer, tossing them to Na’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Na’er, it was like hearing celestial music—those three words were ten thousand times more beautiful than any love confession in the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beef jerky—rip it open, chew chew chew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five-nut pastry—om nom nom, chew chew chew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousand-layer pancake, cilantro flavor—Na’er hesitated for a second, closed her eyes, and swallowed it whole without chewing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the girl looked harmless, she devoured food like a whirlwind—her petite frame was clearly a bottomless pit, her mouth never stopping, Zhao Xuanzhen’s accumulated snacks vanished rapidly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er was clearly a staunch supporter of the “clean plate” campaign—in moments, every scrap of food was gone, as if it had never existed; she gently patted her swollen belly, the warm comfort inside her stomach utterly delightful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings were legendary gourmands, requiring massive intake to accelerate growth; Na’er’s craving and love for food rivaled a female version of Tang Wulin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Tang Wulin’s adoptive parents nearly went bankrupt within three years—raising two dragons was just too hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Tower, as the leading financial powerhouse among the four super factions, had strong say in monetary matters; a little food? A drop in the ocean. A child who eats well is blessed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er, full and satisfied, leaned back on the sofa and chatted cheerfully with Zhao Xuanzhen: “Heavenly Phoenix Elder said your true-body martial soul, Zhenwo, is extremely powerful, but you still need to absorb energy from food to maintain daily bodily consumption.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Zhao Xuanzhen agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I ate it all… what about you now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er suddenly felt embarrassed, deeply reflecting inwardly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about me?” Zhao Xuanzhen blinked, as if it were obvious, “I’ll have a late-night snack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knock came at the door. Zhao Xuanzhen opened it to reveal the twin sisters Bai Haoze and Bai Zhichen, pushing a cart laden with an array of delicacies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er’s eyes turned into little dots—no way, bro!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should’ve said there was a late-night snack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you have any idea how hard I worked to swallow that cilantro thousand-layer pancake?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Haoze arranged the fragrant dishes; Bai Zhichen recited the menu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Golden Supreme Fried Rice, Emerald Cloud Silk Braised Bird’s Nest, Frost-Reflecting Moonlight Starfish, Dome-Molten Lava Gold Soup…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take your time. We’re leaving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodnight, Big White Sister, Little White Sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai sisters departed with the cart, glancing casually at Na’er as they left, secretly wondering how a strange little girl had suddenly moved into Zhao Xuanzhen’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left, Zhao Xuanzhen prepared to indulge—the Bai sisters had brought top-tier cuisine from across the continent, prepared by the Spirit Tower’s master chefs using rare ingredients, brimming with abundant energy, far beyond ordinary food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those silver eyes stared fixedly at Zhao Xuanzhen and the mouthwatering dishes; Na’er’s mouth flooded with saliva, desperately suppressing the urge to pounce and gorge, she struggled to say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You eat— I’m full… slurp!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I ordered two portions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll eat a bit more!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er crawled out from under the covers, half-asleep, a stubborn silver strand of hair sticking up. To celebrate her rebirth, she hadn’t meditated or cultivated last night—she’d enjoyed the comfort of a human bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaah, the world outside the blanket is so cruel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took Na’er two and a half minutes to convince herself to get up; after dressing and opening her door, she found the entire ninety-ninth floor empty—only steaming breakfast remained, and Zhao Xuanzhen had already left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, let’s try human high-tech!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na’er’s palm materialized a device shaped like a phone—the latest soul tool communicator. She found Zhao Xuanzhen’s chat window and sent three messages in rapid succession; Zhao Xuanzhen replied instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na: Zhao Xuanzhen, Zhao Xuanzhen, Zhao Xuanzhen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen: New student, don’t spam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na: Where are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen: Seventy-eighth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Na: I’ll come find you after fusing my soul spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a light tap of the send button, Zhao Xuanzhen put away his soul communicator and stepped into a corridor shimmering with colored light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun and moon hung at different angles in the sky; the air floated with light flakes like peacock feathers, dissolving into tiny star-dust upon touching skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flocks of Qing Luan swept across the heavens, their tails woven from auroras; each wingbeat shed tiny glimmers that solidified midair into rainbow-colored glass pathways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath Zhao Xuanzhen’s feet resembled a mirror—light patterns bloomed like blooming water lilies, filled with liquid rainbow hues, refracting his reflection into seven colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Tower, seventy-eighth floor: Illusion Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Illusion Space constantly emitted mental pressure; Spirit Tower soul masters came here to hone their spiritual strength, and it was also the long-term meditation chamber of a Supreme Douluo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Man Han.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen bowed in deference, his voice echoing far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Illusion Space rippled outward in concentric waves as a tall old man descended from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Illusion Brain Douluo Han Tianyi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninety-eight-level Titled Douluo, martial soul: Brain, the Spirit Tower’s foremost master of spiritual realms, four-character Doukai user, Level Nine Mech Repairer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Tianyi’s face first struck Zhao Xuanzhen as stern and rigid, yet his tone was unexpectedly kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True-body martial souls are rare on the Douluo Continent. I never expected Tianfeng’s disciple to possess such extraordinary talent—to awaken the True Self, a divine martial soul existing only in theory among true-body lineages.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand why Tianfeng asked me to teach you mech repair. Frankly, I couldn’t refuse the temptation of polishing a peerless raw gem. From now on, I will assist you in developing the spiritual brain domain of your True Self martial soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Old Man Han.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Tianyi smiled: “We will achieve mutual greatness. Future histories and brushwork will record your Zhao Xuanzhen’s glorious life—and alongside it, the name of Illusion Brain Douluo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush to begin lessons—I’ll first tell you about our martial soul: the true-body martial soul!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brain is naturally one of the true-body martial souls. Once, all true-body lineages were kin; Han Tianyi naturally felt close to Zhao Xuanzhen, and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As part of the human body, the true-body martial soul is a third category distinct from beast and weapon martial souls. Some soul master scholars believe the true-body martial soul is what humans should truly awaken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I strongly agree. True-body martial souls naturally possess extremely high compatibility with their masters, granting true-body soul masters far superior innate talent. Moreover, high-level true-body martial souls are immensely powerful—like the poison attribute of the two greats of the True-Body Sect a millennium ago, my spiritual attribute, and your yin-yang attribute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Tianyi had reviewed Zhao Xuanzhen’s battle footage from the Ascension Platform and had a basic understanding of his abilities; he continued: “When discussing true-body martial souls, two points are unavoidable. The first is the True-Body Sect I just mentioned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True-Body Sect has been passed down for ten thousand years and once stood in opposition to Shrek Academy, even gaining the upper hand. Unfortunately, during the era of our ancestor Du Busi, it peaked and then declined, gradually fading into obscurity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The current sect leader is my nephew—he’s obsessed with red-class mechs and will never break through the ninety-five-level Supreme Douluo barrier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nephew?” Zhao Xuanzhen’s eyes flickered. “Did you once belong to the True-Body Sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Tianyi nodded: “To this day, I still feel grateful for the True-Body Sect’s cultivation of me. I left the sect for the sake of my cultivation—if I wish to perfect my illusions to the point of indistinguishability from reality, I must encounter real high-level soul beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only the Spirit Tower can fulfill this wish of mine. Later, under the recommendation of Tianfeng’s father, the former deputy tower master, I joined the Spirit Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen’s expression cleared—he could understand Han Tianyi’s path to perfecting illusions, but the other True-Body Sect master, the smiling Douluo Hu Jie, known as “Golden Belly, Silver Rump,” was more abstract—he’d been rejected in love, heartbroken, and left the True-Body Sect to join the Tang Men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the Body Sect, the second crucial point of the Body Martial Soul is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Tianyi’s aura shifted violently; a powerful spiritual surge swept through the illusionary space, and behind his aged body, a silver brain suddenly manifested!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Awakening!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The silver brain vanished as quickly as it appeared. Han Tianyi said: 'Second Awakening is the root cause behind the Body Sect’s dominance over 99 percent of all Martial Souls. It has four tiers: Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'As you see, my Illusion Brain is Silver-tier Second Awakening. For those who have not trained the Sect Master’s secret techniques, Silver-tier is the peak of Second Awakening. Yet, true self is the union of flesh and spirit—I wonder if I can break through this limit.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen’s gaze gradually grew fiery, but the next second, a bucket of cold water drenched him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Tianyi sighed: 'Second Awakening is the Body Sect’s deepest secret. When I left the Body Sect, I swore upon my Brain Martial Soul never to grant Second Awakening to anyone without authorization. Thus, I cannot teach you this technique.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen’s temple twitched—the most important thing was restricted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, after all, it’s the foundation of the Body Sect’s existence. Reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This minor obstacle couldn’t stop Zhao Xuanzhen. Solutions always outnumber problems. If all else fails, he’d follow Tang Wulin’s example—start deep-sea training!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver brain sensed Zhao Xuanzhen’s spiritual fluctuations shift from agitation to calm. Han Tianyi chuckled: 'You adjust quickly. Your temperament is excellent.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Don’t rush. Second Awakening is indeed the source of the Body Sect’s strength, but you’ve just awakened your Martial Soul and already seek Second Awakening—that’s still too shaky.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Don’t aim too high, boy. During your youth, focus on cultivating and building a solid foundation. That matters more than learning any random secret technique.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'According to the Body Sect’s teachings, a Soul Master must reach at least the third soul ring, become physically robust, possess abundant soul power, and stabilize their spirit before attempting Second Awakening—to reduce its danger.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Enough about the Body Martial Soul. Let’s begin the real lesson: mecha repair.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Zhao Xuanzhen, I’ve come to find you!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Tianyi had conjured a classroom via illusion when Xiang Naer burst into the illusionary space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the carefree, happy-go-lucky girl, Zhao Xuanzhen muttered inwardly: 'Master Han, would you mind adding one more student to the mecha repair class?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I don’t mind.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Naer fell silent. Her bright smile vanished. She regretted coming to find Zhao Xuanzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I’m just a passerby!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She failed to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xuanzhen blocked the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you enter, there’s no turning back. Learning is the only way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Naer, automatically reclassified as a mecha repair technician!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2436,"2026-06-20T10:43:43.510Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9b7a91c97ca46fb7edd38ea538f0ef5510d6b43b4de43828de37906cb9baaa95","douluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-chapter-11","douluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-chapter-9",92,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdouluo-the-dragon-king-s-taiji-xuanzhen-cover.jpg"]
