50. Bloodline Suppression
When get out of class ended, Ling Bingtian greeted Wang Dayu again, took one last deep look at the thin little boy who was the first to leave his seat in the back row, and then left the school to go to the next class location.
Wang Dayu was left behind in a daze, along with a group of children who looked at him with envy.
Meanwhile, the three Title Douluos who had been chatting in the reception room also finished their conversation.
Judging from the hint of heartache in Yan Shaozhe's smile and the utterly sincere smiles of Ling Yongsheng and his son Ling An, the Ling family undoubtedly gained a considerable advantage.
……
Time quickly passed to the afternoon, and Ling Bingtian, who had finished a full day of classes, felt extremely tired, even with the support of a Soul Master's body.
After walking home and having dinner with my parents, my father took me away, saying that my meditation practice that night was postponed because there were results from Shrek Academy.
Ling Bingtian keenly noticed that after her father said those words, her mother Lingjun's eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes were full of laughter, which puzzled Ling Bingtian.
Amidst her mother's unusual farewell, Ling Bingtian followed her father, Ling An, towards the cultivation room that the Ling family had specially set up.
Along the way, Ling Bingtian felt both excited and nervous, after all, this was the first time he had dealt with a character who had appeared in the original work.
Will they be exactly the same as in the original story, or will they have more unique characteristics? All of this made Ling Bingtian feel somewhat expectant.
On the way to the training room, Ling An quietly told Ling Bingtian about the results of the negotiations that morning.
In the morning's argument, Yan Shaozhe was no match for the two old rogues from the Ling family who had spent years hanging out in the military camp.
Especially since the Ling family members don't even enter Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, Yan Shaozhe doesn't even have the means to restrain the Ling family.
At the request of Ling Yongsheng and Ling An, Yan Shaozhe had no choice but to agree to open Shrek Academy's treasure vault to Ling Bingtian, allowing him to choose two treasures from it.
Furthermore, as long as Ling Bingtian attends Shrek Academy in the future, he will be provided with the cultivation notes left behind by the ultimate Douluo trained by Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy certainly attracts students, but it also craves extremely high-quality students!
Especially for a student like Ling Bingtian who possesses an ultimate martial soul, even if we can't accept him as a member of the academy's direct lineage, it would be good to leave some connection with him.
Finally, Yan Shaozhe also promised to allow the students sent by the Ling family to study at Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Device Academy.
Yan Shaozhe also found this very strange.
According to the intelligence provided by the academy's intelligence system, the Ling family is one of the most traditional noble families in the Heavenly Soul Empire. They should be extremely averse to things like soul tools, especially combat-related ones.
"Could it be that I was really wrong?"
Seeing that even the rigid Ling family had begun to change their thinking and start trying to learn about soul tools, even the stubborn Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel a little wavering.
However, this wavering was quickly replaced by the heartache caused by the promised treasure.
To make the notoriously stingy Ling Yongsheng and his son bleed so much money, it has to be said that they are quite capable.
Of course, it's more likely because of Ling Yongsheng's formidable cultivation level of ninety-eight...
Before long, Ling An led Ling Bingtian to the cultivation room. Without saying anything more, Ling An pushed open the door of the cultivation room and led his son inside.
As his father entered the cultivation room, Ling Bingtian immediately saw Ling Yongsheng chatting and laughing with an old man in white robes. However, a hint of heartache occasionally flashed across the old man's face amidst his smile.
Beside them stood a young woman dressed in a red outfit, almost as tall as herself when she awakened her martial soul. Her fiery red hair was tied into a single ponytail and hung down her back, making her look incredibly capable.
Although the girl pretended to be well-behaved, the excitement flashing in her eyes revealed that her heart was not as calm as her appearance suggested.
Just as Ling An led Ling Bingtian in, a look of astonishment flashed in the girl's eyes, as if she could hardly believe it, but it was quickly replaced by another emotion, an emotion that Ling Bingtian could not understand.
"Father, I've brought Xiaotian with me." After entering the room, Ling An first greeted Ling Yongsheng, and then said to him.
"Okay, okay, come here, Xiao Tian, come here." Ling Yongsheng waved his hand, responded to Ling An, and then beckoned Ling Bingtian to come over.
Ling Bingtian understood and walked over, standing next to Ling Yongsheng. He listened as Ling Yongsheng introduced, "This is Dean Yan of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy. Standing next to him is the older sister you're helping this time, Xiaotian, named Ma Xiaotao."
After Ling Yongsheng finished speaking, Ling Bingcai bowed to the white-robed elder and the red-clad girl, and then said, "Greetings, Dean. Greetings, Sister."
"Hey, hello, Xiao Tian. What a polite child!" Yan Shaozhe's smile was much more normal when he was facing Ling Bingtian.
After all, it's one thing to feel bad about losing a few treasures, but to target a child is just too much.
Ma Xiaotao's captivating eyes also turned to Ling Bingtian, a strange smile playing on her lips, and she replied, "Hello."
Even though it was their first meeting, Ling Yongsheng wasn't one for idle chatter. His childhood experiences had taught him how busy Ling Bingtian would be in the days to come, so he said directly, "Xiao Tian, first release your martial spirit for Dean Yan to see."
Following Ling Yongsheng's instructions, Ling Bingtian unleashed his Ice Crystal Phoenix Martial Soul amidst the expectant gazes of Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao.
The familiar ice armor reappeared, and the mask once again concealed Ling Bingtian's face. A pair of ice crystal wings unfolded, and a strong chill spread out.
After the Ice Crystal Phoenix Martial Soul successfully possessed Ling Bingtian, Yan Shaozhe was fine; he frowned slightly but then relaxed.
Ma Xiaotao's reaction was not so good; she let out a soft moan and took a step back.
Under the powerful suppression of her bloodline, her martial spirit unconsciously possessed her body.
One by one, fiery red feathers quietly appeared, and her already alluring eyes seemed to become even more seductive in an instant. Her body also grew taller, making her already voluptuous figure even more prominent.
A pair of fiery red wings unfolded from her back, but they seemed to be curled up as if they couldn't fully unleash their power, as if they were afraid of something.
Golden-red flames burst forth from her body, resisting the chill emanating from Ling Bingtian.
Three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, floated behind Ma Xiaotao, demonstrating her cultivation as a Soul Master.
This scene, combined with his own feelings, left Yan Shaozhe utterly shocked!
He blurted out his thoughts in disbelief: "Bloodline suppression!"
