A gigantic turtle emerged in front of the few people.
The shell of the giant turtle was pitch-black and shiny, with intricate patterns emitting a mysterious aura, while the Black Snake wrapped around the turtle was also pulsating with light.
Chen Yuan gasped in surprise.
Compared to just over a month ago, Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul had undergone a noticeable change.
Over a month ago, there were no such patterns on the giant turtle’s shell, and the shell was dim and lackluster, with the Black Snake being very small, but now, the giant turtle’s shell was shiny and black, and the Black Snake had grown significantly.
The black scales of the Black Snake were even flickering with a chilling brilliance.
Yang Chao had also not expected his son’s Martial Soul to have changed so much, and was stunned.
The initially furious Cheng Beibei couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Although Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul was indeed a giant turtle, it was very different from the ordinary Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.
At least, a Level Two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul did not possess such a presence.
She looked questioningly at her master, Chen Yuan.
But Chen Yuan didn’t look at her at all, instead, he leaned closer to Yang Xiaotian, intently staring at Yang Xiaotian’s Black Tortoise Martial Soul as if he was afraid he couldn’t see clearly.
The more Chen Yuan looked, the more astonished and doubtful he became.
He could determine that the Martial Soul of the giant turtle before him was definitely not a Level Two Martial Soul.
It’s just that he couldn’t identify what exactly the Martial Soul was, because he had never seen a Giant Tortoise Martial Soul that could change.
Chen Yuan was so absorbed in observing Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul that it took several calls from Cheng Beibei to bring him back to reality.
Seeing both Yang Chao and Cheng Beibei looking at him with inquiring eyes, Chen Yuan cleared his throat and said, “I cannot yet determine exactly what Xiaotian’s Martial Soul is.”
Yang Chao and Cheng Beibei were left speechless.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yuan said to Yang Chao, “How about this, Dean Lin is more advanced than me in the study of Martial Souls. Tomorrow, I would like to take Xiaotian back with me, so Dean Lin can reassess Xiaotian’s Martial Soul.”
“If Xiaotian’s Martial Soul really is extraordinary, I will recommend him for entry into Divine Sword Academy.”
The Dean Lin he mentioned was none other than the Dean of Divine Sword Academy, Lin Yong.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chao was ecstatic, “Thank you so much, Lord Chen Yuan!”
The Divine Sword Academy was the best academy in Divine Sea Country.
What father wouldn’t want his son to enter Divine Sword Academy?
Yang Xiaotian was about to refuse, but seeing the ecstatic joy on his father’s face, he found himself unable to speak the words he had prepared.
At this moment, Yang Zhong, who had been knocked unconscious by Yang Xiaotian the day before, had fully awakened. He threw things around the yard in rage, roaring, “Yang Xiaotian is just a Level Two Martial Soul, how could I possibly lose to him!”
Yang Hai’s brows furrowed as he said, “It must be that Yang Chao embezzled clan funds to buy a large amount of Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid for his cultivation.”
“However, Yang Xiaotian is just a Level Two Martial Soul, no matter how much Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid he consumes, he can’t break through to Innate.”
“You, with a top-tier Level Ten Green Phoenix Martial Soul, will be nurtured by Lord Chen Yuan and Divine Sword Academy, surely breaking through to Innate within a few years.”
“Once you’ve broken through to Innate, you could crush him to death with just one finger.”
Yang Zhong spoke bitterly, “Father is right, once I’ve broken through to Innate, I will be able to crush him to death with just one finger.”
“Within five years, no, three years, I will definitely break through to Innate, and I’ll show Yang Xiaotian the true gap between us!”
At that time, a guard from Yang Family Manor came in to report, saying that Chen Yuan had summoned Yang Chao and Yang Xiaotian.
When he learned that Chen Yuan had summoned Yang Xiaotian but was refusing to take him on as a disciple, Yang Zhong sneered, “My master would, of course, never take on a Level Two Martial Soul as his disciple.”
“`

“However, Lord Chen Yuan took another look at Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul and even said he wants to take Yang Xiaotian back to Divine Sword Academy for Dean Lin to reassess,” stated the Yang Family Manor guard.
“Reassess?” Yang Hai and Yang Zhong were surprised.
“Yes, and Lord Chen Yuan mentioned, if Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul is extraordinary, he will recommend him to the Divine Sword Academy,” the guard continued.
“What, recommend him to the Divine Sword Academy!” Yang Zhong was extremely angry. “Is that really what Master said?”
Yang Hai, on the other hand, remained composed, “Don’t worry, Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul is a Giant Tortoise, a fact witnessed by everyone, absolutely certain. Even if it’s reassessed a hundred times, it will still be the Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.”
He then said confidently, “Dean Lin would never allow a student with a Giant Tortoise Martial Soul to join Divine Sword Academy!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhong calmed down and laughed, “Father is right, with a Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, he wouldn’t even be accepted into the lowest ranking academy, let alone the Divine Sword Academy.”
Half an hour later, Yang Chao and Yang Xiaotian returned to their new house in Xingyue City.
Yang Chao shared the good news with his wife, Huang Ying, who was very excited. She said to Yang Xiaotian, “Xiaotian, if you truly can enter Divine Sword Academy in the future, you must work hard in your cultivation, understand?”
Yang Xiaotian hesitated, “Actually, even if I don’t go to Divine Sword Academy, it’s alright. Mother needn’t worry about me.” He then added, “I should have some talent in alchemy. I will strive to become an Alchemist in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Ying smiled wryly, “You child, always saying such off-the-wall things.”
Yang Chao also shook his head with a smile.
This child, how could he possibly know how difficult it is to become an Alchemist.
If it were so easy to become an Alchemist, the Yang Family Manor wouldn’t be without a single one.
At this moment, Yang Ling’er laughed, “I believe brother will definitely become an Alchemist someday,” then she playfully winked.
Yang Xiaotian smiled. He knew the little girl didn’t really believe he could become an Alchemist; she was only saying this to comfort her brother.
Huang Ying gently pinched Yang Ling’er’s nose and laughed, “In the future, my Ling’er might even become an Alchemist as well.”
“Mother is just making fun of me,” Yang Ling’er wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue.
They all laughed together.
Moments later, Yang Xiaotian returned to his room, took out the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, and swallowed it.
With the circulation of the Primordial Dragon Art, the power of the Four Symbols Spirit Pill was rapidly transformed into Innate True Qi.
The vortex of Qi in Yang Xiaotian’s Dantian expanded visibly at an astounding rate.
Soon, it had swelled to ten meters in size.
Next to the second vortex, a third one began to form and solidify.
It wasn’t until late into the night that Yang Xiaotian stopped cultivating and inspected the three large Qi vortices in his Dantian with inner sight, feeling delighted.
The Four Symbols Spirit Pill had lived up to his expectations; he had just barely broken through to the third level of the Innate Realm.
Furthermore, after this breakthrough, he felt one step closer to awakening the second True Dragon Power.
Looking at the night sky, Yang Xiaotian left his yard with a swift motion.
He was to go to Divine Sword City tomorrow and needed to visit the valley cave dwelling.
However, as Yang Xiaotian approached the valley, he detected a scent of blood.
Then, from ahead, came the agonized cry of a Spirit Beast in pain.
Yang Xiaotian’s face changed, it was the Golden Armored Beast!
The Golden Armored Beast was injured!
