This was truly a wonderful feeling for Er Ming. To him, all of these descendants were like a massive blessing from the heavens that had fallen right onto his lap.
He had lived for many years and no longer cared about many things, but he still held family in very high regard.
"I, I'm a little stumped. I'll have to report this to my family," Yuanen Yehui said in a dumbstruck manner.
"Of course, I'll come with you; I really want to see them as well," Er Ming immediately said in an excited voice.
After suddenly learning that he had so many descendants, he naturally wanted to see them for himself now.
Yuanen Yehui took a deep breath, and after her initial period of shock, she finally calmed down a little. She recalled that when Er Ming had laid his hand on her shoulder, she hadn't felt averse to him. Was this a result of their bloodline connection?
Xie Xie was appraising Er Ming with a rather hesitant expression. "I'm sorry, Senior, I didn't mean to attack you earlier."
Er Ming took a glance at him, then turned to Yuanen Yehui. "Who is he to you?"
Before Yuanen Yehui had a chance to reply, Xie Xie answered in her stead, "I'm her boyfriend!"
Er Ming pursed his lips in response. "You should've picked Wulin instead; he's nowhere near Wulin's level!"
Xie Xie instantly became extremely flushed upon hearing this, but he had no retort to offer. He had the confidence to compare himself with anyone else, but he knew that Wulin was indeed far beyond his reach.
Yuanen Yehui shook her head in response. "I think he's great."
Xie Xie was struck by the urge to burst into tears upon hearing this. A warm and soft, yet firm grasp then closed itself around his hand, and he hurriedly held onto her hand as well.
Er Ming suddenly burst into laughter. "I was kidding! You're an interesting little guy, but your martial soul doesn't seem to be fully developed; I'll help you with that later."
Xie Xie faltered slightly upon hearing this. What was that supposed to mean?
Er Ming continued, "Your martial soul is the extremely rare Space Time Dragon, right? I can sense that you've only grasped the spatial facet of your martial soul, but haven't attained any mastery in the area of time. You must master both facets of your martial soul to fulfill its full potential."
Xie Xie's eyes immediately lit up. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior!"
He was a smart man, and he knew that this was an opportunity he couldn't afford to miss.
Tang Wulin hadn't said anything, but judging from the respect he was displaying toward Er Ming, this man was most likely a Limit Douluo!
Every member of Shrekâs Seven Monsters was working hard to improve; Tang Wulin was progressing at a rapid rate that made it seem impossible to catch up to him, but that didn't mean everyone was going to stop trying.
Xie Xie possessed twin martial souls, but his family didn't have much of a powerful background, so it could be said that he was already the most powerful being in the history of his family.
Shrek Academy had exceptional teachers and mentors, but his martial soul had never been seen before, so no one could help him find the path that belonged to him.
Yue Zhengyu had the support of the Holy Angel clan, and after two awakenings, his cultivation rank had far exceeded Xie Xie's. Yuanen Yehui also possessed two ultra-powerful martial souls, as well as exceptional aptitude, while Ye Xinglan was the hardest worker among them all, having already attained a sword soul.
Xu Lizhi's understanding of the power of destruction was developing further and further, and he wasn't even supposed to specialize in battle!
The control abilities of Xu Xiaoyan's Starwheel Staff was also becoming more and more powerful, and due to the special nature of her mutated martial soul, she was able to cultivate extremely quickly at night by absorbing the power of starlight.
As such, even though Xie Xie was constantly doing his best, he still felt like he was lagging behind. Hence, he was naturally ecstatic to have met a powerful being well-versed with the powers of the Space Time Dragon and willing to instruct him.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward at this point, and Er Ming scratched his own head in a rather anxious manner.
He was actually even more nervous than Yuanen Yehui. Even though he had lived for countless years, this was the first time he had faced such a situation.
He hadn't experienced the process of becoming a father and grandfather; he had become an ancestor right away! As such, he had no idea how he was supposed to communicate with his descendants, but it was clear from his expression just how genuinely fond of Yuanen Yehui he was.
"By the way, Yuanen, Uncle Er Ming says he has a way to resolve your Fallen Angel martial soul issue without harming you," Tang Wulin said, breaking the awkward silence.
Xie Xie was even more elated than Yuanen Yehui herself to hear this. "Really? That's fantastic!"
Tang Wulin cast his gaze toward Er Ming, who repeated the same thing that he had told Tang Wulin once before. Tang Wulin hadn't disclosed this information himself as he wanted to give Er Ming the opportunity.
It could be said that this was the main concern for the Yuanen Family at the moment, and after hearing what Er Ming had to say, Yuanen Yehui burst into tears. These weren't tears of joy; they were tears of sadness for her mother.
If her mother had encountered Er Ming, she wouldn't have suffered such a tragic fate.
"Don't cry!" Er Ming immediately began to panic and was at a loss for what to do.
Yuanen Yehui shook her head, and said, "Thank you, thank you so much."
Er Ming sighed, "Fate really works in tragic ways sometimes. If our Divine Realm hadn't disappeared, there's no way that accursed demonic plane would've dared to invade our plane. I'm sure the Divine Realm will return someday, and when that time comes, all of those bastards looking to invade will be taught a painful lesson. I can't help your mother, but perhaps I can help your father recover his powers."
Yuanen Yehui's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. "Really? Is it not too late?"
Er Ming replied, "I haven't met him yet, but he's still a descendant of mine. The main objective isn't to treat his current physical condition. Instead, it's to reignite the will to live in his heart. As long as we can do that, treatment shouldn't be much of an issue. He was once a Titled Douluo, so he has a good foundation. Soul Masters who make it to the Titled Douluo level are acknowledged by the laws of the plane to a certain extent. Otherwise, how do you think you humans can become so powerful? Hence, there's still hope. However, you have to be the one to reignite his will to live."
Yuanen Yehui nodded firmly in response.
Tang Wulin's heart was also filled with elation as he listened to their exchange.
"After the conclusion of this joust for a spouse, I'll accompany you back to your family. I'll sever your connection with the demonic plane in front of your grandfather so your family can rest assured, then see if we can heal your father. I'll ask my godmother to come along as well; there's no better healer than her on this continent."
Yuanen Yehui didn't say anything in response, but she was nodding with tears in her eyes.
The joust for a spouse event continued as planned, but due to the lengthy duration of the competition, its popularity was gradually beginning to wane.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Pagoda was already making final preparations. It was undoubtedly the case that the final selection Gu Yuena was going to make was still going to be a huge spectacle that would raise the popularity of the event to new heights.
After a few rounds of the round-robin stage, the favorites for all the groups had already emerged, and aside from their matches, the other matches garnered very little attention.
During the next few rounds, Tang Wulin didn't encounter much resistance. After all, he was simply too powerful, and all of his opponents were brushed aside with ease.
