1189 A Sign of Awakening

Inside their room, Xi Shengmo said by his desk while Xi Mingze was resting on the bed.

"If you're going to convince me to let our daughter marry Yuan, you don't need to anymore." Xi Shengmo said while looking at her. "I am fully convinced that he's more than worthy to marry her."

Xi Mingze smiled and said, "That's not the only thing I want to talk to you about today. There is still so much that we don't understand about Yuan."

"What do you mean?" Xi Shengmo raised an eyebrow.

Xi Mingze then said, "For starters, the Dragon Ancestor knew that he'd arrive in the Ancient Dragon City. This means he has some kind of relationship with our Ancestor."

"I thought he was only a very talented individual at that time and didn't think too much about it, but Yuan… He's an unfathomable existence."

After pausing for a moment, she continued, "As you witnessed today, during our fight, his Soul Strength was on par with mine— if not a little stronger. I believed that it was due to a powerful spiritual treasure at first, but when he revealed his Soul Strength, I knew that wasn't the case and that his Soul Strength is truly that strong. How can a human at his age have such powerful Soul Strength? Even if he could somehow increase his Soul Strength at a tremendous pace, his soul would still need to be able to withstand it. This applies to one's cultivation, too. It's just countless times harder since the Soul is more complicated than the Dantian."

"I have been thinking about this since then. This might sound crazy, but I think he's absorbed the soul of an expert, hence his unexplainable prowess."

"What?! You think he consumed another's soul?! But that's imp—" Xi Shengmo halted his mouth at that moment.

If he thought about it, anything was possible with Yuan.

After pondering some time, he spoke, "If I recall correctly, there exists a technique that allows one to consume another's soul, but this technique has been lost since the Primordial Era. It is also a demonic technique, so if Yuan learned this technique, we would've sensed his demonic aura."
