Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 66 Jiang Nannan Joins the Tang Clan, Initiation Ceremony

evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed half the sky red, bathing the small garden on the west side of Shrek Academy in a warm orange hue.

A small artificial lake in the distance rippled with light.

In the pavilion by the lake, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, and Ye Chen sat facing each other around a round stone table in the center.

"Sister Nan, what's your decision?" Ye Chen tapped the stone table with his finger and slowly looked up at Jiang Nan Nan.

"Yes, I've thought it over. I'm willing to join the Tang Clan!" Jiang Nannan nodded slightly, finally making her decision.

She had actually heard of the Tang Clan a long time ago, but the Tang Clan she heard about was a very famous and powerful force on the continent.

She was just an ordinary Soul Master; how could she be qualified to join such a powerful force?

She actually knew that Tang Ya and Bei Bei were disciples of the Tang Clan, but she never expected that Tang Ya was the sect leader of the Tang Clan...

Ye Chen is also the vice sect leader of the Tang Clan...

Her first reaction upon hearing the news was—this is too hasty!

The Tang Sect is so powerful, yet its leader's cultivation level is even lower than hers...

However, when she learned about Tang Clan's plight, she felt a deep sense of sympathy for Tang Ya.

The Tang Clan is currently short-handed, and since she, Tang Ya, and Ye Chen are good friends, she naturally chose to join and contribute to the reconstruction of the Tang Clan.

"Hehe, then it's settled~ Xiaoya will give you the rest of the Tang Sect's martial arts manual, and I also have an introductory gift for Nannan."

Ye Chen chuckled and then handed Jiang Nannan a small wooden box.

"Entrance ceremony?"

Jiang Nannan was slightly taken aback.

"Our Tang Clan has this kind of thing?" Tang Ya was also a little confused.

As the leader of the Tang Clan, how could she not know that joining the Tang Clan required an initiation ceremony?
She is now the only remaining member of the Tang Clan, and she is extremely poor. She can't even afford the materials to make hidden weapons. All she has left are her cultivation techniques and martial arts secrets.

Where would we get the money to buy a wedding gift...?

"Click~"

Ye Chen did not answer, but gently opened the wooden box, revealing four thumb-sized brown pills inside.

"This is a Soul Enhancement Pill, an enhanced version of the 'Soul Ascension Pill.' After taking it, it can greatly improve one's soul power cultivation, and it has no side effects. Moreover, there is no limit to the number of times it can be taken. It is most effective for Soul Venerables, and the higher the cultivation level, the less effective it is."

"Sister Nan Nan, you should be a level 38 Soul Master now. After you digest these four Soul Enhancement Pills, you should be able to directly advance to the level 40 Soul Master realm."

Ye Chen explained slowly.

Although Jiang Nannan came from a commoner background, she had extremely high innate soul power and showed outstanding talent from a young age, standing out from the fiercely competitive Shrek Academy to become a core disciple.

Even though the cultivation resources she obtained were far less than those of Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, her cultivation level did not fall behind in the slightest.

If Jiang Nannan could obtain cultivation resources from the families behind Xu Sanshi or Bei Bei, she would have already left Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi far behind.

"What! A Soul-Enhancing Pill!"

"An increase in soul power without any side effects... How is this possible..."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's explanation, Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya both covered their mouths, their faces filled with disbelief.

"No, no, no... junior, this is too precious, I can't accept it..."

Jiang Nannan was somewhat flattered and quickly pushed the pill back.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Ye Chen, but rather that she knew how precious those four pills were. She had heard of the "Soul Ascension Pill," and many of her classmates had taken it. The price of one "Soul Ascension Pill" would require her to save for decades to afford it.

If the Soul-Ascending Pill is so precious, then the Soul-Enhancing Pill that Ye Chen gave us, and there are four of them!

These four Soul-Enhancing Pills are more expensive than she could afford even if she sold herself...

"Ye Chen, where did you get this Soul-Enhancing Pill...? Does our Tang Clan even have something like this?" Tang Ya was still completely confused. Was the Tang Clan really that rich? How come she, the sect leader, knew nothing about it?
"Consider this a personal gift from me, after all, it's for the development of the Tang Sect~"

Ye Chen chuckled, then looked at Jiang Nannan and said, "Sister Nannan, please accept it. This pill is actually a specialty of my family, nothing special. Besides, the stronger you become, the better you can help us develop the Tang Clan!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he also handed Tang Ya a small wooden box containing five Soul Enhancement Pills, saying, "Yes, Sister Xiao Ya, you have some too."

"Ah, really! Thank you, Vice Sect Leader~"

Tang Ya exclaimed in surprise and quickly put away the jade box in her hand, looking completely satisfied.

At first, she felt a little resentful that Ye Chen gave it to Jiang Nannan but not to her... However, since there were outsiders present, she couldn't say anything.

Only now did she realize that Ye Chen hadn't just been looking after outsiders; he had actually prepared a set for her as well!
This is a Soul-Enhancing Pill with no side effects! If she takes it, her cultivation level will increase by several levels.

It's countless times faster than Ye Chen's "secret technique"!
At this moment, she really began to doubt whether Ye Chen's family was truly a family of doctors.
Which family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners has such a terrifying lineage?
Tang Ya took the jade box, secretly opened it, and found that there were actually five pieces inside!
One more than Jiang Nannan!
Her satisfaction and affection for Ye Chen reached its peak.

This deputy sect leader is so sensible!
Bringing Ye Chen into the Tang Clan was the most correct and wisest decision she ever made.

Fortunately, it was Beibei who left the Tang Sect last time.

If Ye Chen leaves the Tang Sect, she'll probably cry herself to death.

"Alright, alright, it takes quite a while to digest the pills. You can take them slowly when you get back. Today, the Tang Sect has gained another super genius, so it's on me. Let's celebrate properly!"

Ye Chen then took the initiative to make the suggestion.

Although there are three of us eating, we can't do anything inappropriate.

However, it can also greatly improve the relationship between the group, allowing Jiang Nannan to integrate into the Tang Clan family more quickly.

"Okay~"

Tang Ya cheered, looking very happy.

After all, she knew Ye Chen was very rich, a middle-aged rich guy, and she felt no guilt about eating and drinking with him.

Jiang Nannan was a bit reserved; normally, she would almost never accept someone's invitation to dinner.

But this time, Ye Chen was treating.

Moreover, she also wanted to have dinner with Ye Chen to improve their relationship.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded slightly, her tone tinged with embarrassment, and said, "Okay, thank you for spending money this time, junior. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Jiang Nannan's voice is gentle and soothing to listen to.

"Okay, let's talk about it another day. We definitely need to celebrate properly today!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he led the two of them outside.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya followed behind Ye Chen, chatting and laughing. The two were already good friends, and now, because of Tang Clan and Ye Chen, their relationship was bound to improve further, and they would become best friends.

And not far behind the two of them.

A figure lurked in the corner, looking in the direction the three had left, a sinister expression on his face.

It was Xu Sanshi.
