Douluo Continent, Southwest of Tian Dou Empire, Earth Three Sects, Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect.
In the sect's grand hall, a six-year-old girl with blue hair like a waterfall and deep blue eyes, dressed in black, felt a slight sense of anticipation and nervousness.
At the same time, there were two dignified middle-aged men in the hall, their expressions also showing great anticipation.
Responsible for the Martial Soul Awakening was a forty-year-old beautiful woman, also with blue hair and blue eyes, looking very similar to the girl.
Evidently, this beautiful woman was the girl's mother.
The beautiful woman had already prepared for the awakening, spreading her hands. Accompanied by a faint fresh fragrance, a pink begonia bloomed in her hands.
The flower had nine petals, composed of white and pink, extremely dazzling, and the flower's posture was graceful.
Suddenly, a longing light blossomed in the beautiful blue eyes of the girl.
The two middle-aged men also stood in awe.
Because, the beautiful woman's Martial Soul was the Nine-Hearted Begonia! The only possessor of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent.
The Seven Treasures Glaze Tower is the most powerful support Martial Soul on the surface of the Douluo Continent, but the Nine-Hearted Begonia was originally the strongest support Martial Soul. However, it can only have one disciple, so its fame is far inferior to the Seven Treasures Glaze Tower.
Each generation of the Nine-Hearted Begonia can only have one inheritor. At the same time, there can only be two living Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Masters. Only when one dies can a descendant possibly appear, making it the scarcest Martial Soul.
The Nine-Hearted Begonia specializes in only one ability. Regardless of how many Soul Rings it has, it only possesses one Soul Technique, which is its terrifying aspect. Its function is—area-wide collective healing! The degree of healing is controlled by the Soul Master's intent, the higher the level, the more Soul Rings, the more Soul Power used for healing.
With a Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Master assisting, it's hard to die, so the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect is also known as the Undying Nine-Hearted Begonia.
"Mom... Can I awaken the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul?" Lingling asked nervously.
The beautiful woman smiled kindly: "You definitely will."
With that, golden light points floated from the black circular stone prepared on the ground and entered Lingling's body.
"Lingling, extend your right hand." The beautiful woman's tone also revealed some anticipation and nervousness.
Lingling nodded, extending her right hand.
Instantly, all the golden light points surged out from her right hand, and in a flash, a white and pink begonia flower appeared on her palm.
"Great! Lingling has the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul!"
Seeing the Martial Soul in Lingling's hand, the beautiful woman was very happy and a long-relieved sigh escaped her heart.
The two middle-aged men beside them were also happy, as the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect would once again have two Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Masters.
Subsequently, testing the Soul Power, the beautiful woman was gratified and satisfied; her daughter's qualification was good, Innate Eight-Level Soul Power.
Leaving the grand hall, the two middle-aged men smiled and said: "Congratulations, Sect Leader."
The beautiful woman's originally kind face was replaced by a sinister smugness as she walked out of the grand hall.
"This was expected, after all, that woman was killed by us six years ago, and her child was also born dead."
"Her being with that so-called person 'more like a human than us' was a very foolish decision, but for you, it was fortunate. Otherwise, if she didn't die, the one to be sacrificed would be you."
"Heh, yes indeed." The beautiful woman's eyes flowed with jealousy: "Innate Full Soul Power, initially promising to become the youngest female Titled Douluo, but unfortunately, she took the wrong path."
...
The next day.
Southwest of Tian Dou Empire, Fasno Province, Holy Soul Village.
As dawn was breaking, the sky was still a light blue, and suddenly there appeared a band of red light in the east, which gradually expanded, soon dyeing half the sky red.
In Holy Soul Village, a six-year-old boy walked out of the village.
The boy had black hair and wore black clothes, looking delicate and cute, with an innocent face, but had a build unexpectedly strong for someone of his age.
The boy left the village and met a peer boy returning to the village.
The returning boy's clothes were simple and clean, with short, neat black hair and healthy wheat-colored skin.
The returning boy smiled and greeted: "Ye Yu, are you going to train under the waterfall again?"
"Yes." Ye Yu smiled and nodded.
"You're really impressive," Tang San praised.
Ye Yu said, "You always get up earlier than me."
After exchanging a few words, they each went their separate ways, Ye Yu heading towards a small mountain waterfall outside the village.
As Tang San left, an expression of admiration glinted in his eyes that one wouldn't expect at his age, and he muttered to himself: "At six years old, he's really extraordinary, his body's strength far surpasses peers, even I can't match it now; he's truly a monster."
After muttering, an expression of helplessness that didn't match his peers appeared on Tang San's face.
"Three months have passed, yet the Profound Celestial Skill still can't break through the first layer bottleneck, why? Although the Purple Extreme Demon Pupil, which can only be cultivated in the early morning, is continually improving, the Profound Celestial Skill just can't break through."
Tang San frowned slightly, then sighed lightly: "Perhaps it's because this world is different from my original one."
By this time, Ye Yu had approached the waterfall, and the sound of rushing water indicated the water flow was turbulent.
What Tang San didn't know was that Ye Yu, too, was not from this world.
Ye Yu knew everything about Tang San, also being a transmigrator, getting up before the sun rose each day to cultivate the Purple Extreme Demon Pupil.
Even though he knew, Ye Yu naturally wouldn't say anything, just pretending not to know.
Ye Yu was from Earth China, and after reading the Douluo Continent novel and falling asleep, he woke up to find himself in the world of Douluo Continent, transmigrated as a newborn.
It wasn't until he was two that his consciousness fully cleared.
He was found by Grandpa Jack, the village chief of Holy Soul Village, outside the village—as a transmigrator, he hadn't yet received any golden finger.
Ye Yu originally thought he might awaken a Wasted Martial Soul at six, becoming an ordinary, nameless person, living a plain life. After all, among ordinary-background people in this world, it's rare for even one in ten to have a good Martial Soul.
However, at three, Ye Yu discovered that his body and strength were naturally exceptional, several times that of his peers, even stronger than ordinary adults. This made Ye Yu realize he was not ordinary.
Without a golden finger, if he was unusual, then it was likely related to his parents? Making him different from ordinary people?
He asked Old Jack, who said that when he found Ye Yu, there were no relatives around, and he knew nothing about Ye Yu's background.
Old Jack often stopped him from training under the waterfall, urging him to live quietly as an ordinary person. This made Ye Yu realize that Old Jack must be hiding something. As the village chief, Old Jack wanted the village's children to excel. Moreover, Ye Yu was essentially a relative to Old Jack.
Ye Yu was sure that Old Jack knew something.
Ye Yu anticipated in his heart: "In three days, the village will have a Martial Soul Awakening ceremony; then, let's see what my Martial Soul is!"
