Chapter 1 Mysterious Background
Douluo Continent, in the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Nine Heart Begonia Sect is one of the three major sects.
Inside the main hall of the sect, a six-year-old girl with cascading blue hair, deep blue eyes, and dressed in black stood with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.
Meanwhile, inside the hall were two imposing middle-aged men, whose expressions also showed great anticipation.
The person in charge of awakening the martial soul was a beautiful woman in her forties, who also had blue hair and blue eyes and looked very similar to the girl.
Clearly, this beautiful woman is the girl's mother.
The beautiful woman was ready to awaken. She spread her arms, and a pink begonia blossomed in her hands, accompanied by a faint fragrance.
It has nine petals, composed of white and pink, which are extremely beautiful and have a graceful shape.
Instantly, a longing light shone in the girl's beautiful blue eyes.
The two middle-aged men were also filled with respect.
Because the beautiful woman's martial soul is the Nine-Hearted Begonia! She is the only owner of the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul in the Douluo Continent.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the most powerful support martial soul on the Douluo Continent, but the Nine Heart Begonia is also the most powerful support martial soul, but only one disciple can have it, so its fame is far inferior to that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
The Nine-Heart Begonia can only have one inheritor per generation. At any given time, only two Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Masters can be alive. Only when one dies can another appear in the next generation, making it arguably the rarest martial soul.
The Nine-Heart Begonia possesses only one special ability. Regardless of the number of spirit rings it has, it only has one spirit skill, which is precisely what makes it so terrifying. Its function is—area-of-effect healing for the entire party! The degree of healing is controlled by the spirit master's will; the higher the level and the more spirit rings it has, the more spirit power it can use for healing.
With the assistance of a Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, it's hard to die, hence the Nine Heart Begonia Sect is also known as the Immortal Nine Heart Begonia.
"Mom...can I awaken the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul?" Lingling asked nervously.
The beautiful woman smiled warmly and said, "Of course."
As she spoke, golden specks of light floated out from the black pebbles prepared on the ground and entered Lingling's body.
"Lingling, extend your right hand." The beautiful woman's tone revealed a hint of anticipation and nervousness.
Lingling nodded and extended her right hand.
Instantly, all the golden light spots in her right hand surged out, and in a flash, a white and pink begonia flower appeared in her palm.
"That's wonderful! Lingling has obtained the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul!"
The beautiful woman was delighted to see the martial spirit in Lingling's hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
The two middle-aged men standing nearby were also happy, as the Nine Heart Begonia Sect would now have two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters.
Afterwards, the woman tested her daughter's soul power and was pleased to find that her daughter had good aptitude, possessing innate level eight soul power.
As they left the main hall, two middle-aged men smiled and said, "Congratulations, Sect Master."
The amiable expression on the beautiful woman's face was replaced by sinister intent as she stepped out of the hall.
"This was to be expected, after all, we killed that woman six years ago, and her child died in the womb."
"It was a foolish decision for her to be with that so-called 'person' who was more human than us, but it was also lucky for you. Otherwise, if she hadn't died, you would have been the one to sacrifice yourself."
"Hehe, yes." Jealousy flickered in the beautiful woman's eyes: "She was born with full soul power and originally had the potential to become the youngest female Title Douluo, but unfortunately she went astray."
...
The next day.
Holy Soul Village, Fasno Province, in the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire.
As dawn broke and the sky was still a pale blue, a red glow appeared in the east. The red glow slowly expanded, and soon it had dyed half of the sky red.
Inside the village of Holy Souls, a six-year-old boy walks out of the village.
The boy was dressed in black with black hair. He was handsome and cute, with a childlike face, but his physique was strong for his age.
As the boy left the village, he encountered another boy of the same age who was preparing to return to the village.
The boy was dressed simply and cleanly, with neat short black hair and a healthy wheat-colored complexion.
The boy returning to the village greeted him with a smile: "Ye Yu, are you going to train under the waterfall again?"
"Mm." Ye Yu nodded with a smile.
"That's really impressive," Tang San praised.
Ye Yu said, "You get up earlier than me every day."
After exchanging a few words, the two parted ways, and Ye Yu headed towards a small waterfall on a hill outside the village.
As Tang San left, a look of admiration, which shouldn't be in his age's eyes, shone in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "At six years old, he's truly extraordinary. His physical strength far surpasses that of his peers. Even I can't do that now. He really is a monster."
After muttering to himself, Tang San's face revealed a helpless expression that was out of character for his age.
"It's been three months, and the Xuan Tian Gong still can't break through the first bottleneck. Why is that? The Purple Demon Eye, which can only be cultivated in the early morning, has been improving all along, but the Xuan Tian Gong can't break through the bottleneck."
Tang San frowned slightly, then sighed softly, "Perhaps it's because this world is different from my original world."
At this moment, Ye Yu approached the waterfall, and the loud rushing sound of the water indicated its rapid flow.
What Tang San didn't know was that Ye Yu was also not from this world.
Ye Yu knew everything about Tang San; he was also a transmigrator. He got up before sunrise every day to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye.
Although he knew, Ye Yu naturally wouldn't say anything and would pretend not to know.
Ye Yu, from China on Earth, woke up after reading the Douluo Continent novel and found himself in the world of Douluo Continent, transformed into an infant.
At that time, his consciousness was not clear, and he did not become fully conscious until he was two years old.
I was picked up by Grandpa Jack, the village chief of Holy Soul Village, outside the village. As a transmigrator, I haven't gotten any cheat codes yet.
Ye Yu originally thought that he might awaken a useless martial soul at the age of six, becoming an unknown ordinary person and living an ordinary life. After all, in this world, among ordinary people, it's rare for even one in ten to have a decent martial soul.
However, at the age of three, Ye Yu discovered that he was born with a body and strength that were different from ordinary people, several times that of his peers and stronger than that of ordinary adults. This made Ye Yu realize that he was not ordinary.
If one is extraordinary without any special abilities, then is it because of their parents? That makes them different from ordinary people?
I asked Old Jack, and Jack said that when he saw me, he didn't see any of my relatives around, and he didn't know anything else about me.
Old Jack often tried to stop him from training under the waterfall, telling him to settle down and live a peaceful life as an ordinary person. This made Ye Yu realize that Old Jack was definitely hiding something. As the village chief, Old Jack always hoped that the village's children would succeed. Moreover, Ye Yu was practically family to Old Jack.
Ye Yu was certain that Old Jack knew something.
Ye Yu thought with anticipation, "Three days from now, the village will hold a martial soul awakening ceremony. Then we'll see what kind of martial soul I have!"
