Chapter 53: The Curse of the Nine Heart Begonia; The Royal Fighting Team
Upon hearing this, a trace of appreciation flashed in Jiang Li's deep eyes.
It had to be said that although Ye Renxin was a support system Soul Master with little offensive power, his intuition regarding the continental situation was sharper than that of many Titled Douluo.
That crazy woman Bibi Dong was indeed a bomb ready to detonate at any moment. If the Nine Heart Begonia joined Spirit Hall's sinking ship, they would probably end up without even a speck of bone remaining.
In stark contrast was the Sect Master of a certain frequently jumping support system Sect...
Being so arrogant, who else would face annihilation if not them?
"Family Head Ye's insight is truly sharp."
A gentle and jade-like smile appeared on Jiang Li's face. He did not put on a superior attitude because of the other party's surrender; instead, he personally picked up the teapot and refilled Ye Renxin's teacup with hot tea.
This action greatly flattered the already nervous Ye Renxin. Even Ye Lingling, who had kept her head down and dared not speak, couldn't help but secretly raise her eyes, filled with unstoppable surprise.
"Since Senior Ye is so frank, This Jiang will dispense with those flowery pleasantries," Jiang Li put down the teapot, his tone becoming solemn and sincere. "I, Jiang Li, accept the trust of the Nine Heart Begonia Family. Lingling will certainly receive even better care from me going forward."
Pausing here, Jiang Li continued, "However, establishing a force cannot be rushed right now. My disciple, Tang San, has his own ideas, and as his Master, I must give my full support."
"The continent appears calm right now, but it is merely the quiet before the storm. When the right time comes, the force belonging to us will naturally rise from the ground."
Hearing this promise, Ye Renxin's tightly strung body finally relaxed. He let out a long sigh, as if a massive burden had been lifted.
However, the way he looked at Jiang Li seemed as if he had something more to say but hesitated.
"Family Head Ye, since our relationship has progressed further, feel free to speak your mind. If it is something I can accomplish, This Jiang will certainly not refuse."
Upon hearing this, Ye Renxin chose to speak boldly for the glory of his Family. "Mister Jiang Li, as we both possess top-tier plant system Martial Souls, and both are top-tier life system Martial Souls, I wonder if you have a solution for the curse afflicting my Nine Heart Begonia Family line?"
Here it comes!
Jiang Li knew the other party would inevitably bring this up.
The Immortal Herbs he possessed, such as that Qi Luo Tulip, could help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda break its shackles and reach the Nine Treasure level. Therefore, even if he didn't have a direct cure for the Nine Heart Begonia Family's curse, other Immortal Herbs should achieve a similar effect.
However, regarding the Nine Heart Begonia Family who had just expressed their desire to submit, Jiang Li felt they still needed more time to settle down.
Jiang Li first nodded, then shook his head helplessly.
The Blue Silver Emperor seedling in his hand swayed in the wind, and the pressure of a monarch's arrival, along with an ocean-like Aura of life, instantly filled the entire room.
Ye Renxin was shocked to discover that this was definitely not an ordinary plant system Martial Soul; its life level even suppressed the Nine Heart Begonia.
"There is something Family Head Ye might not know. My Martial Soul was originally just the Blue Silver King; it was only after obtaining some Opportunity that it was able to advance."
"I also know about the curse of your Nine Heart Begonia. I imagine it can be lifted simply by achieving an evolution like my Martial Soul did."
"However, right now, I only have some ideas on how to lift the curse."
Jiang Li stopped there, leaving the other party with ample room for imagination.
A living 'evolution case study' was far more convincing than any empty promise.
The latter was also an old fox, understanding that even if Jiang Li had a solution, he wouldn't reveal it immediately.
But he had seen the only glimmer of hope for his Family's prosperity, so he immediately declared his intention to lead the Family to completely submit.
"Family Head Ye, there is no need to be so hasty. As I said before, the continent is currently in a turbulent time; let's maintain the status quo for now."
The two old foxes exchanged a knowing smile; everything was understood without words.
Ye Lingling: Huh? What happened? (Naturally clueless)
...Soon, Jiang Li brought Ye Lingling to find Tang San and Xiao Wu, and they headed to the training ground of the Royal Fighting Team together.
Having completely secured the top support system talent, it was time to properly arrange this group of youngsters.
"Your improvement over the past few years has been good. Starting today, Little San will be your captain, and Yanzi will serve as the vice-captain."
No one in the Royal Fighting Team had any objections to this.
Jiang Li's training had been remarkably effective, capable of turning decay into something miraculous.
The average strength of this team was now comparable to the Royal Fighting Team from the original story during the Soul Master Tournament.
The benefits brought by strength were immediate.
The students returning to the Family were astonished to find that they now possessed the qualification to dine at the same table as their elders, who looked at them now with eyes full of hope and affection.
From being criticized as'second-generation prodigals' to being called the 'Lord of Revival' by the Family, the massive shift in status pushed their admiration for Jiang Li to its peak.
Only by truly becoming stronger could they understand how terrifying Jiang Li, who made them strong, truly was.
In the hearts of these aristocratic youths, Jiang Li's status had already surpassed that of their Family elders, becoming an inviolable faith.
As for Dugu Yan...
Although her Martial Soul no longer made her the terrifying poison woman she once was after evolving, the strength of a Soul Sect combined with her powerful Dragon system Martial Soul was still quite formidable.
They naturally dared not provoke her.
"What? Xiao Wu has also worked very hard."
Standing beside Tang San, Xiao Wu pouted aggrievedly. As a Transformed Soul Beast, her process of re-cultivation was inherently like having an accelerator cheat.
Reaching level 36 at the age of 12—who wouldn't call such talent terrifying if heard outside?
However, her little rabbit brain clearly couldn't comprehend why Tang San's cultivation seemed to be on fast-forward, nearing the level of a Soul King.
Others didn't know Tang San's true age, but she knew it clearly.
Could the talent of Soul Beast transformation be inferior to that of humans and the children of Transformed Soul Beasts?
A huge question mark appeared above Xiao Wu's head.
Before Tang San could speak, Dugu Yan slowly turned around, her movements languid and elegant, like a beautiful snake just waking from hibernation. She strode forward with her long legs, walking step by step toward Xiao Wu.
"You... what do you want to do?"
Xiao Wu instinctively puffed out her slightly developing small chest. She declared that even if she couldn't beat this hateful woman, she absolutely could not lose in terms of Aura!
