Douluo: Summoner Of Nine Treasure Clan
"From today onwards, you are a member of the academy and can cultivate alongside teachers Lü Bu and Li Bai."
Lu Xiao said with a smile.
"I obey the Dean's command."
Ao Yin bowed again, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.
He looked up, his eyes, where elements flowed, were also drawn to the golden heavenly curtain still shining in the sky.
Just as Ao Yin appeared, and Lu Xiao gained another immensely talented individual under his command,
the high-hanging heavenly curtain once again erupted with an earth-shattering roar!
The ten-thousand-foot golden light converged, forming new list information, and the majestic voice resounded across the continent:
"special martial soul ranking, Second Place: Nine Heart Begonia!"
"Nine Heart Begonia, a support system Tool Spirit. Its uniqueness lies in this: this Martial Soul was born from the Qi of heaven and earth's life and an ancient curse, making it the strongest healing system Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent, without equal!"
"Its uniqueness is manifested as: First, it is passed down through a single lineage, with the next inheritor only appearing when the previous generation's Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master passes away; Second, no matter how many Soul Rings are attached, all its Martial Soul Abilities have only one effect—area-of-effect group healing. This is its power, and also a manifestation of its cursed shackles. It possesses absolute uniqueness on the Douluo Continent!"
"Owner: Ye Lingling (Heaven Dou Royal Academy)"
"Reward: Lifting the generational curse of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul (allowing for multi-lineage inheritance, and each Soul skills will no longer be limited to a single healing effect), Soul Power increased by three Ranks, and all Soul Ring lifespans increased by three thousand years."
"Nine Heart Begonia!!"
If the appearance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda allowed support system Soul Masters on the continent to see the Peak,
then the emergence of the Nine Heart Begonia made all healing system Soul Masters feel shocked and worshipful!
The strongest healing system Martial Soul, without equal!
Single lineage inheritance, area group healing!
What a Heaven-Defying and tragic Martial Soul this was!
And the reward from the heavenly curtain was even more astounding!
Curse lifted! Multi-lineage inheritance!
Martial Soul Abilities no longer singular!
This meant that a powerful healing system Family, capable of changing the entire landscape of the Spirit Master's world, might be about to emerge!
"Oh my god! Nine Heart Begonia! The legendary Martial Soul!"
"Area group healing... in large-scale wars, this is simply a divine skill!"
"The curse has been lifted? And it can be passed down through multiple lineages? Who... who is this Ye Lingling? We must find her!"
"Soul Power increased by three Ranks, Soul Ring lifespan increased by three thousand years, this reward is too terrifying!"
"..."
The entire continent, especially the great Empires and Soul Master Sects, went crazy at this moment.
An unrestricted Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, their strategic value, even surpassed multiple attack system Titled Douluo... In Heaven Dou City, within a secluded and elegant courtyard.
A cool-tempered girl in black was supporting a white-haired old man, standing in the courtyard.
They looked up at the heavenly curtain that had shaken the continent.
When the four characters "Nine Heart Begonia" and its detailed description appeared, the grandfather and granddaughter both trembled violently, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.
"Lingling... it's... it's you!"
The old man's voice trembled, filled with excitement and an indescribable complex emotion.
He was Ye Lingling's grandfather, the husband of the previous generation's Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, and he deeply understood the glory and sorrow this Martial Soul brought to their Family.
Ye Lingling's cool and pretty face was now also covered with shock and bewilderment.
She looked at the descriptions of "single lineage inheritance," "uniqueness," and "curse" for the Nine Heart Begonia on the heavenly curtain.
It was as if for the first time, she so clearly realized the destiny she bore.
And when the rewards of "lifting the curse," "multi-lineage inheritance," and "Martial Soul Abilities no longer singular" appeared,
a huge, unprecedented wave of ecstasy instantly broke through her Spiritual defenses!
"The curse... can be lifted?"
She murmured, hardly daring to believe her eyes and ears.
This meant that their Nine Heart Begonia lineage could finally break free from the nightmare-like destiny of single lineage inheritance.
They could proliferate like other Martial Souls.
They could possess more and stronger abilities.
And not just be a pure, single-function healing machine!
"Boom!"
Just as her heart surged, the golden pillar of light, symbolizing the Heavenly Dao's grace, accurately crossed space.
Completely enveloping her!
"Buzz!"
Warm and vast energy surged into her body.
Ye Lingling felt completely comfortable, her Soul Power rapidly climbing at an unprecedented speed, instantly breaking through her original Rank, rising three Ranks!
The three Soul Rings around her, originally of the optimal yellow, yellow, purple configuration, rapidly deepened in color under the nourishment of the golden light, finally stabilizing into three purple ones.
Surpassing the limit of optimal Soul Ring configuration.
What excited her even more was her Martial Soul!
"Boom!"
The Nine Heart Begonia involuntarily appeared in her palm.
The begonia flower, which originally appeared somewhat pale and carried a hint of tragic beauty, began to undergo subtle changes in form under the baptism of the golden light.
The Martial Soul's color completely transformed into gold!
The entire begonia flower exuded an unprecedented noble, sacred, and vibrant aura!
"Grandpa! Did you see it?"
When the golden light dissipated,
Ye Lingling felt the surging power within her and the completely transformed Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, excitedly grasping her grandfather's arm.
"The Martial Soul's shackles, they really disappeared!"
However, unlike Ye Lingling's pure joy,
after the initial excitement, a deep layer of worry quickly clouded the old man's face.
One could even say fear.
He tightly gripped his granddaughter's hand, his cloudy eyes filled with solemnity and determination: "Lingling, calm down! Blessing and disaster are intertwined!"
Ye Lingling was startled, looking at her grandfather in confusion.
The old man looked up at the sky, his voice low and hoarse.
"Child, have you ever thought about it? Before, precisely because of this curse-like restriction, although our Nine Heart Begonia lineage was sparse, it received much attention."
"But precisely because its function was singular and could only be passed down through a single lineage, its threat to those top powers was limited; they were more inclined to win us over rather than forcibly seize us."
"That's how we were able to live in peace and maintain relative freedom."
He looked sharply at Ye Lingling: "But now it's different. The curse is lifted, multi-lineage inheritance, Martial Soul Abilities are no longer singular!"
"What does this mean?"
"It means that our Nine Heart Begonia lineage has the potential to become a super support Sect, and our strategic value has increased more than tenfold!"
"Especially Spirit Hall!"
The old man's tone was incredibly heavy, "Their desire to control various rare Martial Souls on the continent, you and I both know. Before, they might have treated us courteously and slowly schemed."
"But now... your Martial Soul's restrictions are lifted, which means to them, you are a chess piece that must be firmly controlled, capable of influencing the continent's situation!"
"They will never allow you to wander outside, nor will they allow you to join other forces. Once they find you, you will have no freedom in this life; you will only become a tool under Spirit Hall's control!"
Ye Lingling listened to her grandfather's analysis.
The joy on her face instantly faded, replaced by pallor and terror.
She was not foolish; she had just been overwhelmed by the immense surprise. Now, after her grandfather's reminder, she immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.
With her current value, Spirit Hall would absolutely spare no effort to "invite" her!
"Then... Grandpa, what should we do?"
Ye Lingling's voice carried a hint of panic and helplessness, "Where... where can we escape to?"
