Before long, led by the old man in white, a refined and gentle middle-aged man entered. He wore a spotless white robe and had a face as handsome as polished jade.

Behind him, to the left, followed an elderly man whose hair and beard were entirely white, though his face was as tender as a baby's.

The man on the right was the complete opposite of the old man on the left.

His face was withered, his frame tall, the skin on his face shriveled, and his eye sockets deeply sunken.

A few sparse strands of white hair lay across his scalp. He was as ugly as could be.

"Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo."

Among the crowd, Ye Feng silently glanced at them before putting on an obedient expression.

Ye Feng stood in an exceptionally conspicuous position, like a crane among chickens.

Before the old man in white could introduce him, Ning Fengzhi and the other two had already fixed their gazes on him.

Ye Feng had delicate features and a pair of bright eyes, coupled with a calm temperament that did not suit his age.

He looked exceptionally handsome.

At first glance, Ning Fengzhi's impression of him greatly improved.

Temperament was a rather mysterious thing. No matter how Ye Feng tried to disguise himself, his experiences remained, and so did the temperament he could not conceal.

Standing among the crowd, he was visibly different at a glance.

"Sect Master, this is the child who awakened Innate Full Soul Power," the old man in white introduced perceptively.

"Indeed, he is extraordinary. Child, what is your name?" Ning Fengzhi asked warmly as he approached Ye Feng.

"Reporting to Sect Master, this disciple is Ye Feng," Ye Feng replied respectfully.

Since he had been born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi would be his backer from now on.

At least until the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was destroyed, Ning Fengzhi would be his backer.

"Good child, let me see your Innate Soul Power."

Ning Fengzhi placed a hand on Ye Feng's shoulder. Ye Feng felt a warm stream of soul power enter his body and instantly travel through him once.

"Haha, it truly is Innate Full Soul Power," Ning Fengzhi said happily after the examination.

"Congratulations, Sect Master!" Sword Douluo Chen Xin said with a pleased smile from behind him.

Innate Full Soul Power was no common cabbage. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had never produced a soul master with Innate Full Soul Power before!

"Very good, Ye Feng. I wish to accept you as my disciple. Are you willing?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Feng with satisfaction. The more he looked, the more he liked him.

"Ahem, Fengzhi, you are the Sect Master and are usually occupied with countless affairs."

"My martial soul is also a beast martial soul, and I have plenty of free time. How about letting me teach this child instead?" Bone Douluo said in a hoarse voice from behind him.

"You old bag of bones, you're already trying to steal a disciple? I'm stronger than you, so I should be the one teaching him," Sword Douluo said unwillingly.

"What do you mean, you teach him? You have a weapon martial soul—what could you possibly teach him? I'm the most suitable teacher for him," Bone Douluo argued.

"Enough, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu. I'll teach this disciple myself," Ning Fengzhi said helplessly as he looked at the two arguing men.

He had his own considerations. He had to keep a genius with Innate Full Soul Power firmly in his own hands.

Only then could he securely tie Ye Feng to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's chariot.

Seeing the determination in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo fell silent.

At that moment, they also understood why Ning Fengzhi wanted to take Ye Feng as his disciple.

Given their loyalty to Ning Fengzhi, they naturally would not challenge his decision.

Ye Feng: ...

Were you guys even being polite? It seemed like I hadn't agreed yet.

Still, there was no need to think about such a question.

Ye Feng immediately straightened up and respectfully performed a formal bow to Ning Fengzhi. "This disciple, Ye Feng, greets Master."

"Haha, good. Your master will certainly cultivate you into a powerful soul master," Ning Fengzhi said joyfully.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Having successfully taken Ye Feng as his disciple, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also offered their congratulations with smiles on their faces.

With a genius like Ye Feng, who possessed Innate Full Soul Power, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have worthy successors in the future.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was powerful only because of several old fellows like them holding it up.

Once they passed away, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would likely decline.

After becoming Ning Fengzhi's disciple, Ye Feng's treatment soared.

Without him needing to do anything, Ning Fengzhi arranged for him to live in a private courtyard.

The room was fully furnished with every facility he could need. They had even thoughtfully assigned him a maid to handle his daily needs.

Once he had settled in, Ye Feng finally began to think over everything that had happened today.

First, he had somehow transmigrated to Douluo Continent. Then, he had awakened a system and been accepted as Ning Fengzhi's disciple.

Every single one of those events had left Ye Feng mentally exhausted.

Even now, he still could not understand why he had transmigrated in the first place.

Had he read too many transmigration novels?

"System!" With a thought, a transparent panel appeared in his vision.

Host: Ye Feng Martial Soul: Ordinary Sparrow (1/10) Level: 10 (Innate Full Soul Power) Soul Skills: None Skill: Meditation Method (Beginner)

"Ordinary Sparrow, and the progress is only one-tenth. No wonder my Innate Soul Power was only half a level. I almost failed to become a Soul Master!" Ye Feng thought to himself.

"Ding, your Martial Soul sensed your concern and became emotional, triggering another evolution. Evolution progress: 2/10."

"Ding, your Martial Soul indicates that the consumption was too great. It needs rest and energy replenishment."

As the Martial Soul Evolution progress increased, Ye Feng felt a wave of heat course through his body before everything quickly returned to normal, as though the sensation had merely been an illusion.

It seemed that such a small amount of progress was not enough to bring about a qualitative change.

"Energy? How do I replenish it? By eating?" Ye Feng froze for a moment and was about to go out to find something to eat.

"Ding, your Meditation Method says that you may be overthinking things. Energy means soul power. If you want to feed your Martial Soul, you'll have to rely on it."

"Meditation Method, give the kid a bite to eat. Look how hungry it is—it's already gone on strike." Ye Feng felt as though he were begging for food.

"Ding, your Meditation Method has shared the soul power it just cultivated with the Martial Soul. After eating and drinking its fill, the Martial Soul feels brimming with strength, and its evolution speed has increased..."

"Ding, your Meditation Method says that soul power does not come for free. You still need to eat and drink properly."

"So, in the end, I still have to rely on myself!" Ye Feng smiled smugly and got up to open the door.

"Ding, your Meditation Method feels the sunlight shining upon it. Its whole body feels warm, and its meditation efficiency has increased."

"Oh? There's a benefit like that too?"

Ye Feng looked up at the sun in the sky and decided that later, he would move a chair outside and sit in the courtyard to bask in the sun.

"Xiao Zhu, I'm hungry. Is lunch ready yet?"

Xiao Zhu was a cute young girl who had also grown up in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. However, she had no talent for cultivation, so she had been trained as a maid from childhood and was now assigned to him.

"Young Master, lunch has already been arranged. It will be delivered shortly." Hearing Ye Feng's voice, Xiao Zhu hurried over and replied obediently.

"Well, would you look at that—I'm a young master now!"

Ye Feng could feel the change in status. He had once been an ignored ordinary disciple, but after awakening his Martial Soul, his treatment had immediately improved. Now, someone was even addressing him as Young Master.

He had to admit, this feeling was actually pretty good.
