No Fate Between Us, All Because They Were Big and Round

Although the system itself was already an existence beyond all bounds, this ability was truly absurd!

He had previously felt some regret over his Soul Ring Configuration, but who would have thought there would be such a turn for the better?

Didn't that mean that as long as he took in disciples with sufficiently monstrous talent, his Soul Ring Age Limit could soar on the spot?

Why keep lying low, then? He had to intervene in the plot!

Take disciples! Take disciples as soon as possible!

And he couldn't just take anyone. He had to choose carefully and find those future monsters!

Promising seedlings... At this point in time, where would promising seedlings appear?

Speaking of monsters!

Jiang Yunzhou's gaze involuntarily turned toward the end of the road—Suotuo City.

"Oh? What a coincidence, wouldn't you say?"

A meaningful smile curled across his lips as the gears of fate meshed perfectly at this moment.

"Didn't I arrive at just the right time?"

"System, do I have a personal panel? Also, shouldn't there be some compensation? Like a gift pack?"

Yes, Host, yes.

Ding! One Martial Arts Gift Pack. Charm permanently +99 points (already in effect)! Please claim it...

With a thought, Jiang Yunzhou sensed the existence of the gift pack.

Charm +99?

He lowered his head and looked himself over. He did not feel any changes, so he did not dwell on it for the moment.

Focusing on the Martial Arts Gift Pack, he found martial arts manuals from various worlds within it.

The highest-grade ones had even reached Grandmaster level.

After roughly assessing them, he felt that their level was about comparable to Tang San's "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record."

There were too many of these martial arts techniques. He could study them slowly later.

With another thought, he silently called up his system panel:

[Name]: Jiang Yunzhou

[Age]: 18

[Charm]: 99+

[Martial Soul]: Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

[Trait]: The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Martial Soul grants the host a constant increase to base combat power and cultivation speed. Current multiplier: 7x

[Level]: Level 79, Assault System Battle Soul Saint

[Soul Rings]: Yellow (420 years), Yellow (750 years), Purple (2,000 years), Purple (6,000 years), Black (14,000 years), Black (40,000 years), Black (60,000 years)

[Soul Bones]: None

[Soul Skills]: First Soul Skill: Azure Leaf Sky Split: Sword leaves transform into azure blades, unleashing a strange sword-energy slash with immense piercing power. It has armor-piercing and tearing effects against energy-based defensive Soul Skills.

Second Soul Skill: Leaf Shadow Thousand Patrol: Condenses phantom sword leaves around the user, forming an integrated offensive and defensive sword-leaf barrier that can be controlled at will to block attacks or strike proactively.

Third Soul Skill: Spirit Source Recovery: Stimulates the life essence of the Sword Grass and releases it upon a selected target, rapidly healing injuries and replenishing a portion of Soul Power.

Fourth Soul Skill: Myriad Transformation Sword Prison: Centered on the user, manifests countless fine strands of sword energy. Wherever the mind directs, ten thousand swords launch together, forming a large-scale rain of swords.

Fifth Soul Skill: Boundless Sword Tomb: Unfolds a unique sword domain. Within the domain, tough and sharp Sword Grass sprouts from the ground, while invisible sword energy and pressure fill the air, continuously cutting, harassing, and suppressing enemies.

Sixth Soul Skill: One Sword Severing Law: Condenses the true form of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass to unleash an ultimate slash containing a trace of the intent of 'Severing.' It possesses law-breaking properties:

Can forcibly sever the energy connection of a Soul Skill being cast by the target, forcefully interrupting the casting.

Can cleave through defenses such as energy barriers and wards.

Can ignore physical defenses and deal true damage.

Seventh Spirit Ability: Sword Grass Descends (Martial Soul Avatar): Transforms into the true form of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. All attributes surge severalfold, and every gesture can summon a vast, unmatched torrent of sword energy.

Jiang Yunzhou quickly scanned the panel. The information truly was extraordinarily detailed.

"Mm, this panel is quite convenient. It lets me quantify my condition more intuitively." He nodded to himself.

Although he had a clear grasp of his own strength, presenting it as data was indeed much clearer.

His gaze turned once more toward Suotuo City, and a powerful sense of anticipation surged in his chest.

With his current realm, close to that of a Soul Douluo, coupled with the enhancement of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass and his many powerful Soul Skills, he should no longer need to fear that old schemer who had always hidden in the shadows.

Though they had never truly fought, he was confident he could handle him.

Moreover, he vaguely sensed that the bottleneck preventing him from breaking through to Soul Douluo seemed to be right before his eyes!

In high spirits, Jiang Yunzhou strolled leisurely along the forest path.

Suddenly, a black figure fleeing in panic entered his field of vision.

The figure possessed a graceful form, and her astonishing curves became even more breathtaking as she fled at high speed.

Even a fleeting glimpse was enough to leave a deep impression.

The woman's black clothing was torn in many places, exposing vicious bloody wounds beneath. She was clearly seriously injured, and her steps were unsteady.

This distinctive attire and prominent features instantly brought a name to Jiang Yunzhou's mind.

"Huh? Could this be Zhu Zhuqing?"

A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. "A sign of great danger. Looks like she's run into trouble."

"She just escaped the Zhu Family? She crossed several thousand miles to flee to the Tian Dou Empire, probably to find that fiancé she has only met a few times..."

As if to confirm his guess, just as the thought arose, several murderous figures streaked after Zhu Zhuqing in the direction she had vanished.

Having roughly confirmed her identity, Jiang Yunzhou immediately made up his mind.

She truly was suitable as his first disciple!

Now that she was in the midst of a crisis, wasn't this a heaven-sent opportunity?

Even though he knew perfectly well that according to the original course of events, Zhu Zhuqing would have escaped safely without his intervention.

But who told her to catch the eye of Jiang Yunzhou?

"Hehe, there was no fate between you and me—it's all because they're big and round. You'll be my first disciple!"

His figure flashed, and he silently followed after her.

Zhu Zhuqing was indeed clever and knew how to use the advantages of her Martial Soul.

During the pursuit, she had already darted into a dense forest.

Towering trees filled the area, and the terrain was complex and ever-changing. It was an excellent natural barrier that greatly obstructed the pursuers' vision and speed.

In the original script, she might have escaped precisely by relying on this cover.

Jiang Yunzhou, meanwhile, followed unhurriedly behind them as an observer.

With his strength, killing those few Soul Elders and the leading Soul Ancestor would have been as easy as turning his hand.

But he was no chivalrous hero overflowing with kindness. When doing a good deed, how could he possibly not leave his name behind?

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He suddenly accelerated, passed everyone, and quietly appeared on the path Zhu Zhuqing had to take, calmly blocking her way.

"Miss, why are you in such a sorry state?"

A faint smile hung on his face as he continued, "Do you need help?"

This sudden voice exploded against Zhu Zhuqing's tightly wound nerves!

She abruptly stopped, her chest heaving violently, its magnificent swells rising and falling.

Her rapid breaths revealed just how unsettled she was.

A pair of wary eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Yunzhou.

She was secretly alarmed. She had not even seen how this man had appeared!

Her heart pounded uncontrollably—not because she had seen someone she loved, but purely because she had been frightened.

"Y-you... who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
