Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The greatest support sect in the world, and one of Douluo Continent's Upper Three Sects, was holding its Spirit Awakening Ceremony.
"Ning Hai, Martial Soul: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Martial Soul strength: Grade Two."
"Ning Wang, Martial Soul: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Martial Soul strength: Grade Three."
"Wang Qingyun, Martial Soul: White Tiger. Martial Soul strength: Grade Four."
As a sect with deep foundations, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect recruited many disciples every year. Today was the annual Spirit Awakening Day.
Ning Fengzhi, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's leader, looked at the results of the awakenings and sighed, clearly somewhat disappointed.
"When will our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect produce a true genius and become stronger?"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was merely a support sect, exceptionally weak in battle. Moreover, no one possessing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Martial Soul had ever broken through level 80.
Making the sect stronger was Ning Fengzhi's lifelong wish.
"Sect Master, geniuses are rare and cannot be sought after. Besides, Rongrong is also a genius of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her Martial Soul has Grade Seven strength," Bone Douluo said.
Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo watched the disciples undergoing their Spirit Awakenings. Though they verbally consoled Ning Fengzhi, they too felt a trace of disappointment.
Thirty years had passed, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had not produced a truly gifted disciple.
Only Ning Rongrong's Spirit Awakening result had brought them some comfort.
Could it be that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would forever be unable to advance beyond this point?
"Thirty years. For thirty years, I have recruited talent, dreaming that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would produce a genius disciple to make up for our weakness in battle, but..." Ning Fengzhi sighed again, his expression desolate.
How wonderful it would be if a genius could appear.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would inevitably be passed down to Ning Rongrong in the future. Yet no matter how outstanding her talent was, she was still only a Support System Soul Master.
Suddenly, dazzling red light burst from the Spirit Awakening platform.
Light filled heaven and earth. A faint fragrance drifted through the air, and Begonia Flowers fluttered down all around.
It was not just one begonia flower...
But thousands, tens of thousands of Begonia Flowers drifting down from the sky. A young boy stood atop the Spirit Awakening platform.
Before the crystal, the Elder stared at the scene before him in disbelief, even his voice trembling continuously.
"Ye Chen, Martial Soul: Nine Heart Begonia. Martial Soul strength... Grade Nine!"
"And also..."
"Innate Full Soul Power!"
The presiding Elder could not help but exclaim as he looked at the six-year-old boy before him.
The Begonia Flowers from every direction and the crimson radiance filling the sky left even the presiding Elder shaken.
Ye Chen was only six years old, yet he possessed such Soul Power.
Begonia Flowers rained across the entire plaza. Ye Chen's Soul Power was simply too powerful!
Even the presiding Elder could not find words to describe the spectacle before him.
Ye Chen's parents were unknown. Ning Fengzhi had brought him back to the sect to cultivate when he was young, and today he had awakened the Nine Heart Begonia!
Was such a child truly only six years old?
The entire world fell silent.
Everyone could not help drawing in a sharp breath.
Grade Nine Martial Soul strength!
Innate Full Soul Power!
Martial Soul... Nine Heart Begonia!
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's position among Support System Soul Masters was unshakable, then the Nine Heart Begonia was an existence no less formidable than the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Even Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi's daughter and the beloved daughter of heaven on the continent, possessed only Grade Seven Martial Soul strength.
As for Innate Full Soul Power, even Ning Rongrong had never attained it.
Yet...
Ye Chen truly possessed... Innate Full Soul Power!
His talent even surpassed Ning Rongrong's!
If one word had to describe him, it would be... genius!
Today, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had produced a Genius Youth with the Nine Heart Begonia: Ye Chen!
"Nine Heart Begonia, Innate Full Soul Power!" Ning Fengzhi rose to his feet, staring blankly at Ye Chen's figure.
For other types of Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power might still have been possible. But for Support System Soul Masters, the possibility was infinitesimal.
This completely exceeded Ning Fengzhi's imagination.
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's leader could not make sense of the situation.
"Unheard of, unseen before! Sect Master, a genius has appeared within our sect!"
"Our thirty years of effort were not in vain." Sword Douluo spoke, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. Even he did not quite understand why Ye Chen's Martial Soul awakening had produced tens of thousands of Begonia Flowers.
"Indeed."
"What a pity. He is only a Support System Soul Master." The delight in Ning Fengzhi's eyes dimmed somewhat.
"Yes, only a Support System Soul Master. What a pity, what a pity..." Bone Douluo also shook his head.
No matter how gifted he was, it would be difficult for a Support System Soul Master to change the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Beside the dragon soul crystal,
Ye Chen opened his eyes and silently walked down from the testing platform.
A faint chill surrounded his entire body.
He had always been like this, alone and apart from others.
For six years, Ye Chen had had no friends and had never seen his parents.
Yet Ye Chen could sense that he did have a father and mother.
For six years, he had struggled through life in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Others had parents to support them, brothers and sisters, companions to laugh and play with.
He had none of that. He only had himself.
If he had a friend, then Ning Rongrong, the Young Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, might have been Ye Chen's friend.
One day, Ye Chen had been covered in wounds.
That angelic girl had handed him medicine for his injuries, stayed by his side, and stood up for him.
All because someone had mocked him in front of her, saying that Ye Chen's parents were dead.
"Stop." A cold voice rang out. It belonged to Wang Qingyun, who had just awakened his Martial Soul.
"Nine Heart Begonia, Innate Full Soul Power. So what if you're impressive? No wonder you're a bastard whose parents are dead. Let me tell you, stay away from Rongrong."
"A bastard should know his place. You think someone like you can reach for Rongrong?" Wang Qingyun looked at Ye Chen. As a Power Attack System Soul Master, his gaze was full of confidence.
On Douluo Continent, interests came first. Even at only six years old, they had been indoctrinated from childhood and matured early in thought, because winning Ning Rongrong meant gaining the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Furthermore, Ning Rongrong was the precious Young Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She was stunningly beautiful, and even at six years old, she was already exceptionally pretty.
Ye Chen turned back, his icy gaze falling upon Wang Qingyun. A chill flashed through his eyes, and even the temperature around them seemed to drop.
Though he had never met his parents, he would not allow anyone to mock them like this.
Seeing Ye Chen's expression, Wang Qingyun burst out laughing.
So what if he had Innate Full Soul Power? What Combat Power did a Support System Soul Master have?
If Ye Chen truly dared to attack him, he would be seeking death!
"What, are you going to fight?"
"Innate Full Soul Power? How scary." Wang Qingyun looked at Ye Chen and slapped his own backside, while the disciples behind him burst into laughter.
"Ye Chen has Innate Full Soul Power. So impressive, huh? He's just a Support System Soul Master. What is he putting on airs for?"
"Could he possibly dare fight Brother Qingyun? He must be looking to die. I heard the Nine Heart Begonia can only heal. He's useless in a fight."
"If he dares offend Brother Qingyun, he's going to suffer."
The mocking voices of many disciples rose up, their eyes filled with disdain.
A crisp, icy slap rang out.
Ye Chen stepped forward, one step at a time. His pupils had turned blood-red as he looked coldly at Wang Qingyun from above, like an Asura.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
Even Wang Qingyun stared at Ye Chen in disbelief.
Ye Chen had clearly been more than ten meters away from him just moments ago, yet in an instant, he had appeared at his side.
Wang Qingyun had not even been able to see that speed clearly.
"You're courting death!"
"Martial Soul, White Tiger!"
Wang Qingyun instantly unleashed his Martial Soul, staring at Ye Chen as he prepared for battle.
However...
Before even an instant had passed,
It took only one palm strike.
Even the White Tiger within his Martial Soul seemed to let out a miserable cry.
Wang Qingyun was blasted another ten meters away by Ye Chen!
In an instant, Ye Chen shattered Wang Qingyun's Martial Soul!
At this moment,
Red light swirled around Ye Chen's body. A Nine Heart Begonia Flower rested in his left hand.
And around the Nine Heart Begonia Flower was a black aura.
At this moment,
Ye Chen waved his hand, as if it contained endless power.
Boom!!!
One punch struck Wang Qingyun squarely in the chest.
Wang Qingyun's chest suddenly caved in, and his body was blasted directly into a distant stone wall.
Even the stone wall cracked apart.
"Ah..." Wang Qingyun fell to the ground, his body convulsing uncontrollably. Pain clouded his consciousness, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth as he trembled all over.
"No... How could this happen..." Wang Qingyun's chest was in agonizing pain.
Even now, he could not understand why he had lost to a Support System Soul Master.
"If there is a next time, I will kill you."
Ye Chen no longer looked at Wang Qingyun and turned to leave.
In an instant, Ye Chen had defeated Wang Qingyun of the Power Attack System.
The entire crowd was shocked.
The disciples filling the area watched Ye Chen's figure, swallowing hard with fear in their eyes.
Who could have imagined that a Support System Soul Master possessed such terrifying strength?
Even Ning Rongrong, who had just arrived, was stunned.
"So strong..."
"When did Ye Chen become so powerful..."
Ning Rongrong stared blankly at Ye Chen's figure and drew in a sharp breath.
All this time, she had been the one protecting Ye Chen, though there had never been any special feelings involved.
It was only because Ye Chen had no parents, while she herself was kindhearted.
But Ye Chen's performance today left even Ning Rongrong feeling incredulous.
Of course, the most shocked people were Ning Fengzhi, leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda,
And the Elder presiding over the Spirit Awakening.
The Elder exclaimed in amazement. Tears streamed down his face as he looked at Ye Chen's figure. Others did not understand Ye Chen's Martial Soul, but he could see it clearly.
With a thud, the presiding Elder dropped to his knees before Ning Fengzhi.
"Congratulations, Sect Master!"
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has produced a true genius!"
"Little Chen's Martial Soul is not merely the Nine Heart Begonia. His Martial Soul is a Mutated Spirit!"
"An existence unmatched anywhere on the continent. Not only does it possess the effects of a Support Spirit, but Little Chen's Nine Heart Begonia Flower can be used for healing. More terrifyingly, it can also provide Strength Boost and Speed Boost. Once he acquires Soul Rings in the future, it may even grant boosts in other aspects."
"Once he cultivates to a certain realm, Little Chen's strength will not be weaker than that of any Power Attack System, Control System, or Agility Attack System opponent. And he will also be able to heal himself endlessly."
The presiding Elder's eyes were filled with gratification. He had overseen Spirit Awakenings for thirty years, yet he had never seen a genius disciple like Ye Chen. How could he not be moved to tears?
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Chen, utterly shaken, and could not help speaking.
"Then that means Little Chen's Martial Soul... will become the most terrifying Support Spirit on the entire continent, perhaps even a Mutated Spirit surpassing our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
"If it must be described by a name, then it is..."
"The continent's number one Support Spirit!"
"Nine Spirits Begonia!!!"
