Soul Master: Black Hole Martial Soul, Inheriting the God of Destruction's Legacy at the Start

At the thought, Yang Wuhui took a deep breath and suppressed the thoughts churning inside him.

"Ziyuan, since you're the inheritor of a god, you should know the contents of your God Trial, right?"

"Yeah. My First Trial is to raise my Soul Power Level to Soul Elder within two years, and my Soul Ring can't be less than 3,000 years old!"

"What? Reach Soul Elder within two years? And your Soul Ring can't be less than 3,000 years old? Son, do you know that the limit for a Soul Elder absorbing a Soul Ring is only 1,760 years? A 3,000-year Soul Ring is already the fourth Soul Ring for most Soul Ancestors!"

Yang Tianyu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help exclaiming when he heard Yang Ziyuan's words.

Soul Masters might cultivate quickly in the early stages, but surely there were limits to how far they could push it?

A cultivation speed this outrageous was beyond the reach of anyone in the entire Soul Master World—not to mention even those lofty gods, surely?

Yang Ziyuan, however, didn't seem to care. He said calmly, "Dad, what's the big deal? Compared to a godhood, these things are insignificant! Besides, my Soul Power Level will definitely rise after I obtain a Soul Ring. As for the Soul Ring, I have my own way!"

"What way? You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you think you can go hunt Soul Beasts? It's more likely the Soul Beasts will tear you apart!"

Hearing Yang Ziyuan's words, Yang Tianyu rolled his eyes.

This child really was such a handful.

"Enough, enough! The most pressing matter is to get Ziyuan his first and Second Soul Rings. As for the God Trial, we'll talk about it after I get back!"

"Yes!"

A day later, a carriage raced along the main road leading to the docks of Vast Sea City.

"Son, have you decided what kind of Soul Beasts you want for your first and Second Soul Rings?"

Inside the carriage, Yang Tianyu looked at Yang Ziyuan beside him and asked with concern.

Yang Ziyuan shook his head. "I haven't found any suitable Soul Beasts yet, but my Black Hole Martial Soul has a powerful devouring ability, so I want to look for Sea Spirit Beasts with devouring attributes!"

"Sea Spirit Beasts with devouring attributes? That'll be difficult!"

Yang Tianyu furrowed his brows and began to ponder.

Although there were many kinds of Sea Spirit Beasts, most of them had water attributes.

As for Sea Spirit Beasts with special attributes, they either lived in groups in the deep sea or had long since been hunted to extinction by Soul Masters.

That made hunting Sea Spirit Beasts with devouring attributes many times more difficult!

"Dad, what's wrong? Are you not strong enough? Maybe we should wait until Grandpa gets back before we go hunting Soul Beasts?"

Hearing his own son question him, Yang Tianyu immediately bristled.

"You little brat, what are you talking about? Your dad is a level 67 Soul Emperor, after all! It's just the deep sea. We'll go if we have to. Who's afraid?"

Yang Ziyuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

His father was only a Soul Emperor, but there were plenty of hundred-thousand-year-old Sea Spirit Beasts in the deep sea!

If his dad lost his life because of one careless mistake, it wouldn't be worth it!

"Dad, it's not that I don't believe in your strength, but I've heard that the Sea Spirit Beasts in the deep sea are all pretty powerful. Besides, wouldn't taking me along as dead weight hold you back?"

"That's a fair point!"

Yang Tianyu's attitude softened a little when his son gave him a way out.

After all, Yang Ziyuan's future was tied to the prosperity of the Yang Family. If anything happened to him because of Yang Tianyu, he'd become a sinner for all time in the Yang Family's eyes!

"Then let's go back!"

Yang Ziyuan wasn't upset that he hadn't obtained a Soul Ring. On the contrary, he was quite happy.

After all, he only had one life.

Now that he had inherited the Destruction God King's legacy, he naturally had to play it safe.

Although he hadn't obtained a Soul Ring, it didn't stop him from continuing to cultivate.

The Soul Power he accumulated through cultivation would manifest all at once after he obtained a Soul Ring!

However, to his surprise, Yang Tianyu changed his mind again!

"No, no!"

"???"

"Your grandfather went to the Star Luo Empire, and he still has to discuss matters with those people there. Who knows how long he'll be gone? If you want him to help you hunt Soul Beasts, you'll have to wait at least a few months! With that much time, you could ask your maternal grandmother to help you instead!"

His dad was right.

Who knew how long they'd have to wait for Yang Wuhui to return? Was he supposed to go without a Soul Ring for as long as his grandfather stayed away?

Besides, his maternal grandmother was a Soul Douluo, so she was probably just as capable.

That meant he didn't need to worry about getting hurt.

"Then... all right!"

Yang Ziyuan sighed and finally nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry. Your maternal grandmother knows about your situation! Before your grandfather left home, he asked her to look after you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you go to her!"

Seeing that Yang Ziyuan seemed reluctant, Yang Tianyu assumed he was worried about exposing his talent and quickly reassured him.

"Oh, I see. Then I don't need to worry!"

Yang Ziyuan relaxed, cursing himself inwardly for overthinking.

Ever since he'd transmigrated, he'd been constantly worrying about everything. It was giving him a headache!

Three days later, Yang Ziyuan and the others finally set off on their journey to the deep sea.

Along the way, Yang Ziyuan learned some shocking news: his maternal grandmother, Shui Wuyue, was actually the dean of Skywater Academy!

For a moment, Yang Ziyuan didn't know what to make of it.

"Son, what do you think? This is the biggest ship in the Yang Family—Vajra! It's also a Soul Tool, and its defenses can withstand attacks from Sea Spirit Beasts under ten thousand years old!"

Yang Tianyu stood on the deck, brimming with excitement as he introduced Vajra to Yang Ziyuan.

Yang Ziyuan couldn't help shaking his head.

He seriously suspected this was his dad's first time going out to sea. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so excited.

Just then, Shui Wuyue came over with a smile.

"Ziyuan, which academy are you planning to attend after you obtain your Soul Ring?"

"Uh, Grandma, you know I'm only six, so of course I'll go to a junior academy. But given my situation, the family will probably have me study at home."

"Haha, of course I know. With the Yang Family's resources, teaching you at home won't be difficult. But I meant to ask what you plan to do after that. Why not come visit Grandma's Skywater Academy? Let me tell you, there are lots of pretty girls at the academy! With our Ziyuan's looks, you'll have no trouble finding a girlfriend!"

Shui Wuyue smiled, then turned her gaze toward Yang Ziyuan.

Yang Ziyuan froze. He never expected Shui Wuyue to be inviting him to join Skywater Academy!

Why was everything different when it came to him?

Before Yang Ziyuan could say anything, Yang Tianyu beside him couldn't sit still.

"Mom, isn't it a little early to talk about this? Why don't we wait until my father gets back, then the two of you can discuss it?"

Shui Wuyue rolled her eyes at that.

By the time that old Yang Wuhui got back, there'd be nothing left for her to decide.

Her only chance was to settle the matter before the old man returned!

Otherwise, how could Skywater Academy compete with the others in the next-but-one Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament?

Although she already had promising students like Shui Bing'er, she knew that the few of them alone wouldn't be enough to win the championship.

So she had no choice but to resort to this!

She believed that if Yang Ziyuan agreed to join Skywater Academy, then they would definitely win the next-but-one Soul Master Tournament!

After all, she'd never heard of anyone with an Innate Soul Power of level twenty!

Besides, the next-but-one Soul Master Tournament was still eight years away.

At the thought, she couldn't even imagine how strong Yang Ziyuan would be eight years from now!

Just as she was about to persuade Yang Ziyuan, a fin suddenly appeared on the distant sea.

"Dad, look! What's that?"

Yang Ziyuan cried out when he spotted the fin on the water.

Yang Tianyu hurriedly followed the direction of his pointing finger. He saw a group of huge, black shapes swimming rapidly toward them!

"Not good! It's a pack of Evil Spirit Orcas!"
