Hearing this familiar voice, Ye Qingzhou looked up to see a young girl who shared a three-part resemblance to him, and he was ecstatic.
"Sister Lingling, why are you back?"
The "Sister Lingling" in Ye Qingzhou's mouth was naturally the girl before him, the child of his mother's sister.
Seven years his senior, she was a student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and a two-ring Soul Grand Master of the healing system.
Her Martial Soul was naturally the Nine Heart Begonia inherited by their lineage.
Seeing Ye Qingzhou's childlike smile, Ye Lingling chuckled softly: "Tomorrow is your Martial Soul awakening ceremony; as your sister, I naturally had to come back."
"Are you prepared?"
"Of course." Ye Qingzhou nodded, his eyes exceptionally earnest. "I am confident; my Innate Soul Power will be at least level eight."
Having transmigrated here six years ago, he had neither a system nor the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Relying on the supplements provided by his grandfather, the quality of the Nine Heart Begonia, and the physical fitness gained from daily exercise, level eight or nine was already his limit.
Unless a miracle occurred.
Ye Shuyuan, walking out from the clinic, looked at the siblings chatting happily and smiled:
"Lingling, take that basket full of cordyceps and put it inside the clinic."
"Alright, Grandfather." Ye Lingling nodded in response, walked to the right side of the clinic entrance, and carried the basket of cordyceps inside.
Ye Qingzhou did not remain idle; at the right entrance, besides cordyceps, there were also ginseng, velvet antler, ganoderma, and other medicinal herbs.
These were all collected by Ye Shuyuan alone, who had traveled across more than half the region to gather them.
The next morning, at dawn.
Inside the Ye Family Clinic.
Ye Shuyuan, Ye Lingling, and Ye Qingzhou stood in the center of the clinic.
In front of Ye Qingzhou was a hexagonal hexagram array engraved on the floor.
Besides the hexagram array, there were the awakening stones in Ye Shuyuan's hands.
Without either of these two items, the Martial Soul awakening could not be completed.
His awakening process would be handled entirely by Ye Shuyuan himself, so there was no need to go to a Martial Soul Hall institution.
Furthermore, in a national capital like Tiandou City, the Martial Soul Hall branch was essentially just for show—a total mascot.
Ye Shuyuan stroked his beard and spoke in a very slow tone: "Relax, don't feel nervous; walk into the array."
He guided Ye Qingzhou step by step to the center of the hexagram array.
Ye Qingzhou reached the middle of the array and looked at Ye Shuyuan: "I'm not nervous, Grandfather."
Though he said that, he was incredibly nervous inside.
As a transmigrator, he had fantasized long before arriving here about awakening his Martial Soul, beating up the "little scoundrel," having beauties by his side, becoming a god, and unifying the world.
But now that he had truly transmigrated, those thoughts had all been shattered. Upon awakening, he would either inherit his mother's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul or the Martial Soul of his father, which had never appeared in their family before.
Yet, no matter how he asked, his grandfather would never tell him anything about his father.
It was as if he were deliberately hiding it.
However, he leaned more toward the latter.
There was an unspoken rule in the world of Soul Masters: support-type Soul Masters must marry power-attack-type Soul Masters.
Romance between two support-type Soul Masters was a big no-no.
Otherwise, they would have no ability to protect themselves; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was a prime example of this.
Seeing Ye Qingzhou reach the center of the array, Ye Shuyuan's soul power surged, and a majestic aura poured out as a pink begonia flower floated in his hand.
Nine optimal soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—appeared one by one at Ye Shuyuan's feet.
The aura of life enveloped the entire clinic.
He threw six pitch-black stones, which landed on the six points of the hexagram array.
A wisp of emerald-green soul power emerged from Ye Shuyuan's palm like a thread, transforming into six strands that injected into the black stones.
The moment the soul power was injected, the hexagram array released a brilliant light that engulfed Ye Qingzhou.
Ye Lingling's eyes remained fixed on Ye Qingzhou, her gaze filled with concern for him.
As the light flashed, Ye Qingzhou felt his body grow warm; the gentle aura caused his previously tense body to relax instantly.
His left hand involuntarily turned palm-up.
Emerald-green soul power appeared in his palm.
Ye Shuyuan watched the changes occurring in Ye Qingzhou's hand with extreme seriousness: "This is..."
The next second, the emerald-green soul power burst open, and a translucent Magnolia flower with nine layered petals, appearing as if carved from mutton-fat jade, manifested in Ye Qingzhou's palm.
Seeing this, Ye Shuyuan widened his eyes, his expression one of shock:
"This... this is the Magnolia, the gentleman among flowers."
"A top-tier plant-type Martial Soul!"
Even a Titled Douluo like him could never have imagined that the inherited Martial Soul of their Ye family line would mutate into the Magnolia, one of the legendary Four Gentlemen of Flowers!
The quality of the Magnolia was in no way inferior to the Nine Heart Begonia.
Could it be because of the Martial Soul of little Zhou's father...
At this moment, he thought of Ye Qingzhou's father.
He had assumed it would end there, but it was not over yet.
On Ye Qingzhou's right hand, a white ripple of soul power was condensing.
This ripple of soul power carried an innate, sacred aura.
Behind Ye Qingzhou, the silhouette of a humanoid Martial Soul descended out of thin air.
This humanoid Martial Soul was quite peculiar; it possessed a pair of angel wings that only the Angel Martial Soul lineage could have, and it radiated the divine brilliance unique to the Angel Martial Soul.
The appearance of these two Martial Souls—the Magnolia and the Angel—left Ye Shuyuan and Ye Lingling, who were present, stunned.
"Twin Martial Souls!"
In history, in history, a third Twin Martial Soul had appeared!
And the holder of this third Twin Martial Soul was his own grandson/brother!
The level of shock was no less than if the weakest Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo, had suddenly leaped to become a leader among Titled Douluos.
They had never expected that an Angel Martial Soul could coexist with a plant-type Martial Soul.
And upon seeing this Angel Martial Soul, Ye Shuyuan immediately thought of Ye Qingzhou's father.
Ye Qingzhou stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the Magnolia in his hand and the Angel—the Prayer Angel—behind him.
He could understand the Magnolia; they were both plant-type Martial Souls.
It was perfectly logical for the Nine Heart Begonia to mutate into a Magnolia with nine overlapping petals.
But what was the situation with this Angel Martial Soul?
His father, whom he had never met, couldn't possibly be Qian Xunji, could he!
Damn it, if that were really the case, wouldn't the sky just collapse!
His brain was already at its limit, truly.
Suddenly.
A divine light descended upon the medical clinic from the sky without any warning.
The divine light pierced through the dome of the clinic and landed on Ye Qingzhou.
The divine light was so dazzling that even someone as strong as the Titled Douluo Ye Shuyuan could not look directly at it, let alone Ye Lingling.
"This power, it's so strong..." Even the knowledgeable Ye Shuyuan could not find any words to describe the divine light that enveloped Ye Qingzhou.
