One Gold Soul Coin for Three Books, the First Soul Master from a Million Years Ago

The moment Sky Screen's voice appeared.

The entire Douluo Continent fell into brief silence.

There was only one thought in countless people's minds.

The first person to answer correctly had appeared!

It also meant that, at last, a contestant capable of receiving a reward had emerged on the third question.

What would the reward for a correct answer be?

How outrageous would it be?

Judging from the rewards Sky Screen had given before.

The reward for answering correctly was definitely the most generous.

It would even be far greater than the rewards given to the characters or soul beasts corresponding to the options.

When contestants answered incorrectly.

Sky Screen had given the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King a hundred thousand years of cultivation, exemption from one Heavenly Tribulation, and the Sea Soul Beast God Position.

It had given Ye Mingzhao five levels of Soul Power and a God King Divinity!

Even when the answer was wrong, the rewards had been this incredible.

What about a correct answer?

The reward was absolutely unimaginable.

"I'm so excited! The first person to answer correctly has appeared!"

"As expected of the Pope's daughter—she's incredibly knowledgeable!"

"That breadth of knowledge is simply unbelievable!"

"Thank goodness. It would've been heartbreaking if such a beautiful woman had been punished."

The commoners cheered.

They celebrated the appearance of the first person to answer correctly.

And because of her identity as the Pope's daughter.

They also viewed Qian Renxue very favorably.

Especially Qian Renxue's dignified bearing, which made people feel comfortable just looking at her.

Naturally, commoners and commoner soul masters were happy that she could receive a reward.

Unlike the commoners, the expressions of the major powers and sects turned exceptionally ugly.

Qian Renxue's talent was already monstrously exceptional.

Now that she had answered correctly.

With Sky Screen's reward, her growth would become terrifying.

She might even become the youngest Title Douluo in history.

Surpassing Tang Hao!

Tang Hao had become a Title Douluo at forty-four.

Qian Renxue, meanwhile, might cross that threshold before she turned thirty.

Spirit Hall's strength was about to experience a terrifying increase.

"Master Ye, it really was Ye Mingzhao?"

Xue Ke widened her eyes in the private room.

She was filled with regret.

She had registered too, and she had planned to give that answer.

But Sky Screen had not chosen her!

That hurt!

Tang Yuehua's eyes gleamed with fascination.

Perhaps throughout Douluo Continent, Ye Mu possessed the most terrifying reserve of knowledge.

He seemed to know the answers to all three questions.

Who exactly was he?

This man was far too mysterious—so mysterious that one could not help but become captivated by him.

"Who else could it be besides Ye Mingzhao?"

Ye Mu smiled faintly.

As for when humanity's first soul master had appeared, he had been personally involved.

He had created the first soul master.

Ye Mingzhao's birth had been rather interesting.

Ye Mu had created him with his own power!

The Undead Race's power of creation was exceedingly terrifying.

When Ye Mingzhao had been born, he had already possessed Soul Power within his body.

It was simply that Ye Mu had not intended for him to become a soul master at the time.

Later, while guarding the Heaven Gate, Ye Mu had grown bored and bestowed Ye Mingzhao with his first soul ring.

Thus, Ye Mingzhao officially became a soul master.

That was how humanity's first soul master had come to be.

Within Blue Tyrant Academy.

When Sky Screen announced that Qian Renxue had answered correctly.

Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned.

Everyone in Blue Tyrant Academy was dumbfounded as well.

At the same time, they felt somewhat fortunate.

Thank goodness, thank goodness!

This time, Sky Screen had not selected anyone from Blue Tyrant Academy.

If they had gone by Yu Xiaogang's answer, they would likely have been punished.

Sky Screen's punishments were exceedingly terrifying.

One wave of punishment might have ruined them for the rest of their lives.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It was obviously Yue Wuhen! Yue Wuhen was the first soul master!"

After an unknown amount of time, he came back to his senses.

But he looked utterly crazed.

Flender felt exhausted to the core.

Three questions in a row, and every single answer had been wrong!

"Xiaogang, where did you find that Secret History of Soul Masters you mentioned?"

Liu Erlong did not feel disappointed.

In her heart, Yu Xiaogang would always be the best.

Getting a few questions wrong did not prove anything.

It only meant Sky Screen's questions were too tricky. It would have been difficult for anyone else to know the answers too.

Qian Renxue had perhaps merely gotten lucky.

Still, thinking of that woman's daughter receiving a reward made her feel quite unhappy.

"That was twenty years ago. I bought it from an old gentleman."

"Bought it?"

Everyone was somewhat stunned.

Could such a precious tome really be bought so casually?

"It was a coincidence back then. An old gentleman appeared before me and said I was someone fated to meet him. He recommended three books to me, and Secret History of Soul Masters was one of them."

"I bought them for one Gold Soul Coin."

"But the contents of two of the books had some problems, so I threw them away."

Yu Xiaogang instinctively recounted what had happened that year.

Everyone's minds buzzed at his words.

Three books for one Gold Soul Coin?

If they had truly been unique copies, how could they possibly have been sold to him for one Gold Soul Coin?

And if two of the books had problems with their contents, how had he dared to trust the authenticity of the remaining one?

That line of thinking was simply beyond comprehension.

Flender could not help rubbing his forehead.

Forget it, forget it.

The origin of soul masters was mysterious to begin with, and hardly anyone knew anything about it.

That Qian Renxue had probably just stumbled onto the answer by chance.

She had gotten ridiculously lucky!

The Far North.

After seeing the correct answer, Snow Empress fell into thought.

"Could that Ye Mingzhao be the Little Ye Teacher mentioned?"

"What Little Ye?"

Ice Empress stood beside her, looking utterly bored.

Neither of the two questions had much to do with soul beasts. So boring!

Snow Empress shook her head slightly.

"Why can you never remember what Teacher says?"

"Teacher said that many years ago, he had guided a human and helped him become a soul master."

"Moreover, that person's first soul ring was a million years old!"

"I had already suspected it during the second question. Now, it seems I was right."

"Teacher was the one who brought about humanity's first soul master."

Ice Empress blinked.

So Teacher was the creator of soul masters?

And under Teacher's creation, that person had even become a level one hundred and fifty God King Level powerhouse?

How terrifying!

"Big Sister, when do you think we'll become gods?"

Bang!

The moment she said that, Snow Empress unhesitatingly chopped her across the forehead.

"Forgot again? Teacher said that those with the Undying Bloodline, whether soul beasts or humans, have no need to become gods."

"We ourselves are already eternal, undying existences."

Ice Empress clutched her forehead. "Wuwuwu~ I know, I know~"

She truly did not understand how her big sister's delicate little hand could pack so much force.

Within the Sky Screen Scroll, the scene appeared once again.

It was still Nirvana Island, still before that Bronze Gate.

And it was still Ye Mingzhao!

Only, the person now standing before Ye Mingzhao was no longer facing away from him.

Instead, he faced Ye Mingzhao directly.

Yet his face was blurry, and neither his appearance nor even his outline could be seen clearly.

It was as though a thin mist covered him.

No matter how hard people tried, they could not see through it.

That person's voice rang out as well, relaxed and cheerful.

"Little Ye, congratulations on becoming humanity's first soul master."

"I'll leave the task of guarding the Heaven Gate to you. Once I finish my business and return, you will have absolute freedom."

Inside Moonlight Pavilion's private room.

Ye Mu's chopsticks paused.

Wait, had he said something like that?

What had he gone to do back then?
