Whether he was an orphan or not, once he possessed Innate Full Soul Power and a dragon-type Martial Soul, he was a genius.
And as long as he was a genius, the Spirit Pagoda needed him—desperately, even.
Under such circumstances, being an orphan was actually a good thing.
Although having no family made him harder to control, his background was equally clean.
The man thought to himself, an uncommon trace of embarrassment appearing in his smile. After all, with an Innate Full Soul Power genius emerging, he would receive a share of the commission as well.
Just as he was about to offer the boy a few words of encouragement, he discovered that Chen Ye had not moved. Instead, he was staring blankly straight ahead.
Within his spiritual sea, Chen Ye looked at the white giant dragon before him with some confusion.
The giant dragon slowly opened its eyes and gazed back at Chen Ye. As their eyes met, Chen Ye felt the strange sensation of looking at himself.
The feeling was incredibly mysterious, but the changes did not end there.
Something seemed to have appeared in his mind: a city, an abandoned, even desolate city. Its scale was beyond anything Chen Ye could imagine.
Along with that barren land flooding into Chen Ye's mind came a term.
City of Miracles, Leviside.
To Chen Ye, these were words both unfamiliar and strangely familiar. He sensed the phrase that had suddenly appeared in his mind.
Looking at the nearly barren isolated island, Chen Ye's pupils abruptly widened.
"Dragon of Imagination... My awakened Martial Soul is the Dragon of Imagination... That doesn't seem right!"
Chen Ye's eyes widened instinctively, filled with confusion.
But when he sensed the additional power within his body, Chen Ye could no longer remain calm.
Just as he was pondering what this newfound power was, the man's gentle voice sounded beside him.
"Hey, what's wrong, little one? Are you too excited? It isn't easy to gain a chance to change your fate. Hurry and go to the room over there."
"Our Spirit Pagoda will definitely arrange a good place for you!" The man smiled.
But Chen Ye said nothing, merely watching him quietly.
Chen Ye did not care about the man's change in attitude.
No one cared about an orphan, but an Innate Full Soul Power genius with a dragon-type Martial Soul was different.
Chen Ye looked calmly at the man. A faint golden glimmer flickered within his large black eyes.
As his gaze settled on the man, all embarrassment and excitement vanished from the man's face, leaving behind only a trace of emptiness.
A pure white Soul Ring slowly emerged beneath Chen Ye's feet.
It was not an ordinary ten-year Soul Ring, but a peculiar one—flawless, without the slightest impurity or any other color.
"A Soul Ring that came with me? First Soul Skill, Psychological Invisibility. Interesting, but the problem is that it has no offensive power."
Chen Ye's gaze flickered. He looked at the man, his pale golden eyes utterly calm, with no unnecessary emotion on his face.
"Tonight, all the emotions you have accumulated will erupt. You will despair and grieve, and amid the utmost pain, your second personality will awaken."
Chen Ye's voice was soft. As his words fell, the man gently nodded.
Watching him nod, the gold in Chen Ye's eyes slowly faded, returning to pure black pupils.
Without stopping, he headed directly toward the room on the other side.
Hypnosis and control were not abilities he currently possessed. It was only because he had just awakened the Dragon of Imagination Martial Soul that he had briefly gained those abilities.
Now, after implanting that psychological suggestion in the man, the lingering power had completely vanished.
When he entered the room, there was another boy inside besides himself.
That boy was also from the orphanage, but the aunt who accompanied him was different, so Chen Ye did not know his name.
The two boys exchanged a glance, and Chen Ye silently sat down in the back.
As time passed bit by bit, it was nearly half an hour later before a girl entered.
A woman came in with the girl.
She appeared to be only in her twenties.
Her figure was exceptionally voluptuous, with a curvy waist and shapely hips, and she wore a striking red cheongsam.
However, her expression was cold. Her eyes swept over the three of them before she nodded calmly.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda. My name is Leng Yaozhu, and I have come this time to choose one person as my disciple."
"Of the three of you, I will choose only one. Show me your Martial Souls now. Whoever is the most suitable may become my disciple."
Leng Yaozhu's voice was cold. Clearly, taking on a disciple had not been her intention; she had been forced into it by the Qiangu Family.
Thus, she held no particular fondness for these three orphans. The first boy stood up.
Blue lightning coursed over the boy's body, and the phantom of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon appeared behind him.
The girl who had entered before Leng Yaozhu raised her hand, and a light breeze appeared in her palm.
Then, a graceful Wind Bird stood quietly behind her.
Leng Yaozhu glanced at both of them, her attention focusing on the girl.
Since she was destined to take a disciple, Leng Yaozhu naturally wanted someone to her liking, so she favored the girl more.
But just as Leng Yaozhu was about to choose the girl, she suddenly froze, then looked at Chen Ye with confusion.
This boy had been standing there all along without moving, yet she had unconsciously overlooked him.
It was as if he did not exist at all. Whenever she was not paying attention, she would simply ignore him.
"Why aren't you summoning your Martial Soul?" Leng Yaozhu asked coldly.
Hearing her words, Chen Ye froze for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.
"Sorry, Senior. It's my first time seeing such a powerful Martial Soul, so I didn't react right away."
Chen Ye scratched his head. A shy smile hung on the young boy's face, and paired with his delicate features, it made him look like a porcelain doll.
Leng Yaozhu looked at Chen Ye and was absent-minded for an instant.
But in that very instant, a dark golden gleam flowed through Chen Ye's eyes as the Dragon of Imagination Martial Soul silently activated.
Although his innate Soul Skill was Psychological Invisibility, because of the Dragon of Imagination Martial Soul, he inherently possessed the authority belonging to the Dragon of Imagination.
As he raised his hand, a black phoenix softly circled behind him.
The phoenix let out a faint cry as black flames flowed across its body.
"This is the Dark Phoenix Martial Soul. You actually awakened the Dark Phoenix Martial Soul?!" Leng Yaozhu's voice was filled with shock, and she was even stunned for a moment.
Looking at the phoenix covered entirely in black feathers, she fell silent unconsciously.
Because the Dark Phoenix was precisely the Martial Soul possessed by her younger sister. The two had fallen out over a minor conflict, and they had not seen each other for more than ten years.
This was the deepest pain in Leng Yaozhu's heart. Of course, she knew where her younger sister had gone and what she had done.
But she did not dare to look for her, nor could she.
