The Talents Joining the Night Temple! Ye Lingling's Surprising Change

Dugu Yan was overjoyed. "Eh! The Hall Master is back!"

"Everyone, hurry over and gather!"

The children immediately ran over.

Dugu Bo said, "My lord, these are the children we recruited during this period. Including Yanyan, there are ten of them, all with Innate Soul Power at rank 8. Rank 9 is too rare; this subordinate truly couldn't find any."

"It's no matter. Innate rank 9 is something one can only hope to encounter." Qian Xunye wanted to see what Martial Souls these children possessed. "Introduce yourselves."

A seven-year-old girl dressed in exotic clothing, with a somewhat bewitching air about her, stepped forward first. "Hall Master, I... I'm Meng Yiran. My Martial Soul is the Serpent Cane, and my Soul Power is currently rank 11."

"??"

Qian Xunye froze. "Meng Yiran? Serpent Cane Martial Soul? Well, damn..."

"Little girl, are you Chao Tianxiang's granddaughter?"

"Huh? Hall Master, do you know my grandfather and grandmother?" Meng Yiran was also a little stunned.

"So it really is."

Qian Xunye smiled. "The Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple are renowned throughout the Soul Master world. Naturally, I've heard of them."

The Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple consisted of Duke Dragon and Serpent Granny.

Although one was a Soul Sage and the other a Soul Emperor, they possessed a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill that could contend against Title Douluo. They were also major figures in the Soul Master world.

"Dugu Bo, you actually recruited the granddaughter of the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent couple? That old couple was willing?"

Dugu Bo smiled. "My lord, the publicity gimmick you provided was simply too enticing. Once I told the old couple that letting their granddaughter join the Night Temple meant she could become a Title Douluo in the future, they quickly agreed."

"Is that so? Interesting. Let's see what other surprises there are."

The children stepped forward one by one to introduce themselves.

"Hall Master, my name is Huo Ling'er. My Martial Soul is the Fire Spirit Sparrow, and my Soul Power is currently rank 14."

Qian Xunye carefully examined her Fire Spirit Sparrow Martial Soul, and his expression shifted slightly. "Fire Spirit Sparrow... Its flames are extremely intense. There even seems to be a trace of Vermilion Bird bloodline hidden within her Martial Soul! This girl has decent potential too."

"Hall Master, my name is Jin Tian. My Martial Soul is the Vajra Tiger, and my Soul Power is currently rank 14."

"The Vajra Tiger is also a fairly powerful tiger-type Martial Soul. This kid is not bad either." Qian Xunye nodded to himself.

Soon, it was the turn of a pair of nine-year-old twin brothers. "Hall Master, we brothers are called Shi Mo and Shi Mo. Our Martial Souls are Black Tortoise, and our Soul Power is currently rank 17."

"Oh? Shi Mo and Shi Mo? Aren't they future core members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's first team?" Qian Xunye grinned.

These two were quite good!

At the tournament, they would be twenty-one years old and rank 41 Soul Ancestors. More importantly, their Black Tortoise Martial Souls possessed extremely strong defense, arguably no weaker than the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul.

With proper cultivation, they would surely become powerful defense-type Title Douluo in the future.

Soon, all the children had finished introducing themselves, leaving only the last seven-year-old girl.

She was very quiet and seemed introverted, not fond of speaking. The little girl said softly, "Hall Master, my name is Ye Lingling. My Martial Soul is the Nine-Heart Begonia, and my Soul Power is currently rank 11."

"The Ye Clan, Nine-Heart Begonia, Ye Lingling!" Qian Xunye was delighted. Laughing, he said, "Haha, Dugu Bo, not bad! You even brought me this kind of surprise."

Ye Lingling was likewise a core member of Heaven Dou's first team in the original story.

And the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul was extraordinarily rare!

This Martial Soul was passed down through a single bloodline. Only one Nine-Heart Begonia wielder could exist in each generation, and its Martial Soul was extremely special. No matter how many Soul Rings it possessed, it only had one Soul Skill: area-wide group healing.

They were the strongest healing-type Soul Masters!

If Ye Lingling could be cultivated into a Title Douluo, she would become an incredibly terrifying healer.

In large-scale group battles, a Soul Master like this would be immensely useful, far surpassing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

Dugu Bo scratched his head awkwardly. "Heh, my lord, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Ye Lingling weren't actually recruited by me. It was Yanyan."

"Hehe, that's right, Hall Master. It was all Yanyan's doing." Dugu Yan looked a little smug.

Qian Xunye smiled and stroked her head. "Well done."

Dugu Yan must have used the power of the Dark Night Mark in front of them. When Ye Lingling and the others saw it, they wanted that power as well, so they joined.

These nine were all fairly good. They were qualified.

"Come, children. I will now bestow upon you the power of the Night Temple!"

Qian Xunye immediately acted and planted Dark Night Marks in them.

Remaining slots: 73.

After receiving the powerful force, the nine children were all extremely happy. They released the power of their Dark Night Marks one after another, and their strength surged!

Ye Lingling suddenly cried out excitedly, "A Soul Skill! Hall Master, I... my Nine-Heart Begonia seems to have gained another Soul Skill!"

"Oh? Use it and let me see."

"Nine-Heart Begonia! Dark Night Nine-Heart Heal!"

Ye Lingling immediately unleashed her newly acquired skill on the patch of Blue Silver Grass ahead.

A great number of black begonia petals fell from the sky.

That patch of Blue Silver Grass instantly withered, getting healed to death on the spot!

"This... poisonous... poisonous healing!?" Qian Xunye looked astonished.

The Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul possessed extremely powerful healing abilities and could quickly heal severely injured teammates.

If it had poisonous healing capabilities, then couldn't it also quickly heal an entire group of enemies to death?

Moreover, under the enhancement of Dark Night power, Ye Lingling's healing ability had clearly become even stronger.

"Wait, Hall Master, my... my Nine-Heart Begonia seems to have gained an effect that restores Soul Power!" Ye Lingling was utterly shocked.

"What!!"

"It can restore Soul Power!?"

Everyone present was stunned.

The Nine-Heart Begonia could only heal injuries; it did not actually have the effect of restoring Soul Power.

Now that it had gained the ability to restore Soul Power, this support ability had become extremely terrifying.

Once she entered the realm of Title Douluo in the future, she would likely be able to instantly bring a group of powerful experts on the brink of death, with their Soul Power completely exhausted, back to life!

A treasure girl! Ye Lingling must be cultivated as a priority! Qian Xunye thought to himself.

He said, "Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, are you two willing to take me as your master and become my personal disciples?"

The two girls exchanged a glance. "We are willing!"

"Dugu Yan!"

"Ye Lingling!"

"Greetings, Master!"

"Good. Get up, both of you." Qian Xunye gestured for them to rise, then said to Meng Yiran and the other eight talents, "You may also join my ranks as my named disciples."

"Yes, Master!"

Qian Xunye would properly cultivate this first batch. They would not lack Whale Rubber or immortal herb resources.

That was the treatment for the first batch. Those who came later would have to undergo assessment.

Qian Xunye immediately had them consume Whale Rubber, and their physiques instantly improved greatly!

As for immortal herb resources, their realms were still too low for them to take them immediately. The medicinal properties of immortal herbs were extremely potent, and at their current levels, they could easily fail to endure them after consuming them.

"Alright, children, continue cultivating."

"Yes, Master!"

The ten of them were filled with fighting spirit, and they began to look forward to the future.

Next, it was Long Potian's turn. Qian Xunye intended to forge him into a powerful Title Douluo. With immortal herbs invested in him, his strength in the early stages of his future would definitely not be inferior to Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, or Dugu Bo.

Qian Xunye said, "Long Potian, come with me."
