Rewards Erupt, Fourth Soul Ring Reaches Ten Thousand Years!

"Good grief. No wonder everyone keeps taking shots at this Pope. Listening to this makes me want to say a few things too."

Ye Lingling muttered to herself inwardly, gaining an entirely new understanding of the atmosphere in the group. Much of her initial nervousness also faded.

She had originally thought this mysterious Chat Group was a strictly regulated organization, but now it seemed more like a lively tea party full of ordinary warmth.

Still, the group members' reverence for the group leader was undoubtedly genuine.

That only made Ye Lingling even more curious about the group leader's methods.

In the middle of the tree-lined path, Chen Feng withdrew his thoughts and decided to throw another log onto the fire, completely igniting the atmosphere in the group.

Group Leader: [Since we're talking about the newcomer, I might as well mention this.]

Group Leader: [The newcomer's martial soul is the Nine-Heart Begonia. In a sense, this martial soul can be called the continent's number one support-type martial soul.]

Group Leader: [Unfortunately, the Nine-Heart Begonia's effects are simply too heaven-defying, so it incurred the heavens' fear and curse.]

Group Leader: [In every generation, no more than two Nine-Heart Begonia possessors can exist in the world at the same time. Only when one dies can another be born.]

As soon as this message appeared, the previously noisy group chat instantly fell silent. One could hear a falling leaf.

Within Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly. The anger in her eyes gradually receded, replaced by a trace of confusion.

"Nine-Heart Begonia? I've heard of this martial soul before. Its extreme healing ability truly is terrifying. I never expected it to have such a restriction."

Bibi Dong pondered inwardly, deeply perplexed. At the same time, her wariness toward the group leader's omniscience and omnipotence deepened.

Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong sat on the bed in her dormitory, staring at the message sent by the group leader. She could not help crying out in surprise.

"Nine-Heart Begonia?"

Ning Rongrong muttered to herself, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

"I once heard Father mention it. This martial soul is extremely rare. If there were more of them, the title of number one support martial soul probably wouldn't belong to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Ning Rongrong was utterly shocked. She hurriedly spoke in the group, wanting to uncover more secrets.

Little Witch: [Group Leader Brother, is the Nine-Heart Begonia really that powerful? With such extreme healing ability, wouldn't someone recover instantly as long as they still had a breath left?]

Loves Carrots: [My heavens, there's actually such a miraculous martial soul in the world? But this curse is far too cruel. Only two people can live in each generation?]

Fragrant Fox: [The Group Leader suddenly brought this up... could the new little sister truly be a Nine-Heart Begonia inheritor? Wouldn't that mean she carries a very painful fate?]

On the tree-lined path, Ye Lingling stood utterly frozen in place as the Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul in her hand quietly dissipated.

"The group leader even knows the greatest secret of the Nine-Heart Begonia line..."

A storm surged in Ye Lingling's heart, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Other than the core members of the Nine-Heart Begonia Clan, outsiders could never possibly know this secret.

Moreover, Ye Lingling was certain that Chen Feng had deliberately said it for her to hear.

The Nine-Heart Begonia line had always been passed down through a single heir in every generation. Each inheritor had to watch beloved family members pass away with their own eyes. That pain was like a disease clinging to the bone, tormenting every successor.

Ye Lingling thought of her mother and the bleak final years of the elders in her clan.

This fate had awakened Ye Lingling from countless nightmares in the dead of night.

If this curse could be broken, the Nine-Heart Begonia line would rise completely.

"The omniscient and omnipotent group leader must have a way to solve this curse!"

A flame of unprecedented hope ignited in Ye Lingling's eyes, and her once indifferent gaze became full of longing.

For her clan, and so she would no longer have to endure the pain of single-heir succession and the successive deaths of her loved ones, Ye Lingling decided to take a gamble.

Mute Little Sister: [I beg you, Group Leader, please save our clan!]

Mute Little Sister: [As long as you can help me resolve the Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul curse, Ye Lingling is willing to pay any price and serve you for the rest of her life!]

As soon as the message was sent, the group exploded. Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Little Witch: [My heavens, the new little sister really is a Nine-Heart Begonia inheritor!]

My Cat Is White and Big: [Willing to pay any price... she truly has great resolve.]

Loves Carrots: [Little sister is so pitiful. Group Leader Brother, hurry and help her. This curse is far too cruel.]

Dugu Yan looked at the messages in the group, then turned to look at Ye Lingling, who stood not far away with a constantly changing expression.

"Ye Lingling..."

Dugu Yan cried out inwardly, frozen where she stood.

"Mute Little Sister... Nine-Heart Begonia... how could there be such a coincidence in the world!"

"This Mute Little Sister is definitely Ye Lingling!"

Dugu Yan's heart churned like stormy seas. Her gaze toward Ye Lingling was filled with shock and disbelief.

At that moment, a crisp system notification suddenly rang out in Chen Feng's mind.

[Ding! Group activity has reached a temporary peak. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained an Activity Gift Pack!]

Chen Feng's thoughts stirred as he connected with the system deep within his mind.

"System, open the Activity Gift Pack."

A crisp notification instantly rang out in his mind.

"Ding!"

"The Gift Pack has been opened."

"Congratulations, Host. Your innate soul power has increased by five levels."

"Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a Three-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring duration reward."

A warm energy rose from his lower abdomen and instantly spread through his limbs and bones.

When his martial soul had awakened, his innate full soul power had been level ten.

Now, with the system's additional five-level reward, it was equivalent to the heaven-defying talent of innate level fifteen.

The circulation speed of his soul power abruptly increased, while his meridians became broader as well.

Within his sea of consciousness, the Azure Lotus Sword trembled slightly.

The azure lotus patterns on the sword became more intricate, and a faint immortal aura seeped out.

"Innate level fifteen... this means my cultivation limit and potential have already surpassed the limits of mortals."

Chen Feng muttered to himself inwardly.

Next, Chen Feng turned his attention to the Three-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring duration.

He currently possessed four Soul Rings.

His first, second, and third Soul Rings had already been fixed.

His fourth Soul Ring was at the seven-thousand-year level.

"System, apply the Three-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring duration to my fourth Soul Ring."

Chen Feng issued the command inwardly.

Buzz.

A purple Soul Ring quietly emerged in the void, pulsing around his body.

As the system's power poured in, the purple Soul Ring trembled violently.

Its originally noble purple gradually deepened, and black began spreading from its edges.

In only a few moments, the entire Soul Ring had completely transformed into a deep, mysterious black.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

His fourth Soul Ring had successfully crossed that barrier and advanced to the ten-thousand-year level.

Powerful energy flowed back into his body, and Chen Feng only felt the soul power within him surge endlessly like great rivers.

At that moment, the power of his fourth soul skill underwent a qualitative leap.

Chen Feng gently clenched his fist, and a faint explosive crack sounded in the air.

"Now, I'm stronger than before."
