Mysterious Origins

Douluo Continent, southwest of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Earth Three Sects, Nine Hearts Begonia Sect.

In the sect's main hall, a six-year-old girl with waterfall-like blue hair, deep-blue eyes, and a suit of black clothes looked faintly expectant and uneasy.

At the same time, there were two middle-aged men with extraordinary auras in the hall, and their expressions also seemed extremely expectant.

The one in charge of the Martial Soul Awakening was a beautiful woman of around forty, likewise with blue hair and blue eyes, bearing an extremely close resemblance to the girl.

Clearly, this beautiful woman was the girl's mother.

The beautiful woman had already finished preparing for the awakening. She spread her hands, and along with a faint fragrance, a pink Begonia Flower blossomed between them.

Nine petals, made up of white and pink, were incomparably gorgeous, the flower's form graceful and beautiful.

At once, a yearning light bloomed in the girl's beautiful blue eyes.

The two middle-aged men also felt solemn respect rise in them.

Because the beautiful woman's martial soul was the Nine Hearts Begonia! The only owner of the Nine Hearts Begonia martial soul on the Douluo Continent.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was publicly known as the strongest auxiliary martial soul on the Douluo Continent, but the Nine Hearts Begonia was originally the strongest auxiliary martial soul. However, it could only have one disciple, so its fame was far inferior to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The Nine Hearts Begonia could only have one inheritor in each generation. At the same time, there could only be two Nine Hearts Begonia Soul Masters alive. Only when one died could another possibly appear among the descendants. It could be said to be the martial soul with the smallest number.

The Nine Hearts Begonia specialized in only one ability. No matter how many Soul Rings it had, it had only one Soul Skill, and this was precisely what made it terrifying. Its effect was—area-wide group healing! The degree of healing was controlled according to the Soul Master's will. The higher the level and the more Soul Rings, the more soul power could be used for healing.

As long as a Nine Hearts Begonia Soul Master was providing support, dying was difficult even if one wanted to, so the Nine Hearts Begonia Sect was also known as the Undying Nine Hearts Begonia.

"Mom... can I awaken the Nine Hearts Begonia martial soul?" Lingling asked uneasily.

The beautiful woman smiled gently and said, "You definitely will."

As she spoke, golden points of light drifted out of the black round stones prepared on the ground and entered Lingling's body.

"Lingling, stretch out your right hand." A trace of expectation and nervousness could also be heard in the beautiful woman's voice.

Lingling nodded and stretched out her right hand.

At once, all the golden points of light in her right hand surged out. In an instant, a white-and-pink Begonia Flower appeared in her palm.

"Wonderful! Lingling has the Nine Hearts Begonia martial soul!"

Seeing the martial soul in Lingling's hand, the beautiful woman was very happy, and inwardly let out a long breath of relief.

The two middle-aged men at the side were also delighted. In the future, the Nine Hearts Begonia Sect would once again have two Nine Hearts Begonia Soul Masters.

Afterward, they tested her soul power. The beautiful woman felt gratified and satisfied; her daughter's Talent was good, with innate rank-eight soul power.

After leaving the main hall, the two middle-aged men smiled and said, "Congratulations, Sect Master."

The gentleness originally on the beautiful woman's face was replaced by a sinister look as she walked out of the main hall.

"This was within expectations too. After all, that woman was killed by us six years ago, and her child died in the womb as well."

"For her to be together with that so-called 'person' who was more human than us was a very foolish decision, but for you, it was also fortunate. Otherwise, if she hadn't died, the one who had to be sacrificed would have been you."

"Heh, yes." Jealousy flowed through the beautiful woman's eyes. "Innate Full Soul Power. She originally had hopes of becoming the youngest female Titled Douluo, but unfortunately, she went down the wrong path."

The next day.

Southwest of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Fasno Province, Holy Soul Village.

The sky had only just begun to brighten, still a stretch of pale blue. In the blink of an eye, a rosy glow appeared in the east, slowly expanding, and before long, it had dyed a small half of the sky red.

Inside Holy Soul Village, a six-year-old boy walked out of the village.

The boy had black clothes and black hair, and his looks were delicate and adorable, his face full of childishness. Yet his build carried a sturdiness that did not match others his age.

After leaving the village, the boy ran into another boy of the same age who was preparing to return to the village.

The boy wore simple, clean clothes, had neat short black hair, and his skin showed a healthy wheat color.

The boy returning to the village smiled and greeted him. "Ye Yu, are you going to temper yourself under the waterfall again?"

"Mm." Ye Yu smiled and nodded.

"Really amazing," Tang San praised.

Ye Yu said, "You get up even earlier than I do every day."

The two chatted for a few sentences, then each went their own way. Ye Yu walked toward a small mountain waterfall outside the village.

In Tang San's eyes as he left, there was a light of approval that should not have appeared in someone his age. He muttered to himself, "At six years old, he really isn't ordinary. His physical strength far surpasses others his age. Even the current me can't do it. He really is a monster."

After muttering to himself, Tang San's face once again revealed a helpless expression that did not fit his age.

"It's been three months, yet my Mysterious Heaven Skill still can't break through the first bottleneck. Why on earth is that? The Purple Demon Eye, which can only be cultivated in the early morning, has been improving all this time, but the Mysterious Heaven Skill can't break through its bottleneck."

Tang San's brows furrowed slightly, then he sighed softly. "Perhaps it's because this world is different from my original world."

At this moment, Ye Yu approached the waterfall. From the loud, splashing sound of water, one could hear that the current was swift and turbulent.

What Tang San did not know was that Ye Yu was likewise not of this world.

Ye Yu knew everything about Tang San, and was also a transmigrator. Tang San got up every day before the sun had risen in order to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye.

Although he knew, Ye Yu naturally would not say so, and simply acted as if he did not know.

Ye Yu came from Earth China. After finishing the Douluo Continent novel, he slept, and when he woke up, he discovered that he had arrived in the world of Douluo Continent, transmigrating into a baby.

At the time, his consciousness had still been hazy. It wasn't until he was two that he became fully aware.

He had been found outside the village by Grandpa Jack, the village chief of Holy Soul Village. As a transmigrator, he had still yet to receive any so-called cheat.

Ye Yu had originally thought that when he turned six, he might awaken a Waste Martial Soul, become an unknown ordinary person, and live out a plain life. After all, in this world, among those born as commoners, it was rare for even one in ten to have a decent martial soul.

However, when he was three, Ye Yu discovered that his body and strength were naturally far beyond ordinary people's. They were several times that of his peers, even stronger than ordinary adults. This made Ye Yu realize that he was not ordinary.

Without a cheat, he was still extraordinary. Then was it because of his parents? Was that what made him different from ordinary people?

He had asked Old Jack about it before. Jack said that when he saw him, he hadn't seen any of his family nearby, and knew nothing at all about any other information concerning him.

Old Jack also often stopped him from going beneath the waterfall to train, telling him to settle down and be an ordinary person. This made Ye Yu realize that Old Jack must be hiding something. As the village chief, Old Jack always hoped the children in the village would make something of themselves. Not to mention, Ye Yu was practically Old Jack's family.

Ye Yu was certain that Old Jack definitely knew something.

Ye Yu looked forward to it inwardly. "In three days, the village will hold the Martial Soul Awakening ceremony. When the time comes, I'll see just what my martial soul is!"
