Martial Souls Even Master Didn't Know

The guard was terrified beyond measure and dropped straight to his knees. "It... it's true."

His voice trembled as he pleaded, "I failed to recognize greatness when I saw it. Lord Soul Master, please spare me."

"Get lost." Ye Yu's voice was cold.

"Yes, yes!" As if granted amnesty, the guard hurried away.

Still trembling with fear, the guard felt as though he had survived a disaster. Though they had come from the countryside, as Soul Masters, their status was entirely different. Even if they killed him, there would be no consequences.

After the guard had gone some distance away, Ye Yu said meaningfully, "Xiao San, I'll leave him to you."

Tang San understood. Before long, the guard, who had already fled over a hundred meters away, suddenly collapsed and died. Many bystanders were immediately startled, then quickly gathered around.

Upon closer inspection, they found that a needle had pierced through the guard's throat, blood staining the ground red.

No one knew who had done it, except Ye Yu.

The moment the guard said, "Are you looking to die?" Ye Yu had already placed him on his death list.

If he had not possessed Innate Full Soul Power, or if he had truly been an ordinary country boy, then once he angered that guard, the man would surely have retaliated against him, perhaps even killed him. Therefore, anyone who harbored murderous intent toward him absolutely could not be spared!

Tang San understood Ye Yu's words the moment he heard them. Naturally, he was the one who had killed the guard. If Ye Yu had not appeared earlier, Tang San would have acted himself.

Tang San had used a Tang Sect hidden weapon—the Silent Sleeve Arrow. No one could have detected it.

Just then, Master arrived and introduced himself. "Hello, I'm from this academy. May I take a look at your certificates?"

Old Jack felt that there was something extraordinary about the man before him and handed the certificates to Master.

After glancing at them, Master said, "Leave these two children to me. I'll take them into the academy."

"Alright, thank you." Old Jack expressed his gratitude.

Master led Tang San and Ye Yu into the academy. Tang San asked curiously, "Teacher, what do you teach at this academy?"

Master corrected him, "I'm not a teacher at this academy. You may call me Master."

Ye Yu said, "It seems your status in this academy is quite high, Master. There's a huge difference between being called a master and being called a teacher. To be known as Master, you must possess something exceptional."

Master revealed a rare smile. "What clever children. No matter what, I must be stubborn this once. I want to take both of you as my students."

Tang San asked curiously, "Oh? Is it because we have Innate Full Soul Power? But our martial souls are waste martial souls."

"I'll explain it to you in detail later. Let's go to my office first."

Master led Tang San and Ye Yu through the campus. The students and teachers they passed all showed Master immense respect, bowing to greet him. This made Tang San realize that the Master before him might truly possess something unique.

Before long, they arrived at the office. Master closed the door and said bluntly, "My luck is quite good today. I encountered two Twin Martial Souls at once. You are the third and fourth Twin Martial Souls to appear on this continent in nearly a hundred years."

Tang San's heart jolted. Only his father knew that he had Twin Martial Souls. How did Master know?

At the same time, he looked at Ye Yu in surprise and inwardly sighed, Brother Yu has Twin Martial Souls too?

After his brief surprise, Tang San did not find it strange. After all, Ye Yu's terrifying physique could not possibly have been brought about by the Black Tail Flower.

Seeing the astonishment in Tang San's eyes, Master knew he was right. However, when he looked at Ye Yu, he slightly furrowed his brows.

Ye Yu had not shown any surprise, as if Master had said something wrong.

"Xiao Yu, was I mistaken?" Master believed in his theory, but Ye Yu's expression did not seem feigned.

Ye Yu shook his head. "I don't have Twin Martial Souls. I only have one martial soul."

Ye Yu opened his right hand, and a black begonia flower emerged.

Master was startled at the sight of this martial soul. It was the first time he had ever seen one like it, and he could not even name it.

Though it resembled a Black Tail Flower, he also felt that it was not one.

This stirred Master's intense curiosity. "Xiao Yu, what kind of martial soul is this? Your certificate says your martial soul is the waste martial soul, Black Tail Flower, but I don't think so. Although they are very similar, I believe this is a begonia."

Although the Black Tail Flower was extremely similar to a begonia, Master believed this was a begonia rather than a Black Tail Flower. Yet he had never heard of a begonia-shaped martial soul.

Though he did not know every martial soul, aside from especially rare ones, he knew all the rest.

Ye Yu asked, "Master, have you heard of Nine Hearts Begonia?"

"Nine Hearts Begonia..." Master slightly furrowed his brows. He had never heard of it.

Ye Yu said, "There are currently only two Nine Hearts Begonias on the continent. It is a martial soul possessed only by the Nine Hearts Begonia Sect, one of the Lower Three Sects, much like the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can stand alongside the Clear Sky Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as the Top Three Sects of Douluo Continent because of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, the continent's strongest support-system Tool Martial Soul. Likewise, the strength of the Nine Hearts Begonia Sect lies in the Nine Hearts Begonia."

"The Nine Hearts Begonia Sect can only ever have two owners of the Nine Hearts Begonia martial soul at the same time because it is passed down through a single bloodline. Each generation can have only one inheritor, and only two Nine Hearts Begonia Soul Masters can exist simultaneously. If neither of those two dies, then no new Nine Hearts Begonia Soul Master can appear among the next generation."

"The support abilities of the Nine Hearts Begonia are no weaker than those of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. In fact, the Nine Hearts Begonia was originally the strongest support martial soul. It is only because the sect can have just one disciple that its fame falls far short of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Listening to Ye Yu's explanation, Master felt somewhat embarrassed and smiled bitterly. "It seems I have been ignorant and poorly informed."

Though Master did not know, Ye Yu would not look down on him. Master was also someone Ye Yu admired.

"It's normal that you don't know. Aside from the Nine Hearts Begonia Sect itself, only a very small number of people in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall know of Nine Hearts Begonia."

Master was curious. "What abilities does this Nine Hearts Begonia possess?"

"Healing. No matter how many Soul Rings it has, it possesses only one skill: Healing."

Master's eyes immediately lit up at those words.

"With only one Healing ability, its healing must naturally be terrifyingly extreme. Once its strength reaches the level of a Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo, it is hard to imagine just how horrifying that healing ability would become. As long as someone still has a breath left, no matter how severe their injuries, they could probably be healed quickly. Perhaps even the dead could be brought back to life."

By the end, a trace of sorrow had surfaced in Ye Yu's eyes.

He himself had been brought back from the dead.

After hearing this, Master was deeply shaken and exclaimed, "Nine Hearts Begonia truly is a powerful support-type Martial Soul."

Tang San, standing nearby, was equally horrified. There was actually such a terrifying Martial Soul in existence.

Ye Yu raised his right hand and looked at his Martial Soul with emotion in his eyes. Although his parents had left him, he felt that they had not truly gone. They had transformed into his Martial Soul and remained by his side.

"My Martial Soul mutated from Nine Hearts Begonia into Nine Spirit Black Tang. Perhaps it was because of the mutation that it differed from Nine Hearts Begonia, which is why it came into being."

Ye Yu believed it. His gaze was firm. "I have a feeling that my Nine Spirit Black Tang's support abilities surpass those of Nine Hearts Begonia!"
