Su Yuxuan remained silent beneath the ancient tree.
The three options floated before him.
Each offered an extraordinary reward.
Each would determine the direction of his future.
He slowly exhaled.
"I don't want to become just another ordinary soul master."
He had been given a second life.
A family inheritance.
A mysterious system.
Knowledge from another world.
If he only sought the safest route every time.
Then sooner or later, he would become just another average soul master struggling through life.
That wasn't the future he wanted.
His eyes gradually became resolute.
"I'll carve my own path."
Without another moment of hesitation, he made his choice.
Option Three.
---
[Option 3 selected.]
[Reward confirmed: Martial Soul Evolution.]
The system screen shimmered before changing once more.
---
[Please select the martial soul to undergo evolution.]
[1. Blue Silver Grass (Right Hand)]
[2. Spirit Pearl (Left Hand)]
---
Yuxuan instinctively looked down at both of his hands.
His thoughts immediately became complicated.
"The Spirit Pearl If I choose it... It might evolve into Grandmother's Sacred Sea Pearl."
His grandmother had relied upon the Sacred Sea Pearl to cultivate all the way to Rank 33 Soul Elder.
Better yet.
Her cultivation notes included suitable spirit beasts for the first several spirit rings.
If his Spirit Pearl truly evolved into the Sacred Sea Pearl, he could inherit much of her cultivation path.
It was undoubtedly a tempting option.
"But"
Yuxuan summoned his Blue Silver Grass into his right hand.
The delicate blades swayed gently in the breeze.
"If I choose Blue Silver Grass y future won't be limited to support."
Blue Silver Grass possessed incredible versatility.
Control.
Defense.
Support.
And, with the proper spirit rings, even offensive capabilities.
Most importantly.
It was the martial soul he had spent months cultivating and understanding.
His Vitality Sense had been born because of it.
He had already decided that it would become his primary martial soul.
After several moments of consideration his hesitation vanished.
"I choose Blue Silver Grass."
The instant his decision was made the system disappeared at the same time, an indescribable surge of warmth erupted within his body.
"Hmm!"
Yuxuan clenched his teeth.
An immense current of vitality and life essence poured into every corner of his body.
His muscles.
His bones.
His meridians.
Even his soul seemed to be immersed within an endless ocean of life.
The surrounding Blue Silver Grass suddenly began swaying violently.
Not because of the wind.
But because of him.
Countless blades bent gently toward Yuxuan, it looked almost as though they were paying their respects.
Streams of faint green light drifted from the surrounding grass.
Even the hundred-year Blue Silver Grass near the ancient tree released tiny wisps of life essence.
The countless motes of light slowly converged upon Yuxuan.
They did not feel forced.
Instead.
It resembled loyal subjects offering tribute to the one they instinctively acknowledged.
The ancient Blue Silver Grass wrapped around the tree remained motionless.
Yet its dense vitality quietly spread throughout the field, blending into the ongoing transformation.
Yuxuan closed his eyes completely.
He surrendered himself to the process.
---
Time passed silently.
One hour.
Then another.
Nearly half the day slipped away.
Throughout the entire process, Yuxuan's Blue Silver Grass martial soul floated before him.
Its appearance gradually changed.
Fine silver threads slowly spread through every blade.
The originally soft blue-green color became richer and more vibrant.
Its glow grew steadily brighter.
Meanwhile.
The vitality flooding into Yuxuan's body continued strengthening his physique.
Although his soul power could not break through Rank 10 before obtaining a spirit ring.
It became noticeably denser.
More refined.
His control over it also improved considerably.
It was as though every aspect of his foundation was being polished.
Finally.
The brilliant green light slowly faded.
The surrounding Blue Silver Grass returned to normal.
The endless field became quiet once again.
Yuxuan slowly opened his eyes.
He raised his right hand.
A strand of Blue Silver Grass quietly emerged.
Compared to before it looked completely different.
Its leaves were tougher.
Elegant silver veins stretched naturally across each blade.
A faint aura of life radiated from it, gentle yet unmistakable.
Even without testing it.
Yuxuan could tell that its quality had risen by an astonishing degree.
At that moment, the system appeared one last time.
---
[Congratulations!]
[The host's Blue Silver Grass martial soul has successfully evolved.]
[Current Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass King.]
[The sovereign of all Blue Silver Grass beneath the Blue Silver Emperor.]
---
Yuxuan stared blankly at the notification.
Then his eyes widened with disbelief.
"The Blue Silver Grass King?"
A heartbeat later, an irrepressible smile spread across his face.
He laughed aloud, the sound echoing across the quiet hillside.
"So that's what the system meant by evolution."
The Blue Silver Emperor was the supreme ruler of the Blue Silver Grass lineage.
Below it stood the Blue Silver Grass King.
A martial soul far beyond ordinary Blue Silver Grass in both potential and quality.
Yuxuan gently held the evolved martial soul in his palm.
He could clearly feel its vigorous vitality.
Its affinity with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass had become even stronger than before.
He took a slow breath to calm himself.
"This is only the beginning."
His first spirit ring still awaited him.
But now.
He would face that challenge with a martial soul that had taken a decisive step beyond its ordinary origins.
