chapter 2 part 2
Who could have guessed such an answer?
[Play video related to the answer?]
This inquiry from the Live Broadcast Room was directed at Ning Fengzhi, the person who had answered the question. He could choose to play it, or not to play it. However, if he chose not to play it, then he would never have another chance to see this video again.
So, out of curiosity, and a desire to understand how he had lost. Ning Fengzhi chose to confirm!
Soon, the video in the Live Broadcast Room became blurry for a moment, then switched to a new scene.
First was a distant view, showing a prosperous small city. Then the camera zoomed in, and the plaque directly above the city gate came into view—White Cloud City!
This series of scenes let everyone watching know that the protagonist of this video was in White Cloud City.
"White Cloud City?" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. He seemed to have some impression of this White Cloud City? Didn't it seem to have been destroyed twenty years ago?
From the looks of it, this video was playing something that happened in the past. He was somewhat enlightened, then continued to watch intently...
The video's perspective then arrived at White Cloud City, swiftly flashing past, eventually reaching the City Lord's Manor, which was a sprawling complex of buildings. Above its large door hung a plaque with the words "Ye Mansion."
Ning Fengzhi still had no impression upon seeing this.
The video's perspective entered the Ye Mansion, then arrived at a Grand Hall.
At this moment, within this Grand Hall, many people were either sitting or standing. At the head was a graceful, beautiful woman, appearing to be around thirty years old, who sat in the main seat. Her black hair flowed freely, and her white robes were like snow, giving people a feeling of being gentle yet firm.
"This is!"
When Ning Fengzhi saw this woman, his pupils contracted, and it was as if a thunderclap struck his mind! He finally recognized who this woman was.
At this moment, some children were gathered in the Grand Hall within the video.
It turned out they were undergoing Martial Soul Awakening!
One child after another walked into the Awakening Array. The Martial Souls awakened by these children were all sword-type Martial Souls.
This sword had a white jade hilt, and its blade was as crystal clear as crystal; the entire sword looked as magnificent as a work of art!
This sword martial soul was named Flying Rainbow Sword!
Children who had awakened this Flying Rainbow Sword Martial Soul had innate spirit power as low as level two, and as high as around level six.
Soon, only one child remained.
This child had thick, dark hair and a delicate, handsome face. Though a boy, he was born exceptionally good-looking.
However, as people in the Live Broadcast Room looked at this child, no matter how they looked, they felt a sense of déjà vu.
[Do you guys feel like this child resembles someone?]
[Indeed, feels very familiar.]
[Who does he resemble?]
[Stupid! He looks a lot like Sect Master Ning!]
[Could it be that this child has some relation to Sect Master Ning?]
[Probably an illegitimate child or something. After all, men will be men... I've also heard about Sect Master Ning's romantic reputation in his youth...]
Ning Fengzhi had no time to care about how the bullet comments in the Live Broadcast Room were teasing him at this moment. His eyes were fixed on the child in the Live Broadcast Room who strongly resembled him. Recalling the past, how could he not know that this child was most likely his illegitimate son?
As seen in the video.
The child stepped into the Awakening Array, and as the light shone brightly.
What appeared in the child's hand was not the Flying Rainbow Sword inherited by the Ye Family, but a small, seven-layered pagoda resembling glazed crystal.
This was precisely the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
[As expected, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! This child definitely has a connection to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!]
[I estimate his innate spirit power must be around level eight or nine at least...]
The video continued.
In the scene, after discovering that the Martial Soul he awakened was actually a small pagoda, the child was clearly very surprised, and then a hint of disdain appeared on his small face. He was clearly dissatisfied with this Martial Soul.
Upon seeing that the Martial Soul he awakened was not a sword, but a pagoda. The woman sitting in the highest position was not surprised, however. She merely sighed lightly, then waved her hand, signaling for the innate spirit power test.
As the child placed his hand on the crystal ball.
The entire crystal ball burst forth with intense light!
This sign was...
[Innate full spirit power!!]
[It's actually innate full spirit power! This is the first time I've seen a support-type Martial Soul with innate full spirit power...]
[As far as I know, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has never had a child possess innate full spirit power, has it?]
[Currently, the highest known is Ning Rongrong's level nine spirit power.]
[It seems this child is the answer, that Ye Cheng.]
And when Ning Fengzhi saw that the child in the video actually possessed innate full spirit power, he couldn't help but clench his fists tighter. With this unprecedented innate full spirit power, he now fully believed that this child would definitely be able to break the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's curse of being unable to break through to Soul Douluo in the future, and evolve his Martial Soul into the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
The video continued.
In the scene, the Martial Soul Awakening and spirit power test had ended.
The boy who had awakened the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was called into a room by his mother. Immediately after, he mysteriously extended his other hand to his mother, revealing his secret.
Accompanying the dazzling white light of a gem, a long sword with a white jade hilt and a crystal blade appeared. It was none other than the Flying Rainbow Sword, the ancestral Martial Soul of the Ye Family!
This scene also caused the bullet comments in the Live Broadcast Room to completely explode.
[Twin Martial Souls! My heavens, it's actually Twin Martial Souls!]
[Unbelievable, unbelievable...]
[Possessing the world's strongest support-type, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and also an extremely offensive sword martial soul, integrated for both attack and support, almost perfect! It's hard to imagine how great this child's future achievements will be!]
And when Ning Fengzhi saw that the boy in the video, who was presumably his son, actually possessed a Twin Martial Soul, he immediately understood why he would be able to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the unprecedented Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the future. If it was a Twin Martial Soul, then it wasn't strange at all.
The video in the Live Broadcast Room continued.
Not long after the boy named Ye Cheng underwent his Martial Soul Awakening, the next night, the entire White Cloud City suddenly burst into flames. It then plunged into turmoil, with wails and roars of anger echoing everywhere.
As the video continued, everyone finally learned that it was the Wang Family, the Ye Family's sworn enemies, who, in collusion with some other clans, had launched a surprise attack on White Cloud City in the middle of the night! They wanted to destroy the White Cloud City Ye Family!
With their delayed reaction and being vastly outnumbered, the White Cloud City Ye Family naturally suffered repeated setbacks...
As for the boy whose Martial Soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he was also startled awake by the turmoil, but before he could even process what was happening, he saw his mother burst into the room. She then grabbed his body and brought him to a secret tunnel. She instructed him on a few things, then sealed the secret tunnel's entrance.
Inside the secret tunnel, the boy was terrified and restless, utterly bewildered. He had no idea what to do. In the end, he could only obey his mother's instructions, fleeing continuously along the underground passage, gradually moving further away from White Cloud City.
At this point, the scenes rapidly jumped, omitting many details.
Time advanced to a few days later.
At this moment, the once prosperous White Cloud City in the scene had turned into a ruin, with a great fire burning continuously for several days and nights. Even now, faint white smoke still rose from it...
On a small hilltop in the distance.
The boy, who had narrowly escaped, stared blankly at the ruins in the distance, his face filled with dejection...
