The guard was utterly terrified, and knelt on the ground: "It's... It's true."
The guard's voice trembled as he pleaded: "I have eyes but don't see Mount Tai, Soul Master, I beg you to spare me."
"Leave," Ye Yu said coldly.
"Yes!" The guard departed swiftly as if granted amnesty.
Heart pounding with fear, the guard felt as if he had narrowly escaped death. Even though he was from the countryside, being a Soul Master made all the difference. Even if he were killed, it wouldn't matter.
Once the guard was far away, Ye Yu said meaningfully: "Xiao San, I'll leave it to you."
Understanding, Tang San soon made the guard, who had fled a hundred meters away, suddenly drop dead, causing quite a stir among the crowd that quickly gathered around.
Upon closer inspection, they found the guard's throat pierced by a needle, blood staining the ground red.
No one knew who did this, except Ye Yu.
When the guard uttered 'Are you seeking death?' he had already been marked for death by Ye Yu.
If he weren't born with Innate Full Soul Power or just a normal person from the countryside, angering this guard would certainly lead to revenge, even death. Therefore, anyone who harbored killing intent towards him must not be spared!
Tang San immediately grasped Ye Yu's earlier words; the guard was naturally killed by him. If Ye Yu hadn't appeared earlier, Tang San would have acted.
Tang San used a hidden weapon from the Tang Sect, a silent sleeve arrow, unnoticed by anyone.
At this moment, the Master arrived and introduced himself: "Hello, I am from this academy, may I see your proof?"
Old Jack sensed something extraordinary about the person before him and handed the proof to the Master.
The Master glanced at it and said: "I'll take care of these two children, I'll bring them into the academy."
"Alright, thank you," Old Jack expressed gratitude.
The Master led Tang San and Ye Yu into the academy. Curious, Tang San asked: "Teacher, what do you teach at this academy?"
The Master corrected him: "I am not a teacher here, you may call me Master."
Ye Yu remarked: "It seems your status at this academy is quite high, the difference between a Master and a teacher is significant. To be called Master implies you have exceptional skills."
The Master rarely smiled: "What clever children you are, regardless, I've become quite persistent. I would like to take both of you as my students."
Tang San was curious: "Oh? Is it because we have Innate Full Soul Power? But our Martial Souls are wasted ones."
"I'll explain to you in detail later, let's head to my office first."
Walking through the campus, students and teachers showed great respect for the Master, bowing in greeting. This made Tang San realize the Master probably indeed possessed unique qualities.
Soon, they reached the office, and the Master closed the door, speaking frankly: "Today I have good fortune, I've encountered two twin Martial Souls. You are the third and fourth on this continent in the past hundred years."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's heart skipped a beat. Only his father knew about his twin Martial Souls, how did the Master know?
Simultaneously surprised, he looked at Ye Yu, inwardly lamenting: "Brother Yu also has twin Martial Souls?"
After brief amazement, Tang San wasn't too surprised; considering Ye Yu's terrifying constitution, it definitely wasn't brought by the Black-tailed Flower.
Seeing Tang San's astonished gaze, the Master knew he was right. However, looking at Ye Yu, the Master frowned slightly.
Ye Yu did not show a surprised expression, as if he had spoken incorrectly.
"Xiao Yu, am I wrong?" the Master believed in his theory, but judging by Ye Yu's expression, it didn't seem feigned.
Ye Yu shook his head: "I do not have twin Martial Souls, I have only one Martial Soul."
Ye Yu opened his right hand, revealing a black Begonia.
Upon seeing this Martial Soul, the Master was astounded, as he was seeing such a Martial Soul for the first time and couldn't name it.
Though it resembled the Black-tailed Flower, there was a feeling it wasn't.
This piqued the Master's intense interest: "Xiao Yu, what is your Martial Soul? The proof states it's a wasted Martial Soul, the Black-tailed Flower, but I don't think it is, although very similar, I believe it's a Begonia."
Although the Black-tailed Flower and Begonia are extremely similar, the Master felt it was a Begonia, not a Black-tailed Flower. However, Martial Souls resembling Begonias hadn't been heard of.
Though not all Martial Souls were known to him, except for those extremely rare ones, he knew the others.
Ye Yu asked: "Master, do you know of the Nine-Hearted Begonia?"
"Nine-Hearted Begonia..." The Master frowned slightly, having not heard of it.
Ye Yu continued: "The Nine-Hearted Begonia, there are currently only two on the continent, it's a Martial Soul from one of the Lower Three Sects, the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect, akin to the Nine Treasure Glaze Sect. The Seven Treasure Glaze Sect can align with the Vast Heaven Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect as the Upper Three Sects of the Douluo Continent, because of the Seven Treasures Glaze Tower, the continent's strongest Support Type Artifact Martial Soul. Similarly, the prowess of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect lies within the Nine-Hearted Begonia."
"In the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect, only two possessors of Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Souls can appear simultaneously, due to single-line inheritance, each generation can only have one successor, and those alive can only be two Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Masters. If neither of the two dies, no new Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Master can appear in descendants."
"The auxiliary ability of the Nine-Hearted Begonia is not weaker than the Seven Treasures Glaze Tower, and the Nine-Hearted Begonia is the strongest support Martial Soul. Solely due to having only one disciple, its fame is far less than that of the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect."
Listening to Ye Yu, the Master felt somewhat embarrassed, and smiled wryly: "It seems I am indeed lacking in knowledge."
Though unfamiliar, Ye Yu would not belittle, having deep respect for the Master.
"It's normal that you don't know. Apart from the Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect, only the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect and a few in the Martial Soul Hall are aware."
The Master, curious, asked: "What ability does this Nine-Hearted Begonia possess?"
"Healing. No matter how many Soul Rings, there's only one skill, healing."
Upon hearing this, the Master's eyes lit up.
"Having only one healing ability implies extremely terrifying healing. The strength mightily rise to Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo, and the healing capability then would be unimaginably frightening. But as long as someone breathes, no matter the severity of the injury, it can likely be quickly healed. Even those who are dead might be resurrected."
At the end, a trace of sadness flickered in Ye Yu's eyes.
He himself was resurrected.
Having listened, the Master was greatly shaken and exclaimed: "Nine-Hearted Begonia, truly a potent support Martial Soul."
Tang San standing nearby was also deeply astounded, such terrifying Martial Souls existed.
Ye Yu raised his right hand, gazing emotionally at his Martial Soul. Though his parents had left him, he felt they really hadn't, transformed into his Martial Soul, accompanying him.
"My Martial Soul mutated from Nine-Hearted Begonia into Nine Spirits Black Begonia. Perhaps due to the mutation, differing from Nine-Hearted Begonia, thus it appeared."
Ye Yu firmly believed, with unwavering eyes: "I feel that my Nine Spirits Black Begonia, its support ability surpasses the Nine-Hearted Begonia!"
