Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 60 Subduing the Nine Star Begonia Sect

Ye Suling pondered. Since this little guy was Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan's child, he would definitely seek revenge on that mysterious expert in the future. In that case, her family might also get caught up in it. However, the little guy looked calm and collected, as if everything was under his control.

"Nephew, have you found your enemy yet?" Ye Suling asked curiously.

"Found him. He's just a level 95 Title Douluo. I can kill him easily at any time. Senior Ye, you don't need to worry about being implicated by joining my organization."

"Let me tell you the truth! My Aunt Lan is now a level 96 Title Douluo, and Grandma Dean Shui Lingfeng has reached level 93 Title Douluo. There are five high-level Soul Douluos who are close to Title Douluo. Tianshui Academy will establish a sect in the future and will not be affiliated with any power."

"This is just the surface power. Behind me are mysterious Limit Douluo powerhouses and several Title Douluos above level 95. But I don't need them now, as those powerhouses usually don't show themselves."

"The Tenglong Pavilion that I will establish in the future will allow everyone to live freely and without fighting any forces. Even if others want to fight me, we have the power to destroy them."

Ye Liangchen directly revealed some of his trump cards to resolve Ye Suling's worries. After all, the Nine Star Begonia Sect had been suppressed by powerful forces, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall. Legend has it that the Spirit Hall in Qian Daoliu's era suppressed the three earthly sects.

"Shui Lanxin actually reached level 96 Title Douluo! What kind of extraordinary encounter did she have? That's terrifying."

"Mom, he has a Limit Douluo backing him!"

Ye Suling and her daughter were utterly shocked by the news revealed by Ye Liangchen. The powerful force behind this little guy could change the current landscape of the Soul Master world; it was terrifying.

"Nephew, I agree. The Nine Star Begonia Clan will join your organization. Afterwards, I'll go with you to Tianshui Academy. I used to know Shui Lanxin. Her strength was about the same as mine before, but I never expected her to be a level 96 Title Douluo. It's such a surprise."

Upon hearing that Ye Liangchen had such a powerful force behind him, Ye Suling immediately declared that she must seize this opportunity.

"Then welcome Senior Ye to the team. However, please do not reveal the power behind me to the outside world for the time being."

Ye Liangchen wanted to maintain his mystery and not be too high-profile, otherwise some people would jump out and cause trouble, and he would have to fight them all, which would be very troublesome.

"Nephew, I understand the saying 'the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow,' but don't worry! Now that I've decided to join your organization, I'm one of you!"

Ye Suling patted her chest and assured Ye Liangchen that she would never reveal this matter casually.

"Ye Liangchen, what level is your soul power now? It feels like your soul power is higher than mine." Ye Lingling stared at Ye Liangchen and asked curiously.

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen directly summoned the Goddess of Life Martial Soul, along with the four soul rings of yellow, purple, and black.

"My current soul power is level 49, barely enough!"

Ye Liangchen calmly introduced his strength, in his opinion, this level of strength was really nothing.

"My God! Nephew, your martial soul is so beautiful! The combination of yellow, purple, and black spirit rings? How did you do that?"

"My dear nephew, you should only be 12 years old this year. Among your peers, no one can compare to you. You can be said to be a rare genius."

Ye Su had been active for decades and had never seen such a monstrous genius. Moreover, this little guy was too young, having such strength at the age of 12. He was a true dragon who would surely soar through the heavens in the future.

"12 years old with 49 levels of soul power, Ye Liangchen, you call that barely passable? How am I supposed to survive with 14 years old and 35 levels of soul power?"

"What kind of martial soul is that? It's so beautiful."

Ye Lingling was shocked when she saw this guy's beautiful martial spirit. She, who usually didn't like to talk, talked a lot in front of Ye Liangchen.

"My martial soul is called the Goddess Martial Soul, and it's not as exaggerated as you all say."

"Since Senior Ye is willing to join, then I will solve the problem of the curse for you."

"These are two Creation Pills, which have the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth and can evolve your martial spirit. As long as you take them, the curse problem will be solved."

Seeing that the other party had already expressed their opinion, Ye Liangchen took out two Creation Pills and handed them to the two of them.

"Thank you, my dear nephew."

"Ye Liangchen, thank you."

Although Ye Suling and Ye Lingling did not know what the Creation Pill was, judging from its rich fragrance, it was definitely not an ordinary product.

The two took the pills and immediately swallowed them. The pills melted in their mouths, turning into a magical energy that surged into their limbs and bones.

"Buzzing..."

Half an hour later, powerful soul energy burst forth from both of them, and their martial souls also appeared and changed. The original petals were purple with nine golden stars in the middle, but now the petals have turned white, and the nine stars in the middle have become ten, turning into a ten-star begonia, which can also be called a sacred heart begonia.

"Mom, I feel the cursed power on my body has disappeared."

With the curse on her martial soul lifted, Ye Lingling's personality became cheerful and lively.

"Daughter, I feel it too. Our martial souls have now evolved into ten-star begonias, and we are no longer bound by the curse."

"Mother…"

"daughter…"

Ye Suling and Ye Lingling were extremely excited at this moment, and they hugged each other and cried bitterly to release their emotions.

Holy crap! The two girls actually cried over this little thing. They really think they're not outsiders.

Ye Liangchen shook his head helplessly, walked to the other sofa and sat down, letting them cry their fill.

A dozen minutes later, Ye Suling led Ye Lingling to Ye Liangchen and immediately knelt down to pay her respects.

"Greetings, Pavilion Master. I, Ye Suling, swear by my martial spirit that I will serve you faithfully to the death from this day forward. If I disobey, I will suffer a terrible death."

"I, Ye Lingling, swear by my martial spirit that I will serve the Pavilion Master to the death. If I break this oath, may my martial spirit shatter and I die."

The two women are now completely convinced of Ye Liangchen's abilities. To show their loyalty, they even swore a solemn oath. Moreover, this little guy is an exceptionally talented genius, worthy of their investment.

"Senior Ye, is there really no need for such formality? Please get up."

Ye Liangchen was startled by the two women's statement and quickly helped them up. They were too young to bear being knelt down and bowed to.

"My dear nephew, Shui Lanxin and I are about the same age. If you don't mind, please call me 'Auntie'!"

"You saved our Nine Star Begonia family. From now on, our family will be forever loyal to you."

Ye Suling held Ye Liangchen's hand, staring at his incredibly handsome face like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked, the more interesting he became. This little guy was just too adorable.

"Tsk tsk! Xiao Chen, your eyes and face really do resemble Liu Ruyan's, and your sword-like eyebrows are similar to Ye Feng's. You really are their offspring!"

"Ye Feng, Liu Ruyan, you two really have a fine son!"

Ye Suling looked at Ye Liangchen and recalled the divine couple that the world envied back then. Now she directly called Ye Liangchen Xiao Chen.

Ye Liangchen felt that this woman was too enthusiastic, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Aunt Ye, Miss Lingling's soul power has now broken through level 40. Why don't we go to Sunset Forest to hunt for her fourth soul ring?"

Having successfully recruited two nine-star Begonia Soul Masters, Ye Liangchen, as their superior, naturally had to help his subordinates solve their Soul Ring problems.

"Mom, we were so focused on the fact that the curse was broken that we didn't realize my soul power had already broken through to level 40. It's amazing!"

"Yes! Even my soul power has broken through two levels, reaching level 87."

With Ye Liangchen's reminder, the mother and daughter finally felt their soul power increase; today's surprise was truly immense.

"Then I'll go back to the academy to ask for leave right away." Ye Lingling is still studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Hunting soul beasts takes a long time, so she needs to go back and ask for leave.

"Daughter, don't tell the academy about your martial soul evolution. Just tell your teacher that something happened at home," Ye Suling instructed her daughter, telling her not to give anything away.

"Okay, Mom."

Ye Lingling wasn't stupid; she knew the gravity of the situation. After leaving the clinic, she quickly headed towards the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

"Xiao Chen, what do you think of my daughter?"

Ye Suling led Ye Liangchen to the second-floor reception room, poured him a cup of tea, and then looked at him with a smile.

"Aunt Ye, Miss Lingling is wonderful! She's beautiful, gentle, and kind—a true beauty."

Ye Liangchen spoke frankly, Ye Lingling was indeed a great beauty, and of course he had to praise her.

"Do you have a girlfriend? If not, you can spend some time with my daughter. Even if you do, it's fine."

Ye Suling felt that this little guy had strength, wisdom, good looks, and a powerful background, making him her first choice for son-in-law. Moreover, she had joined his faction, which would give her a brighter future, so she had to seize the opportunity for her daughter.

"Aunt Ye, something's not right! Let's not talk about this anymore."

Ye Liangchen was completely stunned by the woman's words, and he almost spat out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk.

"Aunt Ye, don't let anyone know about your joining my faction for now, so as not to attract the attention of various forces later. Let's keep things as they are for now."

"Auntie understands what you mean. You want to quietly develop your influence, which is a good thing."

"Yes! That's right. After all, I haven't even discussed the establishment of the Tenglong Pavilion with my elders yet!"

"Hehe! You're quite the talent."

Ye Suling talked to Ye Liangchen about many things and thought highly of the little guy.

Two hours later, Ye Lingling returned to the clinic with an excited smile on her face.

Ye Suling prepared to return to her family to ask for help, since she herself was only a healing-type Soul Douluo and had no offensive power.

"Aunt Ye, let's set off now! I have a Title Douluo following me, ready to act at any time, so there's no need to trouble others."

"Besides, I can handle hunting a four- or five-thousand-year-old soul beast for Miss Lingling all by myself. When I obtained my fourth soul ring, I killed a 23000-year-old golden eagle in Sunset Forest all by myself."

Ye Liangchen didn't want too many people to know about him, so he told the two that he could help Ye Lingling get her fourth soul ring by himself.

"Xiao Chen, you killed a 23000-year-old golden eagle all by yourself? That's a top-tier aerial spirit beast!"

The mother and daughter didn't know what words to use to describe how incredible this guy was.

"So there's nothing to worry about." Ye Liangchen spread his hands, indicating that he had someone backing him up and could ensure everything went smoothly.

"Okay! Let's go buy some things and leave right away."

Ye Suling immediately packed some things and did some preparations.

As usual, Ye Liangchen put on a mask, transforming into an ordinary-looking handsome man, while Ye Lingling also put on a veil to cover her face.

"Ye Liangchen, your mask is quite amazing!"

Ye Lingling saw this guy put on a transparent mask, pinch his face a few times, and then his appearance changed.

"Xiao Chen's face is too eye-catching. If he doesn't cover it up, he will easily be targeted by many beauties in Tian Dou City, especially some noble ladies. They will definitely be unable to walk past a handsome man of Xiao Chen's caliber."

Ye Suling stared at Ye Liangchen and teased him, thinking that even with a mask on, this guy's dignified and imposing aura was still undeniable.

"Aunt Ye, you're joking. Let's go!"

"good!"

The three of them left the clinic, bought some necessities for entering the Soul Beast Forest and a carriage, and headed along the official road towards the Sunset Forest.

Ye Liangchen never expected that after going around in circles, he would be heading to Sunset Forest again. However, this trip was worthwhile because he managed to subdue the only two remaining nine-star Begonia Soul Masters in the world.

"Aunt Ye, how many people are left in your Nine Star Begonia family?" Ye Liangchen asked curiously.

"Xiao Chen, our family has completely declined by our generation. Our family was once known as the Undying Sect, and together with the Seven Kill Sect and the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Sect, we were known as the Three Earth Sects. Later, we were suppressed by powerful forces and declined. The Seven Kill Sect only had Sword Douluo left, the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Sect disappeared completely, and our Nine Star Begonia was cursed so that only one successor could be passed on in each generation, and only two people could survive in the world. My father passed on the lineage to my generation. The moment my daughter awakened the Nine Star Begonia Martial Soul, he died. My daughter has been quiet ever since and often wears a veil."

"Our entire family only has about 20 people now. If it weren't for you, Xiao Chen, solving our martial soul curse problem, our Nine Star Begonia martial soul would probably have disappeared completely in just a few years."

Ye Suling slowly told Ye Liangchen about the current situation of her family. Since she had already joined the little guy's forces, there was nothing to hide.

"Aunt Ye, what is your husband's martial spirit?"

Ye Liangchen was quite curious about Ye Lingling's father. This girl actually took her mother's surname. Could it be that her father was also a son-in-law who married into the family?

"My father's martial soul was a sword, but he died a few years ago."

At this moment, Ye Lingling's voice rang out, carrying a hint of sadness.

"Ah...! Aunt Ye, Miss Lingling, I'm so sorry!"

Ye Liangchen hadn't expected that Ye Suling was actually a widow, just like the Lan Xiaodie sisters.

"Xiao Chen, it's okay."

"Our Nine Star Begonia family has been suppressed by powerful forces for many years, and my husband died under such circumstances."

"Our businesses today consist of only a few insignificant ones, such as the clinic you saw earlier."

"Most of our business competitors are under the instructions of powerful forces and are deliberately suppressing us, forcing us to live in the cracks all these years."

Ye Suling slowly recounted the current situation of the Nine Star Begonia family, as if she were complaining to Ye Liangchen. However, now that the little guy has lifted the curse of the Nine Star Begonia Martial Soul, it can be considered a turning point.

Ye Liangchen guessed that the one suppressing the Nine Star Begonia family now might be Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. That guy looks like a gentleman, but he is actually a master of all kinds of political maneuvering. Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's businesses would not be spread throughout the entire empire.

In the original storyline, when Bone Douluo learned at Shrek Academy that Tang San possessed twin martial souls, he secretly suggested to Ning Fengzhi that they kill him. Of course, Ning Fengzhi rejected the suggestion, mainly because he was afraid that Tang Dachui would come to their door with his hammer.
