Chapter 134 Healing Childhood with a Lifetime
This family is terrifyingly obsessed with passing on their martial spirit. Lin Ye can't imagine how suffocating it must be to live in such a family, as if people come into this world only to pass on their martial spirit, making it seem like they are experimenting with biological weapons.
Lin Ye finally understood why Ye Lingling was so withdrawn. She awakened the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul because of her grandmother's suicide, which made her feel that she was carrying her grandmother's life on her shoulders.
In his previous life, Lin Ye had seen a news story about a father who was seriously ill and hospitalized. His son sold his family property to pay for his father's treatment, accumulating huge debts, but still could not afford the exorbitant medical expenses.
Later, to avoid becoming a burden on his son, the father jumped from a high-rise building, ending his own life.
The father committed suicide so as not to be a burden on his son.
When the son found out, he was devastated. His closest relative had chosen to end his life for his sake. The helplessness and psychological torment he felt were difficult to truly understand without experiencing it himself.
Some people are healed by their childhood throughout their lives. Others, however, need to spend their entire lives healing from their childhood.
The Nine Heart Begonia family's inheritance of their martial spirit is so obsessive that it's almost distorted.
Martial spirits serve people. People want high-quality martial spirits because they can improve people's lives.
I strive to cultivate myself so that I can enjoy life better, not just to cultivate for the sake of cultivation itself.
Lin Ye felt that the Nine Heart Begonia family had put the cart before the horse. No matter what, they should always put people first and themselves first. For the sake of so-called inheritance, they had tormented generation after generation. Such inheritance was better off not having.
He finally understood why Ye Lingling's personality had become like this.
Looking at Ye Lingling again, the old story was brought up again, and before she knew it, crystal tears slid down her smooth cheeks.
Seeing this, Lin Ye sat down next to her, reached out his hands, and gently embraced her slender, delicate body.
Holding Ye Lingling close, even through her clothes, he could feel the softness of her body, as if she had no bones, and smell her fragrance.
At this moment, Lin Ye couldn't bring himself to have such filthy thoughts. He secretly resolved that he would find a way to stop Ye Lingling's tragedy and change the flaws in the inheritance of the Nine Heart Begonia.
……
in the afternoon.
The sky was clear and cloudless.
The loser's bracket matches were also held in front of the Papal Palace.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy versus the Spirit Hall team.
The match was conducted in a team battle format.
The Spirit Hall team of seven stood in two rows, one in front and one behind. The four in the back were all four-ring Spirit Masters and possessed the best ratio of Spirit Rings.
The three people standing in the front row are Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan.
The three of them had the best soul ring configuration at their feet: two yellow, two purple, and one black.
In comparison, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy only has one Soul King, Dugu Yan, which makes it seem somewhat isolated and unable to cope.
Although her soul power has reached level 59, she is still a Soul King.
Before the entrance to the Papal Palace stood three gilded chairs. Qian Xunji sat in the center, flanked by the two generals, Yue Guan and Gui Mei. Behind them stood the Holy Maiden, Qian Renxue.
At this moment, Qian Renxue was sizing up Dugu Yan.
Hmm, she's pretty ordinary. How could that guy like this woman?
The thought that Dugu Yan was Lin Ye's first woman made Qian Renxue feel a pang of sadness.
Immediately, her lips opened and closed, but no sound came out; she had used a sound transmission technique.
On the arena, Xie Yue and Hu Liena received a message from Qian Renxue, who told them not to hold back and to crush the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Dugu Yan in the most decisive way.
In addition, the subsequent news further reassured the two, making them certain that the championship was in the bag.
The game has begun.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena held hands, and a layer of red light suddenly appeared, spreading out and enveloping their bodies.
At the same time, the red light burst forth, forming a red mist that covered nearly half the area of the arena, naturally enveloping all seven members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.
The other five members of the Spirit Hall team looked at each other in bewilderment. Their captain had just unleashed his ultimate move? This wasn't the strategy they had agreed on!
It's okay if you don't understand, just cooperate.
The members of the Spirit Hall team retreated, keeping their distance from the red mist. Yan and the others seemed to have no intention of making a move.
A thick red mist covered most of the arena area.
Surrounded by the red mist, it became extremely difficult for the seven members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team to clearly see their opponents' tracks.
Moreover, their senses, soul power, and movements were greatly restricted within the red mist.
Unseen by the seven, a red light flickered, and the original brother and sister turned into one person—a person with long, flowing hair whose gender was indistinguishable.
That's right, this is the fusion skill of their martial souls, Enchantress.
Within the red mist controlled by the bewitching skill, everyone's senses will be reduced by 50%, their soul power suppressed by 50%, and all actions will be slowed by 50%.
The two bewitching siblings began to dance silently. Two moon blades, magnified to twice their original size, slashed out with a rainbow-like brilliance.
A figure was thrown out of the red mist and landed below the stage. Lin Ye immediately recognized it as Dugu Yan.
He rushed forward to see what was wrong and saw that Dugu Yan was pale and had a deep wound on her waist, from which bright red blood was gushing out continuously.
The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone skill is "Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life."
Under Lin Ye's treatment, Dugu Yan's waist wound healed, scabbed over, and fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is not over yet.
Muffled groans echoed continuously from the red mist, and then one figure after another was thrown out of it.
They were all seriously injured, including Ye Lingling, who was a support-type character.
Lin Ye, being a good Samaritan, went all the way and helped them all receive treatment.
At this moment, the red mist on the stage finally dissipated, and the demon split in two, transforming back into Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
Yu Tianheng stood opposite them, his hands, which had transformed into dragon claws, trembling incessantly.
"I'll spare your life for the sake of your family."
Xie Yue's calm voice drifted out, and with a light flick of his moon blade, the dragon scales on Yu Tianheng's arm scattered and blood splattered.
The next moment, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, Lin Ye frowned. At first, he thought that the other party might have accidentally hit a little too hard.
In a competition, it's normal to make mistakes; he understands that.
But after Ye Lingling was also injured, he didn't think so anymore. Was it necessary to hurt a support character who couldn't even kill a chicken?
Looking at Xie Yue's arrogant attitude towards Yu Tianheng now, there's no doubt anymore. This guy did it on purpose.
Lin Ye was looking at him, and Xie Yue also looked over as if sensing something, grinned, raised his hand, and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Then, Xie Yue looked at Qian Renxue at the entrance of the Papal Palace as if seeking credit.
Qian Renxue looked a little uneasy. It seemed that she had gone a bit too far. Would he be angry?
Lin Ye followed Xie Yue's gaze, his eyes sweeping over Qian Xunji, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, wanting to know who had instigated this.
Then, when he looked over, Qian Renxue's gaze darted away.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ye paused for a moment, then looked away, lost in thought.
……
Silent all night.
The next day.
Under a cloudless sky and bright sunshine, the Spirit Hall shone with golden splendor, resembling a celestial abode.
Lin Ye climbed the stone steps of Papal Mountain step by step.
Not long after arriving at the Papal Palace, Qian Xunji arrived with his two generals, Heng and Ha.
In a red brocade tray to the side, three soul bones lay quietly as a reward.
Both players stepped onto the arena at the same time.
At Purple Star Academy, Lin Ye was still the only one present.
The Spirit Hall team is missing one person, with only six members remaining.
Just as Lin Ye was wondering, a figure gracefully landed at the front of the Spirit Hall team members. The person who came was Qian Renxue.
In the Spirit Hall team, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan all showed joy. With the Holy Maiden's help, the championship was secured, and their soul bones were also safe.
Actually, Qian Renxue had signed up from the very beginning.
However, she never contacted the Spirit Hall team members afterward, leading everyone to believe that Her Highness looked down on this kind of competition.
"The final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. Both teams, prepare yourselves. Begin!" After announcing the start of the match, the cardinal, who was acting as the referee, quickly retreated.
The rest of the Spirit Hall team, except for Qian Renxue, also retreated to make room for their Holy Maiden to perform.
Qian Renxue did not release her martial spirit, but just smiled at Lin Ye, her eyes seeming to say, "Please begin your performance."
Lin Ye silently released his martial spirit.
Qian Renxue's participation in the competition was unexpected for him.
However, the age limit for participating in the Soul Master Competition is 25 years old, which Qian Renxue does meet.
So, what can he do when facing Qian Renxue, who is level 87 and possesses a god-level martial soul?
They can't compete in terms of soul power cultivation, and they're no match for spiritual power either.
There is only one way.
Lin Ye's eyes blazed with light, and all five of its spirit rings lit up simultaneously.
In reality, he was just confused.
The only one truly unleashed is the fifth soul skill – the Time-Space Arena.
A layer of hazy gray light separated from the fifth spirit ring, forming a protective shield around Lin Ye.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ye pointed his finger towards Qian Renxue, and a point of black light shot out, instantly arriving at a position between the two of them.
The black light rapidly expanded, eventually forming a black hole.
Qian Renxue's relaxed expression vanished, and she instinctively sensed something was wrong.
Fifth Soul Skill - Angel's Roar.
The sacred angelic soul power transformed into a mental shockwave, sweeping towards Lin Ye.
The protective shield around Lin Ye shattered instantly.
But it only broke the protective shield. Qian Renxue's Angel's Roar is a ranged mental attack, and it's only her fifth soul skill, so it can't hurt Lin Ye.
The black hole had now expanded to three meters, and a tremendous suction force was emanating from it, pulling at Qian Renxue.
Her body was uncontrollably sucked in, and not only Qian Renxue, but also Lin Ye, Xie Yue and Hu Liena were sucked in as well.
The other members of the Spirit Hall team were probably too far away to be affected.
Everything around her was plunged into darkness, and Qian Renxue felt as if her body was floating lightly, completely unsupported. What puzzled her even more was that her soul power fluctuations seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and her body seemed to be undergoing some strange changes.
Suddenly, the surroundings brightened, and she felt solid ground beneath her feet. To her surprise, Qian Renxue found herself in a peculiar space.
It was like a giant, circular arena, stretching as far as the eye could see. There were no clouds, no sun, no stars in the sky, only boundless darkness.
The only light emanated from the ring itself.
The unfamiliar and eerie environment made Qian Renxue somewhat panicked.
Just then, she saw three other people: Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Lin Ye.
Even more bizarrely, the three children had transformed into children around six years old, only about 1.3 meters tall. Their entire bodies had shrunk, and even their clothes had become too small.
Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue seemed to realize something and quickly looked down at herself.
Sure enough, she also shrank, and it wasn't just her body that shrank; her soul power dropped to level 20, and her martial soul hadn't even awakened yet.
"Where is this place? What have you done? Why are we here?" A panicked voice came from Xie Yue.
Qian Renxue glanced at him, then looked at Lin Ye with a questioning look in her eyes.
Lin Ye explained, "This is the effect of my soul skill. Defeat me, and you'll be able to leave."
In fact, the real effect of the Soul Arena is that the opponent reverts to being 6 years old, while Lin Ye himself remains unaffected.
When he uses this soul skill, he is protected. As long as that protective shield is in place, he can be exempt from the rules of this skill.
However, if the protective shield is broken, he will also be affected by the soul skill, and will revert to his 6-year-old state, just like now.
After hearing his explanation, the others breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Xie Yue rubbed his hands together, sneering, "Three against one, the advantage is on our side, you might as well admit defeat."
Lin Ye's gaze was icy; he had to admit that this guy was very annoying to listen to.
As Xie Yue approached, Lin Ye swiftly grabbed him by the neck and slapped him across the face.
Snapped!
"Your face is really annoying. I really don't understand what you're so proud of."
Xie Yue felt his face go numb from the slap. Although they were both 6-year-old children, the other party's strength was unbelievably great.
He had no idea that Lin Ye had taken whale glue at the age of five, which greatly enhanced his physical abilities, and later, at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he had consumed two immortal herbs to refine his golden body through ice and fire. His physical strength and power could not be judged by ordinary standards.
"Brother, what are you doing? Let go of my brother!" Hu Liena rushed over to help when she saw her brother being choked.
Lin Ye showed no mercy to women, and with a casual kick, sent her flying several meters away.
Then, he slapped Xie Yue's intact half of his face again.
"Weren't you very arrogant and overbearing yesterday? Why aren't you being arrogant anymore?"
As he spoke, he slapped her again.
Snapped!
"Does your talent give you the right to do whatever you want?"
Snapped!
Snapped!
clap clap clap!
In a short time, Xie Yue had turned into a pig's head.
Lin Ye said coldly, "Regarding yesterday's events, either you give me an explanation, or I'll cripple you and your sister. Believe me, the Spirit Hall can't protect you."
Xie Yue's face burned with pain, his eyes filled with fear, but his face was swollen like a pig's head, and he couldn't speak. He could only turn his gaze to Qian Renxue.
Seeing this, Lin Ye also looked over, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Qian Renxue, aren't you going to explain this to me?"
