Chapter 3 The Curse of Life, The Sorrowful Nine-Hearted Begonia!
Above the sky, the "drawback" evaluation, which was originally as glaring as blood, slowly dissipated, replaced by a vast and boundless martial arts arena.
The visuals are incredibly realistic, as if pulling everyone in the entire Douluo Continent into an immersive virtual reality experience.
In the center of the image, an old man dressed in the white robes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School stood in mid-air.
His hair and beard were all white, and his body was surrounded by seven soul rings: two yellow, two purple, and three black.
Although he hadn't reached the title level, his calm and steady aura clearly indicated that he was a top-tier Soul Saint at level 79!
Standing in front of him was a Title Douluo wielding a giant sword, exuding a fierce aura.
Opposite them was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, whose body was as large as a mountain and exuded a terrifying and ferocious aura!
"That's... a level 79 Soul Saint, assisting a Title Douluo in hunting a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast?!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
Just then, the old man in white in the picture moved.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in his hand swelled with the wind, transforming into a dazzling pagoda tens of meters high, its seven-colored light instantly illuminating the entire dark forest.
"The seven treasures have names, the first being: Strength!"
The second rule is: Speed!
"Thirdly: The Soul!"
"..."
"Sixth: Increase!"
With the old man's powerful shout, beams of brilliant colored light shot into the body of the titled Douluo in front of him like shooting stars.
The next moment, a scene that shocked the entire audience unfolded!
The Sword Douluo, who was originally only at the level of 90, suddenly expanded his body the moment the light of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda entered his body, and the giant sword in his hand burst out with a terrifying sword light that was a hundred meters long!
His speed, strength, and soul power fluctuations were visibly and wildly increasing!
Eighty percent!
All attributes increased by 80%! (The tower itself has a 10% increase, and each additional soul ring increases the increase by 10%).
This is not just a simple addition, but a qualitative leap!
"roar--!!"
The once arrogant Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear let out a terrified roar, for it discovered that the human before it, who could only tickle it before, was now emanating an aura that made it feel threatened with death.
Boom!
The giant sword fell, and the world changed color.
With the full support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the titled Douluo used only one sword strike to sever one of the claws of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was known for its defense!
Blood gushed out like a waterfall, staining the earth red.
The image freezes on the white-robed elder's exhausted yet proud face, and on the titled Douluo's god-like figure.
The entire Douluo Continent was once again in an uproar.
"My God... is this the true power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
"An 80% increase in all attributes... This is practically god-making! No wonder they say a Soul Saint from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can double a team's combat power. This isn't just doubling; it's a complete transformation!"
"What a pity, what a pity! Such a heaven-defying martial soul, yet it can only stop at level seventy-nine. If it could be cultivated to the title of Title Douluo, wouldn't the amplification be off the charts?"
While people were awestruck by the terrifying auxiliary abilities of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, their feelings of regret grew even stronger.
As Tianmu commented, this is an "artwork abandoned by the gods," breathtakingly beautiful, yet tragically incomplete.
……
Tiandou City, a quiet and elegant mansion.
This place lacks the magnificent splendor of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but is permeated with a refreshing floral fragrance.
The courtyard is filled with all sorts of exotic herbs, and in the heart of the flowerbed, several pink and white crabapple trees are quietly blooming, their petals like hearts, swaying gently in the wind.
This is the Ye family, the most mysterious and tragic healing family on the entire continent.
Ye Rou'er, the head of the Ye family, a beautiful woman who still retains her charm, is standing under the corridor, looking up at the image of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda gradually fading away in the sky.
She wore an elegant long dress, and a faint, lingering sadness always lingered between her brows.
Beside her stood a girl dressed in black, her face veiled in black. The girl was slender, and her eyes, visible through the veil, were cold and lonely, like a frozen pool in late autumn.
She is Ye Lingling, one of only two successors of the Nine Heart Begonia lineage.
"An artwork abandoned by the gods...?"
Ye Rou'er looked at the comment on the sky, a bitter smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes reddened slightly.
"Although Sect Master Ning could never break through level 80 in his lifetime, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was at least prosperous with disciples all over the world, enjoying all the glory and wealth in the world."
She turned to look at her silent daughter beside her, her voice trembling: "And what about our Nine-Heart Begonia? Lingling..."
"Mother," Ye Lingling called softly, her voice clear yet filled with a deathly stillness.
Ye Rou'er reached out and gently stroked her daughter's cold cheek, her eyes filled with sorrow:
"The world only knows that the Nine-Heart Begonia is a miracle of healing, known as 'If the King of Hell calls you to die at midnight, the Begonia will keep you alive until dawn.' As long as there is still a breath left, the Nine-Heart Begonia can pull a person back from the brink of death."
"But who knows the price behind this miracle?"
Ye Rou'er looked up at the sky, tears finally streaming down her face: "It's a single-lineage system, with only two Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Masters existing in each generation. Only when one of them dies can a new successor appear."
"This is a curse... a curse that takes a life for a life!"
Compared to the level restrictions of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the "quantity restrictions" of the Nine Heart Begonia are even more cruel and more despairing.
It was like a Damocles' sword hanging over the Ye family, forcing relatives to face life and death in order to continue the family's legacy.
"If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is ranked tenth, it's because of its incompleteness," Ye Rou'er murmured to herself, her voice tinged with resentment and self-mockery.
"Then what are we, the Nine-Heart Begonia? We don't even qualify for the list... I'm afraid we don't even have the qualifications."
Ye Lingling remained silent, but her hands, hidden in her sleeves, gripped the hem of her dress tightly.
She looked up at the sky, her eyes reflecting both a struggle against fate and a deep sense of powerlessness.
In this world where martial spirits determine everything, their fate is sealed from the moment they awaken their martial spirits.
……
Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, Thunder Mountain Range.
Here, dark clouds linger year-round, and lightning bolts dance wildly.
As one of the three major sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect is known for its ferocious attack power, and its members are all people with strong personalities and extremely protective of their own.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the square in front of the sect's main hall was extremely tense.
Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen was a burly man with a bristling beard and hair, and his body was surrounded by lightning, making him look like a thunder god descending to earth.
He stared intently at the sky, breathing heavily, like a dragon about to erupt in fury.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's tower is ranked tenth..."
Yu Yuanzhen paced back and forth in the square with his hands behind his back. With each step, a scorched crack appeared on the bluestone slab beneath his feet.
"Logically speaking, although support-type martial souls are rare, their combat power is ultimately inferior to that of offensive-type martial souls. It's understandable that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is at the bottom."
"So, what's next..."
Yu Yuanzhen abruptly stopped, his gaze burning as he looked at the elders beside him, his voice booming like thunder: "It must be my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"The sect leader is absolutely right!" an elder quickly echoed, a hint of pride on his face.
"When it comes to brute force, besides the Clear Sky Hammer, who in the world can surpass my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex? Since it's a reverse ranking, then ninth place undoubtedly belongs to my sect!"
"Hmph, ninth?" another hot-tempered elder sneered.
"In my opinion, ninth place is too low! The Haotian Sect has been hiding in seclusion for a long time; they're nothing but cowards. They deserve the title of the number one beast spirit in the world long ago! Maybe we can even make it into the top five!"
Although they spoke with great bravado, all the high-ranking members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan were on edge.
The origin of this canopy is mysterious, and its evaluation is extremely sharp.
What if... what if their ranking is not satisfactory? Where will the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan put their face?
"It has to be ninth... no, it has to be at least ninth!"
Yu Yuanzhen prayed silently in his heart.
As the "second-in-command" of the three sects, it would be a great disgrace if it couldn't even make it into the top nine.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people across the continent, and with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members sweating with tension,
The scene above the sky finally changed once again.
The phantom of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda completely vanished, replaced by a hazy pink mist.
The mist was gentle and lingering, yet it carried a chilling, eerie feeling, a mixture of life and death.
Then, the golden ancient characters reappeared, each stroke seemingly composed of flower petals—
