Ye Tianming never expected that Dragon Chen would awaken the Dark Night Magic Qin Spirit with an evil attribute, and even possess innate full spirit power at level ten.
Upon learning that he had innate full spirit power at level ten immediately after awakening his Spirit, Dragon Chen was also very shocked and thought to himself:
"It seems I, as a Reborn, have some luck after all. I finally have a chance to avenge my father."
His father in this World was an ordinary man who had only raised him for a year, but everything he had done for him was etched in his heart.
He had always hoped to awaken a powerful Spirit so that he would have a chance to avenge his father.
Now, that wish had finally come true.
Ye Lingling clapped her small hands and excitedly said:
"Brother Chen is so amazing, he actually has innate full spirit power."
Ye Tianming stroked Ye Lingling's head, his gaze falling on Dragon Chen.
"Long Chen, there are only a handful of people in this World with innate full spirit power, and all of them are geniuses. Now you are one of them. Those with the Dark Night Magic Qin Spirit belong to the control system Spirit Masters, capable of controlling and attacking opponents with the sound of the magic qin. However…"
"Uncle Ye, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, we'll talk about it later."
"Okay. Then let's awaken Lingling's Spirit first."
Ye Tianming nodded.
Subsequently, Ye Lingling repeated the actions Dragon Chen had just gone through to awaken her Spirit.
When specks of light converged in Ye Lingling's hand to form a pink Begonia flower, a hint of imperceptible sorrow flashed in Ye Tianming's eyes.
He knew that at that very moment, Ye Lingling's grandmother's life had come to an end.
The innocent Ye Lingling was completely unaware of this.
Looking at the Begonia flower composed of white and pink petals, her heart was filled with joy.
"Brother Chen, I've awakened the Nine Heart Begonia Spirit, just like my mother."
"Yes. Congratulations, you can become a powerful healer."
Calming his emotions, Ye Tianming smiled and said:
"Lingling, come test your spirit power."
"Okay."
Both father and daughter placed their right hands on the blue crystal ball simultaneously.
A pleased smile appeared on Ye Tianming's face.
"Eight-level spirit power, one level higher than your mother's when she awakened her Spirit back then."
"Lingling, you're also very impressive."
Dragon Chen gave Ye Lingling a thumbs-up, expressing his praise.
Ye Lingling was very happy and looked at Ye Tianming, asking:
"Dad, can I go to the Spirit Master Academy with Brother Chen?"
"Hmm, don't rush, let's talk about it after your mother comes back."
"Okay."
Ye Lingling was all smiles, seemingly looking forward to the upcoming academy journey.
Dragon Chen knew that Ye Lingling would soon enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
As for whether he himself could get in, it was still uncertain.
Because he sensed that Ye Tianming seemed to have some unspoken difficulty, possibly related to his Dark Night Magic Lyre Spirit.
Before going to bed that night, Dragon Chen curiously released his Spirit.
The black light emitted from the Dark Night Magic Lyre seemed to possess a magical power, as a series of information silently flowed into his mind, as if telling him how to control the magic lyre.
"Try controlling the qin sound with your mind."
Dragon Chen's gaze focused on the water cup on the table, and he gently plucked the strings.
Bang!
A trace of spirit power was released from the magic lyre, like an invisible air blade, directly shattering the water cup.
"It seems a bit powerful, I wonder what kind of Spirit Ability I'll gain in the future."
Dragon Chen was a little excited, full of anticipation for his upcoming first spirit ring.
The next day, Ye Susu returned to the Ye Estate, bringing back bad news: Ye Lingling's grandmother had passed away.
Upon learning the cause of her grandmother's death, Ye Lingling was heartbroken and locked herself in her room, neither eating nor drinking.
Ye Susu came to find Dragon Chen and told him about the fate of the Nine Heart Sea棠 Clan.
"Long Chen, Lingling can't accept the fact of her grandmother's passing right now, but this is the destiny of our Nine Heart Sea棠 Soul Master clan. She listens to you the most, please go and persuade her."
"Okay. Auntie, don't worry, I'll go check on her."
Dragon Chen arrived outside Ye Lingling's room and knocked on the door.
"Lingling, it's me, please open the door."
With a creak, Ye Lingling opened the door.
Her eyes were full of tears, and both her eyes were swollen from crying.
Dragon Chen felt a pang of heartache upon seeing her and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Lingling, I know everything. What has happened cannot be changed. Don't be sad anymore, grandmother certainly wouldn't want you to be like this."
"Wuwu~~"
Ye Lingling started crying sadly again.
"Brother Chen, I don't want to be a Nine Heart Sea棠 Soul Master. It's my fault that grandmother died… I don't want to go to the Academy either…"
"Lingling, this isn't your fault, don't blame yourself."
"Wuwu~"
"Alright, don't cry anymore. No matter what happens in the future, I will stay by your side and protect you."
Ye Lingling cried for a long time leaning on Dragon Chen's shoulder, gradually calming down only when she had no strength left.
"Lingling, you haven't eaten all day. Shall I get you something to eat?"
"Okay."
Dragon Chen brought some food and watched Ye Lingling finish it.
"Lingling, be good and go to the Royal Academy. Uncle Ye has already made arrangements."
"What about you?"
"I might go with you. But first, I need to obtain my first spirit ring."
Dragon Chen knew that Immortal Herbs could increase a Spirit Master's cultivation speed, and some top-grade Immortal Herbs could even promote the evolution of a Spirit.
The Qiluo Tulip in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a top-grade Immortal Herb, capable of helping the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia was also a support Tool Spirit. If she could consume that Qiluo Tulip, perhaps her Spirit would evolve.
It would be no easy feat to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which Dugu Bo occupied.
However, he could start with his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
According to the timeline, Ye Lingling would become Dugu Yan's teammate.
Ye Lingling had to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for Dragon Chen to have a chance to implement his plan.
No matter what, he couldn't let those Immortal Herbs fall into Tang San's hands.
By this time, it was already dark.
After coaxing Ye Lingling, Dragon Chen left her room to find Mrs. Ye Tianming.
"Uncle, Auntie, Lingling is already asleep."
"Long Chen, you've worked hard, coaxing her all day."
"Auntie, you're too kind. By the way, I've always wanted to ask you a question, is there no way to change the fate of your Nine Heart Sea棠 Soul Masters?"
Ye Susu sighed.
"There is, but it's too difficult. Legend has it that once our spirit power breaks through level ninety, the Nine Heart Begonia Spirit will evolve into the Saint Heart Sea棠, and at that point, we will no longer be restricted by the Spirit, completely breaking free from the shackles of fate."
"Level ninety?"
"Yes. The growth potential of a healing system Spirit is relatively limited, making it difficult to reach high levels. Coupled with the single-line inheritance and the time constraints for passing down the lineage, breaking through that unreachable level ninety is simply a fantasy. To my knowledge, the highest spirit power achieved by any ancestor of our clan was only level seventy-nine."
