Tang Hao was extremely shocked.
That's because he had once seen this kind of martial soul in a very ancient book when he was in the Haotian Sect.
The Netherworld Begonia!
Also known as the Death Begonia!
That was from ancient times. It is said that at that time, there was a Netherworld Douluo, whose strength was overwhelming and invincible.
His martial soul was the Netherworld Begonia.
When the Netherworld Begonia bloomed, a ten-mile-long poisonous fog would descend, and within a hundred miles, all life would be lost.
Back then, that Netherworld Douluo, single-handedly, used only a soul skill called Begonia Blossom to directly poison and kill the people of an entire city.
Because the case was so classic, it was passed down and recorded in the Haotian Sect's books.
At that time, Tang Hao loved studying martial souls, so he remembered these things very well.
The appearance of the Netherworld Begonia was also that of a typical black begonia flower.
Judging from the previous soul power, the martial soul that Qian Yu awakened was definitely a top-tier martial soul, even surpassing their Clear Sky Hammer.
A martial soul that could surpass the Clear Sky Hammer, and with a black begonia flower, Tang Hao could only think of one possibility: the Netherworld Begonia!
Could it be that
the Netherworld Begonia martial soul was about to reappear in the world?
Tang Hao's heart was filled with shock.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Tang San had never seen Tang Hao so shocked before.
"Nothing, I just thought about some things." Tang Hao then calmly said.
"By the way, who is this Qian Yu? Why have I never heard of such a person in Holy Soul Village before?" Tang Hao was oblivious to what was going on outside, so even though Qian Yu had been here for several months, he still didn't know.
"He was brought back from outside by Grandpa Jack. I heard he's an orphan," Tang San quickly explained.
Tang Hao nodded and looked at Tang San, saying, "Alright, put your hammer away. Remember, you must never let anyone see your hammer again. You can only use it when your life is in danger!"
"Okay!" Tang San nodded.
"Also, in your future, you must use the hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right. Forever,"
Tang Hao added.
Tang San nodded, not understanding. Tang Hao stood up and went back to the inner room without looking back.
Qian Yu arrived in the forest outside the village and found a secluded spot.
Then, a ball of flame condensed in his left hand.
Some ice crystals formed in his right.
Then, the martial soul in his hands kept switching.
One moment it condensed into a hurricane, the next a long sword appeared.
Finally, a Wheel of Reincarnation appeared above his head.
After confirming that he could use all his martial souls, Qian Yu retrieved them all. He possessed innate
level 30 soul power, ten martial souls—Ice, Fire, Hurricane, Thunder, Rare Earth, Void Wings, War God Spear, God-Slaying Sword, and Netherworld Begonia—and
the first five martial souls of the Reincarnation Disc, all elemental martial souls.
Mastering these five martial souls was equivalent to mastering elemental power.
Moreover, these martial souls were far more powerful than those of the Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix.
While those martial souls could use fire and ice power,
they didn't truly master the elements.
They could only use soul skills related to those elements.
Qian Yu, however, could use the elements themselves; that is, he could freely condense ice and create various shapes from it.
He could also freely use fire, hurricanes, lightning, and earth.
The Void Wings were also an extremely powerful martial soul; using them would grant Qian Yu the ability to fly and even escape into the void.
The War God Spear and the God-Slaying Sword
were even more powerful.
These two martial souls were divine artifacts; even martial souls like the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Kill Sword couldn't compare to Qian Yu's two martial souls.
Next was the Netherworld Begonia, which absorbed the energy of life and death, capable of killing invisibly and saving lives from fire and water.
Finally, there was Qian Yu's Reincarnation Disc, a martial soul awakened in this life, whose uses Qian Yu hadn't yet discovered.
However, every time Qian Yu cultivated, a large amount of soul power was absorbed by the Reincarnation Disc.
Judging from its name, the Reincarnation Disc was likely related to reincarnation.
Regardless, Qian Yu would do his best to cultivate this martial soul.
After finishing his cultivation, Qian Yu returned to the village.
There, he saw a stubble-faced drunkard loitering at the village entrance.
The drunkard was extremely unkempt, with a full beard, tattered clothes, and a strong smell of alcohol emanating from him.
Qian Yu knew that he was Tang Hao, who was living in seclusion in Holy Soul Village.
Tang Hao raised his eyes and looked at Qian Yu.
Qian Yu's gaze also met Tang Hao's.
Tang Hao looked at Qian Yu and calmly asked, "You are Qian Yu?"
Qian Yu looked at Tang Hao and calmly replied, "Yes, I am. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Could you let me see your martial soul?" Tang Hao didn't say much more and asked directly.
Qian Yu smiled and said, "Since when have blacksmiths learned to help people examine their martial souls?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao looked at Qian Yu with some surprise.
He hadn't expected that Qian Yu, despite his young age, would speak so sharply.
"Hahahaha!" Tang Hao burst into laughter.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure emanated from Tang Hao.
The overwhelming pressure immediately swept towards Qian Yu.
Qian Yu was somewhat surprised.
He understood that Tang Hao was probably testing him.
After all, he had exposed his martial soul, attracting a lot of attention. Others, not being soul masters, wouldn't sense anything.
But Tang Hao was the Clear Sky Douluo; his previous soul power was so strong that Tang Hao would definitely sense it.
However, Qian Yu wasn't afraid of Tang Hao.
Although he only had level 30 soul power,
his nine previous lives hadn't been in vain.
His system still stored many powerful soul tools and poisons capable of killing even titled Douluo.
Moreover, his Void Wings could allow him to escape into the void.
If a real fight broke out, even if he wasn't Tang Hao's match now, he could guarantee he could escape safely from Tang Hao's grasp.
So, it all depended on whether Tang Hao intended to kill him or was merely testing him.
If Tang Hao harbored murderous intent, he wouldn't let him off easily.
A powerful pressure immediately descended upon Qian Yu.
Qian Yu's gaze remained calm as he released his soul power, blocking the pressure.
At this moment, Tang Hao was startled.
He had intended to use his pressure to force out Qian Yu's martial soul, but unexpectedly, he had managed to defend against it.
"I didn't expect that this Holy Soul Village would hide someone like you?" Qian Yu said calmly, looking at Tang Hao.
Seeing that the pressure was ineffective, Tang Hao withdrew his pressure and coldly asked Qian Yu, "Who exactly are you?"
