Awakening of the Martial Spirit

With Otto leading the way, Lan Si walked through several pedestrian streets and arrived at the Martial Spirit Hall.

The Martial Spirit Hall in Nuoding City was a massive dome-shaped building. It was over a hundred meters wide, twenty meters tall, and had three floors.

The building was brown in color, and the front door only had a symbol of a long sword. This indicated that Nuoding City's Martial Spirit Hall was the lowest tier.

"Hey, isn't this Otto? Are you here to awaken your nephew's martial spirit? Master Su Yuntao just returned, and he's inside. Let the little guy in quickly," a guard recognized Otto as soon as they arrived at the entrance.

The guards were all from commoner backgrounds, and among the commoners in Nuoding City, Otto was somewhat famous. Even some low-level spirit masters would greet him warmly.

"Hehe, thanks," Otto smiled faintly, clearly having a good relationship with the guard. He then patted Lan Si's head and said, "A Si, go inside. Ordinary people aren't allowed in the Martial Spirit Hall. I'll wait for you here."

"Okay." Lan Si showed a childlike, innocent smile and stepped into the hall.

Inside the Martial Spirit Hall, an elderly man with white hair was sitting behind a desk, reviewing documents.

Next to him stood a young man.

This young man looked to be in his twenties, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome appearance. He wore a white suit, a black cape on his back, and at the center of his chest was a fist-sized emblem with the word "Spirit." This was the standard attire of the Martial Spirit Hall's direct personnel.

The young man respectfully handed over a stack of documents: "Master Ma Xiunuo, these are this year's Martial Spirit awakening results."

"Haha, Yuntao, tell me, did you find any promising youngsters?" Ma Xiunuo took the documents and asked kindly while flipping through them.

"Ah, don't even mention it. It's so rare for commoners to produce spirit masters. I finally found a kid in Holy Spirit Village with innate full spirit power, but his martial spirit was the useless Blue Silver Grass. What can Blue Silver Grass do?" Su Yuntao complained, clearly having a good relationship with the old spirit master. He thought to himself, if only I had that innate full spirit power, I would have already become a Spirit Ancestor or even a Spirit King, maybe even a Spirit Emperor. Then I could marry Sisi...

Listening to Su Yuntao's complaints, Ma Xiunuo also regretted the loss of such a talented child with innate full spirit power. He couldn't help but smile, thinking the young man was still a bit rash.

At that moment, a child's voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me, is Master Ma Xiunuo and Master Su Yuntao here? I'm here for the martial spirit awakening."

"Oh, you're here for the awakening? Come in," Ma Xiunuo responded.

The door creaked open, and a pale, delicate-looking young boy walked in—it was Lan Si.

"Hello, Masters," Lan Si greeted them, his eyes quickly scanning the two. The young spirit master, whom he had just heard being called Yuntao outside, must be Su Yuntao. To think that Su Yuntao would be the one hosting his martial spirit awakening.

"Haha, you're the kid from Otto's blacksmith shop, right? Time flies; you're already old enough for the awakening. Your father, Lan Zong, broke through to level 40 in his early thirties... I hope you'll awaken some spirit power." Ma Xiunuo stroked his white beard and sighed.

"Thank you for your kind words." Lan Si smiled calmly.

Ma Xiunuo turned to Su Yuntao, "Yuntao, I'll leave it to you."

"I understand," Su Yuntao replied, feeling a bit down. He had planned to meet Sisi after reporting the awakening results.

"My name is Su Yuntao, a level 26 spirit master. I will guide you through the awakening. Follow me, and remember, don't be afraid no matter what happens next." Upon hearing that Lan Si was the son of a spirit master, Su Yuntao's gloom lifted.

As he spoke, Su Yuntao led Lan Si into a small room next door.

He opened a cabinet and took out six awakening stones and a shining blue crystal ball.

Arranging the awakening stones on the ground in a hexagonal pattern, Su Yuntao pointed to the center of the formation and said, "Stand in the middle. I don't have much time, so let's begin quickly."

"Yes, Master Su Yuntao," Lan Si responded without hesitation and stepped into the formation. He was curious to see what kind of martial spirit he would awaken.

"Wolf Spirit, possess!" Su Yuntao shouted, and his eyes lit up. A faint green light emerged from his brow, and in the next moment, he transformed into a werewolf.

At the same time, a white and a yellow spirit ring rose from beneath his feet, wrapping around him with brilliant light.

"Gray fur with a faint green glow, and those sharp eyes… Why does this look more and more like a human-shaped husky? And a green-glowing husky at that?" Lan Si thought in amazement.

Su Yuntao, thinking Lan Si was stunned with fear, felt a bit smug. He quickly injected his spirit power into the six awakening stones, and the formation began to glow with a layer of golden light, forming a pale golden barrier that enveloped Lan Si.

"This is my Wolf Spirit. If you become a spirit master, you will have similar abilities in the future. Now, extend your right hand," Su Yuntao said authoritatively.

Immersed in the awakening formation, Lan Si was enveloped in golden light.

He felt as if he had entered a mystical, warm world.

Crack!

Lan Si felt something inside him shatter, and all the warmth rushed into his palms, as though something was about to break free.

Sensing the changes in his hands, Lan Si's heart trembled. He knew that he had likely awakened twin martial spirits.

Without hesitation, he clenched his left hand behind his back, suppressing one martial spirit from manifesting.

Following Su Yuntao's instructions, he extended his right hand, and a Green Lotus flower appeared.

The lotus had eight petals, was translucent, and looked natural, with a pale white flame rising from it.

"A lotus flower? And it has a white flame? Is this a mutated martial spirit?" Su Yuntao asked in surprise. He then picked up the blue crystal ball and handed it to Lan Si, now treating him with more respect and smiling kindly, "Little guy, use your mind to withdraw your martial spirit and place your hand on this to test your innate spirit power."

"Okay." Following Su Yuntao's instructions, Lan Si withdrew the blue fire lotus into his body. He noticed that the white flame wasn't coming from his martial spirit but from the Sacred Universe technique. It seemed that this technique had merged with his Green Lotus martial spirit. If that was the case, what about his other martial spirit?

Could his twin martial spirits be derived from the Sacred Universe technique and the Five Thunder Heart technique?

Thinking this, Lan Si placed his hand on the blue crystal ball.

In the next moment, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light.
