"Rise of the Martial Spirit: Level 7 Martial Spirit"

"Level 10 Martial Spirit, it's actually a Level 10 Martial Spirit!"

A Level 10 Martial Spirit is rarely seen, not just in Canglan County, but in the entire Luo Tong Kingdom!

Huang Ming tightly grips his fists as he sees his son with the Three-Eyed Black Tiger floating behind him. He is filled with excitement, causing his body to tremble slightly.

Huang Qide's laughter echoes throughout the main hall for a long time.

Coming to the Martial Hall this time, he never expected such a tremendous surprise!

"Good, good, good!" Huang Qide exclaims with laughter repeatedly. He takes a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart as much as possible.

His eyes are filled with joy and affection as he looks at his grandson who possesses a Level 10 Martial Spirit. He firmly believes that with their wholehearted training in Huang Family Manor, this grandson with a Level 10 Martial Spirit will surpass the boundaries he himself could never achieve in this lifetime!

At that moment, Huang Peng approached Huang Ming and sincerely congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Big Brother."

Huang Ming looked at Huang Peng's face and warmly patted his shoulder. With a smile, he replied, "Thank you, Second Brother!" He then added, "Perhaps Xiaolong's Martial Spirit Awakening has resulted in a Level 10 Martial Spirit." However, it was clear to anyone listening that Huang Ming's words were meant to provide comfort. After all, how many people could actually possess a Level 10 Martial Spirit?

The elders and several managers from Huang Family Manor also came forward, offering their heartfelt congratulations to Huang Ming.

Huang Qide, at the center of the main hall, beckoned Huang Wei with a smile and said, "Wei'er, come here."

"Yes, Grandfather," Huang Wei complied. As he passed by Huang Xiaolong, he discreetly glanced at him. Although others might not have noticed, Huang Xiaolong keenly sensed the self-satisfaction and arrogance in Huang Wei's eyes.

"Level 10 Martial Spirit." Huang Xiaolong calmly gazes at Huang Wei's disdainful figure.

Although Huang Wei is his cousin, their relationship is far from cordial. Two years ago, Huang Wei and some of the elder's sons from Huang Family Manor bullied Huang Xiaolong's younger sister, Huang Min. However, when Huang Xiaolong confronted them, the outcome was predictable. He had thoroughly beaten Huang Wei and his accomplices, leaving them in a pitiful state. Since then, Huang Wei has held a strong grudge against Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Wei approaches Huang Qide, whose face is adorned with a warm smile. Huang Qide extends his hand and gently tousles Huang Wei's hair, his expression full of affection. Turning to Huang Ming, he says with a smile, "Huang Ming, you have done well. You have given me a fine grandson!"

Hearing his father's praise, Huang Ming smiles, feeling slightly embarrassed. "Father, shall we proceed with the awakening ceremony?" he asks.

Huang Qide nods, realizing that it is not the appropriate time to delve into such matters. He responds with a smile, "Yes, let us continue with the awakening ceremony."

After Huang Wei, it was Huang Xiaolong's turn to undergo Martial Spirit Awakening. As Huang Qide's voice resounded, all the elders, managers, and disciples in the main hall turned their attention to Huang Xiaolong. Being the grandson of the Old Manor Lord, just like Huang Wei, who possessed a Level 10 Martial Spirit, what about Huang Xiaolong?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Huang Xiaolong calmly stepped into the hexagonal pattern of light beams. As he entered, Huang Peng and Su Yan tightly held each other's hands, their hearts filled with anticipation and anxiety, their eyes flickering with nervousness.

Not long after Huang Xiaolong entered the light beam, similar to Huang Wei, a cluster of black light emerged around his body. Witnessing this, the onlookers were taken aback. However, in that moment, a brilliant blue light radiated from Huang Xiaolong, flickering with an extraordinary aura.

Then, behind Huang Xiaolong and above his head, a phantom figure formed, comprising a black snake-like head and a blue snake-like head, intertwining together, revealing his Martial Spirit's unique appearance.

I apologize for any confusion caused. Here's the revised version without line breaks:

People look at each other in dismay. Double-Headed Snake Martial Spirit? However, according to their knowledge, the Two-Headed and body of the Double-Headed Snake Martial Spirit should be scarlet yellow in color. But the Two-Headed before them was one black and one blue, with a body that was also black and blue.

Huang Qide looked at the Martial Spirit behind Huang Xiaolong with a doubtful and disappointed expression. In his opinion, Huang Xiaolong's Martial Spirit was just a variation of the Double-Headed Snake Martial Spirit, which was not uncommon among disciples of prestigious families. However, the regular Double-Headed Snake Martial Spirit was only a Level 7 Martial Spirit. Although Level 7 was considered high-level, compared to Huang Wei's Level 10 Martial Spirit, the difference was like night and day.

Huang Peng and Su Yan's facial expressions mirrored Huang Qide's disappointment as they observed their son's Martial Spirit. While a Level 7 Martial Spirit showed commendable talent compared to other disciples of Huang Family Manor, as parents, they couldn't help but hope that their son would possess a Level 10 Martial Spirit.

"Village Lord, do you look?" Chief Steward Chen Ying looks to Huang Qide.

Huang Qide hesitates, saying, "This is a Level 7 Martial Spirit, a variation of the Double-Headed Snake."

In the main hall, the Huang Family Manor elders and Manager also secretly nod. Obviously, they agree with the view of the Old Manor Lord Huang Qide.

Level 7 Martial Spirit, variation Double-Headed Snake? Huang Xiaolong steps out of the hexagonal pattern light beam, remaining calm. Only he knows that his Martial Spirit within his body should not be as simple as a Level 7 Martial Spirit variation of the Double-Headed Snake.

Seeing that Huang Xiaolong's Martial Spirit is only a Level 7 variation of the Double-Headed Snake, Huang Wei's mouth curls downward, and his eyes provoke Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong notices Huang Wei's provocative look but doesn't pay much attention to a kid's antics. He remains indifferent.

After Huang Xiaolong, it was Zhou Xuedong, the son of an elder in Huang Family Manor, called Zhou Guang, who underwent Martial Spirit Awakening. Zhou Xuedong had been involved in bullying Huang Min in the past, but was dealt with by Huang Xiaolong, one of Huang Family Manor's disciples.

Soon, it was Zhou Xuedong's turn for Martial Spirit Awakening, but he only had a Level 6 Martial Spirit called Blood Eyes Wolf.

Following Zhou Xuedong, the twenty junior members of Huang Family Manor underwent Martial Spirit Awakening one after another. Most of them had Level 4, Level 5, or Level 6 Martial Spirits, while a few had low-level Martial Spirits and even one had a Level 2 Martial Spirit, which was considered to be a waste.

In this Martial Spirit Awakening, Huang Xiaolong was the second to awaken his Martial Spirit, but like the other junior members of Huang Family Manor, his achievement of having a Level 10 Martial Spirit was overshadowed by Huang Wei.

As the Martial Spirit Awakening ceremony concluded, Huang Qide smiled and said to Huang Ming, Huang Peng, and the elders present, "From now on, Huang Wei's training will be personally guided by me."

Personally guided?! This announcement surprised the people.

"Yes, father!" Huang Ming's face lit up with happiness as he responded.

Upon hearing that his father, Huang Qide, would personally guide his older brother son Huang Wei, Huang Peng looked at his son Huang Xiaolong and sighed inwardly.

After a while, the Martial Hall closed, and the people dispersed.

Returning to the East Palace Institute, Su Yan expressed her discontent, saying, "Father is too biased. He wants to personally guide Huang Wei's training, but what about Xiaolong? Isn't he also his grandson?"

Huang Peng furrowed his brow, waved his hand, and exclaimed, "That's enough. Let's not talk about this matter again." In his heart, he was worried, but he also understood that since Huang Wei had a Level 10 Martial Spirit, it was only natural for father Huang Qide to personally guide his training.

"Xiaolong, your talent is also good. With your talent, if you diligently practice, becoming a Rank 8 powerhouse won't be difficult in the future," Huang Peng turned around and said to Huang Xiaolong.

"I understand, father," Huang Xiaolong said. He was about to mention that his Martial Spirit was more than just a Level 7 Martial Spirit, but he decided against it.

After a while, Huang Peng gave Huang Xiaolong a Battle Qi Cultivation Technique to practice, and he explained some important points about cultivating Battle Qi. Huang Xiaolong listened attentively, taking it to heart.

Leaving the palace institute, Huang Xiaolong returned to his small courtyard. He skimmed through the Battle Qi Cultivation Technique his father had given him, then sat cross-legged and began absorbing the world's spiritual energy according to the first layer of the Cultivation Technique.

As Huang Xiaolong activated his Cultivation Technique, his Martial Spirit, the variation Double-Headed Snake, appeared behind him. The two heads of the Level 7 Martial Spirit variation Double-Headed Snake opened their mouths wide, suddenly engulfing the surrounding spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the vicinity gathered at an astonishing speed, crackling with explosive intensity.

Huang Xiaolong's meridians were continuously flooded with the world's spiritual energy swallowed by the Double-Headed Snake, gradually transforming into Battle Qi.

As night approached, the moonlight cast a gentle glow through the window into the yard.

After a while, Huang Xiaolong opened his eyes, his complexion appearing strange. Just moments ago, he had followed the meridian pathway outlined in the Battle Qi Cultivation Technique, the Profound Azure Cultivation 1st layer, given to him by his father. Surprisingly, he had smoothly completed the circulation without any difficulties or obstructions!

In just a few hours, not only had he successfully condensed his Battle Qi, but he also broke through to Rank 1, becoming a Rank 1 Warrior!

A sense of absurdity welled up in Huang Xiaolong's heart. He recalled his father mentioning that his grandfather, Huang Qide, took an entire half year to break through to Rank 1 and become a Rank 1 Warrior. And his grandfather possessed the top-tier Martial Spirit, the Six Wings Golden Monkey, at Level 8.
