Chapter 3: Spirit Awakening
Two months later.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening to her aunt's family, Lin Yan stayed directly in the Mu Mansion and did not return to Spirit City.
After all, the battle that took place two months ago was witnessed by everyone in Shenmu City. The Clear Sky Sect would know about it once they investigated, and there was no guarantee that the Clear Sky Sect would not send people to attack the Mu family.
In addition to the Clear Sky Sect itself, there are four affiliated families waiting to be dispatched. They are quite powerful, so we still need to be on guard.
Originally, elders at the Titled Douluo level rarely had tasks other than cultivation, so Lin Yan treated the days at the Mu family as a vacation.
Lin Yan is in a pretty good mood these days, often teasing her little nephew.
It was not until a message came from Spirit City, asking all elders and bishops to go to Spirit City, that the Mu family became busy.
After receiving the message, the aunt and niece went to Spirit City together.
A dozen days later, Lin Ya returned from Spirit City and brought back earth-shattering news.
Tang Hao, one of the Clear Sky Twin Stars of the Clear Sky Sect, has a wife who is a hundred thousand year old soul beast. The Pope discovered this and took people to capture her.
However, when the hundred thousand year old soul beast was surrounded, it knew that it could not escape the siege, so it chose to sacrifice Tang Hao directly. Tang Hao also relied on the soul power of the sacrifice to break through the nine rings on the spot, used the Clear Sky Sect's unique skill of ring explosion to break through the siege and seriously injured the Pope Qian Xunji.
A few days later, Qian Xunji died of his injuries in Spirit City, and the position of Pope was succeeded by his disciple Bibi Dong.
Under the leadership of Pope Bibi Dong, in the name of revenge for their master, they forced the Clear Sky Sect to close its mountains and close its sect, and the four affiliated families scattered. The father of the current Sect Master Tang Hao also suffered from an old illness, and died of blood-qi attack.
Thus, a new era begins!
Three years later.
Heaven Dou Empire, Lorraine Province, Shenmu City.
In a large manor covering dozens of acres, a boy about six years old was doing physical training on the training ground.
The boy had white hair and red eyes, and his skin was a healthy wheat color. Under the scorching sun, beads of sweat gleamed like raindrops.
"Four hundred and ninety-eight, four hundred and ninety-nine, five hundred!"
Mu Ci silently counted his exercise sets in his mind. This was the day three years ago when he started to systematically train his body.
The wheel of time began to turn, and he could not relax at all.
Qian Xunji's death represents an unprecedented change in the Douluo Continent. The future God King Tang San, who is both the God of the Sea and the God of Shura, is born. The future Rakshasa Empress Bibi Dong, who seems normal but is actually insane, takes the throne and goes to the grave with the Spirit Hall, which has been inherited by the Qian Family for tens of thousands of years.
Whether it is to avenge the hammer blow to the Clear Sky Sect in the future, or to participate in the war of gods in the future to ensure the safety of his relatives, all of these require powerful strength to guarantee.
The inheritance of gods in Douluo Continent is far more than the ones on the surface. Since the Shrek Seven Devils can become gods, then he can too.
"Young Master, the old lady asked me to inform you that it's time to go to the lobby to awaken your Spirit." A maid walked over quickly and said to the young man on the training ground.
"Got it. I'll be there right away." Mu Ci had just completed today's training targets and was walking towards his bedroom.
Hearing this, he nodded and said to the maid who came over: "I'm going to take a shower and change clothes. You go back and tell grandma first."
"Yes." Upon hearing the answer, the maid bowed respectfully and immediately walked quickly towards the lobby.
A quarter of an hour later.
After washing up, Mu Ci came to the lobby of the Spirit Awakening Hall. Looking at his relatives who were waiting for him, he bowed respectfully and said, "Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, I'm late."
Grandpa Mu Changsheng and grandma Lin Ya sat at the top, looking at their eldest grandson kindly. Father Mu Sheng stood beside them, while mother Li Qin walked up to Mu Ci and felt him up and down with a distressed look.
"You kid, you make yourself so tired every day and don't even know how to take a rest." Li Qin looked at her son with a distressed face and touched his head.
Since that day, she watched him train extremely hard, rain or shine.
Although she knew this is good for the future, he is her son after all, and she still hoped he can have a happier childhood.
"Mom, it's okay. I'm used to it." Mu Ci took the hand that was caressing him and said to Li Qin, who had a look of heartache on her face.
Mu Ci looked around, somewhat confused.
"Don't you need to go to the main hall in the city to awaken your Spirit?"
"Silly son, your grandmother is the bishop of our Shenmu City. There is no need for her to go to the main hall to awaken." Li Qin rolled her eyes at Mu Ci, feeling that her son had become stupid from exercising every day.
Mu Ci scratched his head, almost forgetting about this.
Lin Ya, who was sitting nearby, also came over and took over the conversation at the right time.
"Today, grandma will help you awaken your Spirit."
Afterwards, Lin Ya took out six black Spirit awakening stones and a blue and white crystal ball from the storage soul guide she carried with her.
She placed the awakening stones in a hexagram shape under her feet and waved to Mu Ci who was standing beside her.
"Come, stand in the middle."
Hearing this, Mu Ci walked over with a slightly excited look on his face. He had waited for years for his Spirit to awaken, and today his wish was finally fulfilled.
He walked to the center of the magic circle, took a few deep breaths, and said to the kind-looking old woman in front of him, "Grandma, I'm ready."
Lin Ya nodded, and without saying much, summoned her Spirit.
"Spirit Possession."
A faint red soul light emanated from Lin Ya's body, and the temperature around her began to rise suddenly.
The slightly wrinkled face began to become firm and smooth, the slightly hunched figure became upright, and a phoenix with flames burning all over its body appeared behind her.
Looking at the Spirit that appeared behind his grandmother, Mu Ci had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He thought of Ling Yuan Douluo who was far away in Spirit City, his cousin who was very kind to him.
Ever since Bibi Dong became the Pope, even she, the Titled Douluo, has become busy, carrying out missions in various parts of the continent from time to time.
Recalling the hasty death of Ling Yuan Douluo in the future, Mu Ci secretly made up his mind that he would not accept this ending.
There are still at least ten years before the hunt, and many things can change. In order to prevent his family from being wiped out in the future, Tang San has no choice but to suffer.
After being possessed by the Spirit, Lin Ya's senses became sharp. Looking at her grandson's expression, she thought that he was anxious about the awakening of his Spirit.
She smiled faintly and said, "Don't be nervous. The awakening of the Spirit is based on the strength of the bloodline in the body. You are most likely to have inherited the Mu family's inherited Spirit, the Eternal Heaven Tree, or maybe my grandmother's Fiery Spirit Kite. There won't be any accidents."
Thinking of her own Spirit, she smiled and continued.
"If you can awaken the Fiery Spirit Kite, grandma will let your cousin be your mentor and go to Spirit City to study."
When Mu Ci heard what his grandmother said, he began to think secretly in his heart. Although the most likely one was the Eternal Heaven Tree, the Fiery Spirit Kite was not impossible.
Letting cousin Lin Yan be his teacher is not a bad idea. He can also go to Spirit City and get in touch with the original characters.
But no matter which Spirit it is, he must go to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, the blessed land that will be passed down for tens of thousands of years in the future of Douluo Continent, not only to attack Tang San, but also to become stronger and further.
Mu Ci made up his mind, raised his head and nodded to Lin Ya.
"Grandma, let's get started."
A crimson soul power glow shone from Lin Ya's body, and the standard soul rings of two yellow, two purple and four black circled around her body, rising and falling.
The magic circle under Mu Ci also began to glow, and a powerful soul power began to burst out from the magic circle under his feet. The whole person felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, warm.
Many golden spots of light also appeared on Mu Ci's body. Seeing this scene, the four of them began to get excited. Such a huge soul power reaction must be an innate soul power of more than level eight, which is enough for a title!
At this time, Mu Ci felt something beginning to emerge in his body. It began to devour and absorb everything in a very domineering manner, and then merged what it absorbed, as if taking the essence and removing the dross.
Lin Ya felt that her grandson's body began to absorb a large amount of soul power, and she was filled with joy. The most feared thing about the awakening of the Spirit is that there is no movement. On the contrary, the greater the movement, the greater the possibility that the Spirit will become stronger.
Thinking of this, she began to output more soul power.
After a while, Mu Ci's body gradually stabilized, and Lin Ya also withdrew her Spirit.
"Grandson, hold out your hands and let grandma see your Spirit."
