—------------------—
After the ceremony, Xue Tianxing straightened up and stood quietly in the hall waiting.
Xuezhe stood up from the throne, put his hands behind his back, and the ice-blue robe on his body swayed slightly with his movements. He slowly walked in front of him.
"Tian Xing, today is the day you awaken your martial spirit. Are you nervous?"
Xue Tianxing nodded slightly.
How can I not be nervous?
Xue Tianxing knew clearly that he could not compare with Tang San - Tang San had the Xuantian Gong, his father was the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent, his martial spirit was the top-notch Clear Sky Hammer, and even his mother's martial spirit was the noble Blue Silver Emperor. That was a really good start.
But this is not because Xue Tianxing despises his family. It's just that Xue Tianxing knows that the world of Douluo Continent is like this - hard work is important, but the inheritance brought by reincarnation and the strength of the martial soul are the key to determining fate.
So Xue Tianxing could only clench his fists and hope that his luck would be better.
"Do not be nervous."
Xuezhe raised his hand and rubbed the top of his head, then said to Xue Tianxing:
"This is a step that everyone has to take. It's just a normal stage in life."
Yu Ningxin also echoed softly:
"Relax a little, Tianxing."
As he finished speaking, Xuezhe raised his hand, and six pitch-black pebbles suddenly flew out from his wide ice-blue robe sleeves.
The pebble drew six arcs in the air. Xuezhe condensed a wisp of blue soul power at his fingertips and gently pushed it forward. The soul power then penetrated into the pebble like a silk thread.
"Hum—"
The round stone suddenly glowed faintly, then flew to Xue Tianxing's side and began to spin around him rapidly.
As the speed increased, golden light gradually spread on the surface of the pebble, and circles of light spread outward, eventually enveloping Xue Tianxing entirely.
The moment Xue Tianxing was wrapped in the warm golden light, his tense shoulders relaxed quietly.
The palms that were clenched just now slowly relaxed, and the anxiety in my heart dissipated little by little like tea brewed in warm water, and was replaced by a rare calmness, and even my breathing slowed down.
At this moment, an extreme chill surged out of Xue Tianxing's body without warning.
"hiss--"
Xue Tianxing shuddered subconsciously, feeling that all his limbs were immersed in ice water. Even the air around him was frosted, and a thin layer of ice was silently covering the floor tiles in the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a clear cry suddenly exploded, piercing through the silence of the hall and making people's ears numb.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an ice-blue figure slowly solidifying from behind Xue Tianxing - the shadow was covered in ice-blue feathers, and the edges of each feather were dotted with tiny ice crystals. The halo hanging from the wingtips revealed a bit of sacred majesty.
"This…this is…"
Xuezhe's eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously took a half step back, even his voice trembling.
He had lived for most of his life and had seen countless martial spirits, but he had never seen an existence with such momentum.
Yu Ningxin also frowned, his eyes fixed on the ice-blue figure, and murmured softly:
"Could it be... a phoenix?"
Before he finished speaking, the shadowy figure suddenly spread its wings, and its ice-blue wings almost took up half of the space in the hall. Wherever the wings swept past, the air became even colder.
It stood steadily behind Xue Tianxing. Another phoenix cry broke through the palace. The voice carried an unquestionable pressure, which made Xuezhe and others subconsciously bend over. An inexplicable urge to surrender arose in their hearts.
Xuezhe was brought back to his senses by the Phoenix's cry. Feeling the heavy pressure from his martial soul, the shock on his face gradually turned into ecstasy - how could he not understand?
My son's spirit has mutated!
It is the rarest benign mutation, which is to jump directly from an ice bird to an ice phoenix!
Xuezhe suppressed his excitement and quickly waved to Xue Tianxing:
"Tian Xing! Come on, let's test your innate soul power!"
The eagerness in his voice could not be hidden, and even his fingertips trembled slightly with excitement.
Upon hearing this, a pale blue chill condensed in Xue Tianxing's body, and he took the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul into his body.
Then, just as Xue Tianxing was raising his hand to walk towards the location of the soul power test, everyone present suddenly felt the air around them stagnate - the moment the Ice Phoenix disappeared, a blazing golden light suddenly exploded behind Xue Tianxing. The light was so bright that even the dust in the air was dyed with a layer of warm gold.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic and sacred aura surged from Xue Tianxing.
Before everyone recovered from the shock, they saw a figure slowly emerging from behind Xue Tianxing. Behind that figure, three pairs of wings were spread out, and each feather was glowing with a lustrous light - it was actually a six-winged angel!
"This…this is…"
Xuezhe clenched his fists suddenly, his knuckles turning white, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Xue Tianqi and Xue Tianning opened their mouths wide, looking at each other, and it took them a while to find their voices:
"Twin...twin martial souls? Tianxing actually has twin martial souls?"
The shock on the brother and sister's faces almost overflowed, and their eyes looking at Xue Tianxing were mixed with surprise and confusion.
Xue Tianxing himself stood there in a daze, his eyes fixed on the pair of six-winged angels, then he suddenly turned to look at his mother beside him.
Yu Ningxin's face turned pale, her lips were tightly pursed, and her fingertips were unconsciously twisting her sleeves. Her bewildered look made Xue Tianxing's mind suddenly brighten - his mother's surname was Yu, and when he thought of the surname of the angel's descendant in "The Ultimate Tang Sect", an idea instantly popped into his mind.
Xue Tianxing then understood that the reason why his mother never displayed her martial spirit easily over the years was because she was actually a collateral descendant of the angel martial spirit of the Spirit Hall. His mother's martial spirit might be an angel, but not a six-winged angel!
"Tian Xing!"
Yu Ningxin suddenly came back to her senses, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xue Tianxing's wrist, and said anxiously:
"Quickly put this spirit away! Listen, from now on, unless it's a life-or-death situation, you must never let it show even a little bit. Remember?"
Xuezhe also recovered from his shock, the excitement on his face faded, replaced by a deep seriousness.
He patted Xue Tianxing's shoulder and said solemnly:
"Your mother is right. This martial spirit has a huge impact. It must not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."
Xue Tianxing nodded, and his soul power moved again. The golden light gradually faded, and the shadow of the six-winged angel quietly disappeared.
Xue Tianxing certainly understood his parents' concerns - the ambitions of the Spirit Hall over the years had long been obvious to everyone. If people knew that he had awakened the six-winged angel spirit, who knows how much trouble it would cause.
I think it must have taken a lot of effort for my mother to be able to be with my father, and she must have hidden too many things in her heart.
Seeing Xue Tianxing put away his martial spirit, Xuezhe turned to look at Xue Tianqi and Xue Tianning, his eyes sharp, and then said to them:
"Listen up, both of you. Keep today's events to yourself. Tell everyone that Tianxing has awakened the Ice Phoenix Spirit. Not a single word of deviation. Do you understand?"
"Understood! Don't worry, Father!"
Xue Tianqi and Xue Tianning nodded hurriedly. They were too busy to be surprised at the moment. They just knew that this matter had to be kept secret.
