Ever since that day, Qian Renxue had become a frequent visitor to Yunchuan's place. Whenever Bibi Dong was away attending to government affairs, she would sneak in to play with him. Sometimes, she would tell him her innermost thoughts and pour out her troubles.
Yunchuan, faithfully maintaining his childish persona, acted bewildered at her mumblings, but inwardly, he had memorized everything she said. He tried to analyze her personality and mental processes, to determine the right attitude and methods to win her over.
Whenever Qian Renxue sneaked in to play with him, she would sometimes lose track of time, only to be bumped into by Bibi Dong, who had just returned.
With a cold expression,
the little Qian Renxue would slink out of the room like a child who had done something wrong, her head hanging low.
But most of the time, Qian Renxue managed to leave before Bibi Dong returned. Yunchuan was certain that Bibi Dong knew that Qian Renxue secretly came to play with him every day, but for some reason she feigned ignorance.
After all, she still held a motherly love for her, so if she didn't see it, she'd just pretend not to see it.
Time
slipped by quietly.
In the blink of an eye, Yunchuan was six years old.
In those six years, he had diligently acted like a child. He hadn't acted out of character in the slightest, playing when he should, making noises when he should. It was as if he completely treated the Spirit Hall like his own home. With the Pope's support, Yunchuan could do whatever he wanted.
His current status within the Spirit Hall wasn't that of a Holy Son, nor was it just another Spirit Hall disciple. He was the Pope's adopted son. Bibi Dong was his nominal mother.
And today, he turned six.
The moment that would determine his fate had arrived!
The Spirit Awakens!
Douluo Continent was a world that placed great emphasis on bloodlines and talent. As long as you possess a superior spirit, and don't die prematurely, you'll surely rise to the pinnacle of your future. Conversely, if you're a worthless one, you'll be trampled in the mire for a lifetime, struggling to survive! The most typical example is Dashiyu Xiaogang.
Therefore, for those on Douluo Continent, the awakening of a spirit is truly a fateful moment!
Whether you're a dragon or a worm, today's the day!
...
Awakening Hall!
This is a majestic and magnificent hall.
It's the place where the spirits of the spirit hall's high-ranking disciples awaken their spirits. Aside from an awakening formation in the center, there's nothing else inside. However, the surrounding walls are covered in murals and sculptures depicting angels battling evil monsters, radiating light and saving humanity. The overall atmosphere is quite ceremonial.
Bibi Dong's delicate hand held Yunchuan's as he slowly stepped into the hall. He was the only one awakening his spirit in the Awakening Hall today. It wasn't some special privilege; it simply happened that there weren't any children his age present today.
Six years old is the optimal age for awakening a spirit. Not more, not less.
Several waiters were already waiting in the hall. Seeing Bibi Dong enter, hand in hand with a six-year-old child, they hurriedly bowed.
"Greetings, Pope!"
Bibi Dong's expression was serene, and she said nothing more. She simply released Yunchuan's hand and gestured for him to enter the central Awakening Formation. A faint smile finally appeared on her noble face, as if encouraging him not to be afraid.
Yunchuan, only six years old this year, had long hair like jet-black jade, skin so pale it seemed to shimmer, and his face, a masterpiece of divine perfection, seemed to be filled with anxiety at the fateful moment that lay ahead. But with his mother's encouragement,
the panic in his stark black eyes finally faded, and he became determined.
Step by step, his petite body finally entered the Awakening Formation.
"Good boy,"
Bibi Dong said with a loving smile, as if proud of her son's bravery. She looked like a doting mother, a fool.
Over the past six years, Yunchuan had exhausted all his skills and had finally succeeded in boosting this woman's favorability to the extreme!
Next,
the official awakening of the spirit began!
The person presiding over the awakening ceremony was undoubtedly the Pope. While awakening a spirit doesn't necessarily improve simply because the person presiding over it is more powerful,
the purpose was the sense of ritual! Otherwise,
there wouldn't be any need to come to the Awakening Hall specifically to awaken. With the Awakening Formation, one could awaken a spirit anywhere. The Spirit Hall wouldn't even need to build a dedicated Awakening Hall.
"Chuan'er, relax. Don't be afraid," Bibi Dong said gently. Then, with a wave of her hand, the awakening formation in the center began to glow! Even the various sculptures and murals surrounding the hall began to glow, clearly showing that these things were more than just decoration.
Yunchuan's name in this life would naturally remain Yunchuan. Perhaps due to his cheat attribute panel, Bibi Dong had somehow chosen the same name as his previous life when she decided to name him.
Yunchuan slowly closed his eyes within the awakening formation, feeling a warmth wash over him, as if he were back in his mother's womb. Truly! As a transmigrator who had possessed consciousness since the womb, he guaranteed this feeling was exactly like being in the womb!
"Bang!"
It felt as if some barrier within him shattered.
Yunchuan, eyes tightly shut, instinctively extended his right hand. A hammer slowly materialized. However, as he grasped it, his hand felt heavy. Unable to hold onto the object, it slipped from his grasp and slowly fell to the ground.
"BOOM!!!"
The entire hall shook!
Not only the hall, but the entirety of Wuhun City was shaken. It was as if an earthquake had struck!
And the culprit behind all this was simply the small hammer that had slipped from his grasp and fallen to the ground.
Yunchuan slowly opened his eyes and instinctively glanced down, only to be met with a hammer that was practically full of special effects!
It was a cylindrical hammer, golden in color, as if crafted from the purest gold. It was covered in intricate patterns and adorned with a variety of colorful gemstone crystals!
But the most striking thing, of course, was the golden hammer's constant blazing white light, the occasional flashes of blue electricity, and the dense crimson flames that covered its entire shaft! Putting aside
the imposing and magnificent design of the golden hammer itself, the flickering light, the blazing flames, and the constant crackling of lightning made it clear at a glance that it was something far more extraordinary!
"This is my martial spirit..."
Yun Chuan watched the golden hammer fall to the ground, cracking the hard floorboards. He instinctively bent down and reached for the handle!
As soon as he grasped it, a feeling of empathy washed over him, as if the hammer were a part of him. He could pick it up anytime he wanted.
As for the blazing flames and crackling electricity, they couldn't harm him at all. It was his martial spirit, a part of him. How could he possibly hurt himself?
Yun Chuan gripped the golden hammer's handle tightly and lifted it upwards with all his might!
The small hammer didn't move at all.
He just felt like he was holding a mountain.
Heavy, extremely heavy.
This thing was clearly a part of him, but he just couldn't move it freely. It seemed that he couldn't even pick it up? Yunchuan was a little skeptical. He also grasped the hammer handle with his other hand, and pulled upwards with both hands at the same time, trying hard to lift the small hammer.
But this small hammer with full special effects didn't move at all no matter how hard he tried. It was as if the hammer head had taken root in the ground and merged with the earth!
