A year passed in the blink of an eye.
During this year, Bai Yue felt like he hadn't done much, just refining the nascent Haotian Treasure Record, training the Needle Tailed Swifts, and spending time with Tang Yuehua.
And also being dragged out to play by Niu Li and Tai Meng.
Although Bai Yue lost two free servants after recovering from his illness, he gained two playmates, even if he didn't particularly enjoy playing.
However, occasionally going out to play could relax his mood, it was just that the activities Tai Meng took him to do were a bit too monkey-like.
For example, climbing trees to get bird eggs, or catching fish in the river; in short, these were not things little girls would do.
Even boys doing these things would be laughed at and called 'naughty monkeys'.
While recovering, Bai Yue, Niu Li, and Tai Meng could be said to have developed a good bond, and in the following days, their relationship continued to deepen.
While not close friends or family, they could be considered good companions.
He might not be able to rely on them for major issues, but if he were bullied at the Clan School later, he was sure he could call on these two.
After a year, Bai Yue was now six years old, a crucial age on the Douluo Continent, because it was time to awaken one's Spirit.
Even if one's parents were commoners, there was still a chance to defy fate at this age.
If one could awaken a mutated Spirit, they might become a sought-after Spirit genius, which is often described as "the poor relying on mutation."
Of course, even if one's parents were Spirit Masters, there was no need to be complacent, as mutations could also occur, turning one into a good-for-nothing.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Bai Yue went with Bai He to the Clear Sky Sect's training ground, where many people had already gathered.
Today was the day the Clear Sky Sect awakened Spirits for the eligible children within the Sect, and these people were clearly parents like Bai He, accompanying their children to awaken their Spirits.
At this time, the Clear Sky Sect had not yet split, and the Clear Sky Sect and the Four Single-Attribute Clans were in a state where they were intertwined, so Spirit awakenings were done together.
Upon arriving at the training ground, a Spirit Master came over to greet Bai He.
As one of the Clan Leaders of the Four Single-Attribute Clans, Bai He, though the least prestigious among them, was still a Clan Leader.
Moreover, he was also the current Hao Tian Sect Leader's brother-in-law, so he commanded some respect.
"Old white bird, you've come too."
No one else would greet him this way; it was naturally Yang Wudi. What was even more surprising was that he actually took the initiative to greet him today, so he must be in a good mood.
Among the Four Single-Attribute Clans, Yang Wudi's strength was the strongest; his Soul Breaking Spear could be said to break through anything.
If it came to a fight, even Bai He, Niu Gao, and Tai Tan were not his match. Of course, this was in a one-on-one situation; three against one would definitely be winnable.
His immense strength led Yang Wudi to have an even more arrogant personality than Bai He.
"Old goat, aren't you refining your shoddy medicine? Why do you have the leisure to come here and watch the excitement?"
Bai He was quite surprised. Yang Wudi was extremely passionate about refining medicine, often going days and nights without sleep.
And he would refine medicine whenever he had time; he wouldn't usually come to watch these children awaken their Spirits.
Bai Yue also looked at Yang Wudi. He was as tall and thin as Bai He, with a very gloomy expression.
Yang Wudi was only half a year older than Bai He, so he was also in his middle age, but due to his expertise in medicine, he looked younger than Bai He.
To Bai Yue, this was an old acquaintance.
As Bai He's adopted son, he naturally knew the Clan Leaders of the Clear Sky Sect and the Four Single-Attribute Clans, and they all knew him as well; it wasn't a one-sided acquaintance.
Mainly, Bai Yue was very envious of the Breaking Clan's collection of books on medicine.
However, Yang Wudi was too arrogant and largely ignored him, so he hadn't tried to borrow books, figuring he would likely be turned away.
"I'm here to see my niece," Yang Wudi said flatly. The only one he would refer to as his niece was naturally Yang Wushuang's daughter.
Yang Wushuang was Yang Wudi's younger brother, and the two could be said to be dependent on each other; the Breaking Clan was managed by them.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yue looked ahead. A girl stood in the center of six black stones, with a delicate and beautiful face, and lustrous black hair tied into a simple, neat ponytail.
Compared to Yang Wudi, the girl's expression wasn't as gloomy, but her small face was also cold, a inherited coolness, with an air of seriousness.
This made Bai Yue's mind stir a little.
It wasn't that he was interested in the girl; he wasn't interested in little girls, but Bai Yue was very interested in her family's collection of books.
Given this girl's identity, she would probably be a classmate of his in the Clan School. If he got along well with her, he might be able to borrow the Breaking Clan's books.
The Spirit awakening spirit tool here was being presided over by Yang Wushuang. Six black rays of light shot from the handle of his Soul Breaking Spear and infused into the six black stones.
Immediately, the black stones shone with a golden glow, enveloping the little girl.
Specks of golden light merged into the little girl's body.
As the girl extended her right hand, a black Soul Breaking Spear appeared in her hand. It seemed no Spirit mutation had occurred.
"Daughter, come and test your innate spirit power."
Yang Wushuang picked up the blue crystal ball for testing spirit power and held it out to his daughter.
The little girl retracted her Soul Breaking Spear, clearly having been instructed beforehand, and obediently placed her hand on it.
In an instant, the crystal ball lit up with a dazzling light.
"Innate Rank Eight spirit power! As expected of my daughter."
This level of innate spirit power was clearly among the top in the Breaking Clan; Innate Rank Nine spirit power only appeared in the Clear Sky Sect.
A happy expression flashed across the little girl's face, but it was fleeting. However, this hint of joy was captured by Bai Yue, who possessed the Spirit Clarity Eyes.
After seeing it, Bai Yue felt that while the girl seemed a bit cold, she wasn't completely cold from the inside out.
She probably learned it by observing adults, adopting a cool demeanor. And truthfully, Bai Yue thought the little girl was indeed a bit cool.
"Xiao Yue, you go too."
Bai He congratulated Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang, and Bai Yue then joined the line to awaken his Spirit here.
As Bai He's adopted son, he had some preferential treatment; at least he didn't have to queue like ordinary Sect disciples.
Yang Qingcheng walked out from between the six black stones of Spirit awakening and glanced at the boy walking towards her, thinking he was very handsome.
But even though she thought Bai Yue was very handsome, she only looked at him once, then forced herself to resist the urge to keep looking, turning her head away.
Bai Yue saw Yang Qingcheng turn her head away, wondering what he had done to upset her.
He remembered only seeing this little girl a few times, but it seemed she didn't like him.
Although he felt that his future task of borrowing books had become long and arduous.
But Bai Yue didn't take it too much to heart and instead walked between the six black stone-like Spirit awakening spirit tools.
