The continent of Sky Spinning, where martial arts reign supreme.
On the continent of Sky Spinning, the path of Martial Arts has proliferated to its peak. Even the weakest martial artists have the strength of ten million jin, can break boulders and run on walls with ease. And the powerful martial artists can cut rivers, split mountains, explore the vast emptiness, and create their own world.
Martial Arts, they determine one's fate of life and death.
The strong enjoy incense and respect, contribute to creation, and overlook the world, while the weak have no position and are bullied by others.
Martial Soul, an innate talent of the people in the Sky Spinning Continent. Everyone can awaken their Martial Soul on their 16th birthday, and a person's achievement in the path of Martial Arts is determined by the strength of their Martial Soul.
There are many types of Martial Souls, roughly divided by people into Nature, Beast, Mutant Martial Souls, etc. Martial Souls have ranks: "Heaven", "Earth", "Mystery", and "Yellow". Each rank has nine grades.
When a person's Martial Soul awakens, different colors of halos and numbers will wrap around the Martial Soul.
Each grade corresponds to a different color. The rank Heaven corresponds to black, Earth to brown, Mystery to blue, and Yellow to gold.
If a person's Martial Soul is surrounded by five golden halos, it represents that their Martial Soul talent is Grade 5 Yellow.
......
Shenwu Country, Yancheng, Li's Mansion.
A young man leisurely lounged under a willow tree, his young face rather unremarkable, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old.
A sense of melancholy and depression radiated from the young man's eyes, entirely uncharacteristic of someone his age.
"Sixteen years," the young man sighed softly. "I've been in this strange world for a full sixteen years; Whether I'm a dragon or a worm, today's the day we'll see."
Nobody would have thought that within this sixteen-year-old boy was, in fact, a soul that had already lived for thirty years.
His name is Li Xuan, and he is not from this world.
To be more precise: he comes from a blue planet and he is an archaeologist from the 21st century!
Li Xuan went to an ancient tomb for an archaeological dig, where he accidentally found a pearl that had strange runes inscribed on it. Li Xuan knew that this could be of great academic value.
However, before Li Xuan could bring it out, the ancient tomb suddenly shook violently and a huge rock fell, knocking Li Xuan unconscious.
Before he fainted, Li Xuan saw a golden light accompanied by a dragon's roar entering his mind.
When Li Xuan woke up again, he found that he was reborn in a world called "Polar Star Continent."
Having no attachments from his past life, Li Xuan did not fear starting over in this new world. The only thing that pained him was that his mother had died from a difficult birth.
Thus, Li Xuan began to understand and adapt to this new world.
Time passed swiftly, and sixteen years passed in the blink of an eye.
On the Polar Star Continent, human beings are able to awaken their martial souls at the age of sixteen and cultivate through absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
The strength of one's martial soul is crucial for a warrior. In a small city like Yan City, anyone who has a martial soul ranking at the fifth yellow grade would be hailed as a genius and receive numerous resources from their family to cultivate. Such a gifted individual could very likely become the pillar of their family as long as they did not die young.
If a commoner happened to awaken such a martial soul, they would certainly be recruited by one of the major families and start their journey to the pinnacle of life, possibly even attracting the admiration of rich daughters!
"Today is a big day for our Li family. As the head of the family, I, Li Kun, am here to announce an important matter that concerns everyone's interests!" A burly and imposing man stands on the elevated stage, his gaze sweeping over the audience.
Many disciples of the Li family on the square look towards the stage, their eyes focused on Li Kun.
"I, Li Kun, have been the head of the family for sixteen years. Now we are at the dawn of a new generation. I propose that in this group of disciples, anyone who awakens a martial soul of the sixth yellow grade or above will be included in the rank of junior clan head, with control over some resources. After three years, whoever achieves the highest position will become the head of the family!"
Li Kun's words were like a huge rock falling into the water, stirring up thousands of waves!
The elders of the Li family were all taken aback, their gazes swishing around before finally settling on Li Xuan.
Everyone knew that Li Kun was paving the way for Li Xuan!
Li Xuan's growth experience could be called a miracle. From a young age, he displayed a calmness and focus not matching his age. When he was building the foundation in his early years, many children gave up, but only Li Xuan persisted for ten years.
On the path of martial arts, Li Xuan had excellent talent. The three realms of physical training were marrow cleansing, bone cutting, and blood and Qi! Li Xuan had already broken through bone cutting at the age of ten, and now he is almost breaking through blood and Qi!
Although he has not awakened his martial spirit now, no matter who it is, they don't think that Li Xuan's martial spirit level will be low. Some even predict that Li Xuan's level will not be lower than level 7 of the Yellow level!
Most of the elders remained silent when they heard this, even though they knew it was paving the way for Li Xuan. But what Li Kun did was within the rules, and they had nothing to say about it.
The younger disciples of the Li family below didn't know about the twists and turns, and their feelings surged. Even those disciples who usually didn't stand out, their eyes shone with excitement at this moment, and their breathing became heavier.
The status of the Young Clan Leader, even if it's just an alternate, entails access to the support of a wealth of clan resources! Even if you can't become the Clan Leader in the end, you'll also become a strong successor for the Elder's position!
"There is more good news. The day for the Xuanling Sect to recruit disciples will be held here in our Yan City," Li Kun said with a smile on his face. He had paid a great deal to get the Xuanling Sect to recruit disciples here.
At these words, the disciples of the Li family were overjoyed!
What's the Xuanling Sect?
The Xuanling Sect is the top cultivation sect in the Divine Martial Kingdom! It's the dream cultivation ground for every gifted disciple, with countless martial arts techniques and practices!
Even royal disciples need real talent to enter the Xuanling Sect, otherwise, the Xuanling Sect won't give you a second glance!
However, to prevent all the young talents from being gathered by the sects, the Divine Martial Kingdom has issued restrictions.
Each sect can only recruit disciples once every three years, and each recruitment cannot exceed five hundred people! Moreover, disciples are not allowed to learn martial arts in their sect privately. Once discovered, their entire family will be eradicated.
Moreover, the recruitment location for each sect is subject to their own regulations, and the royal family will also send people to supervise.
“Silence!” Li Kun's smile faded away, and he regained his dignity, "The Clan Head wishes everyone here could awaken an excellent martial soul, let's get started without further delay!"
“The awakening ceremony begins! The first one, Li Tian!” The Fifth Elder held the awakening list and read aloud to the first person.
A young man clad in hemp clothing, somewhat at a loss, walked up to the altar from the crowd.
"It's fine, sit on the altar, place your hand on the soul stone, and you can sense your martial soul." The Fifth Elder identified the young man's reticence and chuckled comfortingly.
The young man bashfully nodded, went to the center of the altar, sat cross-legged, and placed his hand on a dark stone, closing his eyes.
Oom!
a tremor in the void!
Just as the dark soul stone emitted an unusual halo, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly surged and circulated around the altar.
The spiritual energy congregated above the young man's head!
In an instant, a tiger's roar resonated in everyone's eardrums. A black-as-ink tiger appeared above the young boy's head. Its tiger eyes were extremely sharp as they scanned the audience, its aura domineering utterly!
