C1 Martial Spirit

Heaven of Martial God Continent, Green Cloud City.

Today was the most important day of every year for Ji Family, the awakening ceremony of the martial spirit. Martial artists could only open the path of cultivation through the awakening of their Martial Spirit. Therefore, for every martial artist, awakening of their Martial Spirit was a critical hurdle.

"Ji Lei, it's your turn."

Along with the figures that went up and came down, the elder in charge of the Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony finally called Ji Lei's name.

Ji Lei slowly walked to the front of the crowd. Behind him, many teenagers looked at Ji Lei with admiration.

Ji Lei had a peerless talent since he was young, and he had displayed the talent for martial arts very early on. He learned martial arts at the age of three, was proficient in swords at the age of six, and was able to capture tigers alive at the age of ten. He was a young hero who had fought against the entire Green Cloud City at the age of eleven, and within the same generation, there was no one who was a match for him anymore …

There was once a powerhouse whose strength had reached the level of "Martial King". After hearing Ji Lei's story, he praised Ji Lei: "This guy's future is limitless. The awakened martial spirit may be able to break through the Profound Rank, and once again it will be above the fifth stage of the Yellow Rank!"

Martial King's words immediately spread across the entire Green Cloud City. Everyone knew that the young genius of the Ji Family had an unlimited future, and it was even rumored that the next Patriarch of the Ji Family had already been decided to give it to Ji Lei!

The grade of a Martial Spirit was divided into four ranks, from high to low, with each grade divided into nine different levels. The highest level that the Ji Family had awakened was the Sixth Rank of the Yellow Rank, and it was rumored that Ji Lei was able to awaken his Profound Rank. This showed just how much confidence and expectation the Ji Family held for Ji Lei. As for Ji Lei, since he was young, he had never let anyone down.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ji Lei saw those eager and attentive faces. However, a trace of unknown meaning flashed across his eyes as the corner of his mouth slightly opened.

"Young Master Ji Lei, with this awakened martial spirit, we can definitely create a history of Ji Family!" A youth beside Ji Lei flattered: "Sixth level Yellow Rank is nothing, with young master Ji Lei's talent, it wouldn't even be surprising if he awakened a Profound Rank's Martial Spirit!"

That youngster's words immediately attracted the approval of all the surrounding Ji Family disciples: "That's right, Young Master Ji Lei is the most dazzling genius in the history of Ji Family, so even if he were to awaken his Profound Rank Martial Spirit, it would be a piece of cake for Young Master Ji Lei!"

There were also some pretty girls that were developing, they all looked at Ji Lei lovingly. Their bodies purposefully got closer to Ji Lei, using their exquisite bodies to quietly rub against Ji Lei. Her eyes brimmed with affection and radiance, she daintily said: "Young Master Ji Lei, after you awaken your Profound Rank Martial Spirit, you can't ignore me anymore!"

Ji Lei didn't care about the expectations of these people. He didn't even want to talk about it.

"Okay, Ji Lei, come on up." The elder on the stage waved his hand at Ji Lei, as if he couldn't wait to see the scene of Ji Lei awakening the legendary one-hundred-year-old Profound Rank Martial Spirit. If Ji Leizhen could do it, then the Ji Family would produce a rare top-notch genius, one that could even be promoted to the "Martial King" realm.

Ji Lei leaped up onto the platform. His white palm slowly touched the black ball in front of him.

The moment Ji Lei pressed his hand against the black ball, everyone held their breath. They wanted to witness the birth of the Profound Rank Martial Spirit with their own eyes!

A yellow light surrounded the black ball for a circle, and the surroundings of the black ball immediately became foggy. When the fog dissipated, everyone opened their eyes wide and saw the answer on the black ball.

Because on the black sphere, there was only one line … Yellow stripes.

Just one thing, and that was … First level of Yellow Rank.

The lowest level one Yellow Rank!

The air suddenly froze, and in that instant, everyone's breathing almost stopped. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the frail figure standing on the platform.

The elder who reported the results stared at the black ball in front of Ji Lei, hoping that there would be more stripes on the black ball.

However, the result left everyone disappointed.

A blue arc of lightning surrounded Ji Lei's wrist. This meant that the Martial Spirit had successfully materialized. After the Martial Spirit had materialized, its grade could no longer be changed.

"Ji Lei... Awakening Martial Spirit, Lightning. Martial spirit grade … a first stage Yellow Rank. " That elder's face became much darker, and all the Ji Family disciples below saw this result, and were all greatly disappointed.

"First stage of the Yellow Rank … Isn't this worse than me? And the genius young master of Ji Family has awakened a trash's first grade Yellow Rank martial spirit! " A sharp taunting voice came from the crowd. Everyone immediately scoffed at Ji Lei as all sorts of jeers and insults followed.

"My expectation was in vain. To think that the martial spirit awakened was actually a trash martial spirit. This Ji Lei is really amazing!"

"What number one genius in Ji Family, you want to awaken your Profound Rank martial spirit? Dream on!"

"Hey," someone elbowed the Ji Family youth who was trying to please Ji Lei and said with a mischievous smile, "Didn't you say that Ji Lei could create history? "How did it turn out like this?"

After the teenager heard this, he calmly said, "Did I say something wrong? Ji Lei had indeed created a history of Ji Family! However, what was created was the history of awakening the lowest ranked martial spirit in the history of Ji Family! "

"Hahahaha..."

Sharp ridiculing laughter rang in his ears. The girls who were secretly sending Ji Lei away were now all showing expressions of disgust, not even willing to look at Ji Lei. There was even a chant at the corner of their mouths, and words like "waste" pierced Ji Lei's ears like cannonballs.

However, Ji Lei's expression remained the same. Not only did he not lose his composure, a trace of happiness even flashed through his eyes.

"Alright, alright, be quiet!" The elder at the side scolded, "What kind of words are you making such a ruckus!"

The racket suddenly stopped. The elder then looked at Ji Lei and snappily said, "Hurry up and go down, don't you think you've lost enough face?"

Ji Lei leaped down and stood within the crowd. Although the surrounding people didn't dare to loudly mock him, they looked at Ji Lei with contempt.

Ji Lei was the son of the Ji Family's Patriarch and his position was originally very high, but after this incident, Ji Lei's position would definitely not be preserved.

A first grade Yellow Rank martial spirit was simply a disgrace to the Ji Family.

"Ji Yun, it's your turn."

As soon as the elder finished speaking, a young man came out of the crowd with his head held high. He was handsome and graceful, walking all the way to the edge of the stage. When he walked past Ji Lei, he did not forget to look at Ji Lei with a mocking gaze and he gently squeezed out two words, "Trash."

Ji Lei raised his head and ignored Ji Yun.

Ji Yun came to the stage and pressed one hand on the black ball. Five yellow stripes immediately appeared on the ball.

"Fifth Rank in Yellow Rank!" The elder was surprised and happy. When the disciples of Ji Family saw this result, even their eyes grew wide.

In Ji Yun's hand, a blood-red broadsword appeared. With a grasp of his hand, the broadsword immediately took shape, and with the blade in hand, Ji Yun majestically looked down at the many Ji Family disciples below the stage.

"Ji Yun has awakened his fifth grade Yellow Rank martial spirit, the Blood King's Saber!"

The Ji Family Elder's face flushed red with excitement. When Ji Lei had fallen to the altar, Ji Yun had risen mightily, and everyone's attention was focused on Ji Yun.

"Big brother Ji Yun is indeed amazing. He's much stronger than that useless piece of trash!"

"Big Brother Ji Yun's martial spirit is actually a fifth stage Yellow Rank Blood King's Saber … "How domineering!"

"Fifth-grade Yellow Rank …" The next Patriarch of Ji Family would definitely be Big Brother Ji Yun. After all, this is the martial spirit of the highest level of Ji Family! "

"Big brother Ji Yun is hiding his strength. He's much stronger than that self-proclaimed genius trash!"

Ji Yun accepted the praise of all the Ji Family disciples and didn't forget to step on Ji Lei when he lifted up Ji Yun.

The pretty girls of Ji Family also threw themselves into Ji Yun's arms, their voices sticky and sour.

Ji Yun looked arrogantly at Ji Lei, who was standing below the stage, and revealed a contemptuous smile: "Did you see that? I am the number one genius of Ji Family, and in the future, you, Ji Lei, are nothing! "

Ji Lei glanced at Ji Yun nonchalantly, but didn't say anything and just walked straight back to his home.

Those contemptuous gazes directly pierced Ji Lei's back, but Ji Lei did not show any signs of grief. His eyes were still as calm as before.

Back at his home, the Thunder Martial Soul that represented disgrace appeared in Ji Lei's hand once again. Ji Lei's originally indifferent eyes suddenly lit up with a hint of passion.

"After so long, the day has finally come …."

Ji Lei held the Thunder Martial Soul tightly and closed his eyes. He used his senses to feel the Thunder Martial Soul's aura and then slowly raised his palm. At that moment, the Thunder Martial Soul actually flashed with a little bit of golden light.

The golden light was gradually separated by Ji Lei, slowly condensing into a brand-new pattern.

Ji Lei opened his eyes and looked at the scattered golden lights. He spat out a word, "Ning."

The golden light immediately condensed into a ball. Following which, under Ji Lei's control, it revealed the outline of a dragon.

Ji Lei was obviously very excited and his eyes brimmed with joy.

"It's finally your turn …" The Unparalleled Martial Soul! "
