4 Another One
With the Spirit Elder's invitation extended and Bibi Dong's acceptance, a new chapter in her life had begun—one filled with boundless potential and extraordinary challenges. But before she could embark on this thrilling journey, a crucial test awaited her—the assessment of her innate soul power.
The Spirit Elder led Bibi Dong to a peculiar orb used for testing. The hushed anticipation within the hall was palpable as all eyes were fixed upon the young girl.
She placed her hands upon the testing orb, and a wave of tension washed over the onlookers.
Silence enveloped the hall as the orb began to glow softly, its ethereal light casting an otherworldly aura around Bibi Dong. The room seemed to hold its breath as the device delved deep into her soul power reserved, measuring the depth of her innate soul power.
The atmosphere was electric, the air charged with anticipation.
The Spirit Elder, his gaze unwavering, watched with keen interest. He knew that the outcome of this test could potentially reshape the destiny of not only Bibi Dong but also the future of Spirit Hall itself.
Seconds stretched into minutes, each passing moment intensifying the suspense. And then, the moment arrived—a moment that sent shockwaves through the entire assembly. The orb's glow brightened, signifying the astonishing result.
Bibi Dong had not just decent innate soul power; she possessed innate full soul power!
A collective gasp swept through the hall as the magnitude of her achievement became clear. In the realm of martial spirit awakening, individuals who had already reached Rank 10 or higher in Soul Power were considered to have Innate Full Soul Power.
It was an exceedingly rare phenomenon, one that elicited both awe and envy. Those who possessed it had the innate ability to reach the highest soul power levels, their cultivation rates surpassing all others.
The Spirit Elder couldn't help but feel a surge of amazement. He knew that Spirit Hall had just discovered a gem of unprecedented brilliance.
Bibi Dong, her eyes shining with elation, couldn't contain her joy. She let out a triumphant cry and began to dance and twirl with youthful exuberance.
Her infectious enthusiasm spread like wildfire, and soon, the hall echoed with her jubilant laughter.
Amidst the celebrations, the children and older individuals couldn't contain their admiration. The older ones whispered among themselves, acknowledging the significance of this moment.
The children, wide-eyed and awestruck, looked up to Bibi Dong with newfound reverence.
Zeng Wei, though initially taken aback by the turn of events, couldn't help but smile.
"What a lucky girl! Did she hog all the luck today?" he muttered to himself.
Despite not knowing her, he felt a genuine happiness for her. It was a sentiment shared by many in the hall.
The joyous occasion was one worth celebrating, and the children who had witnessed Bibi Dong's remarkable awakening couldn't contain their excitement. They offered their heartfelt congratulations, their voices ringing out in a chorus of support and camaraderie.
Bibi Dong, the girl with dual Martial Spirits and Innate Full Soul Power, stood as a symbol of hope and potential. Her journey within Spirit Hall had begun with a flourish of extraordinary promise, and the future held boundless opportunities for her to explore her unique gifts and make her mark upon the world.
The Spirit Elder, with a knowing smile, approached Bibi Dong amidst the cheers and applause. He congratulated her on her remarkable achievement and extended his hand.
"Young one," he said, "your path in Spirit Hall will be nothing short of extraordinary. You have the potential to become a true legend."
Bibi Dong, her heart filled with gratitude and determination, shook the Spirit Elder's hand firmly.
"I am ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead. Thank you for this opportunity, I am still quite shocked by all of this, hehe."
After the jubilant celebrations for Bibi Dong's astonishing awakening, the ceremony continued with renewed fervor. The children who had awakened their martial spirits earlier, while displaying good talent, now seemed to pale in comparison to the brilliance of Bibi Dong's achievement.
One by one, the remaining children stepped forward to undergo their own martial spirit awakenings. Some displayed potential that garnered admiration and applause, yet all of it appeared decidedly ordinary in the wake of Bibi Dong's extraordinary talent.
And then, it was the turn of the final child—Zeng Wei. He had watched as his peers awakened their martial spirits, knowing that Bibi Dong had set a standard that seemed unattainable.
Nevertheless, Zeng Wei approached the awakening platform with a sense of gratitude, thanking the Spirit Elder for his guidance and the opportunity bestowed upon them.
The Spirit Elder, with a warm smile, replied that it was his joy to witness the potential of these remarkable children. Zeng Wei nodded, his heart filled with a mix of anticipation and humility.
As the awakening process began, the elder's senses tingled with an unusual sensation. It was as if the spirit energy required for his awakening was more substantial, more demanding than he had expected.
The atmosphere in the hall grew still, the onlookers holding their breath as they watched the final awakening unfold.
Then, silence descended upon the hall once more—a silence pregnant with astonishment.
Zeng Wei had awakened a Twin Martial Spirit!
As the Twin Martial Spirits manifested before Zeng Wei's eyes, shock and awe washed over him. He had never expected to awaken such powerful martial spirits, let alone Twin Martial Spirit.
The sheer magnitude of this moment overwhelmed him, and he couldn't contain his excitement.
With an exuberant shout that echoed through the hall, Zeng Wei leaped into the air, his heart bursting with joy.
"Wohoooooo, I will be the best soul master there'll ever be!"
The onlookers were captivated by Zeng Wei's unbridled enthusiasm, and their applause and cheers filled the chamber. It was a moment of pure elation, a celebration of the extraordinary potential that lay within this young boy.
Amidst the jubilation, the Spirit Elder approached Zeng Wei, his expression a mix of admiration and curiosity.
"Boy," he began, "what is your name, and what are the names of your martial spirits?"
Zeng Wei, still riding the wave of excitement, replied with a wide grin.
"I am Zeng Wei, Elder. This is the Death Aura Axe," he said, patting the gleaming weapon that hummed with black aura, "and this is the Life Wine Gourd," he continued, indicating the vessel that radiated immense vitality.
The Spirit Elder nodded, taking note of Zeng Wei's unique gifts.
"Zeng Wei, you possess a remarkable and rare talent. Twin Martial Spirits are a precious blessing. I never would imagine that today there'll be two children awakened Twin Martial Spirit! Do you want to join the Spirit Hall like the young lass before?"
Zeng Wei's enthusiasm was undiminished as he looked at the Spirit Elder with determination.
"Elder, I am honored by your invitation to join Spirit Hall. Although, I wanted to join the Spirit Hall, however, I have a condition."
The Spirit Elder, ever the diplomat, smiled warmly and asked.
"What is your condition, young Zeng Wei?"
Zeng Wei's gaze held a deep sense of purpose.
"I want Spirit Hall to provide support to my orphanage and others like it. More initiatives, better facilities, and opportunities for the children who don't have much. Can you promise that?"
The Spirit Elder's smile grew even warmer, and he extended his hand to seal their agreement.
"Consider it done, Zeng Wei. Specify which orphanage you wish to support, and Spirit Hall will provide sponsorship and assistance. Your compassion and vision are qualities we deeply respect."
As the Spirit Elder graciously agreed to Zeng Wei's conditions, the young boy's heart swelled with joy and gratitude. He shook the elder's hand vigorously, his excitement and enthusiasm radiating from him like a beacon of hope. Zeng Wei couldn't contain his elation as he shouted to his orphanage family.
Zeng Wei exclaimed, his voice brimming with enthusiasm.
"Guys I promise, our home will only become better and better!"
His family members, their eyes glistening with tears of pride and happiness, shouted back in celebration, offering their congratulations and heartfelt thanks. They were immensely proud of him and knew that this moment marked the beginning of a brighter future.
"Congratulations, Zeng Wei!"
"Thank you for thinking of us, Zeng Wei!"
"Good job stinky brat!"
"Brother Zeng Wei, you better treat us with a lot of candies in the future! Or I'll tell the villagers about that moment!"
Zeng Wei felt elated by all of the wishes from his family but he can't help sweated a little hearing the last comment by one of the young girls.
'This lass! Watch me how I whoop you ass, hmph!'
Amidst the cheers and warm embraces of his family, Zeng Wei couldn't help but also feel a profound sense of responsibility.
He whispered to himself, a vow born from the depths of his heart.
'I have been chosen to lead my family toward a happier future. I swear that I will not falter or make foolish mistakes in the future. For if I were to stumble from the pedestal I now stand upon, my family would bear the brunt of my future enemies' wrath.'
With his inner oath firmly established, Zeng Wei followed the Spirit Elder to assess his innate soul power. He held a silent prayer in his heart, his thoughts reaching out to the fickle hand of luck.
"Lady Luck, please smile upon me and bless me with exceptional talent. Just Innate Full Soul Power is enough."
With these words of hope in his heart, Zeng Wei strode on the next step to test his innate soul power.
With the Spirit Elder's guidance, Zeng Wei placed his hands on the testing orb, ready to undergo the assessment of his innate soul power. Having witnessed the entire procedure earlier, he was familiar with what to expect.
He took a deep breath and focused his spirit energy, silently praying to Lady Luck that she might bestow upon him a blessing akin to the one received by Bibi Dong.
The atmosphere in the hall crackled with anticipation as the young soul master channeled his spirit energy into the testing orb. The radiant brilliance that followed was nothing short of spectacular, surpassing even the awe-inspiring display witnessed during Bibi Dong's awakening.
The intense light filled every corner of the hall, casting a spell of silence upon the onlookers, who were left in stunned wonderment.
As the brilliance finally subsided, the hall fell into an expectant hush, awaiting the Spirit Elder's proclamation of Zeng Wei's innate soul power. They had presumed that Zeng Wei, gifted with twin martial spirits, would undoubtedly attain the highest talent rank—a perfect 10.
However, moments turned into a lingering silence, and the Spirit Elder remained curiously reticent. The atmosphere grew thick with anticipation, prompting Zeng Wei, unable to contain his curiosity, to poke the elder's belly lightly, hoping to stir a response.
The elderly figure seemed to snap out of a daze, his voice stuttering as he made the astounding announcement.
"Zeng Wei's innate spirit rank is not rank 10, BUT RANK 20!"
A collective gasp of astonishment coursed through the hall.
"WHAT!?"
Then, an eruption of whispered conversations followed. The declaration sent shockwaves through the onlookers, including Bibi Dong, whose expression now bore a mix of bewilderment and disbelief.
Zeng Wei himself couldn't believe his ears. He thought the elder must be jesting.
How could he possibly be ranked at 20 when his martial spirits had yet to acquire any spirit rings?
Yet, the Spirit Elder's demeanor left no room for doubt, and he nodded with a confidence that silenced any skepticism. He reiterated that Zeng Wei had indeed achieved a rank of 20 in innate spirit power.
Zeng Wei's world spun with disbelief, and his heart swelled with an exuberant joy that threatened to burst free.
Unable to contain his elation, he shouted.
"THANK YOU LADY LUCK! I'LL ALWAYS PRAY FOR YOUR WELLBEING AFTER THIS!"
In a jubilant outburst, Zeng Wei began to dance wildly, his youthful spirit soaring as he leaped and twirled in an unrestrained celebration of his unprecedented achievement. He even sang with abandon, his voice ringing with pure happiness and infectious excitement.
The hall, caught up in the whirlwind of Zeng Wei's exuberance just like when Bibi Dong got to know her talent, erupted into applause and cheers. The other children who had borne witness to this remarkable event were equally elated, clapping and cheering to celebrate the young boy's extraordinary success.
Zeng Wei had not only awakened twin martial spirits but had also emerged with innate soul power of rank 20—an astonishing fear that surpassed all prodigies in history!
