<h4>Chapter 2: Awakening</h4>
Lin Lee is standing outside in the courtyard.
"Let''s see what the 2nd level martial artist''s strength looks like," Lin Lee muttered, recalling the technique in his mind. He nced at the boulder at the corner of his courtyard.
Appeared in front of it punched, instantly a warm current traveled through his meridian and shrouded his fist, sted the boulder,
Boom!
Small debris flew around; the boulder shook and cracked a little, but there wasn''t any substantial damage. Still, Lin Lee was surprised by this kind of strength he didn''t have in previous lives.
"So at the 2nd martial artist level, pure strength is almost equal to 400 kg; also, each next level will double the strength: 800 kg at the 3rd level, and 1600kg at the 4th level martial artist, and so on." Lin Lee muttered, his eyes lit up in excitement, looking at the suns in the sky and Lin n buildings around.
''What kind of future awaits me? I will engrave my legend on this unmeasurable spirit continent.'' He thought resolutely with a solemn expression.
...
Next day,
Lin Lee appeared in the main hall of the Lin n.
Looking at the empty main hall, there were a few young boys and girls of the same age as him talking and whispering; all of them were main family children.
The Lin n is divided into two branches: the main family and the coteral family.
The main familyprises the core of the Lin n, such as captains of the guards, elders, n heads, and business heads, who are always selected from the main family.
The coteral family, on the other hand, is the exterior of the Lin n, consisting ofborers, normal guards, business managers, and branch managers.
"They are also here to awaken the martial spirit. Lin n isrger than I thought," Lin Lee thought to himself as he walked toward the main family seating area and sat down in the third seat that belonged to him.
Soon, a few young people appeared with two or three followers and maids behind them.
Observing them, Lin Lee raised his brow as two of them nced at him. Instantly, their faces changed, but they managed to control their expressions as they walked calmly toward the main family seats.
''So these two guys are behind the poisoning of the previous unfortunate owner,'' Lin Lee thought to himself. He saw through their facial expressions, even though they tried their best to hide it.
''Next, let''s see if any elder is involved in it. If so, then I have to be careful; these worlds of eastern fantasy are very outrageous.
Lin Lee thought to himself. Soon, elders and the n owner appeared, and all family members stood up, greeting the owner.
Lin Lee also stood up, sping his fist and bowing a little, thoughtfully. ''These courtesies here are simr to old Asian culture on earth, where you have to bow to greet, kneel to request, and kowtow to show respect. I grew up in modern times on earth; I only heard about them from my father; I didn''t expect that one day I would do these courtesies.''
"All sit down," the family owner said. He was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with golden patterns, a ck goatee, and a long mustache, with ck hair bound in a knot with a crown-like golden pin behind him.
This was amon hairstyle Lin Lee saw on almost everyone. Looking at the elders'' expressions, except for two great elders who looked like old people, the other elders appeared as young middle-aged men.
''No one showed a surprised expression by looking at me. It seems no elder or owner is involved in my poisoning, but I still have to be cautious. These old guys may be experts in hiding their expressions,'' Lin Lee thought to himself.
"Start the ceremony," n owner Lin Zhang announced, looking at the elder presiding on the stage.
"First, Lin Yun," the elder standing on stage called a name.
A slim and beautiful girl stood up from the main family station, with creamy white skin wearing white clothes, lengthy dark hair straightened behind her back, and cold, reflecting ck eyes—a ssic iceberg beauty.
She walked toward the stage with her lotus steps, and all n members straightened up, including the n owner, because this girl was none other than the only daughter of the n owner. She was the most talented female in the n.
"Cousin Yun''er is really attractive," one of the young masters sitting in the main family stationmented.
Other young masters also spoke, praising her. All of them were looking at her adoringly.
"As expected, her reputation is well-suited, as one of the three heavenly beauties in the Tang state." Lin Lee muttered, nced at them, then looked at the pir on stage and Lin Yun.
Although she was a beauty, he didn''t care; he was more interested in martial arts than her right now.
The elder then released his aura, and a blue visibleyer appeared on his body, rippling like water.
The elder raised his hands, rotating acrobatically around on stage, and the blue aurayer slowly condensed above his body. Then he patted the pir. Instantly, the pir was covered with his blue heaven and earth aura.
Lin Lee speechlessly thought, ''Why so much extra movement? He should just pat the pir and transfer the heaven and earth aura inside.''
Looking around at the eximing children of the Lin family, who were looking at the elder in awe, he became a little suspicious. "It seems he did something amazing. Maybe my judgment is wrong," Lin Lee muttered, ncing at the elder thoughtfully.
Lin Yun then patted the pir, closed her eyes, and instantly, a rod-shaped spirit appeared. It waspletely white, filled with tiny holes in a straight line on its surface, exuding an ethereal aura.
"12th Grade Super Martial Spirit, Heavenly Jade Flute," the n owner Lin Zhang eximed, standing up excitedly and looking at the flute emitting white luster,pletely made from white jade.
Other n members around them became shocked, and elders also stood up from their seats in shock and excitement.
Lin Lee was surprised to look at the flute, then became thoughtful. ''A flute as a super martial spirit? It must be rted to a sound martial spirit. But ultimately, can sound shatter mountains? Or bring a tsunami? Maybe it can. If the frequency of sound is matched with the mountain''s frequency, then it can destroy the mountain, cause rain, bring a tsunami, etc., etc.''
Lin Lee thought to himself, but he didn''t know if those strong martial spirit continent experts knew his thoughts; they would be extremely shocked because sound martial spirit and top techniques are really rted to sound frequency matching with everything, but no one can match the frequency with everything except those divine experts. With a finger-flick sound, they can destroy a mountain.
"Next, Lin Han."
Lin Han appeared on the stage, and after a while, a ck shadow materialized behind him.
"7th Grade, Three-Eyed ck Tiger Martial Spirit," the n owner announced the spirit, nodding calmly. He is not that impressivepared to Lin Yun.
Lin Lee nced at Lin Han, a burly and muscr young man, the 2nd Young Master of the family, then looked at the unique three-eyed virtual ck tiger floating behind him, exuding a fierce aura.
"So, beast martial spirits are virtual, and they can be merged with their owner in order to exert their strength. Three-Eyed ck Tiger, 7th level, may be rted to the dark element or soul because of the third eye, but it''s not a pure element spirit. Because it is a beast, its potential is limited; that''s why it is rated 7th." Lin Lee assumed its usage and then nodded understandingly.
"Next, Lin Lee."
"It''s finally my turn," Lin Lee thought, suppressing his heartbeat, standing up calmly, then walking toward the stage.
Other n members and elders also became silent; their gazes fell on him. He is the second genius in the family, after Lin Yun.
Lin Lee appeared on the stage, looking at the dark pir exuding blue light.
"Touch the pir and follow the induction; bring out your martial spirit," the presiding elder exined.
Lin Lee nodded, touched the pir, and instantly felt something travel from the pir into his body.
He was instantly surprised because he felt two inductions, not one. "Twin spirit," his expression got solemn. He tried to pull one out and hide the other one, but the next second, his face changed because both uncontrobly appeared outside.
''It''s bad, Lin Lee said, opening his eyes annoyingly, feeling a little angry.
Next moment,
Looking at the surprise, doubt, puzzlement, gloating, yfulness, and disappointed expressions on everyone''s faces, Lin Lee became confused.
Then Lin Lee nced at the ck marble bead floating in his hand. He was surprised. ''A stone. I have awakened a marble-stone spirit that looks like a bead. Where is my second spirit? I am absolutely sure I sensed another spirit during awakening,'' he thought to himself, puzzled, then suppressed his doubt.
