CHAPTER 1
It was bustling in noise as a small town in far south of the Star Continent called Dark Star Town was holding their annual martial soul awakening ceremony. This martial soul awakening ceremony can decide the future lives of many citizens in the whole Star Plane. Kids who can awaken martial souls can be either walk through being a cultivator, a soul artists, or live a simple normal life as their martial soul is not suitable for cultivation.
The whole Star Plane was divided into 3 Continents, the Sun Continent - the biggest continent, the Moon Continent which is a medium sized continent, and the smallest Star Continent. They also consist of different cities and towns.
The awakening ceremony happens at the Martial Soul Hall branch of each towns, no matter how far or barren the place is. Kids who are 6 years old are the only ones who can join this awakening ceremony, no second chances if missed, no retakes if failed.
Inside the martial soul hall, kids are very excited to awaken their martial souls. No matter what, even if it is a martial soul that is not suitable for cultivation, the physique will still be change. They will be stronger than a normal person but weaker to those who can cultivate.
However, outside the hall are the parents of the kids, many parents are excited to warmly welcome their kids but one parent looks very anxious.
"I hope he does not awaken a similar martial soul to her mother or much better he cannot awaken a martial soul and completely live a normal life." Murmured by a father.
Inside the martial soul hall
There is a big platform in the middle where kids can awaken their martial soul. This platform was filled with soul power, so the moment a 6 year old kid step in here. Soul power will inject inside him or her and it will trigger the martial soul to break out and awaken.
Before the awakening ceremony starts, the facilitator of the awakening ceremony demonstrates first his martial soul. He opened a beast type martial soul, one of the types of martial soul.
"Good day kids, I am Chu San Tong, but you can call me Brother Tong. My martial soul is called, Blazing Hawk, a bird beast and a fire element. I am a Soul Master of Level 43. I will discuss some important details after this ceremony finishes." San Tong said. The he called the kids one by one.
"Hey! I cannot wait to awaken my martial soul! What about you?" An enthusiastic kid asked to a kid next to him.
"Can you keep quite? Of course I am excited too!" Quietly respond by the other kid. The two kids are childhood friends since they are neighbors. The kid who asked is Li Bing Chuan while the kid who responded was Tian Xie.
After a while, many kids go through the platform and undergo to their martial soul awakening. However, among the 35 kids who came first, 28 did not have a martial soul and 7 have awaken but they are not suitable for cultivation.
"It seems like, talents are really hard to find in many barren lands." Sighed by San Tong. "Next Li Bing Chuan!" He said and Li BIng Chuan excitedly enters the awakening platform.
"Just relax your body and feel the soul power coming in to you." San Tong advice him on what to do. There are only 2 kids who did not undergo to the ceremony, being Bing Chuan the one and Xie the other.
Moments later, Bing Chuan glowed and that is a sign that he has awaken martial soul, bu San Tong was not expecting anymore as many kids who awaken a martial soul are unable to cultivate.
Seconds later, Bing Chuan was shouting excitedly.
"Brother Tong!, Brother Tong! I also have bird martial soul! Can I cultivate it?" Shouted by Bing Chuan. This makes San Tong stunned, He was ready to report that all kids in the Dark Star town, same as report in the past few years that there are no talents but he unexpectedly gain something.
Then he come near Bing Chuan to check the bird martial soul he was talking about, so as Xie to congratulate his friend.
"Congratulations Bing Chuan!" Xie said and both of them are jumping in joy. Then San Tong came near them.
"Very Good! Very Good! I thought I will come back to the City Branch with no one but unexpectedly have something. What's more is that a rare bird type martial soul." San Tong said in delight.
"What do you mean Brother Tong?" Bing Chuan asked.
"Your martial soul is called Ice & Fire Hawk, a rare dual elemental beast martial soul. What's more is that, it can be also a tool soul. It is said that, the Ice and Fire Hawks has a trace of small amount of Phoenix line as their ancestry accidentally ate a blood Ice Phoenix. You will know other details once you started to go to an Academy." He replied. "Now let us proceed to the last one." He added, then Xie also came forth to the platform.
Same with Bing Chuan, Xie also glowed. San Tong was hoping for another talent but he was already satisfied with Bing Chuan. However, he was stunned when he felt that his mind was being attacked.
He remembered, when he was still studying on how to be an awakening ceremony facilitator, some kinds of martial soul are giving different kinds of feeling. A few years ago, he remembered a colleague that when a spiritual type of martial soul was awakening, he felt that his mind was being attacked.
Once again, he was unexpectedly happy although he was in slight pain. He was not expecting to have two rare talents. One with a dual type martial soul and a rare spirit type martial sou.
San Tong came near Xie to check his martial soul. Then he saw Xie's eyes are glowing, this shocks him even more. Among spirit type martial souls, the eyes are the strongest and there are very few of them.
