Lin Feng had a long dream. In the dream, his soul wandered outside his body, drifting in the darkness. No matter how he drifted, his soul could not escape the endless darkness.
It was a world of darkness, devoid of any vitality.
Lin Feng didn't know how long his soul had been wandering. Suddenly, a faint light appeared before him. The only light in the darkness was colorful, swirling upwards, dazzling and magnificent.
"How fantastical."
Lin Feng approached the light, which grew brighter. He discovered that the swirling light extended far beyond reach. Above the dazzling light, there seemed to be a brilliant celestial book floating quietly, exuding an ancient aura, as if it had existed there since ancient times.
As Lin Feng gazed at the brilliant celestial book in the sky, dazzling light burst forth again. The book slowly opened, and endless characters rushed towards Lin Feng!
"Boom!"
His mind exploded. Lin Feng sat up from the ground, the light rain still falling gently. The sky and earth were dim, far from the dazzling light and the brilliant celestial book.
"Hu, hu..." Lin Feng breathed heavily, his body still trembling slightly. Fortunately, he was still alive.
Under the tearing pain just now, Lin Feng almost thought he was going to die. That was not a pain that any ordinary person could endure.
"Do others also have to endure such pain when their martial souls awaken?" Lin Feng's deep pupils stared at the dark night, showing a hint of doubt. Although he didn't think his talent was particularly strong, he had a certain confidence in his willpower. If others could endure the pain of their martial soul's awakening, he must be able to as well.
However, when his martial soul awakened, endless pain struck him three times in a row, each time more intense than the last. By the final time, it was as if it wanted to kill him. That kind of pain could not be endured by willpower alone. His willpower was strong enough, so he did not collapse immediately, but his seven apertures bled.
Perhaps everyone's martial soul is different when it awakens. I wonder if my martial soul has passed this test.
Lin Feng thought to himself. With a movement of his mind, his martial soul was released, and in the next moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he were in darkness, surrounded by everything changing. The darkness, an endless and boundless darkness, he was no longer in the night, but in a dark world.
His senses seemed sharper, even the slightest movement within a few miles could not escape his notice. His mind became incredibly clear, constantly working, much more agile than usual, as if he could see through everything in an instant.
What was even more terrifying were Lin Feng's eyes, the eyes that he could not see himself. The dark pupils, devoid of human emotion, were incredibly calm and indifferent.
"Darkness... Martial Soul."
Lin Feng found that his mind was clearer than ever before. Even he could feel the terror of this Martial Soul.
Moreover, it seemed that there was more...
With another thought, a vast and immense black shadow hovered behind Lin Feng. At the top of this dark shadow, a brilliant book floated quietly. This brilliant book opened a page, as if it had always been like this.
"Is this a kind of Martial Soul?" Lin Feng's gaze was dull. When a martial artist released their Martial Soul behind them, they could clearly feel everything about their Martial Soul. The scene now presented was like a dream, an endless dark world, with a flickering light, a suspended celestial book, floating quietly!
In Lin Feng's memory, there had never been a Martial Soul that could be released twice. It seemed that this Martial Soul already had a double nature. The first nature, without a dark shadow, turned the surrounding world into darkness. The second nature, the appearance of the celestial book Martial Soul, Lin Feng thought that his Martial Soul's awakening had failed, but now it seemed that he had not failed, but instead, it was unexpectedly good.
"Celestial book... Book Martial Soul..." Lin Feng didn't know what to call his Martial Soul at this moment.
In the Nine Heavens Continent, there were countless martial artists, and there were too many types of Martial Souls. Moreover, the awakening of the Martial Soul at birth belonged to the transformation of the Martial Soul. No one could say that they knew all the Martial Souls, only that there were many common Martial Souls and exotic Martial Souls.
The Book Martial Soul was a peculiar exotic Martial Soul. This kind of Martial Soul was not an attacking Martial Soul, nor could it defend or assist in combat. However, the owners of these Book Martial Souls might record some extraordinary things on their Martial Soul books. These recorded things could change the fate of a martial artist.
"Amaterasu." Lin Feng murmured, and suddenly, a dazzling silvery-white light appeared in his dark, icy eyes, shining like the sun, dazzling and dazzling.
This brilliant light only lasted for a moment, but Lin Feng was lost in thought. Amaterasu was the divine ability bestowed upon him by the Book Martial Soul when it opened its first page, allowing him to see through everything.
"From now on, I will call you the Amaterasu Martial Soul." Lin Feng murmured. The shadow of his Martial Soul dissipated, and his eyes gradually returned to normal, no longer cold and indifferent. His eyes were still clean, but behind that cleanliness, there was a hint of depth.
With his palm open, the white qi pulsed unpredictably. The qi of heaven and earth could now be freely transformed into qi. Lin Feng had stepped into the Spirit Martial Realm.
After experiencing the awakening of the dark Martial Soul, giving birth to the Amaterasu Martial Soul that could be released twice, and reaching the Spirit Martial Realm in strength, although the other little snake Martial Soul did not awaken, Lin Feng was already quite satisfied.
His Amaterasu Martial Soul should only need to unlock the first level to give him a stronger combat power, while the second level of the Book Martial Soul might be a kind of assistance, allowing him to gain magical abilities that did not need to be released normally.
"A practitioner at the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm, from now on, is invincible." Lin Feng smiled confidently. He could feel how terrifying the transforming dark Martial Soul was. Just the first level of Amaterasu was equivalent to the evolution of the dark Martial Soul. Now, when he met Lin Qian again, Lin Feng was absolutely confident that he could defeat her, even though Lin Qian was the proud daughter of heaven, possessing the Martial Soul of Ice and Fire.
The rain was still falling gently, and a faint light was already visible in the dark sky, indicating the approaching dawn.
Lin Feng stood up, looking at his soaked body. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that sitting down would mean a whole night had passed. It was really embarrassing.
Looking in the direction of the distance, a trace of indifference flashed in Lin Feng's clear eyes. Last night, the City Lord's Mansion dispatched so many eighth and ninth-level Spirit Martial Realm martial artists to assassinate him. If his strength had been slightly weaker, he would have been doomed.
"City Lord's Mansion, Nalan Feng, you will regret your actions sooner or later."
Lin Feng lifted his foot and walked towards the distance.
