“Click.” The door was pushed open.
Lin Xingyu walked back into the room, and a white-haired, red-faced old man in a black robe, about seventy years old, walked towards him.
“Young Master, dinner is ready. Tonight’s dinner is specially prepared. The master had someone buy the meat of a thousand-year-old Earth Dragon Spirit Beast, the Blazing Flame Dragon.”
“The medicinal bath is also ready. After dinner, go take the medicinal bath and rest early tonight. Tomorrow is your sixth birthday, and the master will take you to awaken your Spirit.”
The old man said in a deep voice while arranging the dishes.
“Okay, Chen Grandpa, everyone says Spirit awakening is related to one’s innate physique. I nurture my body with various methods every day. Do you think I can awaken a good Spirit?”
Lin Xingyu complained while eating.
“You definitely can,” the old man said in a deep voice.
“Your parents’ Spirits are Mystic Metal Armor and Blazing Fire, respectively.”
“Both are high-level Spirits, plus Young Master, your body is so good.”
“The Mystic Metal Armor and Blazing Fire are similar in quality and do not conflict with each other, meeting the requirements for twin spirits awakening; therefore, Young Master might even have twin spirits!”
twin spirits?
“That’s true, unless the Spirit mutates, otherwise, given my parents’ situation, twin spirits is indeed the best choice.”
Douluo Continent, Spirit reigns supreme.
People in this World all possess a special existence called Spirit. Spirits can be animals, plants, artifacts, or even some substances in the World.
Whatever a person’s Spirit is, they can gain a certain boost in that aspect.
More importantly, people hope for the emergence of spirit power. spirit power is a transcendent energy that can allow people to become Spirit Masters, gain powerful strength, and even achieve a longer life. spirit power is the foundation of all this.
Spirits have different grades, and in most cases, the quality of a Spirit determines whether a person possesses innate spirit power.
Spirits are passed down through bloodlines. Through tens of thousands of years of inheritance, the quality of Spirits on the Douluo Continent has greatly improved compared to tens of thousands of years ago, but Spirit Masters are still a minority. For commoners to awaken innate spirit power, their Spirit must mutate.
However, Spirit mutations are one in ten thousand, let alone beneficial mutations. Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, Spirits have mostly been passed down in the form of one family after another. Even in today’s Sun Moon Federation era, power is still firmly held in the hands of those large families and major forces.
But the overall situation is much better than ten thousand years ago; at least, there won't be situations where one cannot awaken a Spirit.
Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu’s heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, his birth in this life was good. If he had been born into a commoner family in this life and hadn’t awakened innate spirit power, even if he knew the plot and had the small cheat of martial arts, he wouldn’t know when he would rise!
Douluo Continent! This is a World where bloodline determines the future, a World where kings and nobles truly have their lineage!
He was grateful that his father in this life was still very good to him, providing him with various spiritual medicines to nurture his body.
In this life, when Lin Xingyu was three years old, his mother encountered an accident at sea while traveling to the Star Luo Continent, and she was never heard from again. When he was four, his father quickly started a new family.
Originally, Lin Cheng intended to take him in and raise him, but asking Lin Xingyu to call a stranger with no blood relation “mother” was too embarrassing. So, at Lin Xingyu’s strong insistence, he moved into this small villa. Lin Cheng felt that living separately was fine, but letting Lin Xingyu live alone at four years old, even if early maturity was common on the Douluo Continent, was a bit absurd.
So he had his Old Butler hire two maids to take care of Lin Xingyu, and Lin Cheng also frequently came back to visit.
The inheritance of Spirits brings the inheritance of power. Although the Lin family is a small family, it has been rooted in Donghai City for over a thousand years. The Old Butler is someone whose ancestors have worked for the Lin family for generations.
Lin Cheng was quite confident that the Old Butler could take good care of Lin Xingyu, which was also why Lin Cheng felt at ease with Lin Xingyu living alone.
On the Douluo Continent, while the inheritance of Spirit and spirit power cannot be definitively determined.
However, having a good body increases the probability of spirit power appearing and makes awakening easier. A good Spirit can still be confirmed.
Therefore, any family with a legacy will, before their children turn six, do their best to provide them with natural treasures that nurture the body, hoping to awaken a good Spirit.
“So fragrant!”
Lin Xingyu looked at the distinct layers of thousand-year Earth Dragon meat on the plate and exclaimed in admiration!
Holding the fork in his right hand to steady it, he used the knife in his left hand to cut the thousand-year Earth Dragon meat into small pieces and put them into his mouth to chew. Immediately, there was a rich juice that moisturized his mouth, along with a firm and elastic texture.
After a satisfying meal, he went to his room for a medicinal bath. An hour later.
Lin Xingyu looked at the handsome reflection in the mirror and nodded contentedly. He returned to his second-floor bedroom to cultivate.
Morning.
Donghai City, like a deeply sleeping giant beast, slowly woke up. Sunlight pierced through the thin clouds, scattering over the scattered buildings, outlining their contours more clearly. Ancient brick and tile houses and modern skyscrapers intertwined, telling the story of the city's blend of history and modernity.
Along both sides of the street, cherry blossoms were in bud, and occasionally a few, unable to bear the loneliness, had quietly bloomed, their pink petals gently swaying in the breeze.
Drip-drop ~ Dewdrops fell silently from green leaves, nourishing the earth, as if awakening something.
On the second floor, by the window of a bedroom, a boy leaned quietly against the window, silently admiring the scenery outside, as if something out there was slowly awakening.
The boy, like a porcelain doll, had long black hair draped over him, and he yawned lazily. A moment later, footsteps approached from outside the room.
“Knock, knock, Young Master, it’s time to get up. The master is already here!”
After speaking, the Old Butler gently walked in.
“Young Master, I’ll help you with your attire,” accompanied by this old yet steady and strong voice.
The Old Butler, with a slightly rosy complexion, held a complete set of white formal wear and dressed the boy neatly.
“Today is the day of your Spirit awakening. On the Douluo Continent, this is the most important day for a person, so you must be well prepared.”
“Okay, Chen Grandpa, let’s go.”
After hearing this, Lin Xingyu nodded slightly. His expression showed none of the usual excitement and naivety common in children, and he exuded a calmness beyond his age, which made people look at him with surprise.
In the living room, a middle-aged man stood there, exuding an aura of authority. He looked at Lin Xingyu with gentleness in his eyes.
“Xingyu, today Father will personally awaken your Spirit.”
“Come with me.”
Lin Xingyu listened, nodded gently, his expression devoid of the usual excitement and confusion of common children. He exuded a composure beyond his age, which made people look at him with surprise.
