Chapter 71 Another Dual Martial Spirit?!
On the way to the martial spirit hall, Long Tian and Li Yue'er talked many things. Long Tian could observe a significant change in Li Yue'er's demeanor.
He couldn't help but recollect the image of Li Yue'er as the stern head of the student council who used to scold him for breaking school rules. It was this very reason that had sparked his initial desire for her, leading to the fateful act of kidnapping.
Yet now, by his side, she appeared to be a well-behaved and no longer rebellious girl.
His intention to help Li Yue'er wasn't just about transforming her family but also gaining her assistance. In the original plot, Li Yue'er was so powerful that she could create a large area filled with otherworldly Reiki, allowing people within it to cultivate. Even Qin Chen managed to build a sect with her help, and their story ended with their marriage.
He wanted Li Yue'er to oppose Qin Chen, despite the agreement they made with him a few days ago.
*************
After more than an hour, Long Tian and Li Yue'er arrived at the Tianzhou branch of the Martial Spirit Hall.
From a distance, the place appeared vast and magnificent, a favorite location for cultivators to trade their captured treasure and soul beast.
In this world, there were creatures known as soul beasts, categorized into five levels, each represented by a star. One-star soul beasts had one star on their foreheads, and the same went for two-star and so on.
In the original plot, there were actually seven stars, but for now, it hadn't been exposed, and the most potent known ones were five-star soul beasts.
Long Tian and Li Yue'er stepped out of the car and made their way inside.
Once inside, the place felt even more spacious. There were numerous facilities here, such as hospitals, strength tests, soul power assessments, and more.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in formal attire walked towards them, "May I assist you?" he asked politely.
Long Tian simply took out a black card and showed it to the man, "I want the best service. We're here for martial spirit awakening," he stated.
The middle-aged man was taken aback when he saw the black card. It was an exclusive card owned only by individuals with high status, typically allies of the Martial Spirit Hall.
His expression turned more respectful and polite, "Then, may I be your guide, mister?" he asked.
"Long Tian, and this is my friend, Li Yue'er," Long Tian replied.
"Great, in that case, please follow me to the martial spirit awakening chamber," the man said.
Long Tian nodded, and they both followed the man to a certain location.
As they walked, Long Tian noticed many places for trading soul beasts, and most of the people here were cultivators.
After a while, they arrived at the martial spirit awakening chamber on the second floor.
This place looked much more luxurious than the first floor.
However, there were already seven people waiting to awaken their martial spirits. They seemed to be from wealthy backgrounds, judging by their luxurious attire.
The room appeared soundproof because its outer part was covered in glass, allowing people outside to watch the proceedings.
"Young Master Long and Miss Li, can you wait here? I need to speak with the instructor to prioritize your turn," the man said.
"No problem," Long Tian nodded.
The man nodded back and then walked into the room, conversing with the instructor.
In the meantime, Long Tian noticed a worried expression on Li Yue'er's face.
"Do you feel confident about awakening a martial spirit?" he asked.
"I'm not sure. I've never cultivated before. Could that affect the martial spirit I'm going to awaken?" Li Yue'er inquired, her tone filled with concern.
"Nope. It's all about luck," Long Tian replied.
"Well, I hope I get a strong martial spirit," Li Yue'er said.
After a few conversations, the middle-aged man returned, "Young Master Long, it's your turn. I've talked to the instructor," he said.
Long Tian nodded, his gaze focused on Li Yue'er, "Good luck," he said.
"Okay!" Li Yue'er nodded, her expression determined.
With that, she entered the room. The seven people waiting seemed displeased as she cut in line, but they couldn't protest since the guard allowed it.
The sign clearly indicated her high status.
Long Tian watched Li Yue'er from outside, knowing well the martial spirit she would awaken, and it was quite potent, although not S-Class.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Li Yue'er touched the large stone in front of her and closed her eyes.
Within herself, she saw a giant tree surrounded by nine planets, each emitting different colors.
Those nine planets seemed to bestow their light and energy upon the massive tree.
A few seconds later, the image of the giant tree and the nine planets vanished, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
A powerful aura enveloped the entire area, and a colossal tree manifested behind her.
The spectators outside the room were astonished and mesmerized by the sight. The tree was enormous, almost reaching the room's ceiling.
Long Tian remained composed; he had known this all along.
Shortly after, text projected onto the inscription: [A-Class: World Tree]
Everyone was even more amazed by the text. An A-Class martial spirit – the woman was undeniably fortunate.
Long Tian smiled; with the World Tree martial spirit, Li Yue'er could more easily master the special physique of nine realms.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Li Yue'er also saw the A-Class text but couldn't express her joy because she suddenly felt something within her and chose to close her eyes again.
Within herself, instead of the scene of the giant tree and nine planets, she saw a dark world with ground soaked in blood.
Thousands of broken weapons, swords, spears, halberds, and shields were scattered on the ground.
Closer still, thousands of corpses lay strewn about, and a figure of a woman with ancient cultivator attire stood atop the corpses, wielding a dark-shrouded sword, grinning widely as if boundless satisfaction overcame her after killing thousands of people.
The next moment, Li Yue'er abruptly opened her eyes, and her pupils turned red with dark aura.
The room was now filled with a sinister, oppressive energy, even the instructor sensed it.
In the next moment, the black-clad woman with a sword materialized behind Li Yue'er.
Everyone was stunned by this sight, including Long Tian. This... a dual martial spirit!
Shortly after, text projected onto the inscription again: [Unknown martial spirit]
Everyone was even more astonished. A martial spirit not even recognized by the inscription. It meant a new type of martial spirit!
The seven people waiting in line were increasingly impressed.
"Sheesh, a dual martial spirit... she's clearly incredibly talented."
"But what's with that dark aura? I'm getting chills just looking at it from the outside."
"Hehe, she's stunning and has a dual martial spirit, a perfect girl for me."
They expressed their admiration for Li Yue'er. Long Tian, on the other hand, was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
This shouldn't have happened. Li Yue'er was not supposed to have a dual martial spirit. In the original plot, her martial spirit was just the World Tree.
"Could it be that my transmigration into this world has altered the plot?" He murmured under his breath, his tone serious.
He had never seen a martial spirit like this, a dark-shrouded woman with a sword...
But at that moment, the martial spirit disappeared, and Li Yue'er fell unconscious to the ground.
Long Tian rushed towards the room, but the door was tightly shut.
His fist clenched, and with all his strength, he struck the door.
Bang!
His punch shattered the door into pieces, and he hurriedly made his way to Li Yue'er.
Checking her heartbeat, she was still alive. However, she appeared to be in a deep slumber, much like when the side effects of her special physique appeared.
At this moment, the middle-aged man approached, asking, "Young Master Long, is she alright?"
"Take me to the best doctor here," Long Tian said with utmost seriousness.
"Follow me," the middle-aged man nodded, swiftly leading Long Tian to a certain place.
***********
After running for a while, they arrived in a white room. Long Tian laid Li Yue'er on the bed, and shortly after, a doctor, a woman in her thirties, approached.
"What happened?" she immediately inquired.
"She passed out right after awakening her martial spirit," Long Tian replied.
"Alright, let me take a look," the doctor said, beginning to examine Li Yue'er's condition.
She used various instruments to check, but found nothing unusual.
"This is strange; she seems to be asleep, and there are no serious symptoms. Perhaps this is just a side effect following her martial spirit awakening. She should wake up in a few hours," the doctor said.
"Thank you, doctor," Long Tian said.
"You're welcome. If she wakes up, come back, and I'll check on her," the doctor said with a smile.
"Alright," Long Tian nodded.
With that, he carried Li Yue'er and headed to his car. Starting the vehicle, he drove back to his villa in Tianzhou.
