Xuan Li Country, Tian Lan City.
At the Li Family Residence, in the middle of the huge martial arts courtyard, the Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony was being held.A large number of elders and young disciples of the Li Family had gathered here to watch the Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony."At a time like this, young master Lin Mo is still practising boxing, he's really hardworking.""Yes, he's so talented, he completed the ninth body refining at the age of twelve, he's extremely skilled in basic martial arts, and he's still so diligent, it's really admirable."A group of Li Family disciples all looked reverently at the figure that was still practising boxing.The young man had red lips and white teeth, his appearance was handsome and he was a good-looking man.His name was Lin Mo.Considered a member of the Li Family of Tian Lan City, he was not a member of the Li Family's bloodline, but rather a descendant of the Li Family's benefactor.Lin Mo's father, Lin Xiaoran, had once recuperated in the Li Family in his early years and stepped forward when the Li Family was facing the danger of extinction.In the end, he repelled a strong enemy, but as a result, his old injuries recurred and he passed away.In order to repay the favour, the Li family raised young Lin Mo as if he were a young master."Knowing that young master Lin Mo is a role model, why don't you learn from him? You lazy bastards."It was at this time that the elder who presided over the Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony, opened his mouth and chided.After saying that, he turned to Lin Mo and said in a harmonious voice, "Young Master Lin Mo, it's your turn.""Oh, okay."Lin Mo wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and walked over quickly.The Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony was on top of the black altar in one corner of the Martial Arts Academy.Lin Mo walked over with faith, and as he walked past a purple-clothed young man, he heard this purple-clothed young man humming, "Lin Mo, you've always been favoured by the family, so don't disappoint with your awakened Martial Spirit."The teenager was named Li Shao Yu, and was also a highly talented person in the Li family, but Lin Mo's genius aura was too dazzling.It made it so that he could only become a companion, and even the woman he liked was devoted to him.All of this made him extremely angry, and he had vowed to surpass Lin Mo in this life and reclaim everything that belonged to him.Lin Mo, who was dressed in black, had a flat face and didn't say anything more, the other party's hatred towards him had always been clear to him.However, the truth was that Lin Mo had never done anything to him.Lin Mo quickly leapt onto that black altar, and then placed his hands against the large Martial Spirit Stone Tablet in the centre of the altar.At this moment, the entire martial arts academy fell silent, so everyone's eyes couldn't help but stare at Lin Mo.Their eyes were filled with anticipation, looking forward to what grade of martial spirit this first genius would awaken."I have a strong self-consciousness that the Martial Spirit awakened by Prince Lin Mo will definitely be famous in Tian Lan City.""Not bad, he became a Nine Heavy Refined Body at the age of twelve, and he's Senior Lin's son, his Martial Spirit rank must be very high.""It seems that a super genius will appear in our Li Family, it's exciting to think about it."The crowd of Li Family disciples, one after another, discussed, but that gaze never left that figure on the altar.However ......After a long time, that martial spirit stone tablet is not a little reaction ......After a full five minutes, there was still no movement there."This ...... Martial Spirit Stone Tablet, how come there isn't a bit of movement?"That presiding elder was also stunned, so he carefully checked everything at the altar and made sure that there was nothing wrong.Only then did he indifferently say, "Lin Mo, you don't have a Martial Spirit."This judgement immediately caused the bottom to explode.Everyone knew what this meant, a Martial Spirit was the most basic thing a person needed to become a martial artist.Without a Martial Spirit, one could not communicate with the Yuan Power of Heaven and Earth for cultivation.It could be said that ninety-nine per cent of the people on the Battle Spirit Continent could awaken a Martial Spirit, it was just a matter of different levels.But now, Lin Mo had become that one percent portion of the population."It shouldn't be, I can clearly feel the fluctuation of the Martial Spirit in my body, why haven't I awakened?"Looking at the unresponsive Martial Spirit stone tablet, Lin Mo was also very puzzled."No Martial Spirit? Then isn't it that you can't even become a martial artist?""Grass, what first genius, this Nima is simply a waste.""What a waste of old man's expression, what the hell.""......"The crowd murmured, and for a while, everyone's eyes changed as they looked at Lin Mo.Where was the shadow of previous reverence in their eyes? All of them were replaced by disappointment, disdain, and even contempt."Lin Mo, go down, there's nothing more for you here."That elder who was presiding over the Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony suddenly said coldly.Lin Mo clenched his hands together and smiled mockingly, "Heh, are they all that snobby?"In the past, which one of these people didn't hold him in high esteem, and if they had any martial arts questions, they would all come running over to ask him.Now, without awakening their Martial Spirit, these people had completely changed their faces."Next, Li Shaoyu."The presiding elder, glancing at Lin Mo, said with a face full of contempt.When Li Shaoyu heard this, he held his head high and walked towards the altar in large strides.After crossing paths with Lin Mo, he smiled proudly and said, "Lin Mo, I swore that I would surpass you in this life, but who knew that you are simply a waste."Li Shao Yu's heart was incomparably happy, Lin Mo didn't even have a Martial Spirit, and could only stay at the peak of the 9th level of Body Refinement for the rest of his life.This kind of person, he wouldn't even want to give him a follower to walk the dog.Lin Mo had a sullen face and didn't pay any attention to him."By the way, if you're just a piece of trash, the family won't insist on the matter of the City Lord proposing marriage to your Auntie Nuo, right?"Li Shao Yu held a cold smile and whispered.Hearing this, Lin Mo's figure could not help but tremble.The Auntie Nuo in Li Shao Yu's mouth was named Li Nuo, a woman from the Li Family's side line.However, she was Lin Mo's adoptive mother, and after Lin Xiaoran passed away, she was the one who single-handedly raised Lin Mo.For so many years, she had been taking care of Lin Mo as if he was her own son.Because Li Nuo was a special kind of Xuan Cold Physique, his cultivation speed was very slow, while the son of the Tian Lan City Lord was a Xuan Yang Physique.It was rumoured that if the two mated, it would boost their cultivation, so in recent years the City Lord's residence had been proposing marriage to the Li family, but because of Lin Mo's objections, the Li family had never agreed.Now that Lin Mo hadn't been able to awaken his Martial Spirit, he wouldn't be of much value to the Li Family.Then Li Nuo, as a collateral woman, would definitely be forced to marry the city lord's son in exchange for greater benefits.Looking at this flustered expression on Lin Mo's face, Li Shao Yu immediately laughed out loud and said, "Auntie Nuo is your adoptive mother, and according to the generation, you'll be the City Lord's grandson now, and that's also a very honourable thing."After saying that, he walked up to the altar with great strides, preparing to awaken his Martial Spirit.Lin Mo clenched his fists tightly, his gaze flashed with a touch of determination, "I won't let Auntie Nuo marry into the City Lord's mansion."Other people only knew that the mating of the Xuan Cold Body and the Xuan Yang Body would promote the enhancement of martial cultivation.However, very few people knew that after the two body types mated, the party with a weak cultivation would be gradually eroded by the stronger party and then die of rapid aging.This, however, Lin Mo knew."Wow, Brother Shaoyu, unexpectedly awakened a sixth grade human ranked Martial Spirit ah.""Haha, it's still our Li Family's genius that's powerful, as for Lin Mo, he's simply rubbish.""That's right, Brother Shaoyu is our Li Family's true first genius."The ranks of Martial Spirits were: human rank, earth rank, heaven rank, holy rank, and supreme rank.For each rank, it was further divided into one to nine grades.The higher level of Martial Spirit one possessed, the faster their cultivation speed would be.Li Shaoyu's awakened Martial Spirit, although it was only the sixth grade of the Human Rank, but in a small place like Tian Lan City.It was already considered a top-notch existence.Listening to the flattering voices, Lin Mo gritted his teeth and turned around to leave the martial arts performance compound.
