Sovereign The
Chapter 02: The Seven Level Martial Spirit?

"Ten grade martial spirit, it turns out to be a tenth grade martial spirit!"

A tenth grade martial spirit was extremely unusual. Not just in Canglan County, but the entire kingdom.

Huang Ming looked at the Three-Eyed Black Tiger hovering behind his son. Both of his fists clenched tightly, barely able to contain the excitement he felt back then. Even so, his body trembled slightly.

Huang Qide's laughter continued to echo in the hall for quite some time. He did not expect an impromptu visit to the Martial Hall and gave him such an incredible surprise!

"Good good good!" Huang Qide repeated the word 'good' three times with a wide smile. Taking a deep breath, he calmed down as he tried to suppress the excitement in his heart.

His eyes were full of excitement as he stared lovingly at this grandson who had a tenth grade martial spirit. He believed that with the support and cultivation resources provided by the Huang Manor Clan, Huang Wei's achievements would definitely surpass him, allowing his grandson to reach the realm he had dreamed of all his life.

At this time, Huang Peng walked towards Huang Ming to congratulate: "Congratulations Brother."

Huang Ming looked at Huang Peng's sincere face, then he patted Huang Peng on the shoulder and said: "Thank you, Second Brother. Let's wait for a moment, Xiaolong has yet to awaken her martial spirit, there is a chance that she also has a grade ten martial spirit.” However, those who heard this understood that those were just words of consolation.After all, a tenth grade martial spirit was not a white cabbage.

In the large hall, the Huang Manor Clan Elder and a few servants were busy congratulating Huang Ming.

"Weier, come here." At this moment, Huang Qide, who was standing in the middle of the hall, laughed as he waved towards Huang Wei.

"Yes, Grandpa." Huang Wei replied. Before arriving at Huang Qide's side, he passed by in front of Huang Xiaolong, and his eyes inadvertently swept over Huang Xiaolong, bringing clear satisfaction and arrogance. This small exchange was not noticed by others, however it did not escape Huang Xiaolong's perception.

A tenth-grade martial spirit, Huang Xiaolong calmly looked at him.

Although Huang Wei was his cousin, the two of them were not close. Two years ago, Huang Wei and several other Elders children bullied his sister Huang Min and coincidentally, Huang Xiaolong happened on the scene. The consequences need no explanation. Huang Wei and some of the Elders children were severely beaten. From then on, Huang Wei held a grudge.

Huang Wei walked over and stood in front of his grandfather. Huang Qide's hands stretched out to rub Huang Wei's head, smiling and filled with love. Laughing, she turned to Huang Ming and said, "Huang Ming, you did a good job in giving birth to such an amazing grandson!"

On the other hand, Huang Ming felt a little embarrassed as he listened to his father's praise, "Dad, don't you think we should continue the resurrection ceremony first?"

Huang Qide nodded in agreement, this is not the right time to discuss the matter. Smiling kindly, he said: "Right, let's continue with the resurrection ceremony."

After Huang Wei, it was Huang Xiaolong's turn. When Huang Qide spoke, the elders, servants, and disciples could not help but turn to look at Huang Xiaolong. Huang Wei as one of Huang Qide's grandchildren had a tenth grade martial soul. What about Huang Xiaolong?

With the clan members gathered watching, Huang Xiaolong calmly stepped into the hexagon-patterned radiance.

Huang Peng and Su Yan could not help but hold hands nervously, even their heartbeats grew faster upon seeing their son step into the hexagonal rays.

Huang Xiaolong did not stay for long inside the light-filled area. Just like Huang Wei, a black light also appeared around Huang Xiaolong's body. Seeing this scene, the crowd stared blankly, and then a blue light suddenly appeared next to the black light. Two different lights lit up intermittently, giving an evil sensation.

Then, a black shadow and a blue shadow appeared behind Huang Xiaolong's head. Everyone saw a snake-like creature that had two heads - one black-headed, the other blue-headed.

The people around him exchanged looks.

The two-headed snake martial spirit ?!

In their knowledge of beast-type martial spirits, the two-headed snake was red or yellow, but this two-headed snake appeared in black and blue.

Huang Qide looked at the martial spirit behind Huang Xiaolong, his bewildered eyes colored with a hint of disappointment. In his opinion, this grandchild martial spirit was merely a variation of a two-headed snake martial spirit. Some disciples of the Huang Manor Clan also had variations of martial spirit types. Therefore, the appearance of martial variations was not a strange thing. Although the seventh grade two-headed snake was considered a high-level martial spirit, compared to the Three-Eyed Black Tiger Huang Wei, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Huang Peng and Su Yan saw a martial spirit hovering behind their son, Huang Peng's expression was no different from Huang Qide's. Although compared to the majority of clan people, a tier seven martial spirit talent was considered high, Huang Peng was still a little disappointed by the result. Which parent does not want the best for their child?

"Old Manor Master, what do you think?" Chief Steward Chen Ying could not help but refer to Huang Qide.

All the Elders and servants present in the temple hall nodded their heads, seemingly agreeing with the Old Landlord's decision.

A seventh grade martial spirit, a variation of a two-headed snake? Huang Xiaolong stepped out from the hexagonal patterned radiance, his face calm. Only he knew his martial spirit was not as simple as a variation of a two-headed snake.

Seeing that Huang Xiaolong's martial spirit was just a seventh grade variant two-headed snake, Huang Wei's mouth curled in a mocking grin, his eyes provoking as he pointed them at Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong naturally noticed Huang Wei's provoking eyes, but he did not mind in the slightest, as he was too lazy to play staring with a small child.

The son after Huang Xiaolong was Elder Zhou Guang's son, Zhou Xuedong. Zhou Xuedong was one of the children of the Huang Manor Clan that Huang Xiaolong had beaten up for oppressing Huang Min.

Very quickly, Zhou Xuedong's martial spirit was revealed to be a level six – Blood-Eyed Wolf martial spirit. One by one, over a dozen Huang Clan Manor children stepped into the rays and their martial spirit awakened. Most of them had fourth grade martial spirits, some five, and even some sixth grade martial spirits. There were a number of wasted martial spirits and low-level ones as well.

In this round of martial spirit awakening ceremony, even though Huang Xiaolong's martial spirit was second, there wasn't much of a difference. He and the other children of the Huang Manor Clan were just a side show, overshadowed by Huang Wei's tenth grade martial spirit.

After the awakening ceremony ended, Huang Qide smiled and said to Huang Ming, Huang Peng, and the other elders present: "I will personally advise Huang Wei's practice from now on."

Personal advice? Everyone is dumbfounded.

"Yes, Dad!" Huang Ming's face bloomed, instantly agreeing.

Looking at his own son, Huang Peng sighed regretfully in his heart after hearing his father's plan to supervise Huang Wei's cultivation personally.

After a while, the crowd dispersed and the Martial Hall closed.

Back at the Eastern Courtyard, Su Yan's heart was filled with dissatisfaction, "How could Father show such favoritism? He wanted to supervise Huang Wei's training personally. What about our Xiaolong? Is Xiaolong not his grandson?"

Huang Peng frowned and waved her hand, her voice heavy as she said: “Don't talk about this again. No one is allowed to bring up this matter in the future. Yet in his heart he also felt aggrieved, but with Huang Wei's tenth grade martial spirit, his father would definitely want to do so.

"Xiaolong, your talent is also good. Strive harder in your training, reaching the Eighth Order Warrior won't be difficult for you." Huang Peng turned towards Huang Xiaolong and tried to comfort him.

"I understand, Father." Huang Xiaolong opened his mouth wanting to tell Huang Peng and Su Yan that his martial spirit should not be seventh grade. In the end, he could only answer like that and say nothing more.

Before Huang Xiaolong left, Huang Peng gave him a cultivation technique to train in battle qi and explained the important points that Huang Xiaolong should focus on during the practice. Huang Xiaolong listened attentively and memorized it.

After leaving the main hall of the Eastern Courtyard, Huang Xiaolong returned to his own small courtyard and started practicing battle qi according to the cultivation technique his father had given him. He sat on the bed and began to absorb the world's spiritual energy according to the first order's instructions.

As Huang Xiaolong made use of his cultivation technique, his martial spirit emerged from his body; a two-headed snake variant materialized behind Huang Xiaolong. The so-called seventh grade two-headed snake suddenly spread its jaws wide and devoured the surrounding spiritual energy at a terrifying speed, drawing in the spiritual energy around Huang Xiaolong.

The spiritual energy eaten by the two-headed snake flowed into Huang Xiaolong's body, walking along the meridians and gradually turning into battle qi.

The night slowly approached. The moonlight shone from the small courtyard window.

A moment later, Huang Xiaolong opened his eyes. His face showed a very strange expression. Previously, he had followed the instructions of the cultivation technique his father had given him, the first layer of Xuan Qin cultivation technique, to condense his battle qi by running spiritual energy along the meridians. He managed to direct the flow of spiritual energy to one full turn without any hindrance or difficulty.

In these few hours, not only had he managed to convert spiritual energy into battle qi, he had also broken through to the First Order Warrior!

Huang Xiaolong's heart was filled with disbelief. If he remembered correctly, his father mentioned that his grandfather spent nearly six months before successfully breaking through the First Order Warrior!

His grandfather's martial spirit was one of the eight top grade martial spirits, the Six Winged Golden Ape!
