After isolating himself from the Spiritual Sense, Ye Feng let go of Ghastly Shadow and placed him beside himself.
Otherwise, if he were to awaken a Martial Spirit, he would have to think twice before doing anything. Then, the effects of his awakening would be greatly reduced.
"... "It can't be, this monster formed from spirit energy can't even speak." Uncle Qin's heart trembled. Even though he was old and had seen a lot, he had never seen something so strange.
"Ye-dage, what's going on …" Dong TianRui was obviously extremely confused as well.
Spiritshadow turned towards Leaves' direction, seemingly hesitant.
Ye Feng smiled, "Don't worry, just speak. Since this s.p.a.ce has been isolated, only the few of us know about you. Whatever you want to say, as long as you don't break the rules, then this next day or next day … …"
He paused for a moment, a glint flashed across his eyes. "As you wish."
Upon hearing the words "do as you please", Spiritshadow was stunned for a moment before letting out a loud laugh.
"Haha, good, straightforward."
All this while, other than Ye Feng, who would occasionally interact with it, it had never talked much with anyone else. Now, with Ye Feng's permission, it naturally felt extremely happy.
After that, it flew into the air as if it had entered a world devoid of people, and started to absorb the Martial Spirit's power wantonly, like a fish in water.
"Oh G.o.d, it really knows how to talk."
Everyone was sitting in their own seats, looking up at the ghost shadows flying around in the sky. They all sucked in a breath of cold air. They didn't even care about absorbing their own Martial Spirit.
It was an amateur when it came to absorbing spiritual qi, but this Ghastly Shadow specialized in absorbing spiritual qi and essence. In comparison, their rate of absorption was as different as heaven and earth. Even if they were five times slower, it wouldn't be excessive.
Daoist Master Liu, who had been hiding under the roof and using his Qi Concealment Spell to hide, could no longer hold himself back.
He revealed himself and jumped up onto the rooftop. He looked at Ye Feng with a dark expression, "Ye Feng, who allowed you to release such a weird thing? You are trying to break the balance by doing this."
Everyone was shocked when they saw Spiritual Master Liu appear. Even Ye Feng revealed a slightly surprised expression.
But soon, he let out a faint smile and recovered his composure.
"Breaking the balance, Daoist Master Liu, then let me ask you a question. Since I didn't break the rules, why can't I monopolize the Martial Spirit Qi here? Moreover, Ghost Shadow is not some monster."
"Alright, alright, alright... "You sure are stubborn. Then tell me, what exactly is this monster made of spirit energy?" Sage Liu coldly harrumphed.
"This is … my martial spirit."
When these words came out, not to mention Spiritual Master Liu, even Master Yang was startled.
His brows creased. "Ye Feng, are you joking? Are you saying you want to come here and awaken your martial soul when you already have one?"
"That's right," Leaves' reply was simple and concise.
"You …"
If one were to observe carefully, one would be able to discern whether Ye Feng was speaking the truth or not.
Therefore, Ye Feng did not lie to him and directly told him the truth.
"Nonsense, this is simply nonsense. Do you believe that I will directly disqualify you?"
Master Yang's face darkened, "Sage Liu, listen carefully. After this, you will ask Sage Zhao how he chose this time in the Martial Spirit Awakening Storm. He is someone who has already reached the Martial Disciple realm and awakened his Martial Spirit.
Ye Feng quickly followed, "No, Master Yang, Zi Feng just broke through to Martial Disciple the day before he came to the Grand Mysterious Sky Platform."
Anger surfaced on Master Yang's face, "Ridiculous, I just broke through to Martial Disciple. Without any external a.s.sistance, I immediately awakened my Martial Spirit. Ye Feng, are you kidding me?"
"This is true, I can testify for Brother Zifeng." Ye Xueyi lightly pursed her red lips and said.
Master Yang chuckled, "Call him Brother Zi Feng. Come to think of it, you are his relative, what's the use of your testimony."
"I can also testify." Liu Bingqian raised her hand and looked at Master Yang seriously.
Master Yang was still smiling, "I'm afraid the two of you have a deep friends.h.i.+p with each other. Even if you testify, you won't be able to do it. Unless you have the ability to, let Elder Zhao's disciple testify for you..."
At the same time as he said that, a stern expression flashed between his brows as he glared at the two people from Starlight Academy.
"Regarding this, Master Yang, I am also not willing to lie. What Ye Feng said is true, and it is because he broke through to Martial Disciple realm in the first four days and won the bet from Master. That is why he came to partic.i.p.ate in the Martial Spirit Awakening Storm the next day."
Seeing that her senior brother had already said this, Qing Xuan could only nod and sigh. "Senior brother is right. I can also testify."
"You all … "This..."
Dong TianRui muttered on the side: "I've also heard about this. When Brother Ye became a Martial Disciple the day before yesterday, there was quite a commotion."
Master Yang was startled. Logically speaking, when the Martial Spirit awakened, it was to compete for resources with others. Even friends wouldn't be willing to go against each other. However, these people still helped Ye Feng.
Could it be that this was an irrefutable fact?
After Ye Feng broke through to Martial Disciple, he had awakened his Martial Spirit.
Master Yang frowned deeply. He turned around and looked at Master Liu.
"Daoist Master Liu, tell me honestly. Whether this is true or false, if there is even the slightest bit of deception, you should know the consequences."
"This …" Honestly speaking, Daoist Master Liu wanted to take this opportunity to make things difficult for Ye Feng. However, the matter of Ye Feng breaking through to the Martial Disciple Stage had caused a huge commotion. Many people in the Heavenly Dao City knew about it.
As such, rather than telling a lie that could be easily worn out, he might as well just tell her the truth.
"Reporting to Senior... "I have indeed heard of Ye Feng's recent breakthrough."
Master Yang was completely stunned. He forcefully held his forehead and shook his head. He was unable to stand steadily.
Even Spiritual Master Liu had said such a thing. It seemed like this matter could not be faked.
"Master, Zi Feng is not messing around. He sincerely wants to join the Martial Spirit awakening storm …"
He paused for a moment as a glint flashed across his eyes, "My goal is to fully awaken it."
Ye Feng's words were sonorous and forceful, like a giant boulder smas.h.i.+ng into Master Yang's heart.
Completely awakening, what kind of concept was this? Even Master Yang couldn't help but be curious.
Although he was shocked, it was just as Ye Feng had said. He did not violate any rules.
"Alright, since so many people have testified to you, let me turn a blind eye to this matter. I shall leave it to you."
Halfway through his words, Master Yang suddenly realized, "Wait, Ye Feng, did you think that I would disqualify you, which is why I isolated you from the detection of the Spiritual Sense?"
"About this..." Ye ZIchen smiled, but didn't explain anything.
For some things, there was a difference in the number of onlookers. For more people, it would become official business, and for less people, it would become private business. The final result would often have subtle differences due to the face of the decision maker.
"Alright, Spiritshadow, have you heard what Master said? I've already let you go."
Master Yang blurted out in annoyance, "Ye Feng, I didn't say that I would let him go."
If he talked too much with Ye Feng, he would get angry easily.
How could Gui Ying care about this? He laughed heartily and soared into the sky, his body constantly changing.
While Ye Feng was holding the conversation, it was still busy absorbing the overflowing Martial Spirit Qi on the rooftop. Unknowingly, it had grown quite a bit, reaching the height of two people. Just looking at it made people's hearts tremble.
"Alright, let's not waste time."
The rest of the group also stopped thinking and started to sit still to absorb the Martial Spirit between heaven and earth to awaken their Martial Spirits.
Although, with the existence of Ghastly Shadow, a lot of Martial Spirit Qi would be absorbed by Ghastly Shadow, and the total amount would be reduced.
However, there were only seven people who had managed to step onto the Supreme Mystery Heaven Altar, the lowest number in all of history. Furthermore, after purifying the Dark Thunder, they were able to break through their limits.
Therefore, the possibility of them awakening a high quality martial soul still existed. In fact, it might even be slightly higher than that of their senior brothers and sisters.
"Bing Qian, Xue Yi, calm down as well. After absorbing the purifying energy of the Dark Lightning, prepare to awaken your Martial Spirits." Ye Feng did not forget to remind them.
"Okay," the two women answered at the same time with solemn expressions.
After the seven of them separated, they sat cross-legged on the ground with the Grand Master in the middle. As for the Spiritual Qi monster, it was as tall as two people.
No doubt it was a sleepless night.
Everyone kept absorbing the Martial Spirit Qi for the whole night and didn't close their eyes. They tried their best to absorb the Martial Spirit resources in the s.p.a.ces.
Wisps of thick Qi spread out from everyone's bodies like white fog.
The strange power would occasionally burst out into a glimmer of light and flicker around everyone's body. The vast expanse of starlight would converge and s.h.i.+ne brightly …
On the morning of the second day, everyone was tired from the night. Their minds were in a state of haziness.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Master, Master, save me! I … "My whole body is burning. I can't take it anymore."
Hearing what was said, Master Yang suddenly opened his eyes. A glint flashed across his eyes, and he then exchanged a look with the person beside him, Daoist Master Liu.
"It seems that the first person to awaken his Martial Spirit will appear soon."
