Chapter 1 The boy in the orphanage, he is the main character!
Every day is a day of calm or grandeur for people.
And today, for all the ten-year-old children in the orphanage of Zutan, it is a magnificent day,
Today is the day of the awakening of the martial spirit.
What is a martial spirit, the mothers of the orphanage did not explain to the children clearly, but just said in general terms "It is a gift from heaven and earth", and it was over, how did the martial soul come about? Why do people have martial spirits? This kind of question mothers or everyone doesn't care at all, what people care about is the power of martial souls to move mountains and reclaim the sea, as well as the rights and money obtained by relying on strength.
Speaking of which, even the most ignorant children in the orphanage can understand the importance of martial spirits, so to speak, awakening a good martial spirit, a lowly slave may turn over and become a master.
The power of the martial soul can be seen
Because of the strength of the martial soul, everyone, all the forces will not let go of any powerful seedling, so even the unadopted children in the orphanage will be unified by the big families of Zutan City at the age of ten, and the price is that all the children who awaken the martial soul will be selected by those big families like commodities.
Today is this year's Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony.
In the world where martial arts are respected, the number of orphans is always huge, and there are a total of six orphanages in Guangzu Tancheng, each of which has more than 100 awakened children of appropriate age every year.
Our protagonist No. 113 is one of them, as an orphan he has no name, only a code name, every orphanage is like this, that is to say, six orphanages have 613, he should not be the special one.
In order, the first to play was the first orphanage in Zutan City,
The first was a boy, in full view of everyone, looking at the two-meter-high black boulder on the stage with various peculiar symbols, and he was afraid,
However, the representatives of the Zutan City families sitting at the bottom would not give an orphan a kind and kind face, in fact, they only cared about the end of today's ceremony.
The principal on one side grabbed the boy's arm very unceremoniously, and dragged him to the black boulder no matter how much the boy fluttered
He handed the boy over to the officer in charge of testing and yelled at the queue, "Follow me one by one"
The boy, who was already standing in front of the black boulder, cried out in fear,
However, the person in charge of the inspection completely ignored his tears and scooped out a spoonful of scarlet slurry from the vat behind him
That's blood, the blood of demon beasts, and its role is the fuel for the martial soul awakening stone.
Drizzle a spoonful of blood with a strong stench on the black boulder, and the black boulder finally reveals its original appearance
On the black boulder, the red brilliance flows, and the various strange patterns on the seal, and the symbols all operate in an unpredictable law, fast and slow, and look mysterious.
Another person standing next to the boulder grabbed the boy's hand and pressed it towards the Martial Spirit Awakening Stone
When the young palm pressed on the martial soul awakening stone, the mysterious symbols and lines that circulated were a few points faster
A ray of red light poured into the boy's body, and in an instant,
The boy's eyes suddenly turned yellow, his nose was also cocked, the nails on the palms and soles of his feet were protruding, and yellow spots poured out on his skin, the most obvious being the back, only to see that the entire back was bulging, crushing the clothes, and the bulging part slowly declined, it turned out to be a turtle shell, when the deformation on the body was completely completed, from a distance, the boy had become a large humanoid turtle.
Another person in charge walked up, and he pressed his hand on the boy's turtle shell, and a trace of spiritual power poured out of his palm and probed into the boy's body
"Innate Martial Apprentice Two Realms"
He announced to the heads of the families in the audience
Then he said to the little boy, "Go there, don't run around," he said, pointing to a place
The little boy was very excited, although he was very unattractive to the turtle he dreamed of, such as the dragon martial spirit, the giant sword martial soul, and the phoenix martial soul, but he had also awakened, and he could become a cultivator in the future, and then rise step by step, eating delicious oranges every day.
The boy had a sweet dream and entered an area specially prepared for children who awakened martial spirits.

The bigwigs sitting in the audience talked and laughed with each other, drinking tea, as if they were not coming to work, but to go on an outing.
"Yellow-shelled turtle, this first shot is not very loud!" said Qu Pei, the person in charge of the Qu family
"You are content, Brother Qu, you are here for the first time, brother, I have been here many times, these orphans, don't have too much hope, I am already very satisfied if the first shot can be fired in previous years" The person in charge of the Lin family on the other side, Lin Dong drank wine and said with a smile
"So, this young man and I are very fateful, then this yellow-shelled turtle, just give it to you, brothers" Qu Pei also smiled and drank wine
"It turned out that you were waiting for me here, but this year is the head of the Ye family, you want this young man, and you have to talk to Brother Ye about it."
"Brother Ye, what do you say?"
"According to the rules, but I don't have to choose this child," the person in charge of the Ye family, Ye Wen said
Hearing this, Qu Pei looked at the person in charge of the Snake Family, Snake Wei, who had not spoken
Snake Wei, like the entire snake family, because of the heirloom martial spirit, the bamboo green snake, has a sense of yin, looking at you, it makes people uncomfortable
"Brother Qu, you like it, of course I won't rob you, after all, this year, my snake family is after the Qu family, but if this young man is still there when we get to our snake family, it proves that your brother Qu doesn't like this yellow-shelled turtle very much, then I'm welcome, after all, our snake family has always lacked this thick shield."
The conversation has ended here, the Qu family and the snake family have never dealt with each other, and the clansmen of the two families also don't like each other, so Qu Pei has long expected the snake Wei's backlash.
In other words, it is an accident that the snake does not choke.
————
The conversation of the bigwigs in the audience, of course, was not heard by anyone,
The awakening of the martial soul on the stage was finally carried out in an orderly manner after the first child's personal demonstration.
However, as if to prove Lin Dong's words, the next few children did not awaken the martial spirit,
————
The awakening of the martial soul has always been a matter of fate, even if it is the members of the four major families of Zutan City who have heirloom martial souls, there are often situations where there is no martial soul in the direct bloodline.
Of course, there are more parents who do not have martial souls, giving birth to children without martial souls.
One hundred and thirteen, like all the children who are waiting, on the one hand, they are eager to try the awakening of the martial spirit, but on the other hand, their legs are trembling with fear
For these orphans who have nothing, the awakening of martial spirits is more important than ordinary people, because they have no relatives to rely on, no farmland or houses to inherit, and all they have is themselves.
The martial soul awakens and enters the major families to work and work, in exchange for some food and the possibility of upwards
The awakening of the martial soul failed, the orphanage will not take you in, what else do you have, begging, stealing? In short, it is a humble life, a ten-year-old child, he can't imagine in his mind how he should live outside, in fact, the orphan who has not awakened the martial soul can survive less than one percent in the end,
True: Heaven decides who lives and who dies, and all a child can do is pray.
The thirty-sixth stood in front of the one hundred and thirteenth, and they were friends.
And for the one hundred and thirteenth, the thirty-sixth is more like a big brother-like existence,
In a small orphanage, hundreds of children live, no, it should be called survival here,
Everything is in fixed quantities, food has to be grabbed, clothes have to be grabbed, and the oranges for the meal are even more fierce.
The body of Number One One Hundred and Thirteen is considered to be in the middle and lower in the orphanage, and some of the thin figures do not have any advantage in the robbery,
Time has long made No. 113 forget how he met No. 36, anyway, the two have become brothers-like beings in memory.
No. 36 is very stocky, and he can defeat most people by pushing left and right in the snatch, and grab things, of course, what the two get after that, basically rely on No. 36 to ensure that they can enter the stomachs of the two.
Different from No. 36 square and honest feeling, No. 113 is very beautiful, a pair of big eyes are as bright as stars, eyebrows are like swords, engraved above, long-term uncared for hair is casually draped on the shoulders, and it will not give people a sloppy feeling, the whole is a beautiful little Zhengtai, it is conceivable that he will be a handsome teenager when he grows up.
The mothers in the orphanage are very fond of the handsome No. 113, and sometimes they will secretly bring him some small snacks, which eventually become a snack for the two of them.
For the two who have been independent since childhood, no one cares about them, they care more about each other, they have a deep relationship, not brothers, better than brothers
Number 36 held the hand of number 113 tightly,
"Rest assured, we will succeed, definitely"
Number 113 felt the slightly trembling hand and knew that he was also very worried
"Well, we will definitely be able to awaken the martial spirit."
