Chapter 5: The Awakening of the Martial Spirit
"Uh......"
Ye Hengyuan shook his head effortlessly and closed his eyes tightly. There was a pain in his forehead, so painful that he couldn't open his eyes.
Where am I? Am I not dead? Who saved me?
He gritted his teeth, slowly lifted himself up, half-sat up, raised his head, and gently rubbed his eyes. Gone are the aches and pains in all parts of the body, except for the head, and in their place there is a warm feeling of comfort, and a tingling sensation, like taking a comfortable hot bath in a large vat of hot water.
He slowly opened his eyes, taking a closer look at his body, the quilt he was covering, and the bed beneath him. All the wounds were healed, and not a single trace remained. The old clothes that had been shattered by lightning were also replaced, and in their place were a new pair of dry underwear with a faint fragrance on them. The quilt was a new bed, not high-end, but clean and sturdy enough, without any patches or signs of wear on it.
Who the hell is it......
Ye Hengyuan raised his head and carefully looked at the room he was in. It was a dormitory, about seven or eight square meters in size, with no furniture other than two bunk beds and two simple wooden cabinets. There was no one else in the entire dormitory except him. At this moment, he himself was lying on the bottom bunk of one of the beds. There was only one quilt on the other bed, which was exactly the same as the one on his body. He turned around and glanced out the window on the right. It was already dawn, and several teams of soldiers were practicing outside around the field. All of them did not wear armor, only ordinary military uniforms, and each of them released their own martial spirits.
Am I in the military?
"Anyone?" he cautiously called to the door.
"Squeak-" The door was pushed open. A young short soldier walked in with a plate of food.
"Are you awake?" he smiled, "Let's eat something first." ”
"You?"
Ye Hengyuan was a little stunned, shook his head, confirmed that he was not mistaken, held the side of the bed, and slowly stood up.
"The general commanded, let me take good care of you. Your internal injuries are not completely healed right now, and you need to rest for a day or two before you can walk. ”
"This ...... This ......" Ye Hengyuan was a little flattered and shook his head, "Old ...... Boss, yes...... Did you save me?"
"No, no, no," the soldier waved his hand at once, "don't call me boss." I can't afford it. The captain told me that the general said that you are a very important person. ”
"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan didn't believe his ears a little, and pointed to himself, "I, an important person, are you mistaken? I'm just a little cook?"
"There can be no mistake in what General Qiu said," the soldier politely placed the tray containing food on the small cabinet next to the bed, "you can eat something first." If you have any needs, feel free to call me. My name is Chen Jian, Erdong Chen, Jianjian. ”
"That'...... ......" Ye Hengyuan felt that his brain was a little unturned, "the one you just talked about...... General Qiu...... Who is it?"
"He is the commander of the First Spirit Regiment directly under our First Group Army in the Northwest, Major General Qiu Bai," Chen Jian replied, "and now he has led most of his troops to the west entrance of the Cangyan Mountains to resist the enemy's attack." He will probably come back after repelling this enemy attack...... I don't know exactly either. If you have any needs, feel free to call me. I'll go first, so I won't disturb your rest. ”
"Squeak-" Chen Jian gently exited the room and closed the door.
Ye Hengyuan sat back on the bed, staring at the wooden door in front of him with dull eyes.
It turned out that he was saved by someone in the army...... But why did the army come to my rescue? Oh yes, I just happened to be picked up by them...... But...... That General Qiu...... Why is that I said I was important?
"Gurgling ......" the stomach rattled. Instinctively, he jumped out of bed and rushed to the tray on the cabinet.
The tray contained a plate of steamed buns, a small plate of pickles, and a large bowl of white rice porridge. He grabbed the chopsticks next to him, threw himself down in front of the tray, and ate it in a big gulp. Within a few minutes, all that was left of the tray was empty plates and bowls. The skin of the buns is a bit thick, and the white rice porridge is a little too thick. If he was asked to do it, he would be able to make it several times more delicious than that. But now that it's all like this, who cares?
"Ahh As soon as his head touched the bed, his head inevitably hurt again. It hurts with it, and the heart.
Last night...... The whole town was destroyed...... What about the surrounding villages? What happened to Grandpa? What about the people in the village? He shook his head vigorously, trying not to think about these things, but he couldn't get rid of them.
"Uhhhh Immediately after, a wave of spiritual power spread from his body. Without any warning, without any other action, it is simply spreading.
"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan turned over again and looked around every corner of the room. There really was no one else in the room and no one else around. He was sure that this voice, this fluctuation of spiritual power, was coming from himself.
In the next second, a cloud of green light emerged from his forehead and spread down his face and neck, instantly covering his entire body. As the process of diffusion, the color of the green light becomes darker and darker, from light green to turquoise to turquoise, and the speed of flickering is also getting faster and faster. At this time, Ye Hengyuan looked like a huge firefly.
"Ah...... Ah......h
Ye Hengyuan lowered his head and raised his arms, which kept emitting turquoise light, at a loss. Before he could react effectively, an extremely uncomfortable burning sensation suddenly came from his back, and he fell to the bed in pain.
The pattern of the dragon-patterned celestial halberd is presented on his back. The dark green halberd shaft, the turquoise halberd blade, and the dark green dragon pattern, as if it had life, slowly rose from his back and suspended in mid-air.
"Ahh He didn't know why he was doing this, he just felt like someone was telling him that he had to do it, that he had to endure the pain.
The pillar of turquoise light that had appeared before rose from his chest again, heading straight for the dragon pattern Fang Tian Halberd phantom in the air. Immediately afterwards, on his chest and abdomen, an identical Fang Tian Halberd phantom appeared. Unlike the shadow in the air, this shadow is light green, with a slight yellow glow on the edge of the halberd blade and the tip of the halberd.
The light green Fang Tian Halberd phantom also slowly rose, flush with the dark green phantom in the air. The two phantoms rotated at high speed around the spiritual power pillar at the same time.
"Uhhh
The pillar of light flickered violently, emitting an incomparably dazzling bright light that illuminated the entire room. Ye Hengyuan was frightened, closed his eyes, and instinctively raised his arms to cover himself.
After a few seconds, the light faded. Ye Hengyuan carefully parted his ten fingers, opened his eyes, and looked ahead of him through his fingers. The pillar of light and the phantom were gone, replaced by a real dragon-patterned celestial halberd suspended in front of him.
The light green halberd tip, the turquoise and slightly yellowed halberd blade, the dark green halberd shaft, and the dark green dragon pattern on the halberd shaft.
It is two meters long and twenty centimeters wide. The handle is eighteen centimeters long, the blade is thirty centimeters long, and the knife is half a centimeter thick. Circles of turquoise spiritual power fluctuations surrounded it up and down, not only losing the simple and heavy sense of vicissitudes, but also exuding a rich vitality.
"This ...... This ......"
Ye Hengyuan still couldn't believe his eyes, and reached out and rubbed his eyes vigorously, only then did he confirm that everything in front of him was indeed the truth.
"That's what it is...... It's mine...... Martial spirits?"
He slowly stretched out his right hand, and a trace of spiritual power was released from his hand, wanting to pull Fang Tianhald over. But this Fang Heavenly Halberd was like having eyes, and before his hand could reach over, it floated over and burrowed into his empty fist that he didn't clench. He didn't realize that the spiritual power he released was no longer a simple colorless fluctuation, but the same turquoise color as the Fang Tian Halberd in front of him. He just subconsciously stretched out his left hand as well, and held the halberd pole with both hands at the same time. A cool and comfortable feeling came in the palm of his hand, and instantly spread throughout his body.
"Great...... Great......"
He couldn't help but mumble to himself, almost jumping up with excitement. It is said in the book that martial spirits may be all things in the world, but the vast majority of high-level martial spirits are in the form of weapons or magic weapons. Fang Tianhalberd is the existence of the upper layer of the weapon, and the weapon with the dragon pattern, phoenix pattern or unicorn pattern is the existence of the upper layer of this type of martial spirit.
The Dragon-patterned Fang Heavenly Halberd is undoubtedly a top-grade martial spirit! It may even be the best!
But why did my martial spirit awaken now, and why did it awaken only after I was seriously injured?
Could it be the general who saved me......?
"Knock, knock, knock" There was a knock outside the door.
"Who?" Ye Hengyuan handed Fang Tianhald to his right hand, and his left hand was about to open the door.
"Squeak-" The door was pushed open. Chen Jian appeared at the door and came in with him, along with eight spirit masters in the same attire.
"Ahh
"Wow-"
Eight people saw the dragon pattern Fang Tian Halberd in Ye Hengyuan's hand at the same time. They all screamed as if they had seen a monster. For these low-level martial spirit owners who could only be low-level spirit masters all their lives, the Dragon Pattern Fang Heavenly Halberd was undoubtedly a holy relic-like existence.
Before Ye Hengyuan could react, the Dragon Pattern Fang Heavenly Halberd once again released a wave of spiritual power. This spiritual power wave was no longer the gentle fluctuation just now, but was full of domineering and aggressiveness, spreading out in an instant, enveloping the eight spirit masters led by Chen Jian.
The strong oppressive force made Chen Jian and the other eight people's faces change greatly, and each of them took two steps back and released their own martial spirits. In Chen Jian's hand, there was an extra two-finger-thick brown whip, which looked like it was made of cowhide. This cowhide whip was somewhat similar to the silver whip that Jiang Chengyu had held in his hand, but it was obviously several levels lower than it. The martial spirits of the other seven people are also weapons, namely a short sword, a dagger, two simple knives, two round shields, and a heart guard. All of them are ordinary weapon-type martial spirits. But as soon as these martial spirits were released, they were suppressed to the point that they couldn't move at all, and they couldn't be moved at all, although the sum of the spiritual power of the eight of them was far better than the current Ye Hengyuan, but the grade of the dragon pattern Fang Heavenly Halberd was too high, and they couldn't breathe for a while. Even the operation of spiritual power is very difficult.
"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan realized at this time, and hurriedly urged his spiritual power, learning from Jiang Chengyu's appearance of retracting the silver whip, and taking Fang Tian's halberd back into his body. Fang Tian Halberd did not first turn into liquid spiritual power and then return to his body like the silver whip that day, but directly disappeared in his original form.
Chen Jian and the other eight were all stunned, looking at Ye Hengyuan like a monster. As ordinary inferior spirit master warriors, they had never seen such a powerful superior martial spirit.
"Right...... I'm sorry," Ye Hengyuan shook his head again and again, waving his hand, "I'...... I shouldn't have ......"
"Chen Jian," said a slightly older and slightly taller spirit master, "when will the general come back?"
"Uh......" Chen Jian shook his head, "I don't know...... I should be back soon......"
"Knock, knock, knock, knock......" A sound of extremely rapid footsteps sounded, from far to near, closer and closer, and faster and faster.
"Chen Jian!Wang Qian!The general is back with his personal guards!" A spirit master in the same outfit as Chen Jian and the others quickly ran to the door and shouted loudly. There is no doubt that he is also just an ordinary fighter.
"Ah, got it!" Chen Jian and Wang Qian shouted at the door at the same time.
"What...... What?" Ye Hengyuan rubbed his ears, "Who is coming back?"
"It's General Qiu," Chen Jian turned around, faced Ye Hengyuan, and said, "It's okay, you don't have to be nervous." When the general returns, you'll have everything you deserve. ”
"Huh?" Ye Hengyuan scratched his head, "What does this mean? Is it to let me join the army? But I haven't practiced any serious martial arts......
"It's okay, you don't have to worry," Chen Jian said, "You'll know after a while." ”
Ten minutes later, Qiu Bai led a team of spirit masters to appear at the door of the barracks. There were about fifty or so spirits in this group, and each of them was an officer, or at least a second lieutenant. The commander of the third battalion followed in the middle of the ranks.
"General!" Chen Jian and Wang Qian all stood at the door and saluted Qiu Bai with the guards guarding the door.
"Is he awake?" said Qiu Bai's tone gently.
"Yes. Chen Jian replied.
"Okay," Qiu Bai nodded, turned his head, and faced the officers behind him, "You all go back to you and resume normal training." Chen Jian, Wang Qian, you two come with me. ”
Chen Jian and Wang Qian immediately followed, followed Qiu Bai to the dormitory, and did not say anything or ask.
Ye Hengyuan sat back on the bed, raised his hand, and gently rubbed his chest. He just felt that everything was happening too fast, and he didn't have time to react and digest at all.
I actually have the best martial spirit! A general saved me! But why is that?
"Squeak-" The door was pushed open
