Chapter 3: Bright Lights

In the middle of the night, Ye Feng lay in his own house, looking at the dark walls, and couldn't sleep for a long time. His father's words always lingered in his ears, and his thoughts kept reminding him of the scenes of seven years ago.

With a light sigh, Ye Feng turned over and got out of bed, silently pushed open the wooden door of the house, the breeze blew, blowing his messy hair with coolness, the breeze was very cool, as if following the moonlight, spilling the earth.

It was extremely secluded, with the occasional faint hiss or two coming from the mountains in the distance.

Ye Feng looked up at the sky, in the sparse stars and moonlight, the bright galaxy seemed to be eternal, making Ye Feng's eyes slowly reveal confusion.

"If the martial soul doesn't awaken, there is no way to practice, you can only stay here for the rest of your life, you can't get out of Bamboo Forest Town, and you will never be able to see the world described in the booklet......" Ye Feng silently sat down against the wall of the house, looking at the sky, and the confusion in his eyes became even thicker.

“...... Cultivators, fly into the sky and move mountains and seas...... Those with spirit patterns can draw the ...... of heavenly soldiers" In the middle of the night, in the courtyard of the Ye family, there was a young man full of dreams, looking at the sky and muttering softly......

At this time, he didn't notice that the willow leaf birthmark on his chest once again flashed away......

Time flickered, and soon it was the third day.

As the martial soul awakening ceremony of the Ye family of this generation in Zhulin Town, the Ye family was lively early in the morning, and the VIPs came to celebrate one after another. Almost all the clansmen of the Ye family walked out, took their children, and gathered in the square in the center of the Ye family.

Today is a good day compared to the Ye family. The martial soul awakening ceremony is also once every seven years. Today is such a day, and almost all the people with heads and faces up and down the entire Bamboo Forest Town have heard the news and come to celebrate and watch.

Although the Ye family is weak, it is also one of the three major forces in Zhulin Town. The Zhu family, the Lin family, and the Ye family can be said to be famous in Zhulin Town, and the strength and potential of the younger generations naturally attract the attention of all forces in Zhulin Town.

The time required for the Martial Spirit Awakening Ritual is often a full day. The drums beat rhythmically, swirling in the Ye family's compound, and with the appearance of the drums, one by one the children walked out of the crowd and stood in the center of the square.

This time, there are more than thirty people to complete the awakening of martial souls, and most of them are teenagers.

"Ye Feng, I heard from the people of the clan that you went to the mountains a few days ago and came back from picking ambergris. A straightforward voice came from Ye Feng's side.

It was a young man of the same age as Ye Feng, with dark skin and a very strong body, half a head taller than Ye Feng. His eyes were very bright, and he was looking at Ye Feng at this time, and he smiled.

Looking at the young man, Ye Feng had a smile on his face, this young man's name was Ye Chen, he was the same clan of the Ye family, and he was also one of his few friends in the clan.

"Picked some, went to look for you yesterday, your father said that you followed the hunting team up the mountain, and when the martial soul awakening ceremony is over, come to me and take some away." ”

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, smiled, and said, "I met a white deer on the way, and I knew that you needed deer blood for medicine, so I followed, I came back last night." ”

Ye Feng knew that hunting the white deer was both difficult and dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would even take his life, and at this moment Ye Feng felt warm in his heart.

As the two were talking, the drumming gradually subsided, and they saw Ye Haiyuan wearing green clothes, holding a dark stone in his hand, surrounded by several Ye family members, and walked in front of these teenagers.

Ye Haiyuan's appearance made the entire noisy Ye family square suddenly quiet, and the eyes of the guests and the Ye family all fell on Ye Haiyuan.

"Everyone, welcome to the martial soul awakening ceremony of the descendants of my Ye family. Ye Haiyuan's eyes were blazing, sweeping all the guests around the square, and between the words, the black stone held in his right hand was thrown into the air.

At the same time, his left hand raised his five fingers and clenched his fist and released it violently, and immediately a strong aura suddenly spread out from his body, and this aura swept around, forming a tornado, rolling up the black stones in the air.

Golden spirit patterns emerged from Ye Haiyuan's face, intertwining with each other, forming a totem of the head of a golden eagle.

The head of the golden eagle was vivid, and it was transformed into Ye Haiyuan's face, as if crying in the sky.

"Golden Eagle Spirit Pattern...... This is Daddy's spirit pattern......" Ye Feng looked at Ye Haiyuan blankly, watching the transformation of the spirit pattern on his face, and his heart was already replaced by shock. The last time he saw this scene was seven years ago, and now he sees it again, and his feelings are several times stronger than seven years ago.

......

"Boom!" A roar interrupted Ye Feng's thoughts, only to see a black hill as smooth as a mirror falling in the center of the square.

Its appearance caused great pressure around the square.

"Martial Soul Awakening Stone ......" Ye Feng's heart was beating violently and violently, as if it was about to explode, but at this moment, the birthmark on his chest had a hidden warm current emanating out and integrating into his body, making that uncomfortable feeling disappear in an instant.

This comfortable feeling made Ye Feng stunned, and he was about to look down subconsciously, when at this moment, Ye Haiyuan's voice echoed.

"Step forward in turn and touch the Martial Soul Awakening Stone with your hands!"

As soon as the words fell, I immediately saw a young man walking up quickly, stepping into the black halo of the Martial Spirit Awakening Stone, and disappeared in an instant.

After a while, I saw the young man emerge from the place where he had disappeared, his face gloomy, and he quietly retreated to the side, standing silent.

"Next!" The person who shouted was Ye Haibo, his expression was serious, and his blazing eyes swept over these children.

One by one, the boys and girls stepped forward and disappeared into the black halo, and after a while, they reappeared, and it was not until a boy stepped into the black halo that the black boulder flashed red.

The spirits of the Ye family suddenly perked up, and even Ye Haiyuan looked at it intently, only to see that the red light continued to flash seven times before the boy's figure came out.

"Martial Soul Awakening!"

When the boy appeared, his face was full of surprise.

"Your name is Ye Liang, right, come to me. Ye Haiyuan smiled, looked at the boy, and nodded.

Watching Ye Liang walk towards Ye Haiyuan, Ye Feng gritted his teeth in silence and took the next step towards the black boulder.

Ye Feng's walk out immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding eyes. The son of the patriarch also has a clear difference in the status of the Ye family, this time Ye Feng's martial soul can be awakened, then the next position of the head of the Ye family will be him......

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Feng, and the meanings on it were different, until his figure disappeared in the black halo.

Ye Feng took a deep breath, glanced at Ye Haiyuan, who was looking at him not far away, and reached out to touch the black boulder.

"Hum!" sounded, and he felt a force enveloping his whole body, as if he had melted into the mud, and there was a feeling of bonding all over his body.

All around was suddenly pitch black, except for a fist-sized black stone floating directly in front of it, emitting a black halo. The appearance of the black stone was exactly the same as the huge black stone he had seen outside, and there was a hint of pressure in the looming appearance.

Looking at the fist-sized black stone, Ye Feng was silent for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and touched towards the black stone.

Under the touch, Ye Feng's face showed bitterness, he knew that if the martial soul awakened, it only took one touch to make the soul stone emit red light, but now, just like the scene seven years ago, the black stone had not changed in the slightest.

"Alas...... It's hard for me to become a cultivator in this life......" Ye Feng bit his lower lip tightly, sighed bitterly, and was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, he felt a shock all over his body, looked up at the hanging black stone, and his eyes were not only stunned for a moment!

At the same time, he saw the willow leaf birthmark on his chest, exuding a dazzling light......
