Chapter 1 – Awakening Day (2/2)
“Follow me.” Perhaps it was due to the excessive workload on Awakening Day, but the teacher seemed somewhat apathetic as he quickly turned around and began walking ahead. Tang Ziran brought Tang Wulin and hastened to catch up with the teacher.
As they walked along the small path inside of the academy, Tang Wulin was excitedly taking everything in. It was just like he had said, everything was a novelty to him. Red Mountain Academy was an elementary grade comprehensive academy able to hold two thousand students. The buildings within the academy were all simple and unadorned with white roofs and red walls. The academy grounds were exceptionally clean. Awakening Day was right before the start of a new term. In comparison to the clamor outside of the walls, the academy seemed unusually peaceful. Tang Wulin's excited heart seemed to have been calmed by this environment.
The teacher brought them to the front of a circular building before telling Tang Ziran, “Would the child's parent please wait here for a moment?”
Tang Ziran nodded his head and told his son, “Listen to the teacher's commands, and good luck son! Dad will be waiting right here for you.”
Tang Wulin rigorously nodded his head. “I'll definitely have a powerful martial soul, dad!”
As he watched his son follow the teacher into the circular building, a trace of disappointment and frustration appeared within Tang Ziran's eyes as he reminisced of the past. Every single elementary academy would have this circular building. It was called the Awakening Chamber, and it was specifically used to aid six year old children in the awakening of their martial soul. Before the day of the awakening ceremony, the academy would invite a Spirit Master from the Spirit PaG.o.da to conduct the awakening ceremony. Decades ago, he had the same hopes when he entered the Awakening Chamber.
There wasn't just a single awakening area within the Awakening Chamber, rather there were seven floors and within each one was an Awakening Chamber. Tang Wulin was brought to the Awakening Chamber on the third floor.
As soon as he entered the Awakening Chamber, Tang Wulin was dazzled. All of the floors, the walls, and even the ceiling had wonderful inscriptions carved into them to create an elegant, decorative design.
Within the Awakening Chamber was a middle aged man wearing a simple orange robe, that featured the embroidered form of a soul beast.
Since childhood, Tang Wulin had loved to listen to his father's stories and within those stories, Spirit Masters would always appear. These Spirit Masters from the Spirit PaG.o.da were powerful and mysterious existences. They were an exceptionally special group of Soul Masters and held an extremely majestic status on the Douluo Continent. However, this was the first time he had ever seen one.
“h.e.l.lo.” Tang Wulin shyly replied.
The Soul Master wore a gentle smile on his face. “Come here child. Stand in the middle.”
Tang Wulin blinked for a moment before he cutely walked over and stood in the middle. He couldn't help but ask, “Lord Spirit Master, what kind of martial soul will I have?”
The Spirit Master replied with a smile, “Ah, I don't know either! After you've awakened, you'll naturally be able to see what it is. Anyway your eyes are so pretty, it would be just perfect if you got a martial soul related to your eyes.”
Tang Wulin's eyes s.h.i.+ned. “Soul eyes? I heard that the first master of the Spirit PaG.o.da had spirit eyes….”
The Spirit Master interrupted him, “Quiet down. I'm about to begin.”
