Chapter 390 - - 387 My Martial Spirit turned out to be myself_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Sea God?

Old Gao's mind involuntarily sprang up with a name. I just said I couldn't get out without me, and you awoke a nine-star Martial Spirit?

Isn't that a slap in the face?

No, it's not right.

If the guy emerging from the sea was really the Sea God, then Holley's Martial Spirit should be a ten-star Martial Spirit!

In the records of Martial Spirits, any that are related to a god, as long as that god isn't too useless, are uniformly designated as ten-star...

Since time immemorial.

There hasn't been anyone whose Martial Spirit is the Sea God, right?

The image of the Sea God gradually perfected until it stood upon the sea surface, a pressure emanating from the Martial Spirit...

Gulp!

Old Gao swallowed hard as he stared at the Sea God's figure with richly detailed features, where even the patterns on the golden Sea God Scepter were crystal clear, his face full of shock.

The evidence is solid. With such a detailed figure, perfect physique, it's definitely the Sea God without a doubt.

Ten-star Martial Spirit!

I must be seeing a ghost!

Who awakens their Martial Spirit in a quiet chamber, focusing their mind and breath, and finds a few trustworthy guardians...

And you, after just a few words, conjured up a ten-star Martial Spirit so easily?

With such outstanding talent, how did you fail to awaken the first time?

Li En and his companions fell silent as well.

Their Martial Spirits were four or five stars, and Lass even had a six-star Martial Spirit, which already made them outstanding figures amongst those with Martial Spirits.

They thought that by making a guarding promise previously, it was Duge that had taken advantage of them.

But having seen this vivid ten-star Martial Spirit, they realized that perhaps it was they who had benefited.

Even people who awaken nine-star Martial Spirits, once they grow, without exception become top fighters among humans...

And the currently existing ten-star Martial Spirits should only be the Pope's Twelve-winged Angel and War God's apostle Ludeke's Blue Flame Holy Dragon, but neither the Twelve-winged Angel nor the Blue Flame Holy Dragon are true God Spirits!

If I remember correctly, Holley is awakening his Martial Spirit for the second time, right?

Indeed, special people can awaken their Martial Spirits a second time...

No wonder when Holley first awakened his Martial Spirit, someone deliberately caused trouble to interfere with the formation of his Martial Spirit...

Ten-star Martial Spirit, oh!

Too terrifying!

If he grows up, he would be capable of shaking all the powers on the continent.

It matches up, everything he said matches up.

...

Holley carries nothing but conspiracies, and this time Saima Lynch's plot is likely targeted at him too...

Ten-star Martial Spirit!

Holley, upright at heart, yet showing himself to the world as a profligate.

Duke Linqi's conspiracy specifically against him...

On Holley could there be some sacred lineage?

When a series of events were linked together, everyone including Old Gao looked at Duge differently.

Nobody dared to disturb Duge, who was now experiencing the Martial Spirit.

Old Gao and Ole, who had just recovered his Martial Spirit, voluntarily stood in front of Duge, guarding him from the left and the right, and warned the prisoners in the jail with their eyes.

The most vulnerable time for a Martial Spirit is right after its awakening when any disturbance could cause it to dissipate instantly.

A prison is really not a good environment for awakening a Martial Spirit.

But considering Holley's predicament, Li En and the others couldn't really say anything either.

In his current situation, what better place would there be for him to awaken his Martial Spirit in peace?

Among everyone present, the one who felt the most guilt was Old Gao. If he had told Holley straight up that he could help everyone unseal their Martial Spirits, Holley probably wouldn't have risked awakening his Martial Spirit!

Ten-star Martial Spirit!

If Holley had failed to awaken, Old Gao would have died of guilt...

...

It's a success!

Duge had long taken in everyone's reactions, and he secretly smiled to himself.

With over two million in spiritual power and experiences across numerous Alien Battlefields, his divine consciousness was so strong that it easily spanned several kilometers, allowing him to distinguish directions and targets with precision amidst a plethora of noisy disturbances. The bunch in the prison couldn’t possibly interfere with him.

Old Gao had explained to him the difficulty of breaking out of prison, and the unique nature of the prison meant that it was impossible for him to boost his attributes quickly with keywords.

Therefore, utilizing the natives’ method to improve his strength was the fastest.

Whether it was successful or not, he had to try.

So Duge scanned through Holley’s memories and found the method to awaken the Martial Spirit, and he began the awakening process immediately.

Typically, the awakening of Martial Spirits is related to one’s bloodline and inheritance.

In this world, families with star-ranked Martial Spirits often engaged in marriages to increase the odds of their progeny awakening higher-tier Martial Spirits.

Holley’s family possessed no foresight-type Martial Spirits. They were more of an offensive type, similar to Li En’s. Holley’s father awoke with the Wolf Martial Spirit, which was not even on par with Li En’s Black Tiger…

Duge had thought that he would awaken a similar offensive type of Martial Spirit, but to his surprise, with his affinity for water, he awakened the Sea God instead.

To be precise, he awakened himself.

Because the Sea God figure in his Martial Spirit was exactly like his appearance as Paul in the third simulation, even down to the Sea God scepter that Paul held in his hand, with the “fish” character he had carved on the scepter clearly visible…

Once the image of Paul materialized completely, Duge could distinctly feel his affinity for the water element had further increased. He could even feel the moisture suspended in the air.

Moreover, his physical fitness was improving gradually, akin to when he had created the stock market and many participated regularly, helping him brush up on keywords.

This is Martial Spirit, isn’t it?

Duge’s heart fluttered, as Martial Spirits constantly improved the host’s physical fitness, much like keywords did.

No wonder Holley had changed so drastically after failing to awaken his Martial Spirit.

Failure to awaken the Martial Spirit completely cut off his path to ascension. Resigned to live as a commoner, it was unthinkable for the proud Holley to tolerate such a blow.

Martial Spirits provided continual enhancement of one’s physical fitness. Similarly, proper use of the two keywords also boosted physical fitness.

Triple safeguard, three methods of improvement.

In this world, who can cultivate faster than him?

Duge was ecstatic. Bai Long forbade him from using Water Series Spells, but now that he had awakened the Sea God as his Martial Spirit, no matter what kind of Water Series Spell he used, there would be nothing to say!

Moreover.

Duge felt that he should be able to awaken another Martial Spirit, just like he had two keywords, his body harbored two souls, it made no sense to be able to awaken only one Martial Spirit…

Double Martial Spirits!

Double keywords!

Weren’t there various rules to constrain me?

Didn’t I start off with the identity of a scoundrel, coupled with a righteous keyword to disgust me?

Too bad I’m about to disappoint you all once again.

In this world, I’m set to take off once more.

…

“Mr. Holley, I am willing to turn over a new leaf and follow you. Please give me a chance.”

“Mr. Holley, you are a man of integrity. Even for Saima Lynch, you were willing to give her a chance to start over. Please grant me the same opportunity.”

“I am willing to guard you for the rest of my life.”

…

The prison was filled with voices one after another, interrupting Duge’s contemplation.

Holley had awakened a ten-star Martial Spirit and had a mysterious follower capable of lifting the Martial Spirit’s seal. This prison was destined not to stop his soaring steps. If they didn’t seize the opportunity to follow a mighty figure now, when would they?

“Simon, release everyone!” Duge said with a smile.

As he experimented with the abilities of the Martial Spirit, he couldn’t help but exclaim that combining the Martial Spirit with the exertion of the Sea God’s Power, he could easily condense the moisture in the air into a solid form.

At the thought of Duge, a water orb formed in the palm of his hand, flexibly morphing into various shapes, leaving Li En and the others agape in astonishment.

Is this the power of a ten-star Martial Spirit?

Their Martial Spirits either improved their physique, speed, or defense, and after honing their skills, they developed only one or two unique finishing moves.

But Holley, just upon awakening his Martial Spirit, could control water with a flexibility that exceeded even that of a Water Series Mage…

Indeed.

One simply cannot compare people with each other.

“Mr. Holley, these are heinous criminals, the most adept at lying. Are you really going to release them?” After witnessing the Sea God Martial Spirit, Simon’s admiration for Duge had peaked, and he voiced his concern.

“No worries, Simon. I was apprehensive about releasing them before, fearing they would harm innocents,” Duge laughed, “but now, having awakened my Martial Spirit and destined to reach the pinnacle, it is my duty to forge a new order for this world. Now that I possess the power to restrain them, guiding them towards goodness is my responsibility. I can’t abandon them just because they have committed crimes…”

Duge didn’t awaken a second Martial Spirit while in prison.

The Sea God Martial Spirit was enough to stun the crowd. Even if he was to awaken a second Martial Spirit, it had to be at the right moment, in the right place, to ensure maximum benefits from the second Martial Spirit.
