As soon as he walked out of the carriage curtain, Ling Bingtian saw a slightly plain but quite huge square. This is the central square of Jibing City. It was designed and built by the original Duke of Jibing. It was built in front of the Government Affairs Office of Jibing City and is one of the landmark buildings of Jibing City.
In the center of the central square, there is a high platform with a marble statue standing on it. It was the statue of the first Duke Jibing. After his death, his descendants voluntarily organized and erected it. On all four sides of this statue, there are four soul king-level experts from the Ling family and hundreds of ordinary Jibing soldiers standing guard all year round to prevent ignorant children from disrespectful behavior towards it or against Jibing City. Soul masters with evil intentions attacked it.
The annual martial soul awakening ceremony is held in front of this statue. The implication is that the martial soul is awakened under the watchful eye of the first generation of Jibing Duke, hoping to get the blessing of the first generation of Jibing Duke and get good luck. .
This year's Wuhun Awakening Ceremony is no exception. In front of the Duke's statue, there are already more than a dozen professional Wuhun Awakening Masters from the Ling family standing in front, waiting for the first batch of children to be awakened.
In fact, they are professional martial soul awakening masters, but they are those soul masters who have awakened high-quality martial souls for children from the martial soul awakening rituals of the past generations. They are determined to have such luck to awaken good martial souls, not that There are specialized training methods.
After all, martial arts are innate, and I have never heard of anything that can affect the awakening of martial spirits.
But in this kind of world where gods really exist, there is still a market for such metaphysical terms as professional martial soul awakening masters. These martial soul awakening masters are also jokingly called God's favored ones by some good people, and they often also In all major cities, they have a higher social status than soul masters of the same level.
In front of these professional soul awakening masters of the Ling family, there were children who came to awaken their martial souls. Most of them were discussing in low voices the upcoming martial soul awakening ceremony.
Around them, there were some guards wearing ice-blue armor with a long sword printed on the breastplate to maintain order among the children. These are the soldiers of the city protection battalion of the Jibing Army. Their main job is to maintain order on various occasions in Jibing City and patrol the city to protect the people.
According to Ling Bingtian's understanding, in the previous life, these people's duties were police officers, responsible for maintaining public order in the city and protecting the people in the city.
Under the command of these soldiers from the city guard camp, although the children were discussing in low voices, they stood neatly in four square formations, waiting for the martial soul awakening ceremony to begin.
A few hundred meters away from the square formation of the four children, many Jibingcheng people wearing linen or silk clothes stood and watched. Some of them were the parents of the children who had awakened martial spirits, but more of them, In fact, they were residents from the inner city who came to join in the fun.
When it comes to joining in the fun, both the people in the country where Ling Bingtian lived in his previous life and the people in Douluo Continent are actually the same. This kind of thing is deeply rooted in everyone's bones.
However, these ordinary Jibing City people were stopped by the Jibing soldiers who came to maintain order and formed a large circle of spectators. Some people from Jibingcheng didn't like the people in front of them blocking the way, so they climbed to the nearby trees to look far away.
The soldiers who were stationed in the city defense camp would definitely pull them into the camp to greet them about destroying flowers, plants and trees, but on special days like the Wuhun Awakening Day, they would just turn a blind eye. .
In the circle surrounded by Jibing soldiers, apart from the children forming four square formations, there was another place worth noting. Most of the people standing there were wearing high-end costumes and were communicating in low voices with the people standing with them. Judging from the various patterns embroidered on their gorgeous clothes, it is not difficult to see that these people are actually the real nobles in Jibing City!
"Your kid will also wake up today. How is it? Do you have any confidence?" A strong middle-aged man in black clothes with a fiery red bear head embroidered on his chest said to the man next to him in ice blue clothes. Asked the tall, thin middle-aged man who was dressed in colorful clothes and had a white flying swallow pattern embroidered on his chest, but his figure was obviously several times thinner than the strong middle-aged man.
Just from his trembling hands and the trembling voice mixed with his words, it is not difficult to tell that he is extremely nervous.
"What's the use of having confidence? Did you know about the awakening of the martial spirit on the first day? It all depends on luck! I can only hope that my boy can awaken under Lord Lingjue's hand and have some influence from Lord Lingjue's divine favor. Qi." The tall, thin middle-aged man replied angrily when he heard the strong middle-aged man's question. In comparison, the tall, thin middle-aged man looked much more relaxed than the strong middle-aged man.
But his words are very reasonable. Although in Douluo Continent, the children of soul masters generally inherit the martial souls of the best lineage between their parents, there is still the possibility of a bad awakening.
According to rumors, a certain big shot in the mainland ten thousand years ago was also the son of a high-level soul master, but in the end it seemed that he had been practicing all his life but never broke through to the soul king realm.
Therefore, the status of professional martial soul awakening masters is relatively high. No matter they are soul masters or ordinary people, they will not want their children to awaken a better martial soul. In this world of metaphysics, most people in Douluo Continent believe that there are some things that cannot be believed.
The Ling Jue mentioned by the tall and thin man was actually the most lofty professional soul awakening master in the Ling family. In their lifetime, the martial souls awakened by the children of those nobles, the worst ones are also martial souls with soul power and the ability to practice.
Even among ordinary children, the probability of awakening martial souls with soul power for those children is nearly 3%. Don't underestimate this number. 3% seems to be a very small number, but this number is also beyond the reach of other awakened masters.
"Hey, I'm still a little nervous. If my daughter doesn't awaken a good martial spirit, how will she live in the future..." The strong middle-aged man sighed. It's not like he didn't know the cruelty of awakening a martial spirit. After all, in this world, the quality of the martial soul's awakening is enough to determine a person's fate in this life.
But as a daughter slave, he naturally does not want to see his good daughter awakening a bad martial spirit and then crying, let alone her future will be gloomy if she awakens a bad martial spirit.
"Oh, don't mention it, just wait. I also heard that today is also the day when the eldest young master of the Ling family awakens. I'm afraid he will also show up today." The tall, thin middle-aged man who was also worried about his son also sighed helplessly. Now I can finally understand what my father was thinking when he was waiting for me here.
But as the tall, thin, middle-aged man said just now, there is no point in worrying. It is better to focus on other interesting things.
For example, this year the eldest son of the Ling family has reached the age of martial soul awakening. According to the Ling family rules, he will undoubtedly come to the scene to awaken the martial spirit.
Speaking of this new generation eldest son of the Ling family, he is really considered a celebrity in Jibing City. Although he is only six years old this year, his reputation as a child prodigy has been widely circulated within Jibing City as early as two years ago.
According to rumors, the eldest son of the Ling family is different from other children who are able to walk around in all directions. He could already walk when other children were still crawling, he could already speak some simple words when other children were toddlers, and later, when other children had just learned to speak some simple words. At that time, he was already browsing the huge sea of books in the Ling family's study room.
If this were the case, the people of Jibing City would not be surprised. In the tens of thousands of years of Douluo Continent's history, such precocious children have not never appeared.
But what really makes this young master famous are the things he did, which proved that he is not the kind of nerd who only reads books and studies, but he is also a real genius who can draw inferences from one example!
Two years ago, when the eldest son was 4 years old, he deduced a group of people who had been hiding for a long time through the knowledge he learned from the military books he read and the content of several Jibing Army executives chatting next to his father at that time. He found the approximate location of the bandit and then told his inference to several seniors present at the time.
At first, several Jibingjun executives and Ling's father regarded the young man's remarks as nothing more than a joke. But in the end Ling's father still sent a scout from the army to search. He originally wanted to use this example to hammer his son, who was precocious and called a genius by the clan, after the search failed.
But he never thought that the scout actually found some clues about the bandits in that area. Following these clues, the Jibing Army finally found the bandits in a cave deep in the mountains and old forests and annihilated them. Got them!
Later, when the heads of the gangsters were cut off and paraded through the streets, everyone in Jibing City was praising the wisdom of the eldest young master of the Ling family and lamenting the birth of a child prodigy.
At this time, the reputation of the eldest young master of the Ling family was completely established within Jibing City, and his name as a child prodigy was also officially established.
But precisely because of this, the Ling family also raised the protection level of the eldest young master of the Ling family to the highest level to prevent some people who were jealous of the Ling family or those with special needs from having some evil thoughts towards him.
Although the reputation of the Ling family is considered very good in the entire Tianhun Empire, these people may come from anywhere, such as fellow bandits who were killed by Jibing City, nobles in the interior who are jealous of the status of the Ling family, and people in the soul. The notorious evil soul master in the division world.
Needless to mention the first two, the most typical example among evil soul masters is Blood Infant Douluo!
When the Blood Infant Douluo conquered the continent, tens of thousands of babies were slaughtered, many of whom were the descendants of soul masters!
It may be because the more powerful the soul masters are, the more powerful their children will be in improving the Blood Infant Douluo. Therefore, in order to obtain more descendants of soul masters, he may also have wanted to take revenge on the superior nobles on the continent. Sir, he has slaughtered many soul master families, and many powerful martial souls have even been killed to extinction by him alone!
It was also starting from the Blood Infant Douluo that the major forces on the continent greatly increased their intensity in attacking evil soul masters, just to prevent the next Blood Infant Douluo from appearing!
The special needs of these evil soul masters also made the Ling family wary. Who knows if there might be a high-level evil soul master whose special needs are precocious children like the eldest master of the Ling family? The Ling family also had to guard against it.
If it hadn't been for the ancestral training, the tall, thin middle-aged man felt that the senior officials of the Ling family might not have allowed the eldest young master of the Ling family to go to the central square to participate in the martial arts awakening ceremony.
"Yes, I have always heard about the name of the eldest young master of the Ling family, but there are really very few people who have seen him. The reason why all these people in the inner city who usually don't come here today is probably because they want to see the Ling family. This is the true face of the young master." The strong middle-aged man heard the words of the tall and thin middle-aged man and couldn't help but echoed.
Although some nobles from the inner city came to the martial soul awakening ceremony in previous years, there were not so many. The reason why so many people are here now is not because the eldest young master of the Ling family, who has been hidden for a long time by the Ling family, will appear today. On the one hand, these people want to see this eldest young master of the Ling family who has never seen the dragon, but on the other hand, they must I also wanted to see if there was a chance to make some friends.
After all, as long as the eldest young master of the Ling family awakens the normal Cold Soul Chain Dragon Spear martial spirit, it is almost certain that he will become the new Duke of Jibing in the future. Now that they have the opportunity to leave a good impression on him when he is young, these gangsters will certainly not miss this opportunity, the strong middle-aged man secretly said with disdain.
Of course, he would not admit that he had similar thoughts...
"Stop talking, look, Wildebeest. That's the Ling family's carriage. The eldest young master of the Ling family should have arrived." The tall and thin middle-aged man did not answer the strong middle-aged man's words. Instead, he cast his gaze into the distance and placed himself on a carriage. On the carriage that has stopped.
The gun-shaped emblem on the carriage is the clan emblem of the Jibing Duke's Palace.
Just when the strong middle-aged man looked over with him following the tall and thin middle-aged man's words, he happened to see the curtain of the carriage being opened by the groom on the carriage, and a young man dressed in luxurious clothes and full of nobility walked out.
The moment the young man stepped out of the carriage, everyone in the square fell silent.
One is because he respects the Jibing Duke family he represents, and the other is because of his handsome appearance that can already be seen in the future!
Although the young man looks a little chubby due to his age limit, anyone who looks at it will know how handsome the young man will be when he spreads his arms.
The young man did not stop, and slowly stepped out of the carriage along the horse bench that the groom had already placed. Every move he made showed the nobility of the Duke's family.
Just when everyone was quiet and had not yet recovered, a sudden change occurred!
A thin figure standing in the outer circle suddenly rose up and rushed towards the young man. At the same time, a thick mist of blood spread from his body.
"Jie Jie Jie..." Weird laughter came from the depths of the blood mist, making people shudder.
"Here he comes." Unknown to him, the young man who stepped off the carriage not far away looked at the thin figure with a calm gaze and thought to himself.
PS: Blood Infant Douluo original text introduction: There once appeared a Douluo-level evil soul master named "Blood Infant" on the Douluo Continent. He didn't awaken his martial spirit until he was eighteen years old. After awakening his martial spirit, he had to suck the brains of babies and devour the hearts of babies in order to practice. Twenty years later, he became a powerful person at the level of Titled Douluo. More than a dozen teachers and classmates from Shrek Academy died at his hands. In the end, it was the Shrek Supervisory Team who personally took action and searched for him for five years before eradicating him.
