As Yang Wudi initiated the Spirit Awakening Ceremony, the golden curtain of light appeared once again.
Warm and comfortable—this was Yun Ming's first sensation, as if his entire being were bathing in sunlight. Shortly after, Yun Ming felt a "click" resonate from within his body, as if something had shattered, and all the Golden Light Dots immediately swarmed into his right palm.
A flash of astonishment crossed Yang Wudi's eyes, while the few elders present were instantly ecstatic, for the number of Golden Light Dots appearing within the golden barrier this time was exceptionally high—fully three times that of the person who had awakened the Soul Breaking Spear spirit earlier. In the Spirit Awakening Ceremony, the quantity of Golden Light Dots was directly proportional to the quality of the spirit. One had to realize that the Soul Breaking Spear was already among the top-tier Weapon Spirits in the entire Soul Master World, not much inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect. Now that Yun Ming's spirit had drawn forth such a quantity of light, how formidable must this awakened spirit be?!!
In the blink of an eye, a vaguely spear-shaped spirit appeared in Yun Ming's right hand. Even though this spirit had not yet fully manifested and was merely a blurred form, Yang Wudi and the other Soul Breaking Spear owners present felt their own spirits tremble. This was the reaction of a lower-tier spirit when facing a superior one. Although they had never experienced this before, the instinct originating from their spirits conveyed this fact to them with absolute clarity!
Just as Yang Wudi and the others from the Breaking Clan were struck with awe by Yun Ming's spirit, Yun Ming's consciousness fell into a doomsday-like scenario.
The sky was split in two by purple and green, rendered into two distinct, sharply divided heavens, which in turn dyed the earth below in their respective colors. What was terrifying was that wherever the green and purple colors passed, all things vanished, and everything returned to the Void, as if the world were on the verge of destruction.
Just as everything was about to end, Yun Ming felt "himself" move uncontrollably—no, it should be said that the body he was currently inhabiting moved, for this tall, strong body clad in golden armor like a god of war was clearly not his own. He saw this golden figure raise the long spear in its hand, which had the characters "Atlas" vaguely inscribed upon it, with incandescent flames flickering on its sharp edge. The golden light across its entire body erupted instantly, rising to the heavens to stand in opposition to the green and purple colors in the sky.
"Atlas, Sun Shooting!"
Yun Ming heard the golden figure let out a majestic, thunderous shout, and then there was nothing more. The scene vanished, the entire world plunged into darkness, and in his final vision, Yun Ming saw what appeared to be a streak of golden light drilling into his own body.
Yun Ming's consciousness returned, and he felt a weight in his hand. Looking down, he saw a spear that radiated an incandescent glow throughout, its shaft appearing almost transparent. It had a spearhead on only one end, but the blade was exceptionally long, occupying nearly a third of the spear's length, with flames flickering on its edge. On the shaft, where it connected to the blade, the archaic characters "Atlas" were inscribed. Most importantly, it was identical to the spear he had seen in the doomsday vision.
Yang Wudi had also regained his composure by now. Seeing Yun Ming staring at his spirit in deep thought, he spoke up.
"Ming Er?"
Yang Wudi's voice also roused the others.
Yun Ming came to his senses and looked toward his grandfather.
"It's nothing, I just drifted off for a moment."
Hearing Yun Ming's reply, although Yang Wudi felt something was slightly off, he did not press further; as long as Yun Ming was fine, that was enough.
The spirit had been awakened, and the next step was to test the Innate Soul Power. Yang Wudi placed the Soul Power Test Crystal in front of Yun Ming.
"Ming Er, go ahead!" Having set aside his worries, Yang Wudi was now very curious about Yun Ming's Innate Soul Power, and the other members of the Yang Family present were equally eager to see.
Yun Ming's expression remained unchanged. With a thought, he retracted the long spear—the entire process was incredibly smooth, as if it were instinct. Then, just like the two people before him, he placed his hand on the blue crystal. The moment his palm touched it, Yun Ming felt a massive suction force coming from the blue crystal, followed by the sensation of a cold current within his body surging into the crystal before him. Instantly, the crystal shone brilliantly, making the sphere look like a sparkling gemstone; this light was far more dazzling than that of Yang Lin earlier.
"Innate Full Soul Power? It's Innate Full Soul Power!"
The few elderly members of the Yang Family nearby shouted out in disbelief. Although they had boldly guessed that Yun Ming might awaken with Innate Full Soul Power when his spirit first manifested, now that it had truly happened before their eyes, the elders could not contain their excitement.
One of the elders was even moved to tears, repeatedly crying out.
"The gods have blessed us!"
"Heaven protects the Breaking Clan!"
Yang Wudi was also ecstatic; even his cold face could not help but break into a smile. However, upon remembering the vow Yun Ming had made earlier, and thinking of the Martial Soul Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, he suppressed the joy in his heart, composed his expression, and gave a solemn order to everyone present.
"Today! Regarding everything about Yun Ming's spirit, no one is permitted to leak a word!"
"Otherwise."
"Clan rules will be enforced!" At this point, Yang Wudi released his pressure as a Soul Douluo, showing everyone how serious he was about this command.
The others present immediately bowed and acknowledged the order.
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
Yang Wudi scanned the room, confirming that everyone understood the gravity of the situation, before withdrawing his pressure and speaking to them.
"Today's Spirit Awakening Ceremony is concluded!"
"Everyone, you may withdraw!"
The crowd received the order, bowed, and retreated, leaving only Yang Wudi and his grandson, Yun Ming, in the Ancestral Hall.
Seeing that his clansmen had left, Yang Wudi asked Yun Ming to summon his spirit again.
"Ming Er, summon your spirit!"
Hearing Yang Wudi's slightly excited tone, Yun Ming summoned his spirit once more. The transparent, archaic long spear reappeared in Yun Ming's hand, though this time, the incandescent flames that had shrouded the spearhead were gone.
Yang Wudi did not feel the fear of the Soul Breaking Spear this time, but he was certain this was because Yun Ming's spirit had retracted its might. He carefully examined the long spear in Yun Ming's hand, noting its completely different appearance from the Soul Breaking Spear, and spoke.
"It seems your spirit is a mutated spirit! Does it have any special characteristics?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Ming carefully sensed his spirit, and after a long while, he responded.
"Aside from being more sensitive to the surrounding space, there seems to be another characteristic that I cannot use yet."
Yang Wudi pondered for a moment, then spoke calmly.
"Is that so?"
"That is fine! Since you can sense the power, as your strength increases in the future, you will eventually be able to master it."
Hearing his grandfather's words, Yun Ming nodded and looked at the long spear in his hand. Thinking of the doomsday scene he had just witnessed and the conflicts he would have to face in the future, he whispered to himself.
"Atlas, I'll be counting on you from now on!"
