Chapter 1 - The Eve of Awakening

"Blue Star,Ironfold City, Experimental High School Training ground"

"I still haven't Awakened My Martial Spirit. My Cultivation speed is too slow"

Klaus looked at his body,his eyes filled with disappointment and Frustration.

"In less than four months,the college entrance exam will begin. Forget about entering the top tier Martial Academy,I can't even make it to a Third rate martial dojo."

Klaus mumbled in self deprecation

The minimum requirements to join the top tier Martial Academy is one must at least have a 7th grade martial spirit.

Martial Spirit is an important asset to a martial art because all humanoid races can awaken a martial spirit.Martial Spirit is divided into different types and are graded into 12 grade but above 12 grade is the legendary 13 ,14 and 15 grade.

One in Ten Thousand can awaken a 11th grade martial spirit but only one in a million can awaken a 12th grade martial spirit, While those who could awaken 13th grade martial spirit are said to be peerless genius in their generation.

There are different types of Martial Spirit:There is the Elemental Martial Spirit, Beast Martial Spirit and Weapon Martial spirit.There are other rare and unique ones, Some can be wasteful while others are the best of the best.

But,not everyone can awaken a martial spirit, Martial Spirit usually depends on your bloodline or heritage.

After thinking of this Klaus' heart could not help but feel a bit better, knowing his dream is about to die before It even began.

"Farewell"

it seemed the dreaming of stand at the Top was coming to an end.

Now, I won't be able to slaughter the monstrous demon beast but even becoming a Awakening Realm martial artist is difficult.

Ironfold City was just a base city with a population of about 4 million pesos.

Due to the rampant monstrous beast and few high level martial artists, people formed base city like Ironfold, Blue star wasn't always like this,But

1,000 years ago,The Blue star experienced spiritual energy awakening, causing the land and spp0ea to expand continuously,But after the spiritual energy awakening came Spatial rifts and Terrifying demon beasts and Monstrosity descended on earth.

The Wild animals on landlands and in the ocean began to mutate and evolve into stronger beasts.beast ,They attack the humans around and slaughter cities.

Firearms,Missiles had almost no strength in killing this demon beast,Not until a group of Gifted individual who had awaken their martial spirit, Using their martial spirit they became to absorb spiritual energy and become martial artists, breaking through mortal limits.

The ranks of Martial artists are divided into Awakening Realm,Body Tempering,Spirit Fusion,Core Formation,Domain Master,

Heavenly Ascension.

It was said that a Core Formation martial artists can live for more than 1,000 years and kill without a trace.

With the help of all this martial artists, Humanity survived and created different base city around the world.

Klaus was desperate to become a martial artists because he admired his father who is High level martial artists and his mother who was of similar rank to his father,He also had a cute and adorable little sister as well.

Martial artists could receive a monthly allowance of 100,000, while Body Tempering master received more than that.

His parents usually went on hunting trips and earned a good income , Enough for his family to live fine.

However, Tragedy fall, Two years ago When a beast tide occured and breached through the Ironfold base city.

In the beast tide , A lot of lives were lost and his parents lives were among them.

While they received compensation from the base city, But the loss of their parents affected the two siblings lives.

He was 14 and going to be 15, Tomorrow will be when the Martial Spirit ceremony will take place.But Klaus wanted to awaken earlier because it was said that those who could awaken before 15 have a high chance of awaken a 7th grade martial spirit.

To excel in the future,He had spend money on buying beast essence and spirits cores absorbing them to cultivate his martial arts.

But he couldn't afford it since his sister was also developing and the money Left by their parents was running thin.

Initially,Him and his sister thought they could manage their previous way of life but their standard of living began to decline quickly,Due to the expenses exceeding what they can afford.

Now, That the Martial Spirit ceremony is tomorrow and the college entrance exam is in less than four months,He was nervous that he won't be able to get into an martial academy.

If he couldn't enter a martial academy and had no resources,he might never been someone in the future.

"No,I refuse to suffer like this!"

Klaus clenched his first and he repeatedly urged himself with great difficulty.

"I must not give up, Don't…think about it…

I must avenge father and mother "

If he couldn't awaken a 7th grade martial spirit,He would probably become a struggling bottom feeder, Trying to survive.

"Sigh!"

While walking on the streets outside of the school training grounds,He watched as different martial artists passed different their skill outside a dojo and the tall building that stood in the distance.

His figure blending with the setting sun's fading light,It appear extremely lonely and depressed.

As soon as he reached for his door handled,A voice came at the back of him.

"Big Bro, What took you so long,?.You must have gone to the training grounds, right?"The girl asked with worries in her eyes.

Klaus laughed helplessly knowing that he couldn't hide anything from his sister.

"Yes,Big Brother was just preparing for tomorrow martial spirit ceremony.in four months, I will definitely get into a Top Tier Martial Academy."

He looked away, Trying to speak with a guilty conscience.

"Talking about Martial arts ,This is the beast essence , you have been needing so badly,With your talent ,I believe your achievement won't be low."

He handed the beast essence to Rose.

Klaus forced a simile and said playfully.

Rose reached out to grab it but she stopped and gave Klaus a serious look, carefully observing his face.

"Wow,Brother,You are so bad at lying…You want to use this beast essence ,right?

Rose looked as if she had figured out something,Her eyes fixated on Klaus without blinking.

Without hesitation, Klaus said firmly "You smart girl, Even your big bro can't understimate you.Beside the beast essence is originally meant for you…"

"I know how our parents entrusted you in taking care of me but how can you protect me,if you are not strong enough?Rose eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.

Rose words hit Klaus like a dagger to the heart, causing his breath to quicken.

"Big Bro,I have think it through.You should be the one to use the beast essence,And if you awaken a strong martial spirit,your monthly allowance as a martial artists,You will be able to get me a better one , right?

She looked into Klaus eyes and spoke softly.

"Thank you"

After a while, Klaus said hoarsely,"Fine,Rose,I will give my all on tomorrow martial spirit ceremony, Whether I become a martial artists or not,I will get you another and a better beast essence for you."

Klaus didn't say more.

Rose nodded gently and went into her room

"Let's me use it now."

Klaus drank the beast essence

Instantly,He felt a rush of spiritual energy fill his entire being and carrying a scorching heat sensation,it seemed on the verge of exploding.

Klaus control this energy and was delighted with this.

He guided the energy around his body constantly cleansing his body and meridian while bearing the scorching heat within.

After guiding the spiritual energy,he performed series of movement and various impurities were constantly being expelled from his body.

After finishing the set of movement,his body calm down a little ,when the scorching heat had finally dissipated, Klaus felt a surge of energy.

His body was filled with endless energy,As if he could ran 20 laps.

His muscles also felt dense and his bones tougher,he believes that with this change the chance of him awakening a strong martial spirit his high.

"With this Klaus took a shower and went to bed to prepare for tomorrow martial spirit ceremony."

But before he could close his eyes he heard A cold, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
