Chapter 18: Train Crew’s Martial Spirit Awakening
Stellar Train.
Pamu was the first to welcome back the four, and said very generously to them: “Passengers are back. From now on, you can directly use the Realm Anchor to return to the train. The train’s energy is now very abundant, no need to save it like before, Pam.”
“Really? Then we’ll return to the train to rest every night and teleport away again at dawn.” March 7th teased Pamu.
“No way! Even if energy is abundant, you can’t waste it like that, Pam!” Pamu immediately regretted his earlier generosity.
Himeko poured a cup of coffee for each of the four, somewhat surprised: “How did you get back so quickly? Was there some unexpected gain?”
Meng Huaifeng picked up the coffee and curiously sniffed it; it had a very rich aroma and seemed pretty good.
But seeing the other three sitting upright as if they hadn’t noticed the coffee, Meng Huaifeng ultimately didn’t dare to try it.
“Sister Himeko, doesn’t this world have a strange Martial Spirit Cultivation System? We successfully awakened our Martial Spirits too. We came back to awaken Martial Spirits for you and Uncle Yang.” March 7th, unable to contain herself, said proudly.
“Oh, so that’s it. It’s rare for Little March to think of Welt and me.” Himeko smiled happily.
“What do you mean? When have I not thought of everyone?” March 7th pouted.
March 7th took out six Awakening Stones and placed them in the center of the train car according to the operation manual’s instructions.
“Hurry, hurry, Sister Himeko, Uncle Yang, who wants to go first?” March 7th said impatiently.
“I’ll go first.” Himeko glanced at Welt and walked to the center of the awakening array.
March 7th summoned her Martial Spirit and channeled Imaginary Energy into the six Awakening Stones through her Martial Spirit.
Awakening a Martial Spirit takes a few minutes. While waiting, Meng Huaifeng summoned his Mobile Phone Martial Spirit and input energy into it.
As more energy was input, a Soul Ring rose from under Meng Huaifeng’s feet, quickly changing from white to yellow.
When the Soul Ring appeared, Meng Huaifeng felt as if two energy interfaces had emerged in his Martial Spirit: one to continue improving the Martial Spirit’s strength, the other to improve the Soul Ring’s Age.
Meng Huaifeng temporarily stopped improving the Soul Ring’s Age and continued to improve his Martial Spirit’s strength.
Soon, the Martial Spirit’s strength reached its limit again and stopped enhancing. After continuously inputting a large amount of energy, a second Soul Ring rose from under Meng Huaifeng’s feet, and the upper limit of his Martial Spirit’s strength was broken once more.
This repeated eight times, surrounded by eight yellow Soul Rings. All the Imaginary Energy Meng Huaifeng could mobilize had been input into his Martial Spirit.
Meng Huaifeng tried to recover the energy from his Martial Spirit. The eighth Soul Ring quietly shattered, and upon re-inputting, it reformed.
This Martial Spirit felt like a companion magic treasure. This thought emerged in Meng Huaifeng’s mind.
Beast Martial Spirits could also be seen as a type of amplification magic treasure. Substituting a Martial Spirit for a magic treasure felt seamless, like a growable magic treasure that could become stronger along with its owner.
Seeing Meng Huaifeng’s operation, Xing also awakened her Martial Spirit. Golden light emanated from her chest, and Soul Rings rapidly rose under her feet.
Ultimately, Xing was surrounded by nine blood-red Soul Rings, making Meng Huaifeng extremely envious.
All his energy was only equivalent to a Soul Douluo level, with no excess to improve the Soul Ring configuration.
Ignoring Xing’s smug look at him, Meng Huaifeng began to comprehend the Soul Ring’s Skill information.
Soon, Himeko successfully awakened her Martial Spirit: a cup of coffee, a Food Martial Spirit. Himeko’s expression seemed reasonably satisfied.
Next was Welt.
Whether because of Welt’s greater strength or his origin as the Law of Reason, Welt found that he could freely control the changes in the energy forming his Martial Spirit!
Old Yang had a flash of inspiration and shaped a huge Robot Martial Spirit for himself!
Dream realized, so happy!
After Welt awakened his Martial Spirit, March 7th didn’t stop and directly carried Pamu to the center of the array.
“Huh? Can I awaken a Martial Spirit too, Pam?” Pamu said somewhat nervously.
No one knew Pamu’s origin; it was only speculated that he was a manifestation of Destiny, the Stellar Train’s artifact spirit.
“You’ll know if you try, right?” March 7th, as always, acted first and thought later, directly starting the awakening.
Meng Huaifeng rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
This world’s Rules were biased toward humans; only humans, or at least those who transformed into humans, could awaken Martial Spirits.
Regardless of what Pamu was, he definitely wasn’t human, so Meng Huaifeng thought it was unlikely.
As Meng Huaifeng expected, after a few minutes, the golden light dissipated, and Pamu had not awakened a Martial Spirit.
Though a bit disappointed, it was within everyone’s expectations.
Thus, everyone in the train crew had awakened Martial Spirits.
March 7th: Martial Spirit Six Phases Ice. Slight increase in ice control ability, slight increase in casting speed, plus nine Soul Skills. She could probably switch to an ice mage.
Xing: Martial Spirit Heart of Destruction. Slight increase in physical strength, each Attack additionally infuses Destruction Power.
Meng Huaifeng: Martial Spirit Mobile Phone. Powerful support abilities; it seemed he was destined to be the train crew’s logistics expert.
Dan Heng: Martial Spirit Azure Dragon. Aside from regaining Dragon Transformation ability, it provided basically no improvement to his strength.
Himeko: Martial Spirit Coffee. Hmm, the biggest use might be that the train crew finally wouldn’t suffer from Himeko’s hand-ground Coffee anymore!
Welt: Martial Spirit Giant Mecha. Could only say, dream fulfilled, no improvement to strength.
In the short few minutes Welt awakened his Martial Spirit, Himeko had already figured out her Martial Spirit’s uses.
No need to manifest Soul Rings or chant spells; seven cups of coffee appeared on the coffee table.
“Refreshing coffee, please try it everyone.” Himeko looked at everyone expectantly.
The others were still hesitant, but Meng Huaifeng had already picked up a cup and taken a small sip.
The temperature was perfect. Meng Huaifeng drank it all in one gulp. It was extremely smooth upon entering, with an incomparably rich aroma. At the same time, a mint-like coolness rushed straight to his brain. Meng Huaifeng instantly felt his spirit invigorated, and his thinking speed had increased several times.
If he’d had this back in school, wouldn’t he have gotten full marks in every subject?
No! Why did he only encounter such a divine item after graduating?
“Great taste, powerful effect!” Meng Huaifeng gave Himeko a thumbs up.
It was rare for someone to sincerely praise the taste of her coffee, so Himeko was in a great mood, and her favorable impression of Meng Huaifeng soared.
Seeing that Meng Huaifeng was truly fine, the others all drank the coffee.
After tasting it, Himeko’s eyes sparkled. Now, the research speed on Wormhole Stabilization Technology could also be greatly increased.
“Dan Heng, everyone else is getting familiar with their Martial Spirits. Why aren’t you?” Welt summoned his Mecha Martial Spirit, modifying the unsatisfactory parts while curiously asking the somewhat out-of-place Dan Heng.
“I…” Dan Heng’s expression was still conflicted.
“Dan Heng’s Martial Spirit is a blue dragon, but Dan Heng doesn’t seem happy about awakening it.” March 7th glanced at Dan Heng, her tone carrying some concern.
Thanks for everyone’s recommendation votes, love you!
