At the center of the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, the awakening array paved with top-grade starry sky meteorite crystal radiated a faint blue glow.
Little Yun Tian walked into the center of the array on his short legs. A six-year-old child was bound to feel a little nervous at a moment that would decide his future. He stopped and turned to look at Tang Linyuan and his parents, who stood outside the array.
Tang Linyuan tipped his chin at him, his eyes full of encouragement. Yun Ming stood with his arms folded. Although he deliberately kept a stern face, his slightly taut jaw betrayed how much he cared. Ya Li clasped her hands before her chest and offered him an utterly gentle, reassuring smile.
Under their gazes, Little Yun Tian drew a deep breath. A resolve far beyond that of other children his age surged through his small body, and he planted himself firmly at the heart of the array.
Ordinarily, martial soul awakening required a Soul Master to expend soul power to guide the process. But before this array constructed from the finest resources, none of that was necessary.
The instant Little Yun Tian took his place.
Without any outside intervention, the starry sky meteorite crystal beneath the array lit up on its own. Like dry riverbeds receiving fresh flowing water, the intricate array patterns illuminated layer by layer.
In an instant, golden motes rose like fireflies from all around the array, enveloping Little Yun Tian completely. Carrying the purest heaven and earth essence, they flooded madly into his young body through his nose, mouth, and pores.
Little Yun Tian squeezed his eyes shut, his brows knitting slightly.
Soon, his right arm began to tremble violently, as though some peerless, ferocious creature was about to burst out of his body.
