This scorching radiance could only be emitted by those powerful martial spirits.

Under the stimulation of this light alone, Deacon Liu felt as if his body were being plunged into a raging inferno.

Not to mention the others in the room; they had long since been unable to keep their eyes open.

After a long while, the dazzling light finally faded once Han Xing completed his awakening.

"This is... a top-tier beast martial spirit, the Golden Crow?"

Deacon Liu looked at the golden divine bird in Han Xing's hand, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"No, that's not right. This isn't an ordinary Golden Crow."

"An ordinary Golden Crow shouldn't produce such a terrifying phenomenon."

Deacon Liu scrutinized it repeatedly, finally noticing the difference in the Golden Crow held by Han Xing.

"Three claws... could this be a Three-Legged Golden Crow?"

Deacon Liu widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there were only two extra characters between "Three-Legged Golden Crow" and "Golden Crow."

But those two characters made all the difference in the world.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow was an ancient divine beast, while the Golden Crow was merely a variant possessing a fraction of the Three-Legged Golden Crow's bloodline.

Yet, even with only a partial bloodline, the Golden Crow remained a top-tier beast martial spirit on this continent.

"Child, quick, come over here to awaken your spirit power."

"With such a powerful martial spirit, your innate spirit power will surely be exceptional."

Deacon Liu hurriedly pulled Han Xing over, bringing him near the spirit power awakening crystal ball.

As Han Xing reached out to touch the crystal ball, the entire room was suddenly flooded with a dazzling white light.

This was clearly a sign of innate full spirit power.

However, Han Xing appeared quite calm regarding this.

It wasn't that he was indifferent, but rather that he had long anticipated his own martial spirit and spirit power.

"Child, you are the legendary one-in-ten-thousand innate full spirit power, and you possess a top-tier beast martial spirit."

Deacon Liu said in a tone used to coax a child, "Come with me; we are going to see the Grand Deacon. We will obtain your first spirit ring then."

Although Han Xing felt a bit helpless about this, he followed the other man.

The two soon arrived at the Deacon Hall, where an old man who looked to be over seventy was standing inside, examining a map in his hands.

Hearing the commotion, the old man looked up toward Han Xing and the deacon.

"Yunxiao, you're a grown man, why are you still so reckless?" the old man frowned.

"Have the children from the orphanage finished their awakening? It looks like this child has awakened spirit power."

"What is his innate spirit power level? What is his martial spirit?"

Hearing the old man's inquiry, Deacon Liu hurriedly replied, "Grand Deacon, this is Han Xing. His martial spirit is the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and he has innate full spirit power."

"He is a child from our Nuoding City orphanage. I saw that his talent was too great, so I brought him to see you."

"A top-tier beast martial spirit, and innate full spirit power?" A sharp light flashed in the old man's eyes.

"Child, quick, release your martial spirit and let me see."

Han Xing complied and summoned his martial spirit.

When the old man saw the appearance of the Three-Legged Golden Crow clearly, a look of great joy immediately appeared on his face.

"It really is a Three-Legged Golden Crow. Yunxiao, you have performed a great service."

"Yunxiao dares not claim credit; it is all thanks to the Grand Deacon's guidance, and more importantly, the cultivation provided by the orphanage," Liu Yunxiao shook his head and said.

"Hmm, humble and steady, very good," the old man nodded with satisfaction.

"The orphanage has indeed performed a great service this time. Double their supplies in the future."

After saying this, the old man looked at Han Xing again, revealing a kind smile.

"Child, my name is He Yuan. You can just call me Grandpa He; there is no need to be nervous."

"Since you grew up in our Spirit Hall, have you ever thought about seeing Spirit City?"

"If you wish, we can send you to the most prosperous Spirit City, where you can receive the best education."

Han Xing shook his head and said, "I don't want to leave Nuoding City."

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing this, He Yuan could not help but frown.

If it were just an ordinary genius, he would have simply taken them to Spirit City.

But for a top-tier genius like this, causing him any dissatisfaction toward the Spirit Hall would be a grave mistake.

Especially for these children from the orphanage, who had lacked parental care since childhood; they could not be forced.

"How about we go to Notting Academy to study first, and then head to Spirit Academy after we graduate?" He Yuan suggested, shifting his approach.

In the early stages of a spirit master's growth, the external environment does not have a significant impact on them.

At this stage, even at Spirit Academy, the primary focus is teaching knowledge related to spirit masters and spirit beasts.

"That works." Han Xing nodded.

His goal was to stay in Nuoding City first, make an appearance in the plot, and accumulate some popularity.

He Yuan's proposal perfectly satisfied his requirements.

"Very well. Since that's the case, I will arrange a spot for you to attend Notting Academy immediately," the old man smiled.

"However, before going to the academy, we have something even more important to do."

Under Han Xing's puzzled gaze, He Yuan quickly provided the answer.

"Tomorrow, the Bishop and I will take you to the Hunting Forest to obtain your first spirit ring."

"Only after obtaining your first spirit ring can you become a true spirit master."

Hearing this, Han Xing's eyes lit up.

Although Douluo Continent was only a low-fantasy world, for someone who had lived in a normal world for over a decade, anything related to the extraordinary was full of appeal, whether it was low-fantasy or high-fantasy.

Under He Yuan's arrangements, Han Xing soon moved out of the orphanage and had his own dormitory within Spirit Hall.

With Liu Yunxiao's help, Han Xing quickly finished tidying up his room.

Early the next morning.

He Yuan brought a Purple-robed Bishop—the head of the Nuoding City Spirit Hall branch—to wake Han Xing up.

"Child, your martial spirit is the ancient divine beast, the Three-Legged Golden Crow."

"The Bishop and I have already studied it, and the spirit beasts most compatible with you are fire-type or light-type."

"On the way to the Hunting Forest, you must remember to stay close to us and never get lost, do you understand?"

Along the way, He Yuan continuously instructed Han Xing.

"Alright, I understand, Grandpa He."

Han Xing nodded, listening earnestly to their teachings.

Accompanied by a Purple-robed Bishop and a Yellow-robed Grand Deacon, obtaining the first spirit ring for Han Xing was naturally effortless, and no accidents occurred whatsoever.

After all, no matter how dangerous the spirit beasts in the Hunting Forest were, they were at most just over a thousand years old.

Spirit Hall's requirement for a Yellow-robed Grand Deacon's spirit power was level forty or above, so repelling a spirit beast just over a thousand years old was a simple task.

After spending two days, Han Xing quickly obtained his first spirit ring.

It came from a very rare spirit beast that was just over four hundred years old: the Crimson Dawn Fire-Feather Sparrow.

This spirit beast had a wingspan of about a meter, its entire body covered in golden-red plumage, with feathers carrying a faint halo and four flame patterns on its tail feathers.

Each additional pattern represented an extra hundred years of age.

The spirit skill Han Xing obtained was named: Dawn Light Fire Feather.

It could form a circle of light-fire wings around his body, which could fire a barrage of light-fire feathers forward for long-range attacks.

It could also keep the wings to protect himself, burning enemies who got close while blocking attacks.

It was a very powerful spirit skill, capable of both offense and defense.
