Chapter 1, The Young Genius
Although Lou Runshui's words were somewhat implicit, everyone in the room understood their meaning clearly, and a serious expression appeared on each face.
After everyone took their seats, Lou Runshui continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have all witnessed the events that transpired with Yun'er. I believe it can only be described as a miracle. Furthermore, any doubts you may have had regarding Yun'er's identity can now be cast aside. He is undoubtedly a genius and the hope for the future revitalization of our Lou family"
This time, Lou Runshui did not wait for Lou Yun to respond, and after a slight pause, began to explain: "The world we live in is called the Spirit Weapon Star, and the sole focus of our cultivation here is Spirit Weapons!"
Faced with the astonished, excited, or envious expressions of the crowd, Lou Yun's small face showed no particular reaction. Instead, she quietly stood up, walked to her father's side, and softly said: "Father, I would like to go out and play for a while"
Before Lou Yun could speak, the old man's palm had already swiftly pressed against Lou Yun's lower abdomen, and a radiant orb of orange light instantly illuminated the area
Luo Tianming's expression quickly shifted from surprise to ecstasy: "Stay right here, I will go call your grandfather and the elders of our clan!"
That night, the wind howled fiercely, and thunder rumbled ominously. The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, with leaden layers concealing a rolling crimson hue, resembling a bloodstain. The atmosphere was dim, and dazzling lightning darted across the sky, creating an extraordinarily eerie scene between heaven and earth
After speaking, Lou Tianming hurriedly left, and at that moment, the excitement within him was simply beyond description in any language
Indeed, have you all forgotten the extraordinary phenomena that occurred at the time of Yun'er’s birth
Lou Runshui paused slightly before speaking: "You have been intelligent since childhood and have read many books. Although you have not formally begun your cultivation, I believe you must understand quite a bit. Now, I will briefly explain to you what cultivation is. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at any time"
Look, this is Grandpa's spiritual weapon, the Fire Spirit Phoenix Axe! Currently, the level on hetushu.com is Intermediate Three-Star Spiritual Weapon
"Yun'er, your military spirit power has actually reached the tenth level?"
Indeed, this is not the most remarkable aspect. The most enviable and jealousy-inducing, as well as the most incomprehensible, is that without anyone ever teaching Lou Yun about cultivation, at the age of three, he began to autonomously absorb the spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth, condensing it within his dantian, and then transforming it into weapon spiritual power. In just three years, he has already reached the peak of the initial stage, achieving tenth-tier weapon spiritual power
Due to the terrifying anomaly at the time of Lou Yun's birth, many members of the Lou family considered Lou Yun to be a freak. However, there were also those who firmly believed that Lou Yun was not a freak, but rather a person who was unique and different from others
Spirit weapons are classified into different levels, which can be enhanced through cultivation. There are a total of 10 levels, and each level is further divided into 5 sub-levels, referred to as five stars
Luo Yun let out a cheer, smiling as he greeted everyone one by one: "Grandfather, Second Elder, Third Elder, esteemed elders, I am off to play!" After saying this, he skipped and hopped out of the training room
Lou Runshui did not attend to his third younger brother, but suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Moreover, there are still nine years until the next 'invasion', right? If Yun'er continues to cultivate at this pace, he may not be able to catch up by the time of the invasion in nine years. However, in twenty-four years, he might become the key to turning the tide for our Lou family!"
Although the time required to condense a spiritual weapon varies depending on individual circumstances, it generally falls between the ages of 12 and 16. Those who can condense a spiritual weapon before the age of 12 are almost all prodigies. Conversely, if one is unable to condense a spiritual weapon by the age of 16, it signifies that the individual has little prospect for the future
At this point, Lou Runshui spread his palm, and accompanied by a dazzling light, a silver gleaming axe, approximately one and a half meters long, had suddenly appeared in his hand
Lou Runshui then looked at his son and shifted the topic, saying: "Tianming, on the Star of Military Spirits, who is the earliest recorded individual to cultivate their military spirit power to the tenth level?"
However, what no one expected was that, although the light sphere came with great momentum, it seemed to be illusory, directly passing through the roof and falling into the room, while the roof remained intact, not even a single tile was shattered.
At the age of two, he could recognize characters; by three, he was able to read books independently, and he had an exceptional memory, able to draw inferences from one example to another. As of this year, he has already finished reading half of the collection in the Loufu Library, which amounts to nearly ten thousand volumes. What is even more astonishing is that his familiarity with these books has reached the point where he can recite them from memory.
While speaking, Lou Runshui's gaze seemed to unintentionally sweep across the face of his third brother, Lou Runhuo. This was because, among everyone, a group led by Lou Runhuo consistently believed that Lou Yun was an oddity who would bring disaster to the Lou family. In fact, he had even advocated for Lou Yun's death in the beginning
The subsequent growth process of Lou Yun gradually proved that he was not a freak; rather, he was a rare genius
There is nothing impossible; I have said long ago that Yun'er is not an ordinary person, and now the facts have proven that Yun'er is indeed a genius
Luo Yun has read an extensive number of books, many of which contain descriptions of cultivation. Therefore, although he has no idea what cultivation truly is up to this point, he has long harbored a yearning for it. Naturally, he would never have imagined that he has actually already begun his cultivation journey, and that both his speed and achievements are remarkable
Lou Runshui took a moment to compose himself, then waved his hand and said: "From now on, our only task as the Lou family is to spare no effort in helping Yun'er with her cultivation! Tianming, go and bring Yun'er back; I have something to discuss with her!"
Before everyone could recover from their shock, a loud cry of a baby echoed from within the room—Luo Yun has been born
As soon as this sentence was uttered, it caused the originally excited crowd to fall silent, and each person's mind involuntarily recalled the night six years ago when Lou Yun was born
It has now been proven that Lou Yun's genius seems to far exceed that of this four-star imperial-level spirit weapon master. In other words, Lou Yun's achievements in cultivation are highly likely to surpass Ao Wushen. Even if he cannot surpass him, he should at least be able to become an imperial-level spirit weapon master.
Suddenly, the dark sky split open in the middle, revealing a dark hole. Immediately, a sphere shimmering with nine-colored light rushed out of this opening, accompanied by a rumbling thunder as it fell towards the mansion.
Such a situation, not only within a single family but also throughout the entire Spirit Soldier Star, has never occurred before
On Lou Yun's small face, a clear expression of envy was evident
Luo Yun nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course!"
After a moment, a flurry of hurried footsteps approached the training room. Lou Yun quickly stood up, and the door swung open. A group of people rushed in, led by an elderly man with white eyebrows, Lou Runshui, the current clan leader of the Lou family and also Lou Yun's grandfather, who eagerly exclaimed: "Yun'er, I came to see!"
Lou Runshui smiled and said, "Grandpa just wants to ask you, do you want to cultivate?"
Although the sky looked frightening, the Lou family had no mood to pay attention to it. Therefore, at this moment, Lou Tianming's wife was about to give birth
As for the shape of the spiritual weapon, it is varied and peculiar, entirely formed according to the strength of each individual's spiritual power and will. Once a spiritual weapon takes shape, it merges with its master, becoming the most powerful weapon for each person. Therefore, the spiritual weapon is the sole criterion for determining whether a person is strong or not
Luo Yun nodded repeatedly, extremely excited
Aowu Shen, a four-star imperial-level spirit weapon master, is the strongest individual on the Spirit Weapon Star, regarded by hetushu.com as the rarest genius in the history of the Spirit Weapon Star
Lou Runshui smiled as he watched Lou Yun walk away, still unable to suppress the excitement within him, saying: "Since everyone is here, let us sit down and hold a family meeting now"
In the end, there was a noticeable tremor in Lou Runshui's voice, as he was simply too excited
Luo Tianming finally came to his senses, gently stroking Luo Yun's head. He thought to himself that no matter how talented his son was, he was still just a six-year-old child. With a smile, he nodded and said, "Good son, go play!"
Haha, really, truly, it is indeed the tenth level of soldier spirit power
Oh my, how is this possible? Throughout the history of the Spirit Warrior Star, it seems that there has never been anyone who could cultivate their Spirit Warrior Power to the tenth level at such a young age
The six-year-old Lou Yun wore a puzzled expression on his face as he looked at his father, Lou Tianming, who was staring at him in speechless confusion, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence
Lou Yun excitedly clenched his small fist and nodded vigorously. He was determined to quickly forge his own spiritual weapon
Regarding Lou Yun's response, Lou Runshui was certainly pleased and then said: "Yun'er, shall I teach you how to cultivate now?"
Once a spiritual weapon is condensed within the body, that person officially becomes a spiritual weapon master
Because, it must be known that throughout the history of the Spirit Soldier Star, there has never been a report of anyone being able to cultivate their Spirit Soldier Power to the tenth level at the age of six!
The blade of this axe resembles a phoenix poised to take flight, adorned with three stars on its edge, which appear remarkably striking
The so-called spiritual weapon is a blade formed within us after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, before the spiritual weapon is formed, one cultivates the weapon spirit power, which generally begins at the age of six. When the weapon spirit power reaches the tenth level, one can begin to attempt to condense the spiritual weapon
Lou Runhuo pretended not to notice his elder brother's gaze, lowering his head, yet his heart was filled with deep resentment. Originally, his grandson Lou Fei was regarded as the outstanding representative of the new generation of the Lou family and was seen as the ideal successor to the future head of the family. However, six years ago, with the birth of Lou Yun, all of this became impossible, and today's events further confirmed his initial concerns
If a family can produce an imperial-level spirit weapon master, then the status of that family will undoubtedly soar to great heights and rise rapidly
The sphere fell rapidly at a speed beyond the visible range, and the people in the building naturally noticed this unusual phenomenon. Although they wanted to intervene, they were simply unable to react in time and could only watch helplessly as the sphere descended into the room of Lou Tianming's wife, who was in labor.
Lou Runshui said with a smile: "There is no need to envy me. I believe that in the future, Yun'er’s spiritual weapon will surely be a thousand times better than this one of grandpa's! Yun'er, grandpa is very much looking forward to seeing you condense your very own spiritual weapon as soon as possible!"
Luo Tianming replied: "It is the four-star imperial-level spirit weapon master, Ao Wushen! At the age of nine, his spirit weapon power reached the tenth level, and by the age of twelve, he had condensed a spirit weapon!"
Lou Runshui nodded slightly, his authoritative gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone present: "Did you hear that? Even the current number one expert of the Spirit Soldier Star, Ao Wushen, only cultivated his Spirit Soldier Power to the tenth level at the age of nine. Yet Yun'er, at just six years old, has already reached the tenth level of Spirit Soldier Power. Even if he has three more years, he will only be able to condense a spirit weapon at the age of nine. I believe you all understand what this implies."
Luo Runshui's words instantly moved the faces of everyone else in the room, revealing a variety of expressions; some were shocked, others were envious, and after a brief silence, almost everyone began to discuss simultaneously
Lou Yun, who was brought back to the training room, sat in front of the beaming Lou Runshui and asked in confusion, "Grandfather, what do you need me for?"
The Imperial-level Spirit Weapon Master is an existence of utmost supremacy on the Spirit Weapon Star, an absolute powerhouse, and the goal that all inhabitants of the Spirit Weapon Star strive for and dedicate their lives to achieve
