I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 187 - 126: Martial Spirit Awakening, Zhu Jiuyin! (Part 2)

Chapter 187: Chapter 126: Martial Spirit Awakening, Zhu Jiuyin! (Part 2)

"Whether it’s his own value or the value in the Cultivation Realm... they’re much higher than a mere Martial Spirit!"

However...

Just as everyone was discussing, suddenly the sky above the Martial Arts Palace became turbulent with wind and clouds, dark clouds gathering.

In just a few breaths’ time, the sky turned dark!

Li Nian looked up out the window, puzzled:

"What’s going on? The weather forecast didn’t mention a solar eclipse today!"

He went to the window, poking his head out, feeling a bit confused.

At this moment, the entire Kyoto of Great Xia had turned completely dark!

It had just been noon, bright as day... and now stars were appearing in the sky, as if it were night!

"This is probably not as simple as a solar eclipse..."

Wang Lishan furrowed his brow slightly and dialed several numbers quickly.

A moment later, his expression was grim as he said:

"It’s not that Kyoto experienced a solar eclipse... the entire Great Xia Country, and even the entire Northern Hemisphere, has turned into night!"

Wang Lishan took a deep breath, his gaze pointing towards Lin Chen’s room.

Li Nian instantly understood, swallowed, and said:

"This change from day to night... could it be that kid awakening his Martial Spirit causing this?"

"This, how could it be possible..."

Elder Jiang and Elder Long beside him also had shocked expressions on their faces.

After a long silence, they said:

"Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know once Lin Chen comes out..."

The trembling in their voices showed that Elder Jiang and Elder Long were not calm.

Awakening a Martial Spirit, if powerful, can induce natural phenomena, altering the surrounding environment.

For instance, when Telekinesis Martial Spirit awakens, it might destroy an entire building.

The "Thousand-Mile Ice Seal" Martial Spirit, upon awakening, would cause snow to fall within a radius of ten miles...

But for an entire country or even the world to swap day and night like this, it’s unheard of!

Even Elder Jiang and the others weren’t sure if this was Lin Chen’s Martial Spirit awakening phenomenon.

...

Several hours later.

Lin Chen came out from the room, looking calm.

But the people who had been anxiously waiting for two days and a night were extremely tense, asking with trembling voices:

"Well, have you awakened your Martial Spirit?"

The expressionless Lin Chen smiled and nodded, saying:

"Awakened, it’s a Summoning Series Martial Spirit..."

"It claims to be called—Zhu Jiuyin!"

Upon hearing this name, the air suddenly grew quiet.

Wang Xinyu’s voice trembled as she asked:

"Wait, the Zhu Jiuyin you mentioned... is it that one I’m thinking of?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and nodded:

"If I’m not mistaken, it should be the one you’re all thinking of..."

Boom!

In an instant, Lin Chen felt several burning gazes.

Ancient records state:

Beyond the Northwest Sea, north of the Chishui River, lies Zhangwei Mountain.

There is a god, human-faced with a serpent body, scarlet, with straight eyes facing forth; when closed, it’s dark, when opened, it’s light, never eating or sleeping, its appearance is heralded by storms.

Zhu Jiuyin, another name—

Candle Dragon!

This passage means:

Zhu Jiuyin opens its eyes to bring daytime, closes them for night...

With a single breath, the seasons change to winter.

Inhaling and exhaling, the world shifts to summer again...

It exhales, and the land experiences gales, raging for a whole year...

...

Including Elder Jiang and Elder Long, all had heard the name of Zhu Jiuyin.

But among those who had researched these myths and ancient events most deeply, Wang Xinyu stood out.

Only Li Nian, looking like a fool, asked puzzled:

"Wait, this Zhu Jiuyin, is it a really powerful Martial Spirit?"

"How does it compare to my Telekinesis Martial Spirit?"

Everyone present fell silent.

Wang Lishan patted his shoulder, saying:

"Li, your Telekinesis Martial Spirit might have to retire... now everyone’s aligning with Artifact Control, and Telekinesis Martial Spirit is probably the most useless..."

Li Nian’s face turned beet red at that.

Unyielding, he asked again:

"Then how about compared to Elder Long’s True Dragon Martial Spirit?"

Elder Long scratched his neck at this, unsure how to explain, merely snorting, and giving him a slight glance.

Wang Xinyu then whispered:

"Li Nian, have you heard of the Golden-Winged Roc?"

"It’s known as a divine beast from the Ancient Times... thousands of years ago, the Human Race had a powerful figure who awakened this Martial Spirit."

"Legend states, the Great Roc bird feeds on True Dragons..."

"But in the ancient texts, the strength of the Roc ranks far behind Zhu Jiuyin..."

"Zhu Jiuyin is a god who commands space and time!"

At these words, Li Nian was stunned.

Space-Time Series Martial Spirit?

Could there really be such an existent Martial Spirit in this world?

"Wait a moment..."

Li Nian suddenly realized, asking:

"If Lin Chen’s Martial Spirit is Zhu Jiuyin... could his ability to traverse between two realms be related to his Martial Spirit?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lishan nodded in appreciation:

"Li, you’ve finally hit the key point, otherwise, I would’ve almost thought you were an idiot..."

Wang Lishan turned his gaze from Lin Chen to Elder Long and Elder Jiang, saying:

"We’re still not sure if Lin Chen’s crossing between worlds is related to the Zhu Jiuyin Martial Spirit..."

"However..."

Wang Lishan paused, saying:

"From the viewpoint of status and rank... Zhu Jiuyin should be, for the Human Race so far—the most powerful Martial Spirit!"

Yes, the most powerful!

Even though Lin Chen’s Martial Spirit abilities haven’t been witnessed yet.

But based on the ancient records, and the prior natural phenomenon...

It’s not hard to infer just how terrifying Zhu Jiuyin could be...

"So, Lin Chen... do you know what Martial Spirit abilities you have so far?"

Wang Lishan asked curiously.

When a Martial Spirit awakens, the possessor usually has a clear understanding of some of its abilities.

Lin Chen nodded slightly, saying:

"Zhu Jiuyin is indeed a Summoning Series Martial Spirit..."

"But unfortunately, I am currently unable to summon it fully, only able to temporarily borrow some of its power."

"For example, altering the surrounding temperature..."

As Lin Chen spoke, with a wave of his hand, dark clouds began to gather over the Martial Arts Palace within a hundred yards, and a light rain started falling.

Zhu Jiuyin not only governs space and time.

It also possesses the ability to change the climate...

After showcasing some of his abilities, Lin Chen continued:

"In addition, I can also harness Zhu Jiuyin’s powerful flesh body, temporarily enhancing my own physical attributes..."

At these words, Elder Long nodded.

This is a common tactic for Summoning Series Martial Spirits.

The Martial Spirit possessor can augment themselves using the Martial Spirit’s power.

The enhancement effect on oneself depends on the Martial Spirit strength...

For instance, his True Dragon Martial Spirit grants him immensely powerful close combat capabilities.

"Then, what about Zhu Jiuyin’s most critical... the power to control space and time?" Li Nian asked curiously at this moment.

Lin Chen shook his head, saying:

"Perhaps I am currently too weak, the power to govern space and time is something I cannot reach yet..."

Hearing this, everyone nodded, unsurprised.

Most Martial Spirits are quite weak at the initial stage of awakening.

Knowing that Lin Chen had awakened his Martial Spirit, Wang Lishan saw that he appeared quite fatigued, thus he said:

"Alright Lin Chen, you seem exhausted..."

"Leave the rest to us; would you like to go home and rest?"

Lin Chen nodded; awakening a Martial Spirit is indeed quite tiring.

He glanced at the messages on his communicator, sent by Lin An’an:

"Bro, come out to see the solar eclipse! Mom’s making rib soup tonight, are you coming home?"

So Lin Chen nodded, saying:

"Thank you, Uncle Wang..."

With that, Lin Chen left the Martial Arts Palace with Li Nian.

After Lin Chen left, Wang Lishan turned to Elder Long and Elder Jiang, smiling as he said:

"I think Lin Chen’s ranking... should be shifted a bit, right?"

...

Elsewhere.

Li Nian was driving fast, taking Lin Chen to the military family district.

Lin Chen yawned and asked:

"Brother Li, how long did you all wait for me outside?"

Li Nian replied casually: 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"About thirty-six hours, two days and a night—it’s nerve-wracking!"

Lin Chen chuckled at his words, thinking that Uncle Wang and the others waiting outside must have been more anxious than he was!

He habitually glanced at the countdown on his wrist, and Lin Chen was stunned...
