Martial Legendary

"Heavenly omens descend... "

"There are must a divine being appeared!"

With a silver moon hanging high in the sky, the night had fallen, stars twinkling and scattered across the earth.

However, amidst the vast sea of stars, a streak of seven-colored lightning danced, its brilliance impossible to ignore.

At the peak of the imperial palace in the Nine Provinces, an elder in a golden robe stood with his hands behind his back, gazing deeply into the starry sky, as if foreseeing something monumental about to unfold.

Behind him, tens of thousands of elite warriors from the imperial capital knelt silently, their eyes solemn as they awaited orders.

"Hummm!"

Suddenly, the lightning in the heavens gathered violently, forming a massive seven-colored divine bolt, which descended straight from the sky toward the earth.

In an instant, the night sky turned as bright as day.

Even before the divine bolt struck, the ground began to rumble, trembling violently, as if an immeasurable force was brewing, ready to unleash destruction.

Yet, when the divine lightning touched the land, an unexpected event occurred-it caused no catastrophic damage. The seven-colored lightning simply vanished into thin air as if it had never existed.

The darkness quickly reclaimed the earth, and the once-radiant night sky grew dim, as though some mysterious essence had been drained away, leaving behind a quiet, eerie calm.

The elderly man's body was shaking with excitement, and his eyes were unusually brilliant. "Within the boundaries of the Azure Province, take all the newborns born tonight to the Imperial City," he said, gesturing to the spot where the lightning had struck.

"As you command!"

Tens of thousands of specialists from Imperial City headed to the Azure Province as soon as they heard the thunderous reply. They pledged to locate the Divine Body and supply the royal court with it.

That night's grand and mysterious scene lingered in people's memories, yet the empire's actions remained secret. No one knew how much upheaval that night had brought to the imperial capital.

Until five years later...

Inside the boundaries of the Nine Provinces' Azure Province. The Azure Dragon School was just one of the innumerable schools.

It was the Azure Dragon School's yearly disciple recruitment day once more. The crowd outside the school was enormous.

The disciples on the outside court were always the busy people. They were forced to shoulder all of the obligations associated with being admitted to the school.

disciples of the outer court. They were the ones who performed the difficult and selfless work. They were despised by outsiders in addition to holding the lowest rank in the school.

It was really easy to figure out why. Being an outer court disciple implied that they had terrible talent and would struggle throughout their lives to achieve anything significant, therefore it was only logical that they would be hated.

"Hey, what's up with this mindset? Are you aware of who I am? A girl in expensive attire was pointing and yelling at a young man loudly while carrying a boy.

"I apologize profusely. Now since it is late, the school will shortly close. Please return the next day. The young man still had a youthful, delicate face, but there was a hint of heroism visible between his eyebrows.

His name was Chu Feng. He was one of the tens of thousands of Azure Dragon School's outer court disciples, and this year he became 15 years old.

Although he was an outer court disciple, Chu Feng was different from all the others. He did not feel inferior to others and he did not degrade himself. He did not feel afraid or scared while treating others and he was very calm.

"Come back tomorrow...You think I'm an idiot? These are the mountains! Where are you even going to let us sleep?"

"You must arrange a place of residence for me, or else I'll go find your elders for reasoning." The lady did not listen and did not care. She even grabbed onto Chu Feng's clothes.

"Chu Feng, have you met with trouble?" But just at that time, a sweet voice could be heard.

Looking at that direction, a young female who wore purple was walking over. Although there was a faint smile on her mouth, her eyes were fierce and they tightly stared at the lady.

As she saw the young female, the colour of the lady's face instantly changed and a strong expression of fear gushed out.

It was not because of anything else. It was just because the young female was wearing the purple robe, and that was a mark of the inner disciples.

The lady hiddenly cursed. She originally thought she could use her status to make things difficult for the young man in front of her.

Who would have thought that the unremarkable young man in front of her had the support of an inner disciple? The inner disciples were an existence that she couldn't offend.

"It's nothing it's nothing, I was just inquiring some things from him." The lady explained while smiling.

The young female glared at her and only said one word, "Scram."

At that instant, the lady's body couldn't help but tremble and her face was already ashen.

But she did not hesitate at all. She pulled the boy and quickly left, and under the panic she even tripped, which made her look very rough.

Seeing that, Chu Feng helplessly shook his head and said politely to the young female next to him, "Thank you very much Chu Yue."

"No need to be so polite, we're family right?" Chu Yue was a bit displeased.

She was correct. They were indeed family. They came from the same family, Chu.

Chu Yue was Chu Feng cousin, from Chu Feng's father's brother line and she was only 1 year older than Chu Feng.

However, Chu Yue already passed the inner disciple exam 3 years ago and became an inner disciple. She was now in the 4th level of the Spirit realm.

"We need to follow the school rules." Chu Feng said with a brilliant smile.

[TN: What he meant by following the school rules was being respectful to elders, as inner court disciples > outer court disciples]

Looking at Chu Feng behaving like that, Chu Yue's heart ached, "Chu Feng, are you still not going to participate in this year's inner disciple exam? Or is it that you still haven't reached the 3rd level of the Spirit realm?"

Chu Feng did not respond and a faint smile still hung on his face. No one knew what he meant.

Seeing that, Chu Yue took off a bag from her waist and put it in Chu Feng's hands, "Refine it. Perhaps it'll help you break through the 3rd level."

Chu Feng opened the bag and instantly, strong spiritual energy was emitted from it. A bright, sparkling, transparent Saint Spirit Grass that was the size of a finger laid within.

"Chu Yue. This is too precious, I can't take it." Chu Feng hurriedly returned it back to Chu Yue.

Saint Spirit Grass. It was like a panacea for martial training and it was extremely precious. It had endless usefulness for those within the Spirit realm.

To increase their training speed, the Chu family would supplement one Saint Spirit Grass to the Chu family members every year.

Chu Yue was also supplemented by the family, but she didn't use it and gave it to Chu Feng. It really moved Chu Feng, so he really couldn't accept it.

"When I say I give it to you, you should take it. You are my little brother after all." Chu Yue was slightly irritated.

"Oh? When were you so generous and even started to give Saint Spirit Grasses to people?"

"Look, I am your little brother as well, and coincidentally, I will almost have a breakthrough into 4th level of the Spirit realm. How about you give the Saint Spirit Grass to me?"

A young man around the age of Chu Feng walked over and he was also wearing clothes of the inner court disciples.

He was called Chu Zhen and he was also from the Chu family. Five years ago, he entered the Azure Dragon School at the same time as Chu Feng. However, he became an inner disciple 2 years ago.

"Chu Zhen, you've already broke past the 3rd level of the Spirit realm and successfully condensed spiritual energy . Even if you don't have this Saint Spirit Grass you can rank up quickly."

"But Chu Feng has not condensed spiritual energy yet, so this Saint Spirit Grass is more important to him." Chu Yue forcibly put the Saint Spirit Grass into Chu Feng's hands.

"Yep, you are correct, but sadly he doesn't want it." Chu Zhen spread his hands open and sneered.

Who said that I didn't want it?" But then, Chu Feng lightly smiled and unrestrainedly put the Saint Spirit Grass in his pocket before saying, "Chu Yue, I will borrow this Saint Spirit Grass. On a later date I will return them back twofold."

"Mm, okay." Seeing that Chu Feng accepted it, Chu Yue was already happy, so she just randomly responded and didn't care whether Chu Feng would return it back or not.

"If you're taking it then why return it? Giving you this Saint Spirit Grass for you to use is such a waste." Chu Zhen's face had a really ugly look on it.

Chu Feng just smiled and ignored him. He then said to Chu Yue, "Chu Yue, I will participate in this year's inner disciple exam."

"Hmph, you? If you can pass the inner disciple exam, I'll give this year's supplemented Saint Spirit Grass to you." Chu Zhen looked at Chu Feng with contempt.

"Is that true?" Chu Feng didn't really believe it.

"Chu Yue will be the witness. But what if you can't pass it?"

"Then the Saint Spirit Grass I get this year will belong to you." Leaving that sentence behind, Chu Feng continued to throw himself into the work of outer court disciples.

"Chu Zhen, we are family. Why do you always need to make things so hard for Chu Feng?" Chu Yue looked at Chu Zhen with annoyance.

"Family? Chu Yue, you should know that that Chu Feng isn't part of our Chu family."

"After entering the school for five years, he still hasn't passed the inner disciple exam. He is absolutely the disgrace of our Chu family."

"In the entire Chu family, which one likes him? Only you treat him nicely and you even give your own Saint Spirit Grass to him for use." Chu Zhen really did not understand.

"You are truly stupid." Chu Yue was a bit angry and after glaring at him for a moment, she walked away.

On the other hand, Chu Zhen smiled. He really was happy. Although he didn't get Chu Yue's Saint Spirit Grass, he knew that this year, Chu Feng's Saint Spirit Grass would certainly be his.

A bit into the night, in the resting area for the outer court disciples. It was complete darkness.

After being busy for the entire day, everyone was very tired and they slept very early. Only Chu Feng's room was still lit up by light.

He sat on the front of the bed, took out the Saint Spirit Grass that Chu Yue gave him and muttered, "I hope this Saint Spirit Grass can make you full."

After saying that, Chu Feng closed both his eyes, clamped the Saint Spirit Grass between both his palms and did a strange hand seal.

At that instant, the spiritual energy inside the Saint Spirit Grass started to enter Chu Feng's body through his palm and it converged into his dantian.

At the same time, chewing sounds came from Chu Feng's dantian as if something was having a meal.

If you looked through his skin, you would discover in the deep part of Chu Feng's dantian, a lump of lightning was occupying there.

That lump of lightning had nine colours and every colour was like a huge lightning beast. It emitted a terrifying aura that did not belong to this world.
