Chapter 1

In the Nine Heavens Continent, martial arts are revered. Even the weakest martial artists possess the strength of thousands or tens of thousands of pounds, capable of breaking stones and splitting boulders. The more powerful martial artists can sever rivers and split mountains. There are even martial arts emperors who can connect heaven and earth, roaming the vast void.

Martial arts determine one's fate and life and death. The weak are bullied, while the strong look down upon the world.

Martial spirits are the innate talents of the people of the Nine Heavens Continent, the souls of martial artists. One could say that a martial artist's achievements are closely related to their martial spirit.

There are countless types of martial spirits. There are natural martial spirits such as fire, ice, hurricanes, and lightning; weapon martial spirits such as swords, spears, and halberds; and beast martial spirits such as white tigers, raging rhinos, violent apes, and dragons. Of course, there are also many powerful exotic martial spirits, such as the berserk martial spirit and the undying martial spirit. Martial spirits can continuously evolve and grow stronger as the martial artist's strength increases.

...

Yangzhou City, the Lin Family Manor.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and stared at the ancient and elegant room, a room that was both unfamiliar and familiar. A hint of bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

"So, this is what it means to survive a great calamity!" Lin Feng muttered to himself. The bitter smile vanished, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Indeed, Lin Feng had been transported to another world. He was originally a fourth-year student in Jiangnan City, China, but due to a car accident, he was transported to the Nine Heavens Continent, possessing the body of a family member with the same name.

Lin Feng felt somewhat depressed, but not because of the transportation. On Earth, he was an orphan raised by his grandfather. His grandfather passed away from overwork the moment he saw Lin Feng's university acceptance letter, leaving him a substantial sum of money for his education. To leave this inheritance, his grandfather had neglected his own illness.

Lin Feng had always worked hard. He worked part-time and earned the highest scholarship every year, hoping to change his fate and fulfill his grandfather's wishes. However, he gradually realized that in an era where success depended on one's background, hard work did not guarantee success.

During his fourth-year internship, the company held a banquet at a hotel. At the banquet, a wealthy young man got a female classmate drunk. The company staff tacitly walked away, and Lin Feng knew what was about to happen, so he intervened.

As a result, his four years of hard work were in vain. He was expelled from school for allegedly molesting a female classmate, with solid evidence provided by the classmate herself.

Furthermore, he was sued. The female classmate and the wealthy young man jointly accused him, with both human and physical evidence. With no money or power, Lin Feng had no chance of winning the lawsuit. His life was almost predetermined: he would spend ten to twenty years in prison and then be completely out of touch with society.

When he saw the wealthy young man and the female classmate happily embracing in an Audi car, Lin Feng hijacked a car and, with a smile, drove it into the Audi. He vaguely remembered the terrified and dirty faces, the filth of the world.

In his previous life, Lin Feng had no attachments, so he was not depressed about being transported. What depressed him was that he had been transported into the body of a useless young master with a defective martial spirit.

This Lin Feng, who shared his name, was originally an outer disciple of the Yunhai Sect. He was bullied and beaten by his cousin, and then kicked out of the sect, nearly dead. It was because of this that Lin Feng could take advantage of the situation and possess his body.

"Since I have a second chance at life, I will not let the tragedy repeat itself." Lin Feng, lying in bed, clenched his fists and said to the lingering soul, "Rest assured, from now on, you are me, and I am you. I will not let myself be bullied again."

Having merged with the majority of the original 'Lin Feng's soul, Lin Feng now clearly understood the world he was in—a world where the strong are revered. As long as you are strong enough, any authority must bow before you, including the supreme imperial power.

To become a martial arts master, one needs not only superior talent but also a strong heart and an indomitable will. The original 'Lin Feng' was somewhat cowardly, but the current Lin Feng is different. Having lived two lives and experienced hardships and the test of death, his will is far stronger than that of the original 'Lin Feng'.

As if sensing Lin Feng's strong will, the lingering soul gradually weakened and finally merged perfectly with Lin Feng's soul.

"Boom!" At the moment of soul fusion, Lin Feng felt his soul tremble, and he fainted, losing consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng opened his eyes again, his brows slightly furrowed, carefully sensing the tremor of the soul.

Sitting up, Lin Feng focused his mind, and immediately, a special aura spread through the space. Lin Feng felt himself enveloped in a hazy shadow, a black shadow.

"Have you heard? Lin Feng, that useless one, hasn't woken up yet. I think he's probably dead."

"Hehe, a useless person like him might as well die early. He disgraces our Lin family."

From a distance, the voices of two people reached Lin Feng's ears. Lin Feng did not get angry but instead showed a strange expression. The voices were clearly from far away, yet he could hear them clearly. Not only that, but any slight movement within a few hundred meters seemed to be within his hearing.

Moreover, Lin Feng found his vision had improved, and his thinking seemed sharper. Many things in martial arts that he had not understood before were now clear.

Focusing his mind again, a small snake shadow appeared behind Lin Feng, its tiny body curled up. This was the defective martial spirit that people mocked him for, a snake of unknown type that could not enhance his abilities.

"Double martial spirit!"

However, Lin Feng was not at all distressed by the small snake martial spirit. Instead, he looked somewhat dazed, then a bright smile appeared on his face. Indeed, the black shadow behind him was a martial spirit, a newly awakened one. Although he did not yet know what this black shadow was, combined with the small snake shadow, he now had two martial spirits.

Those with two martial spirits are called dual martial spirits. On the continent, martial artists with dual martial spirits are considered geniuses. Lin Feng, who was once called a waste, now possessed dual martial spirits.

"For now, I'll call you the Dark Martial Spirit." Lin Feng smiled. The reason he had dual martial spirits was likely due to the soul fusion. His soul was a fusion of two souls, so having dual martial spirits was not surprising. As for the abilities of this martial spirit, it seemed to enhance his physical attributes.

Closing his eyes, Lin Feng began to meditate and practice. The elemental energy of heaven and earth flowed through his limbs and into his body, refining his physical form and nourishing his martial spirit.

After two hours, Lin Feng stopped practicing, exhaling a mouthful of milky white turbid air. He felt refreshed and invigorated, and even the soreness in his body had disappeared.

"This is the cultivation of a martial artist, how amazing." Lin Feng looked at his fists and clenched them, producing a series of cracking sounds, full of power.

The cultivation speed seemed much faster than he remembered. Lin Feng walked out of the room, and before him was a large courtyard. The courtyard contained wooden stakes and massive stone pillars, all for his cultivation.

Approaching a stone pillar, Lin Feng activated the martial technique Nine Waves, and immediately, a fierce wind rushed out, slicing through the air as if waves were distorting space.

"Roar!"

At this moment, Lin Feng let out a loud shout, sinking his waist, tightening his abdomen, and delivering a powerful punch. The punch, like a meteor, struck the stone pillar with a loud boom, reducing it to a pile of rubble.

Not only that, but the punch's wind continued forward, producing several explosive sounds as it struck another stone pillar, causing it to shatter with another loud boom. The two massive stone pillars, two meters apart, shattered one after the other.

"This should be over six thousand pounds of force." Lin Feng was very satisfied with this result. His current strength had returned to its peak, the fifth level of the Qi Martial Realm. The martial technique Nine Waves he practiced was even stronger, having advanced to the sixth level. Therefore, he could deliver a punch with six thousand pounds of force at the fifth level of the Qi Martial Realm.

"It seems the Dark Martial Spirit not only enhances my vision and hearing but also improves my cultivation speed and comprehension." Lin Feng smiled. In the past, he was called a waste not only because of his defective martial spirit but also because of his slow cultivation and poor comprehension. Talented people of his age had already reached the sixth level of the Qi Martial Realm or higher, while he was only at the fifth level. Moreover, his comprehension of martial techniques was poor, and he had been stuck at the fifth level of Nine Waves, which was a source of ridicule.

However, now, with the birth of the Dark Martial Spirit, the issue of his martial arts talent seemed to be resolved.

A martial spirit that can comprehensively enhance martial arts attributes—this Dark Martial Spirit is not an ordinary martial spirit.
