Yuanhan and Yuanyun walked to the centre of the awakening hall, one left and one right.
In their hands were the awakening materials they had just gotten.
To the back, Mu Yan was observing with Lady Lingyi, who had been quiet this whole time.
"Start the awakening," Mu Yan told the crafter, not waiting any longer.
The formation started running right away.
Symbols were formed in two rings, with the outermost having twenty-eight symbols and the innermost having four symbols.
These symbols were the exact same as Mu Yan’s awakening.
Once they lit up, they didn’t rise into the sky as previously.
Instead, they seemed to await command.
The crafter tapped on the formation plate –
"This awakening will mainly enhance the potential they have now," Mu Yan explained to Lady Lingyi who seemed a bit confused with the procedure.
"I have chosen this awakening method to give them a deeper foundation. Rapid advancement is for those that need it, these two don’t. Their inherent talent is great, with even a slight bit of enhancement, they might enter the ranks of geniuses.
Now putting everything into one category, they have the potential of becoming top geniuses in one field!"
Right as he said so, the pillars started rising, two to be exact.
On the right, facing Yuanyun, the azure pillar representing the Literati Path rose rapidly. On the other side, the crimson pillar representing the Martial Path rose equally high.
In just a few moments, they rose to a shocking height – 150 points!
"All allocated points?!" Lady Lingyi looked over in shock.
Every Royal Descendant could allocate a total of 150 points, but it’s generally known that 100 points is the limit, anything beyond will enhance different aspects.
Just then, when the pillars were high, suddenly, fifty points seemed to be glowing brightly.
"This is why we have awakening materials," Mu Yan said.
At this moment, the blood vial in Yuanhan’s hand and the pearl in Yuanyun’s hand suddenly started glowing.
The pillar instantly lowered by fifty points.
Azure and crimson lights cascaded from the pillars, entering the awakening materials.
Right away, in Yuanhan’s hand, the vial gained a deep crimson colour.
Yuanyun’s pearl also gained an azure light...
"Swallow them," Mu Yan commanded.
The two children looked at each other, not hesitating any longer.
Yuanhan opened and gulped the vial right away.
Crimson light spread across her whole body, endless vitality streaming from her.
When Yuanyun swallowed the pearl, behind him, a dragon spirit appeared!
It was initially nearly invisible, but an azure light slowly manifested it.
Looking at it deeply, one could see thin lines all over the dragon. They were extremely smart words describing various things!
As the lines on the dragon appeared, on Yuanhan’s side, another transformation occurred –
The crimson light transformed into a different colour.
At first it only lost radiance, becoming colder. But with the passage of time, it lost its crimson colour and instead became icy-blue!
Just as these phenomena happened, there seemed to be a sudden halt.
"The foundation for success has been built, a phoenix bloodline and a dragon spirit have been formed! But, just the foundation isn’t enough! Enter it!" Mu Yan commanded.
As if responding to his call, the remaining 100 points of each pillar started breaking down.
While the 50 points created the foundation for this talent that didn’t exist before, these 100 points were the true talent enhancement!
Instantly, the icy-blue colour on Yuanhan’s body transformed!
It gathered all around, growing larger with each moment.
Finally, all light gathered around her head.
Her long black hair and eyes became icy-blue, like frozen permafrost ice!
Meanwhile, on Yuanyun’s side, another shocking thing happened –
The thin black lines spreading across the dragon multiplied. At first it was only a few more, but with each line, there seemed to be a huge difference.
In the end, the whole dragon became ink-black, seemingly composed of countless words!
At the same time, three claws grew out of the dragon, still somewhat illusory, but somehow containing endless mysteries!
Slowly, these visions receded as the crimson and azure light were used fully.
Mu Yan stepped forward and caught Yuanyun and Yuanhan who had fell down, exhaustion written on their face.
"Revert to your passive form," Mu Yan told them.
The weak Yuanhan nodded as she seemed to think of something. Instantly, her eyes and hair returned back to normal. Only three streaks of icy-blue hair remained, seemingly like the crown feathers of a phoenix!
Yuanyun commanded his spirit to enter his body again. Coiling around his head, the dragon became illusory before disappearing from everyone’s eyes. Instead, on Yuanyun’s right chin, three black claws appeared in the form of a black tattoo.
Having transformed back, the two seemed to have gained some power and were able to stand on their own.
"Thank you for the awakening!" Mu Yan cupped his hands to the crafter before taking his leave, unwilling to spend more time here.
He looked back at his two children and reached out his hand, taking theirs and leading them outside.
On their way some people looked over, curious about what happened for them to look so weak. But seeing Mu Yan’s robe, no one dared to approach.
Outside, the maid and guard were waiting.
Mu Yan looked at them and said "Allow them to rest. According to my estimations, they should have a long sleep and adjust to their new powers. In three days, meet me in the Royal Inheritance Library, where we can see to choose their martial and literary arts, as well as the Fate Connecting technique.
It would be best if you can give Yuanhan some ice-element spiritual food and Yuanyun some mind-calming incense or tea.
Their awakening took a large toll on their mind and body."
Lady Lingyi looked worried when she saw her two children like this.
But when she touched Yuanhan’s hair streaks for a moment, an extremely cold power washed over her. And when she touched the tattoo on Yuanyun’s face, a lot of random information entered her mind.
Being a cultivator herself, she also knew that behind the danger of awakening was a huge benefit!
