5 Hunting

Ryu suddenly appeared in the forest.

"Great, this is too amazing," Ryu said.

"Kid, you are very interesting" Suddenly Ryu heard a man voice.

"A ghost?" Ryu said.

"No, I'm your spirit soul. Hyorinmaru. Calm yourself, and enter your world of consciousness" Trishula said.

Then Ryu calmed himself and appeared in his world of consciousness. He saw an ice dragon.

"I don't like this appearance. Let me transform myself" then Hyorinmaru transformed into a handsome man, with turquoise eyes, and long straight white hair.

"So you are my Zanpakuto, Hyorinmaru. What's the matter, Hyorinmaru?" Ryu asked.

"Just Say Hello to my host," Hyorinmaru said.

"Oh…"

"If you get another million spirit ring for your second spirit soul, she will awake and have self-consciousness like myself. He will be a perfect match for me." Hyorinmaru said.

"This is too dangerous," Ryu said.

"Yeah, It will be a long journey," Hyorinmaru said.

Back to Spirit Ascension Platform…

"Now let's search for a spirit ring"

"Ding, Quest triggered: Defeat 1st Floor Boss. Reward: Transformation Jutsu"

"Ding, Quest triggered: Completed Your 1st Spirit Rings. Progress : 1 / 2. Reward: Rokushiki Training Manual"

"aaaaaauuuuuu"

Then he saw a dozen wolves.

"yeah, the wolf packs. I am lucky." Ryu said happily. Then a katana appeared on his hand.

"Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens"

"Hyorinmaru"

Hyōrinmaru extends slightly in length and gains a crescent-shaped blade attached to its hilt by a long metal chain

Then he swang Hyorinmaru.

His slashes create an immense amount of spiritual power which overflows from the tip of the blade, creating a flow of ice shaped like a Chinese dragon.

The ice Chinese dragon appeared and rushed toward the wolf packs, and froze 3 wolves. Then they were scattered.

"Exp + 10"

"Exp + 10"

"Exp + 10"

"Exp : 30 / 222"

"There are still 20 wolves. I'll jump to rank 12 if I have defeated all of them"

"Shadow Clone Jutsu" then 11 Ryu's clones appeared.

They swangHyorinmaru. The 11 ice Chinese dragon rushed toward the wolf pack, and killed all wolves, except one wolf which had a larger body than other. It was the wolf pack leader. It had 2-meter length and 1-meter height.

He jumped to rank 12, and all of his energy was recovered.

"50 years old Spirit Beast," Ryu said.

"Now let me train my combat technique" then he released all clones.

"Come here" he mocked the wolf leader.

The wolf moved two times faster than Ryu. Then the wolf front legs became like steel and were covered by thunder. Then the Wolf Spirit Beast jumped to the air and slashed Ryu with its claw.

"Peng"

Ryu defended with his katana. his hand was numb after receiving this attack. Then he used his right foot to kick the wolf.

"Boom"

The wolf was sent flying and threw at the rock.

"Come on, doggy" Ryu mocked

The wolf then used thunder claw attack again.

"Hahaha, the same trick" he dodged to left. The wolf's attack missed the target and hit the ground. At the same time, Ryu swang his katana to the wolf. The wolf was defeated.

"Exp + 25"

"Exp : 35/ 263"

After that, he met the pack of Bamboo shoot Spirit beast. They were very slow, and Ryu defeated them easily with Hyorinmaru skill. He rushed toward them and defeated them. After 6 hours, he was jumped to rank 15.

He absorbed the spirit ring experience to increase the Trishula age. He got 990 spirit exp.

"Ryu Exp 10/500"

"Trishula 1.000.990"

"Now I think I can defeat the Boss now," Ryu said.

Then he walked to the center of the forest. He saw a portal and a spirit beast guarded it. It was an armored skull.

"Nice, 100 years old dark attribute spirit beast, Zombie Warrior. He guarded the 2nd-floor portal"

Then Ryu summoned Hyorinmaru.

"This is a good practice for my swordsmanship"

"Let's fight," Ryu said and jumped to the air. Then he swang his katana.

"Peng"

The katana and sword met each other. Then Ryu kicked him but the zombie blocked it with its shield.

"Peng"

Ryu jumped by using the shield as a basis. When he was on the air, a grey aura appeared and covered the zombie.

Ryu then swang his katana but it was blocked by zombie shield. Ryu felt weaker and weaker when he was near-zombie.

"This, I'm feeling my vitality is sucked by the zombie" Ryu thought.

The zombie then swang his sword, but Ryu dodged it and jumped back. He pointed his katana to the zombie.

"Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens"

"Hyorinmaru"

Hyōrinmaru extends slightly in length and gains a crescent-shaped blade attached to its hilt by a long metal chain

Then he swang Hyorinmaru.

His slashes create an immense amount of spiritual power which overflows from the tip of the blade, creating a flow of ice shaped like a Chinese dragon.

"Peng"

The ice Chinese dragon rushed toward the zombie, but the zombie deflected it with its shield. The Ice dragon's aim was changed to another direction.

"I can control this dragon as it is my part of the body," Ryu said, then the Ice dragon curved and hit the Zombie from its back.

Exp + 100.

The zombie was frozen solid. A yellow ring appeared.

"Let me absorb it" Then Ryu extended his hands, and absorbed it.

He got skill "Devor"

Devour Small amount of enemies energy on contact to restore host energy.

Ding, Mission completed. Got Transformation Jutsu.

Ding, Mission completed. Got Rokushiki Training Manual.

Let's use the initial skill of Chaos Void Time Djinn [Djinn Equip].

he gets black wings. In this form, Ryu was surrounded by a skeleton-like dragon which he could use to grab an opponent.

It's looked like a Belial Djinn Equip, but minus Schyte, additional eyes and hands.
