But in this Douluo Continent now, this rank hadn't available.

"Asuna-sensei, could I build spirit mecha and spirit battle armor?" Ryu said.

Battle Armor is a set of Spirit equipment. A Battle Armor master would be twenty spirit ranks stronger than any spirit master of the same spirit power rank.

"Yes, as long as you can get the training manual, my knowledge will be upgraded too. So I can guide you to build spirit battle armor" Asuna said.

"Thank you, Asuna sensei," Ryu said.

Meanwhile, in Huo Wu's home.

"This huge house will be mine," Huo Wuashang father said happily. He then instructed all of his followers to put a formation around this house.

They drew a spirit formation mark around this house, then activated it.

A circle of formation covered this house. Only someone with the formation token could enter it, and this formation could hold the Rank 6 Spirit Master's attack.

At the weekend, Ryu and Huo Wu went out from the academy. They went to their house's direction. On the way, they were stopped by 3 peoples. 2 of them were Rank 3 Spirit Masters: Spirit Elders and the leader was rank 4 Spirit Master: Spirit Ancestor.

"Stop" they jumped and cried loudly.

"What do you want?" Ryu stood in front of Huo Wu and prepared to fight 3 of them.

They summoned their spirit ring except for the leader.

"Spirit tool: Fire Axe"

"Spirit tool: Fire Axe "

The huge 3-meter long red axe appeared on their hand.

"both of you, teach them a lesson, but don't kill them," The leader said.

"Spirit Elders" Huo Wu was shocked.

Both of them swang their axe to Ryu. Ryu used Soru and disappeared from the spot

"Huo Wu, please be easy, I'll defeat them". Then he summoned his katana, Hyorinmaru

Meanwhile, at the same time, the leader rushed to behind Huo Wu and Ryu to close their running path.

"Spirit Beast: Fire Bear," the leader said loudly, and his body was enlarged twice. He had 3 meters tall now. he was Spirit Ancestor.

Two of them jumped to the air, the fire covered the axe. Then they swang their axe to the ground.

Then Huo Wu tried to use Soru, but she hit the wall. She still at Novice level.

"Not Good" Ryu used Soru and appeared in front of Huo Wu.

"Boom" the two's attacks created an explosion. This is an AoE attack. Ryu blocked this attack to protect Huo Wu and sent flying to the wall.

Then the leader rushed toward Ryu. He picked up Ryu. Holding his head, then he started to punch Ryu continuously.

Huo Wu was blocked by two spirit elders and couldn't do anything.

"Don't hurt her, just hold her back. We just need to teach this Huo's slave a lesson" the leader said.

"A cough, cough" Ryu puked mouth of blood. He gushed his blood to the leader's face.

"Damn you" then the leader used one of his skill. A fire covered his left hand and made a fire claw. Then he threw Ryu to the air, and he slashed his claw to Ryu. Ryu defended with his sword, but he was sent flying and hit the wall again.

"Damn" he gritted his eyes and tried to stand up, but he couldn't. his vision darkened and blurred now. Ryu fainted.

"Ryu" Huo Wu cried. Tears appeared from her eyes. Huo Wu used Soru and rushed toward him. She made a breakthrough to the initial level.

Then she carried him on her back. Then she used Soru. She ran away from three of them to her house direction.

When she arrived at her house, she was shocked. A formation protected her house, and some peoples were guarding her house.

"What did you do in my house?" Huo Wu cried.

"Now this house isn't yours now. this house will be Huo Wushuang house" said one of Guard.

"Go out now" The guard's leader appeared and summoned his spirit ring. He was Spirit Ancestor.

She gritted her teeth, but she couldn't offend them, and Ryu was injured now.

She then went to the pharmacy, but she was rejected because she didn't have any money.

Then she went back to the spirit academy. Ryu was treated here, but they were working students. Huo Wu was given some additional work for covering the treatment cost.

After 3 days, he awoke.

"Where am I?" Ryu said. Then he looked at Huo Wu that slept beside him. He remembered his fight, he couldn't do anything. He put his hand on her head

Suddenly, Huo Wu woke up. She heard this voice.

"Ryu," she said

"I'm sorry Huo Wu, I couldn't protect you. I promise to you I will get stronger than before" Ryu said.

"No, I'm sorry I can't do anything to help you at that fight. I'm sorry. Now we didn't have anything, for now, our house was robbed by Huo Wushuang's father" Huo Wu said and tears appeared from her eyes.

"If you left me, I didn't have nothing," she said.

Ryu looked to her, held her hands and said "I'm still here. Let's grow stronger together and get revenge for your parents in the future"

Huo Wu nodded.
