Chapter 13 - TRAINING AND FIRST SPIRIT RINGS

Tang Chen and Tang San were excited today because after two and half months of the ceremony at the local spirit Hall branch. His father Finally allowed them to get their first spirit rings.

After the second awakening of Tang San and Tang Hao hammer spirit. Tang Hao personally decided to Train the boys for one more month. This month both his son made progress. Tang Hao trained them in having perfect control over their low soul power as it strengthens their foundation further.

Tang Chen also has planned To train him and his brother in perfecting their control. Both have good control because of the mysterious heaven method. But Tang Hao made them do Rigorous exercise to perfect their control.

Tang Hao sparred with them also using nothing but physical strength. Both his sons have good fighting experience but it was mostly against soul beasts. Though soul beasts are more vicious but there are not as crafty, cunning and adaptable as humans. He was impressed but polished their fighting style further. The sparring session was rather simple He allowed them to attack to get a feel of their level and style and punch them if he sees any hole in their defense. Both boys literally got the shit beaten out of them. They progressed their fighting style and became more and more adept in their techniques.

Tang Chen made progress in my Tang sects techniques like ghost shadow perplexing track, mystic jade hands and controlling crane and catching dragon. He also upped his Lightness skills and got some accomplishments in the intents. He also improved his hidden weapon throwing methods under Tang San guidance. They planned to make hidden weapons in the upcoming future but were Strengthening foundation and Tang San also told him about all weapons and material to build them. He told him that he also help in forging. After getting their first rings he planned to try out a hundred and a thousand refining.

Tang San most adapted himself in using his new hammer spirit He was able to wield it after a month of training. He mostly spent his time helping his brother to progress his Tang sects techniques.

Tang Hao didn't tell them, but he was training the boys since the started Blacksmiths

When he saw they both can lift even his hammer he knew both have amazing body strength, but he refined it further by teaching then disorder splitting wind hammer method and by continuously varying their forging hammer when they complete 81hits from previous hammer. He also made them practice hammering method with odd example hammer with big head and thin or short handle. He just told them to get 81 hits with them to make the same hammer if broken by themselves. His sons were both genius and hardworking. They complete all the tasks without asking any questions.

Tang Hao also trained them in utilizing killing intent in both fighting and intimidating. He knew both of his sons have it but concealed it well. Both Tang Chen and Tang San were extremely frightened by the amount of killing intent his father was emitting. If it wasn't for the fact he was their father and wouldn't harm then both bodies would have thought killing themselves on their own will be pleasant. Then Suddenly a wave of weak but denser than Tang San or what should have been emitted from Tang Chen as he subconsciously released his hammer There was a pattern similar to Tang Hao hammer in his Hammer also but wasn't as dense it was a thin white pattern. Tang Hao was shocked and Told them about Domains. Both his sons were shocked Tang Chen was happy that he gained such benefit by helping his father second awakening his killing intent to have a transformation and became steady. He can now control it and can affect his enemy at 20-meter radii, but he knows the domain will increase with his ranks and have transformation when he acquires spirit rings. But he didn't have his first ring yet there was Transformation. Tang Hao told tang San he will also gain the same domain but after he was 15-18 years old. Tang Chen's was just a coincidence. He trained both boys first to withstand and then to fight under his killing intent. The pressure helps the boys though Tang Hao was controlling the amount of killing intent and it's effect otherwise his sons couldn't even move if he released it all.

Training with their father was fruitful for both brothers. The leap of strength was one thing but under the guidance of a titled douluo, they both have strengthened their foundation and move forward on their path with little to no deviation. This was their biggest gain as guidance from their father provided them the knowledge to help them improve and do no deviate from their path.

For the spirit rings and skills, both boys have different opinions. Tang Chen wanted strength and Tang San wanted flexibility both their spirits. Both decided to gain purple spirit rings first. As though their body was strong but was not too well-developed and the absorbing black ring may do the harm. Tang Chen told Tang San He will Try first and to awake him is he sees things were not going as planned. Tang San reluctantly agreed.

Both went inside the magical space to plant beasts area first to get a spirit ring for the blue silver spirit. They spent time inside searching for suitable beasts. Tang Chen looks around to find his desirable traits in plants around he wants to find a plant that would help his blue silver ruler to strengthen it further. While looking around he found a plant beast that looks like bamboo but without nodes and leafs this plant had a metallic shine to it looks around 5000-6000 years of age. Tang Chen knows that it was the metallic bamboo plant beast. This type of plant beast doesn't have strong attacking capabilities but has very high defensive property. It will be impossible for beasts under 15,000 of age to bypass defense of this plant beast. This plant beast can give Tang Chen the things he was looking for in the first ring.

He hurriedly got near the plant and used his hammer spirit. It took 10 strikes to end its life one can say how strong was its defense. The Plant beast also a mutated one with stronger strength.

This metallic bamboo died and produced a purple ring. Tang Chen got near it and sat crosslegged bring out blue emperor ruler activating the mysterious heaven method to guide the ring towards him and start absorbing.

Tang San was looking at and analyzing the change happening to his brother and his spirit. Tang Chen was busy absorbing the ring then it suddenly feels some energy from the ring has taken away and stored in his spirit. His spirit was now having metallic azure blue l.u.s.ter. He grew 4 cm in height. Nothing else happened. He absorbed the ring and stood up and went to Tang San. He felt he increased more than one rank but didn't know how much He wasn't surprised about it as he should have increased ranks both because of cultivation and his spirit rings.

Tang San asked him to summon his spirit ring and about the skill he got. Tang Chen smiled and summer his spirit and was shocked that instead of purple it was of yellow color. But he was sure he got the benefit of the purple ring his spirit was that many times stronger. He then remembered the energy stored in his spirit. This was not a miracle or accident but limit placed by God that anybody will get only optimal rings configuration like 2- yellow, 2- purple, then black and if possible red from this magical space, both brothers can cheat it only because of twin spirit, after adding 4 rings to blue silver spirit and then add 4black rings to hammer spirit. But it only mattered in color of rings they still get soul skill of the age and strength of the beast. So, though it was yellow rings he still got a Thousand-year-old beasts soul skill at full power.

He then told Tang San about Restrictions. They both thought about it and came to the realization that it was a good effect as it will not bring any unwanted attention. And will also stop people from experimenting and endangering young spirit masters because of their greed or pride. They both agreed to it. Though Tang Hao didn't tell them they are smart enough to guess he has very powerful enemies. So, bringing attention to them was like an invitation to problems.

Tang San also started to look around He wanted the poisonous beast to be his first spirit ring. As they were strolling they felt a sense of danger. They suddenly turned around but sees it was only Datura plant but Looking closely it seems to be moving Suddenly illegal launch towards them. They both have easily avoided it but now was looking at beast it was a snake look like a datura tree. It was around 4000-5000 years old. Both boys don't have in-depth knowledge about beasts, but they hunter all kinds of beasts and guess their age by their Aura.

Tang decided that it will be its spirit ring. He doesn't know about grandmaster theory or anything. It was simply a matter of ignorance was bliss. Snake was poisonous so his spirit will automatically acquire it. He killed the beast and stars absorbing the spirit ring He absorbed without a hitch. He also got a yellow ring ad his spirit started to give a dangerous vibe.

They decided themselves to add only 10,000 years old rings to hammer meanwhile as their soul power increases by adding spirit rings to blue silver spirit they will work in improving their intent as it's low because of their low soul power.

They both decided to leave the magical space and consolidate their ranks as it increased too rapidly and will affect their foundation.

They came out and told their father about rings and restrictions. Tang Hao said it was a blessing and told them their ranks Tang San was 16 and Tang Chen was at 17. Tang Hao told them not to rush to rank 20 but utilize this not only consolidate their ranks but they have very good cultivation techniques with the combined effect of manual, mysterious heaven and purple demon eyes to make their soul and spiritual power denser and purify it further. He told them not to add, another ring for at least 2 years. Both boys readily agreed to it. They sat crosslegged to bring their bodies to condition and were excited to try the soul skill they got from the rings.
