4 Grandmaster Yu

for the whole month I kept practicing my Darkness spirit ,I have gained good comprehension over my Darkness eyes.or whatever,it might also have something else that I will uncover later, Once I reachSpirit Leader or otherwise known as Spirit Ancestor rank I will be able to at least complete summon my full realguard, and at Spirit king level I will be able to manifest my Darkness spirit using essence,____

I also polished my spirit ability by using it against beasts ,Cane ,And other bullies and I am glad to.say I have made small improvement s,for startersI can now even trap a spirit expert inside it for a while ,in other words now I can trap someone who is one and a half rank.ahead of me.so someone at level 34 is a piece of cake for me.

I can also imbue my Dark fire into shadow lock or use it seperately ,although darkness can imbue its own effects into the Shadow lock ,but more the merrier , while I.have also ,reduced the essence consumption to half of what it was for Dark fire.

as for my final choice of weapon well I chose not one but two as I have two spirits you know, a staff and a sword .

Cane spends most of his time in the battle ground as he has to get some experience cause he will be using arts to fight ,daah

whileI.have already reached level 20 and can fuse with another ring but will stop for another month or several month...system.is always right after all if it weren't for his pointers I would not have reached this far.

I gave Tang san a special metal that I said I found in. a pawn shop ,although he was suspicious of me but still agreed to make Cane and me a clith Armor with that.

this metal has the same toughness as that of a 1000 yr old Slitherback so its very impressive ,and coupled with Canes ability it will be really useful to him. but he will still loose to me unless he learns some holy element and a powerful one at that.I tild him that he can do whatever he wants with the rest leftover ,

Today is the day he is supposed to give it to us at the afternoon, so me and Cane are waiting outiside the academy grounds for him,

We waited for a while ,and after about five minutes came Tangsan , waving at us from afar,"Hey,sorry it took so long"

and beside him was a man with white hair ,a cap and blue clothing,"Are you the ones my disciple talked about,hmm "

the both of us gave a greeting bow as we said,"Students greets the teachers" well it is troublesome but we have to follow school rules for as long as we are inside.

he gave us a nod ,while Tang san summoned two metallic looking full body armor for us,that I asked him to make,its defence is really great ,it can take strikes from a 2000 yr old beast well enough but might break.against their spirit ability.

I took it from him as I stored it in my inventory.

Shocking The grandmaster and Tangsan as I was not waering any artifact ,

"Anyways my disciple told me you both have some amazing Spirit ability ,can I see it," said Grandmaster Yu.

I gave him a nod as I summoned my Darkness in my hands , and then at my eyes shocking even tang san.

"AMAZING it is a power type as well as a body type and I heard from My disciple that it showed a control skill,truly a class of its own"said Grandmaster Yu.

"Thanks for the complement hehe," I said.

"No fair mine is a special one too see see"said Cane ashe activated his Spirit summoning a sword out of thin air whike a eye guard became visible (ohh so his real guard is already becoming visible)

He also activated his spirit skill making steam come out of his sword as his power ,defence and agility increased.

"This is also new ,I.have never seen such a spirit before , it is a new type ,the image seems like a knight eh" said the Master again as he marveled at our ability.

"Say why don't the both of you study under me I can help you better understand your abilities and spirit ,I am the greatest philosopher you know," said Yu as he was very excited ,this is his field and he has in front of him teo new abilities.

This is not a bad Idea and I might be able to make my own ability like that."Disciple greets master" said Cane

seeing him ,Grandmaster Yu waited for me,

aahh. whatever,"Disciple greets Master,"

I said as I again gave a bow ,

Kust like that we both trained ourselves ,I kept mediataing at night ehile master told us about all the kinds of beasts ,their ages ,how if I supposedly absorbed their hollows would unlock what Spirit ability and other things,

he gave us all the knowledge he had on him without any holding back which made me reaally greatful ,

I was told to keep my spirit summoned all the time ,and had to do some simple exercise s evrry day while Cane being a Unique type had to learn to hone his reflexes and to strenuous exercises all day ,

I also asked him about some things I was not sure about like when does a real guard forms fully and stuff like when one can cause manifestation of his spirit .

at Spirit Grandmaster realm or Also known as Expert realm one starts to form his real guard

while at Spirit leader or after that one starts to form Manifestation.

He also made us three spar each other every day.Grandmaster Yu was really surprised by my bodies toughness and agility ,must be the because myBody evolution.

just like that an year passed away and my height has increased exponentially becoming the same as my original one .

Cane has reached level 18 while I am already at the Level 20 meaning I.have reached my limit.Tangsan.and Xia wu has also reached level 18 .

Tangsan asked me if I had any more of that metal but I td him that I did not ...I will give it to him but it is still a bot early .

I also figured out my Darkness will cause a debuff of 10% at every five consecutive hits .along with the dizzy property .

Once I went into the jungle alone ,when i wanted to test it and found out that other than that it also forms a pressure onto its target. I have also learned to imbue it onto objects .it can potentially corrode armors and blades ,

I also showed master my 100,000 yr old spirit ring,looking at it he was completely surprised ,it was a ring only thought to.be a legend. he asked me how I.was able to even absorb the ring to.which I. told him about how if the spirit before his death agrees to give you his spirit ring ,then you can absorb it but must have a special constitution.I told him I am a hybrid which was a big lie.

its not their fault cause they have not discovered the whole continent or have not even checked the whole Star dou forest.

just like that another half an year passed and now I can pretty much possess fivestimes my original spirit power .if I just learn to better use it then I am pretty much a power bank.

Master also told me about a very rare Spiritual herb known as ,Dark lavender shoots it can further intensify and purify my heat ,but he told me that the last stock was just bought at the Auction Hall by someone else.

So I asked the System to.buy me the same kind of herb.

it looks like a small sugar cane except its a dark colour with red and green spots on it ,further sprouting into ten branches,

I gave it to master ,he was very surprised that I have this so I told him that it was picked by me in the forest ,he was suspicious of me but chose to ignore it .

In two days time he made the concotion,because one can absorb it raw but this way it would give double the effect and leas pain.

,"If you dont mind ,can I also give some to your fellow brothers and sister" said master Yu

"Are you silly master.ofcourse why not ,if it helps them that is" I said ,why not its free anyways.

"Thanks brother Ji I will jot forget this favor ," said Tangsan,lately they have all been calling me ji or brother ji or in Canes case he calls me Boss ji cause it beat him if he does not.

we each took a vial as we all sat in lotus position and started to absorb the concotion .

after all the concotion was used I summoned dark.fire around my hands and I could feel its intensity had increased three times. and inreverse it became more aggressive meaning that it became harder to control.

Canes First spirit skill also had an improvement , while Tang san and Xiao wu also reached level 20 along with Cane.

"I think you guys would be youngest no.. second youngest to ever become Spirit grandmasters relax for today ,tomorrow we will visit the forest to lool for your spirit rings."

said Grandmaster Yu .

"Mater I have already gotten my own spirit ring so you guys can go" said Xiao wu,well she did not get her own ring rather she formed it herself ,if I remeber correctly its name is Waist bow which increases her waist strength by 100% and toughness by 50%.

She showed us her new skill happilly while fighting with well, Cane ,I personally think she is a great oponent for him.

Grandmaster also said that Cane might experience a awakening at later stages.

~~~~~~~~~

Currently we are standing in a the middle inner region.of.this forest located beside the academy,

First off we will be looking for Tang sans spirit ,I am pretty sure that it comes from a parasitic plant that contains paralysis effect.

we found the said plant extremely fast ,it was halfy size. a blue-ish thorny plant that attacks people with its paralyzing ability .It was a 700 yr old plant.

the fight was well fought and quite easy for Tang san because of hus jade hands and Tang arts while accompanied with Bind ability.

he absorbed the ring and broke through to level 21 . every one comgratulated him.

After that we went for Canes Spirit ring , arrived in front of a 1000 yr old big ass cat that had sharp claws and a thorny back.

" Its an Thousand thorns Cat ..but it is not possible to absorb its ring even.if we can defeat it. it is 1000 yr old" said Master Yu

"NO ,I CAN .. I can absorb it ," said Cane as he clutched his hands on to his bladedrawing it

he took a step forward as master yelled at him,"STUPID ONE CANNOT DO SO ,IT IS PURE SUICIDE YOU CAN ONLY ABSORB A 700 yr OLD RING AS YOUR SECOND RING"

"I CAN .. the spirit told me to trust it ...he told me I can do it" said Cane

"WHAT SPIRIT..WAIT....you can talk to your spirit ..how can that be nobody has ever done it before ..its insane talking to a spirit ..is it alive" said Master Yu with worry ,surprise and disbelief written all over his face.

"Just beacuse you have never seen it before doea jot mean it cannot happen " said Cane as he jumped at the beast

"I will distract it remeber just like last time...ok"

I said as we both came to a mental agreement,between the two of us we did not even need to talk anynore to understand each others intention.

I shot some fire balls at the cat ,it tried to block one but instead got a good burn mark on itself while it dodged the other one .It became angry as the Cat started to charge at me , I waited for tge right moment and when it was right in front of me

SHADOW LOCK : Sleep

it got stuck in its place and not knowing what happend started to yawn until it started to sleep ,I released my ability thinking it was over when it angrily opened its eyes and lainched thos thorny blade like apendeges at me ,

I could not get out of the way in time thinking this the cat shiwed a victory smile which froxe when it saw my mocking expression but it was too late

KNIGHT's FURY : FIRE BLADE

the thorns all stopped in its place as Tang san used his skill bind while Cane came dashing and in a swoft slash took the life of the cat...I could see it growling in anger at me.

I could have used the pressure from my Spirit ring to make the cat submit but this would have.alerted a much stronger beast.

"ARE you sure you are going to do this..sigh just dont die okay" said Master Yu as he rubbed his temples.

Cane started to absorb his Ring. I gave the Master my Spirit dispersion herb as I wrnt to look for my own Beast ..in name only ...come my precious system.

««yes sir what would you like to buy today, »»

"Show me all the available50,000 yr old spirit rings which would give me an extra skill with which I.can hind the true colour of my rings."

«« Yes sir ,heree you go»»

~Wolf silver ghost :60,000 sp

~ Poison Mantis king:60000 sp

~Ice silk Worm:60000 sp

...

"System buy me the ice silk worm"

««as you wish Sir»»

A Black spirit ring started to form and came towarss me I sat down.in lotus position and started to absorb it

in a minute or so I completely absorbed the ring.

hmm cool so this is the skill I got from the ring now what about I unlocked from my own Spirit.

nice now I have four spirit abilities .let me try Imitation for a minute I summoned my rings and both of my rings turned to Yellow colour ,I then tried to blend into the environment , this is cool.

I went back to find Tang san and the others and found them at the same place.I.left them

"Where were you we were worried and by the way comgratulations on becoming a grandmaster " said Cane as he smirked,"You too" I said to him.

"Brother ji so what is your ability " said Tang san

I used my ability Imitation and summoned nine red colour rings ,the aura started to spread as various bird like veasts flew away from around me not being able to withstand the pressure while Grandmaster Yu said with horror written in his face,"MONSTER... who are you , a title douluo "

"Haha tis my new ability ,imitation I can replicate any peraons aura and everything perfectly and can hide my attacks ,my self ,or make illusion and change the number and colour of my rings,hehe" I said smugly as I folded my arms

"What kind of an beast did you hunt boy," said Master Yu as he still could not get his head around my ability

"It was a silk worm , " "wha...t a silk worm you say,"

"Ahahhaha Biss ji became more stronger but I am no less look at this valiant knights new ability with your heads open" he said as he got 50 meters back

KNIGHTS SWORD BARRAGE

Seven blades formed all around him at the same time and he threw them at fixed direction

they traveled in one direction of their own.and some hit the trees cutting it apart while some hit the boilders shredding them to bits.

"Haha how is it cool right ,these swords are made of spirit abd fire so Boss cannot use Shadow lock on them ehehehe" said Cane as he ruffled his own hair like a monkey.

as one starts to go up in levels ones base spirit starts to get stronger naturally which means his base ability also got strengthened by a lot.

hmm ....what is this gloves but I did not have any gloves on me wait these are a partof my real guard my real guard...

Master took my hands and checked my gloves

,"Congrats all three of you are able to form a part of your Real guard at grandmaster rank, todays meals are on me, lets go kiddos"

"Yayfree meal ,dont go back on your words master " Cane

"Looks like the master is really happy today,lets have a dual later on noth of you" Tang

"BRING IT ON EHHH" Said I and Cane altogether

then looked at each other( you too) in my our minds ,we did not need to speak to express our real intentions.
