Chapter 2
Part 1
Old Jack clearly answered Tang San patiently. In his heart, the most intelligent village boy was none other than this Tang San. It's really hard to imagine that such a father could have such a smart child.
"Spirit Grandmaster is a Spirit Master rank. Spirit Master is the noblest calling in our Douluo continent: they can be formidable champions, they can have extraordinary mentoring abilities. But no matter which type of spirit teacher, everything was sorted and given a title."
"Master Spirits all have their own spirit power. Based on the intensity of spirit power, this was divided into ten common titles. Each title is further divided into ten ranks. Originally after only passing through the doorway, one was called a Spirit Scholar. Once a spirit awakened, everyone was a spirit scholar. In the event that spirits are able to cultivate, when spirit power reaches the eleventh rank, one can enter the next title, which in this case is the Spirit Master. And the Spirit Grandmaster, it was the third in this order of titles. After reaching the Spirit Grandmaster realm, that was already a quite famous Spirit Master. There are a total of ten like this. "
[1] . This is precisely where our Douluo Continent's name comes from . It is said that when attaining the power of a ninetieth ranked Title Douluo, one can take a title for oneself . They are simply unparallel explanations, ah!" "Spirit Scholar, Spirit Teacher, Spirit Ruler, Spirit Elder, Spirit Ancestor, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Sage, Spirit Douluo, and Douluo Degree [1] . This is where the name of the Douluo Continent comes from. It is said that when it reaches the power of a Ninety-ranked Title Douluo, one can take the title for himself. They were simply unrivalled existences, ah! "
His eyes shone with a proud light,
"One hundred years ago our Holy Spirit village produced the eighth Sage Spirit, ah. In all Nuoding cities, even in the entire Fasinuo region, this was extremely rare."
To the side Tang Hao curled his lips,
"Old Jack, it's just a legend, nothing more."
Deliberately rubbing it the wrong way, Old Jack became enraged,
“What do you call a legend? This legend comes from facts. Tang Hao, it has been six years since you came to the village, you should realize that Spirit Sage is a part of our history. If you let me hear you insult the Spirit Sage Master again, I will drive you out of the village. Is that not for little San, you think I want to come to your dog house, huh? "
Tang Hao was not angry, still banging on the farm tool in his hand, still looking as if he had not heard Jack's words.
Jack firmly glared at her, and faced Tang San, saying:
"You shouldn't take after a desperate father in the future. All right, I'll go first, and in three days, I'll pick you up. ”
After he finished speaking, Old Jack left the smithy angrily.
"Dad. ”
Tang San called out.
"Nh?"
Tang Hao coldly glanced at him. Looking coldly in his father's eyes, Tang San could only swallow back his words. He returned to his room with his head drooping to continue fighting for ten thousand swings.
As night fell, after dinner, Tang Hao wiped his mouth and was about to leave as usual; it could be said, this was routine; go drink and drink the cheapest beer.
"Dad. Wait a minute . ”
Tang San, with no time to clean the dishes, first called to stop Tang Hao.
"What?"
Tang Hao impatiently glared at her. Although Tang Hao had never hit Tang San, for some reason, Tang San naturally harbored fear towards this father. For people with these two lifetimes, it cannot change these feelings.
“Ten thousand of those blows, I've finished forging them. ”
Tang San said.
"Oh?"
The look in Tang Hao's eyes was extremely brilliant, as if it had some luster.
"Take that for me to see. ”
"Good . ”
Tang San ran back to his room. Very quickly, he dashed out while holding a piece of iron in his hand.
The entire lump of iron was pitch-black, and although it was irregular in shape, each side appeared extremely brilliant, a black light faintly appeared within it. The entire piece of iron was about a quarter of its original size, and when Tang San used the Mysterious Heaven skill to hold it in, he did not feel tensed in any way.
Tang Hao took a piece of pitch-black iron into his hand, raising it before his eyes to carefully study it,
"Do you now understand what I'm saying?"
Tang San nodded, though,
“When forged into steel, metals of inadequate quality are once purified through continuous forging, it turns into high grade. Dad, do you want to tell me this principle? "
Tang Hao realized that lately, his son made him a little astonished. Returning the piece of iron to him, he said:
"Then, continue. After finishing forging the size of a fist, bring it back to me. ”
Finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the house.
According to what he originally said, after forging that lump of iron ten thousand times he would teach Tang San to forge, but now he seemed to have returned on his promise. But Tang San did not take this into account, he only thought of Tang Hao's words.
"Fist size?"
This huge lump of iron, could it really be forged the size of a fist? Although it was only a quarter of its original volume, Tang San was still very clear that along with the continuous forging, as the lump of iron became increasingly concentrated, reducing the volume also became increasingly difficult. Thinking of embalming it into fist size alone, it really could not be completed with ten thousand more blows.
After being angered into steel, what would it be after ten thousand more blows? A glittering light flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he slightly staggered as he deftly entered his room.ting ting dong dong hammering noises, once more rose from the smithy . Immediately, ting ting dong dong hammered a voice, once again rising from the workshop.
Three days passed very quickly, Tang San still went to the top of the hill in the morning to do his regular practice every day, and returned home afterward. In addition to cooking, he also forged, testing his strength against that piece of pig iron. Every day the tempo of the beats increases. The Mysterious Heaven Skill helped him recover his physical strength quickly, so that he could specifically maintain this continuous forging process.
“San small, grandpa came to pick you up. ”
Old Jack timely came to the smithy, this time he did not even enter, only calling Tang San from outside.
Tang San glanced at his father by his side who had just eaten. Tang Hao indifferently said:
"Go. Do not delay cooking during the day. ”
Section 2
Tang San promised to return soon, then left the workshop.
With old Jack in the lead, Tang San followed him to the Spirit Hall in the middle of the village. Naturally, this so-called Spirit Hall was merely a huge log cabin, nothing more.
Because everyone has a spirit, every year there must be children who experience the resurrection of the spirit. Because of this, Spirit Spaces could be found everywhere in the Continent. Of course, these were all just additional halls, there were different hierarchies.
The village children did not have a good opinion of Tang San. To side with the rich and belittle the poor was an ability not only among nobles, among ordinary people the circumstances were even more different. With Tang San who was originally a reincarnated person and his actual age was already far more than 30 years old, of course he also did not want to get in touch with these children. To him, leisure time was better spent cultivating, as a result, he naturally never had a childhood playmate.
Other than the village elder, Jack and the eight children present, there was also one young man in the Spirit Hall. This person seemed to be over 20 years old, his dashing brows slanted over the starry eyes, his face was extremely bright and handsome. He was wearing a brilliant white outfit, a black robe on his back, and right in the middle of his chest, above his heart, was a palm-sized 'spirit' character. This was the standard attire for staff who were directly under the Spirit Hall.
On the left side of the chest was a carved badge with three crossed long swords. It seemed like Jack knew this kind of Spirit Master well; the three people represented the third level Spirit Master, titled Spirit Grandmaster, and the long sword representing this Hall Spirit servant was the Battle Spirit Master.
“Greetings, esteemed Battle Spirit Grandmaster, this time we will make you uncomfortable. ”
Old Jack bowed respectfully to the young man.
The center of the forehead of the children betrayed indifferent arrogance. With a slight bow, he finally returned the greeting,
“My time is rare, let's start. ”
Old Jack said:
"Very good . Children, this is the War Spirit Grandmaster from Nuoding City. Next, He will guide you to open up to your spirit. You must work well with a great teacher to do your spirit awakening; grandfather hopes to see who among you has the ability to become a Spirit Master. ”
The young man was somewhat impatient to say:
“Alright, you said the same thing last year. Do you think becoming a Spirit Master is that easy? I have already passed through six villages, and none of them have any spirit power. They also have no suitable spirits. ”
Old Jack's eyes showed a trace of sadness, sighing, he said:
"Yes ah! Only one of the many had inherited the talent to actually become a Spirit Master. Among us ordinary people, this is indeed the most difficult. ”
Shaking his head, he moved away from the Spirit Hall.
The young man's gaze fell on the eight children in front of him. As a Spirit Hall inspecting attendants, helping ordinary people undergo spirit awakening was his mandatory duty, and he had long gotten used to it.
“Kids, queue. ”
Against these children, his attitude was quite lukewarm.
The eight children stood consecutively before the youngster, Tang San standing on the far left side. He was a little thinner and smaller than other children his age.
The young man smiled and said:
“I am called Su Yuntao, the twenty-sixth rank Spirit Grandmaster, and will be your guide. Now, I will ask you to undergo a spirit awakening one by one. No matter what happens, don't be afraid. ”
As he spoke, Su Yuntao opened the package on the table on one side, taking out two things from within: six pitch-black stones and one sparkling blue crystal ball.
Su Yuntao placed the six black stones on the ground in a hexagon shape, then moved the first child on the right to stand inside.
“Do not be afraid, close your eyes and feel carefully. ”
As he spoke, Su Yuntao's eyes suddenly lit up, and in front of the shocked eyes of the children, he shouted in a heavy voice, saying,
“Lone Wolf Body Enhancement. ”
A wisp of thin blue-green light rose from between his eyebrows, following straight up, into the knot of hair.
Su Yuntao's hair was originally black, but after that greenish-blue light entered, it turned gray in an instant. Moreover, the hair quickly grew longer, and the same colored fur appeared on both of his open hands. At the same time, his body also seemed to expand a lot compared to before, his entire body was swollen with muscles.
The Spirit Hall's attire had excellent elasticity; it actually did not tear when it filled up to burst as its body grew large. Su Yuntao's eyes had already turned into a faint green color. Sharp claws stretched out from the ten fingers on both hands, glistening coldly with a dazzling radiance. Two circles of concentric light shone brightly from under the feet, constantly moving from under the feet to the top of his head. Among them one is white, the other yellow. Very quaint.
The boy whom he had told to stand among the black stones, with eyes staring at Su Yuntao's changed body, suddenly shouted, shouting,
"Aaaaah ~~", will run from fear.
The fresh green radiance in Su Yuntao's eyes was truly terrifying. Catching the boy, he said:
"Don't move. I said don't be afraid. This is my spirit, Lone Wolf. If one of you is able to become a spirit teacher in the future, they will also be able to use the same ability. ”
The only one who was not immediately at the pinnacle of terror was Tang San, a result instantly appearing throughout Su Yuntao's body as he changed.
'Grey fur appeared all over him, green eyes, these really are wolf characteristics, could it be that after spirit possession people transform into wolves? Instead of astonishment, Tang San's heart was filled with curiosity, 'Grey feathers appeared all over his body, green eyes, this is truly the characteristic of a wolf, could it be that after the possession of the spirit people turned into wolves? No, not right, he should have wolf abilities, right. Then, in the spirit teacher's call, there should be a better use of spirit abilities. '
For the first time, Tang San realized, he became interested in the call of the spirit teacher. He was now a bit impatient to know what his own spirit was.
As Su Yuntao clapped his hands, with lightning speed, six dim green lights flowed into the black stones on the ground. At once, a layer of golden misty light was released from the rock and rose up.
Section 3
For some reason, when the previously noisy and crying child was enveloped in a golden light, he immediately became silent, only standing somewhat pale there.
Every speck of golden light came fluttering from the black stones, increasingly entering the body of the boy.
"Pull your right hand."
Su Yuntao's two green eyes stared fixedly at the boy, commanding gracefully.
The boy reached out his right hand in shock, then stopped. All specks of light appeared, the instant the scythe appeared in his hand.
Will appear, the scythe is not a trick of the light, and instead it really exists.
Su Yuntao furrowed his brows,
"It's a Spirit Tool. Can a sickle be considered a weapon? It has to be with great effort."
The golden light gradually disappeared. The boy, who was somewhat amazed, looked at the not-so-small scythe in his hand, somewhat confused.
Su Yuntao said:
"Your spirit is the Scythe, the Spirit of the Tool. Come on, let me test if you have spirit power. If you have spirit power, even a tool spirit can undergo a Battle Spirit Cultivation. After all, a scythe certainly has the potential for an attack."
"Good, great teacher, what should I do?"
The boy timidly asked.
Su Yuntao coldly said:
"Remember intentionally your spirit. From now on try to remember the time you used it and use that thought to call him."
The boy tried for a long time, only to remember the scythe. Su Yuntao's hand held the blue crystal ball in front of him, gesturing for him to put his right hand on it.
The little hand of the boy and the wolf claws of Su Yuntao above and below the crystal ball, there was a clear difference.
A moment later, Su Yuntao somewhat sadly said:
“No spirit power. You cannot be a Spirit Teacher. For now, move aside.
Similar scenes continued to play out, and one after five of their spirit children woke up. Their spirit was just a few axes, sickles, and such farming tools. In succession no Spirit Beast appeared, and for spirit power, all were judged by Su Yuntao as 'nil'.
When the seventh child's turn came, this was also the last one in front of Tang San.
After continuing to use spirit power, Su Yuntao seemed to have gotten somewhat tired, but he still intended to help the eight children complete the resurrection process.
Golden specks of light gathered, and once this, finally it was no longer a farming tool, and something different appeared. A small rod of light blue grass appeared on the palm of this girl, fluttering gently to and fro.
Tang San faintly felt that himself had seen this little blue grass before. Very quickly, the thought came to him; this grass was known as blue silver grass. It appeared everywhere in the village. Resembling the green grass of his native world, it was also widespread, except its vitality was even more tenacious. It doesn't really have any other function. Just because the girl was covered in layers of pale golden light, she did not recognize her at first.
Although it was not a farming tool, the disappointment in Su Yuntao's eyes was even clearer, though,
“It was a useless spirit. It had no potential to attack, had no defensive power, and had no helping ability. The blue silver grass was also considered a useless spirit standard. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out a blue crystal ball to the girl according to the procedure, and as he predicted, as before no spirit power appeared.
Finally it was Tang San's turn, Su Yuntao did not need to speak, he had already stepped forward to stand in the middle of the six pitch-black stones.
In line with the six streams of Su Yuntao spirit power flowing into them, a pale golden light once again shone brightly. Warmth, this was Tang San's first sensation, as if his entire body was wrapped in a comfortable and warm world, very comfortable. No wonder the children were previously able to smooth their emotions when wrapped in light.
Warm breath seeped into the body, and Tang San clearly became aware that his own Mysterious Heaven internal strength seemed to be fluctuating. Immediately after, in that warm energy traction, inside the body like something was breaking apart, in a split second a warm breath surged into his palm.
Su Yuntao's eyes suddenly shone, because within that golden light, there appeared so many golden spots that even exceeded what all the previous children had. He faintly sensed, as if a corresponding powerful spirit was about to appear. The joy shows his attitude.
Speaking of the Spirit Hall servants responsible for the awakening of the spirit of ordinary people, if they could raise up a potentially extraordinary child, then bring it to the Spirit Hall, he said, they can get many first-class benefits. With regards to being promoted it is very profitable.
But very quickly Su Yuntao was discouraged.
Tang San subconsciously raised his right hand, he saw something blue. This type of blue had already appeared twice in the village Spirit Hall that day.
The blue silver grass, was exactly the same as the previous girl's blue silver grass. The standard for useless spirits.
Su Yuntao had no choice but to say:
“Once again a useless spirit, it seems. The village of the Holy Spirit this time was again a waste of time. Ok, kids, you can go. ”
The sheer number of golden light spots that appeared, at first gave him a lot of hope, but when it ended unexpectedly it was only a blue silver grass, it was, the feeling of difference caused Su Yuntao to feel somewhat in a bad mood.
“Uncle, you still haven't let me undergo the spirit power test, have you. ”
Tang San looked at Su Yuntao already wanting to pack that blue crystal ball, and hurriedly reminded him.
Su Yuntao said without looking back:
“No need to test. The blue silver grass, for this useless spirit, I still have never seen a single instance where spirit power appeared. ”
"Let me try, uncle. ”
Tang San said continuously. When the golden light brought about a warm feeling within him, it produced a strange sensation, as if a huge door had opened and caused a subtle change in his Mysterious Heaven skill. At the same time, he was also very curious, what was the real difference between his inner strength and this world spirit.
Su Yuntao was suddenly dumbfounded, turning around, to Tang San's calm and somewhat stoic gaze. In his heart pondering, this child seemed to be unusual.
Section 4
"Very good . ”
Trying once can't waste much time. As he spoke, he handed the blue crystal ball to Tang San.
As before, Su Yuntao instructed to pull the blue silver grass from within the body. He realized, this was really not difficult; with regards to the control of the Mysterious Sky Skill it was similar to what a skill could achieve to attract. Simultaneously, he also discovered, as the blue silver grass appeared, it seemed that it was also his Mysterious Heaven skill devoting, and like that the blue little grass condensed through the Mysterious Heaven skill.
With his palm that was about to touch the blue crystal ball, Tang San's body violently trembled suddenly. He was surprised to find, that the seemingly extremely beautiful blue crystal ball unexpectedly had an overwhelming appeal, its inner strength surging as if finding a way out. He wanted to fight free, but no matter how he tried, he was unable to escape that strong attraction.
Su Yuntao was also amazed. To think that this situation would arise when this last spirit power test of the Holy Spirit village was taken. Suddenly, the blue crystal ball in his hand started to glow, a dazzling blue light started from the point that spread out in an instant. In the blink of an eye, this crystal ball looked like a sparkling gem that emitted a glittering light. A cold blue beacon pointed out, moving unspeakably.
In accordance with traditional tests, as long as the crystal ball gave some response, even a single trace of light, it would prove by tests that spirit power existed, as long as it did not, and at this moment the blue crystal ball was emitting such a dazzling light that there was only one explanation.
“Heaven, it's actually an innate spirit power. ”
A blue green light was released again from Su Yuntao's body, and a crystal ball shot out from Tang San's palm. At this moment, he saw before his eyes the gaze of this brat had already become quite different. It looks like a monster.
Tang San naturally also noticed that the situation was different from the other children's exams. Feeling uncertain, he asked:
"Uncle, what is the innate full spirit power?"
Su Yuntao looked at him blankly, and subconsciously explained:
“For everyone at the time of spirit awakening, regardless of spirit form, while deciding whether it is big and strong, the amount of spirit power is also very important. A large number of people at the time of the spirit awakening had no spirit power, like some children before this. They were destined to not be able to become spirit masters in their lifetime. But if spirit power appeared, even if it was just a little, anyone could undergo meditation cultivation. And at the time of spirit awakening, the amount of spirit power was crucial to setting the initial level of spirit master cultivation. With a higher level of spirit power, the level of cultivation obtained was greater. Moreover, due to its initial level, fundamentals would naturally also be practiced earlier than others. What is known as innate full spirit power is that at the time of spirit awakening, one is innately able to attain supreme spirit power. ”
"Highest spirit power?"
Tang San looked at Su Yuntao, his heart swirling. He did not know what his spirit power was, but it was certain, that the blue crystal ball testing absorbed his internal strength from the Mysterious Heaven skill. Could it be said that, his internal strength in this world turned into spirit power?
Perhaps it was because Tang San's innate full spirit power did not cause a small shock to Su Yuntao, but he did not mind taking the trouble to explain:
“Our spirit is rated like this: every ten ranks is a degree. After the resurrection of the spirit, one can automatically be known as a spirit scholar. Of course, only first-rate spirit scholars. According to the intensity of the spirit power it was divided into several ranks. What is meant by innate full spirit power is that upon awakening, the innate spirit power level is the tenth highest rank. I still had never encountered someone with full innate spirit power; originally when I woke up, I was also only a second rank spirit power, nothing more. ”
Tang San had already calmed himself down now. It was extremely difficult to find a true spirit master, so he was naturally unable to give up, and hurriedly asked his heart doubts, saying,
"Inborn spirit power can only rank tenth? Couldn't be higher? "
The blue green light around Su Yuntao's entire body disappeared, attracting the possession of his spirit body, he said,
"Of course not . The strength of a spirit master could not be promoted that easily. During every advancement of the title, not only did the spirit power first have to reach the pinnacle of the title, furthermore one had to obtain a spirit ring. Without the spirit ring, even if you continue to make great efforts with cultivation, it is still impossible to enter the next title. Just like you are now, for you have attained Innate full spirit power. Therefore, if you want to continue promoting your Spirit Power, instead of meditation, you must first obtain the Spirit Ring. After getting into the lower levels of the second title, you will be able to continue the cultivation of meditation. ”
Suddenly Tang San said:
“Spirit ring, like a halo around your body just now? You are ranked 26th, therefore have two spirit rings. ”
Su Yuntao nodded, saying:
“Persis like that. Your circumstances are extremely extraordinary, innate full spirit power is a rare once in a hundred years gift. Too bad, what a pity. Unexpectedly it was a useless spirit. Even if your spirit is only a farming tool, it will be stronger compared to the blue silver grass. Then I can …. . ”
He did not say more, but Tang San also vaguely understood its meaning, only in his heart, the covering sheath was lifted.
Tang San had always been a clever person of contemplation. In his previous life he was like that, in this life he was still like that. According to what Su Yuntao had said, in this case the spirit power was completely related to the internal power. That is, after arriving in this world, the cultivation of internal power became spirit power, and the reason why his Mysterious Heaven skill was unable to enter the secondary level, was precisely because of this so-called spirit ring. To be exact, if he wanted to further improve, he had to become like a spirit teacher in order to obtain a spirit ring. But what is a spirit ring?
Tang San properly thought about it before continuing to ask. But Su Yuntao had already picked up the package and left.
"Old Jack. ”
The door opened, Old Jack with a tense face went to meet Su Yuntao.
"Grandmaster, what do you think. Do the village children this year probably have the ability to become spirit teachers? ”
Su Yuntao looked at him, let out a sighing voice, and said:
“Someone did, just darling. ”
In Jack's eyes revealed an uncertain confused expression. Asking further, he asked:
"Grandmaster, that result is ……"
Su Yuntao said:
“This year among these eight children, only one has spirit power, and even the full spirit power is innate, it is too bad, his spirit is a blue silver grass. Youunderstand?"
“Blue silver grass? Innate full spirit power? Heaven. ”
On Jack's face was a sad expression that was much more grim compared to Su Yuntao. He who had been the village chief for so many years, naturally understood the importance of innate full spirit power. But this innate full spirit power appeared with a silver blue grass spirit; it was completely ……
"Grandmaster, blue silver grass really has no way of cultivation?"
Ask Jack with a frown.
Su Yuntao could understand Jack's old state of mind. Instead of his overbearing attitude earlier, patting old Jack on the shoulder, he said:
“This is not completely unable to grow crops. It's just that, you consider the blue silver grass to be in the spirit promotion level; what can evolution achieve? A useless spirit is ultimately a useless spirit. Even when he became a spirit teacher, he would probably become a useless spirit teacher. This innate full spirit power was truly a pity. Then, I will leave first, I still have to go to another village. ”
Su Yuntao ultimately did not wait for Tang San to continue asking, departing from the village. Without Su Yuntao, Tang San could only run to Jack outside, asking him his most pressing question,
“Jack grandpa, what is a spirit ring? How can one obtain a spirit ring? "
Old Jack, as if still thinking about Su Yuntao's words, subconsciously replied:
“I also don't know what a spirit ring is. In order to obtain the spirit ring, one seemed to have to hunt spirit beasts. This was an extremely dangerous task that only spirit masters were capable of. ”
