Xiao Wu

Tang Feng went to dormitory room 5, which was the room for normal students of the college. "Hello, are you new student too? My name is Zhao Chong, Beast Spirit Golden Bull." a six-year-old child in luxurious clothes extended his hands.

Tang Feng shook his hands and said "Tang Feng, Tool Spirit Azure Bow. Nice to meet you." Both of them chatted as they went to the cafeteria. Tang Feng was happy to make his first friend in school. After having a hearty dinner, they just exited the cafeteria building when they saw Tang San along with a group of boys and a girl going to the cafeteria.

"Brother, are you going to the Cafeteria too? The food here is quite delicious!" said Tang Feng with a smile. "Yes, Xiao Feng, meet Xiao Wu! She is the big sister of our dormitory!"

Xiao Wu is a very beautiful, young girl with a rosy face. She has a fair skin and a soft appearance that resembles a completely ripe honey peach. She has beautiful long legs. Her brown long hair is combed into a scorpion braid.

"Hello Big Sister. Please take care of my brother" Tang Feng bowed to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was very happy to see this little brother who was so well behaved. She rubbed Tang Feng's head and said "Xiao Feng, don't worry! I will take good care of Xiao San. And tell me if someone bullies you. I will beat them till they can never walk properly again!"

"Thank you big sister" Tang Feng thanked Xiao Wu again, somewhat afraid and hurried back with Zhao Chong.

Late at night, in the master's office, Tang Feng and Tang San sat cross-legged on the ground, and the master patiently taught them about the spirit beast and martial spirits.

"Then we will set off tomorrow, go to the hunting forest, first hunt the spirit ring for Xiao San, and Xiao Feng!"

Grandmaster decided to set off immediately, not inclined to waste their time on welcome ceremony of Nuoding Academy.

In the early morning of the next day, they didn't even attend the opening ceremony. Grandmaster hired a carriage directly to take Tang Feng and Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest in Nuoding City. On the way to the forest, Grandmaster gave Tang San an essence storage tool which Tang San named Twenty Four Moonlight Bridges. Tang Feng already had his own essence storage tool which Tang Hao gave him, so it was only natural that this one was given to Tang San.

In the forest, the originally dispirited expression in Grandmaster's eyes abruptly cleared, both hands held close to the chest, again quickly separated below,

"Come out, Luo San Pao."

With a puffing sound, a faint purple thread of spirit power separated from Grandmaster's both palms. Tang San and Tang Feng only felt Grandmaster release a burst of fluctuating spirit power from his whole body, and before him already appeared a creature.

Unmistakably, this creature, it would seem, had an appearance much like a dog, but its bulk was more like a hog. More than one meter fifty in height, and its waist measurement should be something similar.

Its entire body had pale purple fur, two small drooping ears, a pair of deep blue big blinking eyes, and the expression in its eyes very gentle. As the fat body swayed once, the fatty buttocks immediately swayed side to side. Four stocky little legs made it hard to imagine just how slow it moved.

On top of its head was a bulging, spherical, unknown something. As it appeared, running over towards Grandmaster, and using that head to rub against Grandmaster's leg.

Under Grandmaster's feet two rings of light rose up, moving back and forth over him. Both rings of light appeared yellow, obviously hundred year spirit rings.

"Grandmaster, this is your spirit?"

Tang San shocked said:

"But, don't animal spirits manifest attached to the body? Why does it..."

Before speaking about what kind of creature Luo San Pao was, Grandmaster's spirit obviously went beyond the limits on the spirit beast category.

Luo San Pao obviously somewhat dissatisfied, made two luoluo calls towards Tang San.

In Grandmaster's expression appeared a trace of bitterness,

"Because, my spirit is a variant spirit. Remember what you and I spoke about spirit variation, San Pao is just that. Only, its variation clearly is in a bad direction. When it only just awakened, my spirit power level was only a half rank. Otherwise, how could things be as they are? Even if I again made the effort, breaking through thirtieth rank spirit power is impossible in this lifetime, so in the end I can only study spirits in theory."

Before when Tang San heard those rumours about Grandmaster, he knew that Grandmaster was a persistent person. Regarding spirits he was as persistent as he himself was regarding hidden weapons. This was also why Tang San had never regretted acknowledging Grandmaster as his master. Perhaps, this was talent appreciating each other.

"I'm sorry, Grandmaster, for raising your old painful memories."

Grandmaster laughed at himself and shook his head,

"It's nothing, I became inured long ago. Come, I'll introduce you to San Pao. The reason for its name is because it calls out a luoluo sound, and its attack can only be launched three times. Therefore it's called San Pao."

"San Pao, first open up a path ahead."

"Luoluo."

Fat Luo San Pao looked pleased with itself and walked forward. Although the body was a bit fat, when seeing it move it could also be called nimble. Moving from one side to the other sniffing at something.

All over Grandmaster's body spirit power light was glimmering. Bringing Tang San and Tang Feng to follow Luo San Pao, they moved along deeper into the forest.

"San Pao's sense of smell is very acute, capable of discovering tracks of spirit beasts and how strong they are. Although it has become small and weak because of variation, regarding spirit power the consumption is also very small. Therefore I can release it outside for a long time. These is for you two. You must make the last attack that kills the spirit beast yourself."

Grandmaster fumbled out from the breast two magnificent short sword and handed them to Tang San and Tang Feng.

Walking not far away, Luo San Pao abruptly came to a stop, the pair of big eyes looking in one direction, mouth emitting two luoluo calls.

An animal looking a bit like a cat appeared in the direction of its gaze, lying in a tree, guardedly watching Grandmaster and the two children.

Grandmaster coldly smiled, saying:

"It's a ten year multicolored cat. San Pao, don't disturb it. Continue ahead."

Grandmaster never forgot to instruct his students. While continuing walking, he said:

"That multicolored cat just now belongs to the cat family of spirit beasts. Its offensive nature is very powerful, but provided you do not first attack it, it also will not easily start an attack. If a spirit master has a cat family beast spirit, using it for one's first spirit ring is not a bad choice. You must not think of that multicolored cat as that small; if it was a more than thousand year multicolored cat, let alone us, even more than ten times our number could not kill it."
