4 chapter 3
FENG LIE POV
"Welcome back, grandpa. How was your conversation with the head of the village?" I asked my grandfather.
"Feng Lie... The village head and I discussed various issues and it has been decided that you will receive the scholarship place our village has for you to study at Nuoding academy in Nuoding city. Your classes will start next month ." my grandfather spoke.
"I got it Grandpa. I can hardly wait to become a spirit master." I spoke to grandpa with an excited expression.
"I'm glad I'm not going to the gym in the Spirit Hall." I thought as I let out an internal sigh.
There are still many things I don't know about this world and about spiritual masters, but one thing I'm sure of.
Level 9 Innate Spiritual Power.
From the reaction Su Yuntao had upon finding out about my innate spiritual power level it must mean that I must have a great talent and that because of that I would attract a lot of attention from other people.
The Spiritual Hall is the largest organization of spiritual teachers on the continent. Because of that, the academy of the spiritual hall must be one of the best academies for spiritual masters on the Douluo continent. And because of that I won't be able to act so freely with magecraft, as I wish to develop in secret.
Luckily I will go to Nuoding City Academy. That academy might be considered an insignificant academy in the eyes of the Douluo continent, but for me it's a good place to grow up in secret and improve my use of magecraft.
"Feng Lie, could you show me your martial spirit?" my grandfather asked me.
"Of course grandpa." I spoke while showing my martial spirit to grandpa.
"Oh... That martial spirit... These chains..." Grandpa started to cry.
Then suddenly he hugged me while crying.
It took a few minutes for grandpa to calm down.
"Grandpa, do you know what this chain is?" I asked.
"Feng Lie listen to me carefully. What I'm going to tell you is one of our family's greatest secrets. You can't tell anyone that, do you understand?" Grandpa spoke very seriously.
"I understand grandpa." I spoke.
Grandpa then went to check the windows of the house, he locked the door and the windows.
Grandpa then came to me.
"Feng Lie listen carefully, this story I'm going to tell you is something passed down from generation to generation in our lineage." my grandfather spoke.
"This is the story about our great ancestor..."
SMALL TIMESKIP
It's already night.
I'm lying on my bed thinking about the story Grandpa told me this afternoon.
"An ancestor who fought a divine dragon using a chain martial spirit and managed to force a draw."
"After the fight, the ancestor and the divine dragon had a long conversation. In the middle of that conversation, the dragon revealed about the conspiracy of the gods."
"Sigh"
"Master, aren't you going to the workshop today?" Luxon asked me.
"Not today. A lot happened today." I spoke.
"Luxon..." I said.
"Yes Master?" Luxon asked.
"Luxon, I want you to research the spiritual rings. And if possible create a method " I said to Luxon.
Ever since I heard about the spiritual masters through Luxon's investigations, I've found the spiritual masters weird. After all they need to get a spirit ring every 10 levels, if they don't add a spirit ring they will never advance to the next level.
Before I couldn't understand why the world was so strange, but now I understand. This is all part of the gods' conspiracy plan of the gods.
To obtain a spirit ring it is necessary to kill a spirit beast, the higher the cultivation level of the soul beast, the better the quality of the spirit ring will be. It can be said that while the Spirit Beasts exist the spiritual masters will prosper, but when the beasts of soul are extinct what will happen to the spiritual masters?
Probably when the soul beasts are extinct and there are no spiritual rings around it will be the time when the gods will appear in the world and offer spiritual rings, however the only ones who will receive the spiritual rings will be those who become their devout believers.
People on the Douluo continent see spiritual masters as a noble profession, but I don't see it that way.
To me spiritual masters are slaves to the rules of the world. Spiritual masters who were born in large clans are very restricted after all martial spirits are also influenced by bloodline, children who were born in these clans often end up inheriting the same martial spirits and because of that they are often not free to choose their love life. And if a person's talent in cultivation is very low, then that person will live a shitty life.
Thinking back, I feel lucky to have been born into this village and not have to go through all that big clan hassle.
"Understood master, I will certainly fulfill your expectations." Luxon replied.
After that I went to sleep.
"In this new life of mine I won't let anyone else control... And if the gods cause me trouble... Then I have no choice but to destroy them."
GU YUENA'S POV
In the center of the Star Dou forest.
Inside a cave.
It's been 2 weeks since I woke up from the awakening of those currents.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready."
I turned towards the voice I heard. In that direction there were two people.
A middle-aged man wearing a black tunic with gold thread, he has long black hair with golden streaks hanging down, deep, sharp golden pupils as well as a body of at least 6 feet tall with broad shoulders.
This man is Di Tian, at this moment he is in his human form but his true form is that of a black dragon with golden eyes. After me he is the most powerful spirit beasts there is.
"I see. Di Tian, I'm sorry I lost you twenty thousand years of cultivation, but this is necessary." I told Di Tian.
"Majesty, you are the Silver Dragon King, any order you give this Di Tian will do." Di Tian spoke as he knelt.
"I see. Now about you…" I said as I looked at the other person standing next to Di Tian.
A 6-year-old girl. She has long blue hair and blue eyes like a sapphire. This little girl was originally a Spirit Beast. His actual age as a spirit beasts is five thousand years but his cultivation level has reached the level of 80 thousand years. To ensure that she reached the 100,000-year level I ordered Di Tian to transfer 20,000 years of her cultivation to her.
"Take this necklace." I spoke as I handed her a simple necklace. On this necklace were three silvery scales.
"This necklace has three of my scales, each scale has a function. The first scale has the function of hiding your beast's aura, even so-called douluos will not be able to perceive your true form."
"The second scale will show where the current child is. Most likely that child must have spiritual energy and therefore he will study at an academy of spiritual masters, you should enroll in the same academy and become close to that child."
"And the third scale has been imbued with the space element, with this scale you can teleport back to Star Dou forest, if possible you should bring the child here, I want to meet him and talk to him."
"Do you understand everything you must do?" I asked the little girl.
"Yes, Wang Qiu'er understands the importance of the task and will return successfully." the little girl spoke as she knelt down.
