8 The Protagonist of the Current Era

Three days later…

Ye Tian had gone through a lot during the last three days. Every day, Xu Yue had taught Ye Tian many things about the basics a Spirit Master from Xu Family needed to know. Starting from how to cultivate, absorb Spirit Rings from Spirit Beasts, then learning the basics of Xu Family martial arts.

Through Xu Yue's training, Ye Tian was able to see the great potential that humans in this world could reach. This was a feeling he had never experienced in his past life as a human.

Cultivation accumulated over thousands of years by Spirit Beasts, could be easily accumulated by talented Spirit Masters within a few years.

Then, after reaching the end of a certain rank, humans could absorb Spirit Rings from Spirit Beasts to continue their cultivation. And the stronger the defeated Spirit Beasts, the more power the Spirit Master would gain through its Spirit Ring.

Of course, there were certain conditions that needed to be met in order to absorb a Spirit Ring, and an age limit for Spirit Rings that Spirit Masters could absorb based on their rank.

Unfortunately, in the current era they had yet to successfully research the age limit of Spirit Rings that Spirit Masters could absorb.

As for martial arts, there are many variations. The Xu Family's martial arts focused more on defensive techniques, because the attributes of their Martial Spirit could increase their endurance and stamina during battle, which benefited them in long-term fight.

Ye Tian was extremely passionate when it came to learning martial arts even when he had not regained his memory, and due to that passion, he often practiced alone in the backyard of the village to learn some of the martial arts techniques that Ye Mo taught him.

At first, he didn't really know the reason why he was so passionate about martial arts, but after his memory returned, he began to understand that it was due to his survival instincts during his time as a Spirit Beast.

However, during the last three days, the most shocked person was none other than Xu Yue, she never expected that Ye Tian was such a genius. Everything she taught, could be comprehended by Ye Tian within a few days, especially regarding martial arts.

If Xu Yue could classify Ye Tian's talent, then she would classify him as a monster.

She wouldn't have believed that Ye Tian was only six years old if she hadn't see him being frightened before when he saw her fighting some Spirit Beasts maniacally.

Along the way they had arrived at a certain barren land.

"We finally arrived" said Xu Yue as she looked at the map that she brought.

Ye Tian looked around as he saw that there wasn't a single Spirit Beasts in this deserted place and confusedly asked:

"Where are we?"

"Halt!!" Xu Yue stopped Ye Tian before he takes another step

Suddenly…

*RUMBLE-RUMBLE*

*SWOOSSHHH*

*BOOM*

An earthquake happened and a giant worm jump out from under the ground right in front of Ye Tian and back into the earthen hole.

"That worm really doesn't know how to welcome its guests" Xu Yue smirked as she pulled Ye Tian behind her back.

Giant Quake Worm with the size of 40 Meters long, from its size, it was classified as 40.000-year-old Spirit Beast. It was a type of trap worm that would wait underground until its prey was standing right on its surface and then immediately swallows its prey. It also has the ability to create earthquakes and suctions

Although the place was quite deserted on the surface, but underground was actually where most of the Spirit Beasts lived.

And this was the place where Xu Yue planned to look for Ye Tian's first Spirit Ring, a hundreds-year Quake Worm Spirit Beast.

*SHRIEEKK*

The sound of a Thunderclap Oriole was heard from a distance.

"Looks like there are other visitors besides us, let's take a look over there" Xu Yue said as she looks towards the source of the sound.

Ye Tian was too stunned by what just happened and followed Xu Yue from behind.

…

*SHRIEEKK*

The sound of a Thunderclap Oriole escaping from the Spirit Master who trying to hunt it down.

"Uncle are you alright?" said the black-haired boy as he approached his uncle.

The uncle smiled and said:

"I'm okay, I'm letting it slip because that bird has already reached 1000-year-old Spirit Beast, although it was unfortunate, it will only bring no good if you try to make it your as your first Spirit Ring"

The little boy nodded his head and said:

"I understand uncle"

Soon, on their way to search another Spirit Beast for the black-haired boy, they met a woman in black clothes and a boy following closely from behind.

The black-haired boy's uncle stopped and pulled out his hammer while pointing it at them, then said:

"Who are you?"

Xu Yue and Ye Tian took a step back, and then she told Ye Tian to stay close behind.

Xu Yue took a badge from her pocket and showed it from afar, and said:

"We are from Xu Clan, you must be from the Tang Clan judging by your Martial Spirit" then she continued. "We came here to see if we could cooperate together to search for Spirit Beasts in this place"

As Xu Yue introduced their identity, the boy's uncle nodded and put down his hammer, and said:

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience"

On the other hand, as Ye Tian saw that the situation had calmed down, he took a closer look at the black-haired boy.

Golden Light was shining brightly around the black-haired boy!!

This was an ability that Ye Tian had gotten after awakening his second Martial Spirit.

The ability to see other people's luck attributes based on how bright the golden light is around that person.

`He should be the Protagonist of this world!!` Ye Tian thought to himself.

As Ye Tian saw that Xu Yue and the uncle were still negotiating, he started to approach the black-haired boy.

And then he said:

"Hi, what's your name?"

The black-haired boy was slightly surprised and answered him:

"H-hello my name is Tang Chen of the Tang Clan"

*SWOOSSSHHH*
