Chapter 15 Spirit Ranks

Waking up to my brothers is always a treat, it may have taken a little bit of convincing but I got the dean to sign off on it, good job me for making such a good master.

Their large cheeks looks so pinchable, I want to do it but I can't. Hurting them is my bottom line, but I can always view their puffy white cheeks long blonde and short messy blue hair.

I haven't seen Little Tiger this relaxed since that nightmare, it may have distracted him but it was nightmare sent by that Church.

If she hadn't attached herself to Xiao Wu she would have died, The Church used to her to pay off that debt worth it's weight ten times in blood.

Having it obviously payed off as seeing that girl is very beneficial for them, I like her. If I didn't That Church would be burned, I don't even care I have to reveal most of my magic. It's worth it.

The girl being very good to both my brothers even if she's sent to take away Little Tiger she loves both of them equally.

Xiao Wu has someone who actually cares for him, mother and brothers not included because any good family member would care for their family.

And Little Tiger is slowing down, playing instead of trying to learn more every second, previously I was the only one that can pull him out of that mire.

But now, there is two. Twice as many people that can care for his growth mentally and physically.

As expected of someone who can steal my precious, adorable, burdened brother... What I was thinking about again? Oh right, how beneficial Jiang Xue is to my brothers.

Very ironic name as her hair is black rather than snow white.

I will need to up her value a bit, she might live past thirteen if she keeps this up. But then my brothers will be too attached, so I'll keep around until she breaks my brother's heart permanently. If she truly loves my brother it's ok.

Her background is irrelevant if she can keep my brother cared for and loved, that is the least I can expect. A spy finding love is common, hopefully.

My ability to delude myself is usually to-notch...

Bad and dangerous thoughts banished it'll be nice today, we have class in four hours.

I've been having some questions for the cultivation system of this world, but today I can get some of the less advanced doubts hammered out.

"Eh?" Nom! "Big Brother!" Oh, Xiao Wu is up, "Xiao Wu. " Picking him off my head and into my lap I start caressing his head gently.

Placing himself into my chest he starts hugging me, "En, Big Brother can we go meet up with Zhu Lu?" That two faced bitch, she tried to seduce my precious brother, thank god that failed, but she took advantage of my other adorable precious brother.

The exception this time is it worked, keeping my face calm I needed to think of a good excuse, ah! "Xiao Wu we can't meet with her today we have class today." Keeping my tone of coaxing a child I hope he'll act dumber.

Him being smart is endearing, but it's not a trait suitable for coaxing.

His eyes and small piece of his hair piercing up in defiance of gravity dropped down, "Oh, ok." My heart where have your defense went.

That's an arrow straight through my heart. I need to keep calm.

My eyes lowered I keep my head down, "Sorry but on the plus side, how I teach you a bit about how cultivation works?" Not sure if this would divert his attention but I have enough plans in reserve...

His head shot up and went in my face he nodded eagerly, "Xiao Wu ok, as I told you before The Spirit Master is divided into twelve Spirit Ranks."

Backing down and in front of me he sits on his knees, he nods his head, "The first nine is divided by ten Soul Force levels each, separated by a Spirit Ring."

Seeing him nod again I continue, "You know my master? Well he told me the cultivation I should know, we're heaven's children. We're blessed with Full Innate Spirit Power, starting at, the pinnacle of Spirit Scholar."

Seeing him nodding his head again I continue, "Normally each Spirit Rank would be separated by ten, Spirit Scholars can go to Soul Force 10 without a Spirit Ring, but instead of normally of letting you break through your peak."

"Each of us stays at Soul Force 10 when we break through, we stay at Rank 10, unlike 29 to 30 or 49 to 50. Do you understand this?"

"Now each level of Soul Force is a rank, as such I will refer to it like this starting from now."

He nods his head but seeing his eyes wonder I speed up to tell him more in shorter period of time, "Rank 1 to Rank 10 is Spirit Scholar. Rank 10 with a Spirit Ring to Rank 19 is Spirit Master, it's the rank when people consider you a true Spirit Master."

Having his attention snap back I slow down, "Rank 20 to Rank 29 is Spirit Grandmaster, Rank 30 to Rank 39 is Spirit Elder, our older brother held the title of youngest to achieve Spirit Elder at the ripe old age of thirteen."

"Yeah our older brother is amazing! He gave me cake and many gifts and he hugs me so much! He is almost better than you." My face is breaking I feel a chasm across it, it can't be healed, "I sorry Big brother your our best brother forever." I feel my face easing up a bit as I caress his head bit more.

Smiling I placed him down to catch my breath, when I'm done I continue my lesson, him sitting there as if he hadn't witnessed me sad over my title stolen.

"Rank 40 to Rank 49 is Spirit Ancestor, Rank 50 to Rank 59 is Spirit King, often Barons in our Empire but is likely viscounts in The Heavenly Dou Empire. Rank 60 to Rank 69 is Spirit Emperor. But Rank 70 to Rank 79 is a bit special."

Seeing him confused I went in to clarify, "When you have taken your seventh spirit ring you don't get a Spirit Skill, you get a Martial Avatar, your a Spirit Sage and this avatar is considered the true form of your Martial Spirit. Enhancing your strength from anywhere from fifty percent to a few times stronger."

"Spirit Rank 80 to Spirit Rank 89 is Spirit Douluo, nothing too special. Then we come to Spirit Rank 90 to Spirit Rank 99, a Titled Douluo. Everyone that have achieved this stage is apparently very lucky."

Seeing him focused when he's bored, it really warms my heart, "They're the people that truly deserve respect. Average Titled Douluo only ever achieved Rank 90 to Rank 94, most die at Rank 90 or Rank 94 because of old age."

Leaving out the killings and assassinations, he can know but only when he's mature enough. One burdened brother is enough, another would give me depression again.

"Each rank between the stages are a chasm hard to bridge, every rank doubles your combat power." Turning his head to the side and somehow morphing his hair into question mark I take a deep breath.

Too cute, "Combat power is different from strength or agility, combat power is your ability to do combat, combat power is a variety of things like strength operated together to fight, as such usually middle aged cultivators are considered in their prime."

"They have both the experience and cultivation to back it up." Having him back to listening attentively I continue further.

"Each Titled Douluo are a piece of the backbone that is the military, every country takes extreme care when grooming one. The true geniuses surpass mediocrity and are geniuses among geniuses."

"They achieve Rank 95 and become a Super Douluo, their strength is greater but the mainstay is their battle power is quadruple as much, even if it's only twenty percent in each attribute they can fight those a stage below them with ease."

"But likely the enhancement is more then that, depending on the talent of the Spirit Master in question they can have their battle power grow more than quadruple. Eight-fold if their someone like Tang Sen, The Founder of The Tang Sect."

"Past that point is Rank 96 and those that achieve this become an Extreme Douluo, you can count those that have achieved this currently with three pairs of hands."

"The chasm between this and the one before it is the difference between a normal person and Spirit Grandmaster."

"Reaching beyond this there are the god ranks, their Rank are 97 and are referred to Quasi Demi-God or Rank 10 Spirit Master. Demi-God or Rank 11 Spirit Master have a Rank of 98 and Quasi-God, Rank 12 Spirit Masters have Soul Rank of 99. The Quasi-Gods are also referred to as Limit Douluo, having reached the limit."

"My master has reached this stage but said he has no hope of surpassing it as beyond is Spirit Rank 100 when one becomes a god, as such he nurturing me in hopes of me beating it"

"My master don't have many records of this. Still their have been well known legend circulating about how Tang Sen's generation became a gods."

Seeing him focused with stars in his eyes is truly heart warming, he's just so cute, it's like every fiber of his being is filled with affection and warmth.

"Well Xiao Wu that's the end of it, we still have some hours left but we should wake up Little Tiger, keeping good habits while discarding bad habits is important to being a good person."

Nodding his head vigorously, "Thank you Big Brother!" He hugs me and moves to above Little Tiger, shaking him gently until he wakes up. I nod in approval of how cute it is. Observing them for a few more seconds I run off to the bathroom for a bath.
