Chapter 3: Clear Sky Elemental Guqin
Tang Jiyao opened his eyes, only to see a beautiful guqin.
The guqin has black-red color with a standard shape of an ordinary guqin. The guqin's difference to an ordinary guqin is the aura surrounding it.
'Clear Sky Elemental Guqin... Ahh... It's been so long since I've found a worthy spirit. Understand the difference between the guqin and the different musical instruments and you shall be rewarded.'
Tang Jiyao heard an old man-like voice in his mind. Tang Jiyao tilted his head, confused.
Who is that?
Tang Jiyao wondered.
But,wow... A guqin!
Tang Jiyao shouted excitedly in his mind, forgetting the strange voice.
Tang Jiyao is a genius in terms of music in his past life. He's a once in a Thousand years genius. Tang Jiyao tried many music instrument in his past life but the guqin is the instrument that strikes him the most.
Tang Jiyao sat on the floor and tried to play his martial spirit.
"Ahem, Before that what would you like to call your martial spirit?." Su Yuntao said hesitantly.
This is the first time Su Yuntao encountered this kind of spirit.
'It seems like a music instrument?'
"Ohhh... hehe." Tang Jiyao akwardly scratched his head then chuckled, embarassed.
Tang Jiyao put his hand on his chin, thinking what's the suitable name for his spirit.
'Clear Sky Elemental Guqin'
A voice inside his mind said, this time he feels like it came from his spirit.
"Clear Sky Elemental Guqin." Tang Jiyao announces proudly.
The people in hall just looked at him strangely.
"Ahemm, let's check your innate spirit power." Su Yuntao said handing the blue crystal ball.
Tang Jiyao place his hand on the crystal.
The blue crystal ball shines, indicating the presence of a spirit power.
"Heavens, innate full spirit power!" Su Yuntao shouted excitedly.
"Ahhm, mister?" Tang Jiyao called, getting the attention of Su Yuntao. "Whats, innate full spirit power?" Tang Jiyao tilted his head, confused.
Su Yuntao forcibly calm his beating heart then explain.
"The battle spirit cultivation consists of ten levels, those are Spirit Scholar, Spirit Master, Spirit Grandmaster, Spirit Elder, Spirit Ancestor, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Sage, Spirit Douluo and Title Douluo. In those levels we need to pass ten rank to breakthrough another level. Every tenth rank, a person need a spirit ring in order to advance to the next rank. When a child awaken his/her spirit he/she will autumatically be a Spirit Scholar as long as he/she have spirit power. Innate full spirit power means that your spirit power is on peak Spirit Scholar or in the tenth rank only needing a spirit ring to breakthrough to be a Spirit Master."
"What's a spirit ring, mister?" Tang San asked, now fully comprehending the stages of cultivation in this world.
"A spirit ring comes from a spirit beast. In order to get a spirit ring you must first kill a spirit beast and absord the spirit ring towards your martial spirit. Each spirit ring will grant you a spirit skill." Su Yuntao further expound.
"Wow... So now I can get a spirit ring?" Tang Jiyao ask excitedly, hopeful.
"Yup, thats the biggest advantage of having an innate full spirit power, no longer needing to cultivate in order to attain the 10th rank." Su Yuntao explained indulgently.
'If I can makes this kid join the Spirit Hall, I can recieve massive benefits.'
Su Yuntao thought excitedly.
"Kid, do you want to join the Spirit Hall?" Su Yuntao asked. "We can give you enormous benefits."
"Woww...Will I get money?" Tang Jiyao asked, excited of the prospect of having money.
"Of course, not only that but Spirit Hall will help you on your cultivation journey." Su Yuntao proclaimed, wanting to bait his prey, like a certain story where a wolf keep tricking a little girl who like to wear a red robe.
"Ahem... Xiao Yao, let's talk about it with father later." Tang San interrupted with a cough.
Tang Jiyao awaken from his excitement just nodded happily."Uhuumm!"
Su Yuntao being interrupted, does not look happy but seeing Tang Jiyao listen to Tang San made him calm down.
"Your next." Su Yuntao said excitedly.
Su Yuntao expects Tang San to also awaken a potential top-tier grade martial spirit just like his brother, Tang Jiyao.
Tang San stepped up, then Su Yuntao started the awakening ceremony.
Tang San feels a warm breath permeated into the body, and he distinctly notice that his own Mysterious Heaven Skill internal power seemingly fluctuated.
Tang San subconsciously lifted his right hand, he saw something blue. This type of blue had already appeared twice at the village's Spirit Hall that day.
Blue silver grass, exactly identical to the eighth child's blue silver grass. The standard for useless spirits.
Su Yuntao saw a great quantity of golden flecks of light that appeared, at first it gave him a great deal of expectations that another top-tier grade martial spirit will awaken, but unexpectedly it was merely blue silver grass, the sense of disparity caused Su Yuntao to feel somewhat in a bad mood.
"Again a useless spirit. It seems only one child has awaken with a potential to undergo battle spirit cultivation.
Tang San saw Su Yuntao already wanted to pack up that blue crystal ball, and hurriedly reminded him.
"Mister, you still haven't check my innate spirit power."
"No need to test. Blue silver grass, this kind of useless spirit, I have never seen one instance where spirit power appeared." Su Yuntao said without looking back.
"Let my brother try, mister!" Tang Jiyao angrily shouted.
Su Yuntao reminding himself the benefits of having the goodwill of Tang Jiyao relented.
"Fine, but don't expect anything." Su Yuntao said comprisingly.
Tang San smiled at Tang Jiyao then nodded at Su Yuntao then place his hand on the crystal.
"Another innate full spirit power!" Su Yuntao shouted shock at the history his seeing.
"Hehe, I know my brother is a genius like me!" Tang Jiyao smugly said.
Tang San just smiled at his brother while thinking.
Why do I feel another spirit?
