for the whole month, I kept practicing my Darkness spirit, I have gained good comprehension over my Darkness eyes. or whatever, it might also have something else that I will uncover later, Once I reach Spirit Leader or otherwise known as Spirit Ancestor rank I will be able to at least complete summon my full realguard, and at Spirit king level I will be able to manifest my Darkness spirit using essence,____
I also polished my spirit ability by using it against beasts, Cane, And other bullies and I am glad to. say I have made small improvement s, for starters, I can now even trap a spirit expert inside it for a while, in other words now I can trap someone who is one and a half rank.ahead of me.so someone at level 34 is a piece of cake for me.
I can also imbue my Dark fire into shadow lock or use it separately, although darkness can imbue its own effects into the Shadow lock, but more the merrier, while I.have also, reduced the essence consumption to half of what it was for Dark fire.
as for my final choice of weapon well I chose not one but two as I have two spirits you know, a staff and a sword.
Cane spends most of his time in the battleground as he has to get some experience cause he will be using arts to fight,daah
while I.have already reached level 20 and can fuse with another ring but will stop for another month or several months...system.is always right after all if it weren't for his pointers I would not have reached this far.
I gave Tang San a special metal that I said I found in. a pawn shop, although he was suspicious of me but still agreed to make Cane and me a cloth Armor with that.
this metal has the same toughness like that of a 1000 yr old Slitherback so it's very impressive, and coupled with Cane's ability it will be really useful to him. but he will still lose to me unless he learns some holy element and a powerful one at that. I told him that he can do whatever he wants with the rest leftover,
Today is the day he is supposed to give it to us in the afternoon, so I and Cane are waiting outside the academy grounds for him,
We waited for a while, and after about five minutes came Tangsan, waving at us from afar, "Hey, sorry it took so long"
and beside him was a man with white hair, a cap, and blue clothing, "Are you the ones my disciple talked about, hmm "
both of us gave a greeting bow as we said, "Students greets the teachers" well it is troublesome but we have to follow school rules for as long as we are inside.
he gave us a nod, while Tang san summoned two metallic-looking full body armor for us, that I asked him to make, its defense is really great, it can take strikes from a 2000 yr old beast well enough but might break.against their spirit ability.
I took it from him as I stored it in my inventory.
Shocking The grandmaster and Tangsan as I was not wearing any artifact,
"Anyways my disciple told me you both have some amazing Spirit ability, can I see it," said Grandmaster Yu.
I gave him a nod as I summoned my Darkness in my hands, and then at my eyes shocking even tang san.
"AMAZING it is a power type as well as a body type and I heard from My disciple that it showed a control skill, truly a class of its own," said Grandmaster Yu.
"Thanks for the compliment hehe," I said.
"No fair mine is a special one too see," said Anne as he activated his Spirit summoning a sword out of thin air while an eye guard became visible (ohh so his real guard is already becoming visible)
He also activated his spirit skill making steam come out of his sword as his power,defence, and agility increased.
"This is also new, I.have never seen such a spirit before, it is a new type, the image seems like a knight eh," said the Master again as he marveled at our ability.
"Say why don't the both of you study under me I can help you better understand your abilities and spirit, I am the greatest philosopher you know," said Yu as he was very excited, this is his field and he has in front of him to new abilities.
This is not a bad idea and I might be able to make my own ability like that."Disciple greets master" said Cane
seeing him, Grandmaster Yu waited for me,
aah. whatever, "Disciple greets Master,"
I said as I again gave a bow,
Just like that, we both trained ourselves, I kept meditating at night while master told us about all the kinds of beasts, their ages, how if I supposedly absorbed their hollows would unlock what Spirit ability and other things,
he gave us all the knowledge he had on him without any holding back which made me really grateful,
I was told to keep my spirit summoned all the time, and had to do some simple exercise s every day while Cane being a Unique type had to learn to hone his reflexes and to strenuous exercises all day,
I also asked him about some things I was not sure about like when does a real guard form fully and stuff like when one can cause the manifestation of his spirit.
at Spirit Grandmaster realm or Also known as Expert realm one starts to form his real guard
while at Spirit leader or after that one starts to form Manifestation.
He also made us three spars each other every day. Grandmaster Yu was really surprised by my body's toughness and agility, which must be because of my body evolution.
just like that a year passed away and my height has increased exponentially becoming the same as my original one.
Cane has reached level 18 while I am already at the Level 20 meaning I.have reached my limit.Tangsan.and Xia wu has also reached level 18.
Tangsan asked me if I had any more of that metal but I told him that I did not ...I will give it to him but it is still a bot early.
I also figured out my Darkness will cause a debuff of 10% at every five consecutive hits .along with the dizzy property.
Once I went into the jungle alone, when I wanted to test it and found out that other than that it also forms a pressure onto its target. I have also learned to imbue it onto objects .it can potentially corrode armors and blades,
I also showed master my 100,000 yr old spirit ring, looking at it he was completely surprised, it was a ring only thought to.be a legend. he asked me how I.was able to even absorb the ring to.which I. told him about how if the spirit before his death agrees to give you his spirit ring, then you can absorb it but must have a special constitution. I told him I am a hybrid which was a big lie.
it's not their fault cause they have not discovered the whole continent or have not even checked the whole Star dou forest.
just like that, another half a year passed and now I can pretty much possess five times my original spirit power. if I just learn to better use it then I am pretty much a power bank.
Master also told me about a very rare Spiritual herb known as, Dark lavender shoots it can further intensify and purify my heart, but he told me that the last stock was just bought at the Auction Hall by someone else.
So I asked the System to.buy me the same kind of herb.
it looks like a small sugar cane except its a dark color with red and green spots on it, further sprouting into ten branches,
I gave it to master, he was very surprised that I have this so I told him that it was picked by me in the forest, he was suspicious of me but chose to ignore it.
In two days' time he made the concoction, because one can absorb it raw but this way it would give double the effect and leas pain.
, "If you dont mind, can I also give some to your fellow brothers and sister," said master Yu
"Are you silly master. Of course why not, if it helps them that is" I said, why not it's free anyway.
"Thanks, brother Ji I will jot forget this favor," said Tangsan, lately they have all been calling me Ji or brother Ji or in Cane's case he calls me Boss Ji cause it beat him if he does not.
we each took a vial as we all sat in the lotus position and started to absorb the concoction.
after all the concoction was used I summoned dark. the fire around my hands and I could feel its intensity had increased three times. and in reverse, it became more aggressive meaning that it became harder to control.
Canes First spirit skill also had an improvement, while Tang San and Xiao wu also reached level 20 along with Cane.
"I think you guys would be youngest no. second youngest to ever become Spirit grandmasters relax for today, tomorrow we will visit the forest to lool for your spirit rings."
said Grandmaster Yu.
"Mater I have already gotten my own spirit ring so you guys can go," said Xiao wu, well she did not get her own ring rather she formed it herself if I remember correctly its name is Waist bow which increases her waist strength by 100% and toughness by 50%.
She showed us her new skill happily while fighting with well, Cane, I personally think she is a great opponent for him.
Grandmaster also said that Cane might experience an awakening at later stages.
~~~~~~~~~
Currently, we are standing in the middle inner region.of.this forest located beside the academy,
First off we will be looking for Tang sans spirit, I am pretty sure that it comes from a parasitic plant that contains a paralysis effect.
we found the said plant extremely fast, it was half size. a blue-ish thorny plant that attacks people with its paralyzing ability. It was a 700 yr old plant.
the fight was well fought and quite easy for Tang san because of his jade hands and Tang arts while accompanied by Bind ability.
he absorbed the ring and broke through to level 21. everyone congratulated.
After that, we went for Canes Spirit ring, arrived in front of a 1000 yr old big ass cat that had sharp claws and a thorny back.
" Its a Thousand thorns Cat ..but it is not possible to absorb its ring even. if we can defeat it. it is 1000 yr old" said Master Yu
"NO, I CAN .. I can absorb it," said Cane as he clutched his hands on to his blade drawing it
he took a step forward as master yelled at him, "STUPID ONE CANNOT DO SO, IT IS PURE SUICIDE YOU CAN ONLY ABSORB A 700 yr OLD RING AS YOUR SECOND RING"
"I CAN .. the spirit told me to trust it ...he told me I can do it," said Cane
"WHAT SPIRIT.WAIT....you can talk to your spirit ..how can that be nobody has ever done it before. it's insane talking to a spirit ..is it alive" said Master Yu with worry, surprise, and disbelief written all over his face.
"Just because you have never seen it before does not mean it cannot happen," said Cane as he jumped at the beast
"I will distract it remember just like last time...ok"
I said as we both came to a mental agreement, between the two of us we did not even need to talk anymore to understand each other's intentions.
I shot some fireballs at the cat, it tried to block one but instead got a good burn mark on itself while it dodged the other one. It became angry as the Cat started to charge at me, I waited for the right moment and when it was right in front of me
SHADOW LOCK: Sleep
it got stuck in its place and not knowing what happened started to yawn until it started to sleep, I released my ability thinking it was over when it angrily opened its eyes and launched those thorny blade-like appendages at me,
I could not get out of the way in time thinking this the cat showed a victory smile which froze when it saw my mocking expression but it was too late
KNIGHT's FURY: FIRE BLADE
the thorns all stopped in its place as Tang san used his skill bind while Cane came dashing and in a swift slash took the life of the cat...I could see it growling in anger at me.
I could have used the pressure from my Spirit ring to make the cat submit but this would have. alerted a much stronger beast.
"ARE you sure you are going to do this..sigh just dont die okay?" said Master Yu as he rubbed his temples.
Cane started to absorb his Ring. I gave the Master my Spirit dispersion herb as I want to look for my own Beast ..in name only ...come my precious system.
«yes sir what would you like to buy today, »»
"Show me all the available 50,000 yr old spirit rings which would give me an extra skill with which I.can hind the true color of my rings."
«Yes sir, here you go»
~Wolf silver ghost:60,000 sp
~ Poison Mantis king:60000 sp
~ Imperial Ice silk Worm:60000 sp
...
"System buy me the ice silkworm"
«as you wish Sir»
A Black spirit ring started to form and came towards me I sat down.in the lotus position and started to absorb it
in a minute or so I completely absorbed the ring.
*
Name: Imitation (other names: Illusion)

It allows the user to appear as something or someone else in both form and aura. Users can even appear perfectly fine despite being greatly exhausted.
It can be used to change the color of one's Soul Rings and create entirely fake ones.
It can hide attacks and/or make them look like they're heading toward a different target.
Range of this ability is 100Meters (after reaching Rank 50)
It allows him to assimilate into the environment like a chameleon.
*
hmm cool, so this is the skill I got from the ring now what about I unlocked from my own Spirit.
*Shadow Steps
allows the user to walk from one darkness to.the other, or shadow, consumes spirit power according to the number of uses and distance .*
nice now I have four spirit abilities .let I try Imitation for a minute I summoned my rings and both of my rings turned to Yellow color, I then tried to blend into the environment, this is cool.
I went back to find Tang san and the others and found them at the same place.I.left them
"Where were you we were worried and by the way congratulations on becoming a grandmaster," said Cane as he smirked, "You too," I said to him.
"Brother Ji so what is your ability," said Tang san
I used my ability Imitation and summoned nine red color rings, the aura started to spread as a various bird as beasts flew away from around me not being able to withstand the pressure while Grandmaster Yu said with horror written in his face, "MONSTER... who are you, a title douluo "
"Haha is my new ability, imitation I can replicate any person aura and everything perfectly and can hide my attacks, my self, or make illusion and change the number and color of my rings, hehe," I said smugly as I folded my arms
"What kind of a beast did you hunt boy," said Master Yu as he still could not get his head around my ability
"It was a silkworm, " "wha...t a silkworm you say,"
"Ahahhaha Biss Ji became stronger but I am no less look at this valiant knight's new ability with your heads open," he said as he got 50 meters back
KNIGHTS SWORD BARRAGE
Seven blades formed all around him at the same time and he threw them at fixed direction
they traveled in one direction of their own.and some hit the trees cutting it apart while some hit the builders shredding them to bits.
"Haha how is it cool right, these swords are made of spirit and fire so Boss cannot use Shadow lock on them ehehehe," said Cane as he ruffled his own hair like a monkey.
as one starts to go up in levels one's base spirit starts to get stronger naturally which means his base ability also got strengthened by a lot.
hmm ....what is these gloves but I did not have any gloves on me wait these are a part of my real guard my rear guard...
Master took my hands and checked my gloves
, "Congrats all three of you are able to form a part of your Real guard at grandmaster rank, today's meals are on me, let's go kiddos"
"Yay free meal,dont go back on the master of your words " Cane
"Looks like the master is really happy today, let's have a dual later on both of you" Tang
"BRING IT ON EHHH," Said I and Cane altogether
then looked at each other( you too) in my mind, we did not need to speak to express our real intentions.
__________________________________________
KNIGHT SWORD BARRAGE:
Effects :
Condenses spirit energy into the form of a sword and attacks any within a range of 50 meters.
Limitations :
If the target is not hit, the energy dissipates.
The size and power of the sword depend on the Spirit Energy condensed.
The maximum energy that can be condensed into a single sword is 10% of the total Spirit Power.
Maximum Spirit Swords that can be released in a single time is 7. The usage of spiritual power can be improved.
So.in this chapter a total of two years have passed and in the next chapter, Mc will get another team.mate (Girl) and another two years will pass.
so that in the next chapter we can start the next arc.
