6 Months

Based on the method of body tempering given by his Human Spirit, he would hold a fire ore in his hand and tried to circulate the fiery energy throughout his body.

The first time he tried to do it, he nearly screamed as pain from the tempering by fire was like ants were biting every inched of his body. However, he gritted his teeth and continued to do so despite the enormous pain he was feeling.

This uneventful life of his continued for six months. His seventh birthday would arrive in a week. Right now he was holding a fiery ores in both of his hands, tempering every inches of his body, from his outer skin to his internal organs. He was already accustomed to this pain. This tempering had increased his fleshy body strength from the initial 500 kg to a total of 1.5 ton, an increase of 1 ton. Just this strength would be enough for him to deter anyone below the Rank 40. As for other benefits, his will had already reached a high level, his body enduring the quenching by fire would definitely cause that to happen. In the six months period of time, his fleshy body strength had already been stagnant, not receiving anymore tempering from the fire ores. 'It's time!'

He was already a Rank 20 Spirit Master since one month and a half ago. He did not immediately breakthrough to Spirit Grandmaster as he wanted to reached perfection at each major realms to avoid any sequels or unstable foundation during his latter part of his cultivation. However, he decided to realize his breakthrough today. He wanted to leave this forest on the day of his seventh birthday after all.

He stood up and wield his silver sword from his space ring. He practiced his sword technique and at the same moment urging his Human Spirit to create a new spirit ring based on this sword technique of his, his Soul Sword.

At the next moment, his already existing purple spirit ring appeared above his head. There was a sign of a half-forming of a new spirit ring. When he finished practicing his basic stances of wielding a sword to perfection, a white spirit ring was fully formed. Right now, he had reached Rank 23 and has a purple and white spirit rings. But he was still not satisfied with this new spirit ring of his. He had long reached the realm of one with the sword, wielding the sword as if it was one of my body part. He wanted his Soul Sword to achieve a yellow spirit ring.

Hence, he kept fighting his imaginary enemy, the dark panther, which he could not pierce his sword into the thick fur the last time they fought. However, with his Soul Sword, the result would be different this time around. A day passed by and without any doubt his second spirit ring had fully transformed into a yellow tinted with purple spirit ring. His spirit ring had reached the equivalent stage of his sword technique, just lacking a sliver away from sword intent.
