Chapter 2.

Seeing my fading back the three people couldn't help themselves and sigh while saying.

" Did we do wrong placing all the villager's expectation on a little 6-year old boy? How much pressure is this? Can he bear this pressure? And we didn't even think about the scenario of him not having the spirit power if that occurs this bright child heart will be crushed"

Just as this last sentence came out of the man's mouth Village chief slapped strongly on his head as a slight bump rose from where he attacked. And he gloomily said.

" Don't you guy dare open your crow mouth. If I hear you next time saying something similar you will be punished with ten whips."

While the man hearing this grieved and replied in a weak voice.

" Yes, chief there won't be next time." While seeing this scene the lady just laughed covering her mouth.

After some time she turned towards the chief and said.

" Village chief you don't need to worry. This child is very sensible and he has been a genius since he was young. And you might also have noticed slight spirit power fluctuations from him just now when he got excited."

Hearing this he smiled with yearning and excitement in his eyes.

On the other side, Chen Feng is rushing in between the thorns on the edges of the village. His figure looked slightly blurry as he slithered in between them. After a couple of minutes, he reached the end of thorns and rushed out. Without any change in his breathing, he looked at himself carefully checking his body. He looked at the edge of his clone slightly torn on the wrist while there was a scratch also on the left calf as slight blood came out of them. Seeing this he frowned slightly in dissatisfaction as he muttered.

" This Purple snake slithering is quite hard I have been on the bottleneck of the first stage for 3 years. I already knew it was hard when It took me a year to reach the top level of the first part of this technique. But 3 years is quite long I don't understand why am I not able to pass through. Does it have something to do with my spirit power? Let's see I might get my in a month or two so no need to rush."

As I continued to mutter I reached an open ground with no one around and took out a 1.7-meter long stick that I asked the village chief to get me as my 4th-year birthday gift. And started to practice the Dragon tail technique 1st part in which you have to use the stick flexibly like it's not a stick but a whip that can twist and turn at your call.

Practicing until evening body full of I threw the stick to the side and rushed back to get rid of this stinky liquid covering my body.

Washing I entered the hall ate something for dinner while everyone else was still busy with something of their own and sat on my bed to continue to practice the Qi gathering technique. Vitality gathered all around me and started to enter my body slowly heading towards my dantian where they got together with a bunch of clouds gathered tightly. The clouds were so tightly gathered that the bottom of some of them nearly turned into a liquid, which is a sign of entering Spirit Duke by the village chief who yearns to enter this level, while according to the mysterious book the clouds turning into liquid is a sign of entering 4th layer of the Qi gathering technique.

Practicing for quite a while I laid on the bed and started overthinking about what my Martial spirit might be. Since I had already practiced to such a high level there is no need to worry about no spiritual power. But the martial spirit is a problem since it has a connection with the bloodline. And no matter which way I look there is no difference between me and a common village child.

I have heard from the Village chief my parents died in the hands of spirit beast and they were my biological or so they know. So this is quite a problem a bad spirit might limit my strength, an average one may only let me beat the guys in the same rank but to become monster level of challenging others 10 levels or 15 higher than me for which I'll need a top rank martial spirit. Sigh! It won't do any good worrying about it. Might as well sleep and clash with the reality tomorrow.

Next-day Morning I got up at 4 as always. After washing I headed to the adjacent hill and started to nimbly climb the hill, reaching the top right before the sunrise I sat cross-legged at my usual place and took a deep breath, and concentrated on practicing the Qi gathering technique. Which uses Stars to gather their yang energy, it doesn't whether it's day or night but the time when the sun rises is the best time to get a high level of concentrated yang energy.

The purple Qi it distributes when it goes up can replenish my body at the same time be used to practice the Demon Eye technique. which raises the clear sight ability of my eyes and let me see through the things like now I can only see to the core of the rocks and some plants. As my level rises It might let me see through people and their minds. But it might not be its ultimate form, cause I don't know if there is anything higher than this but according to there is another higher level above this. Let's talk about this some other day. Disregarding these thoughts I concentrated on my practice.

After a half-an-hour, I descended quickly and reached the orphanage at 6 and helped Lady Mina like always after which I sat on my seat waiting for the Village chief. As today is the day when we will awaken our Spirits and a person from Spirit Pagoda might come so today's breakfast was very sumptuous with meat which we can eat only when there is a festival or some good guy donate them.

It's not easy to let a person from Spirit Pagoda, come to a small village to awaken the spirits cause 1st you will need to submit a list of children at the age of 6 of your age and the number gathered need to be higher than 5 or you might have to take your child to the town to get awaken. 2nd your village needs to have some fame like there are spirit masters born in every 2 or 3 years in this village even if your level is lower it's ok. And last and most important, your village has to have contributed to the last Beast riot.

The village chief came quickly and asked to quickly finish our breakfast and without even eating his own. He rushed out busy with the preparations for today's event. As I said Its rare for people from Spirit Pagoda to come. It has been 3 years from there so it looks like the Village chief is trying hard to impress this guest. As I processed through my thoughts, I quickly finished my breakfast and rushed towards the Pagoda hall on the south side of the village while other children from the orphanage followed, for them I slowed down my speed considerably.

Reaching the Pagoda which was very highly decorated, nothing like the once Ruins it had been where even ghosts won't dare to wander. Well, whatever I Turned to look around trying to find the Spirit warrior sent from the Spirit Pagoda. According to the timing they should be here by now.

At this moment I heard a slight sound of a person rushing although the sound was very light because my practice of Qi technique is quite high I heard it before anyone else and turned to look behind.

I saw a Young Burly man rushing in quite luxurious clothing, ( according to village people's standards.) compared to village people's clothing it did look wealthy. Reaching near us he stood. Seeing him Village chief rushed towards him and directly punched, seeing this I got shocked, and worry appeared as I silently started to run my spiritual power. Waiting for the opportunity to assist. While others also started to worry and clamor among themselves.

At this time when Burly man saw the village chief punching, he didn't seem surprised and caught the punch and carried on with punching a punch of his own. The village chief dodged his attack and kicked towards him Burly man loosened the grip on the caught hand retreated behind. The village chief continued to rush and attack. They continued to physically battle like this without calling for their martial spirit letting me understand that both of them might be an acquaintance. This conclusion became true when they retreated and laughed loudly looking at each other's battered appearance.

The village chief moved towards and stretched his hand for a handshake while the burly man also reached out his hand and both of them shook their hands as a sign of peace.

At this time Village chief said with a smile.

" Rong your spirit power has become stronger again. Few more years and might overtake me"
