Spirit Rings Hunt

Another day passed by we're just enjoying ourselves. We're also excited for today since today is the day where we will hunt our first spirit ring. We haven't chosen our family name since we aren't really interested in one anyway. So we're going to hunt spirit beast right now. I didn't really needed to hunt but only cultivate and create a custom technique for my rings or so said by my spirits. But I thought why not join them and pretend to absorb one? Hunting our 1st spirit rings must be fun and a memorable experience right?

~Flashback~

"Do you know how to increase my spirit ranks faster ?" I asked Eri. "As you might know you need to cultivate and hunt spirit rings to increase your spirit ranks and broke through the level cap." I nodded at her respond while still training to broke the bowl perfectly in half using spirit power. She then said, "But with us, you don't need to hunt for one." It broke my concentration and the bowl broke to pieces. "What do you mean ?" I looked at her. She then sips a tea and answered, "I don't know but because of that tree you could make your own spirit rings once a year or uses our rings which we already had. So I guess you're really lucky ?" She said in a doubting tone. "Is there something wrong about it ?" I suspect there must be a condition for me to get/create the spirit rings. Eri scratched her head.

"Well you see you needed to battle a projection of yourself but with a higher spirit ranks so you needed to beat yourself but stronger." The one who speaks isn't Eri but Kuhaku. "Oh yeah, that's it." Eri suddenly said while pointing towards Kuhaku. "You forget it didn't you?" I glared at her. She just turns away and runs. I just sighed at this. Kuhaku then appeared beside me and said "If you want to get your spirit rings just cultivate and think about entering your soul and it's time difference is 1 hour outside is a day inside and for the time like training you're still not strong enough to do so as the tree helped you to achieve it and I'm still wondering what could this tree be ?"

~Flashback ends~

As I was daydreaming we actually had arrived at the place. In front of us is a teleport gate which would teleport us to a jungle which had spirit beast roaming around. We asked why don't we go to star dou forest. The answer we got is because the teleport gate would teleport us to a different space that had a lot more and unique spirit beast and only people with spirit rank lower than 50 could enter it. I'm interested in hunting one but refrain from it as I could get the best spirit rings from my soul tree (I would call the tree in the soul as soul tree from now on.) The separate space is called Two Sun's realm as the legend of this realm suggest that there's once a mortal encountering a strong spirit beast the battle is so destructive that the aftermath of the battle caused another sun to appear or as the legend says.

"Remember that life is more important than spirit rings. If you encountered a dangerous beast just run." The elder escorting us said, "Goodluck and hope you return here safely." He then pulled me and whispered to me "Hino as you're the leader and the strongest among them, lead them so they could be safe." I nodded and returned to Xue and Wuhan. "Let's do this!!!" Wuhan said. "Yeah let's go," Xue replied I sighed and just follow them we then entered the portal. Looking behind I saw the elder waving his hand at us and I return it.

After we entered the portal we saw a really amazing spectacle, we're on top of a mountain. In the sky, there are two suns shining brightly. Looking around the mountain we saw a really huge forest. It was an amazing view so we decided that we set a camp for now and start the hunt tomorrow. After we set up the tent we went and look for some water source as we also needed water to survive here even though we had abundant fruits around us so food isn't an issue. After a few whiles of searching Xue released a signal flare indicating she found a water source so I went toward the source. Seeing as it's a beautiful lake we decided to swim and have fun for a while.

At night in the tent we're discussing what would we do and what did we found. After some discussion, we conclude that we're in some kind of a safe zone where there's no harmful spirit beast around here and also the fact that there are no birds out here strengthen the possibility that we're inside a barrier which isolates us from the spirit beast. Wuhan also said that he found a weird rune surrounding the mountain about 10 km surrounding it. We then agreed that we would investigate it more now we needed to sleep. Well, they're going to sleep while I'm going to cultivate.

I'm sitting cross-legged on a rock near the tent while Xue and Wuhan are sleeping. I was cultivating right now and my consciousness was teleported to an arena with kuhaku, Eri, In, and Ame watching me from a tribune. In front of me is a choice of whether I would like to create a spirit ability or taking one from the available one that my spirits already had. I could also choose which spirits I want. I decided that I would integrate with Eri and my SIW first then after I reach titled douluo starts to increase Kuhaku spirit rings. Well increasing my SIW isn't trouble as they said they grow stronger as I get more powerful. As for the choices between creating or integrating with the one I would choose...
