Chapter 17: Meeting

It's been two weeks since Tang Jiyao and Tang Hao left the Light Dragon Beast Forest, and arrived at a very poor city. This city houses different kinds of people but the most common are those who came from the slum.

In this city, Tang Jiyao stopped to cultivate his cultivation technique 'Holy Faith Melody Technique', this cultivation technique will allow to boost his cultivation speed by making others listen to his music and understand it. And this city which houses different kind of people, with crimes running amok, a little bit of entertainment can make them relax. Because of this way of cultivation Tang Jiyao is currently level 19th. 

"Yaoyao, are you done yet?" Hao Min, a brown-haired kid call, the same age as Tang Jiyao

Following him was a black-haired kid with an night-sky eyes, his face contain no emotion, but when he looked at Tang Jiyao there seemed to be admiration, this kid's name is Lu Ya.

Tang Jiyao meet Hao Min and Lu Ya at the city. Tang Jiyao first meet Lu Ya when he notice someone is following him after he performed that day. He tried to mislead Lu Ya, but when he performed again in the morning, Lu Ya again tried to follow him, this went about for a week, when Tang Jiyao suddenly had enough and confront Lu Ya.

"Why are you always following me?!" asked a masked Yaoyao.

"I don't know, but that thing is making me calm." Lu Ya said while pointing at Yaoyao's Martial Spirit.

"This is my Martial Spirit, you can't take this!" Yaoyao said protectively.

"Martial Spirit?" Lu Ya asked, tilting his head, confused.

"Of course a Martial Spirit, don't you have one?" Yaoyao asked, now confused.

"I don't have one." Lu Ya said.

"Ohh..." Tang Jiyao just said, now feeling pity for the kid his age. "I know! Follow me!" Tang Jiyao yelled then dragged Lu Ya to their inn.

"Dad!" Tang Jiyao yelled while kicking open the door. Tang Jiyao then realized that there's someone in their room. "Who are you!? Where's my Father?!"

"Hmmp! I'm the Great Hao Min!" The kid his age answered Tang Jiyao.

Tang Hao suddenly appeared inside the room. "This is my son Tang Jiyao, Yaoyao, this is a thief, Hao Min."

"I'm not a thief!" Hao Min shouted indignantly.

"If not, what are you?" Tang Hao challenged.

"I'm... I... I'm a... I'm a bank! Yes, I'm a bank! I'm just keeping your money, but you can get it anytime!" Hao Min said proudly raising his nose to the heavens.

"Yeah right, who is this?" Tang Hao asked pertaining to Lu Ya. 

"Dad, he's Lu Ya, my friend, he said he don't have a Martial Spirit, can you do something?" Tang Jiyao asked.

"Ehh? You too?!" Hao Min shouted at Lu Ya.

Lu Ya just remained silent and just waited for Tang Hao to answer.

"Well, I'm gonna awaken this brat's Martial Spirit but if your friend wants to join, it's not a problem, wait here." Tang Hao said while jumping through the window.

Hours passed by before Tang Hao came back with something like a stone slab.

"That's the magic circle in the Spirit Hall." Tang Jiyao said. "Where did you get that?"

"That's a secret. You two come here," Tang Hao said to the now cleaned kids,

While waiting for Tang Hao, Tang Jiyao instruct the two to take bath and clean themselves.

"You two should take a bath first!" Tang JIyao said.

"What's wrong with me?!" Hao Min shouted.

"You stink." Lu Ya said in a straight faced.

"No, I don't!" Hao Min argued, now offended.

"Hehe, come on take a bath after that we'll eat." Tang Jiyao coaxed.

"I don't have money and clothes." Hao Min said shyly, embarrassed.

"Me too." Lu Ya said in an emotionless face.

"It's my treat and here's my clothes. Now go take a bath!" Tang Jiyao said while handing some of his clothes.

"Thanks." Hao Min said with a blushed.

"Thanks." Lu Ya said softly.

"Mhmm, enjoy." Tang Jiyao said while pushing them to the bathroom.

After that is history.

Hao Min is the first to get awaken. Hao Min's body is shrouded by light when suddenly, it vanish but now Hao Min's clothing changed. It became a silver suit that seem to contain a universe.

"Space-Walking Suit." Hao Min said in a mysterious voice.

Due to Yaoyao's sensitivity around the nature, he can feel that Hao Min's state is very strange, it seem as if Hao Min became a part of the space around him making him lack a presence. Tang Jiyao noticed that Hao Min seemed to be breathing heavily.

"Unsummoned it now." Tang Hao instruct.

"I don't know how!" Hao Min shouted.

"Just focus on recalling it back!" Tang Hao said. 

Hao Min hurriedly focus then suddenly his silver suit disappeared replaced by Tang Jiyao's clothes.

"Here." Tang Hao hand over a blue stone. "Inject your Spirit Power in this stone."

Hao Min followed and injected his Spirit Power to the stone. 

"Wow! Innate Full Spirit Power! Just like me!" Tang Jiyao said excitedly.

"Innate Full Spirit Power, as I predicted." Tang Hao whispered while looking closely at Hao Min.

Lu Ya did not react, seemingly oblivious to rare occurrence.

"What's Innate Full Spirit Power?" Hao Min asked confused about the sudden celebration.

"It means you can get your spirit rings without cultivating." Tang Jiyao said.

"And then?" Hao Min asked still confused.

"That's all!" Tang Jiyao said still smiling.

"That's all?" Hao Min again asked.

"That's all." Tang Jiyao said still smiling, but now nodding.

"That's enough, Lu Ya it's your turn." Tang Hao said, stopping the childish banter.

Lu Ya then step towards the stone slab. Tang Hao start the awakening but there something wrong, because instead of the light gathering through Lu Ya's Body it seemed to gather in the floor. After the light disappeared there appeared a cute three-headed black dog.

"Wahh! So cute!" Tang Jiyao said while picking up the little three-headed black dog. "Lu Ya, you have a very cute Martial Spirit!" Tang Jiyao said now patting the head of the dog. 

Lu Ya then strangely sent a mocking gaze at Hao Min. 'I win.' so to speak. Hao Min just give him a strange look then also came over to pet the dog, but one of the head cutely barked at him.

"Ahh, it's cute." Hao Min said while looking at the head barking at him.

"A mutation huh?" Tang Hao mumbled. "Lu Ya, here." Tang Hao said while handing the blue stone. It shows another Full Innate Spirit Power.

"Hahh, another one." Tang Hao sighed, now clearly tired. He proceeded to sit down because of the absurdity of he happenings. Having an Full Innate Spirit Power is a very rare thing, he knows this because he is the Clear Sky Douluo.

"What should we name him?" Tang Jiyao asked Lu Ya.

"You can name him." Lu Ya said, still emotionless but softly.

"I have one! What if Blacky?" Hao Min said proudly.

"Hmph, your naming sense is the same as your face, trash." Lu Ya said, insulting Hao Min.

"What did you say?!" Hao Min shouted while attacking Lu Ya.

Lu Ya just keep on dodging him while Tang Jiyao just laughed at the situation.
