3 years 3 rings 33

{This chapter will be the first part in past tense, it will be a recounter of what happened in 3 years, finishing the 1st volume of this book, Childhood. Adolescence being the next one that will last until the final of the competition ark. So let's celebrate the finishing of the 1st volume with my longest chapter so far. Enjoy it}

My sister awakening created a big fuss at the clan with the second coming of an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The elders returned to ask questions about it but quickly shut up before the oppression of 2 titled Douluo.

(They are a disgrace for the clan. How can they be so stupid to demand something of us when the immense majority of the clan power is on our side?).

Finally, it was decided. It will be a clan's secret protecting the secrets of their heiress. Yes, my sister became the heiress of the clan as we are a support clan based in a support spirit, it really doesn't have much sense being me the heir but anything to shut up the elders. Now without any reason to oppose the new heiress. Having innate full spirit power, plus the evolved version of the pagoda z she had become the person with the most potential in the clan (Maybe except me).

In my case, I will train to be a reserve of the clan or groomed to be an elder, so I will continue having access to the best resources and techniques of the clan.

After finishing celebrating my sister's birthday, playing all day with her and eating her favorites dishes, the next day, I explained all my experiences and gains of these 9 months, causing some surprises for them and being congratulated by them.

Then, my parents informed me that I will have, in addition to my training, a new class, Etiquette. Even my puppy eyes and begging didn't stop it, causing my sister to laugh loudly until parents explained that she also will be attending.

Finally, both of us reluctantly agree in exchange for anything that we want. My sister asked for new clothes (You only need to ask and even without the exchange you will have it, but your naivety is very cute!)

In my case, I asked for rare fruits, especially with a lot of energy, saying that I really like fruits and I wanna know what is best. They prepared a lot of fruits for me every day when the saw how much I could eat and more or less once a month, they gift me some rare spirit fruit, all of them happily being eaten by Glut (Yeah I name the hamster Glut).

Spending my time with training, cultivating, (I internally sigh) etiquette classes and spoiling Rongrong, giving her and my family members Oreo cream every day (Uncle Bone taking the black cookie).

After 1 month of giving Oreos, my family finally asked where I took them from as there seemed to be some kind of spirit energy in them. I finally revealed my Oreo spirit to all and its ring capacity of improvement by eating. They swear to not say to anyone, keeping it secret and recommend me to at least wait until being a spirit King to absorb ring in it, focusing on self-support more than others.

With this, 3 years passed. I am now 11 years old and Rongrong 9 and for our growth is the next:

-Rongrong is now rank 20 with a 420 years old ring of a Muscle Bear with strength amplification of 12% as skill. She also arrived at the Three Aperture Governing Heart of the Heart Separation Control (I was very surprised and though to be impossible, how can she arrived at level 3 when she only uses one skill?) and is quickly becoming a very charming little lady. The only bad part being that due to all the pampering of the family (especially me!) and her talent, she became very proud and a little arrogant with everyone outside family, having made 0 friends.

-Dad is rank 88 and he broke through the 8th level of the Heart Separation Control creating a new never seen before level, the Eight Aperture Legendary Heart having the ability to simultaneously manipulate eight spirit abilities to accurately support eight targets.

-Mom is rank 95, only a step away for the super douluo rank, being able to break through any day.

-Uncle Bone is also rank 95 but he says that he has alredy burned all his potential. reaching his limit so the possibility of breaking through is almost 0.

-For uncle Sword, he came to the clan one time to see how are we doing, bringing a lot of presents for me and Rongrong, But he stayed a very short time, hurriedly restarting his trip. He informed us he is now rank 97, a touching the moon Douluo and that he will become stronger.

-In my case, I didn't change too much. I honed all my skills and now they all kind of automatic, reducing the consume of spirit or physical energy needed. For the spirit part, I'm now rank 30, only a ring away of the spirit elder rank. Having arrived at this rank 3 months ago, I was training my mental power to endure the mental shock of a 10.000 years old ring, now being prepared for it.

For my Oreo spirit, last year the ring finally became yellow, improving the cultivation speed a 10% for tool spirits and 20% for beast spirits, having Glut evolved to a 100 years old beast. He (yeah it's male) is now a Starving Mad Rat, so he stopped of eating fruits and prefers meat but I don't know why it only eats meat that I personally slay. If not, the food cannot be entered in the Oreo space so this month, it was difficult to raise it, only being 110 years old now.

For my sword, I improved the movement, battle instinct and I consolidated completely the Sword Intent realm, having the possibility of using 5 consecutive sword intent without needing to recover my physical energy. I tried to approach the Domain realm being based on the understanding of the sword against the projection of emotion of the Intent realm but I'm not near to have any breakthrough, being unable to understand anything, so I continue meditating and pray from some lucky chance.

Today Rongrong, me and Chang are at Star Dou Forest searching for a spirit ring for my sister and me. Chang, she is a 14 years old rank 23 power attack system with Black Panther spirit and is the guardian of Rongrong for her to practice her abilities because it will be impossible that I permit some dirty boy to be her partner and I can't be.

In this year, I learned that I can't be supported by any pagoda. Not only that, but also I can cancel the abilities of any pagoda around me, consuming their energy and improving my skills by 30%, so I'm the most counter of my clan. Another secret for any outsider, if any elder knew about it, they would restrain me, afraid of me going against the clan in the future.

Uncle Bone is also spying us or you can say protecting us, but he is hiding and won't appear except if a life-threatening situation occurs.

At the forest, while we search for compatible rings searching both of us for some speed related beast, I started a killing spread, hunting and eating every spirit beast that I sensed some pull of my spirit, being the majority deer-like (It seems like Glut's favorite meat is deer).

After 1 week of traveling, we arrived at a lake and there, drinking water, we saw the perfect beasts for our rings, one big Lighting Gale Wolf that it seems to be 12.000 years all and a little Gale Wolf, seemingly to be its child of 700 years old.

The Gale Wolf its a specie of spirit beast that has the form of a wolf with a cloud lie symbol on its head. They are specialized in speed and when breaking through the 10.000 years they gain an attribute, empowering them, usually being wind, lighting or sometimes only pure speed.

"They are perfect for us" I say to Rongrong creating an attack plan "I will attack first distracting the Lighting Wolf. Then, both of you will start attacking the baby wolf (Not so baby being 700 years old but in comparison). When the Lighting Wolf detects your presence, I will protect you so don't worry about it. Kill quickly the Gale Wolf and then support me in finishing the Lighting. Once the Gale Wolf is subdued do an energy signal for me to detect, do you understand?" they both nod "Okay when you see that the Lighting Wolf is separated from the Gale Wolf, attack it!".

I exited our hiding place and walked slowly toward both wolves, the Lighting watching me, staying in a guarded posture in front of the baby, protecting it while being very attended at my movements.

Arriving at 30 m of them, I invoke my sword "<1st skill: Fire Power>" "<2nd skill: Wood Stamina>" combining red and green producing some king of brown.

Then, I pierced forward "<intent: Remote Protection>" shooting a white sphere aura towards them and quickly deactivating my 1st skill to not waste energy.

The Lighting Wolf stayed protecting its child, underestimating the white aura trying to stop with its body, causing me to grin. The white sphere ignores the Lighting Wolf going through it and impacts the baby pushing it 10 m crashing to the ground.

(Luckily, it doesn't put any spirit energy to protect of the impact. If not, it won't be able to go through it). "Haha It seems that you're ignorable" I teased it.

The Lighting Wolf seeing her baby injured, charged angrily toward me. I lightly blocked it, letting myself being pushed away from the place.

The Lighting Wolf continues pushing me with attacks until we are 1km away from the baby. Then it starts building up electricity and with a shout launch an electric ray. I quickly nail my sword to the ground and jump behind, the ray being redirected to the ground by the sword.

The wolf starts circling around me at great speed. I reinvoked my sword, holding it with both hands and closed my eyes maximizing the Mind Eye in close quarters.

The Lighting Wolf launched toward my back, I responded "<1st skill: Fire Power>" "<Intent: Scattering Protection>" concentrated at my back, blocking it charging, using a lot of physical energy. This continues for 5 minutes, me being nearly exhaustion and the Lighting Wolf only seeming a little tired

(Fuck counters, a quick battle is my low point, preferring to wear my opponent. At least, it seems that its attacks are not strong enough to break my defense)

At this moment, I received Rongrong's signal and it seems the Lighting Wolf detected something wrong with his baby "It seems it's your loss" I say grinning.

Then both of us run towards the lak,e ignoring the other. The Lighting Wolf wrapping with lighting and running across the air (Flying is unfair!) arriving before me to see in time Rongrong piercing through the heart of the baby with a spirit knife while the baby is held by Chang.

At this moment, the Lighting Wolf enraged, creating a lot of lighting that attacks its surroundings randomly. Finally, it charged toward Rongrong and Chang with full power, spending a great deal of energy. I arrived at the lake seeing the Lighting Wolf 2 m away from my sister

"<Intent: Love Protection>" From my sister's diadem, a white aura sprout completely stopping the Lighting Wolf even rebounding it 30 m with a big crash "I can input my intent in objects, even expending 1 month time injecting intent at the diadem is worth if it's for my little sister. Rongrong support!" I shouted.

My sister activated her first skill being absorbed by my sword turning it more bright.

With this little breathing, without stopping my 2nd skill, I recovered a bit. I approached the Lighting Wolf.

The Lighting Wolf was laying there exhausted, having wasted a lot of energy in its berserk state and absorbed by me. I could easily sense his wrath, Using its last strength, it jumped towards me, in a futile intent.

I stepped left easily avoiding it "<1st skill: Fire Power>" I surrounded my sword with intent and pierced its heart, killing it.

I stopped all my abilities and fell to the ground exhausted "Buff! It was very close, luckily it was distracted and wasted a lot of energy if not the one who died maybe will be me (Without counting Bones's help)".

Then, my sister and Chang approach me asking "Big brother are you ok?".

"Yeah I only need a little rest and I will be completely fine. Hurry up and absorb your ring before it disappears" I answer.

At this moment a black hole appeared, leaving uncle Bone from it saying "You also need to absorb it. Don't worry, I will guard you". With uncle our security was assured so I, like my sister, started to absorb the ring.

After 6 hours of returning to fight the Lighting Wolf, only this time it was in the form of a mental attack and it was always shouting "You kill my son! Die!" and finally defeating it, I successfully absorbed the ring gaining my 3rd skill Lighting Speed improving my speed 40% and decreasing a 35% of the opponent.

(Hahaha they will be like in slow motion) But with a great consumption of spirit energy being only possible of using 2 seconds or 2 instants (It seems that 10.000 years old abilities are too much for spirit elders).

I opened my eyes, seeing the proud face of my sister telling "I only spent 30 minutes you're too slow. My second ability is Agility amplification 24%".

Then I explained to them my skill, causing my sister to pout saying "Unfair! I also want a black ring!" she didn't stop complaining even when we telling her to wait for the spirit King rank until we promised to buy anything that she wanted.

After that, I took the body of the Lighting Wolf and take it away, saying to my sister to not follow.

After some walk and being sure of not being followed, I started ravishing eating the corpse, like not being eaten anything in a month (I don't want Rongrong to see this ungrateful side of me).

Eating one of is legs, I munched something hard, being impossible to eat. Observing it, I found that it is a right leg spirit bone (Lucky! Following the ten great core spirit competencies of Yu Xiaogang it says that the possibility of a spirit bone increase when the spirit is very enraged and how can it be angrier than when we killed her child?)

I decided to finish eating the body and ask uncle before absorbing the bone. Finishing eating I can sense Glut with its stomach full and digesting it with a satisfied smile in his face (So if it's too strong, it needs time to eat).

I returned to uncle, Rongrong and Chang showing them the spirit bone uncle Bone saying "Woah a 10.000 years old spirit bone. There's small countries that started wars for something like this. You're very lucky. Don't waste time and absorb it, usually leg bone type are best used for speed and being the Wolf a speed centered beast, I don't think that you can find any better".

Listening and nodding, I sat down and started absorbing it. I thought that it was because I also had the ring of the same beast, it was very easy to absorb, only spending 10 minutes.

Opening my eyes, I say "The ability that it gives is a very low consumption one. Its name Air Walk and permits me to step in the air like being on the ground, improving a lot my mobility".

Uncle answer "Even if not being a very powerful boost of speed with is low consumption, it will be very useful at fighting, permitting to fight flying opponent, being the best use as a surprise attack".

"Not only that, absorbing the ring, but I also broke through rank 32, finally arriving at rank 33 after absorbing the bone" I added causing all of them to have a surprised face. We continued a little talking before returning home with Bone's black hole.

The next day after breakfast, father came to me and said "Bai you don't have a lot of friends so today, I'll present you one boy. He is my student, only 1 year older than you, has great talent and good connections. I expect you both to be good friends". Then, I followed him to his office, opening the door, dad said "I present you to Xue Qinghe".
