Chapter 8 - First Spirit Ring (1/2)

”What will you do Tang San??”

”I… I'll take your advise Teacher. I'll take in a beast spirit as my first ring”

”Good, You didn't disappoint me with your answer. Don't worry I'll choose a good spirit for you first ring”

”I'll believe in you teacher”

”People say that Blue Silver Grass is a weak and trash spirit but I disagree, to me weak means flexibility. You can choose it to be anything, if you increase its strength and hardness you can even go towards the attack or defense direction, increasing its range you can even go towards control or support category. But that still isn't enough, I think choosing the right spirit you can give your grass the ability of… Poison”

When he and Renxue heard that they were shocked at this deduction, the reason Tang San was surprised was due to how accurate his deductions were for his first ring. Renxue was surprised that the simple Blue Silver Grass which was considered as a trash spirit was actually so useful.

If she followed the common teachings from Spirit Hall then she would have truly been blind, since she was a kid she knew that the spirit hall is not the same one it used to be and it doesn't allow those with weak spirits to climb up its ranks so easily.

This was the case for Tang San who despite innate full spirit power wasn't selected to be nurtured by Spirit Hall, well even if he was given the chance he would choose not to join.

”It's still early so let's get moving the creatures in the night are quite dangerous so we have to get this done by today. Renxue you'll scout ahead and Tang San I want you to keep an eye out on the surroundings as well so don't slack off.

Come out Luo San Pao.”

When he said that a small ugly dog-like creature can out. Tang San knew that this was grandmaster's spirit and it was a variation of Blue Tyrant Lightning Dragon but in a negative way, leading to him being look down upon in his clan.

There were a few beasts which tried to attack them but were easily taken care of by Luo San Pao's fart. After the attack Grandmaster told him about Luo San Pao and about how he was unable to break through to the 30th rank this made a depressed atmosphere, even Renxue who came back when she sensed the spirit beast attacking them was also having a depressed mood.

”Teacher, No matter who looks down upon you or what your cultivation is I, Tang San will always be proud to call you my teacher and no matter what anyone says you will always be my teacher”

When he said that, tears were coming down from grandmasters eyes and unable to keep calm he went up and hugged him. In his entire life people always looked down on his spirit and labelled him as a trash while only his lover, daughter and a few of his friends didn't mind his spirit and still respected him.

Due to his spirit his entire life was as if it was cursed, first it was the woman who he loved was taken away from him and then when he got friend it became somewhat better and soon he fell in love again but later after knowing that the woman who he loved was his cousin he had cursed his life while even trying to commit suicide but thankfully he was saved by Flander after that he only got back into his research when he met the woman who he fell in love again only to know that she had a child and that her husband had passed away.

She then told him about all that happened and how she was forced to leave him when her former husband threatened to kill him if she didn't bear his child.

Now that he was dead she ran away and wanted to end her life but she also wanted to see him one last time before she did so. When he got to know that he tried to convince her otherwise and told her that if she did so then he would also join her and take his life as well.

Due to his continuous requests she gave up on the idea of taking her life and decided to raise her child but soon the people from Spirit Hall found her and she was forced to go back so as to not put his life in danger and he hadn't seen her ever since while he was able to meet her daughter for a few times which she came under the pretence of getting her spirit ring and training in the outside world.

So hearing those words from him he was truly happy and was truly grateful, Renxue who was also close by heard everything was also having tears from her eyes. Though he may not be his actual father, she treated him more than that and also wanted to let her mother and father get back together but this all can happen only when she is truly strong enough.

She knows that this might be the last time she is able to visit him like this, since later on she wouldn't be able to move as freely as she's able to right now. Seeing that he got a good disciple like Tang San she didn't have to worry much about his safety.

Soon as they were going in towards the forest they were able to encounter beasts in the 100-years range they were able to find plant type spirit beasts but even Tang San wasn't interested in the abilities they offered him.
