Chapter 7: First Spirit Ability

"Beast Spirit – Frost Monkey, don't be disappointed child, it is still better than a trash spirit like Blue Silver Grass. Come, place your hand on this orb to test your Spirit Rank." (Old man)

'Maybe Sun Wukong was right, maybe I am just a primitive ape as well.'

While still dumbfounded, I recall the spirit and put my hand on the Essence Orb. As soon as I touch it, a bright light bursts from the orb, blinding everyone. When the lights dissipate a number can be seen on the orb, 10.

"Heavens! He actually has Innate Full Spirit Power!" (Villager A)

"A genius! Our village has a genius!" (Villager B)

"I always knew he was destined for greatness, I could see it in his eyes from the day he was born!" (Random bull-shitter A)

The entire village got rowdy, cheering that their village will have a strong Spirit Master, while some people whom I have never met before started telling heroic stories about me. Including fighting snakes when I was a baby, and other similar stories. One story that pissed me off, however, was one guy saying I was the reincarnation of a Monkey god, I almost lost it and attacked him.

Although the crowd was still excited we moved along with the Spirit Awakening Ceremony, and next was Little Yue, followed by Feng Feng. Due to them having Innate Full Spirit Power I could guess they had a strong Spirit, and with the history of our clans it is likely they will have Phoenix Spirits. And sure enough, when the old man was awakening Little Yue's Spirit, an elegant and majestic caw emits from her body. A chilling feeling of cold exuded from her body as a Phoenix appears in the air behind her body, wings spread wide. Some frost begins to form around her and on peoples clothing. The Phoenix has blue flames for a body, with ice crystals for eyes. An ancient aura permeates from its body. Excitedly, she recalls the Spirit and put her hand on the Essence Orb, like me, she got Innate Full Spirit Power. Happily, she skipped over to me and gave me a hug, as I rubbed her head. Villagers started praising the two of us, saying we are twin geniuses and that the Chen clan really are descendants of the Ice Phoenix. Some arrogant people from the Chen clan started insulting the Yan clan, that they have no talents in their family.

Now, it was Feng Feng's turn however she didn't move, looking at her nervous expression I immediately understand what she is thinking. "It's alright Feng Feng, I believe that your spirit won't be the least bit inferior to Little Yue's, and even if it is, we will still be family. We won't leave you alone." Holding her hand, I give her a bit of encouragement, although I already know she will awaken a strong Spirit, she couldn't help but become nervous when thinking she wouldn't be talented enough to follow us. When she hears my words, the nervousness on her face disappears and is replaced by her normal beaming smile, "Of course! Even if you want to leave I will follow you everywhere!" her grip tightens on my hand for a second before letting go, she goes up to the elder conducting the ceremony with a face like she's going to war. The elder places his hand above her head and begins to awaken her spirit, another majestic caw comes out from her body as the area begins to heat up, as expected she awakened the Fire Phoenix. It is similar to Little Yue's Ice Phoenix except its flames are red and gets brighter the closer it gets to its core. Feng Feng lets out a sigh of relief as she puts her hand on the Essence Orb and unsurprisingly also has Innate Full Spirit Power. While beaming happily she charges towards the two of us and wraps us in a large hug, we both reciprocate the hug while patting her head. Taking this chance that we are close, I whisper to the both of them, "Tomorrow night, sneak out of the house when everyone is sleeping and meet up at the base, we will have a celebration party." They don't say anything but silently nod in acknowledgement. The reason I didn't say to celebrate tonight is because I want to get my first Spirit Ring. I plan on becoming an offensive Spirit Master with some control abilities to increase my combat effectiveness. After Feng Feng, there was nobody else of noteworthy talent, however the Chen clan and Yan clan didn't care, as they got ready to celebrate the birth of the Fire and Ice Phoenixes. Feng Feng went with her family to celebrate at the Yan clan estate while Little Yue and I went back to the Chen clan. At the party people would constantly come over to congratulate us and make conversation with us. However, Little Yue only stood behind me with a cold expression while holding my hand, as I gave the people come complimentary and dismissive talks. After a while I made an excuse that Little Yue was tired and left the party, as soon as we were away Little Yue's expression melted as she clung to my arm. Bringing her to our room, I quickly change her into her pyjama's while she changes mine before we crawl into bed. Giving her a peck on the forehead, while she wraps around my arm, we both go to sleep.

I appear in the Immortal Realm, ready to try out the new Spirit Ascension Platform, but I realise because of my shock I never got a proper look at my spirit. I summon the Frost monkey in front of me, so I can get a good look at it. It has silvery white fur, like me, except it covers the whole body. A long tail is attached to the back of its body, moving from left and right, as if looking for something to grab. The most surprising thing was a marking on its forehead, in character of King. It looks like it might not be such a common monkey Spirit as previously thought. I use observation on myself to properly check my Spirit.

==

Name: Chen Wulin

Spirit Rank: 10

Spirit: Frost Monkey King

==

As I thought, the old man conducting the ceremony mistook my Frost Monkey King for a common Frost Monkey Spirit. I try to integrate with my Spirit, my body grows larger, hair starts growing everywhere, only leaving my chest and part of my abdomen bare. My face grew a beard, not very manly looking as I am only 6 years old. My hands and feet grow larger, and my toes start to grow longer, like fingers. Most importantly, I grew a long silver tail, that swayed around on its own, curling around whatever it can find. The tail feels unfamiliar like an extra limb, I think I will be able to control it, but I will need a lot of practice to learn how to control it properly. It feels awkward trying to walk around with these long toes, but there is this unimaginable feeling of strength surging through my body, it seems integrating with the Monkey King Spirit gives me a strength increase of 100%. So, if I can carry 50kg without it, then when integrated I can carry 100kg. Spending a few minutes to get use to my body I go towards the Spirit Ascension Platform.

[ Spirit Ascension Platform – A teleportation formation which can teleport you to either the Spirit Ascension Realm or the Spirit Arena. In the Spirit Ascension Realm, you can survive in the endless wilderness and gain Spirit Rings. There is a total of 9 levels to the Spirit Ascension Realm. If you die within the Spirit Ascension Realm, you will be locked out of the Violet Jade Immortal Realm for one week.

The Spirit Arena is a battle simulation device to allow you to gain experience. You can choose specific beasts and their age, to fight, as well as the terrain to battle in. For example, you can choose to fight cat species Spirit Beasts in a desert terrain. Cannot gain Spirit Rings in the Spirit Arena.

Spirit Ascension Realm Current Level: Level One – 10 – 99-year-old Spirit Beasts. To unlock next level you must reach rank 20. ]

Seeing that I will only be battling weak Spirit Beasts, I quickly enter the Spirit Ascension Realm to get some experience while searching for my first Spirit Ring. My first Spirit Ring must be one with lots of potential to evolve as I will be growing it using my Spirit Ring Absorption, getting a weak Spirit Ring Ability will be wasting my cheats. I appear inside a forest filled with large trees, deciding to get a better look of my surroundings I climb one of the tallest trees while in my monkey form. Climbing while in monkey form feels extremely natural, even my tail grips to the trees unconsciously as I can't properly control it yet. Reaching the top of the tree I turn my gaze towards the horizon, Towards the north, there is a large ocean filled with storms and rain. Towards the West, there is a large mountain chain, some of the mountains are volcanoes while others look normal, there is even a couple that are constantly stuck by a lightning storm. Towards the South, is an area filled with snow, there is the outline of large glacial mountains, which is hard to be seen as there is a constant blizzard in the entire snow area. Towards the East, a giant sandstorm ravages an endless dessert.

Since my Spirit is a Frost Monkey King, I should go to the snow biome for a better chance at a suitable ability. Making my way towards the snow biome I come across a couple Spirit Beasts, however they are too weak, so in my monkey form I killed them all with one smash.

==

Name: Spirit Boar

Age: 23-years-old

Spirit Ability: Stench Bomb

==

==

Name: Poison Vine Spirit

Age: 56-year-old

Spirit Ability: Paralysing Bite

==

None of the Spirit Beasts I came across had a suitable Spirit Ability for me, however they did serve as training partners to help me get used to my monkey form. I would also swing from tree to tree instead of walking on the floor, I only fell down a couple times when my tail didn't grab the branch like I wanted it to. A couple hours later, I made it into the snow biome and began finding ice type Spirit Beasts.

==

Name: Ice Dog Spirit Beast

Age: 10

Spirit Ability: Frost Bite

==

==

Name: Frost Bear Spirit Beast

Age: 92

Spirit Ability: Ice Roar

==

The Frost Bear Spirit Beast was the strongest one I found so far, but it's Spirit Ability wasn't what I wanted, so I decided to test my strength on it. Charging up to it, I let out a full powers monkey form punch as the Frost Bear also let out a swipe at me. The Frost Bear was knocked back a few metres, while my body only shook a little, seeing that the Frost Bear couldn't be my match I quickly beat it to death and searched for more Spirit Beasts.

After an hour of searching and fighting, while I was playing around with a small Snow Ferret Spirit Beast, I hear a strong howl followed by heavy footsteps charging directly at me. Shortly after, a beast comes into view, it is a type of Fox Spirit Beast, but it is much larger and more threatening than any of the other fox spirits I came across. It looks to be more than 1000-years-old, but this realm should only have Spirit Beasts aged 10-99-years-old. Confused, I use my observation skill on it:

==

Name: Arctic Snow Fox Spirit Beast

Age: 87-years-old

Spirit Ability: Illusion Ice Transformation

==

'This Spirit Ability is quite good, to actually be able to transform its body into a 1000-year-old beast, it is even able to replicate the aura of a 1000-year-old Spirit Beast. I have decided, this will be my first Spirit Ring!' Quickly deciding that this will be my first Spirit Ring, I fearlessly charge at the Snow Fox. The Snow Fox, unaware that I have already seen through its disguise kept up its threatening howls while stamping its feet. Once I got close it lunged at me, however it was slow and weak compared to what a real 1000-year-old Spirit Beast should be, and I smashed its head in one hit. A white Spirit Ring appeared from the Snow Fox's corpse and I used my Spirit Energy to bring it towards me. Since it was a low aged Spirit Ring there was no problems with absorbing it. Quickly, I gain information about the Spirit Ability.

[Illusion Ice Transformation: Change body into ice to transform into anything, larger. Can also use ice to reflect light, creating an illusion that is hard to see through. Age of Spirit Ability determines how realistic the transformations and illusions are]

'So, it can be used for more than just transforming your body, the potential use of this ability is endless, from hiding my Spirit Rings, to making them more imposing and scaring off others. I can even use it to disguise myself and others when out in crowded areas. I should quickly try and evolve this ring to make the transformations and illusions more realistic.' Like this, I went on a rampage, slaughtering all the Spirit Beasts I could find, and integrating their Spirit Ring into my own. Although I can only get one tenth of the Spirit Beasts original age, I was able to make up for it with the sheer number of Spirit Beasts. By the end of my time in the Immortal Realm I was able to evolve my first Spirit Ring to become 158-years-old, strengthening the Illusion Ice Transformation Ability.

CREATORS' THOUGHTS
The_Wulin The_Wulin

I made a concession on it being a common monkey, so now it’s a monkey king, and before you little shits start complaining he isn’t strong enough, he will have another super strong monkey king transformation as one of his Spirit Rings.

Ask me one more time about Twin Spirits, I dare you! See what happens!

Thanks for reading!

Chapter 8: Multiple Spirits

Waking up, I realise I can't move my body at all. Opening my eyes, I see Little Yue clinging onto my body like an octopus, her head on my chest while slobbering. A little pool of saliva formed on my chest, since the damage is already done, I let her stay there for a while longer while I stroke her head. Soon, she begins to rustle and wake up, feeling my hand stoking her hair, she smiles and opens her eyes, but after seeing the small pool of drool on my chest she immediately let go and got up to get a towel. Watching her diligently drying my chest with her tiny hands like little wife who just married, an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and adoration washes over me. Unable to hold it, I grab her arm, pull her to my lap and embrace her tightly. Neither of us say a word, Little Yue keeping her red face hidden in my chest, while I hold her waist and bury my head in her hair. Her hair has the smell of a fresh cold breeze and energises my body. I give her a peck on the head and say, "You were too adorable just now, I couldn't help but hug you." She raised her head and I see her eyes filled with love and courage, in a small voice she says, "It's ok to do this whenever you want Big Brother, as long as you don't leave me in the future…" her voice petering off by the end of it, and hugs me tightly, burying her head once again, not sure whether she wanted to hear my response or not.

Hearing her say this, I tightened my hold on her slightly, "I have been with you my entire life and I will always be with you, now and forevermore."

After our indirect confession we hug in silence for a little while longer before I let go, today we will be spending our time celebrating with our family since we didn't have time yesterday with the clan's celebrations. But before we start our day, I ask Little Yue to show me her Beast Spirit integration. The Ice Phoenix appears from behind her and flies into her body, a cold aura exudes from her body as ice wings grow between her shoulder blades. Her eyes become a brighter shade of blue, almost glowing, as if the pupils are made of fire. Because she can't control her powers properly, some ice starts forming around us, to which she recalls the Spirit. She looks at me with beady and expectant eyes as I give her a compliment, "Your transformation was really beautiful, like an ice fairy that doesn't belong in this world."

Satisfied with my comment she also asks me to show her mine. I integrate with the Frost Monkey King. My body grows larger and firmer, while fur grows all over my body, except my chest and abdomen. I can't say that this mode has the most pleasing appearance, but it doesn't change my face, and it multiplies my strength by 10 times. Thankfully, Little Yue doesn't seem to change after seeing it and reaches out to touch my facial hair, "It's so soft, it's like running my hand through silk." Happy that she wasn't turned away from my transformation my tail comes out from behind my body and wraps around her waist, pulling her closer. Smiling awkwardly, I tell her, "I don't have proper control over my tail yet, so it moves on its own most of the time and likes to wrap around things." However, she doesn't mind it and says that she likes it because it is soft and fluffy, and it feels like I'm holding her.

After I undo my transformation, we both get changed into our day clothes and go out to see our family. First, we have breakfast with our parents and grandparents, before we spent our time with our father and grandfather in the living room while the women make a cake. I would play a couple games of chest with grandfather while Little Yue sits beside me, afterwards I would play against my father as well, both times I would pretend to give a good fight before losing so they can keep their pride as elders. Soon, our mother and grandmother finished the cake and we ate it at the dining table. Little Yue would get me a piece of cake and setting it on my plate like a little wife, before getting her own. Seeing this my father felt a bit awkward, "It might be time that you two sleep in your own rooms from now on, after all you guys are growing up now." He does have a point, but we are still only 6 years old, so my body doesn't react to Little Yue yet, and it feels comfortable to hug someone to sleep. But, before I could say anything Little Yue reacted, "Is it because you don't want us to do that thing you and mother do at night?" Hearing her say that, all of our family, including me start choking on the cake, I quickly ask her, "How do you know about those things?" to which she innocently replies, "One day when I needed to go to the bathroom at night, I could hear mother and father making noises at night, so I sneaked towards their room and took a peek. It was very-" before she could finish I put a hand over her mouth to stop her from talking. Feeling the awkward atmosphere building, my grandfather changes the topic, "The two of you will be going to the Golden Lion Academy next week, they will help you on your path as Spirit Masters. Are you prepared?" The Golden Lion Academy is the academy that is closes to our village and is named after the creator of the school, who had a Golden Lion Beast Spirit, it's not a very advanced school, and there are many on par just a bit further away. "Yes grandfather, we are ready to leave whenever."

The family celebrates for a while longer before it gets dark and everyone goes to bed. In our room Little Yue and I wait a while to make sure everyone is asleep before sneaking out. As we are tip-toeing along the hall, we can hear noises coming from our parents' room. Little Yue looks at the door and begins to walk towards it, but I quickly stop her, block her ears and lead her out of the house. We then sneak out of the village before running to our secret base, when we get there we see Feng Feng already waiting. As we call out to her she runs up and gives us a bear hug, "I'm so glad that I awakened a strong spirit! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to stay with the both of you. Today, a lot of people tried to talk to me and make friends with me, but it felt really uncomfortable and I didn't like it. Like they aren't real friends." I give Feng Feng a hug and a kiss on the forehead before letting the girls talk about their day while I prepared some fish to eat. During that time, we showed each other our Beast Spirit integration, and Feng Feng's was exactly like Little Yue's except being a scarlet colour, her flames changing temperature the more excited she gets. When I was showing mine, Little Yue positioned herself behind me so when I integrated my tail automatically wrapped around her, which made Feng Feng look as if she wanted to try as well. In the end, I was forced to stay in my monkey form as they play around with my tail and fur. When we were eating Little Yue brought up the thing about her seeing our parents at night again, since I was a little curious as to what they do I didn't stop her. From what she said mother is a bit of an M and likes to get rough handled a little, but the fervent look in her eyes as she explained what happened made me realise it might have been passed down to the next generation. Just thinking of what it would be like when Little Yue is older, a cold and unapproachable beauty in public who secretly becomes a pet at night, I will have to be careful determining what is considered punishment and reward with her… Luckily Feng Feng doesn't seem to understand any of the talk and just innocently listens to her story. We talk for a little while until the girls get tired, I bring them to the dead tree and pull out some blankets I prepared beforehand. I don't bother explaining to the girls as they have accepted it as something natural for me to do, since I've been producing delicious fish for over 2 years. I lay down first while the two of them take my sides, as we snuggle together and are about to sleep, suddenly!

"Where are the Phoenix Spirits!" A loud and clear voice comes from the direction of the village, more than a kilometre away, it must be someone extremely strong to be able to project his voice this clearly from so far away. Instantly realising that someone has come to kidnap the girls I run out of the tree and get rid of any evidence of human interaction in the area, before returning to the tree and using my Spirit Ring. I use my Illusion Ice Transformation to cover the holes of the dead tree and change it to look like the bark next to it, making it look like a normal tree that has just died.

Village POV:

"Where are the Phoenix Spirits!" A couple people can be seen floating above the village as the leader's voice encases the surroundings, villagers wake up and come out of their houses wandering what is going on. The leaders of the Chen clan and Yan clan come out, frightened as they know they are not a match for whoever is up there.

"Bring us the Phoenix Spirits and we will spare your life!" (Evil Leader)

The clan leaders decide that they can't sacrifice the whole village in an attempt to save the two girls and orders people to go grab them, however when they got to their rooms they found both of them empty. Hearing the subordinates say that they were missing, the people in the air got enraged.

"You think you can hide them from our Spirit Hall, they are probably hiding in one of the commoner's houses! Go! Kill all of them, but make sure the children show you their Spirit's first." (Spirit Hall Leader)

The people behind the Spirit Hall leader acknowledge his orders and begins slaughtering everyone in the village, forcing the children to show their spirits first, before killing them as well. After a while everyone in the village was dead and they did not find the Phoenix Spirits, the leader, being angered blows up the village in hopes to find an underground passage or something but comes up empty.

At his limit, he yells at his fellow Spirit Hall members, "Go search the area, they couldn't have gone far! I refuse to believe we can't even find two 6-year-olds."

All of them split up and search the surrounding woods. One member, finding a lake decides to search around there.
