Bab 274: 274. useless spirit?
It was now time for the spirit awakening to happen each year a spirit grandmaster from the spirit hall would come and help children who were 6 years old to awaken their spirits. I'm pretty sure they used this method so they could steal the good seeds off to spirit hall with promises of better training and such.
The village chief old man jack had come over early this morning to get me. He was a kindly old man loved by the entire village. he was also a well of information I often talked to.
Old Jack obviously answered my questions with great patience. In his heart, the village's most intelligent child was none other than me. One day I had asked him all about the man coming and spirit masters. He started off with the spirit grandmaster who would be helping the children.
"Spirit Grandmaster is a Spirit Master rank. Spirit Master is the noblest vocation on our Douluo continent: they can be formidable champions, they can possess remarkable assisting ability. But no matter which kind of spirit master, all are sorted and accorded titles."
"Spirit Masters all possess their own spirit power. Based on spirit power intensity, these are subdivided into ten general titles. Each title is further subdivided into ten ranks. At first after only crossing the threshold, one is called Spirit Scholar. As soon as a spirit awakens, everyone is a spirit scholar. In the event that the spirit is capable of cultivation, when the spirit power reaches the eleventh rank, one can enter the next title, which in that case is Spirit Master. And Spirit Grandmaster, it is the third in this sequence of titles. Having reached the Spirit Grandmaster realm, one already is a fairly famed Spirit Master. There are a total of ten like this."
"Spirit Scholar, Spirit Master, Spirit Grandmaster, Spirit Elder, Spirit Ancestor, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Sage, Spirit Douluo and Title Douluo. This is precisely where our Douluo Continent's name comes from. It is said that when attaining the power of a ninetieth ranked Title Douluo, one can take a title for oneself. They are simply unparallelled existences, ah!"
His eyes shone with proud radiance, "A hundred years ago our Holy Spirit village produced an eighth ranked Spirit Sage, ah. In all of Nuoding city, even in the whole Fasinuo region, this is extremely rare."
To the side Tang Hao curled his lip,
"Old Jack, that's just a legend, nothing more."
Intentionally rubbed the wrong way, Old Jack became indignant,
"What are you calling a legend? This legend comes from fact." the old man sputtered out waving around his radish spirit in anger.
I was busy contemplating if I could somehow become a titled douluo with a radish spirit but gave up that thought. when the ridiculous picture of me crushing foes with a giant radish popped into my head.
"Nope."
With old Jack leading, I followed him to the Spirit Hall in the middle of the village. Naturally, this so-called Spirit Hall was merely a large log cabin, nothing more.
Because everyone had spirits, every year would have children undergoing spirit awakening. Therefore, Spirit Halls could be found everywhere on the Continent. Naturally, these were all only subsidiary halls, there was a distinct hierarchy.
The village children didn't have a very good opinion of me as I didn't play games with them or run around screaming and shouting like a child. I'm still childish it's just that I'm a different kind of childish.
In addition to village elder Jack and eight children present, there was also one youth in the Spirit Hall. This person appeared to be just over 20 years old, dashing eyebrows slanting above starry eyes, his facial features extremely bright and handsome. He was dressed completely in brilliant white clothes, a black cloak on his back, and right on the center of his chest, above his heart, was a palm sized 'spirit' character. This was standard attire for staff directly subordinate to Spirit Hall.
On the left side of the chest was a carved badge with three crossed long swords. It seemed like Jack knew this kind of Spirit Master well; three in quantity represented a Spirit Master of third degree, titled Spirit Grandmaster, and the long swords represented this Spirit Hall attendant was a Battle Spirit Master.
Old Jack respectfully bowed to the youngster.
The centre of the youngsters forehead betrayed an indifferent arrogance. Indifferently bowing slightly, he at last returned the greeting,
"My time is scarce, let's begin."
I had to stifle a muffled *cunt* I coughed out.
"Very well. Children, this is a Battle Spirit Grandmaster from Nuoding City. Next, he will guide you to open yourselves to your spirit. You must cooperate well with the great teacher to conduct your spirit awakening; grandpa is looking forward to seeing who among you has the capability to become Spirit Masters." Said old jack.
The youngster somewhat impatiently said. "Very well, you said the same thing last year. Do you think becoming a Spirit Master is really that easy? I already passed six villages, and not one of them had a person with spirit power. They also didn't have suitable spirits."
Old Jack's eyes showed a trace of dejection, sighing, he said "Yes, ah! Only one in very many inherit the aptitude to actually become a Spirit Master. Among us ordinary people, it is indeed most difficult." before sadly shuffling out of the spirit hall.
The youngster's gaze fell on the eight children before him. As a Spirit Hall inspecting attendant, helping ordinary people undergo spirit awakening was his compulsory assignment, and he was long since used to it.
"Children, line up."
Towards these children, his manner was quite lukewarm.
The eight children stood in order before the youngster, I stood at the leftmost side. I was a little taller and more well built than other children my age.
When the seventh child's turn came, this was also the last one ahead of me I had watched in wonder as each child was covered in a golden glow and released their spirit before being tested if they had spirit power..
After sustained use of spirit power, The youth seemed to already be rather exhausted, but he still intended to help all eight children complete the awakening process.
I stepped forward and was light up like the other children and soon I felt my power kick into gear and I hid my other two spirits letting out a little blue grass that was woven like chains.
The youth looked at me in pity."It's a useless spirit. It doesn't have potential for attack, doesn't have defensive power, and doesn't have assisting ability. Blue silver grass is also considered as the standard of useless spirits."
While speaking, he held out the blue crystal ball to me to grab. As I hid my mocking sneer. The crystal lit up with blinding brilliance unlike the other children who had a dull glow or none at all.
"Heavens, it actually is innate full spirit power." he mumbled out.
