บท 64: Rongrong meets with Lin Yanluo

His trick to lose the other guy worked. He then took Rongrong to the fields where the first members of the Eclipse Pagoda were training earnestly.

Before stepping into the fields, Ryusei and Rongrong covered their bodies with their cloak and robe so that they can keep their identities hidden. When they stepped in the fields, Rongrong let out a gasp after seeing 25 men training and running in the fields lead by a young boy.

They were running one behind another and the one who was leading them was a young boy of nearly same age as them. It was Lin Yanluo. Lin Yanluo seemed to have detected that someone was looking at him and turned towards Rongrong and Ryusei.

He immediately left the pack, and approached Ryusei and bowed as he said, "Boss, Dragon Emperor, you have returned." He quietly observed Rongrong but didn't ask about her identity.

He knew that it wasn't his business to know who was the one following the leader, he only obeyed Ryusei after all. Ryusei looked at him satisfied by his response as he wanted to know how he would respond if he brought someone with him.

"I came to check your training and most importantly introduce you to her." Ryusei said as he pointed towards Rongrong and continued, "This lady would be one in charge if I am not around here. Never question her orders, as she is the second head of our Organization, Eclipse Pagoda."

Rongrong was astonished by the name of the organisation because yesterday he only told her about some men he newly got, but never really mentioned the name of the organisation.

Her lips curved as she smiled happily because she knew that the name was based on her Spirit. This was indeed one of the reasons that Ryusei chose this name. She then looked at Lin Yanluo with a smile, not that he could see it, and spoke in a pretty voice, "I have heard many things about you. You're pretty good."

Lin Yanluo was dazzled hearing her beautiful voice, he didn't expect that she would be speak with such elegance as he thought that she would be same as Ryusei, cold and monotonous. But he immediately bowed and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, I'll keep doing my best".

"Alright, why don't you show us your Spirit Abilities right now. I haven't seen both of your Spirit Abilities." Ryusei said.

Lin Yanluo nodded and then looked at Ryusei and said, "Boss, where should I use my first spirit ability. I need a target to use my abilities." Ryusei chuckled and then said, "Everything around you are a target. Your target can be that tree behind you or those baboons behind you or you could just target me if you want."

Lin Yanluo immediately waved his hands and said in a trembling voice, "No-no, Boss how could I ever target you, I don't want to die just yet. I would just target the trees because using it on humans might injure them badly." He then turned around and used his Ancient Demonic Sabretooth Tiger.

His body radiated a red hue and a domineering pressure was released as a majestic black tiger with red stripes, appeared behind him. It had a proud expression and his eyes glowed with a sinister light. It had a bloodthirsty aura. Lin Yanluo closed his eyes for a second and concentrated on that tree.

He stretched out his hand, a sinister Blood Red Lightning started flickering over his palm, he then aimed at the tree and the Lightning flew towards the tree. This was his ability: Swallow.

Ryusei was amazed at what he was watching. He saw the Lightning strike the tree and started flickering around it. Then the tree started withering at a visible rate and the Red Lightning seemed to have a darker shade now. The Lightning was sucking or swallowing the tree's life force while strengthening itself. Ryusei felt as if he should test his own Purple Lightning against that Red Lightning.

So, he stretched out his hand and released a Purple Lightning bolt towards the tree and collided with the sinister Red Lightning. Lin Yanluo was bewildered that a Purple Lightning came out of nowhere and struck his Red Lightning.

He turned around and saw that Ryusei was the one who did it. While he was bewildered, Ryusei was also shocked that his Purple Lightning wasn't able to absorb that sinister Red Lightning.

He had seen his lightning swallow Red Lightning from a 100,000-Year-Old-Beast as if it was nothing in front of his Purple Lightning and here, he saw a darker shade of Red, a Blood Red Lightning struggling in front of his Purple Lightning.

After some seconds, the Purple Lightning won the struggle and finally absorbed that Red Lightning. Ryusei understood that his Purple Lightning was a superior than the Red Lightning and it seemed to be able to absorb different types of Lightning.

And the Red Lightning of Lin Yanluo seemed to absorb the life energy. Ryusei thought 'Hmm, it seems both, his and mine lightning are the top-level lightning but have different properties. My Purple Lightning is more like a king of all other lightnings but his Lightning is like the bane of living. Interesting...'

The second ability was a bit similar to the Ryusei's Lightning Manipulation, he could mould it into any shape or he could also use it to increase his speed or coat it around his fist to increase the destructiveness of the power of his fist.

Ryusei said to Lin Yanluo, "Alright, that's enough. For now, start training your body for 2 hours. After 2 hours, rest for a while and try to cultivate Spirit Energy. I want you to increase your Spirit Rank quickly but don't ruin your foundation just for the sake of getting stronger quickly otherwise it will create problems in the future."

Lin Yanluo nodded and then returned to the field and stared running alongside the 25 men once again. After he was far enough, Ryusei looked towards Rongrong and said to her in a smile, "His spirit is really good, isn't it?"

She nodded as she said, "Yes, it is. Even I felt that the aura of his spirit greatly resembled that of the Brother Mubai's." Ryusei didn't reply to her and just looked towards the men running in the fields.

He noticed that their movements seemed too rigid. It was like if he they were inflexible in their movements. He knew that he would have to train them for their flexibility. It wouldn't be good if they were inflexible in a fight and couldn't dodge some easy attacks.

He wanted to make these people his elites in his organization, they would be the people who would give pointers to the members who would join later. It wouldn't be good if they were weak in such a crucial aspect of the body.

He knew that a strong Spirit Force would be good in a fight but he knew that it would be a nightmare if they fought against an opponent who had a good amount of control of his body and his Spirit Energy,

He knew that he could do this right now as he would have to leave in a day or two and it wouldn't be right if he stopped their training after just a few days. The training would have to be continued for about 6 months before these guys can show some results to him.

He then looked towards Rongrong and said to her, "So, these are the guys who are going to be the members of the organization. I am going to train them and make them stronger. Even though these guys are strong, I want to find more children like Lin Yanluo, the ones who have great potential to get stronger."

Rongrong nodded as she said, "Yes, it would be good if the organization has more members like Lin Yanluo. It would cause the organization to have a long-standing with strong and young members."

After both of them stayed silent, Ryusei said to her once again, "We should return now. I wanted to let you meet Lin Yanluo and see the members of the organization. I do not want them to know about you just yet as I still do not trust them. I will let you meet up with them soon after we come back."

Rongrong asked him in a cute voice, "Come back from where brother Tian." Ryusei smiled a bit, not that Rongrong could see it because of the mask and said, "In a few days, we are going to a place for your Spirit Ring. Did you think I forgot that you have reached Rank 30 and require a new Spirit Ring? In a few days, I would get the information about the beasts with strong mental strength and their locations so we will start our journey to that place."
