**************

Ning Fengzhi saw his hesitation and explained, "Well, I wanted to ask you because you are the first friend my daughter has. And she looks like she wants you to come with us, right Rongrong?"

Rongrong quickly nodded her head as she really wanted him to come back with her to her Clan. Ryusei didn't buy the reason at face value and looked towards Tang Hao, motioning for him to come near. Tang Hao came near him and crouched down as he heard him whispering, "Do you think that I should go there? And if I go, would you accompany me to their Clan?"

Tang Hao whispered back, "I don't think that it is a good idea for you to go there. Unlike Clear Sky Clan, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is still affiliated with the Spirit Hall. It isn't a good idea to go with them. And If you do, I won't accompany you to their Clan because if I go there then everyone will know that Tang Hao is in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the next day we will be captured or killed."

Ryusei stayed silent and thought about it for some time. He felt alarmed by their affiliation with the Spirit Hall and became increasingly suspicious of their hidden motive. He decided to play it safe and determinedly looking at Ning Fengzhi, he said, "No, I apologise. I cannot come with you. I have some things that I need to do." Ning Fengzhi was a bit surprised at his rejection but didn't take it to heart as he already expected him to reject his invitation because of Tang Hao.

Ryusei heard a sobbing voice behind him and turned to see Rongrong sobbing in a low voice, she said, "Brother Tian, you don't want to come to my Clan with me. Is it because of me?"

Ryusei flicked her forehead and said in a light voice, "Of course not, in fact the only reason I wanted to come was because of Rongrong but I have some things to do right now and can't come. We will meet in the future alright so don't cry."

Rongrong heard his words and felt happy how he wanted to come only because of her. She was a bit saddened when he said that he had some work to do. Her face brightened up when she heard him say that they are going to meet in the future. She pulled his hand and pouted, asking, "Then tell me how should I find you in the future?"

Ryusei thought about it for some time and said, "6 Years. After 6 years, I will find you no matter where you are. Okay?" She stretched out her free hand and demanded with a determined voice, "Promise me."

He smiled and pinkie promised her, locking their fingers, "I promise." She seemed to be happy with that approval and suddenly hugged the clueless boy, planting a kiss on his cheeks. She then swiftly ran, returning to her father's and Grandfather's side and turned back towards him and mischievously winked, "Brother Tian, you must find me. Alright?"

He smiled at her. He was still thinking about the possible hidden motives the Seven Glazed Treasure Clan could have, and how he should escape a possible kidnapping in future. Busy in his thoughts he just felt a bit surprised at her kiss but he ignored it as just her way of showing her appreciation. He had more important matters to think of and didn't really think about the kiss much. He was totally acting like a dense protagonist. He looked at Tang Hao and saw him smiling towards his clear-headed decision.

Tang Hao applauded his cautiousness and said, "You made a good decision there." Ryusei nodded as he said, "Yes, even though I can get information about the Spirit Hall by going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, the same can be said for the Spirit Hall. And I don't need to explain how I would simultaneously enter the shady and political world of huge Clans that play the power game wilfully, going to great lengths to kill off or destroy any competitors."

"I will have to use my Spirit Ability someday and if they know about it then even Rongrong's branch inside the Clan will be annihilated as they know that there is no chance that I will forgive them. They could even use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan as a hostage to force me to come out. Or, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile clan could be a trap in disguise waiting for my arrival in the form of the faction which opposes the Clan Lord."

Tang Hao nodded and said with a smile, "So, you even thought this through. And here I thought that you wanted to stay with me." He ended his sentence in a somewhat joking tone but Ryusei didn't feel the mood to joke. He rationally replied, "Yes, that was also one of the reasons. I did go through great lengths to ask for your protection, even asking you to leave your son. This made it so that I would have to provide you some concessions while we travel, which certainly included not forcing you against your will. It would be foolish of me to leave a Title Douluo's protection just because I could go to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."

Tang Hao was only joking when he said that but even he was moved at hearing his words. Even if he sounded pragmatic, Tang Hao knew he was trying to explain himself, totally not realizing how it was unnecessary. Tang Hao said to him, "Well, don't expect me to be merciful while training you."

Ryusei nodded his head and said as his eyes shone with an eerie light, "I don't expect you to. Make me stronger with whatever you got. I want to become stronger, strong enough to completely destroy the Spirit Hall. Awaken the Dragon inside me through your oppression and torture."

Tang Hao asked him another question with a curious tone, "What about after you destroy the spirit hall?" Ryusei turned silent for some time and then helplessly chuckled as he said, "I don't know. The Spirit Hall's destruction is still far away, I am sure I will find something in the meantime."

Tang Hao nodded as both of them walked towards a nearby village and booked two rooms in an inn for themselves. Tang Hao went in the nearby market to gather supplies for their stay in the village. They both quickly ate their food and once again went towards the Star Duo forest.

4 years passed away uneventfully as Ryusei turned 10 years old. And, at this moment, he was returning back to the inn in which he and Tang Hao were staying together. During these years, he had grown significantly taller and was around 138 cm in height. He had Short Messy Black hair which fluttered around his Deep Blue Eyes freely when air currents passed through his hair.

He had also successfully become a Rank 45 Spirit Ancestor and had three more Spirit Abilities, his 2nd Spirit Ring was from a 6000-year-old Beast, Black Scaled Viper which gave him the Ability: Purple Lightning Barrier. His 3rd Spirit Ring was from a 16,000-year-old-Beast, Scarlet Lightning Tiger which gave him the Ability: Lightning Flash.

And his 4th Spirit Ability was a mutated ring from a 21,000-year-old Thunderfire Lion which gave him the Ability: Thunderfire Dragon. He also got two spirit bones, one from the Scarlet Lightning Tiger, which gave him a right legged spirit bone and it increased his speed and increased the power of his right leg.

He then also got a similar left legged spirit bone of the Thunder Fire Lion which boosted his speed and power of his left leg as well. Both of the Spirit bones almost had the same amount of power and speed and gave him a stably balanced powered Spirit Bones in his legs and it also made him capable of using these Spirit Bones to amplify his speed to their full potential.

His Purple Lightning Barrier creates a spherical force field made of Pure Purple Lightning Energy around his body. It protects the user from attacks from all sides and attacks with a numbing sensation whenever a enemy comes in contact with it. While Lightning Flash increases his speed exponentially, so much that he could move fast like a flash within a 100 metres range but he could only use it to move in a straight line. But he has to stop himself to change direction and once again use this ability, and as he is a spirit ancestor, he can only use his Lightning Flash four times consecutively and then he has to wait for 3 minutes of cool down period to use his Lightning Flash ability once again.

His Thunder Fire Dragon was a Dragon consisting of highly compressed Thunder and Fire elements mixed together. It was a ranged AoE attack ability with great power as it could be controlled around the area of 200 meters and could be denoted by the will of the user. It would detonate upon contact with enemies releasing a chaotic explosion of a mixture of thunder and fire energies annihilating everything in its path. Its explosion would injure the enemies with a shock from thunder energy and burn from fire energy. It was a highly volatile attack that was difficult to control upon detonation.
