章節 30: Chapter 30: Meeting the GrandMaster
Walking out, I found Xiao San as well as grandpa Jack. It's like I said before, but I'm going to Nouding Town to stock up on supplies and grandpa Jack will be driving me.
"Xiao San, take care of yourself. In our next meeting I want you to be stronger."
"Alright brother Yang, in the next meeting I will definitely beat you."
"Hahahaha, I'll wait, even if it's impossible."
Xiao San escorted me to the village gate, when I got on the cart and left the village. I can still see Xiao San waving at me.
You little brother, you make me a little sad with a small parting like this.
And like that, I left Holy Spirit Village.
The journey to the city of Nouding is not far, riding a donkey-drawn cart only takes half a day.
We arrived in the afternoon, saw the tall and big city walls. Nouding City is not a big city.
It was just that Nouding city was near the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Lou Empire.
Due to its location near the border, Nouding city needed strong defenses.
In front of the city gate, the horse carriage driven by Jack's grandfather stopped.
"Why did Grandpa Jack stop?"
I asked while looking at the massive and extremely sturdy looking city wall.
"Xiao Kai, grandpa won't be coming into town. So from now on you will be alone."
"Why don't you just come in?"
"A place like a hotel isn't a place for a villager like me. You've packed all the provisions right? When you enter the city you should go straight to the Spirit Hall Branch."
Ah right, the reason I gave Grandpa Jack for going to town was to join Spirit Hall. Because previously Su Yuntao did not come to pick up.
It seemed Tang Hao's beating had done a great job of messing with Su Yuntao's memory.
After Jack's grandfather spoke to the city gatekeeper, he got into the carriage and turned towards the village.
Guided by the gatekeeper, I entered the city. As soon as I entered the city, I was immediately greeted by a crowd of people.
The gatekeeper returned to his work and left me directions for the Spirit Hall branch.
But the Spirit Hall branch isn't my goal, for now let's rent an inn. I'll think about my next move later in the evening.
I randomly chose an inn, in front of the receptionist for registration. I disguised my purpose, identity, and also background.
It would be strange for a six year old child to rent a hotel room alone.
You know there are movies that have the same story, but it's just a movie, ok? Don't believe what happens in the movies, because it's all fabricated.
After much effort, I managed to trick the receptionist and rented a room for three days. I can't just head straight to the Star Dou Forest.
First I have to gather information and also secure supplies.
I plan to stay in Nouding City for three days, tomorrow to gather supplies and information then the day after tomorrow I'll depart.
For today, let's take a break and have some fun.
The next day when I was looking for supplies and inquired about the location of the Star Dou Forest.
I bought a very complete and detailed map and bought supplies that would last me a few days.
After all, I'll be stopping back at a town close to the Star Dou Great Forest to gather information.
In the afternoon, almost night. I met a man who looked around 40 years old. His hair was black, his body emaciated.
He sat in a tavern alone and ate food alone, because all the tables in the tavern were full, I had to join that man.
He claimed to have the most complete knowledge of Spirit Masters, so I asked him a few things that might be of use.
I asked him if he knew the way to the Star Dou Forest and the powerful Spirit Beasts there.
"Hey kid, what are you going to such a dangerous place like the Star Dou Forest for?"
"My name is Yang Kai, the reason I want to go to the Star Dou Forest is to obtain a Spirit Ring."
I'll be honest this time, he's just an ordinary person I'll meet once. So I thought it was okay to tell him.
Moreover what could he do if he found out the real reason I wanted to go to the Star Dou Forest?
"Alright Yang Kai, I am GrandMaster. Everyone calls me GrandMaster to the point where I even forget my own name."
After getting acquainted and exchanging pleasantries for a while, I seem to know this person. Not a direct acquaintance, but I only know his name.
"GrandMaster? Are you the famous GrandMaster? The one who wrote the ten core spirit competency theories?"
" Oh! Do you know me? That's right, I am the famous GrandMaster."
I'm surprised, how come? The person in front of me was no ordinary character. He was widely known throughout the continent, albeit in a bad way.
He was called GrandMaster because of the theories about Spirit he wrote, all the theories he wrote had no proof.
Because of this he was deemed insane, and given the nickname GrandMaster which is intended to insult not praise.
"No, I don't know you. Just having heard, I heard that you are a gifted genius when it comes to theory."
"Do you know the ten core spirit competency theories I wrote about?"
"No, I've only heard about it from my father."
As a merchant, my father sold many things. Merchants get their goods from various places, therefore, information is usually spread faster through merchants.
"Is your father a merchant? You said earlier that you wanted to go to the Star Dou Forest to obtain a Spirit Ring, is that true?"
"Yes that's right, what else did you go to the Star Dou Forest for besides obtaining a Spirit Ring?"
"I see… Yang Kai, to absorb Spirit Rings you need to be in a bottleneck. Are you already at level 10?"
"Yes, a few days ago during spirit awakening. I have full innate spirit power."
"Is that true! Genius, by the way what Spirit did you awaken?"
GrandMaster held my shoulder and asked excitedly. How about this? What should I answer? Do I have to answer that? I don't think it's mandatory.
After all, telling my secret to someone you don't trust is stupid. Well, this time I will not answer it.
"Sorry, I don't think I can just tell my secret to others. Even though you are the GrandMaster, you are still a complete stranger to me."
"I see… Yang Kai, the Star Dou Forest is too dangerous for a kid like you. Even that place is still dangerous for a powerful Spirit Master.
How about you look for Spirit Rings in the Spirit Hunting Forest instead? The Spirit Hunting Forest was not too far from this Nouding town.
Also, the Spirit Beasts over there aren't that strong. I can help get the Spirit Ring but on one condition."
GrandMaster said and raised his finger. His voice was hoarse but calm, there was also a hint of joy in it.
" What's that…"
Actually the Spirit Hunting Forest wasn't my goal, in the first place my goal was the Star Dou Forest. I don't care if it's a dangerous place.
That's precisely what I wanted, the more dangerous the place, the better it would be for my practice.
"I want you to be my student, you must acknowledge me as your teacher."
What? Are you kidding me? Be your student? Recognize you as a teacher? I subconsciously let out a burning killing intent.
Hahahaha, is this guy going to die? All my life, I only had one teacher. I will never acknowledge anyone else as my guru.
I deeply respected my teacher from my previous life. He's the one who taught me all the powerful fighting techniques. Even though the training he gave me was cruel but it was all for my sake.
I'm also very proud of my teacher, before I only knew that he was very strong. But when I found out that he is the legendary Sword King. My pride became unbearable.
"Sorry but I'm not interested in being your student."
With a gloomy mood, I turned to leave and answered GrandMaster in an extremely cold voice, the air frozen and the burning killing intent frightened everyone around.
"Wait, I certainly can't teach you how to fight. But I can teach you the knowledge of Spirits, I'm also willing to teach all my theories to you if you're willing to become my student!!!"
But unexpectedly, GrandMaster was very stubborn and took my hand. He still hasn't given up on making me his disciple.
"I don't have much time, so don't bother me."
I slapped GrandMaster's hand and walked away. Today I feel bad.
I lost my intention to look up information about the Star Dou Forest. I'd better head back to the inn and calm down.
I kept walking and ignored GrandMaster who was still chasing and saying nonsense things.
I just ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist. Until finally GrandMaster gave up and left me.
This fellow was quite stubborn, but it was a wise choice. Because if he's still following me.
I intend to lead him to a deserted place and secretly kill him.
I returned to the inn and rested on the bed.
Today's quest failed, I will continue again tomorrow. Besides I'm not in a hurry, I can relax a bit and enjoy my time.
The journey to the Star Dou Forest would definitely take a long time. That's why I also have to prepare a vehicle, should I ride a horse?
But with this small body, it was impossible.
Forget it, I could ride a train carriage.
Hopefully tomorrow won't bother you anymore...
And so, I ended the day sleeping.
