33% Spirit Martial Artist (DD) / Chapter 33: Core Creation

章節 33: Core Creation

Inside Xue Long's mind Golden Dragon King Martial Spirit grabbed the tiger's mouth with both of its clawed hands and started to pull the jaws apart. 

Slowly severing the entire mouth apart. It was a simple and brutal method to end the nuisance which had the devouring ability.

It wanted to 'eat', so he is giving a first-class ticket to the meal it wanted so much.

Eventually, the Golden Dragon King has destroyed the Tiger's remnant consciousness and the Fourth Prince can focus on absorbing the ring.

~~~~~~Outside~~~~~~

"Well, he was successful. Youngest Spirit Sage in Douluo Continent." Snake Lance Douluo said with quite a proud tone as he saw the seventh ring appear next to the six others behind the Prince. This one while had that golden light around it, there was still that smoky black miasma around it.

"Not for long. Did you sense how much his Spirit Energy increased? Evil DevilGod Tiger gave quite a boost in cultivation and with him not getting his ring for months has leapfrog his cultivation at least halfway to Spirit Douluo." Dugu Bo said that as he sensed how rapidly the prince's cultivation has been increasing!

Eventually, Xue Long opened his eyes and slowly stood up. He inspected himself for a bit. 

A few moments later golden aura surrounded him and he unleashed his spirit energy. 

His power roared to life as he sensed how much pressure it is generating. 

"This should be enough." He said that to himself as he stopped channelling his energy and then looked at the corpse of the beast.

It was still there.

"Spirit bone huh…" 

He walked over and used his sword to cut open the carcass more and pulled what looked like wings. 

"It is said that Evil DevilGod Tiger wings can make one fly so fast that it appears like he is teleporting." Snake Lance Douluo said as he saw what kind of spirit bone it was.

"I see… fascinating loot I got this time." He said that as he inspected the wings. 

"You already have wings but I believe they could merge and form something completely different." Dugu Bo said that as he had thoughtful look.

"I suppose it would. Their form is similar to my ones. So let's try it out."

Such casual comments have made the pair of Titled Douluo somewhat freaked out. Those are external bones! Not only they are extremely rare but same time they are permanently attached to their bodies! 

You can just 'try' and 'let's see'.

"My Prince you don't just try them out. You either fuse with them or not! These are 80 thousand-year-old bones! Extremely rare and precious! If you don't want them Spirit Hall will pay you an enormous amount of gold or any other resources!" Snake Lance Douluo said that with a serious tone.

"He is right. Spirit Bones are extremely precious, especially the external spirit bones." Dugu Bo chipped in from the side. 

"Right. Then let's fuse with it." 

Seeing how serious those two were Xue Long decided to fuse with these wings, he wants to see if his speed will increase as they said!

Sure enough, he sit down on the ground and started the process of fusing with the external bone.

~~~

Around an hour later it was done. When the Fourth Prince stood up pair of draconic/demonic dull gold wings with a black undertone manifested behind him.

That moment a small frown appeared on his face. He can sense that the control is not perfect. This means he will need to dedicate time to train in control of these new wings.

Though, first, he decided to test them out. With a single beat of his wings, he was gone and appeared several metres in the sky. 

"Not bad. The way they work is not normal they use some sort of energy or laws. It could be wind or even space." Xue Long said that with a curious tone. Before a smirk appeared on his face.

Did he just get a shortcut to the laws with the tiger he just slayed? 

While the ring he absorbed gave him the true body skill which all Seventh rings do. But he got that little bit of extra with the nucleus and the spirit bone from this kill!

Simply fantastic!

'Now to make that core and get rings for girls and the bird for Ke'er and I am all set!' 

With another beat of the new wings, he appeared in his previous position. 

"It appears the legends you said are true." Xue Long said that as his wings have disappeared.

"Since we have your ring sorted out we should proceed with the next hunt?" Dugu Bo asked that with crossed arms.

"Yes. You girls can proceed I still need to do something." 

"?"

"?"

"?"

"Long! We not going to do this separately!" The blonde angel girl walked over and with a huff said that to him.

*Sigh*

"You do know that this can take me a day or even two days. You going to waste time."

Even after saying that his fiance didn't budge.

"Fine. Then stay. Pull out the tents. Because this is going to take time." As he said that he looked around for a good place to sit.

"...What is it you going to do for that long?" Qian Renxue asked curiously. She knows from experience that he doesn't do anything which can be considered wasteful.

Even his 'wasteful' time spent in the academy is not wasteful at all. He still does his training. He still trains his martial arts he even gets inspiration from watching other people's Martial Spirits and Spirit Rings abilities.

This is why she believes that whatever he does he still gets something out of it.

"Create a Spirit core."

"Spirit…Core? What is that?" 

To answer back to her question he pulled out a pitch black nucleus of Evil DevilGod Tiger. 

"Spirit beast or human can form them when their power reaches a certain point. One of these will increase the amount of Spirit Energy I release and regenerate. On top of it all one can give it an attribute as well. 

Making me generally simply stronger." 

Hearing that. The pair of Titled Douluo's got their attention peaked. Since a Spirit Sage can do it they should be able to do this as well!? Right?

"Yes, you two could do it. Only if you fail you might explode. So be careful." 

"...I might try it when I see how you do it." Snake Lance Douluo said that as he showed a fake smile. 

"I agree with him. I will do that as well when I see how you do it." The green-haired Poison Douluo said with his fake smile as well.

"Wait! Is it truly safe!?" The blonde angel girl said that with a nervous tone.

"I been practising since I had my third ring. It's easier for me since I've been using the basis of Heaven and Earth Energy." After hearing his explanation Qian Renxue slightly calmed down.

Though she was still nervous. The risk of explosion tends to do that.

~~~

Since the group didn't want to split up a small camp was set up. The maid who were trained in pretty much any sort of art quickly showed how good they were in setting up camp and making some simple food. 

Though this was short-lived as Xue Long unleashed his Domain and the pair of Titled Douluo's didn't want to waste this opportunity and decided to cultivate. While the girls thought it will be a good time to train their Lotus Meditation since everyone was doing something!

While Xue Long he started to condense three energies into a single spot. Which will be his first Spirit Core.

Using the basis of how both Heaven and Earth energies descend and converge in a single point he started to create the core.

As time progressed a ball of energy started to form between his hands. Since he was using the standing meditation form his palm were facing each other and between them was the growing core.

Slowly as it was growing in size it eventually reached the size that it can be merged with his body.

The whole process lasted for a day and one could say this was the longest he ever spend doing a single thing.

"So that's a Spirit Core. It looks similar to the Spirit Beast nucleus." 

"Interesting concept, with such core a Spirit Master one could fight longer and one could deliver more damage through their Spirit Ring abilities." Dugu Bo said that with crossed arms. This whole thing is ingenious and he wonders where the little monster has picked this up from. 

As the pair were talking the maids and blonde angel girl were watching with bated breath as the most difficult part is going to be next as they know this is where he is going to fuse with it!

And so they watched nerviously how he was doing it.

5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, eventually around when hour passed they saw him getting better. He was no longer twitching from pain which they could see him going through…

Then… out of nowhere, they saw his Martial Spirit, appear behind him!

"Something is wrong!" Qian Renxue jumped right on her feet as she saw the Golden Dragon King appear! 

Her instincts were telling her that something is about to happen! Xue Long would not make his Martial Spirit simply appear like this! 

"Hmm? Saintess what are you—" Snake Lance was confused about the Saintess behaviour but then they saw they saw Golden Dragon King coil around the Prince and turn into golden particles and enter his body…

The next moment gust of wind exploded from the prince's body. Golden-red aura surrounded him and he has merged with his martial Spirit. However, this merger was more… feral, animalistic, sharper draconic features. More horns appeared on his head.

"...Second Martial Spirit awakening?" Dugu Bo's eyes were wide when he said that.

What kind of ridiculous Martial Spirit is this!? It was already a top-class thing when it first awoke! With innate Rank at 20! Now from the looks of it… it had a second awakening!

Though Na'er looked at this with narrowed eyes.

'No, it's not Second Spirit Awakening. It's better or worse… the core my prince formed just turned into Golden Dragon King core. It appears it was put in the Martial Spirit, the moment a regular core was created the martial Spirit reworked it into the Golden Dragon King core.

Truly the Original Golden Dragon King was a genius when he did this. Only truly worthy will be able to Inherit its true power.' Na'er thought about this with a smile, a smile which was short-lived as she heard the loud Dragon roar escape from her prince. 

It was an angry one!

***Roar***

Slowly Xue Long stood up and turned around towards the two Titled Douluo. The pair quickly noticed that the prince's eyes were pure red and glowing with anger and malice. It's as if he lost control, completely.

As they were about to get ready to face him. Which they think can be a very dangerous battle. The Fourth Prince moved.

Not the way they predicted! As the prince has slipped! Slipped! Landing face first into the ground!

The pair of Titled Douluo's were confused as hell! This is the kid who is a martial maniac! Even if the reason is gone the body itself is trained to be a fighting machine! How did he slip!?

Though sure enough. What they saw blew their minds!

Prince lifted his head and slammed into the ground! Without anyone touching him!

"T-This… what is going on?"

"Even… when anger took over he is fighting it back?" 

Sure enough, Qian Renxue's guess was right as they saw him repeatedly slam his head into the ground and then grab his head with both hands.

Start screaming before, a pillar of light exploded from his body and rushed into the sky. 

Slowly forming into a huge Ghostly Lotus Flower. Which was getting more and more real!

The moment it fully formed, it started to open up and release golden particles to the ground where the struggling Fourth Prince was standing. 

The moment these particles touched the body of Xue Long, he stopped struggling and his red eyes turned pure gold and a cocoon of gold started to envelop him.

"...I-I think he had a breakthrough to the next stage of Lotus Meditation!" The blonde said with realisation. She noticed the pattern in the cultivation of this meditation!

Since the flower became solid it should have broken to the next stage!

章節 34: The Rest of Rings and a Swan?

As the golden lotus was floating in the air it started to emit a golden radiance of energy, the moment the cacoon has fully formed around Xue Long body.

His followers could only watch with awe thinking what this means and which stage of meditation this was. What does it do what kind of benefits he will gain from this?

They already know that each stage makes one more and more capable in pretty much anything. But progressing through each stage takes a considerable amount of time as one needs to unravel more things about oneself.

So, seeing how the fourth Prince just advanced to the next stage is quite an eye-opening experience. 

Especially when the lotus flower each time glows it…affects them as well! It's like… it simply makes sense in what was happening! Even though they have no idea what was happening.

Eventually, the lotus flower fully bloomed and exploded into golden particles which fused with the golden cacoon.

Then the cacoon started to blink in a golden glow, beating like a heart.

"Did…his cultivation just increased?" 

"Yes. It appears so. By a rank or two. Strangely, it happened without being…" Dugu Bo looked around and realised that the area is still heavily influenced by the energies of Heaven and Earth.

But to leap a few ranks like that? Especially in the stage the prince was. This is simply absurd.

Eventually, the cacoon cracked and shattered completely. Revealing the Fourth Prince who looked identical to how he was before. Nothing has changed!

"Long! Are you alright!?" Qian Renxue used her martial spirit and floated right into him. Xue Long caught her quite easily.

He then hugged her and hold her for a few moments. The blonde angel girl used that moment to recharge her 'batteries' as well by snuggling into him. She felt positive vibes washing her over! It was amazing!

Eventually, he answered her question.

"Yes. The Golden Dragon King changing the core into his one caught me by surprise. It didn't last long though." He said that with a serious tone. 

"I see… never heard anything like this before. Not that I heard anything about Martial Spirits giving cores…

Not that Spirit Cores is something my Spirit Hall knows about…" The blonde said that with a thoughtful look. She is thinking to tell about this to her grandfather and Snake Lance will most likely tell this to THAT woman as well.

"Well, for now, let's forget about this and focus on getting rings for you and my maids." 

She slowly nodded at him. Truthfully she wants to find out more about the Spirit core. But at the moment they are in Spirit Beast forest and there will be enough time to ask him when they are back at home.

~~~

A golden beam slammed into a bird of considerable size and burn one of its wings. The blast was so powerful that the bird lost its entire wing which forced it to crash on the ground.

Qian Renxue's fifth spirit ring glowed and a holy sword appeared in her hand. She used this to kill the bird.

Moments later a black ring manifested above the dead body of the bird.

"Impressive. The power of your energy attacks has increased significantly." Dugu Bo said that as he just saw how quickly a 70 thousand-year beast has been dealt with by the Prince's casual energy attack…

The density and speed at which this energy is charged went up by quite a bit. This can be explained by increased cultivation and the creation of the core. 

Though the Poison Douluo is leaning towards Core creation. Then cultivation rank. There was that heaviness in the Spirit energy which made these attacks more deadly.

'Maybe this is what he means that I can be Assault system Spirit Master? If I make one of these cores and learn how to make these energy attacks… I could easily bypass the weaknesses of the Control System.' 

Truthfully Dugu Bo had quite a bit of time to think about this. These kids could take care of themselves quite easily…

More like the pair of Titled Douluos benefit quite a bit when they could cultivate the whole day in the Cultivation Domain and found out about the Spirt Core. Now they know how to get stronger not just by increasing their Ranks!

"Hmm. Yes. The gathering speed and compression increased significantly. Cultivation pressure helps in that. Though it's because Spirit Energy on its own was improved considerably.

I can feel that the core is improved with Heaven and Earth Energies." 

The Poison Douluo's eyes widened as he realised that this core is even better than normal which is most likely because it was created inside the Cultivation domain!

"I see… does this means this is what you meant by making me assault system Spirit Master?"

"Part of it. Just because you can make beams of energy doesn't make you Assault System Spirit Master. My idea is to help you develop martial style to fit you and your Martial Spirit." Xue Long said that with crossed arms as he watched Qian Renxue absorb her Seventh Ring.

"...Hmm… my martial arts? I assume based on snakes?"

"Yes. Na'er herself has developed spear style based on tiger lunging and hand-to-hand combat based on Dragon attacking. So you can develop one through observing snake movements and how they strike. I thought suggest watching a viper. They are more ferocious." 

Dugu Bo casually nodded he knows well enough about which snake he should observe.

"I will see, If I can find one." After saying that the man disappeared from the position to look for snakes.

Xue Long could only shake his head in amusement at how quickly he sorted it out. He knows of snake style. There was a kung-fu style on that. Though one needs extremely strong fingers or more like nails which would fit a woman's fighting style more. 

He is pretty sure he could give some tips to his granddaughter to get the style done and brought into this world.

~~~

A big rhino-like creature run into Xue Long who with one hand grabbed the front horn. The collision pushed him back several metres before the beast was stopped in its tracks.

He lifted it with one hand as the other one was gathering golden energy. The prince then pushed the spirit beats up.

The beast is that it was in trouble and started to thrash around, trying to get out of this situation.

Then the fourth prince threw the beast into the air, pointing his other hand which had gathered energy into the air and released a beam of devastating energy. 

The blast released a ton of energy which send shockwaves into all sides and slammed into the rhino which was the target of this attack.

Once the blast has settled down, the scorched-up rhino landed on the ground with a loud thud.

"He is all ready for you Na'er." Xue Long said that as he looked at the twitching rhino.

The maid quickly rushed over and stabbed the beast in its neck where the plates were the thinnest. In truth, both maids and Qian Renxue were in awe seeing how casually their prince is dealing with spirit beasts.

They didn't expect to get such a big power boost. Before he wasn't able to shoot beams so casually it would take him a long time to charge them and they were not as useful because of it.

Now however it was different, the speed of charging up increased considerably and from the looks of it, he only needs these beams to fight!

~~~

Once Na'er got her Earth Attribute Spirit Ring it was time to look for a fox which would go to Hu Liena. His fox girl is slowly becoming quite the illusionist and opportunistic type of fighter.

One could say she could easily be his assassin maid. But then again he would prefer if she could mess with people's heads with her illusions.

There is that sense of amusement seeing enemies end up fighting each other before they could even attack their main true enemy.

"There is one in that cave over there. From the looks of it has dark attributes." Snake Lance Douluo said with a thoughtful look as he scouted out the cave. 

"Dark attribute? This one is going to be quick…" As Xue Long said that he casually started to walk towards the cave. 

Slowly his body glowed with a Diamond-like aura. Behind him, a monk manifested though people instantly noticed difference… the monk's skin was pure gold!

Did it change because he reached the next stage in the cultivation!?

The moment Xue Long was inside the cave he released Deva Diamond Radiance and scorched the fox. Then there was a loud smack…

A few moments later the prince came out with a fox which he was pulling by the tail. The spirit beast has been knocked out.

The group had a sweat droop look when they saw how he was treating at least 50 to 60 thousand-year-old beast…

"Here it is. I think you will gain another illusion-based Spirit Ring." The Fourth Prince dropped the fox in front of Hu Liena who dumbly nodded at him. This was the first time where he was this proactive. 

Though they can guess that he wants to return to the academy so he is dealing with everything quickly enough.

Hu Liena quickly pulled out her short sword and finished off the beast and moments later she started to absorb the black ring.

It's going to take some time so Xue Long went over and found a good spot to relax. Using this opportunity Qian Renxue ended up sitting next to him.

She quickly felt very positive vibes coming from him which she can guess that it comes from the fact that his very being has been affected by that breakthrough in his Lotus Meditation.

Not that I mattered much! The best part was that she feels extra warm just by snuggling to him!

While the blonde fiance of his was smuggling into him, the Fourth Prince was more curious to look at how Dugu Bo found a viper Spirit beast and watching it how it attacks and coils and does its natural things. It is amusing to watch how the Poison Douluo doesn't care at all for all those poisonous bites…

The snake itself didn't realise that its bites mean nothing to the old man and he is treating the snake like a test subject and a pet!

Eventually, Hu Liena got her ring and her cultivation nearly went halfway to rank 65.

However…

The carcass didn't disappear, the blonde maid quickly realised that and quickly started to dissect it!

Pulling out a tailbone!

"Another External Spirit bone! What nonsense luck is this?" Dugu Bo said that as he was holding a viper snake. The snake in question is trying to bite his finger off… not that I was having any sort of luck…

"It will fit you nicely Liena so absorb it." Xue Long casually said that as he was stroking the blond hair of the angel girl.

The girl quickly nodded with the giddy look and started to absorb it.

"Hmm…My Prince… look over there." Na'er said that as she pointed at a tree.

Xue Long's gaze went to the side where Na'er has pointed to him.

What he saw was exquisite-looking emerald Swan which was looking curiously at him.

"What a beautiful Spirit Beast!" Qian Renxue said with wide eyes. 

"Indeed! It will make an incredible pet for Princess Ke'er" Snake Lance Douluo said that as well. 

However, what baffled the Prince was that… this Spirit Beast should be over 100 thousand years old. So why the Titled Douluo's didn't pick this up?

'Perhaps she has means to hide her aura? Well, it doesn't matter. Such a beautiful bird. There is no way I will allow it to get away. It will fit with my little sister nicely especially when her Martial Spirit is a Heavenly Swan.' As the Fourth Prince thought about that he walked over to where the swan was. 

He could see extreme intelligence in the creature's eyes. As someone who always looks into people's eyes, Xue Long can pick up that this is indeed THE Emerald Swan. 

There was a short period of staring at each other before Xue Long extended his hand and the Emerald Swan landed on his hand.

He stroked the bird's feathers gently.

"What a beautiful bird you are. My sister will love you alot. I can promise you that." He said that softly as he was enjoying the softness of those feathers. 

There was a slight blush on the cheeks of the bird. Which… it mean it fully understood what the prince has said. However, he pretended that he didn't see it…
