Awakening (1)

Her past self smirked. "Don't get bold on me just because you had an awakening you will have plenty of opportunity to help Yan'er." She pulled out a jar from her sleeve. "I can make this training quite rewarding not only in strength but by treasure as well. This is a thousand year old fire flower gifted to me by my beloved it can be yours if you continue."

Shi Rongs eyes glowed with happiness.

"I know this is one of the ingredients required it will be stored within the pavilion upon the ending of your training."

Shi Rong stood up straight with a gaze full of determination. "Then let's continue."

"Then let's keep this short if I teach you everything I want to teach you now then it'll consume to much time." She picked up a naginata and walked forward. "I shall teach you how to control the Heavenly Divine Beasts."

She raised her hand as twelve spiritual versions of each Heavenly beast appeared. They were all in their beasts form each slightly transparent and glowed a different color.

"Every beast once contracted is attached to your soul by a spiritual string. You can think of yourself as the puppet master when controlling the beasts. Concentrate your Qi energy to find the beasts spiritual string you want to control then give it a pull."

Shi Rong closed her eyes as she envisioned twelve different colored strings. She reached her hand out towards the glowing purple string and gave it a pull.

The faint transparent tiger flinched.

She envisioned herself spinning the string around on her fingers as she played with them using her fingers.

The transparent tiger walked forward then backwards before he jumped into the air and landed.

"I can see you got the hang of it however I suggest you practice a few times to really master this technique."

She continued to play with the different colored strings as she watched the different actions of the spiritual beasts.

Finally she was able to pull the strings with the power of her mind without having to use her arms.

They jumped around the field in unison before running laps in unison.

Her past self observed her progress as she nodded in satisfaction. "Excellent you have come a long way Shi Rong, thou you have much to learn I feel you are trained well enough in physical, mental and spiritual strength.

Shi Rong turned around and stared at her past self. "Thank you."
