Training Team?

In the show case room. There were hundreds of stands each with an object on it displayed. They also had a stone tablet that had Buyout and highest bid on it with numbers underneath.

The was full but compared to the streets it was crowded. There were at least fifty people walking around checking the items.

Leon and Pace left Elena and checked the things for sale.

"So Leon I don't think you have any money left. Right? I have around hundred thousand gold."

"Actually Brother I do have money. I didn't want to surprise you but I have around seventy thousand gold. Those weapons sold for a lot."

"Blacksmithing really is a money making skill! I was joking earlier but now you actually have to teach me."

"Sure, I wasn't joking I'll teach you Blacksmithing whenever you want. So brother Pace what do you want to buy? Anything specific."

"I need something for Fiona. She is still at leave seven redstar I want to evolve her soon. What about you Leon?"

Fiona was the flame Cat beast Pace had contracted. Leon remembered form earlier when Pace had brought it to his house.

"I recently contracted a Blood Sparrow. I want something for that."

"Okay let's look... Did you just say you contracted another beast?"

"Right I already reached the third petal of the three Flower Petal art."

Leon decided to talk about the Blood Sparrow. He would be summoning it to fight his battle now, other then the Frost Snake that was still sleeping on his head. The tiger and tail were too eye catching. He had already let the girl in the forest catch a glimpse of it to see how she would react. He could tell she was interested. Although the interest wasn't strong enough to fight him for it.

But Leon was sure real high level cultivators wouldn't think twice too kill him for the tiger. Contracting a beast required a you to level up in the art. As Leon couldn't reveal the Nine Thrones Soul technique he went with what he was expected to cultivate the technique everyone in the clan had the three Flower Petal technique.

"Brother you are talented. Even I took a year to reach level three you did it in less then a month. The Clan head would be so pleased to hear this. It looks like you have a talent for Soul energy."

Pace and Leon continued their conversation as they walked. Leon didn't find anything that he liked. He bought a Pure Blood Fruit as it was the only thing moderately useful. Pace bought Pure Fire Fruits and some blood of a Fire Lion.

Leaving the Auction Leon flew back with Pace to the Tavern. It was a lot more full. He could see that he recognised a few faces.

Pace said "Leon the training team has returned let's go meet them."

Pace dragged Leon to a table with seven people sitting around. Leon recognised Clayde and Anastasia.

Pace introduced them "These two you might know them. These are the new members: Clyde and Anestasia. They arrived a few days a ago with Elder Faris on his Silver Flame Crane. Leon why didn't you come with them you would have arrived much earlier."

Leon just laughed it off.

While Clyde answered. "Elder Faris had heard about Leon wanting to come and had asked about him, but Leon's parents told him that he left directly after the tournament. We couldn't find Leon so we left."

Pace laughed "Well you made it soon enough."

Pace then introduced the rest he soon said. "I don't see Dwight has he left?"

Someone form the group answered. "He was tired and turned to bed early."

Pace sighed "He was given the team leader position, it is tiring. I remember when I was team leader..."

"Pace this is nice and all but what is the training team?"

"Right! No one told you. The top ten in the clan competition form a team to train together. You are also in it, but you left in such a hurry no one got to tell you." Pace then said "If your wondering why Dwight is the team leader it's because the person with the highest potential becomes the team leader. The Clan head wanted Eos to take the position but she declined. So Dwight took it."

"That's but nice brother but I think I'll train by myself. It's a lot faster. So I'll be going. Pace Thank you for taking me to the Auction today, you really saved me." Leon then turned to leave.

"You think we will slow you down. Although you won the competition I don't see how you got so arrogant so quickly as someone two years older then us." Anastasia who was quite the whole time suddenly said.

"What of it. You will slow me down. You guys already look like a mess after just going into the edges of the Flowing Blood Forest. I might as well train by myself."

Pace joined the conversation, he looked "Leon you went deeper into the Forest?!"

"Brother Pace I got lost when coming here." Leon said diverging his eyes.

Pace calmed down "You're fine now but don't go deeper in alone. It's dangerous there are many orangestar beast."

"Sure Brother Pace, bye."

"Wait, where are you going aren't you staying here?"

"No I rented a room at a nearby inn. I didn't know that all Flamesmith members could live here." Leon said.

"Well fine come meet when ever you want then. The training Team will be going out tomorrow."

"Precisely at noon." Clyde added.

Pace rolled his eyes and said "You can come if you want to."

"I won't wait for him." Anastasia added

Leon left the Tavern and went to the Heavenly Leaf Inn. He went to his room and sat on the bed.

"That took way to long." He stretched a little and took the new ring he had gotten. He then took off the ring he was currently wearing and wore the new one. Emptying everything out into the new one as well.

FInally he took out the glass cube.

"What is this?" Leon looked at it form different angles and then decided to squeeze it. Although it felt hard his hand easily went in squishing the cube. Leon realised what it was.

"No way! This is beast jelly? Such low quality!" Leon was surprised and appalled. Beast jelly is made using the energy of Dead Beast. However the process was hard and took ages to do. Leon didn't have the patience in his past life so he never learned. Eating the whole beast jelly allowed the beast who ate it to get an ability of the Beast that it was made from.

"The quality is horrendous so no good ability will probably form but it's good for the Blood Bird."

Leon then left the city. He didn't wait long to hide his aura and disappear in the forest. This time he aimed for the mountains in the distance. Specifically the tallest one that stood in center.

He summoned the two beast the sparrow, tiger and tail.

"You guys have an exciting day ahead! I'll make sure by tomorrow at least one of you evolves!"

The snake that had been sleeping on Leon's head the whole time woke up. It got off Leon and listened to Leon.

"Tiger and tail how is Flame Step doing? Did you learn it?"

The small tiger and the snake tail jumped together in to the air. The tiger then stood on it. It had Pulses of Flame energy coming out of its claws keeping it afloat. It took a step forward but lost its balance and fell.

"Close I see." Leon then looks at the Blood Sparrow. "I need something for you to learn. How about Bloodlight. It is an attacking ability. It allows the user to shoot Blood beams out of their eyes."

The tiger was in shock. Why are you letting the bird choose. You didn't let us choose. You just told us to do it. It tried to make the Frost Snake join him but the snake just ignored it. The tail snake however said that it agreed with the tiger.

Ignoring the protest Leon watched the Blood Sparrow nod.

"Good. So I'll slowly teach you a way to practice it. First eat this." Leon took out the jelly. He wasn't sure which ability was inside it but feeling the energy it was Blood element ability.

The sparrow didn't hesitate and chowed down. After eating the whole thing it started at Leon.

"Anything different do you feel like you can do something new?"

The Blood Sparrow nodded it then flicked its wings and feathers shot at the tree in front.

"You learned Feather as expected not as strong but still enough since you have another attacking ability."

Leon then walked around with the beasts looking for opponents.

Leon and the beast fought with a Blood bear. They even ran into a pack of Blood wolves. Finally another Blood centipede. He had scouted most of the mountain and made sure nothing would come in his way as his plan progresses.

Leon set up camp and ate the Blood Bear meat.

"So none of you evolved through fighting. Serpentine Tiger it looks like you're not making anymore improvements on the Flame step. NetherWorld Frost Snake you're stuck as well at Level nine redstar. Looks that evolution is making it harder to level up. There is a lack of ice energy in this environment. Blood Sparrow you reached five redstar level and got better at fighting which is good."

In his head Leon said "I've also reached level eight summing apprentice. I don't think I'll be able to reach the third level of Formless aura or Fourth level of Nine Thrones soul technique soon. As for the Blood Orbs technique we reached level two. I'll reach the peak now."

"Blood Sparrow let's practice, come here."

Leon and the Blood Sparrow cultivated. As he did this Leon decided to take out the Pure Blood Fruit. He gave it to the Blood Sparrow and it provides the final energy to reach the peak of the level.

"I said at least one of you will evolve and I wasn't lying." Leon took out the Blood he bought from the Auction.

"So sparrow which one do you like?" The sparrow went close to the Blood of the Infernal Demon Swallow it stared and scrutinized it but choose the Sun Peng Blood in the end.

Leon nodded knowing this would happen. The Infernal demon swallow was an evil and Blood element beast. As it had the evil element it contrasted the Sparrows holy element. However it was much closer to the sparrow in abilities. If it was a normal Blood sparrow it would have gained more from the infernal Demon blood.

Leon put his finger in the bottle of the infernal Demon Swallow. He formed a rune put of Soul energy which sucked some type of dark grey energy from the Blood.

He then gave it the sparrow and asked "Now which one would you choose?" The sparrow didn't take Long to choose the infernal Demon Swallow blood.

"So which one of you want this rune. It's evil energy. A pretty strong element."

The tiger just shook its head. The Frost snake looked at it for while then decided it wasn't as useful and said No. The snake tail however nodded saying it wanted it.

The tiger was surprised. Why do you want it? Can't you see it'll he had for you. The responded, no it's good for us, we'll never improve at this rate we should work harder.

"Good decision." Leon then stamped the rune onto the Tail snakes forehead. "The rune will slowly release energy into you. So you won't feel any big changes for a while."

Leon then took the infernal Demon Swallow Blood and used it to create the Blood Orb rune. He then stamped it on on the back of the sparrow where he had stamped the last rune.

Both runes appeared and combined. The first Blood Orb had always been floating around the sparrow. It sunk into the sparrow.

It took a few minutes and the Blood energy wrapped around the sparrow swirling it then started flowing into its back. The sparrow spread out its wings and the Blood energy flowed out and formed In the shape of a Bird.

"An infernal Demon Swallow's Blood energy. Although it doeasmt have the evil element it us purer. The Blood energy bird above the sparrow wrapped up and formed an orb. The orb then split in two.

"The orbs are made of stronger energy, Soon all the energy this level."

The sparrow had the two orbs orbit around it. After getting used to them it turned them into blades and shot them at a tree.

"Not only are they faster they are also much stronger. You'll finally be able to end battle quickly."

"Let's head back shall we."

At mid-night they went back to the city.
