Chapter 3

It's been a few hours since the spar now I'm getting ready since I'm on my way right now with etsuko to hunt my first spirit ring after a while we enter the luxurious golden red

carriage as we begin to head towards star dou forest after driving for a few hours we arrived me and etsuko get off I wrap my bow

around my back along a few arrows we begin walking towards the inner of the forest we walk a few beasts but they were harmless so

we just ignored them of course their was always those who tried to attack us but all

etsuko had to do was release her title douluo aura which would scare off the beasts immediately it's been a few hours since we

arrived but I haven't found a single interesting beast that would make a useful spirit ring that is until I closed my eyes and reopened them but instead of my usual golden eyes they

were a light grey color I began looking around us with my shadow eyes and at first I didn't spot anything that is until I spot something a

hundred miles away from us hidden within the shadow of a enormous tree as I begin to focus my gaze on what was hidden in the trees shadow it must have felt my gaze

because it suddenly disappeared from my sight within a split second I was terrified at the speed of that shadow not even my

shadow eyes were able to keep up even etsuko who was a title douluo couldn't spot the shadow until suddenly as I was gazing at

our surroundings I spotted it once again but this time it was much closer to us which schoked me once again I turn my head and

look up etsuko and tell her "Hey etsuko I want the shadow whatever it is to be my first spirit ring" she turn towards me and stays silent for

a few second while switching her gaze from me and the shadow "Okay young master wait

for me here while I kill it" she says while jumping off into the distance towards the shadow dont get me wrong I would have

fought if I had the chance but I dont know what kind of beast that shadow is it could be thousand year old beast for all I know anyway back to the fight etsuko reached the shadow and both of them began clashing thanks to

her I was able to see the shadows form it was an enormous wolf at least the size of six foot human its fur was raven black with golden eyes it was a shadow wolf now I

understood why my shadow eyes couldn't track its movements it was because it was not moving at all the shadow wolf's were know for their teleportation they were able to

teleport anywhere as long it was within their eyes reach after watching them both clash for a few blows the shadow would suddenly

disappeared and it appeared right behind etsuko getting ready to slash her neck with its claw seeing this I insiticlty reached for my bow I grabbed a arrow I coated it with a layer

of energy aimed and released it within a split second the arrow coated in a layer of blue energy flew across the sky like a shooting star heading towards the wolf etsuko looking up

seeing the arrow approaching her she ducks

down since it was coming straight towards her neck the wolf seing the women duck thought she was afraid of death not realising

the arrow coming straight at him when he looks up and sees a blue light coming straight towards him only fear anger and despair

could be seen in his eyes as the arrow pierced him yao now heading towards the dead wolf sees a yellow ring hovering above it's dead body he walks towards it and sits down in a lotus position while looking at

etsuko "Guard me while I absord the spirit ring" "Do not worry young master you focus and absord the ring I will keep cover" she says while pulling out her sword seeing this yao

just nods while he begins absorbing the shadow wolf's spirit ring onto his darkness dragon god spirit on his left hand although he could have a gotten a much stronger and

powerful spirit ring than the shadow wolf's but to yao the shadow wolf was priceless since its main skill was teleportation it was most likely yao would gain this skill after absorbing its ring and with teleportation he

didn't have to fear those stronger than him since he could just teleport away if he every encountered any actual danger and just as he

had thought he was right yao begins to wake

up after a few hours he opens his eyes and sees etsuko staring at him with a sweet smile while she asked "Young master may i know

which skill you gained from the wolf's ring" yao just looks at her while giving her a smirk as a yellow ring surrounds his body while he

dissapeares from her sight and reappears a few hundred feet away on a top of a tree "teleportation"he says while reappearing back

where he was etsuko gave a shocked reaction but only lasted a few seconds before regaining her composure but on the other hand yao was slightly disappointed although

he had made his skill look powerful just now but he could feel the limits of his teleportation the first was that he could only teleport as far

as he eyes could see the other was he was only allowed to teleport into the shadows meaning if he was out in the open without any shadows in sight his skill was useless but

suddenly he was snapped back into reality by etsukos question " Young master since our business is done we should start heading

back before the sun descends we don't want be here at night" she says I just nod since their was still something I had to before the day ended and probably the dumbest descion

I've made in both my lives soon we reach the carriage after walking for a while and begin heading back home.

After arriving at back at home I run straight towards my room and begin preparing a few things since I was planning on heading back towards star dou forest in a few hours when everybody was sound asleep the reason for

this was because of my flame essences I just realised something the day before which was that I had no control over my essence flames I was not even able to use five percent of their

true power no matter what I tried the results stayed the same the only thing left to do was to swallow the flames just like xiao yan did but my body can't help but shake at the

thought xiao yan in the anime wwas barely able to survive even with yao laos help let alone me I naturally would had created a few

pills that would help in swallowing the flame and with yao laos alchemist experience it was quite easy but since my flames refuse to yield to me I can't make them so I just gotta tank it

like a boss but who knew I would come to regret this decision greatly in a few hours after finishing preparing I waited till I knew

everyone had gone to sleep I opened up my window and jumped of landing on a nearby tree avoiding the guards and I began taking

off in the direction of the star dou forest but what i didn't know a pair of majestic purple eyes were staring right at me from the roof top as I jumped off it was of course etsuko....
