Chapter 13.

Resting for a day in the Spring city we said our goodbye's to Old-Lin and Chen Rong who replied.

"Remember to come back in half a month, it's when we will take you to the Spirit Pagoda Academy in the Barak Province."

Nodding our heads in understanding we proceeded out to ride the carriage which was already arranged by Chen Rong, sitting inside I took my time to look at the drifting sceneries as the carriage moved ahead.

This time, I didn't talk much and not even thought about practice. This was the free time that I enjoyed simply watching the sceneries. Quietly gazing through the sceneries in a trance, I didn't even feel when we reached the village. The village chief patted my shoulders, it was then that I came back to my senses and followed him into the village.

Getting inside I didn't head towards the orphanage but followed Village Chief to his house, as I wanted to brag about my abilities to Grandma, thinking about this the corners of my mouth turned upwards while my pace increased. My pace continued to increase as I quickly rushed ahead of the Village chief and ran straight to his house while I heard the laughing sound of the village chief who was left behind by me, slightly embarrassed I quickly calmed down and knocked on the door.

" Who?" The sound of Grandma came from inside.

" It's me, Chen Feng." Hearing my name Grandma asked me to come in.

Getting Inside I saw Grandma sitting leisurely on the sofa while knitting utensils were placed in front of her, looks like she hasn't started yet cause there wasn't any wool attached to the utensils or anything that says otherwise.

Ignoring these little I quickly on Grandma's lap and told her about my spirit ability, which was not simply me saying the details but practically bragging about how mighty I am by telling her that I myself dealt with a group of wolves that were less than 100 years, and how everyone in Spirit Pagoda who knew my spirit power level got astonished, etc.

Grandma just quietly sat there hearing my words, after I finished she just simply smiled and brushed my hair, placed me on the table next to the sofa, and got up, moved Inside while I watched her silently not understanding what she is doing. After a few minutes, she came back with few things in her hand.

Passing those things to me, I took a look at it to see a white-colored eastern style upper body clothe, which had some dragon and cloud-style embroideries on it and a red-colored stick mark on the front side of its collar. Seeing this I jumped excitedly and thanked Grandma for giving this to me. She just smiled slightly and asked to wear the clothes and show them to her.

I quickly changed my clothes and looked into the mirror.

Only to see a bright child with an ordinary face but sharp eyebrows radiating his fierceness, his cold dark eyes full of indifference with occasional flashes of joy and a slight devilish smirk, coupled with his elegant temperament, it made him look more handsome than others. That smirk is usually not there but because of the joy that Grandma made him some clothes, he couldn't control it.

Seeing this handsome little boy trying hard to control his joy, Grandma couldn't help but laugh lightly letting Feng who was in a trance to get back to himself as he quickly became shy of his antiques and wanted to find a pit to dive down. Not seeing any pits nearby he directly rushed into Grandma, not daring to look at her face, beside's her Village chief stood there not knowing when he came back and he started to laugh loudly.

After a few minutes, I regained my composure while Village-chief brought the dishes from the kitchen we had a simple lunch laughing and enjoying. After this headed back to the orphanage placing the bag on my bed, I moved out since it was only after when we returned and now there is still some time before the sunsets.

So like what I always do at the time, I rushed towards the village border between the thorns on the edge of the village. His figure looked blurry as he slithered in between them. After a couple of minutes, he reached the end of thorns and rushed out. Without any change in his breathing, he looked at himself carefully checking his body. He looked at himself to see no damage to his clothes and body while he felt that his pace is much faster and flexible than before. Understanding this he stood there silently while feeling satisfied as he muttered.

" Looks the I have entered the second stage of Purple-slithering technique which makes me faster and flexible than before at the same time it changes my breathing and the aura of the body while silently using the spirit power to stop the smell of my body to keep others from knowing my position perfectly making me like a predator in the dark just a snake squatting quietly in the grass, tree or anywhere."

" Now the thing I need to do in practice is to increase my speed and flexibility at the same time control my spirit power to a level where there won't even be the slightest fluctuation leaking out."

After understanding this I got onto the next part of my training, I took the stick on the ground and felt it slightly, only to feel that the weight is way to light for me to use properly while the height is perfect and there is no need to increase, but since this Stick won't be able to help me the practice I threw it away and summoned the Flame-Demon Stick. As soon as I summoned I felt the rise in temperature which was greater than before and when I took a closer look there was a golden cloud-like structure appearing in the middle. I took a serious look and didn't find any other change.

So I placed my attention back on to the next part of my practice as I started to wave the Spirit Stick according to the Dragon tail technique whose first part was completed a long time ago by me and I had started to decipher the 2nd part but I couldn't any lead on how to practice it but this time through the real fighting experience in the forest I now have got some clues.

The dragon tail technique doesn't only mean to have flexible and whip-like handling of the stick but also to use the stick in a domineering way like how just a dragon brushing his tail against will cause an earthquake in the surrounding.

After I understood this I started to feel how awesome and Domineering I was when I dealt with those wolves and started to wave the stick according to those feelings but I still couldn't cross to the next stage, meaning there is still something I haven't deciphered. So now I can only train hard and wait for the situation where the quantitative change may lead to a qualitative change.

Next was the last part of today's training which was nothing but to check the time limit on the attribute increase I have once I use my spirit ability.

I took a deep breath calming myself down, let go of any distracting thought, and concentrated wholly on the first spirit ability.

"Fire-slash"

I said loudly as I slashed my stick to the front as a flame energy wave rushed out of the tip of the Stick forming a tip of a solid flame arrow in front of me moving towards my front, it rushed straight to the tree caused a deep burnt mark to appear in the middle of the trunk which nearly causing the tree to fall but since I didn't use much spirit power it didn't fall.

Next, I did intense training under the attribute increase of the spirit ability. After three minutes I didn't feel any drop in my strength meaning that my spirit attribute is better than normal people which I expected, Five minutes later there was still no decrease in my attribute meaning that this increase is better than genius which didn't much of a fluctuation within me, seven minutes later still there was no drop which finally caused surprise within me since it means the attribute is better those super-geniuses have, so I practiced harder and after 8th minute I felt slight stiffness in my muscles, continuing 9th minute I felt a slight stinging pain in my muscles, at 10th minute I couldn't even move since I felt, if I tried to do it I might cause some hidden and irreversible damage to my body so I stopped.
