The half-understanding

Li Tian wanted to take that night to cultivate and understand his martial spirit.

He focused and entered his spiritual sea. Sea itself was bigger than last time he had entered.

( You! This is big. I can't see the end.)

" That's because you have added another servant, master. " was a deep voice of an old man heard.

" Who are you? Show yourself! I'm ordering you!" said Li Tian ready to fight in his spiritual sea control.

It was said that some demons who had died years ago would attempt usurpation the bodies of greater martial masters by taking control over their spiritual sea. And something like this was expecting Li Tian. But he was wrong.

"There is no need to be worried, master. This old man is your servant, also by you known as martial spirit. I'm the first of the star brothers." said an old man dressed in green clothes. The same man had a green star up to his head.

" Oh, so this is our master?" said another man dressed in white and who had a white star in his head.

"What the hell is going on here? Someone care to explain?"

" In your orders master. We, that consist of some stars are your martial spirit. So decided "the one". We are a bit different from other martial spirits. For every time I'm full of beast cores I will upgrade my grade and another brother will come to inhabit this place. And you can name anyone of us, with a name that can explain our job. I named myself "qi gathering star" because the master didn't give me a name. You feed me with beast cores and I upgraded myself to the green aura. So my job is more effective now. But it will not be as easy as you think. Now my brother needs a job to do and you will give him a job but to upgrade him you first need to upgrade me again. so you need beast cores. But now that I'm green aura rank, you will need more beast cores. And only after upgrading me, you can upgrade my brother. And when my brother upgrade you will get another star and so the process will repeat. And only after you win another star you will pass through tribulation to increase your grade as a martial artist. Right now, you are earth realm."

" Ahhhh?! Earth realm?! I was just..."

" Master needs to understand that you don't have a normal martial spirit."

" Ok. So let's talk about what I need more right now so I can name your brother."

" Master if I can suggest you then, with how situations have been going, I would suggest you give my brother the right to be the martial techniques star. He then would create martial techniques and give them to your friends and the martial academy disciples you swore to create."

" You Goddamn right! You thought it very well. I'm happy to have someone so knowledgeable like you to talk things out!"

" You praise a lot master."

" Then I give you the right to be the martial techniques star. Can you create martial techniques for me and my friends to be at least seven-grade or higher?"

" Master, you make things a bit hard for me! I sure can create then but with my grade, it would take you a week or so to recover from the energy loss."

" Oh! Then you can create two, grade fifth martial techniques and four four-grade martial techniques. I will sell them in the auction, buy with them some high-grade beast cores and then upgrade you to the next grade so you can create them."

" I can surely do that but.....Hey big brother, Would you lend me some star energy?"

" I will destroy you, idiot. Every time you ask for the energy I feel the desire to kill you!" said the old man angry and showing off his green aura.

" Ouuu, ouuuu! Let's not misunderstand things. This is the request of the master." said the other one standing behind Li Tian, scared from his bog brother.

" Calm down! We need to process with caution."

With the energy lent by the first star the creation process of martial techniques started and it ended just before the sunrise. Little Shadow and Dragonhead were still cultivating. They found their way toward the world and they wouldn't miss this chance. Li Tian felt a feeling of hope. He knew that those two would be the most loyal friend he could ever have.

" Get up you idiots. It's time to shine."

Both of them felt the optimism in his words and got up.

The three of them stood up that hill in from of the city, with the sunrise on their back. Those big shadows of monsters.
