Chapter 8

How did Ju Ran reach Rank 10 in just 2 years after arousing his martial spirit with his low innate talent?

It is true that Ju Ran never relaxed on the way to cultivation and whenever he had time he cultivated his Spirit Power. But only effort is not enough to overcome talent. With the technique that Qian Renxue gave him he should be able to reach Rank 10 at 10 years old, and that was too long for him to waste, if he took too long he could not achieve his goals.

So after a long contemplation to try to think of something to accelerate your Ju Ran cultivation remembered something very important.

Before awakening your martial spirit Tang San was not cultivating a technique that cultivated the internal IQ of the Tang sect?

Remember this information Ju Ran began to have some ideas in remembering some concepts of fantasy stories that he read in his first life.

He planned to create his own scratch cultivation technique based on some ideas he has read in some stories. But of course he couldn't do something so risky without help or guidance.

"Sister Angel ... No, Goddess Angel Qian Renxue, we need to talk."

Ju Ran spoke the goddess's real name that he is within his mind.

* Sigh* "It took only two weeks for you to take the initiative to have an honest conversation, I was already wondering if I should or should not take the initiative to start this conversation."

Qian Renxue appeared with a confident smile in front of Ju Ran while she crossed her arms.

"Now about what do you want to talk about? Victim of 10,000 years of the future."

Since Ju Ran decided to stop the theatrical, she did the same.

And it was at this moment that two partnership started.

A partnership that would change fate not only from this world ...

A partnership with the purpose of destroying the root of all the evil that has damaged the Duloo Continent for tens of thousands of years.

A partnership to kill Tang San.

***********

Now in the present.

"So is this a forest of spirit beasts?"

Ju Ran can't help murmur a little impressed with the place.

At this point he and Bei Li are inside a forest of spiritual beasts controlled by the spirit hall that is a few hundred kilometers from the Nuoding Academy. When they showed the pass they received from the branch of the Spirit Hall of Nuoding City to the Guards of the Spiritual Hall they were allowed to enter.

Before entering the forest, there was an inspection point where Ju Ran showed him the pass of the spiritual hall. Outside of this inspection point, there was something like a mini village. Full of tents with corpses of spirit beasts hanging from hooks to be sold as food. Some tents also sold equipment and items that would be useful for those who would hunt spirit beasts. There were also spiritual masters who were inviting other spirit masters to their hunting teams, of course for a good amount of gold coins.

Hunting spirit beasts is very dangerous, so the more people in the team, the better. Although a makeshift team is not very reliable, it is also better than hunting alone.

When hunting spirit beasts, it is better accompanied by trusted people. Otherwise, it is a certainty that you can die from the bad teamwork or perhaps be stabbed in the back by other spiritual masters.

When they entered the outside of this Ju Ran forest, it was amazing.

Huge trees, trees that easily reached twenty meters tall entered the field of vision of Ju Ran. There were also several family and strange animals for Ju Ran. For example there was a deer eating a blue silver grass, so far all normal.

But this deer had the blue and his horns were shining with a weak green light. This deer began to flee away the moment he saw Ju Ran and the librarian.

"Ju ran, do you have any preference for spirit beast you want for your spiritual ring?" Bei Li asked. Nuoding Academy is just a small academy of primary spirit masters, the amount of information about spirit beasts they have is not very large or precise but it is still a relatively reliable basic knowledge that former teachers of Nuoding Academy wrote based on their own experiments.

"Unfortunately not, because I have no idea which attribute or system my martial spirit should follow." Ju Ran said.

Ju ran once asked Qian Renxue so he could use his divine conscience to examine his martial spirit, which was a black cube. Surprisingly, she didn't get an answer. She said that somehow, her divine consciousness couldn't see through this cube.

And that made Ju Ran shocked. Even though Qian Renxue was very weakened by the current situation she was still a goddess, seeing through a martial spirit should not be difficult for her.

This made Ju Ran some doubts about his martial spirit, although unfortunately he could not find anything relevant about his own martial spirit.

Usually when someone arouses a martial spirit this person already gains instinctive knowledge about his martial spirit. It's something like breathing, you breathe but don't remember the moment when you started breathing for the first time. This is what Qian Renxue explained, when she aroused her martial spirit seraphim for the first time she felt that she could already fly with a little practice with her wings. She also knew instinctively that her martial spirit had affinity for light, sacred and fire.

But Ju Ran knew nothing about his martial spirit, in these two years his black cube remained the same as he had his spirit awakened. Ju Ran's body had no apparent change because of the awakening of his spirit.

Since Ju Ran started studying at Nuoding Academy he has come across several veterans with body impossible to see in his original world. Although there were few cases yet he has seen boys of 10 age had a physical body very similar to Jotaro Kujo de Jojo.

For a moment Ju Ran thought he was in the Jojo universe.

During these two years Ju Ran did not notice any abnormal growth in her body, so far it has been like a normal child on earth.

But there was a detail that made him intrigued. During these two years Ju Ran read a lot of books in the Nuoding Academy Library, and even now he remembers the content of each of these books very well, and that is something left intrigued, because in his first and second life Ju Ran had no memory that good. Even memories of his first life are much clearer since he woke up his martial spirit.

Does this mean that this is related to the martial spirit of the black cube? After all martial spirits can influence people. So would a spiritual ring with mental attribute be the most appropriate?

Unfortunately getting a spirit ring from a spirit beast with mental attributes will be impossible today for certain reasons, such as ...

Spirit beasts with mental attributes are very rare, Ju Ran is not optimistic of being able to find one of this kind in this little forest.

The Academy Library had no information on mental spiritual beasts.

And finally, the librarian's strength is only that of a Spirit Grand Master, so he can hardly help deal with a spiritual beast that has already surpassed the 100 years of cultivation; after all, he is alone. If suddenly the two were ambushed by a pack of 100-year-old wolves because they entered the forest very deep, they could hardly survive.

"I understand, in this case let me know if you find any beast you want." Bei Li spoke with understanding.

The two then walked for an hour through the forest edge. During this time Ju Ran saw some spiritual beasts, such as a red monkey, a blue snake, a dark green bird, all were 10 -year -old spiritual beasts. But so far none of them aroused Ju Ran's interest.

But soon a surprise appeared to him.

A feline beast appeared, this feline had a plain black hair with purple lightning patterns by the body. This feline was drinking the water from a stream.

"A purple spark cat?! By the size I think he didn't reach 100 years but he doesn't look far from it either, what do you think Ju Ran? Do you want that cat?" Bei Li li asked in an excited tone.

The purple spark cat is a spirit beast that is documented in the Nuoding Academy Library. It can be considered a common spirit beast that appears in some forests of spiritual beasts. It has lightning attribute and can use its lightning attribute to cover your entire body and thus increase your speed. It is a good spirit ring for those who have a martial spirit with lightning attributes or want to follow the path of a spiritual master of agility.

'That cat has an 82 -year -old cultivation. Will you want to go after him? '

Ju Ran heard Qian Renxue's voice in his mind.

"Teacher Bei Li, I'll be counting on you." Ju Ran said.

Ju Ran hid behind a bush while Bei Li went around to get close to the Cat Purple Spark without being noticed. When he was 10 meters away from the cat, Bei Li activated his martial spirit. His body swallowed and became muscular, and his skin, which was a little clear, became gray. A horn grew on his forehead. Before, it was 1.70 meters high, but now it is 2 meters and a half tall.

Bei Li Li's martial spirit is a gray robbery rhino and two spiritual rings, one white and one yellow appeared around him.

"First spirit ability !! 100 steps onslaught !!"

Bei Li activated her first spirit ring and began a fast drag toward the Cat Spark purple. The cat was caught by surprise and could not even react when Bei Li ran over and threw it.

The cat was thrown close to the bush where Ju Ran was hiding.

The cat's mouth was full of blood, and he tried to get up with his shaking paws, only to fall to the floor again. The cat looked resentful and growled low. Before the Cat Spark Purple could try to activate his ability to cover himself with electricity, Ju Ran stabbed the cat's skull with a sharp dagger that Bei Li gave him.

The cat's body fell soft to the floor and then bright light particles began to leave the corpse, so a white spirit ring was formed and was spinning above the cat.

"Ju Ran I will keep an eye on the surroundings while you absorb the spirit ring. Remember that no matter what happens you should not lose consciousness during the absorption of the spirit ring." Bei Li spoke with the seriousness of a teacher.

"Yes."

Ju Ran sat in the Lotus position and closed his eyes as he began to absorb the spiritual ring.

'Do you need help?'

Qian Renxue asked inside his head.

'It is not necessary. After all the training and preparation I did, a mere white spirit ring nothing before my eyes. '

Ju Ran responded to Qian Renxue in a slightly confident tone. However, he was also a little nervous because this was the first time he had absorbed a spirit ring.

When the spirit ring began to be absorbed the Ju Ran felt as if hot water was entering his body, it was a slightly uncomfortable but not unbearable feeling. He diligently absorbed the spirit ring and after 10 minutes Ju Ran ended the process of absorbing the spirit ring.

Ju Ran's spirit power has increased and he was able to break a level, now he is a spirit master of Rank 11.

'Hey, how do you feel now that you have a spirit ring?'

Ju Ran heard Qian's voice Renxue inside his head and the next moment he felt his conscience be pulled somewhere inside him. He could not resist because he wanted to see where that would give.

The next moment, Ju Ran found himself in a small bright blue lake. It was a very large lake, probably 5 kilometers in size. The area beyond the lake was just darkness with nothing.

"What did you think of your spiritual sea? It's an interesting view, isn't it?"

At the moment Ju Ran was admiring the Qian Renxue landscape appeared right beside him with his arms crossed and a slightly impressed look at the small lake in front of her.

"Was this work your Qian Renxue?" Ju Ran asked the goddess that she is next to him. Although he has heard a little about the concept of spiritual sea before he did not ask much about this because he was too busy with several parallel projects in progress.

"No, I was also surprised by all this. Before this place was only a few drops and a little bright blue gas but when you absorbed the spiritual ring everything suddenly changed, your mental power grew a lot in an instant until it became it." Qian Renxue spoke with a little disbelief.

"It's really? So you can tell me at what level my mental power is?" Ju Ran asked curiously.

"I am not very specialized in this area, but in my opinion I believe that its mental power is comparable to that of a spirit king (5 spirit rings) of Rank 51." Qian Renxue spoke with his arms crossed.

"Are you serious?" Ju Ran was shocked to hear this. Knowing that his mental power was comparable to that of a spiy king was unimaginable to him.

"So you mean all those pains and risks were worth it, right? Well, where I come from there is a saying, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Ju Ran cannot fail to murmur with his arms crossed.

"Your idiot! Do not dare to use as this argument to do such suicidal things. You have the idea how many times you could have died if I had not used my divine conscience to guide you in creating that cultivation technique?

"And there was also my precarious situation here. Because of the constant use of my divine consciousness my strength was slowly reaching the point that I risk disappearing if I couldn't get a decent source of spirit and mental power."

"Could you stop thinking about such risky choices?!"

Qian Renxue complained with annoyance and a little resentment. Only she knew how scary it was to have her existence weaken slowly and risk disappearing.

"I'm sorry if it bothered you so much." Ju Ran apologized with his inexpressive face.

"Yeah, that was very uncomfortable! You promise this won't be repeated?!" Qian Renxue asked crossing his arms and pouting.

"Changing the subject, how is your situation? Is this spiritual sea enough for you to support your existence for now?" Ju Ran did not disguise the fact that he tries to change the subject to avoid this promise.

'This little bastard! One time or another you will regret force me to do slave labor here! '

Qian Renxue naturally won't forget about Ju Ran's attitude and she will think of a way to repay all the humiliation and heavy work that this accomplice has put in it.

"Yes, with your spiritual sea at this level I won't have a problem keeping my existence stable, perhaps I can even use my divine conscience a little without the risk of disappearing." Qian Renxue spoke with a relieved and expectation smile.

"Excellent." Ju Ran found this great news, as it meant that he could later ask for Qian Renxue's divine conscience more often.

"By the way, and about your martial spirit? Did you find something after absorbing the spiritual ring? What is your first spirit ability?" Qian Renxue asked curiously. She did not use her divine consciousness to avoid receiving spoilers. She doesn't care how weak and useless Ju Ran's first spiritual ability will allow him to display a little.

After all everyone is enthusiastic about their first spiritual ring.

Ju Ran had forgotten this because of his spiritual sea. When he focused on his martial spirit his eyes widened by surprise and disbelief.

For now, Ju Ran has been able to receive some information about his martial spirit, which has a spiritual ring. And the name of your martial spirit is ...

"This must be the time for me to introduce myself, I suppose."

An inorganic and emotionless voice was captured by Ju Ran and Qian Renxue.

The two turned to see who was inside the spiritual sea of Ju Ran. The two were surprised by the presence of a third person here.

There was a girl floating not far from them. She had gray hair tied in twin drills. She had several doll joints through her body.

(The image is here.)

She calmly watched them with her red eyes.
