Ao Si Ka felt extremely tired after absorbing the 647 years old white moon mushroom warrior's spirit ring.
The sun was starting to set off in the distance, and Ao Si Ka was starting to feel anxious on whether he could make it back on time. Ao Si Ka immediately got up from his hiding spot, from withinside a large arrayed of bushes.
'The sun is quickly setting. I need to hurry and get back to the city, where it is safe and sound, and away from the wild spirit beasts.' Ao Si Ka thought to himself, 'Before the nocturnal creatures began to wake up. The forest is extremely dangerous at night, who knows what sort of danger lurks within the darkness of the night.'
Time was of the essence. Ao Si Ka was scurrying through the forest area, breathing rather ruggedly as he quickens his running paste; thousands of trees, shrubs, and bushes passes by him within seconds.
A ten years old horned rabbit immediately spotted him from a distance. It looked at him, with a frightened look, like it saw something out to get it.
The creature then ran off in another direction, away from the vastly approaching Ao Si Ka.
Ao Si Ka's figure scurrying through the forest. The wild spirit beasts below a hundred years old were all avoiding him, like cats and dogs, their keen animalistic instincts are able to somewhat decern his strength.
If a human child under the age of ten was so easily able to defeat a hundred years old spirit beast. What makes them a measly ten year old spirit beast able to defeat that human spirit master that could easily kill a hundred years old spirit beast, it's what they most likely thought or interpreted.

In no time did it take Ao Si Ka to arrive at the front gate and the entrance to the city. There were already a long queue and line of people awaiting to get inside the city.
He thought to himself, 'I've made it on time.'
They were passing by the inspection line, and the city guards were busy inspecting the goods and products sold by travelling merchants.
Ao Si Ka then joins the line of people, but he was constantly running the whole time to get here. So he was extremely tired.
The large amounts of plant spores that infected his lungs and whole body didn't help, but make his breathing problem even harder. Ao Si Ka was breathing heavily, panting continously, as he forces mouthful of air into his lungs.
Beads of sweat dribbling down the side of his face, his tired eyes barely opening, as his body stumbling over wheb he walks. Barely standing by himself, he supported his own weight by holding onto the wall. Ao Si Ka is on the near brink of exhaustion, he could literally pass out at any minute.
When he literally gone half way through the city gate, his legs literally gave out and he tumbles over, falling onto his front side.
'Not now. I literally can't end like this.' Words that keeps entering through Ao Si Ka's mind.
His passed out body literally blocking road, obscuring the path through the city gate.
There were many onlookers staring in his particular direction, but they don't even dare to touch his body. Afraid of catching either germs or unknown diseases from the dirty beggar child.
"Why is the line suddenly stopped moving." The sound of an angry man, who is displeased from the sudden disruption within the traffic.
He shouted angrily from withinside his drawned horse carriage.
Click! Putchu!
The door handle clicked. Someone is opening the door from withinside the horse drawned carriage.
The floor of the horse drawned carriage creaks, as a large rotund middle aged man then exits the horsed drawn carriage.
"Out of the way, commoners. I'm busy here. So move along." The large fat man looked extremely annoyed, as he then surveys through the group of gathering people.
He was dressed in fancy clothing; expensive silver and gold ornaments addorned his attire. It strongly displayed his social status and wealth, showcasing that he is either a noble or a rich business man.
The fat man looked down upon others, as he spotted a crowd of people gathering around Ao Si Ka's passed out body. "Now what do we have here." He said it strongly with an attitude of cockyness, "It seems there is a little rodent blocking the road."
Walking leisurably, the fat man approaches the passed out Ao Si Ka on the ground.
He was still barely concious, aware of his surroundings, but his vision has completely blacked out. Seeing static, flashes of weird colours then assaulted his field of vision.
"Get up!" The fat man commanded, but upon hearing no response from him. He was greatly infuriated. "I said get the fuck up, kid!" Out of anger, he proceeded to kick the passed out Ao Si Ka on the ground.
Ao Si Ka's injured body was send flying in the air, the air knocked out from him.
For a brief moment, his vision suddenly returns back to him, whilst he was stilling dangling in mid air. Ao Si Ka then saw the face and appearance of the perpetrator who kicked him, before suddenly losing consciousness.
His childlike body hit the wall hardly, and he was immediately knocked out. Not before seeing the face of the perpetrator who kicked him.
"Get this dirty child out from my sight." The fat man shouted furiously, for wasting his time.
"Sir! I'm goanna have to detain you for a case of public disruption." One of the city gate guards decided to speak up, as he tries to arrest the fat man.
However, the fat man immediately retaliated. "Don't you dare touch me! Do you not know who I am?" The fat man angrily shouted as he shrugged the arms off of the city guards that tried to arrest.
"I am only trying to do my job." The city guard insisted, as the fat man then put up some resistance.
The fat man loudly proclaimed his status, "I am the second son of the Shen family household. Shen Fei Zhu. Also the head of the Shen Jin Jewellery conglomerate." He showed an arrogant look, as he then releases his spirit essence.
The spirit pressure of a peak level spirit elder then erupts from his body, pushing the ordinary normal city gate guards aside.
The fat man's body then transforms, having grown slightly larger. His two plumpy fat arms then became extremely muscular, reddish brown hair then covers all around his body, as two large white tusk then protrudes out from his mouth.
His spirit essence is the, "Flaming Red Wild Boar." The fat man cried out.
"Spiritmaster!" The aura of a spirit master completely shocked the ordinary normal city gate guards, as they all cried out in fright, afraid to further anger a powerful spirit master.
No matter the circumstances, whether it is through conflict or the opposition of opinions. An normal person should not get involved with the matters involving a spirit master, unless they want to get themselves killed.
The two city gate guards that was just about to apprehend him, once they found out that the perpetrator was a spirit master. They both immediately back off, clasping both hands together. They both apologies to the fat man.
"We're sorry to have anger you, honored spirit master! Please accept our apology and be on your way!" City gate guards both bow their down, with no other choice, but to let the fat man go scot free.
"Humph." Shen Fei Zhu decided to let the two city guards off, as they were both just doing their jobs.
Shen Fei Zhu then sighs. Looking at the injured Ao Si Ka one more time, scuffing at him, feeling no ounce of pity. Then he returns back to his drawned horse carriage and left the scene of the crime, with almost no obstruction.
"So what do we do now?" One of the city guards, asking the other city guard.
The other one immediately responded, "We filed a report to the city lord, and the Spirit Hall will handle the rest. Any matters relating to spirit masters are handled by either the authorities; trained individuals that handles the matter of the city or the branch of Spirit Hall."
The city guard said, "Whilst, we ordinary guards are in charge of looking after normal everyday issues."
The city guard who asked the question, looked down, with a sad expression. "Is that so..." was the city guard's only response.
The other city guard then sighs. He then say a motivation speech in order to lift the other depressed city guard's spirit. "There are some things us ordinary people can't hoped to cross, but look on the bright side. We're still alive and kicking right. So we luckily managed to avoid a disaster that could endangered the both of our lives."
"Yeah..." The depressed city guard responded, no longer feeling sad for him. "So what are we going to do now with the kids?" The city guard asked the other city guard.
"Huh?" The city guard responded with a confused look, as he has almost forgotten about the knockout Ao Si Ka.
