"Uncle, what is innate full spirit power?"
The youth dully looked at me, and subconsciously explained.
"For everyone at the time of spirit awakening, apart from a spirit's form, while deciding whether it is big and powerful, the amount of spirit power is also extremely important. Vast amount of people at the time of spirit awakening do not have spirit power, like the several children before this. They are destined to be unable to become spirit masters in their lifetime. But provided spirit power appears, even if only a little, anyone can undergo meditation cultivation. And at the time of spirit awakening the spirit power amount is crucial for setting spirit master cultivation starting level. With higher spirit power level, acquired cultivation rate is greater. Moreover, because of starting level, the fundamentals will naturally also be practiced earlier than others. What is known as innate full spirit power is that at the time of spirit awakening, one is innately capable of attaining the highest spirit power."
"Highest spirit power?" I asked him
Perhaps it was because my innate full spirit power caused no small shock to the youth but he did not mind taking the trouble to explain.
"Our spirit is graded like this: every ten ranks is a title. After spirit awakening, one can automatically be known as spirit scholar. Of course, only a first level spirit scholar. In accordance with spirit strength intensity it is subdivided into ranks. What is meant by innate full spirit strength is that exactly after awakening, spirit strength level is innately the highest tenth rank. I still have never come across a person with innate full spirit strength; originally when I awakened, I also was only second rank spirit power, nothing more."
What that means is basically everyone starts at a different level kind of like a Pokémon in the wild some are level 3 and some are level 5 but mine means I jumped right up to level 10 as soon as I awakened. basically I get boosted stats while other have to work harder.
I nodded at the man's explanation. basically I could just walk my happy ass outside and grab a spirit ring if I wanted. with all my questions answered I turned around and wandered out of the hall paying no more attention to the man.
I headed back to the hut and waiting there was the anxious looking tang hao.
"So how was it?" he asked nervously.
"innate full power and I got both the spirits." I pull out the clear sky hammer and the little blue grass.
he sighed in relief."So what's the plan now?" he asked me.
"Go to school and get a spirit teacher also study up on some of the plants and animals of this world. I'm sure you've heard of grandmaster? he's a genius of theory and study he teachers at the school the next town over and I plan to make him my teacher." I reply pulling out stuff for sandwhiches from the fridge.
"I have indeed heard about him due to a mutation in his spirit he was stuck at rank 30 and kicked out of the lightning tyrant dragon clan." he ponders for abit.
There was a knock on the door and an excited elder jack came in. He was babbling about finally having a spirit master even if it was blue silver grass and offered me a document that let's me go to school in the next city as there were no other kids able to this year and they had a quota of 1.
I happily accepted it thanking the old man and ignoring tang haos stunned gaze at how it all worked out so perfectly.
"Thank you old jack I'll be happy to go to school and learn about spirit master things who knows one day I might just be a sage myself." I laugh to the elderly man who laughs back happy he could help. "Don't worry I'll be happy to give you a ride into town on my cart I have some stuff I need to sell anyway." he smiles happily before heading out the door.
I had already had all my stuff packed up and stored away in my trunk including my clothes and gear. My new workroom in the trunk had been upgraded with all my tools and items I used to tinker. I had enough money to do whatever I wanted.
I had given Tang Hao a trunk as well as he would be moving around the continent gathering up allies and materials for me to study and frequently dropping them off. I was very curious about spirit bones and wanted him to collect a few for me.
He had taught me the Tang family splitting sky hammer move which I was making improvements upon and my blacksmithing skills had increased by leaps and bounds.
I took out the clear sky hammer to get a better look at it. one thing I noticed about the tiny black hammer was it was deceptively heavy and caused a heavy drain on spiritual power. not enough to effect me much but much more than the blue silver grass.
I set up some wards around the house so people couldn't come in and steal stuff or wreck the place.
The next morning old jack came by after breakfast to pick me up to head into town. Tang hao waved us off happily thinking about all the chaos I was going to cause and had to choke down some more chuckles.
I was getting the run down on what would happen at the Academy. since I was a free student I didn't need to pay for classes however I'd have to pay for all my own meals, clothes and bedding as those don't come freely.
This was fine as its better than paying the insane amount of money for tuition and I had everything already set up anyway.
of course I'll get my monies worth though I mean who can pass up free books in the library ahaha.
I'd have the elves magically copy them to save me time. other than that the other place I'm excited to see is the arena. I'm going to gamble my ass off and win some funds.
