Kakashi meditated for the whole night and could complete only 5 cycles before sunrise.
It was very difficult to practice the technique. At first, he could not move the soul energy at the right place and meridian. Sometimes, he would forget the pathway and all.
Moreover, practice the cultivation technique needs a massive amount of energy. He needed to cook food twice yesterday night, even old man Jack's sleep was distrubted for it.
Most importantly, the cultivation technique seems to be over the top. At least he can say he has the strongest cultvation technique in this world.
As soon as the morning ray lit up the sky. Kakashi ran out and started to train. He ran around the village perimeter twice and did push-ups and all. He even found a tree branch to do pull-ups.
After that, Kakashi practiced shooting.
But to his dismay, he is not getting any progress on that side.
[ Ding!..... It seems the host is not a proficient shooter.]
[ Host is requested to open the practice tab on the system and follow it.]
Kakashi held his hand in his forehead.
'Damn, after receiving the novice package, he forgot to ask about systems other functions. Good thing the system reminded him or else who knows when he will find them himself.
System state all functions and explain.
[ Ding!..... System has 4 tabs and a window, namely status, quest, shop, gun training manuals, and suggestion window]
[ Status tab is self-explanatory]
[ Quest tab provides hosy with quests to complete them. Failure does not lead to any punishments, but success yields rewards.( Active no. of quest = 1)]
[ Through the shop tab, the host can buy various things from day to day times to fighting techniques to soul bones.]
[ The Traning manual tab contains basic instructions to be a sharp shooter. If the martial soul transforms into different kinds of guns, those manuals will be added accordingly.]
[ The suggestion window helps in soul beast selection.]
"Good guy, this system is simple but has all the essential things only."
But firstly of all he needs to know what kind of quest is active in his system.
[System Quest]
[The beginning of a legend]
[Become a Soul master and obtain an over the limit century ring.]
[Reward - Soul ring age will be increased by 300 years].
Kakashi was quite happy with the quest. It was simple on his way, and moreover, this kind of quest can be given again when he needs a spirit ring again.
Kakashi then opened the gun training manual tab and started to read through a text with diagrams and watched a video afterward.
He looked through the video and then tried to mimic the shooting position one point by one.
Firstly, he summoned his gun and held it tightly with two hands, trying to shoot with one hand is above his pay grade now. After that, he completely extended his hands, and step by step, he got into a firing position.
Kakashi then used his dominant eye to target a tree branch and shot it.
The shot hit the target, unlike the previous times. This time, the recoil of the gun did not change the direction of the bullet and hit the target.
Kakashi then shot another shot, but this time, he missed the target.
Kakashi was not disappointed about it much and restarted his practice by lunchtime. He could hit a target every 8 shots. A good improvement for a day of practice.
After lunch, he ran to the other side of the village to Tang San's house.
Like every day, Tang Hao was simply drunk, and Tang San was taking care of him.
" Huh brother Kakashi, what are you doing here? Father is sleeping, you can tell me what you want to make I will them him when he wakes up." Tang San said as Kakashi reached the door of his house.
"Ah, Tang San, how are you ? Thank Uncle hao for me for the service he provides to the village." Kakashi saw Tang San washing the dishes and praised Tang Hao.
He has not decided to which side he will stand for. Their is no need to sour a good relationship now, even if he takes the spirit hall's side afterward. Moreover, the lip service is free of cost, and he has nothing to lose. So why not?
Tang San smiled as his father was praised.
"So, what can I help you with, brother?" Tang San asked.
He knew Kakashi, like Tang San, did not talk with the other villagers much and went to others either to help them or if he needed something.
" Ah, Tang San, can you please tell Uncle Hao to make some weights for me in his spare time. Here are 1 gold coin for the task. If you need more, you can just ask. I will not be miser and refuse what you should have."
"No, no, brother, kakashi, a silver coin is enough. You can take back the rest." Tang San, though will be shameless in the future, he now still has some shame left in him.
" Nah, Brother San, you can have the gold coin, and next year, you will awaken your martial spirit. I have a feeling you will have some innate soul power, and then you can use the coin to buy some things for you. If you want, you can also do a favor for me later on." Kakashi did not take back the change. A little gold coin for Tang San's favor is a big deal in the later stages if he followed through that is.
"Well then, now that my work is done, I will not impose on you any longer.
If nothing else, we would be going to the academy together next year."
Tang San did not say much but smiled.
In his two lifetimes, Kakashi was the first person who thought he could achieve something in his life. Even his father did not have this much confidence in him.
Tang San vowed as long as he could he would help Kakashi.
Kakashi then went home and cooked some food and started to practice cultivation for the night.
Even though, here in this village their is no nightlife, Kakashi still can not sleep due to his student days. Previously, he could do nothing except think about the past and plan the future. But now, he can use that time to cook and cultivate. Even though their will not be any results now, once he gets his first ring, his spirit power will overflow cross levels then. Now of it or their should be little loss of soul power.
