Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword

<1 year and 9 months later>

<3rd POV>

The Dawn Forest was a forest situated at 500 km of the Heaven Dou City near the border. It was a forest no more than 100 square km form basically with Steel Blue Trees and the most common plant Blue Silver Grass. It was marked as a low dangerous area and due to its low resources it was uncontrolled by any clan, also the absence of more than 300 years spirit beast, populated with low grade 10 years beast or plants only existing 10 doc.u.mented beast of more than 100 years. Basically it was a little forest where low grade spirit trainees without any backing and strength try to obtain easily his first spirit ring, being of poor quality but with a safety impossible to find in bigger and more famous forest like the Star Luo Forest.

There in an open space near the centermost part of the forest surrounded with a lot of foliage and leafy hindering the view of outside of it, it can be seen hooded person that due to height he won't be over 9 years old. In this moment 3 beast came from different points of the forest a 150 years old Land Bull {a brown bull like spirit with more than 4 m long and 2 m tall, known for its powerful tackle}, a 230 years old Grass Eater Snake {a silver-blue snake of 6 m long, known for its agility and poisonous enough to paralyze same age beast} and finally a 300 years old Steel Monkey {a 4m gray monkey with a skin like armor, known for its big defense}. Although in other places this will be weak beast running and hiding to be alive in this forest they are considered behemoths. Observing close enough you can see that the hooded person has its eyes closed. In this instant the hooded person open slowly it eyes observing his surrounding and grinning with contempt easily saw in his full of pride eyes he stands his right arm and moving his hand signing to the beast to come. The 3 beast seeing his demenour became angry as the oldest spirit there they are treated as kings so are unfamiliar with being treated with so much impudence and they quickly charge toward the hooded person creating a air shock with their big bodies creating a strange image of a little figure that is gonna be smashed by powerful big beast. Due to the air generated the hood opens showing the a young face with white hair that even even though the best way to describe it it will be cute, it can certainly appreciated that growing it will be a handsome man. The white haired boy changes its posture lifting his arm having his hands positioned like grabbing something materializing a red sword between his hand with a shining yellow ring around it being the sword pointed to the ground. Then I white light surge out of the sword and the boy pierce down nailing the sword to the ground says "Intent: Scattering Protection!" a white aura scatters at all direction surrounding him creating a kind of barrier. The charging beast colliding with the white are pushed 6 m to the contrary direction. Now having a scared look at their faces the 3 beast start running in a opposite direction of the boy leaving the white haired alone in the open space only accompanied by the forest's silence.

<Bai's POV>

(It seems like 100 years old beast are no longer my match being impossible for them even leaving a crack at my most weak defense without considering their numbers). After scaring the beast I sit down in a lotus position doing my breathing routine improving my foundation and enlarging my lungs while I remember what I learned this last year.

<Flashback>

I am at the training room with mama and papa says "In addition of your normal routine you will have to learn 3 different techniques, they are Mind Eye, Stealth Treasure and finally the Raising Breath. The first 2 are techniques of our clan and I will teach you for the last is your mother self created technique and she will be who teach you." I nod "For Mind eye is technique that permits to observe your surrounding having a 360º view of what happen without necessity to even open your eyes, the information is essentially more basic than your normal sense so the information obtained it will be not too precise but nevertheless is always good to control your surrounding, moreover training it will help your mental energy to grow. Depending of your attainments in this techniques the range will grow and eventually it will be a passive where you can maintained without any effort. The method to training is meditating and slowly sending weak waves of spirit power outside your body that must have an boomerang effect detecting the changes of it" (So like a radar) "For the Stealth Treasure is a unique technique of our spirit so you should try if your mutated spirit can use it it based in controlling the flow off spirit power inside the pagoda maintaining it in each layer blocking the power to leave outside. With our spirit it is very simple to do and our spirit skills do not need to show our cultivation. With this technique we hide our cultivation being impossible to others to ascertain our rank without a very exhaustive analysis. There's also the evolved version of it named Mirror Treasure that let you lie to the rival the cultivation that you want only permitting leave the spirit energy that you decide even having the power to change the color of your ring causing the rival to underestimate you, being it way it can only show at maximum your true cultivation and a minimum of no cultivation at all." Finish papa.

"For the breathing technique is simply that a form to breath exciting all the muscle and cells of your body improving it specially your stamina, mine is a little special only because the strange flow and the use of spirit energy in it. I'll will guide your first time and then you can repeat after that." Says mama.

After that they spent 1 month teaching me the basic of each technique until I can practice without the help of any of them. With this my training regime grew keeping me busy most of the day. At the sunrise cultivation until breakfast, then meditating improving the Mind Eye and Stealth Treasure (Yeah it was exactly the same with my NTGTS than with the STGTP) improving my mental power until lunch, at evening running and doing weight training for 2 hours then a little snack and sword training finishing with a little sparing with my mother and breath routine (I shivered remembering, mama's usually very kind and easy going but when she fight she become an spartan teacher that hit me every time a commit any tiny error. Specially when teaching the Raising Breath she was always hitting my stomach shouting that I'm wrong and that I must do a correct posture). Then taking dinner and finally a little cultivation before sleeping. Only having two days a week to rest and recuperate that a spent playing with my sister and taking naps feeling to numb to do much.

After a year of continuing the regime, my Mind Eye rank it can be extended to 20 m when concentrating and 1 m of passive, the Stealth Treasure was easy to master and I can control the cultivation that I show but for the ring color I must concentrate in it and for now it impossible to maintain the changed color when using the skill. For the breathing a can finally do it alone and it is an always improving so my body is strengthening and finally my sword art has improved finally focusing in a more defensive style (Yeah at first I want go offensive but I have more talent in defense and with my Intent it go better) completely attaining the Sword Intent Real creating intent whenever I want even though it consumes a lot of stamina so I can only go with maximum strength 1 time and 2 times without overexertion. For my spirit rank it is 19 so it won't take long before I become a spirit grandmaster.

Today I wake up and as usually in a lotus position I start cultivating. When I go to take breakfast I find only grandpa Bone that he says "Your parents have an urgent business so they will not come in a while. Moreover you had a good foundation but lacks practical experience so we decided that I will take you to a forest to gain some experience fighting with spirit beast there. There you will be alone and learn how to survive without any help until you can win over the strongest beast there, don't worry too much is a low grade danger level territory with only 10 years only spirit beast being only a handful of 100 years old" (Yahoi! Finally finishing this hell training and I can start real fighting and without the continue control over me.) like reading my mind grandpa Bone says "That is a training so even with your fighting you must continue to the training routine improving and putting it to practical use" I silently cry "If after that training you didn't arrive at our expectations there will be a severe punishment" he says grinning causing me to shiver. Then grandpa invoke a black hole and both of us enter it.

At the other side of the black hole I can see that we are at the entrance of a forest "Welcome to the Dawn Forest your new home for a undetermined time!"says grandpa doing a bow like presenting me the forest. Then grandpa gives me and white armor that can cover all the important part of my body and a a statue of a pagoda saying "This will be your protection this silver flexible armor able to stop a 1000 thousand beast strike at the cost of breaking. If there's some case that the armor take damage to a certain extent it will warm me and I will go to rescue you, the statue is similar, if you break it will warn me, if nothing happen use it when you thing that you finish your training. Good Luck!" He says disappearing.

(My new and first alone adventure will start) "Be prepare forest because I Come. YAHOI!" I shouted running to the forest.
