Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword

Chapter 9 - Gains and explanations 2

I wake up feeling my neck sore and with a little headache (Waking up from unconsciousness it has become a routine). I walk to he window seeing the sunrise ( It must like 8 o'clock). I decide to go to the dining room and have breakfast.

When I enter I can see my parents and only grandpa Bone (Strange. My sister surely is still sleeping but grandpa sword should be here). "Where's grandpa Sword? And why he hit me yesterday?!"I say angrily. "Xin is travelling outside for a special mission and won't return at least n a year, and don't blame Xin if he didn't stop you maybe you would had a backslash of your abilities and the damage it will be a lot worst of a little headache. Try to imagine if you had my spirit and tried to use the any skill support, being all high rank spirits master you're spirit will unconsciously try to support one of use causing you a big backlash for supporting over rank, and this even if you're at perfect conditions" Reprimand papa "You must never use something that you had any control" he thinks a little and continue "maybe except in extreme situations but that wasn't one".

"So how I'll no know what to do if I even try?" I ask a little angry. "You didn't read through all the spirit manual that we give you last year?" papa ask. "Maybe I skip some of the most boring parts" I answer a little guilty. My papa sighs and say in low voice very difficult to listen "Like mother like son" then return to normal volume "Once a ring is absorbed you must meditate concentrating all your mental power at your spirit specially at your new ring, after some time you will gain insight of the ring, its properties and effects in you. Similar when you know the name of your spirit when awakened. This case can be observed in your mother she didn't use his new spirit skills but new what are and how to use them".

"Soooo I meditate and I will know my skill?" I ask. "Yep, simple, no?" says mother " but even when you learn you're skill it will better not to use it you're not totally recuperated so it will be better to wait 1 week to stabilize your spirit energy, so meditate and cultivate a little before trying anything".

I nod and take one apple of the table and quickly eat it then I sit in a position lotus and start meditating. My papa sighs and saying "You can find a better place better place to meditate and I hope that you're breakfast will be more completes".

I lost sense of my surrounding manifesting my sword and posing it over my two hand and legs focusing only in it. The purple ring manifest shining brightly. I open my eyes but I don't see the familiar dining room I see a fiery scenery full of red flowers I sense the fire energy of them and also something more abstract like power. There's also one silhouette of a person with a sword in the middle of all the flower difficult to recognize. I approach finally identifying him. It's me or at least it's has a resemblance being red headed and having his sword completely red being the only differences.

He look at me and suddenly from the flowers flames erupt with a power of at least a 1000 years old beast burning the red-me, or not, after some time the flames extinguished and red-me is there completely fine only with very little burning like being produced by a lighter. He grins me grabs the sword with both hand and point and the sky suddenly I sense some energy leaving me feeling weaker and that energy going to red-me. Not only me I can see that is also absorbing from the flowers. After 0.5 second he dash forward me trying to slash me I rapidly invoke my sword and with a two-handed close guard I try to block his attack. When both sword collide his force I a lot stronger and I am pushed 5 meters behind (It's like his actual power is higher than 50% of mine). Without losing focus I recuperate my guard and wait for the next attack that didn't come. Red-me is grinning and dispersing in red light.

I slowly close my eyes to open again and see the familiar faces of my grandpa Bone, parents and sister.

"So? How is it? What skill do you acquire? Is super powerful?" My sister rapid fire questions very excited.

I hug my sister rubbing her cheek with mine "Yep, super cool you're big brother is the best and will protect" (Ah, I'm healed all the serious talk and the fainting there's nothing better than little sister energy.).

"Let me go! You meanie! I'm a big girl having in 4 month 5 years" pout my sister even when it's easy to see her smiling face. "Yeah, yeah. Rongrong is the biggest and the most cute of all" I answer freeing her of my embrace.

I turn a little more serious and say "I gained a skill I think that a have and idea of what it does but to be sure I will prove it the next week, also I gain a resistance to fire being necessary a fire of more power than a 1000 years ring to damage me" "It's normal, having survived your my fire is to be expected to gain some resistance" Says mama proudly.

"We will wait one week while you're train and cultivate to your best condition and then we will prove your skill" says father then he looks at my confused face and ask "It's everything okay?".

I answer "Yeah, but there's something that I still don't really understand. The ring absorbing day what were the light that showed my sword? I could see a white one that destroyed door and a black one that absorbed some fire but I don't know what were or how use them another time"

"AHH! Yeah I forgot to explain, my fault" my mama tehepero {I know it's japanese but I really like it} "The white light was your sword intent" She manifest her sword and without using any spirit energy a red aura surrounds it "See? It's a power created by your will I think that in the extreme situation you put all your will and accomplish the state of Sword Intent unconsciously. In my case it's battle and growth to continue fighting strong opponents years ago I was a famous battle junkie. For your case the most probable is that the intent was protection so it will be better that you remember that sentiment so it will help to control your intent. Until you accomplish the conscious manifestation at will you're not considered at this realm, but it's a big step nevertheless the first step it's always the most difficult. In my case I arrive at the realm of Sword Intent when I was 8 years and the people called me genius I don't think that you will spent more than a year to arrive so if I'm a genius you're a monster" says my mama proudly of me while moving up and down her arm "For the black light I don't have any idea".

My papa interrupts saying "I think that I know what that light was. If my calculation are correct this was a forbidden technique of our clan names Glazed Light. It's a forbidden technique that overwork our pagoda turning it golden permitting stack buff to the same person damaging our spirit in the aftermath shortening the user's life force. In your case due to your mutation your spirit main ability it seems to be absorb so when using this absorption grew permitting to absorb some of the fire energy." (So I lost life force and damaged my spirit, F.u.c.k!) my papa see my contorted face and say with light voice "You don't have to worry for the life force or damage absorbing the fire it seems like you recuperate the energy and improve your spirit, according Maya's test all seems good".

I sight in relief saying "Buff, great! I will go to the training room to cultivation and train" I say while running away "See you later".

Arriving at the training room I start meditating cultivating stabilizing my spirit rank and deepen in my sword realm. After sometime I stand up saw that someone prepare my lunch and left it on the ground, I eat it and start doing my foundation routine of sword's swinging, piercing and slashing. When I finish it's already night so I eat dinner and go to sleep. I repeat this routine during the one week.
