--- Chapter 12 ---
"Innate Full Spirit Power..." Bibi Dongxue stated while staring at the blue crystal, which shone brightly with blue light and illuminated the room.
'Well, he awakened three martial souls, after all.' She thought as the blue crystal suddenly shone brighter.
*Cracks!*
"The crystal..." Bibi Dongxue's eyed widened while seeing the blue crystal in Yunlong's hand cracked.
*Boom!*
The blue crystal exploded into dust, which makes the mother and the son shocked.
"Eh? Huh?!" Bibi Dongxue and Yunlong stared at the flying clouds of dust in the air with a dumbfounded expression on their face.
'Yunlong is not just full innate spirit power! He's like Renxue...' Bibi Dongxue thought while shifting her gaze to her son.
'He awakened innate soul power of level twenty!' She added in his heart before infusing her spirit energy into Yunlong's body.
'What happened, Neo!' Yunlong asked his system.
[You have awakened innate full spirit power of level twenty]
[It's only happened when someone had supreme martial soul, but in your case, it's because of your triplet martial souls]
"Yunlong's spirit rank is level twenty..." Bibi Dongxue muttered as she already confirmed this by checking her son's body.
"Genius of this era, huh." She added in her heart before chuckled.
Bibi Donxue is hugging her son tightly before staring at his eyes.
"My son is the greatest." Bibi Dongxue beautifully smiled, making Yunlong feel a little weird, but he still calmly stared at her.
'That man doesn't deserve her...' Yunlong thought before sighed in his heart while thinking about something.
'She close to two males; the first one is her teacher, who ironically raped her while the second one rejected her because of his self-esteem.' He added in his heart while feeling bad for his mother, but he can change it; he can make her happy.
"I can make her happy, and that man can't," Yunlong muttered with a glint of light on his eyes.
"Hmm? You can make what?" Bibi Dongxue asked as she could hear his words, but only the first part of it.
"Nothing," Yunlong replied before smiling at his mother.
"So, when will we hunt a spirit beast for my martial soul." He said to change to the topic of conversation.
"Well, we can go now if you want to." Bibi Dongxue stated as she doesn't have a problem hunting a spirit beast for him.
"Then, we can go to the demonic mountain in the back of the village, right!" Yunlong excitedly said as the demonic mountain is a spirit beast habitat, which is inferior to star dou forest but still had a wide variety of spirit beast.
'Demonic mountain... It's not as dangerous as the star dou forest, and it should be fine for Yunlong to hunt a spirit beast there.' Bibi Dongxue thought before nodded her head.
"Okay, let's go to the demonic mountain." Bibi Dongxue said while patting Yunlong's head.
Yunlong smiled in his heart as with this; he could try his [Mortal Sin: Gluttony] to absorb spirit beast's soul and hopefully gain their skill.
'There martial souls... I can imagine how powerful I become after I fuse them with many kinds of bloodlines, spirit beasts, martial souls, and skill.' Yunlong thought while enjoying his mother hug.
After their short hugging session is over, they then prepared a few things before walking toward the demonic mountain, which is not far away from the soaring dragon city.
Two of them are walking in the mountain as Bibi Dongxue suddenly felt a spirit beast presence.
"There is a spirit beast. Yunlong took out your weapon." Bibi Dongxue instructed, but to her surprise, Yunlong already had Dawn Breaker in his left hand.
'Did he sense it?' Bibi Dongxue thought with a frown as she knows Yunlong's progress in these years.
'He can't sense more than thirty meters radius, but...' She added in her heart.
Well, Yunlong didn't sense it and to be precise, he only noticed it on his system map, where it's showing one red dot moving at a fast speed toward them.
So he instantly took out his Dawn Breaker from his inventory while using his serene breathing as he waited for the incoming spirit beast.
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Aroused]
Yunlong's eyes shone with red light as a great hunger arose in his stomach.
"Mother... can I hunt this spirit beast? I want to test my ability!" Yunlong suddenly said while shifting her gaze to his mother, showed her his shining red eyes.
"Yunlong..." Bibi Dongxue said while looking at her son's eyes.
"You can, but I will interrupt the fight if something dangerous happens to you." She stated while giving him a stern look.
"Mm, I understand." Yunlong nodded his head before shifted his gaze again to the front with a smile on his face.
As he waited for a few seconds, a breeze rustling sound appeared from the forest and showed a four-legged beast with armour-like fur.
[Name: Iron-Clad Panther]
[Species: Spirit Beast]
[Age: 497 years old]
[Special Ability: Hardening]
"497 years old spirit beast," Yunlong muttered before dashed forward.
*Roar!*
The panther roared as he saw a human child dashed toward him.
'This panther tried to intimidate me, huh.' Yunlong thought with a funny smile on his face as he drew out his katana from its sheath.
'First Sword: Early Summer Rain.' He added as he thrust his sword to the panther's throat.
The panther's fur suddenly shone with black light as his sword thrust produced a metal clank sound.
*Clank!*
'Well, I will use more strength then.' Yunlong thought as he used the second sword of serene sword arts.
'Vajra Body... 50%.' He added while his arm muscle twitched.
Yunlong vertically slashed his katana downward as a sound of thunderclap is echoing in the area.
*Slash!*
*Roar!*
The katana slashed through the panther's front leg, which makes the spirit beast roared in pain.
'Almost all of the panther's body covered by these hard furs, but its eyes are not.' He thought before thrusting his katana into the panther's eyes.
*Puchi!*
The katana stabbed the panther's eyes, which goes through the panther's brain and instantly killed the spirit beast.
"That was easy," Yunlong commented while looking at the yellow spirit ring, which is floating above the panther's dead body.
He pulled out his katana from the panther's eyes as Neo's monotonous voice appeared in his head.
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]
Yunlong is suddenly gasping as he could feel the soul of the panther spirit beast swallowed by him or his gluttony.
'My hunger is dismissing...' Yunlong thought as the red light in his eyes become faint.
[You have gained a little piece of Iron-Clad Panther's spiritual energy]
[You have gained a little piece of Iron Clad panther's soul energy]
[You have gained Hardening Skill]
"I see... I really hit the jackpot." Yunlong laughed with a smirk on his face.
