It has been a while since we moved into the mining cave and during this time quite a few things have happened. One thing was that I was able to return the girls their virginities by using a pill from the system. Although it was not capable of removing their memories but at least it was a start. When I told them about it they seemed to feel a little bit better since they can give their virginities to someone they choose. I also cleaned them up and aborted the baby inside of the youngest. In the days that past we have slowly grown closer together as time has passed although they are still warry. Every night while they slept I would stay up spending most of my time meditating hoping to reach two ring. Sadly thus far my efforts have all been in vain. No matter what I did my soul power would not increase passed 19. Upside however my control has improved be leaps and bounds. My spiritual energy has also been on the rise with me discovering a lot new usages. Such as using it to guide the soul power in body to move fast and at the same time I can use it to sense my opponents strength.
Rou: So how have things been going with your system has there been any new enhancements lately.
Hou: To be completely honest there have not been any changes except for the fact that my soul points keep going up. Still my main concern is that I can not seem to breakthrough to the two ring stage no matter what I do.
My brother and I said as we watched over everyone's training session using my spirit eyes to spot any mistakes. This has become something of a habit that when I can't figure something out I would go to him.
Rou: Why don't you stop being cheap and just buy one of those cultivation techniques that you told me about.
As I listened to him I have to admit that he has a point maybe I should just buy a technique so I can finally have some guidance. With that in mind I looked over the techniques I can afford which was pretty much all of them. As I went through there was one specific technique that caught my eye. It was a technique called Taiichi subduing dragon exercise and from its description it was made to allow people to slay dragons. Not only that but it also allows the user to use multiple forms of elemental energy. With all of that if I said it was not a good technique for me then I would be lying but still I am some what hesitant. After all what if I waste the points now only to really need them later. I wrestled with my doubts for a while before finally deciding to just do it and hope nothing happens.
[You have selected to purchase the cultivation technique "Taichi Subduing Dragon Exercise". Are you sure you wish to get this technique. {Y/N}
You have choose yes due to this being your first technique the system has waved the fee making it free.]
Once that message finished playing my head began to be filled with everything about the technique. There was a number skills inside that can help further increase my combat power. After buying it I informed my brother about the technique. As we were talking we noticed some presences coming toward us so we had every prepare to fight. The group consisted of mostly goblins with three hobgoblin. A smile appeared on my brother's face at the thought of another war for survival. However be fore we could start fighting gramps stopped us saying that they were the goblins that had left previously. Hearing that we lowered our weapons as Rou and I walked toward the group. As we approached I noticed amongst their group there are four girls tied up with tears in their eyes. My brother also noticed them so he asked the leader of the group if he wouldn't mind handing over the girls. This did not sit well with the leader because he grabbed Rou by his shirt and started yelling.
HobgoblinSei: Alright how about the two of you calm down before a full out war starts and lets just have you two fight. The one who wins will be the leader while the loser must obey.
GoblinRou: Sure I agree.
The leader also agreed to the terms that it will be a duel without the use of any outside weapons. The result of the duel is easy to guess. My brother won by using his thread ability to tie the leader up. Then he used him as a punching bag when he refused to give up. With that out of the way Rou informed the group about the rules as well as that the women can not be touched. Of he made sure to heal the leader as well. After dismissing everyone he asked me to follow him to our part of the cave. When we arrived the women under my protection were surprised to see the new addition. At first they became visibly anger but that quickly changed when they heard about how my brother saved the girls.
GoblinRou: Listen I know it is hard to believe but you have my word that so long as you stay here not a single person will touch you. Also if you need anything then feel free to ask either my brother or myself.
GoblinHou: That's right do not hesitate to ask me for anything also these girls can help you with most things. By the way just so you know there is nothing in this mine that happens without my knowing.
Done talking we left the girls alone as they started to cry so we left them with others hoping they can help comfort them. While we were leaving my brother and I discussed about what we will do with the new troops.
