(Pov third)
Everyone raced to the training field to watch Apporou and Houjin spar. It was a rare sight due to the destruction it caused, so even people from the camp were excited. Their kids were, of course, cheering the loudest to show their fathers' support. Once the start of their battle was signaled, Apporou rushed straight at Houjin.
The little brother remained calm as he slashed the ground, causing vines to burst out, wrapping Apporou's body. The black demon was shocked that these vines require more force to break. It was like he was bound in sturdy steel chains. Without taking a break, Houjin then used his fourth soul skills to create a cage. Of course, Apporou should not be underestimated.
Before Houjin could continue his assault, the elder brother punched out of the cage using a pair of imaginary arms. Houjin didn't lose his calm seeing this; instead, he triggered his second soul skill [parasite]. Blue Silver Grass began to form on Apporou's body, binding him and slowly absorbing his mana to strengthen themselves. Seeing him restrained, Hou rushed his brother to deliver the final blow. However, before he could strike, Rou broke free from the cage using a burst of lightning. The brothers then spared for another hour before stopping.
Seeing their battle end, the brothers' children came running up.
Bianca:Daddy, that was amazing. I know you and your uncle are strong, but that was awesome.
Argento:Yeah, we want to be as strong as you when we grow up.
The two doting fathers' hearts swelled with pride to hear their children's words. In truth, both were holding about and barely used any strength. If they were not to hold back, then just the shockwaves from their battle would damage the palace. This was especially true for Houjin if he used his Clearsky Hammer. Recently, he had been learning smithing skills from the dwarfs to use in battle. Regarding raw Destructive power, Houjin was miles ahead of his brother.
After their sparing session, Houjin decided to look through his system for more techniques. His martial souls were influential but too recognizable. This would make things troublesome if he had to do something more illegal. Besides, they would add more unpredictability to his fighting style. While he went through each technique, Houjin was shocked by how many there were. Most of them were similar but had a few key differences. For example, they offered several ways of cultivating spiritual energy and its different forms. With his current technique, Houjin was cultivating something called Shen Dao.
Within his spiritual, there was a miniature floating baby version of himself. Until now his spiritual growth increased, and the baby remained the same. Since it didn't weaken him, Houjin decided to ignore it for now. He had time to think about it. His search through the system examined what was happening. In simple words, it was the result of a fuse between his blessing and the system.
Houjin's soul was able to split, allowing him to cultivate his soul in several different ways. Currently, he was cultivating his divine sea from the Spirit Eye. He also cultivated a divine soul thanks to his Taichi Subduing dragon exercise. Realizing this, he began to look through the system for a soul cultivation technique. Eventually, he came across one called the Nine Turn Dragon God Technique. In the method there were several exciting ways for him to use his divine soul, including transformation. Wanting to act now before it was too late, Houjin left for a dungeon.
(Pov Hou)
When the Samurai girl learned about this trip, she begged to come along. Since she was pretty strong and helpful I relented and brought her along. After thinking about it, I decided to make it for now. We decided to go to the dungeon Ogakichi was in. As for how we're traveling, it was something I made myself. After getting my Inscription and blacksmith skills to level ten, my brother me the idea to make a vehicle. My brother had told me about something called a motorcycle which sounded cool. So I immediately went to work making one. After spending weeks on it I finally finished.
The bike was an azure color with light behind the frame. If someone were to look closely the bike appeared to be designed to look like a dragon. As a power source I used my soul power. At first my brother was worried about the drain but thanks to my recent breakthrough that disappeared. It happened when I was circulating my exercise like normal. Suddenly my five attribute soul power comdined becoming denser, pureer and more intense.
I was worried at first thinking I lost the benefits of the five elemental soul power but that vanished almost instantly. As it turns out this new energy has the trait of the others just combined with an additional benefit. I am now able to transform my soul power into a new form of Destructive energy. Just a tiny speck held enough power to make the ground tremble. My brother immediately said I could use my new power casually.
Curious about what it was I found mention of it in the Taichi Subduing dragon exercise. Apparently it was a form of energy dragons cultivate called dragon force. When I told my brother he became angry that I didn't already know. After that I carefully reviewed the exercise to make sure there won't be any surprises in the future. Sorry about that I got distracted back to the matter at hand. I am on way to the dungeon town Purgatory. If I am remembering correctly then there should be several dungeon for my to play around in.
Samurai girl:Excuse me sir but I was wondering why you suddenly want to go to a dungeon.
Houjin:That my dear is obviously because I need a good fight.
Of course that was a lie and what I really wanted was to collect some soul points. As we were speeding along I noticed a soft pair of breast pressing my back. Now that I was out of father mode I started to notice how attractive Female Samurai is. Her body was lean with just the right muscle fat balance. Then there was her beautiful black hair which smell like cherry blossoms. At last I was not able to hold back anymore and quickly found a nearby inn.
