Chapter 22 - Entering The Forest.

Grandmaster brought Sai Joshi to enter this place considered as a small town market,

"Do you know why I finished buying all the things at Itrus Star city?"

Sai Joshi shook his head.

Grandmaster pointed to the prices marked in the stores,

"Because arriving here, prices will all at least double. Are you not wondering, how a forest's edge can be this bustling. It's actually very simple. Where there are spirit beasts, there is profit. Particularly these special national spirit beast capturing forests are even more that way. Spirit masters are a wealthy group, and there are too many people wanting to make a profit off spirit masters."

Sai Joshi said,

"Teacher, what do those people shouting about recruiting groups mean?"

Grandmaster said:

"Spirit beasts are not so easily killed. Rather inherently formidable spirit beasts, even if not cultivating more than a few years, still has very powerful firepower. This kind of what is called grouping up for hunting spirit beasts, is just multiple people mutually cooperating. Hunting their respectively required spirit beast, and obtaining the spirit ring. Having the aid of other people, they can deal the required last attack on the spirit beast themselves. On the Continent it is the most common and safest method of hunting spirit beasts. Only, is grouping up that easy?"

Speaking of this, Grandmaster looked at these crying out spirit masters, his eyes exuding a trace of disdain.

"A genuinely outstanding spirit hunting group, will be composed of at least five parts: food system tool spirit masters will be responsible for supplies, healing system tool spirit masters responsible for condition and spirit power restoration. Agility system battle spirit masters responsible for scouting, strength system battle spirit masters responsible for blocking, attack system battle spirit masters responsible for annihilating the enemy. With these five parts composing the group, it can be regarded as a complete group. But also the coordination between each also can't take shape in a day or two. Alone it imperceptibly influences the process, and it requires at least several years to become coordinated. Even more importance must be attached to group's members, they must have mutual trust. Absolute trust. Otherwise, when encountering danger, they are veryeasily defeated in a moment."

Sai Joshi astonished asked:

"Why will they be defeated? Because of insufficient strength?"

Grandmaster shook his head, coldly saying:

"In the future, perhaps you also will chance to join a group in this way. When choosing a group, you can't even consider other members' actual strength, but the one thing you must keep in mind, in the group which you choose, that you can present your back before any other person."

Sai Joshi still did not very well understand Grandmaster's meaning, but Grandmaster also did not for a long time explain again. Bringing him towards the depths of the market.

Although the marketplace was a disturbing chaos, just as they moved away from the market, when they saw this huge forest, Sai Joshi still could not help but be somewhat shocked.

Trees tall and large showing their age, at the forest periphery, encircled by an immense steel fence, facing the forest, appeared a great number of piercing tips. The fence's height exceeded ten metres, looking extremely robust.

This still was not counting, outside the fence, a line of a hundred soldiers patrolling there. These troops wore meticulous suits of full body armor, hands grasping long spears, disciplined in neat formation, a hundred steel warriors standing together, giving people a kind of deadly feeling.

Grandmaster said in a low voice:

"Not anyone can enter Spirit Hunting Forest for capturing. Only spirit masters who have obtained a token issued by Spirit Hall, can enter Spirit Hunting forest to hunt spirit beasts. Although there are also those who have secretly entered, those people find it very difficult to have a good ending. These soldiers are only guarding the periphery, in Spirit Hunting Forest, there still are Spirit Hall enforcer groups, at all times inspecting tokens. Those people don't pay attention to sentiments."

Sai Joshi said:

"Teacher, in the end is this Spirit Hunting Forest considered Spirit Hall's or the country's?"

Grandmaster's expression turned cold, gesturing Sai Joshi to keep silent,

"Outside you must not again ask similar questions. Concerning the relationship between Spirit Hall and the nation, I will tell you again later. Obtaining a token is certainly not difficult: the first requirement is Spirit Hall's approval, determining that you have indeed reached peak stage power, requiring a spirit ring to advance. Next requirement is having the guarantee of at least three nobles."

While speaking, in Grandmaster's hand already appeared a token, the dark token was made from some unknown material, on the surface a pattern was formed by three kinds of figures fitted together, in the middle was a sharp sword pointing down, to the left and right of the sword, separately were a hammer and the head of a monster Sai Joshi had never seen before.

Grandmaster saw Sai Joshi's eyes full of curiosity, and put the sign in his hand,

"Remember this symbol, this is Spirit Hall's characteristic mark. Within Spirit Hall, there are six kinds of signs. Distinguishing each kind of token is very simple, just look on the figures. On the lowest grade token are only a sword, it symbolizes spirit hall's holy hall chief consul's spirit, and higher grade token tiles have on the side of the long sword a hammer. Symbolizing a spirit hall formidable elder."

Sai Joshi's inference ability still was not bad,

"Teacher, these two people in spirit hall position should be extremely significant, right. But, before I heard, beast spirits are more formidable compared to tool spirits, these two spirit master figures should both be tool spirits, right."

Grandmaster shuffled Sai Joshi's hair, with a cool smile said:

"People saying beast spirits compared to tool spirits are more formidable, concerning spirit understanding are obviously insufficient. Any spirit's strength, based on two things. One is how much spirit power is added at the awakening, the other is just acquired with the process of cultivation method. Perhaps, before thirtieth rank, beast spirits because they can add to themselves are yet compared to tool spirit masters a bit more formidable. But after arriving at higher ranks, between the two there certainly is no difference. Strong or not only depends on a person's cultivation."
