[SPIRITUAL INVOKER EQUIPPED]

And Carter was once again the silver-haired Fighter. However, he was a little different this time. His body built like a miniaturized tank and his fingers felt like steel. His eyes were sharp like birds and his muscle strained into the white Gi.

’Hmm... My body doesn’t change much appearance wise. But the nature of it had changed.’

"Tiger Style - Ferocious Claw!"

An illusion of an orange tiger appeared behind Carter as he struck a tree in front of him. The projection of a tiger arm hovered a little bit above his own arm, three long orange claws shot out and sliced into the trees.

The tree was split in three parts.

"Hare Style - Jumping Steps!"

This time it was a Gray Hare. Carter dashed away in a blinding speed. He didn’t use Adrenaline yet but had already achieved an unimaginable agility.

"Hornet Style - Needle Sting!"

Carter stopped in front of a boulder. His right index finger straightened as he thrust it into the thick boulder. The finger went into the rock like it was made of butter. Then a thin strip of energy shot out from his finger and went out of the other side of the boulder.

Spiritualization was much less impressive than Transcension. It wasn’t also an Unknown-Rank skill. It felt more align with the power of the body and perfectly encapsulated the primal natures within.

Transcension was that of a higher caliber. But Spiritualization was more deadly... for now.

’Transcension’s only weakness is I cannot use it effectively because the great amount of energy it requires. But this weakness will disappear the higher the rank is. Spiritualization is more powerful for now but Transcension will definitely triumph over it in the future.’

These abilities and skills weren’t the only things Carter received.

Similar to Transcension, there was also an Art forming inside Carter’s mind. Once he was satisfied testing Spiritual Invoker’s new power, Carter sat down. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

’Show me...’

Shrine Maiden had a clean beautiful Mirror World. Spiritual Invoker had a lush forest with a large tree that cover the entire sky. In there, there were countless Spirit Animals going around.

Those were the twelves Spirit Animals Carter had.

The Bear appeared and struck at Carter. Carter fought it in his mind.

[Synchronization +0.1%]

[Synchronization +0.1%]

[Synchron...]

Once he defeated the Bear, Carter stopped.

’The same rate as Mirror Art. This increases Spiritual Invoker’s Synchronization 0.1% every 100 seconds.’

[Total Synchronization Gain]: 8.5%

Carter fought be bear for almost 15 minutes and received that much Synchronization.

’Shrine Maiden has Art of the Mirror World. Spiritual Invoker has... Art of Primal Instinct.’

Carter named the new meditation technique.

’I should get going to Kyoma now.’

It was already noon. If he kept loitering around, he would miss Tenmaru and the opportunity to register as a candidate in the Chuuchi Tournament.

"Vulture Style - Air Gliding!"

The Black Vulture appeared behind him as he soared to the sky.

In Kyoma, Tenmaru tapped his feet, waiting at the busy tavern. He had waited here for six days. Today was the last day that anyone could register to participate in the Chuuchi Tournament.

And yet, Ginro Musashi was not found.

"Still waiting for that lover of yours, Tenmaru?" A man laughed darkly.

Tenmaru ignored them.

In the other side of the tavern was a group of men in black martial uniform. These people belonged to the Black Steel Sect, a new and very popular sect within Jado that was created not long ago.

The man that just spoke was Elder Shoma of the Black Steel Sect. He took a liking to Tenmaru’s talent and asked him to be his student but Tenmaru denied.

Such a man like Shoma couldn’t accept those kind of disrespect so he and his students had been bothering Tenmaru for the last few days.

The young man was very smart and avoided unnecessary trouble with them. Tenmaru was different from before. With the power of the Unnamed with him, he wasn’t really afraid of Shoma, even though he was an Elite.

However, Tenmaru did feel upset about what they said about Musashi. When he told them about Master Ginro, Shoma laughed him off and didn’t believe him.

"Stop dreaming, son!" Elder Shoma said. "No one can do what you told us about. That man simply doesn’t exist. All martial arts need to be channeled through the Sacred Words. And none was red."

Shoma was obviously referring to the Red Aura of Adrenaline.

Tenmaru, obviously, had been asking around if anyone saw Ginro Musashi. But none had even heard about him and his unique red aura.

Carter landed gently inside Kyoma.
