《War Of The Spirit Animal Arts》Ch2: The Four Holy Beasts
Advertisement
"Finally we have the four holy Beast Arts. They are the 4 divine Chinese constellations, that serve the great Yellow Star Emperor Dragon Koryu. They Are Suzaku The Vermillion Bird; The Phoenix, Byakko The White Tiger, Genbu The Black Turtle Entwined in Snakes, and Seiryu The Azure Dragon. Though we have not masters, But four students who graduated from your very school." One of them stepped forward. "I'm Ryo Of The Holy School Suzaku. Just a year ago I was where you all stand. Im still learning myself but I've come a long wat since graduating from your school. Allow me to demonstrate what I've learned so far." He concentrated as his Power level rose to unimaginable levels as the place shook. His arms turned into phoenix wings, a flaming tail appeared as the rest of his body erupted in flame. Then a giant Phoenix appeared. It flew up and around he gym before flying into Ryo, causing his own flames to grow and burn hotter. Everyone there but the other three holy students and Azusa were sweating. But his flames suddenly ended as he was out of breath. "Like I said, I'm still fairly new. After a year I'm only a 5th Luhan Layer." The Kids were shocked. "Hes only a 5th Layer? In only a year? That would take any normal school arts student years. Most don't even reach 4 in Their lifetime. And I know training as a holy beast is even tougher than any regular school." Tobias stammered. "Hes a hard worker. That's all there is to it. I plan on becoming a master of whatever school I end up in." Chansu said back. "As Suzaku Warriors. We can control fire of all color intensities, Change ourselves into Phoenix's completely, Summon a phoenix, as well as absorb it for an unimaginable power boost. Were invulnerable to all weapons, and projectiles when in Phoenix form. In other words were unstoppable." Ryo sat back down. Next stepped forward the Byakko Student. "I'm Tora. I'm 17 and im a 7th Luhan Layer Byakko student. Dont Listen to Ryo by the way. He couldnt even win a match of "Janken po"(rock paper scissor) let alone a fight wahaha. Allow me to demonstrate the powers of a Byakko Warrior." Tora concentrated and his body became enveloped in wind. He swiped his hand like a claw and a massive hurricane of claws blew through the room, with a tornado of claws at its center, swiping at the air. Then a giant white tiger emerged from within the tornado with a roar that shook the entire school. Then disappeared. "As a Byakko warrior, you control the wind as you slice the enemy over and over with tiger claws. If they try to dodge The hurricane claws grabs them and continues to swipe pulling them into the tornado. You can even merge with the tiger, as can Ryo and the phoenix. But i wont ruin the surprise heh" Tora sat down. Next up was The Genbu Student. He stepped forward. "I'm Sakai. And I am a 9th Luhan Layer and Genbu Arts Graduate. Sadly I can only show you the most basic of Genbu technique, as my power is to great to display an attack in here. I will be needing a Volunteer. The boy who Manifested a Leviathan and Launched a Fang earlier. Ah yes you." He pointed at Chansu, who stood up and stepped forward. "Come at me with everything you've got." "Alright." Chansu dashed forward, and dropped onto his Hands kicking at Sakai. A turtle shell manifested at each point of impact blocking Chansu's Kicks. Then snakes manifested grabbing his legs and lifting him. "Genbu The Black Tortoise Entwined in Snakes. The ultimate defense." Chansu concentrated his energy and Kicked through the snake on his right foot, The Leviathan appearing briefly, launching a Fang as well. Sakai's eyes opened wide as did the Seiryu warriors eyes. An Ethereal Turtle shell appeared around the two, as the Fang Disappeared inches from Sakai's neck. Then Beams of energy shot back past Chansu. "And at times, the Ultimate Offense. By summoning a turtle shell around you and the enemy, you create a separate spatial dimension where you can negate most attacks, even create a vacuum sucking out all oxygen. Only the highest Luhan Layers Masters can fully merge with their Spirit animal, and create a veil around themselves with which to contain oxygen. The snakes may also attack, and when absorbing an attack into the space created, a powerful counterattack is launched." Sakai sat down and the final holy beast user stepped forward. The masters bowed. The students followed suit. "I am Mizusa, eldest son of Mizuchi the current head of the Seiryu style and next inheritor of the position. You need not bow, I am but a fellow peer. They have to bow though." He said with a smile pointing to the masters. The kids all laughed. "I am at the pinnacle of the 9th Luhan Layer soon to break through to the 10th Layer" The crowd whispered anxiously. "The Azure Dragon king, Seiryu is the ultimate beast in all ways possible. Sheer power at your fingertips. However only the strongest in mind, body, and soul, Determination, strong willed, the most Noble of warriors can awaken Seiryu." Mizusa's eyes became like a dragon, his skin became scaly, his face grew slender and elongated, a tail sprouted, wings flapped open, he breathed fire from his mouth and snout as the crowd's eyes went wide with admiration at his beauty. He rose into the air and flew around for a bit. "This is my Dragon form. Now If all of you will follow me outside." He flew out of the gym, and everyone followed. He landed and returned to normal form. I will now demonstrate a bit of my power." He faced away from the school, towards the forest just behind. The wind began to pick up, blowing intensely. It began to gather around Mizusa creating a pocket around him He kicked forward. "MIZUCHI!!!" a blade of wind pressure launched forward into the forest, rippling into blades slicing every in it paths, cutting a path all the way to end of the forest. The crowd was speechless. "That was Mizuchi. The most basic of Seiryu techniques. Seiryu the Azure dragon, has dominance over the wind beyond that of any other school. Now I will show you one more thing. As you all train you'll learn about battle auras. Presences, the feeling of others around. You'll be to able feel each other's killing intent and aura on the battlefield. Even now you can feel mine, and theirs because we are holy beasts, regular people can feel our presence. Yet no one would ever feel Koryu, for he dwells in the Realm Of Nothingness. The ultimate unification of mind, body, soul, and spirit animal. The user enters a state of non-Existence. Your aura disappears, your presence vanishes. It's as if your not even there. An overwhelming calm envelops the area around you. It is in this state, that all things become possible. And that victory is yours. Anyone can achieve this state, though very few have." Tobu Uma spoke. "Are you sayin-" "Yes, I have achieved the Realm Of Nothingness. I will show you." Mizuchi closed his eyes and concentrated. His power rose for a minute to immense levels, the teachers and students were struggling to keep their composure. Then it all disappeared and even calmer look than before appeared on Mizusa's face. "Void of any emotion, feelings, thoughts. All that exists is the power crush the unfortunate fool who faces one who enters the realm of nothingness. Your aura is gone as i said. But your power is maxed to its full potential. He simply turned to the forest and a blade of wind flew through it in an instant. All the trees fell. The entire forest toppled in a matter of seconds. Azusa smiled thirstily. Then Mizusa turned back to everyone and returned to normal, arms crossed, eyes closed. "I look forward to seeing who enters the school of Seiryu this year." he walked back to his peers. "You never told us you achieved the Realm Of Nothingness." Why would I?" "urghh now Im gonna have to work double hard if I'm gonna beat you one day." Ryo said. "WELL STUDENTS YOU HAVE HEARD WHAT EACH OF THE SCHOOLS ARE CAPABLE OF. ITS TIME TO DETERMINE WHO GOES TO WHAT SCHOOL."

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow. Thank you for your time and art skills.

Molting the Mortal Coil
Reincarnated as a child in a new world a mild mannered programmer, named Sage, finds himself struggling to survive. The road to immortality is paved with danger, treasure, and conflict. This mystical eastern world is filled with Demonic Beasts, Treacherous Cultivators, and Extraordinary Legacies. Follow Sage on his journey to adapt to this new world, and find out if he can overcome the limitations of body, mind, and soul. Will he rise to the occasion and become a hero? Or maybe he'll turn to the dark side and end up a villain? Molting the Mortal Coil is more of a slower paced journey. It's not about endless battles and conquering the next bad guy who spits on the main characters shoes or sends him a funny look. There's also not a treadmill of tournaments or love interests. It's more of a slower burn with lots of, and hopefully not too much, world building. It's still supposed to be stuffed with action, but that won't pick up for a while since we start with a weakling. The first 30 chapters have a lot of time-skipping, but stay with me it gets better. I plan to re-write and add more to the first 30 in the future, but if you can push through I feel it gets much more fun after! Updates will be weekly. If you want to see more chapters, check out my Patreon(button at the bottom of every chapter)! Thanks everyone!
