This windfall reeks of the irresistible smell of dangerous opportunity. Of course you'll try to abuse it.
You gather all the doses of <span class="mu-s">Body Tempering Liquid</span>. Two of the bottles are given to Man Din, and one to Sin Din.
The twin start circulating their techniques. Better leave them alone, while you stress about tomorrow.
>Man Din : 9,31 : Failure
>Sin Din : 94 - Success in breakthrough
The twin come back. Sin Din is enthusiastically gleeful, Man Din is staring down in a resigned gloom.
2 doses of BTL remains. You hand them to Man Din.
"Here. Don't worry - it would have been worst for us if you broke through but couldn't stabilize in time - speaking of go back training Sin!"
She won't rest tonight - but the surge of energy bottled up in her heart aperture will make that unnecessary anyway.
You pocket one of the empty bottle painted with the 33 beasts, to use as your Medicine jug, instead of the small leather pouch. You're quite happy possessing such a nice object.
With that sorted, it's time to sleep. The beds have cloud-like mattress and smooth sheets. You instantly drifts away.
You wake up at the first lights of the day, from a light knock on the door. You open it, stepping over a droolin but stabilized Sin Din, and the quiet man from yesterday hands you a mouth-watering heavy trail of food.
"<span class="mu-s">Breakfast. Get ready - you fight in one hour and a half.</span>"
You blink, and he's already gone.
You gaze down, as your belly rumbles.
"<span class="mu-i">Is that white rice? I feel like a princess!</span>
- <span class="mu-r">The duck is amazing!</span>
- <span class="mu-s">Dry meat is good.</span>
- <span class="mu-g">Then don't hoard it all!</span>"
You eat silently, agreeing with your team mates.
You recognize the lingering flavour, a rich taste of fulfillment. The taste of ingredients rich in spiritual energy.
You can't help but wonder how strong would the disciple of this branch grow to, with such an high-quality environment.
The long-awaited first fight is already here. Another knock, the same discreet man guide you in a preparation room near the Arena.
Dhundan un-bundle his treasured saber while you and Sin Din require halberds, Yi requests a Bo-staff and Man Din a chain.
The man comes back and give you the weapons, while casting the paint-formation thing on you - covering your weapon and bonded spirit beasts.
Your team steps outside, entering the battlegrounds of the Arena in the blinding sun.
"<span class="mu-s">And now, the Decennial Beast Tamers tournament will start!
First, we wish to thank the honorable guests of the sect of the Fist of the Green Dragon and the Paper Tigers, which accepted our invitation.</span>"
You turn around, and meet the gaze of two impressive Daoist. The first is wearing a black gi with a green sash. The second, a blue-sky kimono with embroidered tigers.
