For three months after Solomon left Gabby he just stayed in his and Loretta's world while comprehending his Dao's. He had his portal locked to his fastest car that was traveling from Gabby's country to wherever Loretta was; Solomon only had a general idea where she was.
He hadn't made much progress towards Strength Dao or his Tree Life Dao and he wasn't actually studying his Lightning Dao since he was already at the Physical Embodiment level. He couldn't advance his Strength Dao since he couldn't actually better his physical stats until he leveled up. This meant he mainly studied his Tree Life Dao by living in a forest and using wood for everything . . . . . literally, everything. He lived in wood, ate wood, smelled wood, molded wood, grew wood, he even made a wood car that used manual power to move.
Of course Solomon didn't just study his Dao he would also train the young beasts and talk with Deam, Loretta, and Gabby. He kept up such a lifestyle for three months until he was disturbed by a message by his family in the forest, he got a message from them.
[ Hey son this is mom and dad, how have you been lately, we haven't heard from you in a few weeks and wanted to make sure you're okay. ]
Solomon read the message and realized he truly hadn't contacted his mom, dad, master, or kids. He knew that they were probably super worried, he couldn't imagine what it was like to have a kid or parent out in a dangerous world all alone.
[ Sorry mom honestly I have been studying the Dao and and training some of Loretta's creation's kids. I'm alright, though I've made literally zero progress towards my Dao's. ]
[ It's good to know you're alright. Honestly I'm surprised you aren't making any progress towards even your Lightning Dao! ]
[ The reason I can't advance any with my Lightning Dao is because I have already reached Physical Embodiment level. It'll probably be a few hundred years before I have any luck in that area. ]
[ What! You're already at the Physical Embodiment level?! I was level 22 when I reached that level in my first Dao, though I was about the same age and learning the Space Dao which is arguably harder. ]
[ So how have you and everybody else been? ]
[ Your dad has been the talk of the forest with his car that you made him, mainly because he disturbs everybody with his music. It was so bad the Shantey ( The Harpy Queen ) had to move her people to a different mountain. Your master has been pretty good though he has added three additions towards the G.A.A.L( Goddesses Against Aopara League ). Even his mom has hinted that she isn't against him being punished, though no death. She suggested they imprison him. Your's, Loretta's, Gabrielle's, and Deam's kids have been sweeping the younger generation. They can solo some of the Legendary Beasts of your's and there generation. I've been pretty good, you know that Storm Gourd you gave me, thanks to it I gave advanced tons towards the Storm Dao and even the Space Dao a little. Have you leveled up recently? ]
[ Nope not yet mom, I have killed a little eighty though. I'm on my way to meet with Loretta in order to kill this level sixty that has been causing her a lot of problems, that should level me up. ]
After that Solomon and Shie continued to talk for a few hours while Solomon tells her about how he killed Nath, and how he was training some kids, as well as some other events happening in his life. Shie just happily accompanied Solomon the whole time.
P.O.V Change - Kids
" So who are you going to challenge this time Sud? "
" Well you know a couple of people hinted at grandma and grandpa about marrying our sister's right. Well after being rejected on the excuse that only our parents can decided they have been personally annoying the girls right. One of the more persistent guys has been getting on Sande's nerves and she asked me to take care of him. She would do it personally but you know that she is at a critical moment for her Momentum Dao. You wanna join me? "
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
" Sure, I guess I can tell people to stop annoying my sister as well. "
As they were walking along Fear seemed to have a great idea, and he couldn't help but make it vocal . . . loudly.
" OOOO! I just came up with an awesome idea! "
" Thanks for screaming in my ear brother. Next time you have an idea you should right it down instead of deafening me and anything else with in a mile of us. Anyway what's your idea? "
" We should say that if anybody wants to marry our sisters they have to beat us in a fight before our parents gives consent. If they can't beat us then they can't marry our sisters. "
Skyddsud seemed to think for a few seconds before he listed one problem.
" You know full well the girls wouldn't want us to be controlling their love life. If they find a girl or guy they like it doesn't matter if they beat us the girls will still go out with them. If anything the girls will beat us up for them. "
" Then we can add that in the rules " they only exception is if Skyddsande or Rean like you ". "
" ' Sigh ' I guess but if the girls get angry you're taking the hit. "
" Alright. "
After that the two boys walked towards a wood stela that was set up right in the middle of the clan land. The stela is the second one in a duo of stelas that are in the middle of the clan land. Both of the stelas are for proposing challenges/ news that involve the younger and older generations of the forest. One of the stelas are for the older generation and the other is for the younger generation.
The boys were going to the stela to make a challenge to all the younger generation pursuing their sisters. The challenge read.
" To all younger generation pursuing Skyddsande and Rean Coille, if you want to pursue our sister's you must us. If you beat us you then have permission to ask our parents for permission to marry our sister's. The only stipulation to this rule is if our sister's fall in love with you and consent to you asking our parents. If you want to meet our sisters to pursue them you must submit a treasure, technique, or something of equal value. . . . What are you doing you idiot . . . .What do you mean . . . . .Why are you charging them to meet our sister's . . . . .Bruh, just think of how much we'll make if all those rich twats submit a technique or something, we'll be rich . . . . . . . Yeah but the girls are gonna be pissed . . . . . . Whatev . . Oh shit the stela is still recording . . . . . . God damnit lets get out of here.
It seemed that the stela is records all words spoken into it when it is activated. It was made this way to translate all words into a universal language. This was because there were thousands of different languages and dialects inside of the forest alone, this meant that if people wanted to issue a challenge by writing it into the stela they might use a language that not everybody knows.
Thanks to the voice recording function it lead to Sud and Fear becoming embarrassed. Of course such a situation had happened before and it was always funny.
When the clan in charge of spreading challenges and news throughout the forest they quickly spread the boys embarrassing moment to all the creatures of the forest. When the moment got out there were many mixed reactions. The youngsters who weren't pursuing the girls laughed while the ones that were were pissed at the resistance of finding a talented girlfriend. Some who knew they couldn't beat the boys gave up while those that were confident started to prepare for battle.
For a month after that the boys were extremely busy with dozens of battles. They were beaten a total of three times by two boys and one girl. Those three were from some large clans that inhabited the forest, the girl was a Garuda, one of the boys was a Satyr, and the other was an undead, a mummy. The mummy was from one of the three big undead clans that is neutral against all of the other clans in the forest. The Garuda was from a big clan ruled by Shiva. Shiva's clan is made up of individuals from many different clans, they're arrogant but powerful, also neutral. The Satyr is similar to the Garuda in that it is an individual that joined a clan under a certain God, the God Dionysus. Contrary to what was recorded the Satyr didn't have a constant erection.
When Coile and Sande learned of what their brother's did they were slightly touched and majorly pissed off. Odviously since no woman would want to have their love life controlled even if it was done with good intentions. After giving their brother's a hug and thanking them for proctecting them the girls proceded to beat both of them up and put them in lock up to practice. The boys suffered for one week for each challenger they beat up, they ended up suffering for thirty six weeks exactly.
