Chapter 198: Who Absorbed the Spirit Ring?
🕑 Added 2024-06-21 20:08:52 +0000 UTC"What!"
Da Ming and Er Ming noticed the corpse of The Dark Devilgod Tiger only after Xiao Wu's reminder.
Moreover, it seems The Dark Devilgod Tiger's Spirit Ring has already been absorbed.
"You actually killed The Dark Devilgod Tiger?"
Da Ming and Er Ming felt a bit apprehensive.
The main reason was that they didn't see too many injuries on the four of them, Su Wen included.
Although upon closer inspection, they could tell that Chen Xin and Dugu Bo were not in their peak condition, the fact that they weren't seriously injured was what mattered.
This indicated that they had not paid a heavy price to kill The Dark Devilgod Tiger.
Even though they were no longer at their peak, their current condition could at least replace at least one of the two.
Besides, Xiao Wu was also present.
"Human, leave Star Dou Great Forest!" Da Ming roared like a bull, erupting with terrifying intimidation.
The Titan Giant Ape also had a Soul Power eruption, with a terrifying power fluctuation spreading out, like a volcano about to erupt at any moment.
"Uncle Ning, let's go." Su Wen whispered. Three pages of the book merged into their bodies, integrating quickly and sprouting azure wings.
Su Wen waved his right hand, and the Illusionary Realm quietly descended to take away The Dark Devilgod Tiger's corpse. Azure Godwind wings appeared behind him as he swiftly flew backwards.
The four quickly flew towards the outskirts of Star Dou Great Forest.
Although Titled Douluo could already fly, their flying efficiency was not as good as Su Wen's Godwind wings.
Chen Xin's Flying Sword Technique naturally burst out faster, but it didn't match Su Wen's Godwind wings in endurance. Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Spirit was not adept at flying to begin with, and its flying speed was inferior to Su Wen's Godwind wings.
Watching Su Wen and the other three leave, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python did not pursue.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, why didn't you attack them!" Xiao Wu said anxiously.
"Xiao Wu, they were able to kill the Dark Devilgod Tiger, their strength is not weak. It's better to avoid conflict if possible. This is not the Core Area, just the outskirts. If there are other human Titled Douluo behind them, we might be ambushed if we pursue," Da Ming said.
Er Ming and Xiao Wu nodded thoughtfully.
Xiao Wu glanced at Er Ming who nodded along with her and rolled her eyes.
Er Ming looked at Xiao Wu and gave an awkward silly laugh.
Spirit City.
Pope's Hall.
"Your Holiness, there is news from the Star Dou Great Forest. It seems that Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, and Su Wen were seen," Chrysanthemum Douluo said.
"Oh? What were they doing in the Star Dou Great Forest?" Bibi Dong asked.
"According to reports, there was a strong battle disturbance in the outer periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest, caused by the conflict between Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts. At the time, the surrounding Spirit Masters were of low level, so the assessment wasn't very accurate, but it was confirmed that the Spirit Beasts were at least of the eighty-thousand-year level. There were strong sword energy, poison gas, and the radiance fluctuations enhanced by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spreading out.
Due to the intense battle disturbance and the presence of low-level Spirit Masters in the vicinity, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo maintained Soul Power deterrence throughout the following days, preventing any Spirit Master from daring to approach and investigate the situation. Later, The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python were reportedly seen, and both sides did not engage in conflict. Subsequently, in Star Fall Village, someone spotted Ning Fengzhi and the others," explained Chrysanthemum Douluo, detailing the sequence of events.
Bibi Dong listened to the entire intelligence report, a pensive look flashing in her narrow eyes.
Chrysanthemum Douluo had just received the information and was now reporting it, still digesting and speculating.
"With such a setup, they should be hunting Spirit Rings."
"But who among those four would need Spirit Rings?"
"Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo already have all nine Spirit Rings gathered, so they naturally wouldn't need Spirit Rings."
"That leaves only Su Wen and Ning Fengzhi."
"Ning Fengzhi, with his Martial Spirit Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, has already attached seven Spirit Rings and cannot attach more Spirit Rings."
"So, is it Su Wen?"
"But how is that possible?"
"How could he do it so quickly?"
"He's only sixteen!"
"Moreover, that Spirit Beast was at least of the eighty-thousand-year level, possibly even on par with Spirit Beasts like The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python who arrived later. At the very least, it's a top-tier Spirit Beast, possibly even a super Spirit Beast. Absorbing Spirit Rings from such creatures is far more difficult than ordinary eighty-thousand-year-old Spirit Rings."
Su Wen absorbing a Spirit Ring of this level is impossible, isn't it?
Even leaving aside whether he could absorb such a Spirit Ring, it's already beyond belief for Su Wen to reach Rank 60 at the age of sixteen.
Achieving Rank 50 at sixteen is already somewhat unbelievable, and could barely be explained by Su Wen's numerous cultivation techniques.
However, reaching Rank 60 at sixteen is beyond any explanation using Su Wen's techniques.
"Old Chrysanthemum, you may have been looking in the wrong direction from the start," said the eerie voice of Ghost Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his eyes, pondering his partner's meaning.
Looking in the wrong direction from the start?
"Why can't Ning Fengzhi absorb an eighth Spirit Ring?"
"Of course, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can only absorb..." Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice trailed off gradually until it was gone.
He thought of Ning Rongrong.
In the Spirit Master Competition, Su Wen shined too brightly, overshadowing any other genius emerging in this edition of the competition.
"Three months ago, during the Spirit Master Competition, Ning Rongrong partnered with Su Wen, and her Martial Spirit evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Moreover, she is Ning Fengzhi's daughter," said Ghost Douluo in a gloomy tone.
"If his daughter's Martial Spirit can evolve, why can't his Martial Spirit evolve?"
"But he displayed his Martial Spirit at the end of the competition," replied Chrysanthemum Douluo. At that time, it was still in the form of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Perhaps it was to mislead outsiders. After all, if the fluctuations from their battle hadn't alarmed so many people, we probably wouldn't have known that they disappeared and went to Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts."
Bibi Dong listened to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's conversation without interruption.
She also only noticed from Ghost Douluo's reminder that Ning Rongrong's Martial Spirit evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect indeed masters the technique of Martial Spirit evolution, then Ning Fengzhi's display of his Martial Spirit at the competition also seems suspicious of misleading outsiders.
However, Bibi Dong couldn't completely dismiss the speculation that Su Wen absorbed the sixth Spirit Ring.
After all, Su Wen has already shattered many impossibilities.
"Pay attention to the recent movements of Su Wen and Ning Fengzhi, gather information about them, and determine who absorbed the Spirit Ring."
Regardless of who obtained the Spirit Ring, it holds significant meaning.
Star Fall Village.
"Xiaowen, it's time for you to get busy too. There's news from the sect that the construction of Wisdom Palaces in major cities within the Heaven Dou Empire is almost complete, except for your Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge," Ning Fengzhi said to Su Wen after reviewing the latest intelligence.
Su Wen wasn't surprised by this.
The sensation caused by the Spirit Master Competition destined that the construction of Wisdom Palaces in major cities across the continent would proceed extremely rapidly.
The only question remained whether the Wisdom Palaces could be sustained in the long term.
As for this question, Su Wen had long had an answer.
