Chapter 66: Third Spirit Ring!
🕑 Added 2024-03-05 13:06:26 +0000 UTCSu Wen has always been concerned about understanding his own situation.
After all, since the second ring, he has been destined not to follow the conventional Spirit Master's Spirit Ring's Age pairing.
And in order not to waste his own conditions, Su Wen's goal is to align each Spirit Ring with the age range that best suits him.
This requires him to have a very good understanding of his own physical condition.
"Uncle Zhan, you can rest assured, I won't joke about my own life," Su Wen said firmly, with an unquestionable appearance.
Obviously, he was determined to absorb the Spirit Ring of this 5,300-year-old Stone Monster.
"Well, forget it, you have your own research in this area, and as long as there is no misjudgment, there should be no accidents," Uncle Zhan sighed.
Xiao Zhan no longer interfered.
Dugu Yan still had a shocked expression.
'Five thousand three hundred years.
Oh my god!
Could Xiaowen's possibly absorb a Spirit Ring this age?'
"Uncle Zhan, I need your help."
The strength of a thousand years old Spirit Beast is already quite powerful.
Hunting down a thousand years old Spirit Beast often requires Spirit Masters at the level of Spirit Elders, and even then, cooperation is needed for any hope of success.
Moreover, this is only an ordinary thousand years old Spirit Beast, with an age limit of only one or two thousand years old.
As for the five thousand three hundred years old Stone Monster that Su Wen has targeted this time, it is beyond the capability of a Spirit Elder to handle, and many Spirit Ancestors may not even be able to deal with it.
"Alright, leave it to me!" Xiao Zhan said.
...
Watching the dying Stone Monster, Su Wen's expression was trance-like.
Just now, he had truly witnessed Xiao Zhan's fighting style.
It was genuinely ferocious.
Su Wen's performance in battle was at most that of a normal Attack-type Spirit Master, while Xiao Zhan was indeed extremely aggressive.
Through the recent battle, Xiao Zhan forced out many abilities of the Stone Monster, allowing Su Wen to witness the various means of the Stone Monster.
"It suits me well."
He confirmed once again that he needed the Spirit Ring of this Stone Monster.
Injecting raging fire attribute Soul Power, he ignited the flames left by Xiao Zhan inside the Stone Monster.
Boom!
Su Wen killed the Stone Monster.
A Spirit Ring emitting a rich purple light floated up from the Stone Monster.
Su Wen took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and guided the Spirit Ring to land on himself.
"Hiss~~~"
The raging Spirit Ring Soul Power rushed into his body, instantly shattering Su Wen's meridians.
Unlike what he had told Xiao Zhan, Su Wen's physical condition was not up to the task of absorbing this Spirit Ring.
His confidence in absorbing this Spirit Ring relied mainly on actively guiding the Spirit Ring Soul Power to permeate into the Martial Spirit Space, reducing its pressure on the meridians.
In fact, this is a way to indirectly lower the requirements of the body's qualities for absorbing the Spirit Ring.
As for the refining effects of the Fire Demon Style on the body, Xiao Zhan was not sure. Especially for a Spirit Master at Su Wen's stage, he couldn't guarantee what effects practicing the Fire Demon Style to an advanced level would have.
That's why he let Su Wen come up with excuses.
Even with both internal and external cultivation, Su Wen's physique hadn't reached the required level, let alone just the simple body tempering of the Fire Demon Style.
However, everything had already been muddled through, and Su Wen was now attempting to absorb this five thousand three hundred years old Spirit Ring.
The violent Soul Power shock instantly caused cracks to appear in Su Wen's meridians.
Enduring the pain, Su Wen circulated the Soul Power within his body while simultaneously mobilizing the Source Soul Power within the Martial Spirit Space.
His exploration of cultivating Source Soul Power had given him a deeper understanding of the principle of energy penetration between the Martial Spirit Space and the body. At this moment, he was quite adept at penetrating it.
However, even so, swiftly introducing the Spirit Ring Soul Power into the Martial Spirit Space, the remaining Spirit Ring Soul Power left to impact the meridians was still considerable and ferocious.
Even if he could ferry it away, Su Wen still had to bear the impact of the remaining portion of the Spirit Ring Soul Power.
"The most important thing is still quality."
The age determines the quality of the Spirit Ring Soul Power, and the higher the quality of the incoming Soul Power, the greater the impact it causes when colliding within the meridians.
While a large quantity can indeed cause a Spirit Master to explode, the quality is equally terrifying.
Su Wen is currently trapped by the quality.
Under this horrifying Soul Power tempering, there is a sharp pain in his meridians and even throughout his entire body.
"I can still endure it!"
Gritting his teeth, Su Wen persisted, guiding the Evolution within the Martial Spirit Space.
As long as the Martial Spirit Evolution happens faster, he can suffer a little less.
Outside.
Watching strands of bloody mist rise around Su Wen's body in an instant, Xiao Zhan and Dugu Yan's hearts felt as if they were in their throats.
Especially as time passed, Su Wen's expression twisted, cracks appeared on his body, a large amount of blood gushed out, which made them both terrified.
For a full half hour, Su Wen's condition remained unchanged.
Eventually, half an hour later, the remaining blood began to scab, and Su Wen's expression began to calm down.
At this point, Xiao Zhan and Dugu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Absorbing a Spirit Ring above one's level is actually this terrifying?"
Just now, Su Wen gave the impression that he could explode at any moment.
No, this explosive feeling wasn't very obvious, but Su Wen's performance gave off this kind of impact.
It seemed like the energy of this Spirit Ring was enough to make him explode, but there was a feeling of insufficient momentum, as if it had been worn down by Su Wen.
"Xiaowen pushed himself too far this time. If there was even a slight mistake just now, he would have failed to absorb the Spirit Ring," Xiao Zhan's expression was solemn.
He had never seen such a situation before.
Absorbing above one's level, especially after so many years, in such a case, he observed every detail very seriously.
Su Wen's absorption this time was quite lengthy.
It took more than six hours.
Su Wen slowly opened his eyes.
The Spirit Ring emitting a rich purple light was now added to his original two Spirit Rings, one yellow and one purple.
The three Spirit Rings pulsated rhythmically, and a Heavenly Book floated above Su Wen's head.
Compared to its previous dazzling appearance, Su Wen's book still retained its splendor, but now it had a sense of heaviness.
At the same time, there were rocky patterns added to its book cover.
"Xiaowen, how's the effect?" Xiao Zhan was extremely excited at this moment.
It really worked!
He had seen the effects of five thousand years old Spirit Skills many times, but Su Wen having a five thousand years old Spirit Skill at the third ring was something he had never seen before.
And, what he cared most about was actually the improvement this Spirit Ring would bring to Su Wen.
"Barring any surprises, my Martial Spirit can be said to have evolved again, albeit to a small extent." Su Wen was also very satisfied with this absorption.
"My Third Spirit Skill, Stone Formation!"
The pages of the Heavenly Book above his head flipped one by one, transforming into massive boulders that crashed down onto the ground. An invisible oppressive force spread within the area sealed by the rocks.
