Chapter 49: I Have a Daughter...
🕑 Added 2024-02-24 16:05:31 +0000 UTC"Would it be convenient to tell Uncle Ning about any breakthroughs you've had in Spiritual Power after the second Spirit Ring?"
Ning Fengzhi seemed confident that Su Wen had made a breakthrough in Spiritual Power.
Su Wen looked surprised, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, with the help of Monkey Wine, my Spiritual Power surged. Since then, I've been able to mobilize Spiritual Power, and after obtaining the second Spirit Ring, I directly opened the Sea of Consciousness."
"Opened the Sea of Consciousness!" Ning Fengzhi was astonished by Su Wen's breakthrough.
Such a significant breakthrough!
It's worth noting that many Spirit Saints may not necessarily be able to successfully open the Sea of Consciousness.
However, after getting Su Wen's answer, he went from surprise to excitement.
"It seems my guess was correct." Su Wen's answer preliminarily confirmed his speculation.
"If my guess is correct, you should have felt a powerful impact when absorbing the second Spirit Ring, and opening the Sea of Consciousness was also completed under this forceful impact."
This time, Su Wen was genuinely surprised.
"Judging by your reaction, it seems there was indeed such a process," Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "In that case, I can understand roughly why your thousand-year-old second ring could be successfully absorbed."
"Luck is a tricky thing; many times, it's really hard to fathom."
"Your Martial Spirit's Innate Soul Power is at least at the fifth level, indicating that it can't be a completely ordinary Book Martial Spirit. It must have undergone a mutation, likely in the Spiritual attribute. This is probably also the reason why you chose a Spiritual attribute Spirit Ring for your second ring."
Su Wen nodded, continuing to listen as Ning Fengzhi explained why he could successfully absorb the thousand-year-old Spirit Ring without needing him to come up with a reason.
"And Monkey Wine effectively helped you unearth your talents in the Spiritual aspect. At this point, your Martial Spirit itself was at an Evolutionary node. Stimulated by the Phantom Fox's thousand-year-old Spirit Ring, which completely exceeded the tolerable range, your Martial Spirit underwent evolution."
"A significant portion of the power within the Spirit Ring was used to impact the Sea of Consciousness for you, coupled with the robustness of your physical qualities enhanced by Monkey Wine, which helped you withstand it."
In conclusion, according to Ning Fengzhi, the most crucial factor for Su Wen's success was the consumption of a considerable amount of energy from the Spirit Ring in the process of opening the Sea of Consciousness.
"It's also possible that the power consumed by the evolution of your Martial Spirit was too much."
These deductions are based on the premise that Su Wen's Martial Spirit is in the process of evolution or is on the verge of evolving.
"Your Martial Spirit is undoubtedly mutated, and it may not be fully mutated."
All these conditions combined are what shaped Su Wen's thousand-year-old second ring.
Su Wen looked genuinely shocked.
Ning Fengzhi's research on Martial Spirits was indeed thorough.
Apart from the subjective factors and methods during the absorption of the Spirit Ring, he almost guessed how Su Wen managed to endure the process of withstanding the thousand-year-old Spirit Ring.
Of course, Su Wen was able to perceive the Martial Spirit Space and actively infused the Spirit Ring's Soul Power into the Martial Spirit Space, participating in its transformation and alleviating the pressure on the body's meridians. The excess energy indeed had two directions: one was used to open the Sea of Consciousness, and the other was for a better and more thorough evolution of the Martial Spirit.
Considering the characteristics of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Su Wen quickly understood why Ning Fengzhi could have such a profound understanding of Martial Spirit research. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is rich and possesses a comprehensive collection of Martial Spirit information, second only to Spirit Hall. Ning Fengzhi basically has perfect research conditions.
"To be able to bring together these many conditions, it can only be described as luck."
The most challenging aspect to bring together is the Martial Spirit being on the verge of evolution, especially in the Spiritual attribute. This is mainly observable in those Spirit Masters whose Martial Spirits have undergone incomplete mutations. However, most of these Spirit Masters rarely get the opportunity, as even achieving a hundred-year first Spirit Ring is not guaranteed, let alone absorbing a thousand-year-old Spirit Ring.
However, with this mindset, targeted cultivation seems to have some hope.
Ning Fengzhi contemplated the feasibility.
"There's no need to absorb across colors. Even if it extends the limit by a few hundred years, the effects will be quite noticeable."
Ning Fengzhi, with thorough research on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, was confident that this was the most promising path for their Martial Spirit's evolution.
Regardless of the specific Spirit Beast or the number of years, the Spirit Skills of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters are generally fixed for each Spirit Ring.
Then, what's the use of absorbing Spirit Rings with high age limits?
This puzzle has never been solved by any generation of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Masters. Because, under favorable conditions, no one would absorb white in the first ring or yellow in the third ring.
However, speculations on this matter have never stopped. For example, Ning Fengzhi is a strong advocate of increasing the potential theory.
"Alright, Xiaowen, Uncle Ning has learned all he wanted to know today." Ning Fengzhi was satisfied with the information he had gathered today.
The breakthrough during the absorption of the Spirit Ring!
This inspired him.
Yes, perhaps when absorbing a Spirit Ring, I can break through from a different angle. By simultaneously consuming the Spirit Ring's Soul Power during the Martial Spirit's absorption of the Spirit Ring, I can indirectly enhance my endurance!
He couldn't wait to go back and conduct theoretical deductions, even verify within the sect.
"Xiaowen, I have a daughter."
Su Wen blinked, listening as Ning Fengzhi continued.
"She's a bit younger than you, just over nine years old. Her Soul Power has been stuck at level nineteen for quite some time. This time, I brought her along, planning to let her participate in some battles in the Great Spirit Arena, see if it can provide her with some stimulation and lead to a breakthrough."
Seeing through Ning Fengzhi but not exposing him, Su Wen sighed, "Uncle Ning seems to need my help?"
"Yes, Rongrong inherits my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, being an Auxiliary Spirit Master. So, she can't participate in 1v1 battles. It just so happens, Xiaowen, that you specialize in frontal attacks. You could team up with Rongrong for 2v2 battles," Ning Fengzhi said, "I just don't know if you are willing to take her with you."
"Uncle Ning, Rongrong is only at level nineteen. If we fight together, we'll likely be assigned to a team with Spirit Grand Masters," Su Wen reminded.
"I believe in your strength, Xiaowen," Ning Fengzhi smiled.
Su Wen did have some doubts in his mind. 'Is Ning Fengzhi planning to use this opportunity to assess my abilities?'
"Since Uncle Ning trusts me so much, I will definitely protect Rongrong," Su Wen said.
"Rongrong!"
Ning Fengzhi, accompanied by Su Wen, entered a large private room in the Great Spirit Arena. Upon opening the door, Su Wen saw a lively little girl playing with the staff.
"Daddy, you're back!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up as she looked at Su Wen, saying, "Is this the teammate you found for me?"
Approaching Su Wen, she appraised him, looking adorable.
At least for now, she seemed quite cute.
"Xiaowen is older than you, so you should call him Brother Wen," Ning Fengzhi said with a serious expression.
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue, silently repeating in her mind 'Be obedient!' She had promised to follow many conditions this time.
"Hello, Brother Xiaowen,"
