Chapter 78: Twenty Thousand Years Old Fourth Spirit Ring
🕑 Added 2024-03-05 13:13:34 +0000 UTCSu Wen activated the Phantom Eye, and his eyes instantly became brilliantly illuminated, exuding a dazzling radiance. Through the myriad of confusing lights, he searched within Ice Crystal Valley.
Three days later.
Boom!
A massive emerald-green serpent sprayed out a large cloud of poisonous gas. The terrifying gas contained formidable toxins and carried intense energy impact within the poison itself.
On the opposite side, a giant Spirit Beast covered in scales like mirrors was sent into a frenzied backward flight by the poisonous gas.
The scales all over the Mirror Image Beast emitted a magnificent glow, rapidly absorbing the toxins on its surface, and its original appearance underwent an instant transformation.
Suddenly, two enormous emerald-green serpents appeared on the scene.
"Hmph, your Spirit Skill's effect can never fully replicate me, let alone match me when there's such a vast difference in our strengths!" Dugu Bo snorted coldly and immediately stepped forward, smashing the other emerald-green serpent.
Roar!
The Mirror Image Beast let out a piercing roar.
However, Dugu Bo was simply too powerful for it. It quickly succumbed, gasping for breath as it lay on the ground, its body oozing blood tainted with blue and emerald-green toxins.
"Xiaowen, it's up to you now." Dugu Bo tightly bound the Mirror Image Beast with his serpent tail, allowing Su Wen to step forward for the finishing blow.
Su Wen had been waiting for this moment. The three solidified Fireballs he had conjured collided with each other along with a wind current, compressing to their maximum limit. They then descended onto the Mirror Image Beast's most significant wound.
Just before the three Fireballs landed, Dugu Bo loosened his restraint on the Mirror Image Beast, transforming into a blur as he moved away.
Simultaneously, he injected a considerable amount of paralyzing toxins into the Mirror Image Beast's body.
Even if the Mirror Image Beast had planned to use its last replication to escape this fatal blow, it was instantly plunged into despair. At the very least, it couldn't escape being killed by Su Wen, a seemingly weaker Spirit Master, in this manner.
It found itself unable to move. The Soul Power throughout its body seemed to have lost control, let alone executing any Spirit Skills.
Boom!
The Fireball exploded.
The already weakened Mirror Image Beast fell on the spot, and a pitch-black Spirit Ring slowly floated up from its body.
The black Spirit Ring seemed to devour all radiance, deep and mysterious.
Su Wen took a deep breath and approached the Mirror Image Beast's corpse, preparing to absorb this Spirit Ring.
A brilliant light instantly rushed into Su Wen's Sea of Consciousness.
After the medicinal effects of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Su Wen's Sea of Consciousness had expanded immensely, resembling a vast lake. The Spiritual Power within had filled a substantial thirty percent.
After this radiant light entered his Sea of Consciousness, an illusory Mirror Image Beast appeared above Su Wen's Sea of Consciousness.
Su Wen's Spiritual essence condensed, and above it manifested scenes of books flipping in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
A gigantic and splendid vertical pupil appeared.
Mirror Image Beast's lingering soul: ???
It felt like the Spirit Master who killed it wasn't as weak as it seemed.
Boom!
The Phantom Eye instantly mobilized the Spiritual Power within Su Wen's Sea of Consciousness for a counterattack against the lingering soul of the Mirror Image Beast.
Simultaneously, the contemplative images above Su Wen's Spiritual essence seemed to come alive, instantly suppressing downward.
Bang!
The lingering soul of the Mirror Image Beast dissipated.
Outside.
Dugu Bo looked at Su Wen, sensing a wave of regretful fluctuations entering Su Wen's mind, causing Su Wen's Spiritual Power to start fluctuating, making him tense.
However, just a moment later, Su Wen's Spiritual Power fluctuations stabilized, leaving Dugu Bo dumbfounded.
"Is the effect of Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew so pronounced?" Dugu Bo murmured.
However, soon Su Wen's face showed signs of pain.
His entire body began to crack.
This diverted Dugu Bo's attention.
Carefully observing and sensing Su Wen's condition, Dugu Bo sighed in relief.
"It's alright, it's alright. It's similar to the state when you absorbed the five-thousand-three-hundred-year Stone Monster last time."
Without the trouble of Soul Shock, the difficulties of leap-level absorption should be a similar reaction.
Although Dugu Bo thought this way, he still cautiously monitored Su Wen's condition.
If anything went wrong, he would do his best to preserve Su Wen's life.
Even if the path of the Spirit Master's cultivation might be compromised, at least Su Wen would still be alive. Su Wen's true potential could theoretically still make a significant contribution.
"How marvelous."
This was the most miraculous experience Su Wen had felt during the absorption of a Spirit Ring.
The transformation from the Spirit Ring essence of the Mirror Image Beast on Su Wen's Martial Spirit was the most profound and thorough.
It permeated every corner of the Martial Spirit.
It wouldn't be accurate to say it was a comprehensive improvement; rather, it was a complete transformation and adaptation, making Su Wen's Martial Spirit more adept at executing the Replication Spirit Skill.
The Paper Release Su Wen had used in the past was, in essence, a form of simulation and alternative 'replication' of external objects.
The Spirit Ring essence of the Mirror Image Beast began the enhancement of Su Wen's Martial Spirit.
Su Wen also mobilized the Source Soul Power and attempted to transfer the Spirit Ring Soul Power from various meridians within his body into the Martial Spirit Space, investing it in the transformation of his Martial Spirit.
Time passed.
This time, Su Wen absorbed for a full ten hours.
The degree of transformation the ten thousand years old Spirit Ring had on the Martial Spirit was indeed substantial, as evident from the extended duration.
As the Spirit Rings were completely absorbed, the pitch-black Spirit Ring fell around Su Wen's existing three Spirit Rings—one yellow, two purple—forming a harmonious interaction among them.
Su Wen opened his eyes.
Dugu Bo was completely reassured.
Following that, an indescribable shock ensued.
A twenty thousand years old Fourth Spirit Ring!
This was incredibly unimaginable.
"Fortunately, you learned Xiao Zhan's unique skill, which can conceal the Martial Spirit and Spirit Rings during battles," Dugu Bo remarked.
With the second ring at a thousand years old level and the fourth ring surpassing the ten thousand years old level, anyone would believe that Su Wen had found a method for a leap-level absorption of a Soul Ring.
Even if you sincerely told them that this was the result of fortuitous circumstances, it would be hard for anyone to believe.
"Since obtaining the Fourth Spirit Ring has gone so smoothly, it's time for us to return," said Dugu Bo.
The acquisition of the fourth Spirit Ring went much smoother than expected, taking only about half a month from start to finish.
It has to be said that the intelligence provided by the White Wolf Spirit Hunting Team played a significant role.
Speaking of the White Wolf Spirit Hunting Team, Dugu Bo snorted.
He had no favorable feelings towards this Spirit Hunting Team.
If he weren't a Titled Douluo, just a Spirit Saint, he might have fallen victim to an ambush by that Spirit Hunting Team during the battle with the Mirror Image Beast.
When his ninth ring appeared, the sneaky rats in the shadows slinked away, thinking that Dugu Bo and Su Wen hadn't noticed, when in fact, they just didn't care.
"Grandpa Dugu, I'm planning to return home and bring Grandpa Jerry to Heaven Dou City," Su Wen said.
Old Jerry was already old, and there wasn't much hope for further cultivation. However, with the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato, things were different.
At the very least, there was no need to worry about the quality of Old Jerry's Martial Spirit.
Su Wen not only has the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato but also possesses other Immortal Grasses that can enhance Soul Power.
In short, Old Jerry breaking through to level thirty or even forty within the next few years is not a problem.
With Su Wen's theory, Old Jerry might even achieve the rank of Spirit King within ten years.
Moreover, becoming a Titled Douluo is not out of the question in his lifetime.
Sweet Potato Douluo!
