Mu Yuan stood where he was, waiting for Du Busi to feed him.
He felt no shame in this.
In the cultivation of a Spirit Master, this was normal.
To be honest, if you could defeat a Spirit Beast on your own, then the spirit ring from that Spirit Beast would be useless.
Cultivation for a Spirit Master is about breaking limits step by step, not about maintaining the status quo.
Generally, a level 10 Spirit Scholar cannot kill a century-level Spirit Beast, but if he wants to become a powerhouse in the future, he must equip his first spirit ring with a century-level one.
Similarly, a level 20 Spirit Master cannot single-handedly kill a 400 to 600-year-old Spirit Beast, yet they must do their best to obtain a spirit ring of that cultivation level.
A level 30 Spirit Grandmaster cannot contend with a millennium-level Spirit Beast…
This is a cruel fact; on the Douluo Continent, if one wants to become a top-tier powerhouse, it is truly difficult to proceed without the support of strong individuals.
If one takes a master, and the other party is not even useful for helping you hunt Spirits, then it is truly equivalent to apprenticing in vain.
Moreover, Mu Yuan’s target this time was a Golden Arm Ape over five thousand years old.
Although his second spirit ring had been a millennium-level Deep Sea Demon Octopus absorbed above his level, and he had also obtained the external Spirit Bone ‘Heavenly Thunder Six Orifices’, he still dared not claim he could defeat a top-tier five-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast like the Golden Arm Ape.
If it were an ordinary five-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast, he might have been able to try.
While he was thinking, Du Busi had already finished the battle.
“Sect Master, your strikes are truly fast.” Mu Yuan exclaimed, having already raised his Soul Power and quickly stepped forward.
The Golden Giant Ape bloodline provided this Long-armed Ape with abundant vitality, allowing its injuries to heal in the blink of an eye.
However, Du Busi had just punched its chest, causing it to collapse.
He then reached out with his hand formed into a claw and ripped out its heart.
Even so, the Golden Arm Ape was still alive and struggling frantically.
Its heart was beating with a thud, and the golden blood flowed through its veins, healing its injuries in an instant.
Mu Yuan clicked his tongue in secret.
Without hesitation, he took out a level 4 spirit tool dagger, injected his Soul Power, and a sharp edge erupted from the tip of the dagger, which he then fiercely stabbed into the heart that had been dyed gold by the golden blood.
Bang!
The heart burst, and the Golden Giant Ape roared in pain.
With Du Busi’s control, it did not harm Mu Yuan.
Yet, its struggling continued for a full three minutes.
“What astonishing vitality.” Mu Yuan exclaimed.
Du Busi was also secretly shocked.
He cast an envious gaze at Mu Yuan.
If he could have obtained such a spirit ring back then, he reckoned his strength would have reached an even higher level.
“With this spirit ring, even if you don’t get an explosive Spirit Ability, you won’t lose out at all just by obtaining this vitality.
I estimate that even when you reach Titled Douluo and trigger your Gold-level Second Awakening, the damage to your origin could be slightly reduced.”
Du Busi did not doubt Mu Yuan’s secondary awakening level in his words.
As it stands, the Gold-level is certain.
Of course, the Gold-level Second Awakening can only be re-upgraded at level 90 under the secret techniques of the Body Sect.
In a normal secondary awakening, the highest level is the Silver-level.
An arm Spirit is not incapable of a Silver-level Secondary Awakening.
In the Body Sect, there are already similar examples.
It is just that they cannot achieve a Gold-level Second Awakening later on.
But Mu Yuan is different.
Du Busi has an inexplicable confidence in him.
The path he is walking is very strong, and his luck is heaven-defying; his first three spirit rings have successively been the most suitable ones for his needs.
While Du Busi was thinking, the Golden Giant Ape had already died.
A dazzling purple ring slowly solidified.
Mu Yuan used his Soul Power to guide the spirit ring, which landed outside his body.
Surging Soul Power entered his body.
Mu Yuan only felt his meridians being swept by a golden torrent; in just the blink of an eye, wisps of golden light points appeared in the places that had been washed over by the golden torrent.
Thump, thump, thump!
His heart beat violently.
His own blood flowed frantically within his body, as if a large amount of blood was being replenished.
…
“This surging vitality…” Feeling the surging life force within Mu Yuan’s body, Du Busi showed an expression of amazement.
“At least it’s not a loss.”
Even if this spirit ring’s Spirit Ability doesn’t have an explosive effect, he can just wait to supplement one with his fourth spirit ring.
By then, it will be a millennium-level Spirit Ability, solving the issue once and for all.
Mu Yuan’s expression was slightly pained; the impact within his body made him uncomfortable.
He felt as if the blood throughout his entire body had been replaced.
This kind of torment is difficult to describe in words.
Five hours later.
Slowly opening his eyes, Mu Yuan’s eyes were full of exhaustion; there was absolutely none of the spirited look one should have after absorbing a spirit ring.
“How is your third Spirit Ability?” Du Busi asked.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuan closed his eyes to sense the information about his Spirit Ability.
Opening his eyes, he revealed a smile.
“The third Spirit Ability, Plucking Stars and Grabbing the Moon.”
“Plucking Stars and Grabbing the Moon?” Du Busi’s expression changed slightly.
After the surprise came delight.
“This Long-armed Ape actually possesses a spatial attribute!”
His battle just now was too fast; this Long-armed Ape had no power to resist at all and was directly suppressed by him.
It didn’t even manage a decent counterattack before dying, so he hadn’t experienced the opponent’s spatial attribute Spirit Ability.
Among the Long-armed Ape race, a small number of rare individuals can awaken a spatial attribute, and Plucking Stars and Grabbing the Moon is their signature Spirit Ability.
It is said that when this Spirit Ability is cultivated to the extreme, not to mention plucking actual stars and the moon, it can at least move mountains and fill seas.
“Plucking Stars and Grabbing the Moon is also an explosive Spirit Ability in itself.
If you don’t use its spatial power, it is a purely explosive Spirit Ability.
If you use the spatial attribute, it can even allow the explosive power to penetrate space and injure people from a distance.”
Mu Yuan was very satisfied with this Spirit Ability.
“Actually, the greatest benefit this spirit ring brought me is not this Spirit Ability.”
Mu Yuan had to admit that Du Busi was right; even if he hadn’t obtained an explosive Spirit Ability, he wouldn’t have lost out just by gaining the Golden Giant Ape’s surging vitality.
Now, experiencing the changes in himself, he knew this wasn’t just ‘not a loss’, but a huge gain!
“Even the passive modification from the spirit ring has given me surging life force.”
“Most importantly, with this massive vitality supporting me, the Blood Qi Power within my body has also become restless.”
Through the crimson spirit bone, Mu Yuan even had the illusion of controlling the circulation of his Blood Qi Power.
It wasn’t about using a Spirit Ability through the Spirit Bone anymore.
This time, he truly had a sense of insight into the circulation of his own Blood Qi Power.
He even had an urge to follow the flow of his Blood Qi Power, and then in one go, condense all the Blood Qi Power in his body into a tangible force!
“Blood Qi Power!” Mu Yuan told Du Busi about his feelings.
Upon hearing this, Du Busi exclaimed: “Blood Qi Power?
I didn’t expect that your arm Spirit could actually touch upon this kind of power, and while still at the third ring.”
“Since you have this urge, you should try to condense this power.
However, don’t be in a rush.
When we return to Heaven Dou City, I will prepare some medicinal baths for you according to the secret techniques passed down in the Sect, and then you can make the breakthrough.”
Du Busi did not let Mu Yuan try rashly.
However, he was quite supportive of condensing the Blood Qi Power.
…
Heaven Dou City.
Upon returning to the manor, Du Busi informed the Elders of the harvest from this Spirit hunt.
Upon learning that Mu Yuan was going to condense his Blood Qi Power, the Elders excitedly began preparations.
Various rare herbs were gathered by them.
In the courtyard of the manor, a huge medicinal furnace was prepared specifically to decoct these herbs.
