Upon learning that Mu Yuan had broken through to level ten and needed to hunt for a spirit ring, Elder Qi Lin was completely dumbfounded.
“What did you say?
It only took you two months to break through from level nine to level ten?”
Elder Qi Lin suspected he had misheard.
Even with innate Soul Power of level nine, breaking through to level ten would take four or five months, and if one’s state of mind was unstable, it could even take more than half a year.
Yet Mu Yuan, a Spirit Master with an arm Spirit and innate level three Soul Power who only reached level nine by relying on pills, had broken through to level ten in a mere two months?
To this, Mu Yuan could only say that his thoughts were clear.
Elder Qi Lin’s expression shifted.
Thinking of the Eight-Armed Demon God concept that Mu Yuan had shared with him two months ago, he felt a surge of excitement.
Over the past two months, he had discussed it with the Sect Master, Du Busi, and the experts of the Sect at or above the Spirit Saint level who possessed arm-related Spirits.
Mu Yuan’s idea was very good.
However, actually realizing it was not that simple.
Simply condensing extra arm phantoms using energy?
That would be completely useless.
For a Body Martial Soul, the Spirit Master’s willpower is crucial to how much the Spirit can be enhanced.
“That’s fine too, clear thoughts…”
Elder Qi Lin let out a long breath.
“It seems your arm Spirit really might be suitable for this path of the Eight-Armed Demon God.”
Since the Spirit itself approved of this path, the possibility of Mu Yuan successfully completing this path had greatly increased.
…
Sunset Forest.
“This first spirit ring of yours won’t be easy to find.
Let’s search in this Sunset Forest first; if we can’t find it, we’ll make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.”
Elder Qi Lin personally took Mu Yuan to travel through the Sunset Forest.
Yes, travel through.
Traveling through a Spirit Beast forest like this, if one’s strength was not sufficient, one would likely encounter accidents.
But Elder Qi Lin had absolute confidence in himself.
Although his Spirit was only a right arm, he had extraordinary luck; for his fifth spirit ring, he had absorbed the spirit ring of a Blood Elder Qi Lin Beast with pure Elder Qi Lin bloodline, and thereby directly achieved a second awakening.
Now, after many years of cultivation, he was already at the seventh ring and possessed a Martial Soul True Body.
He was a genuine Spirit Saint.
One month later.
“Haha, my luck as Elder Qi Lin is as good as ever.”
Elder Qi Lin laughed out loud and dashed out in a few leaps.
He roared, the sleeve of his right arm burst into fragments, his right arm suddenly grew larger, his skin turned blood-red, covered by countless scales, and a ferocious Elder Qi Lin phantom appeared behind him.
Boom!
Without any spirit ring flashing, it was just an unadorned punch.
A Diamond Ape with golden skin and black demonic patterns, caught off guard, was sent flying, breaking dozens of thick trees along the way before falling to the ground, wailing endlessly.
Seeing this, Mu Yuan didn’t know what expression to make.
“Brother Qi, mighty.”
In the end, he could only give a thumbs up.
Stepping forward to examine the condition of this Diamond Ape, Mu Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
“How is it?”
“Just over four hundred years of cultivation; I can absorb it.”
Mu Yuan rolled his eyes.
Before confirming the cultivation age, the other party had just punched it straight away.
One could only call him a brute.
Moreover, the Body Sect still paid great attention to the cultivation of its members and would give them time to study Spirit Beast knowledge, but this guy simply couldn’t distinguish the cultivation age of most Spirit Beasts.
Of course, he did have the ability to make a rough judgment based on Soul Power fluctuations.
“Hehe, look, my luck is fine, the age is just right.”
Mu Yuan didn’t say a word, took out a dagger, and stabbed it fiercely into the wailing ape’s neck.
Soon, it stopped making any sound.
The Diamond Ape possessed Vajra Power and demonic energy, blending them well together.
All of its strength lay in its physical body, and it was adept at attacking with its fists, making it the most suitable for Mu Yuan’s Eight-Armed Demon God system.
Mu Yuan did not think about completing the Eight-Armed Demon God concept with a single spirit ring.
In his understanding, for a Spirit Master’s cultivation, each spirit ring was like a puzzle piece; using the spirit ring to piece together his concept of his Spirit bit by bit was the true essence of a Spirit Master’s cultivation.
Of course, this was the most idealized process.
And the Body Martial Soul happened to be able to make this idealized process as achievable as possible.
Because the Spirit was himself, his own willpower could influence to the greatest extent what the spirit ring could bring to him.
Especially the second awakening, which gave the Spirit Master an opportunity to integrate the early puzzle pieces.
Looking at the bright yellow spirit ring, Mu Yuan didn’t hesitate at all, directly guiding it with his Soul Power and placing it on himself.
Violent Soul Power flooded his meridians.
Mu Yuan’s expression remained normal.
After the baptism of the mystic water pill, his meridians were already very tough.
At this moment, in his mental World, a phantom of a Diamond Ape roared at the sky.
And he himself seemed to gradually transform into this Diamond Ape, constantly vibrating his arms.
His left hand turned into a palm, pushing out with the force of Vajra Power like a landslide, while his right hand formed a fist, demonic energy condensing into a fist shadow, as if shattering the void.
In the mental World, everything was exaggerated, but Mu Yuan was immersed in it, as if he had truly become the Diamond Ape, controlling the Vajra Power and demonic energy, with the two powers of black and gold being blended together by him.
Between the switching of fist and palm, the black and golden powers were already fused together.
His mind palpitated, and Mu Yuan woke up suddenly.
At this moment, the phantom of the Diamond Ape was gone from his mental World, leaving only himself.
His arms glowed, with golden and black energies flowing inside.
Mu Yuan vibrated his arms.
“With this first spirit ring, I have mastered these two powers, the Spirit Ability…”
Experiencing the mystery of his first Spirit Ability, Mu Yuan gradually became obsessed with it.
One hour later.
In the real World, slowly opening his eyes, a sharp light flashed in Mu Yuan’s eyes.
“How is it?”
Elder Qi Lin noticed Mu Yuan waking up immediately and asked expectantly.
Mu Yuan nodded, unconsciously revealing a smile.
“The first Spirit Ability, Vajra Demon Body.
During the activation of the Spirit Ability, my physique increases by 100%, and my strength and defense increase by an additional 100%.
At the same time, my Soul Power transforms into Vajra Demonic Power, which can be used for both offense and defense.
For offense, it can condense fist shadows and energy forms; for defense, it can turn into an energy barrier, or even merge into my body to reduce the damage I receive.”
As Mu Yuan finished speaking about the effects of this Spirit Ability, Elder Qi Lin also nodded slowly.
“Acceptable.”
For a Beast Spirit, a 100% boost, especially at the first spirit ring position, was naturally exaggerated.
But for a Body Martial Soul, 100% was actually quite normal.
The human body is too fragile, the foundation is too weak, so the magnitude of growth is stronger.
Especially at the moment of absorbing a spirit ring, the body is weak, and the Spirit Beast that provides the spirit ring to the body is powerful, so this kind of boost exceeding 100% is understandable.
Spirit abilities that boost by percentage have a very high cost-performance ratio and can still be used even in the later stages, but because the spirit ring age is low and the conversion mechanism is slightly lagging, the Soul Power consumption will be much higher than a ten-thousand-year spirit ring with the same boost.
Mu Yuan’s Spirit Ability not only reaches a 100% boost but also has derivative effects.
Mastering Vajra Demonic Power, which can be additionally used for offense and defense, means the boost to these two attributes is more than doubled.
The corners of Elder Qi Lin’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up.
They were all family in the Body Sect, and Mu Yuan was brought into the Sect by him personally and watched as he cultivated to this point.
Knowing that Mu Yuan’s first Spirit Ability was so excellent, it was impossible for Elder Qi Lin not to be happy.
“Let’s go, let’s tell the Sect Master and the others this good news!”
