Grandmaster Yu considered himself the continent’s foremost theoretical Grandmaster.
Yet, bringing his disciple out to hunt for a spirit ring for the first time, only for it to turn out so miserably—where could he put his face?
Letting Tang San absorb this Century-old Spirit Ring that was just over a hundred years old—wasn’t that, in a way, a “submission test” that Grandmaster Yu was conducting on him?
“Little San!”
Yu Xiaogang suddenly raised his voice, his tone inevitably carrying a hint of a lecture.
“I taught you from the very beginning that the age of a spirit ring is merely superficial; the most core element is that it must be suitable for the Spirit Master’s Spirit!
“What, do you dare to doubt your teacher’s words now?”
Seeing Yu Xiaogang speak so righteously, the trace of doubt that had just arisen in Tang San’s heart was instantly crushed by a strong sense of guilt.
He was truly damned!
His teacher had even lost an arm for his sake, having just crawled back from the gates of hell, and yet his mind was entirely occupied with how to plan the most perfect future for him.
And he actually dared to doubt a mentor who would give his life for his disciple?!
What his teacher said was absolutely correct!
Having completed his logical loop and deep self-PUA, Tang San’s gaze became incomparably firm once more.
He hesitated no longer, sitting cross-legged directly in front of that pale yellow Tyrant Flower spirit ring, closing his eyes, and wholeheartedly guiding it onto himself, beginning to absorb his perfectly compatible first spirit ring.
‘What is going on?’
‘Didn’t teacher say that absorbing a spirit ring is like passing through the gates of hell, accompanied by heart-wrenching pain?’
Tang San frowned slightly, his heart filled with confusion.
Because as soon as the energy from this Tyrant Flower spirit ring entered his body, it was like a docile sheep seeing its master, sliding into his Meridians without any obstruction.
Except for the faint, slight swelling pain he felt at the very beginning, it was immediately smoothed over by a gentle force from deep within his body; the entire process was simply incomparably smooth.
Ecstasy instantly filled Tang San’s heart!
Although he only had a rudimentary understanding of the Spirit Master system in this life, relying on his experience from his past life Cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he was very clear on one common principle.
The easier it is to refine external energy, excluding the possibility that the energy itself is too trashy, then only one truth remains.
This energy was simply a match made in heaven for him!
At this thought, Tang San was so excited that his fingertips were trembling, feeling that he was one big step closer to embarking on the path of a true powerhouse!
Before long, a slightly dull-colored yellow ring of light slowly emerged from beneath his feet.
“Teacher, I feel terrifyingly strong right now!”
Tang San opened his eyes abruptly, his gaze like a torch.
At the very moment the spirit ring settled into place, he clearly felt the invisible Bottleneck that had troubled him for so long shatter with a boom!
The Mysterious Heaven Skill he had been longing for had finally taken advantage of the momentum to Breakthrough its current Bottleneck, reaching the next level!
“Hmm, Little San, show me your Spirit Ability.”
Yu Xiaogang kept one hand behind his back, his tone light and breezy, but in reality, he was panicking on the inside.
Tang San’s identity wasn’t hard to guess; with the existence of his second Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, it meant that Tang San was inevitably a member of the Clear Sky Sect’s Bloodline, lost to the outside World.
That group of Tang Clan members protected their own to the bone.
If he had really let Tang San absorb a ten-year spirit ring just now, he didn’t know what kind of retaliation he would suffer in the future.
This Century-old Spirit Ring now was just right.
As for Tang San proving his invincible theory, it would be fine to start when he reached level 20.
In short, everything was within a controllable range.
Hearing Grandmaster Yu’s instruction, Tang San nodded happily.
The sense of enlightenment after the Breakthrough made him eager to see what kind of Heaven-Defying divine skill he had obtained.
The pale yellow spirit ring at his feet flashed slightly, Tang San sank his waist into a horse stance and shouted in a low voice: “First Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Entanglement!”
He saw the Blue Silver Grass in his palm suddenly grow a few inches, like a limp noodle, accompanied by a foul stench, and it flopped weakly around the tree trunk in front of him a few times.
A breeze blew past.
And then…
there was no then.
Yu Xiaogang: “…”
No, that’s it?!
Grandmaster Yu only felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
The Datura Snake spirit ring he had previously intended to hunt for Tang San would at least have increased the toughness of his Blue Silver Grass, and besides that, it could have added a trace of toxin, allowing Tang San to easily paralyze his opponents.
But now, although his spirit power was only a mere level 29, he could still tell that Tang San’s first Spirit Ability seemed to be ruined…
The power of this Binding and the toxin attached to it…
seemed…
Ruined, this first Spirit Ability was completely and utterly ruined!
‘No!
I am the number one theorist, I must spin this back around!’
Grandmaster Yu’s brain was spinning frantically, almost sparking.
Finally, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he found a suitable entry point.
“Little San, not bad!
Very not bad!”
Yu Xiaogang forced a gratified smile, “It seems your Blue Silver Grass has acquired excellent form control ability.
In the future, under my guidance, you will inevitably become a control system Spirit Master who can control the entire battlefield!”
“You must know that in any Spirit Master team, the control system is the absolute core and brain!
I hope that from now on, you will learn how to be a good leader.”
Speaking of this, Gangzi paused, then changed the subject: “Of course, your Blue Silver Grass is indeed lacking in toughness for the moment, but in my view, that is simply not a problem.
As long as you follow my exclusive theory to absorb the corresponding spirit rings in the future, this shortcoming can be easily made up for.”
Listening to his teacher’s long-winded lecture, Tang San did not immediately agree; instead, a trace of imperceptible suspicion flashed in his eyes.
In his past life, he was at least a Genius of the Tang Sect’s outer sect; even if he hadn’t fully grasped the Spirit Master system in this life, he could still intuitively feel that this first Spirit Ability seemed just a tiny, tiny bit weak, right?
Catching that fleeting distrust in his beloved disciple’s eyes, Yu Xiaogang’s heart skipped a beat.
Not trusting me?
My theory is invincible in the World!
Grandmaster Yu suddenly straightened his back and asserted confidently,
“Little San, you don’t need to doubt!
Being able to make the trash Spirit, Blue Silver Grass, produce a practical combat form change is already a miracle in itself!”
“I will put it this way today: your first Spirit Ability is absolutely invincible among those of the same rank!”
“As long as an opponent is caught by your Blue Silver Grass, wanting to break free easily is simply a fantasy!”
Seeing his teacher speak so confidently, the look of suspicion in Tang San’s eyes also quickly disappeared.
After all, he had only been in this World for a mere six years.
And he had only been in contact with Spirit Master theory for such a short amount of time.
Naturally, he didn’t know as much as his teacher, the continent’s number one wise man.
“Teacher, I understand!”
Tang San said thoughtfully.
