Time passed minute by minute, and the foreheads of the two little ones were already covered in pea-sized beads of sweat, sliding down their cheeks.
Qian Renxue’s eyes were closed tight, and she bit her pale lips hard, struggling to endure.
Qian Renheng’s face was pale and his whole body was trembling, but neither of them made a sound.
“A thousand-year first spirit ring…” Watching his two great-grandchildren absorb their spirit rings in pain, Qian Wushuang’s heart pounded wildly.
He tilted his head slightly, looked up at the sky, and murmured, “Angel God, if you can see this, please bless your children to successfully absorb their spirit rings.”
An hour later.
The violent spirit power within the siblings finally began to calm down, and the spirit rings showed signs of merging.
Sensing that the two had passed the most dangerous stage, the tense nerves of Qian Wushuang and Qian Daoliu finally began to relax.
Two hours later.
A pure holy radiance suddenly erupted from Qian Renxue’s body, shooting straight into the sky.
She was the first to succeed in absorbing the spirit ring, and the beautiful Seraphim Spirit also condensed automatically as she absorbed it.
Beneath her feet, a dazzling purple spirit ring pulsed up and down rhythmically.
Six years old, a one-ring Spirit Master, with a thousand-year first spirit ring!
Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes and let out a long breath of turbid air.
Although it was extremely painful when she first began absorbing the spirit ring, after that period of intense pain, she felt as if she had returned to her mother’s embrace, feeling warm and comfortable all over.
She did not cheer or jump for joy; instead, she immediately retracted her Spirit and spirit ring into her body and sat there quietly.
Because not far from her, her brother was still in the middle of absorbing his spirit ring, with no sign of finishing.
She looked at her brother with a face full of worry, praying in her heart, “Why hasn’t Brother succeeded yet?
Please, let there be no accidents!”
Just then, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred!
*Rip—*
Accompanied by the sound of tearing clothes, the fabric on Qian Renheng’s previously smooth back suddenly burst open.
Immediately following, under the horrified gazes of Qian Wushuang and Qian Daoliu, three pairs of pure gray wings forcefully broke out from Qian Renheng’s back.
These three pairs of wings appeared a deep black, every feather a pure black, yet they were wreathed in gray mist.
“This is…
this is…
an external Spirit Bone!!!”
Qian Wushuang and Qian Daoliu exclaimed almost in unison.
Though both were widely experienced, they now stared with wide eyes, looking at those black six wings in disbelief.
After the shock came wild joy!
They hadn’t expected this hunt to yield such an unexpected surprise.
That was an external Spirit Bone, the most special kind of Spirit Bone, independent of the six major Spirit Bones.
“Great-Grandfather, Grandpa, what’s happening?
Why did black wings suddenly grow out of Brother’s back?”
Qian Renxue was so worried she was almost crying, “Brother won’t turn into a big black bird and fly away, will he?!”
Although she was receiving an elite education, it was clear that at her age, she had not yet reached the lessons concerning Spirit Bones and external Spirit Bones. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
Seeing his dear granddaughter’s cute appearance as she almost cried from worrying about her brother,
Qian Daoliu couldn’t help but laugh heartily, then explained: “Little Xue, don’t worry about your brother.
Not only will he not turn into a bird and fly away, he’s actually struck gold!”
“This is called an external Spirit Bone.
In the Spirit Master’s world, it is the most special and rarest kind of Spirit Bone outside of the six conventional ones!”
Qian Daoliu looked at the black six wings, his eyes full of envy.
“The most special and most incredible thing about this kind of Spirit Bone is that it possesses rare growth potential!”
“It will continuously evolve and become stronger as the Spirit Master’s strength increases!!!”
“The probability of such a Spirit Bone appearing is extremely low.
Its rarity and strategic value are not at all inferior to a 100,000-Year Soul Ring!”
Qian Daoliu remarked with emotion, “I didn’t expect that by absorbing the spirit ring of the Six-Winged Black Crow, Xiao Heng would actually encounter such a heaven-defying opportunity.”
An external Spirit Bone—even Qian Daoliu, whose cultivation had reached the level of a super Douluo, found his mouth watering for it.
Its uniqueness meant it would be coveted by every Titled Douluo; who wouldn’t want a Spirit Bone that could grow?!
While the grandfather and granddaughter were talking, Qian Renheng also completed the final step of absorbing the spirit ring.
*Phew—*
Qian Renheng opened his eyes and let out a long breath, his tense body instantly relaxing.
He slowly stood up, and a dazzling purple spirit ring rose steadily from beneath his feet, pulsing up and down.
As soon as he stood up, he felt a sense of heaviness on his back.
He looked back and saw, shockingly, three pairs of black wings.
“Holy crap?!” Qian Renheng was startled, though he reacted instantly.
“It’s actually an external Spirit Bone?
My luck is seriously awesome!”
He was more than familiar with external Spirit Bones.
This extremely rare type of Spirit Bone with growth attributes had a value no less than that of a 100,000-Year Soul Ring or Spirit Bone.
To call it a specialized cheat wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
After all, conventional Spirit Bones for the six major body parts generally stay at whatever age they were when absorbed, with almost no possibility of improvement.
But external Spirit Bones are different; they evolve as the Spirit Master’s strength grows, becoming more powerful in the later stages.
One could see that from a certain someone’s spider legs.
With a thought, Qian Renheng tried to manipulate the Six-Winged Black Crow wings on his back.
This Spirit Bone was connected to his bloodline and was very obedient.
With just a slight mental retraction, the Six-Winged Black Crow wings turned into specks of black light and sank into his back, disappearing without a trace.
“Hahahaha!
Good!
Excellent!”
Qian Wushuang was so excited his old face turned red, and he laughed towards the sky as if he were the one who had obtained the external Spirit Bone instead of Qian Renheng.
“A six-year-old with a thousand-year first spirit ring, and even obtaining an extremely rare external Spirit Bone…
you two siblings, this starting foundation is likely the strongest in our Spirit Hall for ten thousand years!”
I am very relieved and looking forward to the day you fully grow up!”
The more he looked at the siblings, the more he liked them.
The more he looked, the more he felt that whether Spirit Hall could take another step forward toward its peak depended entirely on these two.
As for Qian Daoliu?
Qian Xunji?
If the hope of Spirit Hall were placed on them, Spirit Hall would probably only see its midday glory, because they were bound to fail sooner or later.
“Xiao Heng’s opportunity is truly significant.
I have only heard of external Spirit Bones, but I have never seen one with my own eyes.”
Qian Wushuang’s eyes scanned the two of them brilliantly, filled with expectation.
“Don’t you two hide it; what kind of Spirit Abilities did the thousand-year first spirit rings grant you?!”
“Xiao Xue, you are the younger sister, you go first.
After absorbing the spirit ring produced by an ancient exotic Spirit Beast like the Radiant Golden Crow, what is the effect of your first Spirit Ability?”
Qian Renxue said clearly, “Great-Grandfather, Grandpa, my first Spirit Ability is called Holy Flame Manipulation.
The effect is to freely manipulate my own spirit power to shape various attack methods at will.”
“Just like this!”
Having said that, Qian Renxue’s mind moved, and the purple spirit ring beneath her feet suddenly lit up.
She stretched out her small, fair hand.
A ball of light, blending the three attributes of sacredness, light, and fire, condensed in her palm.
“Go!”
Qian Renxue gave a light shout and suddenly threw the ball of light in her hand toward a distant open space.
*Boom—*
The ball of light hit the ground, producing an explosion that wasn’t too loud, blasting a hole half a meter in diameter into the ground.
“Uh—”
Seeing this, the expectant expressions on Qian Wushuang and Qian Daoliu’s faces instantly stiffened.
“That shouldn’t be right?!
The Radiant Golden Crow is an ancient exotic Spirit Beast.
How could the thousand-year spirit ring it produced come with such a weak Spirit Ability?” Qian Daoliu frowned.
“This…
this is Xiao Xue’s first Spirit Ability?
It only blasted such a small hole?!”
Qian Wushuang stood there stunned, feeling very surprised and disappointed.
This was a spirit ring produced by the Radiant Golden Crow, which was extremely compatible with the Seraphim Spirit; how could the Spirit Ability be so weak?!
This power was only at the level of a hundred-year spirit ring, wasn’t it?
Could it be that the Radiant Golden Crow’s spirit ring was a dud?
Qian Renxue was also distressed, not knowing how she should explain.
She believed that the Spirit Ability attached to her spirit ring was still very strong; it was just that she was currently too weak.
“Great-Grandfather, Grandpa, don’t be anxious.
Things are far from being that simple; this Spirit Ability isn’t bad at all!”
