“System, help me simplify the pain of absorbing a spirit ring.”
Bei Chen had no choice but to use one of his system’s simplification opportunities. He was very much looking forward to seeing to what extent the system could simplify the pain of the spirit ring.
“Host consumed one simplification opportunity. Beginning simplification…”
“Pain of absorbing a thousand-year spirit ring → Pain of absorbing a hundred-year spirit ring → Pain of absorbing a ten-year spirit ring → Itchiness.”
“Simplification complete!”
Hearing the final simplified result from the system, Bei Chen’s expression was stunned. He hadn’t expected the system to be as powerful as ever.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the originally excruciating spirit power impact instantly vanished.
An unknown force compelled the chaotic spirit power to slowly circulate throughout Bei Chen’s body, helping him increase his spirit power level and enhance his physical strength.
Yet, on the surface of Bei Chen’s body, he only felt some itchiness. This pain was negligible to him.
“Hmm? What’s going on?”
Sword Douluo’s attention was mostly focused on Bei Chen, and he suddenly noticed that Bei Chen’s physical condition had improved significantly.
His body, which had been trembling from pain, had now completely recovered.
It was as if absorbing this spirit ring was as simple as eating and drinking for him.
But Sword Douluo still couldn't understand what situation had caused Bei Chen to be in such a state.
“Boom!”
Could it be that the thousand-year spirit ring was merely a color illusion of a hundred-year spirit ring? He immediately released a wisp of spirit power from his right hand to carefully investigate the thousand-year spirit ring on Bei Chen’s Spirit.
At the same time, he continued to examine the phenomena within Bei Chen’s body caused by absorbing the spirit ring.
What happened next astonished him: the spirit ring Bei Chen was absorbing indeed had a lifespan of over three thousand years.
However, the scene within Bei Chen’s body at this moment left him perplexed.
The originally violent and chaotic spirit power was now calmly circulating throughout Bei Chen’s body, guided by an unknown energy.
It was as if this spirit power had met its master.
These successive occurrences left Sword Douluo stunned for a long time, unable to recover.
He could only attribute all these changes to the divine Spirit Bei Chen possessed.
Even so, the changes in Bei Chen still surprised him endlessly.
“Sigh!”
At this point, Sword Douluo shifted most of his attention to Bei Chen.
Because Bei Chen’s thousand-year spirit ring absorption was nearing its end, and Bei Chen’s condition was much better than before, there was no need to worry too much.
However, Sword Douluo still dared not relax his vigilance. If the previous unexpected situation were to occur again, it would be disastrous.
Bei Chen was the treasure of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and no mishaps could be allowed.
As for the various doubts in his heart, he would have to wait until Bei Chen finished absorbing his first spirit ring before continuing to ask.
“Hmm!”
Bei Chen, who was absorbing the spirit ring, appeared incredibly relaxed on the surface, enjoying the extremely rich Life Force irrigation, and couldn’t help but let out a joyful sound.
Life Force is one of the gentlest forces in the world.
It can not only cleanse internal impurities but even purify one’s soul.
Bathed in this Life Force, Bei Chen was reluctant to withdraw from this state.
However, his own spirit ring had been completely absorbed, and there was no need to continue wasting time.
“Rumble rumble!”
In an instant, Bei Chen completely absorbed the surrounding Life Force into his body, and a spirit power fluctuation even stronger than before erupted within him.
The purple thousand-year spirit ring on the Life Ancient Tree shone brightly, then suddenly contracted, firmly wrapping around Bei Chen’s Spirit, pulsating continuously and emitting an extraordinary aura.
“Whoosh!”
Having finished absorbing the spirit ring, Bei Chen suddenly opened his brilliant eyes, and terrifying green light emanated from his pupils.
A mysterious aura surged around him. Under the illumination of Life Force, Bei Chen seemed like a Son of Life, healing all things.
Seeing Bei Chen finish absorbing the spirit ring, Sword Douluo felt relieved. His Seven Kill Sword was permeated with astonishing sword energy, isolating the surrounding Spirit Beasts.
Sword Douluo quickly came to Bei Chen’s side and said with a worried tone, “Xiao Chen, how are you? Is your body alright?”
“It was my fault for not carefully investigating the true Spirit Beast lifespan of the Life Sacred Lotus, putting you in danger. If something had happened to you because of this, I would never forgive myself.”
Sword Douluo once again carefully examined the internal state of Bei Chen’s body with his spirit power.
He found that Bei Chen’s internal condition was unprecedentedly good, with no irreversible damage caused by absorbing a spirit ring beyond his level.
With this thought, Sword Douluo’s hanging heart finally settled.
At the same time, he looked at the thousand-year spirit ring on Bei Chen with full of admiration. He hadn’t expected Bei Chen’s first spirit ring to reach the three-thousand-year level.
This was the spirit ring lifespan that ordinary Spirit Masters could only absorb for their fourth spirit ring.
Bei Chen truly lived up to his reputation as a genius with a divine Spirit.
“Grandpa Sword, aren’t I fine? You don’t have to worry.”
Bei Chen felt extremely embarrassed hearing Sword Douluo’s self-reproach.
After all, he had already known the true lifespan of this Life Sacred Lotus.
To get Sword Douluo to agree to him absorbing the next two spirit rings, he had no choice but to resort to this tactic.
“By the way, Grandpa Sword, I discovered a crucial issue. When I absorbed this spirit ring, I didn’t feel any pain. My body felt like it was just itching.”
A cryptic look flashed in Bei Chen’s eyes. He feigned confusion and looked up at Sword Douluo, asking with a bewildered expression.
“You didn’t feel any pain? How is that possible?”
Sword Douluo, who had originally been relaxed, was shocked again when he heard Bei Chen’s subsequent words.
How could this be!
Even an ordinary Spirit Master would feel some pain when absorbing a hundred-year spirit ring, yet Bei Chen said he felt no pain at all, once again astonishing Sword Douluo.
He had personally witnessed Bei Chen absorbing a thousand-year-level spirit ring, yet he seemed to feel no pain whatsoever.
Could this be the discovery Bei Chen mentioned?
However, Sword Douluo had no explanation for this doubt.
He had never heard of any Spirit Master experiencing such a situation, so he immediately attributed the answer to Bei Chen’s Life Ancient Tree Spirit.
As far as he knew, the only divine Spirit on the entire continent was the Seraphim Spirit of the Qian family, which was an attack system Spirit.
As for a divine support system Spirit, he had never heard of it.
Therefore, this should be the special characteristic of Bei Chen’s divine Spirit. A moment later, Sword Douluo’s face became ecstatic.
If it was truly as Bei Chen said, that he felt no pain when absorbing spirit rings of any lifespan.
Then wouldn’t that mean Bei Chen could completely withstand higher-level spirit ring lifespans?
At that time, Bei Chen’s Life Ancient Tree Spirit would unleash even greater power, and its healing effect would be stronger.
Thinking of this, the shock on Sword Douluo’s face was hard to conceal, and he quickly calmed his excited mood.
Any conjecture requires practical proof. All answers will be revealed when Bei Chen absorbs his second spirit ring.
