After leaving the Royal Academy, Tianlin didn't take Gu Ran back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Instead, he headed towards the Sunset Forest, arriving at the forest entrance a few days later.
"Boss, didn't you tell Teacher Qin Ming that we were going back to the sect? Why are we here?" Gu Ran asked, puzzled.
"Idiot, that was just an excuse. I'm going to take you to hunt Soul Beasts now to get your Fifth Spirit Ring. Although you haven't reached the ideal level of forty-nine, forty-eight is enough. As long as you have another Spirit Ring with a high enough age, it should help you stabilize your Soul Power."
Tianlin's explanation left Gu Ran confused. He was only at level forty-eight, how could he hunt the so-called Fifth Spirit Ring?
At this moment, Tianlin fully revealed the biggest secret of his Fifth Spirit Ability, Illusory Water Shocking Thunder, to Gu Ran. He was the first of the younger generation in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, besides Ning Rongrong, to learn this secret.
This also represented Tianlin's trust in him.
"Boss, your Fifth Spirit Ability is a bit too perverted, isn't it? If that's the case, does it mean that as long as I cultivate in the future, there will basically be no such thing as a bottleneck? You can easily help me cross it?" Gu Ran asked, surprised and delighted.
"Of course, but you have to keep this secret. Don't leak it out. Apart from our own family, it's not time for outsiders to know yet, including Tian Heng and the others," Tianlin warned. "When you get back to Royal Fight, just put the blame on Grandpa Bone. You both have bone-type Spirits, so it's not impossible for him to have some special secret method to help you complete the breakthrough. Even if someone wants to find out the secret, Grandpa Bone is not easy to mess with."
"Got it, Boss." Gu Ran also knew the importance of this matter. Once it was leaked, it could very likely bring a fatal disaster to Tianlin.
Tianlin nodded. "Alright, then think about what kind of Fifth Spirit Ring you want. I suggest the age should be around eight to nine thousand years. At that time, I will use Illusory Water Shocking Thunder to forcibly increase their age to exceed your limit. This way, the absorbed Spirit Ring will not only have undiminished power, but it will also be safer to absorb."
"My path has already been set by Master, just like him, the attack is strange, and the defense is amazing."
"Since taking the Ironclad Peony that Boss gave me, and obtaining the Death Tyrant Dragon's Torso Bone, my defense is already not inferior to the Shi Mo Shi Mo brothers, but my attack moves are too frontal. Therefore, I want a Fifth Spirit Ability with a strange attack," Gu Ran stated.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hiding in Tianlin's Sea of Spirit couldn't help but say, "Ho ho, Xiao Tian, your little brother has quite a few ideas. Spirit Rings with strange attacks are not so easy to find."
"Then Tianmeng Ice Silkworm Bro, do you have any suggestions?" Tianlin asked.
"Let Bro think about it. Your little brother's Spirit is the Skeleton Warhorse of the power and death type, right? Since it has the attribute of death, it will be easier to handle. The Demon Spirit, one of the Ten Ferocious Beasts, is a very suitable Soul Beast, and it is known for its strange attacks among the Ferocious Beasts."
"Tianmeng Ice Silkworm Bro, are you kidding me? We are no match for the Demon Spirit now. Even if we can beat it, Gu Ran can't absorb its Spirit Ring," Tianlin said speechlessly. The Soul Beast that this Tianmeng Ice Silkworm found was too unreliable. Unless the Demon Suppression Sword was in his hand, he might be able to try to fight the Demon Spirit.
"Idiot, your talent is really all focused on cultivation. If you can't beat the Demon Spirit, can't you beat a guy of the same type with a lower age?"
Tianlin was despised by this big meat worm again, but it was right. If he couldn't beat the Demon Spirit, it would be fine to beat one of the same type. At this time, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm continued, "Remember Xiao Tian, if a Spirit with the attribute of death wants to pursue strange Spirit Abilities, then there are only two paths. One is skills related to ghosts, and the other is curses."
"Ghosts, curses, is it?" Tianlin touched his chin thoughtfully. He seemed to have seen relevant information. In the Soul Beast illustrated book sent by Qian Renxue, there was a kind of horse-type Soul Beast called the Netherworld Spirit Horse, with the attribute of darkness, but because the Demon Sword didn't need this attribute, he didn't look at it in detail.
However, it is said that the Netherworld Spirit Horse likes to eat the spirits of evil ghosts. The evil ghosts eaten by it will not be digested, but hidden in its belly. When fighting, it can release all these evil ghosts to bite the enemy, and the attack is strange, which can put people to death.
This sounds a bit like the skills of the evil Soul Masters of later generations, but most of the Spirit Abilities with the attribute of death are like this. It doesn't mean that as long as it has this attribute, it is an evil Soul Master. Otherwise, Gu Rong would have been denounced long ago.
The age of the Netherworld Spirit Horse is determined by the maximum number of evil spirits stored in its body. The more souls, the higher its age.
After making up his mind, Tianlin took Gu Ran towards the forest. The Netherworld Spirit Horse would not appear during the day, so the two could only wait until night.
"Boss, the horse you mentioned is elusive and has no specific gathering point. How should we find it?" Gu Ran looked at Tianlin, who was leaning against a big tree with a calm face, and asked.
"Don't worry, I thought of a way. If we can't find it, we can just lure it out," Tianlin smiled. "Come, Gu Ran, use your Death Aura on me."
"What, Boss, you must be kidding me. My Death Aura will beat you until your soul is separated from your body." Gu Ran didn't dare to do it. If he harmed Tianlin here, he would die ten thousand times and it would be difficult to atone for his sin.
"Don't hesitate, this is the only way. Since this Netherworld Spirit Horse likes to eat souls, then with my soul strength, it will definitely be able to have a full meal. Don't worry, as long as it appears, I will return to my body in time and there will be no problem. Hurry up and make a move," Tianlin ordered seriously.
Looking at Tianlin, who was determined, Gu Ran didn't dare to disobey. "Then Boss, you must be careful, I'm going to make a move."
Gu Ran's Skeleton Warhorse possessed him, his mouth opened, and a strong black aura began to condense, "Third Spirit Ability, Death Aura!"
The Death Aura hit Tianlin, who didn't resist at all. Instantly, Tianlin's soul was knocked out of his body.
"Very good, it's now!" Tianlin spread his soul power outwards.
For the Netherworld Spirit Horse, this was as attractive as barbecued food to a carnivorous Soul Beast.
"Neigh!" "Roar!"
Before long, a neigh and a dragon's roar suddenly came from within the forest, accompanied by the sound of galloping hooves and the vibration of some huge creature moving.
"It seems more than just the Netherworld Spirit Horse is coming. Is my soul so fragrant that it's attracting other things?" Tianlin quickly returned his soul to his body and said, "Gu Ran, be ready to fight. Given our current location, the Soul Beasts gathered here are most likely between five thousand and fifteen thousand years old. We can't be careless."
