Chapter 229: Can I See Your Spirit Ring
"This... is this the original power of the Black Obsidian Bow?"
Staring at the massive green path carved into the landscape, Bone Douluo Gu Rong swallowed hard and muttered in disbelief.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin was equally stunned.
"The power of that arrow... it's no weaker than one of my full-strength attacks."
At that moment, Ning Fengzhi felt like his heart was bleeding. If he had known the so-called Black Obsidian Bow was such a divine weapon, he would never have let Mo Hui take it.
For someone like Mo Hui, already a peak Titled Douluo, the bow was merely an additional means of attack—boosting his combat ability slightly. But for Ning Fengzhi, who lacked any true offensive means, this was no ordinary weapon. It was a lifesaving tool, a game-changer, and a way to protect himself in battle.
Even if he couldn't draw out as much power as Mo Hui, even a tenth of this strength would've been enough to change Ning Fengzhi's fate as a support-type Spirit Master.
However, this regret lasted only a moment.
Qing Xiao had just informed Ning Fengzhi: after Mo Hui entered the treasure vault, the bow had begun reacting, eventually transforming once it was in his hands.
Clearly, the divine artifact had chosen Mo Hui.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had held this item for nearly a hundred years and never uncovered its true form. In fact, they'd even added the bowstring themselves—what a joke.
If Mo Hui hadn't appeared, they might never have uncovered the truth in their lifetimes.
That alone proved it: in Mo Hui's hands, the Wind God Bow was a divine artifact. In theirs, it was just an old weapon with high physical requirements.

After firing the arrow, Mo Hui frowned slightly.
"Something's off—the power is lacking."
Even though that shot rivaled the full-force strike of a level-97 Titled Douluo and had an incredible attack range rare on the Douluo Continent, to Mo Hui, it didn't live up to the title of divine artifact.
Compared to the complete version of the Seagod Trident, this Wind God Bow had too little amplification effect.
"Could it be, like the Seagod Trident, that it's incomplete? Maybe it's missing a matching bowstring—or specific arrows that unlock its true potential?"
Mo Hui pondered quietly and began closely inspecting the Wind God Bow.
After a careful look, he found several small scratches hidden in the intricate carvings of the bow.
These subtle defects disrupted the energy flow through the bow, causing excessive soul power consumption. Worse yet, the incomplete patterns reduced the bow's resonance with wind elements, greatly limiting its divine amplification.
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed in Mo Hui's mind—the voice of the Wind God.
> "Seventh Trial of the Wind God: Recover the Lost Artifacts.
The Temple of the Wind God once housed three sacred items:
– Wind God Bow
– Extreme Wind Arrow
– Wind-Fixing Bead
Due to a past incident, the three artifacts were lost. You must find them and restore their power.
Trial Reward: Wind God Affinity +15%, and all of Pidgeot's spirit rings will gain +5,000 years."
"Three artifacts? And five thousand years added to Pidgeot's rings?"
Mo Hui rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
He had known that the Wind Temple once possessed multiple artifacts. The Wind God Bow was clearly for offense. The Wind-Fixing Bead was likely for defense. And the Extreme Wind Arrow must have been the Bow's true companion—perhaps only with it could the bow unleash its full divine might.

"Mo Hui... Mo Hui!"
Ning Fengzhi's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Mo Hui blinked, snapped out of it, and turned to Ning Fengzhi.
"Apologies, Sect Master Ning. I suddenly remembered something important. I must take my leave."
"So soon?"
Ning Fengzhi and the others were visibly surprised.
Mo Hui nodded.
"Yes, but before I go, I'd like to ask the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for a favor."
With that, Mo Hui pulled out several rare soul beast materials from his soul guide.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin took one look and immediately froze.
"These... are from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"
He darted forward, grabbed a material, and closely examined it. His expression changed dramatically.
"What?! Hundred-thousand-year soul beast materials?"
Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi also rushed over, astonished.
Ning Fengzhi stared at a sea dragon horn in Chen Xin's hand and the other rare materials scattered across the floor.
"Mo Hui... these are really hundred-thousand-year soul beast materials? You… you actually killed one?"
Both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo turned toward Mo Hui, holding their breath.
Mo Hui nodded with a calm smile.
"Hiss—!"
Everyone gasped.
To slay a hundred-thousand-year soul beast… there was no need to explain what that meant.
It meant Mo Hui possessed at least one hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, and possibly even a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone.
Those were the dreams of every Spirit Master.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect only hoped to offer a single one—and even that wouldn't be available anytime soon.

Mo Hui looked toward Ning Fengzhi and said,
"Sect Master Ning, I'd like to trouble you with helping me sell these soul beast materials. The gold soul coins earned—please send them directly to Dean Feng Qingcang at Divine Wind Academy."
Although Feng Qingcang had said he wouldn't manage resources for Mo Hui's new faction, Mo Hui didn't want to leave him empty-handed either.
These materials, all top-tier, included hundred-thousand-year items. If sold, the profit would be astronomical.
In the Douluo Continent, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were exceedingly rare. Only a handful of Titled Douluo possessed hundred-thousand-year spirit rings. And most high-end soul beast materials had to be scavenged after natural death—very few people could actually hunt such beasts.
So materials like these were even rarer than spirit rings themselves.
Upon hearing Mo Hui's request, Ning Fengzhi quickly composed himself and nodded.
"Of course. But I do have a small request in return..."
He looked at Mo Hui with a touch of eagerness in his eyes.
"Can I… see your hundred-thousand-year spirit ring?"
