A system note popped up for Huo Feng.
[Note: This spirit ring is wind-attributed, and a Spirit Ability is guaranteed upon its fusion!] [Gale Breath Severing Strike!]
"Gale Breath Severing Strike!" Huo Feng repeated, a little surprised. Why did that name sound so familiar? An image of a handsome young man with a sword at his waist and a wild, broom-like hairstyle suddenly flashed in his mind.
He hadn't expected his fourth spirit ability to be this. Still, the spirit ring he was about to absorb was wind-attributed, so it made perfect sense for the ability to be related to wind.
[Ding!] [The ten-thousand-year, wind-attributed black spirit ring has been stored in the system warehouse!]
The system's alert brought Huo Feng back to the present. He opened the warehouse without hesitating. The first slot held the [Ten-Thousand-Year Wind-Attributed Black spirit ring]. He clicked to claim it.
[Ding!] [The ten-thousand-year wind-attributed black spirit ring is ready. Does the host choose to fuse it?]
Huo Feng had fused several spirit rings before, so he answered immediately, "Fuse!"
As soon as he spoke, a pure black halo of light appeared in front of him. "So this is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring," Huo Feng muttered.
With a thought, his three existing spirit rings rose from his feet—yellow, purple, and purple. He raised his right hand, and his spirit, the Iron Sword, appeared in his palm.
Swish!
His first spirit ring flashed. The ordinary Iron Sword instantly changed, transforming into a longsword covered in blue electric arcs. This was the Dugu Nine Swords First Form: Thunderclap Sword.
His hand trembled slightly, and his second spirit ring lit up. The sword changed again. The blue electricity vanished, replaced by a fiery red glow and raging flames. The temperature in the room instantly rose. This was the Second Form: Liehuo Sword.
Swish!
Finally, his third spirit ring lit up. The flames on the sword disappeared. The blade's color split right down the middle, from the hilt to the tip. The left side was golden, and the right side was black. Two completely different energies filled the blade. This was the Dugu Nine Swords Third Form: Shenmo Sword.
To fuse a new ring, Huo Feng had to have his spirit released, so he kept the Shenmo Sword in its current form.
Huo Feng guided the pure black, ten-thousand-year spirit ring with his spirit power. It flew toward him. It suddenly contracted, shrinking to the size of a bracelet, and slipped onto the Shenmo Sword in his hand.
Sizzle!
The contact between the two different energies immediately caused a strong repulsion. The Shenmo Sword began to tremble violently. A black sphere of light and a gold sphere of light emerged from the blade.
The new ten-thousand-year spirit ring trembled slightly. It released a wisp of greenish-blue wind.
When the excited black and gold spheres of light met this wind, they reacted like mice seeing a cat. They immediately quieted down and merged back into the sword.
Gradually, the clear gold and black colors of the Shenmo Sword began to fade. The entire sword changed. The blade became more slender, and a slight curve appeared near the tip. The whole sword was now a faint, greenish-blue color, with mysterious wind patterns carved onto its surface.
[Ding!] [Congratulations, Host: The ten-thousand-year wind-attributed black spirit ring has been successfully fused!] [Dugu Nine Swords Fourth Form — Jifeng Sword!] [Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Fourth Spirit Ability: Gale Breath Severing Strike!]
Huo Feng nodded, very satisfied. He stared at the new Jifeng Sword in his hand. Even though he had just fused a 10,000-year spirit ring, he hadn't felt any discomfort. He only felt a huge wave of energy surge into his body.
This was a ten-thousand-year ring, and it was his fourth ring. If a normal person tried to absorb this, they would probably explode from the immense energy. But Huo Feng looked completely relaxed.
Based on his estimation, the energy from this ring should raise his spirit power by one or two more levels.
Huo Feng stood up. Four spirit rings rose around him: yellow, purple, purple, and black. Even he was a little shocked by the sight. He immediately started to adjust the spirit ring simulator.
After just a minute, his second (purple) spirit ring turned yellow again. His new fourth (black) spirit ring disappeared completely.
To anyone else, Huo Feng still looked like a Spirit Elder with three rings. He couldn't help but think how convenient having a "cheat" was. He didn't have to hide or be on edge all day. This was much more comfortable.
Huo Feng opened the system interface again and clicked on his host information. The screen changed.
[Host Name: Huo Feng.] [Host Spirit: Dugu Nine Swords] [First Stage — Thunderclap Sword!] [Second Stage — Liehuo Sword!] [Third Stage — Shenmo Sword!] [Fourth Stage — Jifeng Sword!] [Host Spirit Power: Level 42 Battle Spirit Ancestor!] [Host Spirit Abilities:] [First Spirit Skill: Sword Breaking Strike!] [Second Spirit Skill: Prairie Fire!] [Third Spirit Skill: One Thought God and Demon!] [Fourth Spirit Skill: Gale Breath Severing Strike!] [Host Spirit Bone: One-hundred-thousand-year Sword Domain Spirit Bone.] [Host's Wife: To be determined.]
"Level 42 spirit power," Huo Feng noted with a nod. That was exactly what he expected. The energy from the ten-thousand-year ring had raised his spirit power by two full levels.
With his strong foundation and abilities, Huo Feng felt he could probably fight an ordinary Level 50 Spirit King. If he used his Spirit Bone skill, he might even be able to challenge a Level 60 Spirit Emperor.
The day passed quickly. It was the first day of the holiday, and everyone at Shrek Academy was relaxing.
That night, Flender was in his room, getting ready for bed.
Knock knock knock!
There was a sudden knock on his door.
"It's me."
Before Flender could react, a familiar voice came from outside.
It was Yu Xiaogang.
