Upon hearing this, Wang Li didn't hesitate and quickly stepped forward; he had witnessed the Great Vajra Vine's performance firsthand.
One must know, it was facing a Titled Douluo, yet not only was it not instantly subdued, but it could also put up a certain resistance, which was enough to prove the strength of this Great Vajra Vine Spirit Beast.
As he got closer, Wang Li looked at the Great Vajra Vine; it had already been affected by Dugu Bo's paralyzing poison, corrosive poison, Bi Lin Snake venom, Jade Phosphor Serpent venom... Its body was severely damaged, yet it was still constantly writhing. What formidable vitality!
Wang Li was also worried that it wouldn't hold on much longer, so he took out a giant refined iron axe from his spirit tool and chopped at it with force, once, twice, thrice, four times...
It wasn't until the Great Vajra Vine was broken into several sections that it completely lost its vitality, and a purple spirit ring surged forth, condensing into a spirit ring.
Looking at this spirit ring, Wang Li's eyes brightened. He put away his giant axe and looked at Dugu Bo:
"Thank you for your help, Senior. I'll absorb this spirit ring now!"
Dugu Bo nodded, then instructed:
"This Great Vajra Vine has at least two thousand five hundred to two thousand seven hundred years of cultivation. It's also a Spirit Beast known for its terrifying vitality, so be careful yourself. Keep your mind steady and don't relax!"
Wang Li was quite confident in himself. Spirit Beasts under ten thousand years would not have lingering resentment, and as long as his body was strong enough, absorbing it would not be a problem:
"Alright, Senior, I understand!"
After speaking, Wang Li sat cross-legged on the ground, summoning his Spirit. Blue Silver Grass encircled his body, and two yellow spirit rings pulsed up and down. As he released his spirit power, the Great Vajra Vine's purple spirit ring flew directly towards him, settling onto the Blue Silver Grass.
At this moment, a powerful, domineering, yet vibrant and immense spirit power surged into Wang Li's body. Even with his robust physique, he felt his breath catch.
But then, Wang Li thought with pleasant surprise:
"Come on, come on! The stronger you are, the happier I am; the more you resist, the more excited I become!"
Thinking this, Wang Li fully focused his mind, activating his meditation method, simultaneously suppressing and guiding, leading this vast spirit power to circulate in his body in circles.
His body was indeed formidable, capable of containing this immense spirit power. It made him uncomfortable for a while, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. Once the spirit power circulation was on track, he began to absorb it systematically.
One hour... two hours... Time passed minute by minute.
Logically, Wang Li should have completed the absorption by now, but he hadn't awakened. Instead, a milky white light appeared on his body.
This made Dugu Bo pause, somewhat bewildered. Normal spirit ring absorption was definitely not like this.
The light grew denser, eventually forming a cocoon of light, and Wang Li's figure was completely hidden within this light cocoon.
Dugu Bo's brows furrowed, but Wang Li's expression earlier was peaceful, without any pain or discomfort, so it shouldn't be anything bad. He continued to guard him.
Inside the light cocoon, Wang Li's Spirit was undergoing transformation and evolution. For Wang Li, this was an all-around improvement, certainly not a bad thing.
From day to night, a total of ten hours passed. Suddenly, the light cocoon shattered, turning into white airflow that returned to Wang Li's body with his breathing.
The next moment, Wang Li opened his eyes, which were bright and radiant. A smile played on his lips; he was in better condition than ever before.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo also let out a sigh of relief, then asked with a curious expression:
"What happened? Absorbing a third spirit ring, and it was still so eventful?"
Wang Li stood up, stretched lazily, and laughed:
"It seems to be because my Spirit is very compatible with the Great Vajra Vine. Its immense vitality caused my already mutated Blue Silver Grass to undergo a certain degree of further mutation."
After speaking, he looked at the panel that only he could see:
Host: Wang Li
Spirit: Blue Silver Grass Lv3 (Evolving)
spirit power: Level 32 (10%) +
Trait: Vitality Lv3 (Blue Silver Grass, found in every corner of the Douluo Continent, though pitifully weak, possesses strong vitality and can slowly recover from injuries)
Passive: Tenacity Lv3 (What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. When facing any abnormal status, as long as I don't die directly, my physique will become stronger after recovery)
spirit rings: First spirit ring (Equipped) Second spirit ring (Equipped) Third spirit ring (Equipped)
Spirit Bones: None
Combat Experience: 102480
His Blue Silver Grass Spirit had finally undergone another evolution after its awakening.
He opened the "Evolving" panel:
Lv3 -> Lv4 Life Origin (12 / 40)
It seemed that for the next stage of evolution, unless his fourth spirit ring was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, he would have to wait until his fifth spirit ring.
His spirit power also reached Level 32, as he had absorbed a Spirit Beast over two thousand years old.
His Spirit talent was further strengthened, and then, Wang Li excitedly opened "Third spirit ring":
Spirit Ability: Chaotic Dance (All attributes increased by 50%, including Strength +50%, Speed +50%, Armor +50%, Armor Penetration +50%... and performs indiscriminate crushing attacks in all directions. Note: increase control over spirit power to enhance control over Blue Silver Vines during Chaotic Dance)
Source: Great Vajra Vine (The king of power among plant Spirit Beasts, known for its vitality, rare in number, and extraordinary potential)
Age: 2624 (+)
Wang Li gasped. This was a third spirit ring, a Spirit Ability that a thousand-year spirit ring could provide, or rather, the absorption of the third spirit ring, combined with the next stage of his Spirit's evolution, jointly created this Spirit Ability.
Seeing Wang Li's shocked expression, Dugu Bo became even more curious and couldn't help but ask:
"What changes did your Spirit undergo, and what kind of Spirit Ability did you gain?"
Wang Li felt that showing was better than explaining, so he activated his first Spirit Ability. Roots of Blue Silver Grass grew explosively against the wind, instantly transforming into Blue Silver Vines as thick as an adult's thigh, covering the ten-meter area around Wang Li like giant pythons.
His eyes gleamed. Absolute life brings absolute power, and absolute power brings absolute destruction. These thick Blue Silver Vines were the best manifestation of absolute power.
From now on, no matter what restraint or lack thereof, thunder and fierce fire, divine wind and frost... If I whip you and don't kill you directly, then we can talk about restraint.
Then Wang Li softly said:
"Third Spirit Ability, Chaotic Dance!"
The thousand-year spirit ring glowed, and Wang Li's spirit power was rapidly consumed. All the Blue Silver Vines took on a metallic luster. They twisted and moved so fast that they left afterimages. The air crackled, and the ground thumped.
It was as if the earth dragon had turned over, as if giant beasts were trampling. The surrounding withered flowers, plants, and trees were now uprooted.
Dugu Bo watched dumbfounded. Was this really a Spirit Elder's third Spirit Ability? He felt it was more like a Spirit Ancestor's fourth Spirit Ability!!!
