Lin Yu grinned and said, "Teacher, two thousand years is too low. Let's make the second ring five thousand years."
"What?!"
"Five… five thousand years?!"
"Little Yu… are you… are you kidding?" Qian Daoliu's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Qian Renxue also stared at Lin Yu, stunned.
"I'm not kidding, Teacher. The second ring will be five thousand years," Lin Yu said very seriously.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fierce Fire Apricot are, without a doubt, the top-tier Immortal Herbs for refining the body and enhancing physique!
They are far more effective than any whale glue.
After he consumed these two Immortal Herbs, he then soaked in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for three months, which made Lin Yu's physical body several times more terrifying than before.
5000 years, perhaps, is still far from the limit.
But it's still the same sentiment: there's no need to take risks for a few more hundred or a thousand years. Five thousand years is completely sufficient.
"This… this!" Qian Daoliu gasped.
A five-thousand-year second ring was unheard of, unprecedented!
But looking at Lin Yu's determined eyes, Qian Daoliu still chose to believe in his disciple, who had been chosen by a God. He gritted his teeth: "Good! I'll get you a five-thousand-year one!"
"Thank you, Teacher."
"Oh, that's right, Little Yu. Before you acquire your second spirit ring, I'll test you with a few questions," Qian Daoliu re-entered his teaching mode.
"Oh? Teacher, please ask."
Qian Daoliu began to ask: "Do you know what two main cultivation styles Spirit Masters on our Douluo Continent are divided into?"
"Haha, Teacher, that question is too elementary." Lin Yu chuckled and replied, "Spirit Master cultivation is mainly divided into the balanced style and the extreme style."
Qian Daoliu said, "Elaborate."
"Alright."
"The balanced style is to develop as comprehensively as possible, allowing for strong offense, defense, and control, making one's own abilities, Spirit Abilities, and moves diverse and comprehensive, like a hexagonal warrior. This cultivation style has no obvious shortcomings or weaknesses, and one can contend with Spirit Masters of different ability types."
"However, because abilities are balanced, it's easy to lack particularly outstanding advantages or strengths."
"Now, regarding the extreme style, this cultivation style develops as much as possible in one direction. For example, if it's strong offense, then all power, attack, offense, and Spirit Abilities and abilities with destructive power are stacked, developing one direction as much as possible to the extreme."
"In this way, an extreme style Spirit Master's single ability will be particularly outstanding, but being too specialized will lead to weakness in other areas, resulting in obvious shortcomings and weaknesses. They may not be able to face various types of opponents and are also very likely to encounter Spirit Masters whose abilities happen to counter theirs."
Qian Daoliu nodded and continued to ask, "Then which do you think is better, the balanced style or the extreme style?"
Lin Yu chuckled: "I don't think one can say which is better; it should be which is more suitable for whom. This has a distinction by group."
"I think Spirit Masters with average talent can choose the extreme style, because most Spirit Masters in this World find it difficult to reach the Spirit King realm."
"If there are only two, three, or four Spirit Abilities, the balanced style can't even begin to develop! A low-level Spirit Master forcing a balanced approach would be too mediocre."
"But if one's talent is strong enough to cultivate above the Spirit Saint realm, I think the balanced style would be better. Spirit Masters above Spirit Saint are already very powerful in terms of physical strength, speed, reaction, mental force, and all other aspects. Relying on these strong foundations, they can better unleash the strength of a balanced approach."
"Therefore, I will choose the balanced style."
Lin Yu preferred the balanced approach.
He was confident he would absorb six Spirit Bones, and by then, with nine spirit ring skills and various Spirit Bone skills, there would be too many skills. He would definitely mold himself into a hexagonal warrior with all kinds of skills and abilities.
"Interesting." Qian Daoliu was quite surprised inwardly; he hadn't expected Lin Yu to speak so comprehensively.
"Very good, Little Yu."
"Now let's talk about the choice for your second spirit ring." Qian Daoliu nodded and continued, "Besides the Seven-Colored Spirit Bird, there is no second Spirit Beast with the same seven attributes as your Spirit, so you cannot develop all seven attributes comprehensively."
"Little Yu, you must choose which attribute, or two, or three, to focus on developing."
"After all, whether it's a Spirit Beast or a Spirit Master, those with more than three attributes are too rare."
"Choosing the main development attribute?" Lin Yu began to ponder.
He knew that as long as he controlled a portion of the seven divine forces of the Seven Elemental Gods, the attribute strength would be the same in the later stages, but for now, he indeed had to choose a main development attribute.
"Then, Fire, Water, and Light it is."
Fire was his most powerful attribute.
Water, for precise control of spirit power, could greatly reduce spirit power consumption, allowing for prolonged combat.
Light, for immunity, purification of side effects, and healing effects.
These three attributes were equivalent to power, might, endurance, persistence, invincibility, and healing.
Moreover, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fierce Fire ApricotLin Yu absorbed earlier had already enhanced the strength of Fire and Water, so now Fire and Water could be further strengthened.
"Fire, Water, Light? Perfect! There just happens to be a Spirit Beast with these three attributes, and this Spirit Beast is quite suitable for you, named the Fire Water Holy Light Beast." Qian Daoliu clapped his hands in approval.
"Then I'll trouble you, Teacher."
One day later.
Lin Yu and the others arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest and quickly entered the inner area to search.
The Fire Water Holy Light Beast was also rare; it could be said that none of the multi-attribute Spirit Beasts Lin Yu wanted were not rare.
But this time, with Qian Daoliu, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and Lin Tian searching together, the efficiency was much faster.
In less than two days, they found the target, whose cultivation was just over five thousand years.
Qian Daoliu commanded, "Seventh Enshrinement, go."
"Wait! High Priest! It's just a five-thousand-year Spirit Beast. Since Lin Tian is here, there's no need to trouble the Seven Enshrinement. I can handle it."
Saying that, Lin Tian released his Angel Spirit. Under his feet, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, eight rings, a standard top-tier configuration, appeared.
"Third Spirit Ability, Angelic Light Blade!"
Lin Tian transformed into a golden light and instantly slashed out.
Pfft! Bang! Boom boom!
A single strike severely wounded and defeated it, a handsome finish.
"Dad, you're so dashing!" Lin Yu praised.
"Haha, Little Yu, am I handsome, Dad?" Lin Tian chuckled.
"You're so cool, Dad."
"Alright, stop praising, kid. Go absorb it quickly." Lin Tian smiled and pushed Lin Yu's shoulder.
"Mm."
Lin Yu quickly walked towards the Fire Water Holy Light Beast, his heart filled with anticipation: "I wonder how many levels my spirit power will skyrocket this time? And what kind of second Spirit Ability will it bestow upon me?"
He quickly delivered the finishing blow, killed it, and then sat down cross-legged, beginning to absorb the spirit ring.
As the spirit ring was drawn from the Spirit Beast's body and integrated into his own, Lin Yu instantly felt the immense power contained within the spirit ring.
His spirit power began to surge!
