Soul Ring contained a faint yellow hue.
This indicated that the Soul Ring was nearing its hundred-year age.
Tang San quietly observed the Ghost Face Blue-Handed Soul Ring, choosing not to directly touch it.
Standing to the side, he seemed to be able to sense some faint energy contained within it.
"Little San, start absorbing the Soul Ring,"
Yu Xiaogang said calmly from not far away.
A Soul Ring of this level, produced by a fungal Soul Beast, posed no danger whatsoever.
Tang San nodded, raised his right hand, and concentrated his Soul Power into his palm.
A pale blue light shone, and the Blue Silver Flower grew from his palm.
"Come on, my first Soul Ring!"
Tang San was still somewhat excited at this moment.
This trip to the Soul Hunting Forest had not only resulted in a narrow escape from death but also found a Soul Ring suitable for him.
A narrow escape from death surely brings good fortune!
Although the age wasn't very high, he was quite satisfied.
The white Soul Ring, guided by the pale blue light, slowly flew towards Tang San.
"Sit cross-legged and focus your mind on your martial soul." Yu Xiaogang reminded him in a deep voice, his tone exceptionally serious and earnest
as he watched the approaching spirit ring . Ye Xian, watching from a distance, couldn't help but chuckle. Absorbing a ten-year spirit ring like it was a thousand-year one! What life-threatening danger could possibly arise? Unexpectedly, Tang San was remarkably obedient. He immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, concentrating all his attention on the Blue Silver Flower in his right hand. Soon, the white spirit ring arrived above Tang San's head. Then, it suddenly contracted, directly encasing his right-hand martial soul, the Blue Silver Flower. The white spirit ring, now several times smaller, appeared much more solid. Tang San, prepared and ready, felt a warm current enter his body from his right palm. It circulated within him before disappearing. The next instant, the Blue Silver Flower detached from his palm. Together with the white spirit ring, it floated above Tang San's head once more. Under the white light of the spirit ring, the Blue Silver Flower began to show subtle changes. The petals seemed to have grown slightly larger, but the effect was minimal, almost imperceptible without close inspection. The color change, however, was more noticeable. The original small white flower gradually turned dark green. Its initial beauty was completely gone. Meanwhile, the peculiar ghost-face pattern of the Blue Silver Flower remained on the grass below. Tang San nodded thoughtfully. That was the pattern of the Blue Silver Flower; the change in the Blue Silver Flower must be due to that. Although he didn't know if its actual combat power had increased, the Blue Silver Flower at least looked much stronger than before. It was no longer an ordinary little white flower. Just then, Tang San's eyes flashed. He discovered that his Mysterious Heaven Technique had also broken through the first level of its bottleneck. This was clearly due to the breakthrough he had achieved by absorbing his first spirit ring. Some of his previous guesses were now confirmed. Tang San stood up, breathing in the fresh air. Absorbing the energy of his first spirit ring made him feel much better. The fatigue he had felt earlier had also disappeared considerably. This is also why Yu Xiaogang insisted on bringing Tang San to hunt the Ghost-Faced Blue-Handed Demon. If Tang San's strength doesn't recover, the two of them might not even be able to leave the Soul Hunting Forest. He himself can't even walk right now; he'll have to rely on Tang San to carry him everywhere. As for Ye Xian, Yu Xiaogang has figured it out. That kid seems to have absolutely no intention of becoming his disciple. Bringing him out is a huge loss.
Not only did he fail to take on a disciple,
but he also turned Tang San's hundred-year spirit ring into Ye Xian's first spirit ring.
Meanwhile, his godson only absorbed a ten-year spirit ring.
This truly pained Yu Xiaogang.
Since that was the case, he might as well focus all his attention on Tang San and
nurture his godson with all his might.
After all, Tang San had the advantage of twin martial souls.
"Little San, did you succeed?"
Yu Xiaogang watched Tang San absorb the spirit ring the whole time, and only asked after seeing that the latter had finished.
"Godfather, I succeeded! Don't worry."
Tang San grinned, although he was somewhat disappointed with the age of his first spirit ring.
But to avoid worrying his godfather, he still acted very happy.
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a faint blue light appeared.
Dark green Blue Silver Flowers grew from his palm.
The Blue Silver Flowers, which originally had only one leaf, now had two.
Especially striking were the white ghost faces on the leaves.
A clear white halo rose from Tang San's feet, swirling around his body.
It was Tang San's first spirit ring!
A forced, stiff smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.
A ten-year spirit ring, no matter how much you exaggerate, has its limits.
Yu Xiaogang could only console himself.
"Little San, what's your first spirit skill?"
"If my judgment is correct, after fusing with the spirit ring of the Ghost Face Blue-flowered Bauhinia,"
"the Blue Silver Flower's resilience will be greatly enhanced."
"At the same time, the Ghost Face Blue-flowered Bauhinia is highly poisonous, so your first spirit skill should lean towards that direction."
Tang San nodded; Yu Xiaogang's guess was spot on.
His admiration for him was reignited.
"Godfather, my first spirit skill seems to be called..."
"Blue Silver Hallucinogenic Pollen!"
Tang San said thoughtfully.
Blue Silver Hallucinogenic Pollen: Controls Blue Silver Flower to release toxic pollen through spirit power, causing hallucinations in those who inhale the pollen.
"Cough cough cough—~!"
Just then, Ye Xian, not far away, suddenly coughed violently.
Upon hearing Tang San's first spirit skill, he almost burst out laughing. He simply couldn't
hold it in any longer.
The master and disciple had worked so hard for so long, and this was the first spirit ring they got?
Even the usually serious Yu Xiaogang was probably feeling quite uncomfortable inside.
His violent cough was merely a way to hide his smile.
"Ye Xian, are you alright?"
Hearing the noise, Yu Xiaogang turned to Ye Xian and asked casually.
The latter waved his hands repeatedly, indicating he was fine.
"Master, I'm fine, just a little tightness in my chest."
Yu Xiaogang then turned his attention back to Tang San.
"Little San, show your godfather your first spirit skill."
"Okay, godfather."
Tang San nodded, then used his spirit power to control the Blue Silver Flower and unleash its skill.
More than ten Blue Silver Grasses sprouted from the ground, quickly coiling around a nearby tree.
Then, a small, dark green flower bloomed above each Blue Silver Grass.
The petals swayed gently, spreading poisonous pollen.
Yu Xiaogang frowned, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
