Chapter 69: One Shock After Another
["Father, I haven't finished yet. The effect of my First Spirit Ability doesn't stop there."]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes widened.]
[A Spirit Ability that would never be obsolete was already Heaven-Defying enough; were there other effects?]
[Under Yu Yuanzhen's expectant gaze, Yu Xiaogang did not speak this time, but instead raised his palm.]
[Soon, an apple-sized energy ball emitting light appeared above Yu Xiaogang's palm.]
["Father, do you see anything?"]
[Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Yuanzhen with a smile.]
[Yu Yuanzhen sized up the energy ball above Yu Xiaogang's palm, even circling around him twice, but he still couldn't find anything worth noting.]
["Hehe, it might not be obvious like this. How about this?"]
[As he spoke, with a thought from Yu Xiaogang, the energy ball that had been quietly floating on his palm began to rotate rapidly around him.]
[The trajectory of the rotation went up and down, with no discernible pattern at all.]
[Seeing this scene, Yu Yuanzhen finally understood the other effect Yu Xiaogang had mentioned.]
["You mean, these things formed by your spirit power can still be controlled by you after they leave your body?"]
["Exactly!"]
[Nodding, Yu Xiaogang waved his finger, and the energy ball that was rotating around him shot toward the ground ahead like an arrow from a bow.]
[The next second.]
[Bang!]
[A slight explosion sounded, and a few marks were blasted into the ground.]
[Immediately after, Yu Xiaogang raised his hand again, and an energy ball immediately began to condense in front of his palm.]
[The first one formed easily, but when the second energy ball began to form, Yu Xiaogang frowned.]
[Despite this, the second energy ball soon condensed and took shape.]
[Waving his hand to throw the two energy balls out, Yu Xiaogang tried to control their flight trajectories, finding it far less easy than controlling a single energy ball.]
[Finally, letting the two energy balls collide and explode, Yu Xiaogang also completely understood the advantages and disadvantages of this move.]
["Using spirit power to release specific shapes like this is easy when used individually."]
["But if I want to condense a second one, I have to maintain the stability of the first while simultaneously condensing the second."]
[Yu Xiaogang sighed with some regret.]
[He had thought he could achieve the kind of scene where, with a wave of his hand, the sky would be filled with energy balls condensed before him, which would then pursue enemies under his control.]
["So, to truly unleash the power of this move, you need the Distraction Control Method of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."]
[Yu Yuanzhen also thought of a solution to this problem, but in the end, he shook his head.]
[The Distraction Control Method is a core secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Without enough bargaining chips, it would be impossible for them to obtain such a secret.]
["It doesn't necessarily have to be about quantity."]
[Yu Xiaogang shook his head upon hearing this.]
["Even if only one energy ball is condensed, as long as it's filled with enough spirit power, its power won't be lacking."]
[Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen could only nod, but in his heart, he secretly made a note of this matter.]
[There might not be a good opportunity now, but that might not be the case in the future.]
[His son was destined to become a powerhouse in the future. Since that was the case, as a father, he had to pave the way for him as much as possible.]
[After describing the use of his First Spirit Ability, Yu Xiaogang told Yu Yuanzhen another piece of news he hadn't expected.]
["You're saying your first spirit ring also provided you with a passive ability? A hundred percent increase in total spirit power?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Xiaogang with hurried breath.]
["Yes, the enhancement my first spirit ring brought me is related to spirit power."]
["Actively releasing spirit power and passively increasing the total amount of spirit power. Furthermore, this increased amount will continue to grow stronger as I grow in the future."]
["With this Spirit Ability, I basically won't have to worry about running out of spirit power in the future."]
[Listening to Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Yuanzhen's gaze was dull, as were the several Elders watching from the side.]
[It couldn't be helped; the shock Yu Xiaogang's First Spirit Ability brought them was simply too great.]
[Other people's First Spirit Abilities—take Yu Yuanzhen himself, for example.]
[His First Spirit Ability was called Thunder Dragon Claw.]
[The effect was to use spirit power to condense into lightning dragon claws to attack enemies. They could be launched from a distance or attached to the arms for close combat.]
[And during battle, a paralysis effect could be added.]
[That was the full extent of his First Spirit Ability.]
[Comparing his First Spirit Ability with Yu Xiaogang's, it was simply left in the dust.]
[The gap was too large.]
[Just in terms of attack forms, Yu Xiaogang's First Spirit Ability had long-range means like rays and energy balls, and based on his description, it could certainly be used for close combat just like Yu Yuanzhen's.]
[In this comparison, it truly crushed Yu Yuanzhen's First Spirit Ability.]
[On top of that, Yu Xiaogang's First Spirit Ability also brought an increase in total spirit power, which would continue to grow stronger with his Rank in the future.]
[Yu Yuanzhen and the others would have believed it if someone said this was a ten-thousand-year Spirit Skill!]
[But as it turned out, this was actually just Yu Xiaogang's First Spirit Ability.]
[If the First Spirit Ability was already like this, how Heaven-Defying would the subsequent Spirit Abilitys be?]
[Yu Yuanzhen and the others didn't dare to imagine.]
["One can only say, as expected of the Spirit Ability brought by the first spirit ring of thousand years!"]
[The Grand Elder on the side finally managed to close his mouth. After a thousand words, he could only offer this one sigh of admiration.]
[The others nodded one after another in agreement.]
["And..."]
["And?!!!"]
[Before Yu Xiaogang could finish his sentence, Yu Yuanzhen and the others shouted out directly.]
[There's more? You actually have more?]
[Can this world get any better?]
[It wasn't enough for your First Spirit Ability to crush their ten-thousand-year Spirit Skills; are you trying to ascend to the heavens?]
["Uh, this time it's not an effect of the Spirit Ability."]
[Seeing the distorted expressions on the faces of his father and the Elders, Yu Xiaogang felt a bit embarrassed.]
[Although seeing everyone's reaction gave Yu Xiaogang a small sense of secret joy.]
["Father, you all know that Xiao Long's situation is special."]
["One can see its uniqueness from the fact that it can also Cultivate."]
["And now..."]
[As he spoke, with a thought from Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Long over there immediately released the previous ray again.]
[But this time, Yu Xiaogang himself was not idle either.]
[He similarly channeled the power of his first spirit ring to activate his Spirit Ability.]
[The next second, a ball of light condensed in Yu Xiaogang's palm, and then, just like Xiao Long, he shot out a brilliant ray of light.]
[Two rays were shot out by Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Long respectively, but the man and dragon did not interfere with or affect each other.]
[It was as if they were two teammates fighting side by side.]
[Seeing this scene, Yu Yuanzhen and the Elders all gasped.]
[Because the significance represented by the scene before them was far more intense than the shock the First Spirit Ability had given them.]
