[After discovering the thousand-year Dream Starlight Flower, Tang Chuan was pleasantly surprised and immediately decided to hunt it and absorb its spirit ring as his second ring.]
[Although the Dream Starlight Flower could release parasitic pollen spores, making close combat extremely dangerous…]
[…Tang Chuan simply threw three fragmentation grenades toward it.]
["Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"]
[With three deafening explosions, the shockwaves and intense heat tore the Dream Starlight Flower apart, leaving behind charred and tattered remains. The surrounding ground was riddled with craters, shredded by the sharp iron fragments.]
[In an instant, countless purple light particles rose from the wreckage, gradually forming the embryonic shape of a spirit ring above it.]
Black World, Shrek Academy.
Witnessing the destructive power of the fragmentation grenades, Tang San's expression darkened immediately. His fists clenched tightly as a storm raged within his heart.
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
How could anyone in this world create weapons comparable to the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect?
This made no sense!
Moreover, using sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter to produce gunpowder was a closely guarded secret of the Tang Sect, a crucial component in crafting the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus.
Tang Chuan clearly had no connection to the Tang Sect, so how could he possibly know such methods?
"Tang San, these fragmentation grenades seem quite powerful!"
"Are your Tang Sect hidden weapons just as strong?"
After seeing their effect in the comparison video, Ning Rongrong was both surprised and delighted.
She could already imagine how valuable such weapons would be for the support-type Spirit Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Although it was a pity that Tang Chuan belonged to the White World, she quickly shifted her thoughts to Tang San's hidden weapons, such as the Sleeve Arrow, which could also provide self-defense.
Thus, she asked with apparent curiosity, though her words subtly pressed Tang San.
Hearing this, Tang San let out a cold snort, his tone filled with disdain and pride.
"What do these fragmentation grenades even count for!"
"Our Tang Sect possesses countless hidden weapons far more powerful than these!"
"For instance, the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle, the Peacock Plume…"
Eager to prove his superiority, Tang San proudly listed several of the Tang Sect's most formidable hidden weapons.
However, he deliberately avoided mentioning the extremely rare and difficult-to-obtain materials required to create them.
[After killing the Dream Starlight Flower with three fragmentation grenades…]
[…Tang Chuan quickly moved forward, leapt onto a nearby large tree, sat cross-legged, summoned his Blue Silver Crystal Vine martial spirit, and began operating the Blue Silver Grass Meditation Technique to absorb the spirit ring.]
[Soon, the spirit ring rose from the ground and fused into the Blue Silver Crystal Vine.]
[Thanks to the enhancement from the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone and his long-term consumption of Whale Glue, Tang Chuan completed the absorption in just over ten minutes.]
[At that moment, small star-blue blossoms appeared among the crystal-like leaves of his martial spirit, and the entire vine shimmered faintly with starlight. It gained the ability to absorb starlight at night and convert it into vitality and spirit power.]
[However, due to the high quality of the Blue Silver Crystal Vine and the relatively limited age of the thousand-year spirit ring, Tang Chuan felt that the efficiency of this conversion was not particularly impressive.]
[After completing the absorption, Tang Chuan tested his new Spirit Ability.]
[He named his second Spirit Ability: Parasitic Seed.]
[Its effect was to release pollen spores and seeds capable of parasitizing enemies. Once attached, they would grow into new Blue Silver Crystal Vines, draining the target's vitality and spirit power and channeling it back to Tang Chuan.]
[Following the absorption of the thousand-year spirit ring, combined with the benefits of the spirit bone and over a year of cultivation and compression…]
[…Tang Chuan's cultivation surged forward, breaking through to Rank 30 and entering the realm of a Quasi-Spirit Elder.]
[With this advancement, he prepared to continue searching for his third spirit ring within the Star Dou Great Forest.]
[This time, his target was a spirit beast of around three thousand years.]
[Since he had experienced no pressure when absorbing the thousand-year spirit ring, it was clear that his body's endurance had not yet reached its limit.]
[Thus, Tang Chuan pressed deeper into the forest, gradually approaching the inner regions.]
[After another three to four days of searching, he arrived at a mountain peak where dark clouds constantly gathered and thunder roared. The slopes were scattered with exposed veins of silver-gray magnetic ore.]
[There, he discovered a three-thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine.]
Black World, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine!"
Upon seeing this, Ning Fengzhi immediately inhaled sharply.
"The Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine is a legendary God-level plant spirit beast. It is said to carry the bloodline of the Thunder God, placing it on the same level as the Titan Giant Ape or the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear among plant-type spirit beasts!"
"Even at only three thousand years of cultivation, its strength is likely comparable to that of a ten-thousand-year spirit beast. I wonder if Tang Chuan can successfully hunt it."
Beside him, Bone Douluo Gu Rong remained confident.
"I believe he can. After all, he eventually becomes a god."
[After discovering the three-thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine, Tang Chuan was greatly pleased.]
[Although the vine primarily possessed lightning attributes, he believed its life attribute must also be extremely powerful.]
[After all, it survives countless destructive lightning tribulations. Without extraordinary vitality, it would never have endured.]
[Thus, Tang Chuan decisively chose it as the target for his third spirit ring.]
[After quietly approaching within several hundred meters, he immediately hurled more than a dozen fragmentation grenades at it.]
[A series of explosions erupted, and in an instant, the location of the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine was reduced to a massive crater.]
[The vine itself had been completely destroyed, leaving behind only charred remains crackling faintly with residual electricity, while purple spirit power particles continuously rose into the air.]
[After the hunt, Tang Chuan quickly approached, summoned his martial spirit, and began absorbing the spirit ring using the Blue Silver Grass Meditation Technique.]
[At first, the absorption process proceeded smoothly.]
[However, just as it was nearing completion, a brilliant purple light suddenly burst from his back, and his spine began to protrude outward.]
[A look of intense pain crossed Tang Chuan's face as his body hunched forward and collapsed onto the ground.]
"Is this… an external Spirit Bone?!"
Black World, Shrek Academy.
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang's rigid face twisted, his eyes turning red with envy as he clenched his fists and shouted.
In that instant, he was nearly driven mad with jealousy.
A lightning-attributed external spirit bone!
And one originating from the legendary Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine!
Damn it!
Why did I never have such fortune?
If I had obtained such an external spirit bone, perhaps I could have evolved Luo Sanpao into a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!
Yu Xiaogang's thoughts roared wildly, completely consumed by envy.
