What Does This Mean? I Got Eaten?
"Xiao Feng, what do you mean by this?"
Grandmaster walked over. He had thought Qin Feng was recovering his Soul Power, but he had never expected Qin Feng to be drawing in the Spirit Ring!
"Grandmaster, didn't we come out this time to find Spirit Rings? I think this one is pretty good. First, it has strong offensive power, and second, it carries a lightning attribute."
Killing this Thunder Tyrant Tiger had indeed been an unexpected stroke of luck for Qin Feng.
This was a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, and he had killed it himself. Letting it go to waste like this would be far too regrettable.
Besides, the system had gone silent. Who knew when it would assign him another mission? What if it never gave him another mission? Wouldn't he be finished then?!
So he decided to absorb this Spirit Ring first.
At the very least, he would break through to the Spirit Master realm first. As for what came afterward, he would deal with it afterward.
"Are you insane? Look at what color that Spirit Ring is!!"
Grandmaster's eyes bulged like Cow Bells as he nearly roared the words.
If the Spirit Ring he absorbed exceeded his body's limits, he could suffer a backlash! Who on this continent had ever dared to absorb a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring at level ten?!
"Purple."
Qin Feng nodded his little head as he answered.
"Since you know it's purple, then tell me what purple represents!"
Grandmaster pointed at the Spirit Ring, his hoarse voice edged with anger.
He had explained it over and over when they came in. Even a blockhead should have remembered it by now!
"Purple represents a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring."
Qin Feng looked at Grandmaster with a baffled expression.
"Since you know it's a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, you still dare to absorb it? Didn't I tell you? The maximum limit for a first Spirit Ring is around four hundred years. From ancient times until now, no Spirit Scholar breaking through to Spirit Master has ever dared to absorb a thousand-year Spirit Ring, because absorbing one would inevitably result in death from backlash!"
Grandmaster had absolute confidence in his research. It was the work of nearly his entire life, and in this field, his authority was unquestionable.
"We already killed it. It would be a pity if the Spirit Ring just dispersed like this. Grandmaster, you should go watch Xiao San."
The moment Qin Feng finished speaking, he entered meditation.
In an instant, the Spirit Ring appeared around Qin Feng's waist.
"You! You!!"
"Such a child cannot be taught! Such a child cannot be taught!!"
Grandmaster was so angry that smoke practically rose from his head.
How could this child be so stubborn? Why wouldn't he listen to advice at all?
Xiao San's four-hundred-year Spirit Ring had already been pushing the absolute limit. Normally, people absorbed Spirit Rings under two hundred years old, and very few absorbed four-hundred-year ones!
Yet this one had gone straight for a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring from the start. Grandmaster did not know whether to call him greedy beyond measure or praise him for his courage!
With an angry expression, Grandmaster walked over to Xiao San.
If Qin Feng had not integrated the Spirit Ring into his body, Grandmaster could have forcibly destroyed it. He would rather suffer some injuries himself than let Qin Feng throw away his life.
However, Qin Feng had already begun the integration process. In such a situation, one could generally only let nature take its course. First, forcibly stopping it might cause the Spirit Ring to self-destruct. Second, Grandmaster lacked the ability to stop it, because it was a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.
Qin Feng did not notice Grandmaster leaving.
That was because he had entered a state of selflessness.
It was like being in the boundless cosmos. Everything around him was pitch-black, with only the occasional bright flicker.
"Could this be the trial one had to undergo when absorbing a Spirit Ring?"
Although Qin Feng was a transmigrator who had read through Douluo Continent and roughly knew what would happen during Spirit Ring absorption, knowing about it was one thing. He had never experienced it himself.
This was the first time in all his years on Douluo Continent that he had personally experienced the feeling of absorbing a Spirit Ring.
It was an incredibly mysterious sensation, one that also seemed to connect with his bloodline.
"Is it coming?!"
A tiger's roar rang out. Qin Feng looked into the distance and saw one Thunder Tyrant Tiger become four or five before they charged toward him in a furious rush.
The instant those Thunder Tyrant Tigers rushed over, Qin Feng felt an invisible force gripping his throat. No matter how desperately he gasped, he could not draw in any air!
Before half a second had passed, Qin Feng's originally fair little face had turned crimson, veins bulging across his neck and forehead.
He wanted to struggle, but it was like a small boat challenging the ocean. Any resistance was futile.
Qin Feng had prepared himself beforehand, but he had never imagined that the lingering will contained within a Thousand Year Spirit Beast's Spirit Ring would be so terrifying!
Outside, he could still devise a plan to kill it. But while absorbing the Spirit Ring, the two sides were truly clashing head-on.
He was only six years old. Colliding with the lingering will of a Thousand Year Spirit Beast after its death was no different from an egg striking a stone.
"Damn it, I killed the living thing, so how the hell am I going to get wiped out by some lingering soul!"
Qin Feng gritted his teeth and decided to endure it head-on.
Yet before he could hold on for even two breaths, the muscles throughout his body began tearing apart.
Blood surged out, spraying from his body!
"I'm really done for!"
Qin Feng still wanted to fight, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not move it in the slightest. The intense pain of his flesh being torn apart nearly made him lose consciousness.
Just as despair overwhelmed him, Qin Feng suddenly saw a huge mouth appear in the darkness. It then bit off half the darkness in a single bite, as if it were eating a biscuit!
"What the hell is this??"
Qin Feng stared dumbly overhead.
Wasn't that ugly, pitch-black thing his Bug?
How could Bug eat this entire space?
And as it looked at him, its eyes seemed filled with extreme excitement.
That feeling was like it had spotted food???
"Damn it, taking my life while I'm down? You're not planning to kill your master, are you?"
A terrifying thought suddenly surfaced in Qin Feng's mind.
He was trapped here by the Thunder Tyrant Tiger. If this bastard wanted to eat him, Qin Feng truly had no way to stop it!!
"It's over, it's over."
Qin Feng did not even dare blink, because every time he did, the ugly Bug came half a step closer.
The originally pitch-black sky had been gnawed away by Bug until more than half of it was gone.
"Hehehe! Damn it, what are you doing?!"
Bug seemed to think it was eating too slowly. It actually wriggled its body and gnawed its way toward Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was not even as big as one of this black ugly Bug's feet.
He could clearly see its emerald-green eyes, its long-haired legs, and its terrifying form advancing toward him step by step.
"Heaven truly is unfair. I never thought I'd die at the hands of a Bug, and a Bug this ugly at that."
Qin Feng threw back his head and howled. The world was unfair!
Right now, he could only wonder why he had not strangled this scourge in the cradle back then!
At that very moment, Bug appeared before Qin Feng.
It opened its huge mouth, and sharp fangs lunged at Qin Feng, seemingly dripping with saliva!!
The second chapter is up, and there's one more chapter coming today!
