Second Spirit Ring Idea

"What should the Second Spirit Skill be?"

Bai Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, pondering.

For a Spirit Master, every Spirit Skill is crucial.

Even Zygarde, who can learn moves on its own, is no exception.

However, unlike others who absorb Spirit Rings seeking balance and limits, he and Zygarde pursue versatility!

As for the first Spirit Skill, attack-type skills were directly ruled out without consideration.

In other aspects, it was a choice between enhancing oneself, weakening others, and functional aspects.

In terms of weakening, Zygarde mastered the divine skill Glare. Once it hits, the opponent is instantly paralyzed and their speed is halved.

So----

"Xiao Ruan, do you need an enhancement Spirit Skill first?"

Bai Mu looked at Zygarde beside him.

Over the past six months, he had tried to get Zygarde to learn Dragon Dance, a move that could enhance attack and speed.

But for some reason, it had been slow to master, making him impatient.

"Not for now. I feel I am only one step away from learning Dragon Dance."

Zygarde shook its head slightly, its tone firm: "As soon as I obtain the Second Spirit Ring, I will successfully awaken it!"

"The move awakened by the Second Spirit Ring is Dragon Dance? Excellent!"

Upon receiving this good news, Bai Mu's lips curled up.

Although Dragon Dance is not particularly strong among enhancement moves, it is still a divine skill that other ground dragons can only dream of!

At least it's enough to get through the early to mid-game. When the opportunity arises, he can try to use Spirit Ring Resonance to get the strongest enhancement move!

However----

"What kind of Spirit Skill should I get next----"

Bai Mu rubbed Zygarde's head with a hint of entanglement and asked, "Xiao Ruan, do you have any suggestions?"

"Wuu~"

Zygarde did not use Telepathy, but simply stared at Bai Mu, raising its paws towards him.

"You lack nothing, so let me consider myself more first?"

Bai Mu's face flickered with confusion, then he suddenly realized: "Indeed, although I can turn invisible and my physique isn't bad, I'm ultimately just a slightly stronger mortal.

If the enemy completely ignores Zygarde and attacks me madly, I, without the power to protect myself, will also die!

"

There are many geniuses, but few strong individuals.

A genius who hasn't grown up is nothing!

"Only by surviving can I become a strong individual who decides my own fate!"

Bai Mu's eyes lit up, and he began to frantically recall Spirit Beast information and Pokemon Moves.

Soon, a special Spirit Beast appeared in his mind: Mirror Shadow Beast.

In the original work, Oscar obtained two abilities, Mirror Copy and Mirror Clone, from the Spirit Ring and skull of the Mirror Shadow Beast respectively.

"If I can hunt a suitable Mirror Shadow Beast, perhaps I can obtain the Spirit Skill I want without needing a resonance move."

However, this type of Spirit Beast mainly lives in the north, covered in snow.

He had to go Northward again.

He packed his bags and terminated the lease on his stone house.

Before leaving Blazing Fire City, he went to the Blazing Fire Great Soul Arena again and watched two Soul Elder and Soul Ancestor level soul battles as an audience member.

"Dragon of Order, aren't you participating in a soul battle today?"

A staff member asked curiously as he left.

"Not participating."

Bai Mu glanced at his soul battle badge embedded with a sapphire. "The next time I participate, it might be in another city."

"Ah? You're leaving?"

The staff member was a bit stunned.

"Yes, it's time to go."

Bai Mu smiled faintly and turned to leave.

Several days later... "What! That guy left!?"

Huo Wu, upon receiving the news of Bai Mu's departure, was furious.

"Why! Why did he just leave without a word!"

"I haven't defeated him yet, how could he just leave like that?"

Huo Wu, whose mentality had exploded, immediately issued a bounty, determined to find the [Dragon of Order] and avenge her humiliation!

Unaware of this, Bai Mu traveled north and successfully arrived at Skywater City.

He didn't rush to visit Skywater Academy, but first found a hotel to stay in, bathed, changed, and washed away the dust of his journey.

The next morning, he stepped into Skywater Academy.

Unlike the luxury of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Skywater Academy exuded a clear, elegant, and natural aura.

The blue and white buildings nestled against the mountains and water, clearly a good place for water-attribute Spirit Masters to cultivate.

"Please wait a moment, the Director will be here shortly."

After a brief exchange with the guard and presenting his credentials, a teaching assistant quickly led him to the Director's Office.

"Please wait patiently, the Director will be here shortly."

The teaching assistant said and left.

Not long after----

"Xiao Mu?!"

Shui Yunxin pushed the door open, her face full of surprise.

Behind her, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er quickly followed.

"Aunt Shui, Bing'er, Yue'er, long time no see!"

Bai Mu smiled and waved, his gaze briefly sweeping over them.

After nearly a year apart, Shui Yunxin was still as gentle as water, but the sisters seemed to have grown taller.

Shui Bing'er's temperament was even more cool and calm, her bright eyes shining with wisdom.

Shui Yue'er was still lively and energetic, her eyes lighting up upon seeing Bai Mu.

"Long time no see."

Shui Bing'er smiled slightly, her eyes curving.

"Is it my imagination, or do you seem much stronger than before?"

Shui Yue'er circled Bai Mu twice, her pretty face flushed as she poked the Muscle on Bai Mu's arm.

"Be more confident, get rid of the 'feeling'."

Bai Mu smiled and extended his hand in front of Shui Yue'er, raising an eyebrow and conveying with his eyes: "Want a touch?"

"Then I won't be polite!"

Shui Yue'er blinked and excitedly extended her demonic claws.

"Slap!"

Her claws, halfway up, were ruthlessly slapped down by Shui Yunxin.

"Girls should be more reserved."

Shui Yunxin glared at Shui Yue'er, then quickly pulled Bai Mu to sit down and asked with concern: "We received your letter earlier, and when we saw you said you withdrew from Sky Dou Academy, we were so worried----Prince Xue Xing and that Fourth Prince, they were simply too overbearing!"

"You know?"

Bai Mu was a little surprised.

When he left Sky Dou, he had indeed written a letter to Shui Yunxin, but he hadn't written how he withdrew.

"Mom went to find the Commissioner, but they said----it was the Dean's decision, and they were powerless."

Shui Bing'er pursed her lips and said in a low voice.

Shui Yue'er angrily waved her little fists: "If we were there at the time, we would have definitely helped you beat up that Xue Beng!"

"It's okay, it's all in the past. The result is good, that's all that matters."

Bai Mu felt a warmth in his heart.

There weren't many people in this world who genuinely cared about him, and the Shui Family Mother and Daughter were among the few.

Shui Yunxin asked with concern: "How have you been all these days, by yourself?"

"How I've been----"

Bai Mu thought for a moment, deliberately omitting the two "unimportant" matters of stealing Immortal Herbs and kidnapping a prince to extort the Royal Family.

He only said that he had been traveling and cultivating in various places, and then he had been staying in Blazing Fire City to earn money from soul battling----

"This time I'm going North, besides visiting you in Skywater, I'm also planning to go North to hunt for my Second Spirit Ring."
