Tang San's Third Spirit Ring
Zhu Zhuyun, Tang Hao, Yue Guan, and others also contributed a considerable amount.
Currently, his total Faith Power are approaching eight million, a substantial amount of capital sufficient to support him in carrying out further operations.
After obtaining Tang San's third Spirit Ring, the Simulator will be activated again.
Fu Shiyan already had a plan in mind regarding the content of Tang San's next Simulation.
In the next Simulation, he needs to further solidify and enrich the depth of his character, while subtly guiding Tang San to realize that it was precisely because he chose to follow him and change his original trajectory in reality that the speed at which Fu Shiyan's Soul Power increased in the Simulation deviated "reasonably" from the actual situation.
Furthermore, the concept of the "Beichen Academy," which paves the way for the future, should also have clearer foreshadowing laid in the Simulation.
Despite having many plans in mind, Fu Shiyan maintained her usual calm and indifferent demeanor.
He glanced at Tang San, who was quietly following half a step behind him.
Perhaps due to his long-term cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the consumption of immortal Immortal Herb, Tang San, at only seven years old, had already grown to about 1.5 meters tall, making him quite tall among his peers.
The most noticeable change is his hair color—his hair, which was originally pure black with a hint of blue, now shows a clear deep blue sheen in the sunlight.
This is undoubtedly a direct manifestation of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline within him being continuously stimulated and becoming increasingly potent.
Fu Shiyan secretly assessed the situation, thinking to herself.
After absorbing these Seven-Heart Spirit Vine of the Spirit Ring, the quality of Martial Soul will undoubtedly experience a leap forward.
Perhaps, when he obtains his fourth Spirit Ring, there is a high probability that he will complete the formal awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor ahead of schedule.
They traveled in silence. All three were Soul Master with exceptionally fast foot speeds, Fu Ze was even able to carry the other two along short, low-altitude flights, saving a significant amount of time.
Just three days later, the vast, dark green forest of the Star Dou Great Forest, exuding an ancient and desolate aura, once again came into view.
Unlike their previous journey through the outer areas, this time they need to venture deep into the forest to find the rare and specific "Seven-Heart Spirit Vine".
Standing at the edge of the forest, one can better feel the vibrant life within and the hidden dangers.
Countless powerful and faint auras intertwined and mixed, forming an invisible web of life and death.
As Fu Shiyan and the other two cautiously made their way through the dense forest, Fu Ze, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, and the aura he had been suppressing fluctuated slightly.
He listened intently, his sharp gaze piercing through the layers of branches and leaves, reaching a certain direction deeper in the forest. Then he turned and respectfully whispered to Fu Shiyan:
"Young Master, I sense an unusually active and condensed life force gathering about 300 meters ahead. It matches the characteristics of the ' Seven-Heart Spirit Vine ' you described quite well, and it should be our target."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyan's gaze sharpened slightly, and she nodded, giving a concise order:
"Let's go take a look."
"Yes."
Fu Ze said no more, adjusted his direction, and became even more reserved, leading the two of them quietly toward the direction he had sensed.
After a short while, the three of them passed through an exceptionally dense thicket of bushes, and the view suddenly opened up before them.
What appeared before them was not the low vines they had expected, but a towering ancient tree that required several people to encircle, with bark displaying a dark golden hue, and reaching a height of tens of meters.
This ancient tree was not their target, but it was no ordinary tree; it was a rare plant Soul Beast known for its tenacious vitality—the "Starry Sky Tree."
Judging from the somber aura it exudes and the natural star-like patterns on its trunk, it is at least 13,000 years old.
Their destination was densely Entanglement on the trunk and branches of this Starry Sky Tree.
It was a vine, its entire body a vibrant emerald green, smooth and with a subtle, warm, pale green sheen, as if carved from the finest jade.
There are a great many vines, roughly forty in total, of varying lengths, with the longest hanging down to almost touch the ground. They are not Parasite, but rather wriggle slowly with a wonderful rhythm, seemingly merging with the breath of the Starry Sky Tree, exchanging pure life essence with each other.
This is precisely the typical characteristic of the "Seven-Heart Spirit Vine"—forming a stable symbiotic relationship with powerful tree-type Soul Beast, depending on each other and growing together.
Judging from the number and thickness of the vines, as well as the condensed life aura, this Seven-Heart Spirit Vine is nearly four thousand years old, around three thousand nine hundred years old, which is exactly within the golden range for the absorption of the third Spirit Ring.
Fu Shiyan glanced at it and immediately understood.
Having been tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and nourished by the high-quality Whale Rubber that Fu Ze had specially found for him over the past six months, Tang San's physical strength has long surpassed that of his peers.
Absorbing this 3,900-year-old Spirit Ring was not only effortless for him, but it could even further unleash his potential.
The Starry Sky Tree and its symbiotic Seven-Heart Spirit Vine clearly sensed the arrival of the three uninvited guests, as well as the faint, yet still unsettling, pressure emanating from Fu Ze.
The entire tree trembled slightly, its leaves moving without wind, making a rustling warning sound.
The emerald green vines that Entanglement it also stopped their regular wriggling, appearing somewhat uneasy as they curled up and tensed, their pale green halos flickering uncertainly.
However, under the invisible suppression of Fu Ze's level 95 Titled Douluo Soul Power, both the ten-thousand-year-old Starry Sky Tree and the nearly four-thousand-year-old Seven-Heart Spirit Vine were like insects frozen in amber. They had enormous vitality and unease, but they couldn't even put up the slightest effective resistance and could only stand frozen in place.
Fu Shiyan carefully sensed for a moment, nodded slightly, turned to Tang San beside her who was staring intently, and confirmed in a calm tone:
"Yes, the age is just right, around 3,900 years. It's perfect as your third Spirit Ring."
"Looks like we've had good luck; this trip has gone quite smoothly."
He paused briefly, then pointed to the area beneath the tree trunk Entanglement vines, adding:
Its weakness lies in a ' Life Core ' buried deep within its underground root system.
"That's the source of its near-immortality. Now it's completely suppressed by Fu Ze and can't move."
Fu Shiyan looked at Tang San, her eyes carrying a hint of testing:
"Your control and precision in operating the Blue Silver Grass have improved considerably over the past six months."
"Now is the perfect time to put it into practice."
"Try using your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to go deep underground, find and lock its root system, and 'pull' it out of the soil entirely."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's anticipation and eagerness surged instantly.
This is not only to obtain a powerful Spirit Ring, but also a direct test of the teacher's training results!
He immediately straightened his back and replied loudly:
"Yes, Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San no longer hesitated.
He closed his eyes slightly to concentrate, then raised his hand, and a deep blue light emanated from his palm.
"Blue Silver Grass, appear!"
Immediately, dozens of thick Blue Silver Grass vines, like snakes emerging from their holes, spread out swiftly and silently along the ground, precisely avoiding surface debris and burrowing straight into the soil beneath the Seven-Heart Spirit Vine.
Tang San was completely focused, sensing the distribution and direction of the underground root system through the close connection between his Martial Soul and his own spiritual power.
His manipulation was exquisite; the Blue Silver Grass vines skillfully Entanglement and secured the vast, intricate root network of the Seven-Heart Spirit Vine.
A moment later, the ground in front of them began to tremble noticeably and rhythmically.
On the open ground next to the Starry Sky Tree, a mound of earth rose rapidly, and the soil churned up.
"Rise!"
Tang San let out a low shout, and his Soul Power surged.
With a muffled "plop," a massive clump of roots, tangled in soil and a deep blue-green color, was forcibly pulled from the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
At the heart of the root system, amidst countless fine roots, a single, extremely bright, constantly pulsating emerald green spot stands out, radiating a pure and rich life force.
Fu Shiyan spoke at the opportune moment, her voice clearly reaching Tang San's ears:
"See that, Xiao San? That green dot is its ' Life Core '."
"As long as the core remains intact, even if it is shattered into pieces, given time, it can absorb energy and regenerate. This is the source of its 'immortality'."
His tone shifted to certainty as he said, "Now, end it, and then absorb the Spirit Ring that belongs to you."
Tang San's gaze locked onto the emerald green light, and he nodded emphatically.
He didn't use any Spirit Skill that consumed his Soul Power. Instead, he flipped his wrist and his fingers held several bone-piercing Bone-Piercing Needle that shimmered with a cold, eerie blue light. These were one of the Hidden Weapon he carried with him, coated with paralyzing poison.
A faint purple glint flashed in his eyes, and he lightly waved his arm.
"Whoosh!"
A subtle yet sharp sound rang out, and a cold light arrived in an instant, piercing through the gaps in the roots with perfect precision, striking the constantly pulsating emerald green light spot!
"Pop--"
A soft sound, like a bubble bursting, rang out, and the emerald light suddenly went out, all its radiance receding and dissipating.
At the same time, all the Seven-Heart Spirit Vine Entanglement the Starry Sky Tree instantly lost all vitality, becoming stiff and withered, their emerald green color rapidly fading and turning gray.
A deep purple Spirit Ring slowly condensed and emerged from above the main body of the pulled-out root system. The surface of the Spirit Ring was filled with a halo, showing its nearly four thousand years of pure energy.
Tang San took a deep breath to calm himself down from the excitement of successfully completing the precise operation and about to gain immense power.
He walked to the Spirit Ring, sat cross-legged, focused his mind on the Mysterious Heaven, and activated his Soul Power.
The purple Spirit Ring was drawn in and floated lightly over, slowly landing on Tang San.
In an instant, a powerful yet not violent torrent, carrying a rich life force and strangely resilient energy, surged into Tang San's body.
This energy resonated exceptionally well with his meridians, which had been refined by Immortal Herb and nourished by Whale Rubber, and also strongly echoed with his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
The absorption process lasted for about three hours.
As the sun began to set and the light in the forest turned a soft golden hue, Tang San suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
Beneath him, the deep purple third Spirit Ring pulsed slowly, its light reflecting off the other two Spirit Ring.
He sensed it briefly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill has broken through to the third level, and the Soul Power Level has steadily reached level thirty-three!
But the biggest change is in his Martial Soul!
