Plot Changes, Tang San Helplessly Absorbs a Ten-Year Spirit Ring

Hearing Tang San's laughter, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed in a flash.

"Tang San, my right arm is severed. Are you happy about that?"

Tang San hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no."

"I am not happy."

"Hahahaha..."

Yu Xiaogang sternly rebuked him, "Then why are you still laughing!"

"What are you laughing at!"

Tang San's expression suddenly froze. He didn't even know why he had wanted to laugh just now.

It was that kind of uncontrollable laughter, and it even felt like it came from the bottom of his heart.

Now, suddenly, he didn't want to laugh anymore.

His brain raced, "Foster father, it's because I saved you and you are alright, so I was happy and laughed."

Hearing Tang San say this, Yu Xiaogang's expression improved slightly, though he clearly didn't quite believe it. "Is that so?"

"Of course it is."

"Forget it. Since the matter has already occurred, I won't say anything more."

Yu Xiaogang extended his only remaining left arm and waved it.

"Regardless, you did save me."

"Now that I am in this state, there is no way for me to hunt any high-level Spirit Ring for you."

"Do you remember the Lone Bamboo we encountered when we first entered the Soul Hunting Forest?"

Hearing the words Lone Bamboo, Ye Lin was stunned for a moment.

Choosing the Lone Bamboo?

She had originally thought that was just a throwaway character, but now it had actually become a protagonist?

Tang San recalled what had happened earlier, "At the time, foster father, you said if there were no better options, it would be that one."

Yu Xiaogang nodded, "Now, there are clearly no better options."

"Pack up simply, let's retreat. It is still somewhat dangerous here after all."

"Alright, foster father."

Tang San carried all the packs on his own and walked slowly toward the exit of the Soul Hunting Forest. He was as exhausted as a dog, but he could only endure it silently. After all, it was he who had severed Yu Xiaogang's right arm.

Furthermore, there had been no need to sever it at all. That scene echoed in his mind from time to time, like a nightmare.

One day later, the three of them easily found that ten-year-old Lone Bamboo.

"Do it,"

Yu Xiaogang said slowly, "The resilience of the Lone Bamboo is very suitable for your Blue Silver Grass."

"And a ten-year Lone Bamboo has no offensive power. Just use your short sword to cut it down."

"Alright, foster father," Tang San replied. He gripped his short sword and quickly stepped forward. With a single swing, the towering Lone Bamboo fell to the ground, just like an ordinary stalk of bamboo being cut down, without causing any major disturbance.

The spirit power at the base of the Lone Bamboo slowly rose, condensing into a white Spirit Ring in the air.

"Sit cross-legged, guide the spirit power, and focus your mind on your Martial Soul!"

Yu Xiaogang commanded in a deep voice.

Under the guidance of Tang San's spirit power, that white Spirit Ring quickly settled onto the Blue Silver Grass on Tang San's right hand, and he began to absorb it slowly.

"Sigh,"

Seeing this situation, Yu Xiaogang let out a soft sigh.

He had originally hoped for Tang San to prove his theories, but now there was no way to prove them.

However, fortunately, Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls. Even if the first Martial Soul absorbed only ten-year Spirit Rings, the second Martial Soul could still forge Tang San into a top-tier powerhouse.

Moreover, the Blue Silver Grass was a trash Martial Soul to begin with, and he still had his future disciple, Ye Lin.

Although Ye Lin did not want to take him as a master, he would make her do so sooner or later.

Ye Lin had absorbed the Martial Soul of the Datura Snake, so thinking about it that way, it wasn't a loss.

Although Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat depressed, Tang San was very excited. As long as he could possess a Spirit Ring, who cared if it was a hundred-year or a ten-year one?

The Spirit Ring of the ten-year Lone Bamboo was not strong.

Tang San's absorption speed was very fast.

In just five or six minutes, he finished the absorption. After the Spirit Ring was absorbed, his Mysterious Heaven Skill, which had long been stuck, finally broke through its first-level bottleneck.

This made him ecstatic. Sure enough, the bottleneck of the Mysterious Heaven Skill lay in the Spirit Ring.

Now, the development direction of the Mysterious Heaven Skill was finally clear. As long as he had the Mysterious Heaven Skill and his Hidden Weapon, that would be enough.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully altering Tang San's plot, causing him to absorb a ten-year Lone Bamboo Spirit Ring. Reward: one 500-year Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Card, reward: 100 points.]

"This is quite an unexpected joy,"

A smile appeared on Ye Lin's face, her chest rising and falling slightly.

Counting the 100 points gained from Tang San severing Yu Xiaogang's right arm, the 200 points she had previously spent had all been returned in one go.

Not only did she not lose anything, but she actually profited.

She had earned an additional 500-year Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Card.

Ye Lin began to calculate.

After using the two Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Cards, the age of her first Spirit Ring would be 1,932 years; Yu Xiaogang's theoretical maximum limit wasn't even as much as this fraction!

Moreover, a thousand-year Spirit Ring would provide a massive boost to her strength.

Seeing Tang San let out a long breath, Yu Xiaogang asked him, "San, did you succeed?"

"Yes," Tang San replied. Blue Silver Grass unfurled on his right palm, the grass now featuring a few green, bamboo-joint patterns and appearing slightly wider than before, resembling a standing stalk of bamboo.

A white Spirit Ring rose beneath his feet, proving that he had become a true Spirit Master.

"What is your first spirit skill?"

Yu Xiaogang asked with a hint of anticipation.

"Blue Silver Entanglement,"

Tang San said quickly. His first Spirit Ring flashed, and the Blue Silver Grass on his right hand grew rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the Blue Silver Grass transformed into a long, bamboo-shaped vine that coiled tightly around the trunk of a thick tree in front of him.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, "It's much like I thought. It can control the target; if you can have a Power Attack Spirit Master coordinate with you, your combat effectiveness will increase significantly."

"Furthermore, the toughness of the Lone Bamboo is quite good. Unless the opponent's Soul Power Level is two Spirit Rings higher than yours, it is absolutely impossible for them to break free."

His gaze fell upon Ye Lin, "You absorbed the Datura Snake Spirit Ring. I wonder what your spirit skill is?"

He was somewhat curious.

"Blade Thrust,"

Ye Lin said indifferently. She grabbed with her right hand, and the Immortal Sword was held in her grip. A yellow Spirit Ring rose beneath her feet.

As her first Spirit Ring flashed, Ye Lin thrust the long sword in her hand forward, lunging ahead violently. A green dragon-head phantom manifested at the tip of the Immortal Sword and bit down, striking directly onto the towering tree that Tang San had just entangled.

"Boom!"

A loud, thunderous crash erupted from the tree, followed immediately by a sharp crack as it snapped in the middle and collapsed heavily, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

The birds perched in the surrounding trees were instantly startled and flew off in all directions.

Within the dust, the Blue Silver Vine that Tang San had just released was quickly retracted. The end was cut perfectly flat, clearly severed by the sword energy of the Blade Thrust.

Yu Xiaogang had just said that it was impossible to break free unless the opponent was two Spirit Rings higher, yet it had just been severed by Ye Lin, who was also a one-ring Spirit Master.

Who could have imagined that the slap to the face would come so quickly?

Ye Lin held the Immortal Sword and slashed diagonally downward, parting the dust before her to reveal her face.
