"Explosive Flame Heavy Fist, a fire-type ability?"

After listening to Zhao Wuji's introduction, Wang Chuan frowned almost imperceptibly, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes, though he wasn't surprised by the result.

This was because spirit bones from different parts of the body usually provided spirit skills with specific orientations.

If the Dragon-Headed Jackal King had dropped a skull spirit bone, that part would symbolize mental attributes.

Then, there would have been a high probability that Zhao Wuji would have inherited a mental attack spirit skill similar to his own Roaring Dragon Rage, while also gaining a boost to his Mental Power.

As for a torso spirit bone, since this part of the spirit bone is usually the largest of the same rank, the amplification is also the greatest.

At the same time, because this part of the spirit bone is the largest, it might contain more of certain things, and the spirit skills obtained are often the trump card techniques of the spirit beast itself.

As for the limb spirit bones, the amplification effects are similar to the torso spirit bone; they both enhance the user, but the effects are weaker, and the spirit skills are often strange and varied.

Since Zhao Wuji's Explosive Flame Heavy Fist left arm bone was neither a skull spirit bone nor a torso bone.

Then, unless it was a spirit bone formed by the Dragon-Headed Jackal King's voluntary sacrifice, the spirit skill inside would most likely only be a common spirit skill of the Dragon-Headed Jackal King.

For example, this Explosive Flame Heavy Fist was clearly formed from one of the Dragon-Headed Jackal King's secondary spirit skills.

However, although Wang Chuan looked down on this spirit skill, Zhao Wuji was quite satisfied, because this fire ability made up for his flaw of having a single-dimensional attack style.

As for the issue of mismatched attributes?

In Zhao Wuji's view, that wasn't an issue at all. Spirit bones were rare items to begin with; the fact that Wang Chuan was willing to give it to him already made him feel moved beyond words!

Wang Chuan's thoughts were similar; he certainly knew that this spirit bone likely didn't match Zhao Wuji's attributes.

But in this era, there were very few Title Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent who could assemble a full set of spirit bones, so one should just be happy to have a usable spirit bone.

The reason Wang Chuan gave the spirit bone to Zhao Wuji was mainly because he valued the physical enhancement effect, which would further strengthen Zhao Wuji's martial arts capabilities, so that he wouldn't be beaten so miserably in the future when he needed him to act as his protector.

Yeah, that was it.

Besides that, in Wang Chuan's view, mismatched spirit bone attributes weren't a big deal.

Once Ah Yin sacrificed herself later and Zhao Wuji had a new, suitable spirit bone, he could just take out the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and exploit the spirit bone mechanism's bug.

At that time, he could just chop off Zhao Wuji's arm and let it grow back, and then he would be able to absorb a new spirit bone.

As for whether stealing things like this was immoral?

How could a Spirit Master's business be called stealing!

This is called: treasures of heaven and earth belong to those with virtue!

At worst, he could just show some kindness later and plant Ah Yin for Tang Hao again.

Although Tang Hao, who planted Ah Yin in that kind of place, would most likely not thank him.

However, Wang Chuan was looking forward to seeing what kind of fun there would be then~

Facing the Ah Yin who knew the truth, would Tang God King choose his father or his mother in the future?

Stay tuned.

Wang Chuan shook his head, casting those messy thoughts out of his mind, and then looked at Zhao Wuji.

"So, have you decided which spirit beast you want to hunt for your fourth Spirit Ring?"

Clearly, not only had Wang Chuan been collecting information on suitable spirit beasts over these four years, but Zhao Wuji had as well, which was why he asked such a multiple-choice style question.

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji immediately snapped out of his excited state.

He fell into silence, looking at Wang Chuan and then at his own body, which was filled with explosive power, looking quite conflicted.

Seeing this, Wang Chuan patted Zhao Wuji on the shoulder in annoyance.

"Why are you dawdling? If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Well, Boss, do you think I could absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for my fourth ring?"

Zhao Wuji asked tentatively.

Wang Chuan's expression was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected Zhao Wuji to be thinking about this.

Immediately, Wang Chuan fell silent.

The reason Wang Chuan dared to try attaching a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for his second ring was that the Haki, body, and mind he cultivated were indispensable to each other, forming a relationship of mutual achievement.

And since he could briefly contend with Zephyr, he naturally didn't worry about being unable to take down a mere ten-thousand-year spirit beast; in fact, when pushed to the limit before, he had even dared to try things beyond his expectations.

But Zhao Wuji was different. Although he also possessed a superhuman body, Wang Chuan hadn't taught him the cultivation of Haki, which meant that Zhao Wuji was likely about the same as a normal Spirit Master in terms of mental strength.

It wasn't that Wang Chuan didn't want to teach him, but that he previously felt it wasn't necessary.

Because Spirit Masters in this Douluo Continent would have a defensive effect similar to Haki as long as they activated their True Body Armor.

If they put in more effort to train, they could barely imitate things like flow, emission, and internal destruction.

The most critical problem was that the cultivation of Armament Haki required clashing against strong opponents to constantly challenge one's limits, which was the only way to make continuous progress.

But all these years, Wang Chuan had either been hunting spirit beasts or cooking them; where would he find the time to feed Zhao Wuji moves and help him cultivate Armament Haki?

As for letting Zhao Wuji master the basics of Armament Haki himself and then finding a mountain to practice hard alone?

Although Wang Chuan had previously acknowledged Zhao Wuji, he was no saint; he had recruited Zhao Wuji simply to work for him.

Therefore, there was no way he would receive such treatment.

However, now that the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone had been gifted and Zhao Wuji had fully earned his approval, Wang Chuan began to consider whether he should start teaching Zhao Wuji Armament Haki.

Then, he could find some Spirit Beasts and use Roaring Dragon Rage to test what the general standard for the Mental Power of a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast was.

Once Zhao Wuji reached a point where he wouldn't be roared to death in an instant, he could then attach a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring as his fourth.

Seeing that Wang Chuan had been lost in thought for quite a while without answering his question, Zhao Wuji assumed his inquiry had been too presumptuous and immediately wanted to drop the matter.

But Wang Chuan suddenly spoke up.

"I don't know if you can handle it; I need to verify a few things first.

However, Old Zhao, attaching a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring as your fourth is no easy task."

As he said this, Wang Chuan clenched his right fist, and visible Armament Haki covered it, displaying a heavy, metallic texture.

"This requires powerful Mental Power as a foundation.

And the mysteries of Mental Power lie within this Self-Created Soul Skill of mine, called Armament Haki.

Are you prepared to accept my tempering?"

Wang Chuan's tone was indifferent, yet to Zhao Wuji's ears, it sounded like a booming bell, leaving him completely stunned.

Having spent so many years together, and with Wang Chuan making no effort to hide it, Zhao Wuji naturally knew of the existence of Armament Haki, and he had coveted it for a long time.

But he was not Yu Xiaogang; he wouldn't be brainless enough to ask about such a private matter.

Moreover, Wang Chuan had not only helped him hunt for suitable Spirit Rings but also provided him with large amounts of expensive Spirit Beast meat, and had even given him two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones without a moment's hesitation earlier.

And now, he was even taking the initiative to pass on this Self-Created Soul Skill, which was valuable enough to be a family heirloom...

This debt is impossible to repay, truly impossible to repay!

At this moment, this was the only thought in Zhao Wuji's mind.

When Zhao Wuji finally came to his senses and met Wang Chuan's gaze, seeing the gentle smile in his eyes, his heart trembled, and his mindset underwent a earth-shattering change.

Since he couldn't repay it, he simply wouldn't try!

In this life, he, Zhao Wuji, had only one big brother, and that was Wang Chuan!

Loyalty!

At this moment, Zhao Wuji's heart was filled with nothing but infinite reverence for Wang Chuan, and he made up his mind: no matter who Wang Chuan's future enemies might be, he would undoubtedly become Wang Chuan's sharpest spear!
