Blue Silver Bamboo Dragonfly, Fifth Spirit Ring

"T...Teacher, is this soul skill of mine a dud?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression turned grim, and he nodded in agreement.

But then, as if realizing something, his eyes instantly lit up, and he shook his head once more.

"San, this should be a growth-type soul ring. Once you complete your trials and receive the rewards later, this soul ring will be able to improve."

"For now, we need to see if this soul skill is suitable for you."

Hearing this, Tang San suddenly understood.

"That's right, as long as I complete the trials, the age of this soul ring can also be increased."

Thinking of this, Tang San's heart grew fervent once again.

He wanted to see exactly what kind of soul skill that Jinx had bestowed upon him.

No sooner said than done, Tang San immediately lit up his Third Soul Ring.

"Third Soul Skill: Blue Silver Bamboo Dragonfly!"

As several stalks of Blue Silver Grass converged before him, their roots intertwined to quickly form a small propeller, with the base of the propeller connected by Blue Silver Grass roots.

"Hiss, what is the use of this thing?"

Having witnessed the entire process, Yu Xiaogang fell into deep thought once again; with his discernment, he could not see any use for this contraption at all.

Under Gangzi's puzzled gaze, Tang San quietly placed the Bamboo Dragonfly on the crown of his head.

Then, the propeller began to rotate silently.

And, to Gangzi's astonishment, Tang San slowly rose into the sky.

"Flight, it's actually a flight ability!"

The effect brought by a ten-year soul ring was still too weak; Tang San only flew for a few dozen seconds before the soul power contained within it was completely exhausted.

Tang San's reaction was extremely quick, and he landed steadily after a 360-degree turn in the air.

Seeing this, Gangzi excitedly rushed to Tang San's side.

"San, it truly is worthy of being a God-Bestowed Soul Ring."

"You must know that apart from flight-type soul masters, only Title Douluo powerhouses can fly through the air. This means that what this soul ring has given you is a soul skill with an effect equivalent to a soul ring over eighty thousand years old."

"Is... is that so?"

"But Teacher, it's useless for me to fly for only a few dozen seconds at such a slow speed!"

"San, you are confused! The soul ring is only ten years old right now, so of course the effect is lackluster!"

"Once the age increases in the future, the duration and speed will definitely see an explosive increase."

Hearing this, a sharp glint suddenly burst forth from Tang San's eyes; he naturally understood the implications.

From this day on, he could also be called a flight-type soul master.

Combined with his hidden weapons that were impossible to guard against, the power would definitely not be underestimated.

"I understand, Teacher. I will complete the trials even more diligently when we return."

After absorbing the soul ring, the master and disciple, filled with expectations for the future, headed back toward Nuoding City.

Meanwhile, far away in Suotuo City, Ma Hongjun and Dugu Yan in Heaven Dou City were still struggling to complete their own trial tasks.

Ma Hongjun went without saying; five times in a row, he had received the trial of "Absolute Calm."

And Dai Mubai had also fallen into a cooling-off period lasting nearly half a year.

Dai Mubai's hatred for Ma Hongjun now even exceeded his hatred for Dai Weisi.

On the other side, Dugu Yan had rented a basement in Heaven Dou City.

At the same time, she had spent money to buy one thousand rats and released them into the basement.

Watching the thousand rats scurrying around the room and emitting ear-piercing noises, Dugu Yan's teeth were chattering.

"Grand... Grandfather, why don't we just give up!"

"Yan-yan, it's just living with rats for a week; grit your teeth and it will pass."

"Think about the rewards after the trial is completed; you will definitely be able to surpass this old man in the future."

Dugu Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her eyes still filled with fear as she looked at the basement again.

The matter dated back to when she received her twelfth trial.

This time, she had received a trial called "Snake and Rat in One Nest."

It required her to eat and live with no fewer than one thousand rats for a week.

For this, she had even called Dugu Bo over to help her with her mental preparation.

Under the expectant gaze of the old man, Dugu Yan hardened her heart and leaped into the basement.

Watching his granddaughter's brave move, Dugu Bo closed the basement door with a gratified expression.

"Good luck, Yan-yan! This old man will come back in a week!"

"I... I... I understand. One week. If you dare to be even a minute late, I will absolutely beat your great-grandchild to a pulp in the future."

"Damn, that's ruthless!"

Hearing his granddaughter's threat, Dugu Bo was instantly dumbfounded, silently mourning in his heart for that great-grandchild who didn't even know where they were yet.

Time flew by, and one day, a month later.

Having received the rewards from several assessments, Lu Xian successfully broke through to level 50. Now, he only needed to bind one more object or one Soul Beast to become a true Spirit King.

A Spirit King at only 15 years old—Lu Xian just wanted to ask who else could compare.

Across the entire Douluo Continent, only Qian Renxue could stand tall; everyone else present was nothing but trash.

Once he reached level 60, even Qian Renxue would have to sit down with the rest of them.

As for his fifth Spirit Ring, Lu Xian already had some ideas.

He planned to find a tiger-type Soul Beast for his fifth ring. If a Soul Beast couldn't become his ring, he would just find an ordinary tiger to serve as one.

As for a tool man, there were plenty ready-made at Shrek Academy.

Action is better than thought. After temporarily closing the Broom Shop once again, Lu Xian rode his broom and headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.

Following Tang San's efforts, his first Spirit Ring had reached the 1,500-year level.

His flight speed had ascended to a new level.

In just one day and night, he successfully arrived at the Soul Hunting Town outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

After replenishing his food and fresh water, Lu Xian dove headfirst into this primeval forest.

It was shameful to admit, but despite his "hard work and diligent" cultivation, even reaching the level of a Spirit King, this was his first time visiting this great forest that no high-level Spirit Master could avoid.

Stepping into the Star Dou Great Forest for the first time, Lu Xian had expected it to be dark and sunless due to the ancient trees blocking the sky everywhere.

However, what lay before his eyes was a flowing sea of stars—countless tiny specks of light suspended in the air, resembling a galaxy.

Coming here alone, Lu Xian naturally couldn't wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.

He quietly activated Spirit Snake Sense, and everything within a hundred-meter radius appeared in his mind in the form of thermal imaging.

Calling himself a human radar was no exaggeration.

But a hundred-meter range was still too small; finding a suitable Soul Beast would still be somewhat difficult.

Releasing his fourth spirit ability, Lu Xian summoned Xiao Qing.

At this moment, Xiao Qing was over three meters long, and both its strength and venom had made significant progress.

Snakes possessed naturally powerful sensory abilities, making it perfectly suited to act as a scout.

"Xiao Qing, go help me find if there are any tiger-type Soul Beasts between a hundred and a thousand years old."

Xiao Qing flicked its tongue, nodded slightly, and then twisted its body, disappearing into the jungle.

Xiao Qing's vision could be fully shared with him; with it, this trip would save him a lot of effort.

Dozens of minutes later, Lu Xian gradually ventured deeper into the forest.

Perhaps because his cultivation had been too comfortable, there wasn't a shred of killing intent on Lu Xian.

All he had was vigilance toward the unknown environment.

And this trait quickly made him a target for certain predators.

When a hundred-year Cloud Leopard appeared before him, Lu Xian was so amused he laughed.

"Do I really look like such a soft persimmon to you?"
