Although the whale glue's primary effect was to improve physical fitness, this did not mean it had no effect on spirit power whatsoever.
Under normal circumstances, such an improvement could indeed be ignored, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was, after all, a Beast God, and Jiang Xing was just a guy who didn't even have one level of spirit power.
Even a tiny bit of his whale glue was enough to greatly increase Jiang Xing's spirit power.
In Mo Hui's eyes, the spirit power Jiang Xing had accumulated had long exceeded level twenty; it just hadn't manifested because he hadn't obtained a spirit ring yet.
Mo Hui watched Jiang Xing's conflicted expression and was not in a hurry to urge him, as under normal circumstances, a spirit ring, once attached, could not be reversed, so it naturally needed to be chosen with utmost caution.
Furthermore, the three Spirit Abilities Mo Hui gave Jiang Xing were all carefully considered by Mo Hui, subtly implying three different development paths.
The choice was whether to develop one of the Wind Attribute or Thunder Attribute, or to develop both Wind and Thunder Attributes together.
Each choice had its advantages; the Wind Attribute was Mo Hui's most familiar attribute, so if Jiang Xing chose to follow the Wind Attribute path, Mo Hui could naturally provide him with the most support.
The Thunder Attribute was currently a stronger attribute within Jiang Xing's Spirit, and with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King laying the foundation for Jiang Xing, he might be able to gradually elevate his Spirit to the level of Extreme Thunder in the future.
While the dual Wind-Thunder Attributes had the highest potential, the path ahead was also the most difficult, as it required mastering both attributes simultaneously, demanding too much time and energy, which could potentially lead to a divided focus that impacts ultimate achievement.
"Master, this disciple chooses the first one, Wind-Thunder Slash!"
After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Xing placed his hand on the first Wind-Thunder Slash, his gaze firm as he spoke.
Upon hearing Jiang Xing's choice, Mo Hui said with some surprise, "Are you sure? Choosing Wind-Thunder Slash means you'll have to cultivate both attributes simultaneously. Do you have enough confidence in yourself?"
"This disciple is certain!"
Jiang Xing said resolutely, "Since I've embarked on the path of a Spirit Master, then naturally I must become the strongest! Only then will I live up to the title of your disciple, Master."
During his time at Wind Thunder Pavilion, he had heard that his Master was the strongest in the previous Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, hailed as the number one genius who crushed his peers.
As his Master's disciple, he naturally couldn't embarrass his Master too much; even if he couldn't catch up to his Master, he at least couldn't be too bad, right?
Incidentally, in the previous Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Shenfeng Academy still claimed the final victory.
Although their final opponent, Spirit Hall, was still strong, they were clearly not as formidable as the Golden Generation of the previous tournament, with only one Spirit King at level fifty-one.
Shenfeng Academy, on the other hand, had two Spirit Kings, and a host of peak Spirit Ancestors at levels forty-eight and forty-nine. It could be said that if Mo Hui and Feng Xiaotian, those two anomalies, were excluded, Shenfeng Academy actually became even stronger.
It can only be said that the atmosphere of an academy truly has a significant impact on it.
"Since you have decided, then this Wind-Thunder Slash Spirit Ability scroll is yours."
After confirming that Jiang Xing had truly made up his mind, Mo Hui put away the other two Spirit Ability scrolls and then handed the Wind-Thunder Slash scroll to Jiang Xing.
If Wind Scythe and Thunder Flash each had unique mechanisms, then Wind-Thunder Slash was the ultimate in raw power; a ten-thousand-year-level Wind-Thunder Slash, under the mutual interaction of two elements, possessed power comparable to a thirty-thousand-year Spirit Ability.
Under the overwhelming power, even a pure defense-type Spirit Master of the same level, without the assistance of a powerful support Spirit Master like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, would only face the outcome of their defense shattering if struck.
"Thank you, Master, for fulfilling my wish!"
Jiang Xing took the scroll belonging to Wind-Thunder Slash, bowed to Mo Hui, then quickly opened the scroll and began to observe it carefully.
Thanks to Mo Hui's teachings, knowledge of spirit power circuits, which was understood by only a very small number of people elsewhere, was already clear to Jiang Xing.
Although the spirit power circuits on the scroll before him were very complex and intricate, they were still much simpler compared to learning Delta Airflow.
Therefore, after spending a little time, Jiang Xing quickly memorized all the spirit power circuits on the scroll.
"Have you remembered it clearly?" Mo Hui inquired.
"Replying to Master, this disciple has firmly committed it to memory!" Jiang Xing replied.
Mo Hui nodded slightly and said, "Very good, sit cross-legged, fully unleash Delta Airflow, and concentrate on the spirit power circuits of Wind-Thunder Slash in your mind!"
Subsequently, under Mo Hui's guidance, Jiang Xing sat cross-legged, activated Delta Airflow, and began to condense his first spirit ring.
Although Jiang Xing's Delta Airflow was still very rudimentary, it was Delta Airflow after all, and in the Wind God Space, where Wind Attribute energy almost solidified, he could still obtain a large amount of energy.
In just a few minutes, a white, ten-year spirit ring appeared around Jiang Xing.
And as time continued to pass, this white, ten-year spirit ring quickly turned yellow, a hundred-year spirit ring, and its color deepened, moving towards the thousand-year purple spirit ring.
Mo Hui cultivated while observing Jiang Xing with his divine force, ready to intervene at any time if an unexpected situation arose.
"I wonder what Jiang Xing's current limit is. According to my estimation, Jiang Xing's physical fitness can completely withstand a ten-thousand-year spirit ring; it just depends on whether his mental force can withstand a ten-thousand-year spirit ring."
Mo Hui observed his second disciple with his divine force while secretly thinking to himself.
Similar to absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring produced by a Spirit Beast, condensing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring also required mental force. However, Mo Hui believed that with the level of willpower Jiang Xing had displayed, he could absolutely complete the condensation of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
As for the physical aspect, there was even less to worry about.
Not only did Mo Hui use the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's whale glue to shape Jiang Xing's body, but he also conducted extensive special training on Jiang Xing's body during this short period. Jiang Xing's body was now stronger than Mo Hui's was at level fifty, so there was no need to worry about his body being unable to withstand it.
Approximately several hours later, the spirit ring around Jiang Xing's body had completely turned black, becoming a ten-thousand-year spirit ring!
And after the spirit ring around his body turned black, Jiang Xing's originally trembling body gradually calmed down, no longer showing the painful expression he had when breaking through to ten thousand years.
"It's already ten thousand years; my efforts during this period were not in vain."
Seeing this scene, Mo Hui couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
A ten-thousand-year first spirit ring—this was a treatment he himself hadn't received back then. Under normal circumstances, even with whale glue fully utilized, it would be impossible to achieve a ten-thousand-year first spirit ring.
Jiang Xing being able to achieve a ten-thousand-year first spirit ring was a complete miracle, and the source of this miracle was the million-year whale glue provided by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
