Under the illumination of the spirit ring's white light, the Blue Silver Grass began to show subtle changes.
The blades widened slightly, but the effect was so subtle that it was barely noticeable without close inspection.
The color change, however, was more noticeable.
From its original light blue, it gradually shifted to a deep blue.
At the same time, the blades retained the unique red veins of the Blood Veined Morning Glory.
Tang San nodded thoughtfully at this.
The veins of the Blood Veined Morning Glory were like this, and this must be the reason for the Blue Silver Grass's changes.
While it was unknown whether its actual combat power had increased,
the Blue Silver Grass at least looked much stronger than before.
"Mysterious Heavenly Art still showing no reaction?"
Tang San discovered that the Mysterious Heavenly Art within him was still at the bottleneck of the first level.
He hadn't experienced any breakthroughs from absorbing the first spirit ring.
This made him a little depressed.
He stood up, breathing in the fresh air.
Absorbing the energy of the first spirit ring had made him feel much more restored.
Although it was impossible for his injuries to heal so quickly,
The previous feeling of extreme exhaustion had indeed subsided considerably.
This was also why Yu Xiaogang had insisted on bringing Tang San to hunt the Blood-Veined Morning Glory.
Without Tang San's strength recovering, the master and disciple might not even be able to leave this Soul Hunting Forest.
As for Gu Xian, Yu Xiaogang had also seen clearly.
That kid didn't seem to have the slightest intention of accepting him as his disciple.
In that case, he might as well focus all his attention on Tang San.
Thus, helping him grow rapidly.
"Xiao San, did you succeed?"
Yu Xiaogang watched Tang San absorb the spirit ring the entire time, and only spoke when he saw it complete.
"Teacher, I succeeded. Don't worry."
Tang San grinned. Although he was somewhat disappointed with the effect of his first spirit ring, he remained cheerful to avoid worrying his teacher.
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a faint blue light emerged.
Deep blue silver grass sprouted from his palm.
The blue silver grass, which originally had only one leaf, now had two.
The red blood veins on the leaf were particularly striking.
A clear white aura rose from Tang San's feet, swirling around his body.
It was Tang San's first spirit ring!
Yu Xiaogang's face also showed a somewhat forced, stiff smile.
A ten-year-level spirit ring, no matter how much you boast about it, has its upper limit.
Yu Xiaogang could only console himself mentally.
"Xiao San, what is your first spirit skill?"
"If my judgment is correct, after fusing with the Blood-Veined Morning Glory's spirit ring, the Blue Silver Grass's toughness will be greatly enhanced."
"Also, Morning Glory naturally has a strong binding power, so your first spirit skill should lean towards that direction."
"Teacher, I think my first spirit skill is called..."
"Blue Silver Death Coil!"
Tang San said thoughtfully.
Blue Silver Death Coil: Using spirit power to control the spirit Blue Silver Grass, entangle the enemy's body, immobilizing them.
"Cough cough cough—~!"
Just then, not far away, Gu Xian suddenly started coughing violently.
Hearing the words "Blue Silver Coil," he almost burst out laughing. He couldn't hold it in any longer.
The master and disciple had been busy for ages, but in the end, their first spirit ring was still a Blue Silver Entanglement.
And it seemed to be a low-end version of Blue Silver Entanglement.
The intense coughing was just a way for him to hide his smile.
"Gu Xian, are you okay?"
Hearing the noise, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze to Gu Xian and asked indifferently.
In his previous conversation with Tang San, he also knew that Gu Xian had also been injured in the fight with the Mandragora Snake.
Of course, this was what Gu Xian had described to Tang San himself.
In reality, he was doing very well now.
Gu Xian waved his hands repeatedly, indicating he was fine.
"Master, I'm fine. I just feel a little tight in my chest."
"Gu Xian, you know my current state. I'm afraid I'm unable to help you obtain a spirit ring."
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang's voice grew weaker again.
Gu Xian sneered inwardly. "You old man, you probably didn't intend to find a spirit ring for me in the first place, did you?"
Yu Xiaogang then returned his attention to Tang San.
"Xiao San, show me your first spirit skill."
"Yes, Master."
Tang San nodded, then used his spirit power to control the blue silver grass and unleash the skill.
Over a dozen strands of blue silver grass burst forth from the ground, quickly wrapping around a nearby tree.
Tighten it!
A hint of disappointment flashed across Yu Xiaogang's eyes, but it wasn't very noticeable.
The Blue Silver Grass tightened its grip, yet it refused to break.
It seemed the Blood-Veined Morning Bloom had granted it considerable resilience.
Just then, a white morning Bloom suddenly blossomed from the Blue Silver Grass.
At the same time, the blood veins on the Blue Silver Grass's branches and leaves shone faintly.
Then, pollen sprayed from the bud.
"Teacher, it seems my Blue Silver Grass has successfully evolved into Blue Silver Flower!"
"The pollen of the Blue Silver Flower has the same toxicity as the Blood-Veined Morning Bloom."
A smile appeared on Tang San's face.
The appearance of the Blue Silver Flower was truly unexpected.
The only pity was that the Blue Silver Flower's pollen was rather weakly toxic.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up. He nodded towards Tang San and then affirmed,
"The effect of your first spirit ring has met expectations."
"You've almost mastered most of the characteristics of a control-type spirit master."
"Generally, a control-type spirit master's role is to restrict their opponent, and your first spirit skill, 'Blue Silver Death Coil,' has exactly that effect."
"Not only does it offer real control, it also has a poisoning effect."
"If you have a strong attacker to work with you, your advantage will be even more pronounced."
So, you've been a support all this time?
Whether Tang San understood or not, Gu Xian beside him certainly did.
In a 1v1 situation, no one would be able to defeat you.
With a powerful opponent nearby, perhaps he could get some assists.
To put it simply, you're a bit stronger than an ordinary person, but not by much.
"That sounds pretty good," Tang San muttered to himself.
After resting for a while, Tang San once again carried Yu Xiaogang on his back and began to walk out of the Soul Hunting Forest.
Under Yu Xiaogang's command, the three of them stopped and started, taking half a day to get out of the Soul Hunting Forest.
Afterwards, they took a carriage back to Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.
This trip to the Soul Hunting Forest had severely damaged Yu Xiaogang's vitality.
Not only had he been poisoned by the potent venom of the Mandragora snake, but he had also lost a kidney.
A full recovery would likely take a year or two.
They returned to school in the morning, when the students were in class.
Tang San carried Yu Xiaogang directly back to Yu Xiaogang's room.
Gu Xian immediately returned to Dormitory 7.
The dormitory was empty. Gu Xian closed the doors and windows and went straight to his bed, sitting cross-legged.
Then he opened the system warehouse.
Looking at the three blind boxes in the warehouse, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up.
