Chapter 99: The 4th Spirit Ring of Ten Thousand Years!
The Thunder Dragon struggled and roared for a while, but in the end, it collapsed powerlessly.
A faint black glow rose from the Thunder Dragon's corpse, proving that its life had completely ended.
The Spirit Ring had already formed, yet Yu Tianlin was in no rush to absorb it. After all, a Spirit Ring could last for an hour before dissipating. He looked at Dugu Bo in shock and said, "Senior, that Spirit Skill was absurdly strong. You actually stopped time!"
"It's not as powerful as you think." Seeing Yu Tianlin's expression, Dugu Bo shook his head. "It has many limitations."
Dugu Bo only mentioned it in passing and did not explain it in detail. Still, after hearing those words, Yu Tianlin finally snapped out of his daze.
Right. How could a Skill like that be truly invincible? It had to have harsh limits.
First, the range was definitely restricted. Second, there should be a control threshold. If the opponent's strength exceeded that limit, they could probably break free. And finally, this was an 8th Spirit Skill, so its Spirit Power consumption would be terrifying.
Even with those limits, Yu Tianlin still said honestly, "It's still the strongest Spirit Skill I've ever seen."
He knew Dugu Bo also had a head Spirit Bone from Medusa, with a petrification ability. If petrification was combined with time freezing, it would be horrifying.
"Enough." Dugu Bo cut him off. "Stop thinking about that. I'll guard you while you absorb the Spirit Ring."
Absorbing a Spirit Ring was what mattered most.
Yu Tianlin stopped talking. After activating Martial Soul possession, he sat cross legged beside the Thunder Dragon's corpse and guided the ten thousand year Spirit Ring down.
The ring immediately floated above his head. Then, black energy poured into him like rivers returning to the sea.
A ten thousand year Spirit Ring really was different. The power was immense. Yu Tianlin felt as if he had been swallowed by a black ocean. Every inch of his body was flooded by the ring's energy, and a faint swelling pain rose from deep within.
Fortunately, he had already absorbed Spirit Rings beyond his level twice. The discomfort did not stop him. He quickly circulated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's cultivation method, refining the Spirit Ring energy into his own Spirit Power.
Just as the absorption was going smoothly, an unexpected change erupted.
Inside Yu Tianlin's mental world, a phantom image of the Thunder Dragon's head appeared, then let out a deafening roar.
The roar shook his spiritual sea. For a moment, his mind trembled. But his mental strength was already solid, and he stabilized himself almost instantly.
This was the Spirit Shock left behind by a ten thousand year Spirit Beast after death.
Fortunately, I prepared for this and raised my mental strength. Otherwise, getting hit like this at the critical moment of absorption would have been dangerous.
Yu Tianlin endured the first shock, but the Thunder Dragon did not stop. It roared again, crazier than before.
It had been sleeping peacefully in its territory when a human Spirit Master suddenly attacked. That human was far stronger than it, leaving it no chance to escape. If it had died to the stronger one, that would have been one thing, but it had been killed by the weaker one instead.
Resentment turned into rage.
Now, its remaining will frantically slammed into Yu Tianlin's mental world.
Yu Tianlin guarded his spiritual sea firmly. He seized every opening to clash with the Thunder Dragon's remnant soul power, grinding it down again and again. Before long, the Thunder Dragon's remnant will finally weakened.
The body was already dead. How could such a thin trace of soul power truly overturn anything?
The trembling sensation in his soul faded, until it vanished completely. Yu Tianlin knew he had successfully overcome the Spirit Shock.
With the mental danger resolved, he refocused fully on absorbing the Spirit Ring. The energy of a ten thousand year Spirit Ring was vast, and it would take time.
3 hours passed before Yu Tianlin finally completed the absorption.
After taking in the Thunder Dragon's Spirit Ring, Yu Tianlin's height grew again. At only 11 and a half years old, he was already 1.7 meters tall, with a lean but strong frame. Aside from a slight youthful softness in his face, he looked almost like an adult.
Unfortunately, even after absorbing this Spirit Ring, he was still only at the stage of full body dragon transformation, far from achieving the twin wing dragon transformation. After all, this Thunderous Dragon was only around ten thousand years old, and the dragon power it provided was not enough to push him that far.
However, his rank did change.
Absorbing a Spirit Ring beyond his limit directly boosted him by 2 ranks, raising Yu Tianlin to level 42.
As Yu Tianlin's memories of the past became clearer, he recalled something. If he remembered correctly, Tang San had only risen by 1 rank when absorbing a ten thousand year Spirit Ring at level 40.
Yu Tianlin guessed it was because Tang San absorbed it using the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The pool's power helped disperse part of the Spirit Ring's energy, allowing Tang San's body to endure it. But every advantage carried a price. That same dissipation likely reduced how much energy could be converted into Spirit Power, so Tang San only gained 1 rank.
Either way, Yu Tianlin was already defying the heavens.
At 11 and a half years old, level 42. Even 10,000 years from now, no one would match that speed.
Seeing Yu Tianlin finish, Dugu Bo waved his hand. A surge of emerald green mist spread out and enveloped the Thunder Dragon's corpse. In moments, it corroded everything into a foul pool of pus.
"No Spirit Bone dropped." Spirit Bones were rare, so Dugu Bo was not surprised. "Let's go. We can return now."
The two left Sunset Forest and headed toward Heaven Dou City. By the time they arrived, the sun had already set.
On the way, because of that location where dragon power overflowed, Yu Tianlin asked Dugu Bo if he could bring the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Dugu Bo considered it and agreed.
His poisoning problem had been resolved. He no longer needed to rely on the Yin Yang Well's aura to suppress his poison. Besides, after Yu Tianlin's harvesting spree, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was in a miserable state, with no medicinal herbs left. It no longer meant anything to him. If Yu Tianlin wanted to bring people there, then so be it.
In the original story, Tang San took over Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without even asking. Yu Tianlin, at least, had asked for his opinion.
After that, under Dugu Bo's lead, the two arrived at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
Yu Tianlin had thought Dugu Bo would take him straight back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but instead, they came here.
The moment they entered, the atmosphere was boiling. Cheers and shouts surged like waves, filling the arena.
Walking ahead, Dugu Bo said without looking back, "Yan Yan and the others formed a Royal Battle Team. They come here to fight every night."
Yu Tianlin nodded. He already knew that.
Just then, a black figure flashed past and appeared in front of him. "Young Master Tianlin, I finally found you."
Yu Tianlin narrowed his eyes and recognized the man at once.
It was Zuo Jianping.
