Chapter 161: Everyone Gathers
Even after hearing Yu Tianlin's words, Chao Tianxiang still asked uncertainly, "Is this Human Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring really beyond its limit?"
"The Human Faced Demon Spider's legs are 3 meters long, which means its cultivation has reached 2,000 years." Yu Tianlin glanced at her. "The top 10 advanced Spirit Master academies in the Heaven Dou Empire should all teach this. It's compulsory course material. Don't you 2 seniors know that?"
"Cough, cough."
Hearing that, the couple could not help coughing, looking a little embarrassed.
They had started as commoner Spirit Masters, brought together by their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Even though they later became famous, founded a sect, and even funded the establishment of Beast Academy, their foundation was still shallow. Their understanding of many things was not precise. That was also why, even though Beast Academy was an advanced Spirit Master academy, it still ranked rather low within the Heaven Dou Empire.
Sometimes, they judged a Spirit Beast's cultivation purely by the strength of its aura. When they did that, mistakes were inevitable.
If this kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is right, then the Human Faced Demon Spider in front of us has legs over 3 meters long. Its cultivation is obviously above 2,000 years. In that case, Yi Ran truly can't absorb it. If so, then he really did help us.
But it might not be true either. It was possible this Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan brat was simply fooling them.
For a moment, Meng Shu hesitated.
Then, Tang San suddenly let out a muffled groan, drawing everyone's attention.
Fine beads of blood began to seep from the surface of his skin. Under the evaporation of Spirit Power, the blood droplets turned into a faint red mist that wrapped around him.
Inside that mist, Tang San's body began to convulse. At times, cracking sounds rang out from his bones.
"He really is absorbing a Spirit Ring beyond his level."
Seeing Tang San's condition, Meng Shu finally confirmed it, and his expression immediately changed.
Good heavens! No wonder he's Clear Sky Douluo's son. He's a madman just like his father. He actually dared to absorb a Spirit Ring that exceeded his limit. At this rate, he was likely to explode and die.
This place is not safe. It's best to leave quickly.
Worried about being implicated, Meng Shu ignored his pride and spoke bluntly. "I won't pursue the matter of the Human Faced Demon Spider. We did not force Tang San to absorb this Spirit Ring. If anything happens to him, it has nothing to do with us."
"Let's go."
After saying that, Meng Shu turned and left with his wife and granddaughter. Meng Yiran was still unwilling, but this time Meng Shu was unusually firm. He did not indulge her temper at all, and forced her away.
"Those 3 are finally gone." Yu Tianlin let out a breath.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu's presence had put heavy pressure on him, especially with the couple's reputation and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Yu Tianlin was confident he could escape if he truly had to, but that would inevitably expose his Spirit Bone. Even then, it would be hard to protect both Ning Rongrong and Tang San.
"Yu Tianlin, is Tang San really absorbing a Spirit Ring beyond his level?" Ning Rongrong frowned as she stared at Tang San, shrouded in blood mist. "He's in serious danger right now."
"Looks scary, but he can handle it." Yu Tianlin did not worry about Tang San.
It would be absurd if Tang San could not even withstand a 2,000 year Spirit Ring and actually died from his body exploding.
Since Yu Tianlin insisted Tang San would be fine, Ning Rongrong stopped pressing. Too many things had happened since they separated, and Yu Tianlin had dealt with every one of them. That gave her confidence in his judgment. She quickly shifted to another question.
"Shouldn't Tang San be with Teacher Zhao and the others? Why is he here alone? Where are Teacher Zhao and the others?"
"If I'm not wrong, they've already arrived." Yu Tianlin's ears twitched as he caught movement from afar. He immediately looked in that direction.
Sure enough, figures rushed over at high speed. It was Zhao Wuji and the rest of the group, but Xiao Wu was not among them.
"Yu Tianlin, Ning Rongrong, you're here too."
When everyone met again, there was another wave of surprise and excitement. They quickly exchanged what had happened after they split up.
"What? Xiao Wu was taken by the Titan Giant Ape?" Ning Rongrong's expression changed at once. She turned to look at Yu Tianlin.
"That's right." Yu Tianlin nodded. "The one that attacked us should be the Titan Giant Ape. That attack carried powerful earth attribute fluctuations. It's definitely it."
Ning Rongrong said anxiously, "If Xiao Wu was taken by something that terrifying, wouldn't that be horrible?"
"Don't worry. Xiao Wu is lucky. She'll be fine," Yu Tianlin said to comfort her.
Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape are in on it together. She's perfectly safe.
Seeing everyone still looked tense, Yu Tianlin changed the topic. "Oscar, have you obtained your 3rd Spirit Ring yet?"
"Not yet." Oscar gave a bitter smile. "We've been separated for less than a day. How could it be that fast?"
"I already killed that Phoenix tailed Crested Serpent." Yu Tianlin patted Oscar's shoulder. "But it's fine. On the way back, I saw a few decent Spirit Beasts that should suit you. After Tang San's situation is resolved, we'll go together and help you get your Spirit Ring."
When Tang San was mentioned, Zhao Wuji's expression darkened. "Tang San was far too reckless, absorbing a Spirit Ring beyond his level. If something happens, how am I supposed to explain it to dean?"
"Teacher Zhao, there's no point worrying now." Yu Tianlin said evenly. "Since it's already come to this, Tang San can only rely on himself."
"I hope so." Zhao Wuji was in a terrible mood. They had come out with so many people, only to lose 1 and have another on the verge of danger.
Just then, faint footsteps sounded in the distance.
Zhao Wuji's eyes turned cold. Without hesitation, he released his Spirit Power pressure and shouted, "Who's there?"
A startled voice immediately answered, "Teacher Zhao, it's me! Xiao Wu!"
"Xiao Wu?"
Everyone froze.
Zhao Wuji reacted first, quickly withdrawing his pressure. A slender figure rushed out of the woods.
It was Xiao Wu.
"Oh, Yu Tianlin and Rongrong are here too, that's great!" Xiao Wu's gaze swept over everyone, then landed on Tang San, who was still sitting cross legged. "What happened to Xiao San? It's foggy, it's blood…"
"Tang San is absorbing his 3rd Spirit Ring," Zhao Wuji explained, still feeling strange inside. "It's beyond his level."
Despite all the sudden disasters on this trip, everyone was together again now. As long as Tang San could endure this 3rd Spirit Ring, everything would be fine.
