"Yan'er, Grandpa Dugu!"
Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes and said weakly.
"Lin Feng, you almost scared me to death!"
"How could you jump down without saying a word?"
Dugu Yan's eyes were moist as she rushed forward and hugged Lin Feng tightly.
"Oh, Yan'er, I'm fine now!"
Lin Feng was a bit flustered and quickly patted Dugu Yan to comfort her.
"Hmph! You're fine this time."
"What about next time?"
"Lin Feng, when you encounter something you're not confident about."
"Shouldn't I have to teach you the principle of running away first?"
"If something really happened to you this time, what would Yan'er do?"
"How am I supposed to explain it to your parents?"
Dugu Bo, standing by, glared and said grumpily.
"Alright, alright, Grandpa, I get it."
"Next time I encounter something like this, I'll run away immediately."
Lin Feng lowered his head with a forced smile, answering in a weak voice.
Although Lin Feng's injuries had healed, his physical condition was still too poor.
"That's more like it; remember it from now on."
Dugu Yan wiped away her tears, forcing a smile, her voice choked with sobs.
Lin Feng looked at the Flame Spirit Beast's corpse beside him, a black spirit ring floating above it, and didn't rush to absorb it.
Instead, he first took out some herbs and pills from his spirit tool and consumed them.
He began to hold his breath and concentrate, recovering his physical condition.
About fifteen minutes passed.
When Lin Feng woke up again, his body was back to normal.
Lin Feng looked at the spirit ring again.
He clearly knew that he, like Dugu Yan, had to absorb a spirit ring beyond his rank.
A ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast's spirit ring would inevitably subject him to a mental force impact during absorption.
Its power was related to the Spirit Beast's personality.
For example, the spirit ring Dugu Yan absorbed belonged to a relatively gentle Spirit Beast, so the mental force impact wasn't significant.
Coupled with her previous Calamity Poison Body and the Immortal Herb she consumed to improve her physique and mental force, her absorption of the spirit ring was so smooth.
However, the Flame Spirit Beast in front of him was different from the former; it was definitely a naturally bloodthirsty existence, and its mental force impact was extremely tyrannical and powerful.
Relatively speaking, its spirit ring could bring him a huge increase in strength.
But the absorption process would also be much more dangerous.
If he couldn't withstand it, it could lead to a fatal backlash.
At this moment, Lin Feng didn't care about the danger.
He had also consumed an Immortal Herb, and although it wasn't specifically for enhancing physique, it still significantly improved his physical quality.
Over the past six years.
It wasn't as if he hadn't changed terms to improve his physical quality and mental force.
Besides, he was a child of destiny when it came to luck.
This Flame Spirit Beast was even found with the help of the dragon seeking ruler.
As the saying goes, destiny cannot be defied; this Flame Spirit Beast was his fourth spirit ring.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged beside the Spirit Beast's corpse.
At this moment.
A rich black halo glowed brightly on the Flame Spirit Beast's corpse; it was the best time to absorb the spirit ring.
Looking at it, Lin Feng's nerves began to tense up.
Raising his hands, Lin Feng released his ultimate fire, enveloping his entire body, and called out to the Flame Spirit Beast's spirit ring.
The dark light seemed to have been waiting for a long time and finally found an outlet.
As soon as it touched Lin Feng's Spirit, it immediately poured over him like a torrent.
Seeing the dark light completely envelop Lin Feng's body.
Dugu Bo, who was beside him, was also startled; there was such a powerful spirit power fluctuation.
This was an elite Spirit Beast.
This ten-thousand-year spirit ring of the Flame Spirit Beast was even more difficult to absorb than ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit rings.
Lin Feng, enveloped within, felt it even more clearly at this moment.
He only felt a powerful hot current surge into his body.
Before he could react, this hot current released a lava-like fluid within his body, beginning to burn his body.
Although the energy contained within the spirit ring had no consciousness, the Flame Spirit Beast's inherent tyrannical characteristics were something Lin Feng couldn't stop.
Under the powerful mental force impact, Lin Feng only felt as if his body was being torn apart, his brows furrowed in pain.
Dugu Yan looked at Lin Feng's appearance and instinctively began to worry.
She had also absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring before, but nothing like this had happened.
Could Lin Feng endure his current state?
"The energy contained in this Flame Spirit Beast's spirit ring is battling with Lin Feng's original spirit power within his body."
"Now it depends on Lin Feng's own willpower."
"Yan'er, we must believe in Lin Feng."
Dugu Bo said in a deep voice beside her.
He also knew in his heart that the more difficult a spirit ring was to absorb, the stronger the final effect would be.
At this moment, the grandfather and granddaughter held their breath, watching the changes in Lin Feng's body.
The originally yellow flames now revealed a hint of crimson.
Dugu Bo knew that Lin Feng was about to succeed.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's body once again emitted intense fluctuations, and beads of sweat constantly appeared on his forehead.
The energy contained in the black spirit power also gradually evaporated into the air along with the sweat beads on it.
Just then.
With a bang.
The black energy around Lin Feng completely disappeared, replaced by a solidified black spirit ring forming beneath him.
His tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he licked his chapped lips.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for breaking through to Spirit Ancestor and unlocking a new term [Charm God]."
"Ding! Host's term refresh has been reset!"
[Charm God (Purple): You gain a slight favorability from all gods, and automatically gain 10% affinity for any divine trial.]
"Hoo! I thought it was a succubus, turns out it's a Charm God!"
Lin Feng heard the voice in his ear, reconfirmed the panel, and was relieved.
It's only effective on gods, is that how this term is explained?
Then wouldn't a succubus only be effective on demons?
But giving a purple term was pretty good luck. It wasn't the white one from before.
Just as he was about to refresh the term.
"Lin Feng, Lin Feng!"
"Drink water."
Dugu Yan saw Lin Feng open his eyes, looked at his chapped lips, and quickly went forward to hand him water, calling out to him.
"Ah, Yan'er."
"Gulp, gulp."
After drinking a liter of water, Lin Feng's lips gradually regained their color.
Then he'd refresh the term later!
After Lin Feng finished drinking, he abruptly stood up.
At this moment, he had officially and successfully entered the ranks of Spirit Ancestor.
"Grandpa, Yan'er, I've also successfully absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring."
"And now my spirit power has reached level 48!"
Lin Feng smiled as he looked at the two of them.
Lin Feng was not surprised by this increase in spirit power to level 48; after all, he had absorbed a Flame Spirit Beast recorded in ancient books this time.
"Not bad, not bad."
"After absorbing this Immortal Herb spirit ring, both your and Yan'er's spirit power have increased quite a bit."
Dugu Bo brushed away his previous worries, gradually revealing a smile and nodding with satisfaction.
"Congratulations, Lin Feng."
Dugu Yan lowered her head, her face showing a mix of happiness and unhappiness.
She just felt that the gap between herself and Lin Feng was growing wider and wider.
When they were both Spirit Elders, their spirit power was only a few levels apart, but now that they had reached Spirit Ancestor, there was a seven-level difference.
Moreover, a seven-level difference at Spirit Ancestor was at least equivalent to a ten-level spirit power difference when they were Spirit Elders.
