Chapter 24: spirit ring fusionAs Ye Feng announced that lunch was ready, the crowd swarmed forward.From the moment they took their first bite of meat, they didn't stop.Each of them looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, and even the proud and arrogant Huo Wu ate until her mouth was covered in grease.This left Ye Feng dumbfounded.Huo Wushuang noticed Ye Feng's astonishment, holding a piece of roasted meat in his mouth, and explained to him:"The purpose of our trip is to obtain spirit rings for the students in the academy, but we have been searching here for a month and still haven't found a Spirit Beast with a suitable age and attributes.""As a result, the food we originally brought has been eaten up, and we can only rely on hunting Spirit Beasts for meat. However, as Brother Ye, you can see, we can at most roast the meat until it's done, which can hardly be called delicious."Ye Feng nodded. Hunting Spirit Beasts to obtain spirit rings was very troublesome.First, the attributes had to match, otherwise even if the spirit ring was absorbed, it could backfire.Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was an example—instead of utilizing the proper life attribute, he insisted on changing his attribute to use poison. If it weren't for cheating later on and evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor, it would have been discarded by him long ago.Secondly, the age had to be suitable; different Spirit Masters could bear different spirit ring ages.To satisfy both conditions at the same time was very difficult, sometimes taking several months of searching.If only one condition was met, it would affect one's own potential and upper limit.Compared to this, self-condensing a spirit ring was much stronger.Ye Feng once again affirmed the advantage of self-condensing spirit rings.Lunch was quickly devoured by the ravenous crowd.This also made the relationship between Ye Feng and everyone in Blazing Academy much more harmonious.Even Huo Wu stopped hissing at him.Taking this opportunity, Ye Feng asked Huo Wushuang about something he had wanted to get for a long time."The spirit ring fusion secret technique? Brother Ye wants to learn it?"Ye Feng nodded in assent."To not hide it from Brother Ye, I do know the spirit ring fusion secret technique, but after all, this is a family secret technique and cannot be easily passed on to outsiders.""This secret technique relies heavily on talent; people without talent can never master it in a lifetime."Ye Feng was not alarmed but rather pleased—as long as it could be passed on, that was fine. He was only afraid it was a secret technique that couldn't be taught at all."I wonder if Brother Ye thinks a 10,000-year Spirit Bone is enough to exchange for the opportunity to learn the spirit ring fusion secret technique?"Huo Wushuang was very surprised and asked:"Brother Ye can produce a 10,000-year Spirit Bone?"Ye Feng's gaze was firm and his tone resolute."Not right now, but I will in the future."Huo Wushuang was somewhat skeptical, clearly not believing Ye Feng could get a Spirit Bone.This was Douluo I, not Douluo II where Spirit Bones were rampant. Even most Titled Douluos did not have Spirit Bones.But in order not to dampen Ye Feng's self-confidence, he still replied:"If it's a 10,000-year Spirit Bone, it is indeed enough to exchange for the opportunity to learn spirit ring fusion.""Good, with Brother Ye's words, that is enough. In the future, I will definitely obtain a Spirit Bone."Acquiring the spirit ring fusion secret technique was a decision Ye Feng had made long ago.Now encountering Huo Wushuang by chance, it was just right to ask clearly in advance.spirit ring fusion was through the mutual fusion between spirit rings to increase the spirit power output of a Spirit Ability, greatly enhancing its power.But this secret technique was generally applicable to attack-type Spirit Abilities. For Spirit Abilities like Ye Feng's which were entirely percentage-enhancement types, the amount of spirit power consumed was fixed long ago.Even if spirit power output was forcibly increased, the effect wouldn't change much.What Ye Feng valued was not its effect.Rather, it was its external manifestation—the fusion between spirit rings.Ye Feng did not want to inherit any god's God Position; their authorities were too single-faceted and did not match his God Position.Nor did he want to rely on faith to condense a God Position.To him, that consumed too much time, and moreover, he was a selfish yet kind person who neither wanted to share his research results nor could force others to believe in him.He wanted to become an immortal and carve out his own path.Then he had to prepare to explore the path ahead after becoming a Limit Douluo.He flipped through his memories and found a relatively feasible method.Using spirit ring fusion, all spirit rings would be permanently fused into a single spirit ring.Other people could only achieve temporary spirit ring fusion, and it would also be accompanied by severe backlash.But that was because the souls of the Spirit Beasts constituting the spirit rings were different, and their structures were also different, so fusing them was naturally extremely difficult.As for Ye Feng, he didn't have this concern; he was confident in breaking through level 100 and entering the divine realm with the help of this secret technique.This was inspiration he gained based on the Emperor Huang when he was young, fusing the ten heavenly passages into one.Ye Feng secretly sighed at the luck of this accidental encounter; fortunately, he met Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang. If it had been Ning Fengzhi, he wouldn't even have brought it up.If he had proposed wanting the spirit ring fusion secret technique, Ning Fengzhi would most likely have directly given it to him.But things given for free were the most expensive.By then, with the two great sect-protecting Douluos present, he wouldn't be able to refuse even if he wanted to.After the meal, Huo Wushuang and the others quickly bid farewell to Ye Feng.They still needed to hunt Spirit Beasts for their companions.And Ye Feng continued his own journey.One year later, Ye Feng was 13 years old and a level 51 Spirit King.Over the past year, although cultivation time was shortened quite a bit due to traveling,the digestion of the medicinal power of the two Immortal Herbs and the traction of heaven and earth energy from the four 10,000-year spirit rings meant his cultivation speed didn't fall behind.Over this past year, he had also learned the ability to change the color of his spirit rings, which meant that even when cultivating outside, he didn't have to worry about exposing anything.At most, people would just think his talent was astonishing.Ye Feng arrived at the eastern side of the Star Dou Great Forest; he wanted to take a shortcut back to Nuoding City.He certainly hadn't forgotten about the great opportunity of the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.He was about to turn 14, two years older than Tang San. When Tang San was 12, he went to Shrek Academy.At that time, Tang Hao would also leave with Tang San.This would be the best opportunity for him to obtain the Spirit Bone.As dusk approached, Ye Feng lit a campfire and roasted the meat of the millennium Spirit Beast he had hunted.Casually tearing off a small piece of meat and throwing it into the air, a white shadow flashed by, accurately snatching the piece of meat, flying in a circle, and landing on Ye Feng's shoulder.It turned out to be a magnificent white bird with clear blue eyes and a gaze as sharp as a sword.Ye Feng casually stroked the little white bird's head.This was something Ye Feng had accidentally saved when he was deep inside the Star Dou Great Forest; back then, it was still a fledgling.Its mother had died in a fight with another avian Spirit Beast.Its siblings had all been eaten by that avian Spirit Beast, and only it had fallen from the nest to the ground. That avian Spirit Beast mistakenly thought it was dead and didn't eat it.At that time, Ye Feng was hiding in the grass, witnessing all of this.Whether it was the little white bird's mother or the other avian Spirit Beast, both were Spirit Beasts of over 80,000 years.Far from something Ye Feng could contend with.After that avian Spirit Beast flew away, it took quite a while before Ye Feng dared to come out.It was also because Ye Feng had good hearing and heard the weak chirping of the fledgling, out of pity, he adopted it.Fortunately, Ye Feng used to be a forest ranger and had experience in rescuing birds, so he managed to save its life.During the period when he first adopted it, Ye Feng went hunting almost every day, fearing it would go hungry.Perhaps knowing that Ye Feng saved it, the little guy was quiet and particularly affectionate towards Ye Feng.The little guy grew very fast, and in a year, it was already half a meter tall.Afterward, Ye Feng flipped through the Spirit Beast encyclopedia to learn its species.The Hurricane Gyrfalcon was an extremely rare Spirit Beast, close to extinction. When adult, its wingspan approached a hundred meters, and exquisite blue patterns would appear on its body, making it an extremely powerful Spirit Beast.Although the gyrfalcon here was still an alternative name for the saker falcon, the meaning was vastly different.Gyrfalcon meant that when it flew over the sea surface, the sea surface turned into glaciers.It was a dual-attribute Spirit Beast of ice and wind.Ye Feng named it "Yaoguang", implying purity, flawlessness, and radiance.
