Chapter 227: Taking Precautions, Absorbing a Spirit Ring!
Once again, Yu Yuanzhen was struck hard in the chest by the Azure Bull Python's tail. The heavy blow forced him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing that it had injured Yu Yuanzhen even further, the Azure Bull Python grew even more excited. It was about to press forward and finish him in one decisive rush.
"Ah!!"
Just then, Yu Yuanzhen let out a pained roar. A blue purple bolt of lightning shot out from his body and streaked into the distance.
"This is… the Thunder Saint Dragon Spirit Bone?!"
Sensing that familiar aura from the departing lightning, the Azure Bull Python was overjoyed.
"Sure enough, if he doesn't want to die, he has to make a choice. Now that he won't abandon his descendant, he can only abandon the Spirit Bone!"
It no longer cared about continuing to attack Yu Yuanzhen. Instead, it surged toward the Thunder Saint Dragon Spirit Bone at full speed. Yu Yuanzhen seized the chance and escaped.
Man and beast shot off in opposite directions, widening the distance in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, Yu Yuanzhen no longer looked miserable at all. Holding Yu Tianlin in his hand, he turned his head with bright, cheerful eyes and said with a smile, "Tianlin, are you confused right now?"
"At first, I didn't understand what you were doing, Grandpa. But when I saw you throw out the Spirit Bone at the end, I suddenly understood." Yu Tianlin stared at him. "Grandpa, you wanted to give the Thunder Saint Dragon Spirit Bone to the Azure Bull Python in a proper way, hoping it would grow stronger from it. I know your goal, but why? Why do you want to do this?"
Although Yu Tianlin had guessed part of it, he still wanted a clear answer.
"For you," Yu Yuanzhen said calmly. "I'll give the Thunder Saint Dragon head bone to the Azure Bull Python and let it become even stronger, so it can provide you with better Spirit Rings."
"You're only level 50, and you're already preparing to absorb a 65,000 year Spirit Ring. What about later? Maybe when you reach level 60, you'll be able to absorb a 100,000 year Spirit Ring. And after that, it could become even more terrifying."
"I'm doing this to prepare for your future and arrange things in advance."
Goodness, I knew it. Hold that thought for a second.
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's answer, Yu Tianlin couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, you gave away the Thunder Saint Dragon skull so decisively. Aren't you afraid something unexpected will happen?"
"What could go wrong?" Yu Yuanzhen laughed. "With the Azure Bull Python's strength, it can protect the Spirit Bone well. In a few years, when you're stronger and can endure powerful Spirit Rings, we'll hunt it down again, and the Spirit Bone will return to us."
"Right now, we're just having it keep the Thunder Saint Dragon skull for us, temporarily."
There was absolute confidence in Yu Yuanzhen's tone. He believed that even if the Azure Bull Python's strength rose sharply after obtaining the Spirit Bone, it would still be no match for him. In the end, it would have no choice but to obediently become Yu Tianlin's Spirit Ring. As for the Thunder Saint Dragon head bone, it could naturally be recovered as well.
Since Grandpa had already considered all the problems, Yu Tianlin did not need to say anything more.
As for the Azure Bull Python's fate, it had brought this on itself. Under normal circumstances, Yu Tianlin would not have targeted it out of respect for Xiao Wu. But now that it had snatched such a precious Spirit Bone from their side, a reckoning was inevitable sooner or later.
Just like when Yu Tianlin and his group stole Tang Hao's Spirit Bone, they had to stay wary of Tang Hao's retaliation. It was the same principle.
Cause and effect.
"Alright, that's enough." Yu Yuanzhen's expression turned serious again. "If we delay any longer, the Thunderous Sacred Kite Spirit Ring will dissipate."
After flying far away with Yu Tianlin and leaving the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest behind, Yu Yuanzhen found a safe place to land. He set Thunderous Sacred Kite's corpse aside.
"Start absorbing. I'll protect you."
The thought of gaining a powerful Spirit Ring that would greatly increase his strength filled Yu Tianlin with anticipation. He quickly walked to Thunderous Sacred Kite's corpse, sat down cross legged, and began drawing in the black Spirit Ring that pulsed with terrifying Spirit energy.
Absorbing something this far beyond his level, how much would it raise his Spirit Power?
…
Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Grand Battle Arena.
4 days after Yu Tianlin left, the preliminary rounds had already reached 21 matches. The 22nd round was about to begin.
As for the standings, Thunder Academy, Skywater Academy, and Godwind Academy were tied for first. All 3 held the same record, 20 wins and 1 loss.
That's right. Thunder Academy had not been lucky.
Soon after Yu Tianlin left, they drew Godwind Academy. With the strength of Lei Tian, Lei Dong, and the others, they were no match for Feng Xiaotian, so they suffered an unfortunate defeat.
Although the 3 academies currently looked tied, once the final results were announced, Thunder Academy would rank below Godwind Academy, because it had lost to Shenfeng Academy.
This made Lei Tian and the others feel miserable. They believed they had let Yu Tianlin down, ruined his hard won perfect record, and might even fall to second place.
The atmosphere in Thunder Academy's rest area was heavy.
"We can only rely on today's match between Skywater Academy and Godwind Academy." Lei Tian's hoarse voice broke the silence. "If Godwind Academy loses, they'll have 2 losses. Then the final ranking will be us first, Skywater second, and Godwind third."
"If Godwind Academy wins, even if both sides end up with 2 losses, Godwind will still rank above us because they beat us. That means Godwind will be first, we'll be second, and Tianshui will be third."
There were still a few preliminary matches left, but there would be no more clashes between top teams. It could be said that today's match would decide the final outcome.
Lei Dong gave a bitter smile. "I never thought the final ranking would be decided by those girls from Skywater Academy."
Even though they were guaranteed to advance no matter what, being overshadowed by Godwind Academy was still an extremely unpleasant feeling.
Meanwhile, in Skywater Academy's rest area, the team captain, Shui Bing'er, remained calm. She understood the impact of today's match on the standings, and she had already made her decision.
"Sister, how should we arrange today's match?" Shui Yue'er asked casually. "We're guaranteed to advance anyway. Let's just play casually. Godwind Academy can fly, it's too troublesome."
"No." Shui Bing'er's voice was calm and firm. "Today, we fight with everything we have. Even if we have to use our Martial Soul Fusion Technique, we must win."
"Uh… Captain, is this really necessary?" Several team members looked surprised.
But Xue Wu's eyes flickered, as if she understood what Shui Bing'er was thinking.
As the battle approached, Shui Bing'er silently thought, Tianlin, I don't know why you suddenly disappeared, but I'll help you protect your honor.
