"Let's not talk about that for now."
"I think I just saw a Spirit Beast among that group that would be perfect for you to absorb."
"You stay here, I'll go take a look."
Hearing Shen Fan say this, Jiang Nannan knew that Shen Fan was planning to find a place to release that Ten Thousand Year Soft Bones Rabbit, so she didn't say anything more, only gently agreed, and watched Shen Fan run alone in the direction they had eaten earlier, until she could no longer see his figure.
As for Shen Fan, after getting out of Jiang Nannan's sight, he ran into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest for a few more minutes before slowly stopping.
"That's enough."
"Let's choose this place."
While thinking to himself, to prevent any Spirit Beasts from disturbing him, Shen Fan summoned the Sky Emperor Sword from his spiritual sea and plunged it into the ground, creating a defensive circle of about ten square meters around him. Immediately after, he took out the palm heaven bottle and began to improve the quality of some Immortal Herbs that might be needed in the near future.
Just like that, time passed by minute by minute, and by the time Shen Fan reappeared in Jiang Nannan's sight, it was already more than half an hour later.
"Were you anxious waiting?"
"Look, what is this?"
At this moment, Shen Fan was holding a dazed, pinkish-purple rabbit in his hand, and he proudly dangled it in front of Jiang Nannan.
"Soft Bones Rabbit?"
"Wait… the age of this Soft Bones Rabbit…"
Jiang Nannan gasped, then continued, "The age of this Soft Bones Rabbit must be at least fifty thousand years, right?"
She deliberately understated it by fifty thousand years, because the academy simply wouldn't teach any knowledge about Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts, unless it was to the core students among the core students.
"Wrong."
"This is a Soft Bones Rabbit that has reached ten thousand years."
"I guess I was lucky."
"I picked up a bargain."
"It must have had some problem during its cultivation process, which caused its sentience to disappear."
"It is now a rabbit that is not even as good as an ordinary rabbit."
"I…"
Shen Fan's subsequent words were so exaggerated that they almost made Jiang Nannan, who was trying hard to hold back her laughter, suffer internal injuries.
Finally, after Shen Fan finished his rambling, Jiang Nannan was afraid that if Shen Fan continued to talk nonsense so seriously, she wouldn't be able to control her laughter. So, she didn't hypocritically decline Shen Fan's kindness, but instead directly sat down cross-legged as Shen Fan wished, and began to accept the sacrifice of the Soft Bones Rabbit in Shen Fan's hand.
Beside her, watching everything proceed smoothly, and Jiang Nannan had already closed her eyes and entered the state of fusing with the spirit ring, Shen Fan put away the dropped Ten Thousand Year Torso Bone. Just as he was about to sit aside and write in his diary for a while, he noticed Jiang Nannan's aura suddenly rise sharply. Before he could react, Jiang Nannan's tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
"Is it still bright outside?"
"Did it take me a day or even several days to absorb the spirit ring?"
Jiang Nannan looked at Shen Fan with some doubt and asked.
"No."
"The time you spent absorbing the spirit ring, all in all… probably less than a minute."
Shen Fan recovered and thought for a moment before saying.
"Less than a minute?"
Jiang Nannan was stunned.
"Summon your Spirit and spirit ring and take a look."
"It should have been successfully absorbed, right?"
"I can feel that your aura has strengthened a lot."
Shen Fan had already reacted by now, knowing that this must be due to the Diary System.
"Okay."
Jiang Nannan also reacted and obediently summoned her Spirit and spirit ring.
The next second, three yellow and one red spirit rings appeared with her Spirit, circling up and down around Jiang Nannan's body.
"It seems to have been successfully absorbed."
"Your spirit power level should be level fifty now, right?"
"Perhaps even more."
Shen Fan sensed it and said.
"Mm."
"On the surface, it's level fifty."
"However, the boost that a ten thousand year spirit ring brings to a Spirit Ancestor level Spirit Master is definitely more than just this much."
"Of course, the exact level now can only be accurately known after absorbing the fifth spirit ring."
Jiang Nannan nodded.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
"It's still early, let's go hunt for the fifth spirit ring now."
Shen Fan stepped forward and took Jiang Nannan's small hand.
"Let's wait a while longer."
"I don't want to be too high-profile."
"Many people in the class know that I only reached level forty not long ago."
"If I go back this time with five spirit rings, it will definitely attract a lot of attention."
Jiang Nannan shook her head, but she didn't struggle to pull her hand away from Shen Fan's grip.
"You already have a ten thousand year spirit ring, it seems you can't keep a low profile even if you want to, can you?"
Shen Fan said amusedly.
"Uh."
Jiang Nannan was stunned again. Ever since she had the diary copy, she had gotten used to spirit rings that could change color according to her will, so she had forgotten about this.
"Never mind."
"Take this."
"It can change the color and age aura of the spirit ring at will, according to your wishes."
Shen Fan exchanged a ring with points and handed it to Jiang Nannan. This item was only useful on the Douluo Continent, and it was very cheap, only one point could be exchanged for it.
"You really have a lot of strange spirit tools on you."
Jiang Nannan took the ring and put it on. With a thought, the originally dazzling red Ten Thousand Year spirit ring instantly turned deep purple, and at the same time, the powerful aura that came with the Ten Thousand Year spirit ring also transformed into the aura of a thousand-year spirit ring.
"Take this Spirit Bone."
At this moment, Shen Fan handed the torso bone dropped from the Soft Bones Rabbit's sacrifice to Jiang Nannan.
"I don't want it."
"The spirit ring was unavoidable; your level hadn't reached the bottleneck, so you couldn't absorb it. If I didn't take it, it would be wasted. But anyone can absorb a Spirit Bone."
"I'm already very satisfied with getting a Ten Thousand Year spirit ring. If I were to also accept this Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone, that would be too greedy."
These were Jiang Nannan's true feelings.
"Alright."
Shen Fan saw that Jiang Nannan's attitude was firm, so he didn't try to persuade her further. After putting away the Spirit Bone, he said, "Since you don't want to absorb the fifth spirit ring for now, and it's not suitable for us to return to the academy so soon, how about we travel around various places on the continent?"
"Mm."
Jiang Nannan also knew that returning to the academy so quickly was indeed not suitable. After a brief hesitation, she agreed to Shen Fan's suggestion.
"Then let's go."
"You've always lived in inland cities, you haven't seen the ocean yet, have you?"
"Our first stop will be the seaside, to let you experience the completely different scenery of the sea compared to the land."
After Shen Fan finished speaking, amidst Jiang Nannan's anticipation, the two boarded a helicopter and flew directly towards the sea.
Douluo Yi Bai Chenxiang Livestream: "They're going to play now?"
"Shen Fan doesn't even seem to have asked what the two Spirit Abilities given by the Ten Thousand Year spirit ring are, right?"
Douluo 1 Shui Yueer: "No need, no matter what the Spirit Ability is, it has no meaning to Shen Fan."
"What's most important now is that those eligible to participate in the mission need to make their final preparations. Jiang Nannan's speed in absorbing the Ten Thousand Year spirit ring clearly exceeded Shen Fan's expectations, so the time for the mission to start might not be far off."
