Absorbing a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring, the most important challenge is enduring the spiritual shock.
Not long after entering the absorption state, Wu Qi's consciousness entered a mental world. The remnant shadow of the Wind God Pterosaur appeared there as well.
However, as a herbivorous Spirit Beast, the Wind God Pterosaur seemed to have no aggression. In this mental world, it did nothing but flee.
Only then did Wu Qi truly understand why Spirit Master theory always said that Spirit Rings from herbivorous Spirit Beasts are easier to absorb.
The Wind God Pterosaur didn't attack at all. And since this was Wu Qi's mental world, its body gradually weakened and dissipated as it fled.
In other words, even if Wu Qi did nothing, the absorption of this Spirit Ring would complete on its own.
A Spirit Beast without aggression would naturally not provide an offensive Spirit Skill. Most likely, it would be an enhancement-type ability.
Dugu Bo closely observed Wu Qi's condition. Seeing that his aura remained stable, he was momentarily puzzled.
Since when had absorbing a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring become so easy? Not to mention that Wu Qi was only at the Spirit Elder level.
Of course, his lack of knowledge in Spirit Master theory meant he couldn't figure out the reason.
With Wu Qi in no danger, Dugu Bo relaxed. His gaze unconsciously shifted to the Wind God Pterosaur's corpse.
Although the chance of a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast dropping a Spirit Bone was very low, it was still worth checking to avoid missing anything.
Taking out a short blade, he carefully cut open the areas where a Spirit Bone might appear.
Before long, he sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from the Wind God Pterosaur's right leg.
The blade sliced through flesh, and a white Spirit Bone was revealed.
Dugu Bo's breathing quickened.
As a Titled Douluo, he had naturally seen Spirit Bones before.
But for Wu Qi to obtain a Spirit Bone on his very first hunt of a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, his luck was simply incredible.
Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel that Wu Qi carried some kind of fortune that subtly aided his growth.
In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.
As the Spirit Ring fully fused with his martial soul, Wu Qi finally completed the absorption.
Dugu Bo immediately congratulated him. "Kid, you've set a precedent. A ten-thousand-year fourth Spirit Ring heh, I'm afraid many people in the future will see you as an example and try to imitate you."
Wu Qi being able to absorb a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring as his fourth was neither coincidence nor luck.
It was the result of thorough preparation and his own exceptional willpower.
Those who try to rely on luck to change their fate by copying him are destined to fail.
Wu Qi said modestly, "Old man, haven't you also set a precedent? Tell me, which Titled Douluo can go from Level 91 to Level 93 in a single day?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was in an excellent mood.
He then took out the Wind God Pterosaur's Spirit Bone from behind and casually tossed it to Wu Qi.
"This is a Spirit Bone!" Wu Qi raised an eyebrow.
Dugu Bo replied calmly, "This Spirit Bone comes from the same Spirit Beast as your fourth Spirit Ring. Absorbing it will greatly benefit you."
A ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone was already extremely valuable. However, Wu Qi felt that its age was still too low. If he absorbed it now, removing it in the future would not be easy.
With that thought, he pushed it back. "Old man, you should absorb it. If your strength increases, my safety will be better guaranteed."
If he kept it, it would only sit unused in his storage device. It was better to use it to strengthen Dugu Bo and improve their current combat power.
Dugu Bo didn't take it back. Though he didn't say it outright, Wu Qi could tell that Dugu Bo already possessed a Spirit Bone in that position.
Suddenly, a noise came from behind them. Three figures leapt out of the bushes and blocked their path.
"I say, if you grandfather and grandson don't want it, why not hand over the Spirit Bone to us as payment for sparing your lives?"
Through disturbances in the airflow, Wu Qi had already sensed someone nearby.
Originally, he thought that since Dugu Bo had been active in the Sunset Forest for so long, many people would recognize him and avoid conflict.
Unexpectedly, they ran into a group of reckless fools.
Dugu Bo said coldly, "You're not from around here?"
Among the three, the leader Han Bo licked his lips while holding a machete. "Old man, why does it matter where we're from? Hand over the Spirit Bone obediently, or you'll both be buried here."
Behind him, Han Zhong and Han Shu revealed mocking smiles.
Dugu Bo couldn't be bothered with them and instead said to Wu Qi, "Three mid-stage Spirit Ancestors. Kid, do you have confidence?"
Wu Qi grinned. "Perfect timing to test my new Spirit Skill."
Seeing that the two had no intention of complying, Han Bo and the others' expressions turned sharp. At the same time, they released their martial souls. Four Spirit Rings, white, yellow, yellow, and purple—shone beneath each of their feet.
Wu Qi shook his head slightly. The combined age of their Spirit Rings probably didn't even match his fourth Spirit Ring.
Not even understanding the gap in strength, yet daring to rob them, then they could serve as perfect test subjects!
The Azure Luan martial soul appeared as Wu Qi leapt into the air.
As the sun set, the forest grew dim, but the Spirit Rings beneath his feet emitted a dazzling light.
"Big brother, how does he have a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring?!"
Han Zhong rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't mistaken.
Han Bo's expression stiffened.
A ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring was the mark of a Spirit King. They immediately realized they had kicked a steel plate.
Han Shu noticed something off. "Wait, big brother, he only has four Spirit Rings. That ten-thousand-year one is his fourth Spirit Ring!"
A ten-thousand-year fourth Spirit Ring? What kind of joke was that?
Although the three brothers hadn't paid much attention during their time at the academy, even basic knowledge told them that Wu Qi's Spirit Ring configuration was completely "impossible"!
"Third Spirit Skill: Mountain-Splitting Axe."
The three brothers' martial souls were axes.
Whether Wu Qi's Spirit Rings were real or not, how could one Spirit Ancestor be a match for three?
The giant axes swung down toward Wu Qi at the same time, their attacks powerful and heavy.
At the side, Dugu Bo let out a disdainful smile.
Three fools. They had no idea how much a Spirit Ring's age enhanced a Spirit Master's body!
A ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring was like adding ten thousand points of attributes to the body, while the total age of their Spirit Rings didn't even compare to a single one of Wu Qi's.
A difference of just a few Levels in spirit power was nowhere near enough to bridge the overwhelming gap in physical strength.
Wu Qi showed no mercy. The ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring beneath his feet shone brilliantly.
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Wind Spiral Dragon Body."
This Spirit Skill itself had no offensive power, but it increased all of Wu Qi's attributes by one hundred percent, with an especially terrifying boost to his movement techniques.
If combined with the Luan Sky Movement Technique, he was confident that no one below the Spirit Emperor level could find a flaw in him.
At the same time, the Crane Cloud Wings activated, and Wu Qi's speed became unbelievably fast.
In the eyes of the three mid-stage Spirit Ancestors, his figure was completely impossible to track.
Seeing their third Spirit Skill miss, Han Shu was shocked. "What kind of Spirit Ancestor is this? How can his speed be so fast? Big brother, should we retreat?"
Han Bo glanced at the Wind God Pterosaur's corpse. That was a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone. If they got their hands on it, the three brothers wouldn't have to worry about food or money for the next ten years.
High risk, high reward!
"Damn it, let's go all out!"
