This sudden ten-year spirit ring was nothing short of a burden for Tang San.
Not only did it make him a laughingstock in the Spirit Master's world, but more seriously, it directly meant that the age limit for his future third spirit ring would be lowered.
On his future path to Cultivate, if Tang San could not find every possible way to improve his Physique, his future third spirit ring would absolutely be unable to withstand a thousand-year level spirit ring.
While the light of Sacrifice was just erupting from that Ten-Year Withered Bamboo...
Tang Hao, who had been hiding in the shadows to protect him, immediately sensed something was wrong and revealed himself.
He wanted to forcibly intervene and interrupt this ridiculous Sacrifice.
However, how could a process like a Spirit Beast's Sacrifice, which involved the laws of heaven and earth, be so easily interrupted?
In fact, with the weak energy field formed by the Sacrifice of this Ten-Year Withered Bamboo...
If Tang Hao really wanted to use his strength as a Spirit Douluo to forcibly interrupt it, it would have been very easy to do.
But the difficulty lay in the fact that this Lone Bamboo's Sacrifice was simply too unexpected and bizarre!
Furthermore, precisely because it was a ten-year spirit ring with the lowest age limit and minimal energy, the speed at which Tang San passively absorbed it was a matter of a mere instant!
It could be said that Tang Hao had just anxiously emerged from the dark woods, his hand having just summoned his Clear Sky Hammer, when in the next second, Tang San, not far away, had already completely finished absorbing that white ten-year spirit ring.
The die was cast.
Looking at the glaring white ring beneath his son's feet, Tang Hao's face instantly turned incredibly grim, as if it could drip water.
The hand he used to grip the Clear Sky Hammer was trembling violently; who the hell could he even complain to about this?!
A perfectly good number one twin spirits Genius under heaven, yet for that crucial second spirit ring, he actually absorbed a ten-year spirit ring that even a dog wouldn't want!
Xiao Chenyu: Right, right, right, the dog doesn't want it, but I do...
Under normal circumstances, after a Spirit Master finishes absorbing this white ten-year spirit ring, this ridiculous farce should have come to a complete end.
However, the terrifying power of that misfortune card was still methodically continuing to exert its effect.
As everyone knows, if a Spirit Beast chooses to actively Sacrifice itself, it is one hundred percent guaranteed to produce a Spirit Bone.
Even if the Spirit Beast before them was just a Ten-Year Withered Bamboo with no intelligence, this rule still applied.
Just as the white spirit ring beneath Tang San's feet had stabilized, a faint white light suddenly flickered within the remains of that completely withered Ten-Year Lone Bamboo.
Immediately afterward, a ten-year Right Leg Bone, condensed from the essence of the Lone Bamboo, turned into a streak of white light and instantly flew toward Tang San.
This ten-year Right Leg Bone gave Tang San no chance to react at all, crashing violently into his right leg.
This power instantly completed the forced Fusion, completely ignoring Tang San's own will to resist!
This second unexpected situation left everyone present completely dumbfounded; they stared at each other in wide-eyed shock, having no idea what to say.
It was one thing for a ten-year spirit ring to be forcibly absorbed, but how could even the accompanying ten-year Spirit Bone be forcibly absorbed as well?!
If someone said there wasn't some hidden trickery behind this, none of them present would believe it!
Someone was definitely hiding in the shadows, intentionally pranking Tang San and trying to completely destroy this Genius's Foundation!
But who could this person striking from the shadows be?
The people from Nuoding Academy could first directly rule out the possibility of a human Spirit Master.
Because among human Spirit Masters, even a supreme existence like Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall could not possibly achieve such an inconceivable feat as a forced Sacrifice.
Since humans couldn't do it, it could only be those Spirit Beasts with terrifying strength.
However, in this mere low-level Spirit Hunting Forest, what Spirit Beast could possibly completely evade the perception of a Spirit Douluo like Tang Hao?
And even silently cause a Ten-Year Lone Bamboo to actively Sacrifice itself, while also forcing Tang San to fuse with this trash Spirit Bone?
This situation also left Yu Xiaogang, who always prided himself on his invincible theories, feeling somewhat at a loss; his Ten Great Core Competencies of Spirits didn't include any of this.
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang happened to see a grim-faced Tang Hao walk out from the dark woods.
Ignoring the shock of the others, Yu Xiaogang hurried forward and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency Clear Sky, this situation..."
Yu Xiaogang hesitated; facing such an unconventional and outrageous event, he really didn't know how to explain or even begin to speak.
Tang Hao interrupted him in a deep voice, saying coldly, "This is not the place to talk. Let's take Little San back first."
To the side, Tang San felt a surge of emotion when he saw his father suddenly appear.
He thought that his father hadn't actually abandoned him to go somewhere far away; he had been silently protecting him from the shadows all along.
But suddenly, Tang San's gaze froze as he noticed Tang Hao's right sleeve fluttering in the wind.
His father's right arm... seemed to be empty!
Tang San's expression changed drastically, and he ran over stumbling, "Father, what happened to your arm?!"
Tang Hao looked at his concerned son with a complex gaze and shook his head somewhat weakly.
"Just a minor situation, I only lost an arm. But this is definitely not something you should be concerned about right now."
The group returned to Nuoding Academy with heavy hearts.
After returning to Yu Xiaogang's newly renovated office, Tang Hao sat in a chair and looked at Tang San with a profound gaze.
Tang Hao thought carefully, sighed deeply, and said, "Little San, I originally intended to wait until your cultivation reached at least the level of a Spirit Ancestor."
"Before personally taking you to Cultivate, but now it seems this plan must be moved forward."
Tang Hao pointed at the white spirit ring beneath Tang San's feet and said in a heavy tone:
"Although I don't know what sinister reason caused this Ten-Year Lone Bamboo to suddenly go crazy and Sacrifice itself to you..."
"But the die is cast. Since there's no way to change this terrible situation now, you can only find another way to improve your Physique."
"Otherwise, because of the severe burden of this ten-year spirit ring, your future third spirit ring won't even be able to withstand a thousand-year level."
Hearing his father's words, Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of resentment.
"However, this is also a blessing in disguise," Tang Hao said, changing the subject slightly to offer some comfort.
"Not only do you have the Blue Silver Grass, but you also have a second Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer. Your twin spirits are your greatest trump card for a comeback."
"As long as your Blue Silver Grass barely reaches the Level Seventy Spirit Saint level later on and gains its Martial Soul True Body..."
"Then you can directly switch to cultivating the powerful Clear Sky Hammer. By then, you will still be a top powerhouse on this continent!"
