With the Dean present this time, Yu Xiaogang became exceptionally bold.
He was practically fearless, striding through the Soul Hunting Forest as if he owned the place.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a Datura Snake again!
Its cultivation was as high as over 700 years!
But the Dean just waved his hand nonchalantly: "Hurry! Do it!"
The Datura Snake was easily suppressed.
Yu Xiaogang said very arrogantly: "Datura Snake... Last time I was chased by one of its kind... Little San, go!"
With Tang San's move, the Datura Snake was quickly finished off.
Duan Yuanchen watched as he was about to absorb that yellow spirit ring.
Having already activated his Book Martial Soul, he made a modification.
[Tang San successfully absorbed the 753-year-old Datura Snake spirit ring...]
[Tang San successfully absorbed the 53-year-old Datura Snake spirit ring...]
This experience was exactly the same as when he absorbed the spirit ring last time.
Tang San suddenly realized that the massive power was dissipating crazily in an instant.
The yellow spirit ring beneath him now only had a few faint yellow marks left, with the vast majority having turned pure white.
Witnessing this scene, Yu Xiaogang was stunned!
Recalling last time, it was just as strange when absorbing that mutated vine bamboo.
Right now, absorbing the Datura Snake spirit ring had actually staged this scene again!
The spirit power of a perfectly good 700-year-old spirit ring... just evaporated and leaked away like that?
Yu Xiaogang was anxious, hurried forward, and asked with concern: "Little San, how do you feel now?"
Tang San calmed his mind to feel his condition and found that his spirit power had climbed to the level of 21.
At the same time, he also possessed his own second Spirit Ability.
"Many thanks for my foster parent's concern, I feel in excellent condition now, and my strength has had a qualitative leap."
Tang San's words carried hard-to-hide excitement.
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly: "Release your Spirit and let me see."
Tang San immediately opened his right hand, and a Blue Silver Grass Rope instantly appeared.
It looked tougher than before, and the patterns on its surface seemed like a Datura Snake.
Yu Xiaogang asked eagerly: "What kind of changes has your Spirit undergone exactly?"
Tang San waved gently, and the Blue Silver Grass Rope in his hand coiled around a small tree as thick as a wrist.
With a fierce tug, the small tree was actually forced to bend over.
The Blue Silver Grass Rope was stretched to the limit, yet showed no signs of breaking.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered with deep thought: "As expected! This is the unique trait of a control system Spirit Master! If there is a powerful attack Spirit Master fighting alongside you, your Spirit will definitely be able to exert even greater power! Little San, we did it!"
At this moment, a Wind Bell Bird swept past the treetops, breaking the silence.
Tang San quickly retracted the Blue Silver Grass Rope, instantly transforming it into a long staff, and pointed it toward the Wind Bell Bird on the treetop.
The front end of the long staff suddenly erupted with dense grass ropes, tightly Binding the Wind Bell Bird.
With a gentle tug, the Wind Bell Bird fell down.
Tang San was about to speak, but Duan Yuanchen had already taken a step ahead.
He stomped down hard, ending the Wind Bell Bird's life.
The Dean shouted in astonishment: "A-Chen, what are you doing?"
Duan Yuanchen shrugged indifferently: "Little San can't absorb any more spirit rings, and besides, he is my grandson, so doing this isn't too much, right?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned: "That's not what I meant... Is this Spirit Beast suitable for the foster father? Its age seems to be only 357 years!"
Duan Yuanchen said nonchalantly: "No problem, my Book Martial Soul is unique. Look at this bestiary, I don't need to absorb spirit rings to obtain the power of Spirit Beasts! So, the more, the better!"
The characteristics of the Book Martial Soul would sooner or later be known to others.
Actively revealing the function of the bestiary was better than being groundlessly suspected by others.
Duan Yuanchen circled around, found a suitable spot, and began to absorb the spirit ring.
The content on the pages changed rapidly.
[Duan Yuanchen successfully absorbed the 357-year-old Wind Bell Bird spirit ring...]
[Duan Yuanchen successfully absorbed the 3000-year-old Phoenix-Cry Eagle spirit ring...]
After getting everything done, Duan Yuanchen turned to the Dean and said: "Let's wander around a bit more! I want to collect more bestiary information!"
Then, the four of them continued on their journey of hunting Spirit Beasts.
There were many types of captured Spirit Beasts.
There were Soft Bones Rabbit, Scale-Armored Beast, Ghost Vine, Nether Wolf, Rodent Weasel, Thousand-Jun Ant, Black Explosive Pig, Spotted Hamster, Wind Baboon, and so on!
During this time, something quite interesting also happened.
They encountered a Datura Snake again, this time with an age as high as 359 years.
After absorption was complete, the cultivation of the Datura Chi in the bestiary actually increased by several decades!
This meant that by continuously hunting the same type of Spirit Beast, the strength of the Spirit Beast in the bestiary would continuously climb!
To avoid exposing this characteristic, Duan Yuanchen decisively called a halt to the hunting operation.
"Oh my, I'm exhausted! My bestiary has added 9 new types of Spirit Beasts, and now there are 11 pages in total! That's about enough, let's retreat!"
After a series of operations by Duan Yuanchen, Tang San had practically become the most obedient grandson.
He cast an incomparably envious look: "Grandfather, you... doesn't this mean you've mastered 11 Spirit Abilities?"
However, the truth was far more than that.
Duan Yuanchen had a full 11 thousand-year spirit rings on him.
As long as he absorbed all these spirit rings, he could break through the barrier of level 30 spirit power in one go!
But he wouldn't be foolish enough to spill all of this out.
He laughed it off and said: "Don't make it sound so mysterious... I'm just borrowing some abilities, it can't compare to real Spirit Abilities!"
Subsequently, the four of them quickly evacuated the Soul Hunting Forest and took a carriage back to Notting Academy.
Time flew by like a white horse passing a crack.
In the blink of an eye, they welcomed the moment of graduation.
Duan Yuanchen's cultivation had steadily stepped into the ranks of level 30 spirit power!
Xiao Wu was not to be outdone, her cultivation pushing straight to level 29 spirit power!
In contrast, Tang San, because of modifying the spirit ring, was still only at level 26 spirit power, falling a bit behind.
It was just graduation now, and there was still some time before the entrance examination.
Duan Yuanchen pondered that his strength was sufficient to go hunting in the Soul Hunting Forest alone.
After all, level 30 spirit power was not something to be trifled with!
That guy Yu Xiaogang simply couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as him.
Among Spirit Masters of the same level, Yu Xiaogang was just a weakling.
And the current Duan Yuanchen, even without summoning his Book Martial Soul, was more than enough to beat ten Yu Xiaogangs.
Not to mention the combat power after summoning the Book Martial Soul and revealing his spirit rings! That was off the charts!
Duan Yuanchen felt that he could walk sideways in the Soul Hunting Forest without any problems.
He asked Yu Xiaogang for a token and then set off.
This time he was all alone, and the guards outside the forest were not very willing to let him pass.
But after discovering his strength, they immediately changed their attitude: "You kid are progressing quite fast! This time... it should be no problem without an elder following, but don't run into the depths of the forest!"
Duan Yuanchen said thank you and entered the forest.
He wandered around inside, raising the original 11 Spirit Beasts in his bestiary to 3000 years of cultivation!
And hunted all these Spirit Beasts again by species!
By the time Duan Yuanchen came out of the Soul Hunting Forest.
There were already 30 Spirit Beasts in the bestiary! All of them with 3000 years of cultivation!
