[spirit rings.]
[In the Douluo Continent, for any Spirit Master, this is an unavoidable hurdle.]
[Without spirit rings, a Spirit Master's potential is directly capped, making it impossible to advance.]
[And to obtain spirit rings, there is only one way: kill Spirit Beasts and acquire spirit rings from their corpses.]
[Honestly, when he first looked at the Spirit system of the Douluo Continent, Yu Xiaogang always felt that the Spirit Beast group must have offended the heavens.]
[If they hadn't offended the heavens, why would the system for becoming stronger in the Douluo Continent be like this?]
[Spirit Masters must hunt Spirit Beasts to become stronger, which naturally creates an irreconcilable conflict between Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts.]
[Unless one day, Spirit Masters discover a way to freely condense spirit rings.]
[And also create a method for artificial Spirit Bones.]
[Otherwise, Spirit Beasts can only ever be the enemies of Spirit Masters.]
[Yu Xiaogang has never stopped thinking about Spirit Beasts, spirit rings, and Spirit Bones over the years.]
[Especially after several absorptions of spirit rings and Spirit Bones, Yu Xiaogang's understanding of them became even clearer.]
[When he absorbed the spirit ring, he clearly felt the immense spirit power belonging to the Spirit Beast within the spirit ring rush into his body, helping him increase his physical strength, enhance his spirit power, and at the same time, assist Little Dragon in evolving.]
[And that ten-thousand-year spirit ring also carried the resentment of the Spirit Beast after its death.]
[One could say that a small spirit ring stores the purest and most core part of a Spirit Beast's power.]
[And such power was absorbed by him.]
[So, the question arises.]
[Before he absorbed the spirit ring, it stored so much power.]
[And after he absorbed the spirit ring, the power within it was emptied, and the spirit ring belonged to him.]
[So, at this point, is the spirit ring merely an ornament for him, which he activates with spirit power when using a Spirit Ability, causing it to glow?]
[It's like a gift box of pastries a guest brings to his home.]
[He accepted the gift box, and he ate the pastries inside.]
[So, at this point, is the remaining gift box completely useless?]
[Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's heart began to pound.]
[He felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.]
[So, without bothering about the people present, Yu Xiaogang directly sat cross-legged on the ground, summoning Little Dragon and his spirit rings.]
[Little Dragon, who was telepathically connected with Yu Xiaogang, understood Yu Xiaogang's thoughts the moment it appeared, so it came to Yu Xiaogang's side to assist him in his research on the spirit rings.]
[Yu Yuanzhen, seeing his son immediately enter such a state, quietly motioned for Lin Lang and Dugu Bo to move further away.]
["Sect Master, Young Sect Master, what is this?"]
[Dugu Bo, who had walked further away, glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who had summoned his Spirit and spirit rings. Such a spirit ring configuration was simply mesmerizing.]
[However, at present, Dugu Bo was more concerned about what Yu Xiaogang was going to do.]
[He had just discussed the situation of his Bìlín Snake Martial Soul with him, and now he said nothing and immediately entered a state.]
[So what did he think of?]
["I don't know, but Xiaogang has been smart since he was a child, so he might have thought of something."]
[Yu Yuanzhen looked at his son with some anticipation.]
[Yu Xiaogang's aptitude for contemplation and analysis was well-known among the higher-ups of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[The process of discovering Whale Glue was meticulously organized and reported to them by Ye Hengchuan afterwards.]
[After reviewing the entire process, they had to admit that Yu Xiaogang was extraordinarily intelligent at such a young age.]
[The entire experiment was conducted under Yu Xiaogang's guidance.]
[From discovery to experimentation, then to risk elimination, his thoughts and ideas were completely beyond what a child his age should possess.]
[Anyway, they, this group of people, couldn't have discovered Whale Glue.]
[After that, Yu Xiaogang successively discovered various characteristics of his Spirit, Little Dragon.]
[Although these characteristics were only useful to Yu Xiaogang alone, these repeated discoveries deepened the impression of Yu Xiaogang's outstanding talent in the minds of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's higher-ups.]
[Therefore, every time Yu Xiaogang fell into thought, the higher-ups would be full of anticipation, wanting to know what Yu Xiaogang had discovered this time.]
[Thus, for a time, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well became incredibly quiet.]
[The Grand Elder quietly refined the immortal grade herb, while Yu Xiaogang and Little Dragon were deep in thought.]
[Yu Yuanzhen and the other two stood far away, afraid to disturb Yu Xiaogang even with idle chatter, so they simply found a place and began to meditate.]
[Time passed minute by minute.]
[Yu Xiaogang and Little Dragon summoned their spirit rings.]
[At first, Yu Xiaogang tried to channel his spirit power into the spirit ring, and then he felt that the Spirit Ability was about to activate.]
[This feeling was the normal sensation of channeling spirit power into a spirit ring.]
[Consuming one's own spirit power, activating the power within the spirit ring, and triggering the spirit ring's skill.]
[Normally, at this point, after inputting a certain amount of spirit power into the spirit ring, the Spirit Master would activate the Spirit Ability.]
[Since the Spirit Ability has been successfully activated, who would continue to channel spirit power into the spirit ring?]
[But with his previous conjecture, Yu Xiaogang at this moment continuously channeled spirit power into his first spirit ring, just not activating the spirit ring's skill.]
[A large amount of spirit power was sent into the spirit ring, and the spirit ring's purple light flickered, as if reminding him to activate the skill.]
[But Yu Xiaogang never stopped; anyway, his total spirit power was immense, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of distress.]
[Just like that, the output of spirit power continued for an unknown amount of time, so long that Yu Xiaogang even thought his conjecture was wrong.]
[Crack!]
[A sound, as if from his first spirit ring, and also as if something shattering echoed in Yu Xiaogang's mind, was clearly captured by Yu Xiaogang.]
[At the same time, the flickering spirit ring stopped shining.]
[The urge to activate the Spirit Ability disappeared, and Yu Xiaogang subconsciously stopped channeling spirit power into his first spirit ring.]
[However, the next second, the spirit power he had already channeled into the first spirit ring began to flow back into Yu Xiaogang's body.]
[Yu Xiaogang felt these spirit powers; they were no different from what he had channeled in.]
[Immediately after, he tried to control the spirit ring to stop the spirit power from flowing back into his body.]
[Yu Xiaogang achieved this with ease.]
[So he opened the spirit power reflux channel again, and the next second, spirit power once again began to flow from the spirit ring into his body, replenishing his spirit power.]
[After turning it on and off several times, and completely adapting, Yu Xiaogang tried to activate his First Spirit Ability.]
[Then Yu Xiaogang was surprised to find that this time, to activate the Spirit Ability, he only needed a thought.]
[The spirit power consumed when activating the Spirit Ability was entirely the spirit power that had already flowed into the spirit ring.]
[Understanding all this, Yu Xiaogang's lips began to curl upwards.]
["Oh my, this is truly..."]
["I accidentally discovered another earth-shattering event."]
