On the way to the Sunset Forest, the three high-ranking members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, had already subconsciously stopped in their tracks when Yu Xiaogang described his discovery on the heavenly curtain.
The two Titled Douluo, who usually cared quite a bit about Face, were now standing there with their mouths wide open, staring blankly at the smiling Yu Xiaogang on the heavenly curtain.
At this moment, their expressions were almost identical to those of Yu Yuanzhen and the others on the heavenly curtain.
They all wore looks of disbelief.
However, it was understandable; who could easily believe something that could subvert the cognition of everyone on the Douluo Continent?
"Sword... Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, should we try it?"
Ning Fengzhi, who always possessed a refined and elegant demeanor, had now lost all of his composure and calmness.
Faced with such a matter, even the calmest person would feel their emotions churning like a tsunami.
"Ah... Oh! Right, right, right, let's try it, let's try it."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Bone Douluo snapped out of his daze and shock, and then appeared incoherent.
Rubbing his hands excitedly, Bone Douluo quickly activated Martial Soul Possession and summoned his spirit rings.
Then, he looked at his first spirit ring.
"It must succeed!"
Muttering to himself in a low voice, Bone Douluo began to inject his spirit power into his first spirit ring.
Beside him, Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were staring intensely at every move Bone Douluo made.
Although Yu Xiaogang on the heavenly curtain had already accomplished this, they couldn't rest easy without experiencing it for themselves.
As he continuously injected spirit power into his first spirit ring, Bone Douluo's spirit ring kept reminding him to release his First Spirit Ability.
Honestly, this was the first time Bone Douluo had experienced such a feeling.
Just injecting spirit power into the spirit ring without releasing a Spirit Ability—it was no wonder they hadn't discovered the secret of the spirit rings.
Crack!
As he continued to inject spirit power into his first spirit ring, it wasn't long before Bone Douluo heard the sound of something shattering in his consciousness.
Immediately afterward, the urge to activate his First Spirit Ability vanished, and at the same time, a stream of spirit power began to flow back from his first spirit ring into his body.
Feeling the spirit power flowing back into his body, Bone Douluo was momentarily dazed.
"It really works..."
Joy, surprise, disbelief, as well as shock and complexity.
Like an overturned spice jar, Bone Douluo couldn't even describe what kind of mood he was in at this moment.
"Uncle Bone, how is it?"
"Old Bone, are you alright?"
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who had been staring intently at Bone Douluo, were initially ecstatic upon hearing Bone Douluo's words.
But upon hearing the complex emotions in his tone, the two of them became worried.
"Ah? I'm fine."
The sound of their worried voices brought Bone Douluo back to his senses; he glanced at the two of them and waved his hand.
"I just feel that the gap between us and that Dragon God Douluo is truly not small."
"Think about what I was doing when I was in my teens."
"When he was in his teens, he had already redefined what it meant to be a Spirit Master."
Hearing Bone Douluo's words, Sword Douluo and the other let out a sigh of relief, then nodded in agreement.
That's right, compared to Yu Xiaogang, they were just a bunch of brutes who only knew how to fight.
"Alright, alright, let's talk about that later. Uncle Bone, tell us how you feel."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Bone Douluo, wanting to ask about his experience.
"How I feel... Hahaha, it couldn't be better."
"My first spirit ring has now stored some of my spirit power, though unfortunately, the amount isn't much."
Bone Douluo felt it for a moment, then said with a smile.
"Tell us the process in detail."
Sword Douluo said anxiously from the side.
This was what he most wanted to know right now.
"Hmm... At first, I injected spirit power into the spirit ring, but it kept wanting to release the Spirit Ability."
"Then after a while, it was like piercing through a layer of glass, and the sound of something shattering echoed in my head."
"Since then, the urge to release the Spirit Ability disappeared."
"After that, the spirit power in the spirit ring began to flow back into my body."
"Wait a moment, let me release a Spirit Ability and see."
As he said this, Bone Douluo turned to Face an empty space to the side.
With a thought, Bone Douluo's First Spirit Ability was activated, and an attack was launched from Bone Douluo's Spirit.
"It really doesn't consume the spirit power in my body!"
Bone Douluo was thrilled.
Immediately afterward, Bone Douluo tried releasing a few more attacks, and by the way, had Ning Fengzhi use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to buff him before releasing the Spirit Ability again.
After a series of tests, the smile on Bone Douluo's Face never disappeared.
"Hahahaha, good, this is truly great. With spirit rings storing spirit power, from now on, we won't have to be as stingy with our spirit power when releasing Spirit Abilities as we were before."
Bone Douluo said happily.
Through the experiments, Bone Douluo had verified Yu Xiaogang's discovery, which was truly capable of changing the landscape of the continent.
Apart from being able to store spirit power, everything else about the spirit ring was exactly the same as before.
Even if someone stored spirit power in the spirit ring in advance and then had Ning Fengzhi provide support, the released Spirit Ability was still the buffed version.
In other words, they didn't have to worry about the spirit power stored in the spirit ring causing any adverse consequences.
"But Uncle Bone, you just said that the total amount of spirit power stored in your first spirit ring isn't much."
"Does this mean that spirit rings of different ages can store different amounts of total spirit power?"
A gleam flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
"That should be the case. After all, my first spirit ring is only a century-old spirit ring; when I absorbed it at Rank 10, the spirit power in the spirit ring raised me to Rank 12."
"That bit of spirit power is nothing to me now."
Bone Douluo said.
"I see. That means from now on, for the Spirit Masters of the Douluo Continent, high-age spirit rings will have an even greater role."
Ning Fengzhi said, cupping his chin.
Taking the ninth spirit ring as an example, there must be a huge difference in the amount of spirit power that can be stored between a 60,000-year ninth spirit ring and an 80,000-year ninth spirit ring.
The boost that an 80,000-year ninth spirit ring provides to a Spirit Master is already immense.
Now, with the added ability of the spirit ring to store spirit power, this will undoubtedly widen that gap even further.
Therefore, for the future of the Douluo Continent, Spirit Masters of the same Rank will likely be able to open up a massive gap between each other.
As for Spirit Masters of different Ranks?
Being short one spirit ring, there's absolutely no way to fight.
Thinking of all this, the expression on Ning Fengzhi's Face became somewhat uncertain.
After all, who in the entire Douluo Continent didn't know that the limit of his own Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit was Rank 79?
In the past, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was able to stand out among support system Spirit Masters by relying on its comprehensive support abilities, as well as advantages like ignoring Rank differences.
But what about in the future?
That's a gap of two spirit rings.
Especially on a day when spirit rings have become even more important.
For a moment, a trace of bewilderment appeared in Ning Fengzhi's heart.
Could his own Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda really maintain its status as the number one support Spirit?
