After experimenting for a while, Xu Yang roughly understood the characteristics of his own spirit. He quickly slipped into the dormitory, simply changed into a new set of clothes, and then went into the orphanage's library, heading straight for the area about spirit skills and spirit beasts. From there, he took out a book about fire-attribute spirit beasts and a book about light-attribute spirit beasts.
He wanted to plan out which spirit rings to absorb for his Sun Spirit.
The Sun Spirit possessed the power of the sun, extremely yang and extremely strong, with attributes close to both ultimate fire and light. Therefore, the spirit rings he absorbed had to come from spirit beasts with either fire or light attributes, preferably those related to the sun or possessing both attributes simultaneously.
Spirit masters with the same type of spirit who absorbed the same type of spirit beast would generally have similar spirit skills, without much difference.
Therefore, the books also had detailed descriptions of what kind of spirit skills each spirit beast could provide.
"First, I need a spirit skill that can help me manipulate flames. With this spirit skill, I can meticulously control flames through training. This way, no matter what kind of spirit skill I add later, I won't lack attack methods."
Attacks with flames are basically of two types: one is a change in properties, and the other is a change in form. With a spirit skill to manipulate flames, there's no need to worry about changes in form. The remaining spirit rings can all be focused on enhancing the change in properties, allowing it to reach the level of ultimate fire.
"Fire Spirit Saint Beast, a top-tier fire-attribute spirit beast, has an extremely strong ability to manipulate flames. They mostly live in volcanoes with rich fire elements. Hunting them with a beast spirit will increase resistance to flames, and the spirit skill from hunting them with a weapon spirit is a flame-releasing type spirit skill, while the spirit skill from hunting them with a fire-element spirit is fire element control!"
"That's the one!"
After seeing the introduction of the Fire Spirit Saint Beast, Xu Yang couldn't take his eyes off it. This spirit beast perfectly met his expectations, but its numbers were too scarce, making it difficult to find a suitable one.
You should know that if the Fire Spirit Saint Beast grows to its peak, it can be compared to the Ice Empress.
Who is the Ice Empress?! Ranked third among the ten great ferocious beasts, the true king of the far north, the undisputed number one.
And the Fire Spirit Saint Beast can be compared to the Ice Empress, both being elemental spirits, which shows how rare and powerful it is.
So he decided to take another look to see if there were any other options.
For spirit rings, his choice was to prefer quality over quantity. If he couldn't find a suitable one, he wouldn't absorb it. Anyway, according to a certain master's theory, it wouldn't affect his cultivation.
Of course, he also needed backup plans. He couldn't stay in one realm forever just because he couldn't find a suitable one, so backup spirit beasts were a must.
Soon, Xu Yang discovered another suitable spirit beast in the book—the Sun Flower. Just from the name, it was clear that this spirit beast was related to the sun. Its attributes were also both fire and light, and it also had a bit of mental attribute, similar to the sunflowers of his previous life. It could gather and attract the power of the sun to improve its cultivation, and it could also heal the surrounding spirit beasts.
What he valued was its ability to gather and attract the power of the sun. This ability would also be inherited by the spirit master. This ability was too compatible with the Sun Spirit. Combined with his own characteristics, he didn't know how much it could improve his cultivation speed.
"Perhaps the Sun Flower is more suitable for the first spirit ring!"
After considering it, Xu Yang decided to choose the Sun Flower for his first spirit ring. This spirit skill was too compatible with the Sun Spirit. With the ability to gather the power of the sun, he was equivalent to carrying a simulated cultivation field with him, which could improve his cultivation at all times.
The sooner he obtained this kind of spirit skill, the better.
The most important thing was that there were many Sun Flowers, making them relatively easy to obtain.
But he still had to take another look, maybe there were better options...
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, or the spirit beasts in the orphanage's library weren't complete enough. Xu Yang didn't find any other suitable spirit beasts, not even one that met his expectations.
At this time, Xu Yang didn't know at all that not far outside the house, four people were looking at him with curious expressions.
"Ning Fengzhi, I didn't expect this child to be so much more mature than the other orphans. As soon as he awakened his spirit, he went to the library to look for a suitable spirit beast."
"Yes! According to the information given by the dean, this child was picked up near Seven Treasure City. I don't know who his parents are?! But he is very sensible and has never caused him any trouble. He even takes the initiative to take on some tasks to take care of the orphans. None of the orphans in the same batch as him don't admire him!"
"Not only that, he listens very carefully when the teacher teaches, without the slightest slack. His attitude is very upright. I admire him just for this!"
As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi looked at Xu Yang with increasing satisfaction. He had already decided in his heart to take this child as his disciple.
"Indeed not bad!" Gu Rong said with a smile on his face.
"Madam, Sword Uncle, Gu Uncle! Let's go! Let's go see this child!"
Ning Fengzhi greeted the three people beside him and took the lead to enter the orphanage. Under the guidance of the dean, Ning Que, they walked towards the library.
"Xiao Yang, the Sect Master, the Sect Master's wife, and the two Grand Elders have come to see you. Why aren't you coming out to greet them!"
Before even entering the library, Ning Que's voice echoed throughout the entire library. Usually, few people came to the orphanage's library except for Xu Yang, so there was no rule to keep quiet.
Hearing the voice, Xu Yang quickly got up, closed the book and notes on the table, and looked towards the door.
Behind Ning Que were four people. The two leading figures were a middle-aged man and woman who looked like a couple at first glance.
The man had a face like jade, a straight nose and a square mouth, and gentle eyes. He looked refined and elegant, wearing a spotless white robe, with a head of black hair draped behind him, not at all pretentious. The woman was as gentle as water, with an oval face and fair, jade-like skin. She was also dressed in white, but it was a long dress, with chestnut-colored hair reaching her waist, possessing a noble and refined temperament.
The two people behind them were elders. One had a simple and unadorned appearance, with white hair and beard, wearing a spotless snow-white robe, with a very indifferent expression. His eyes seemed unable to see anything around him, just standing there quietly, yet giving people a feeling that he was the only one who mattered in the world.
The other had a withered face, with shriveled muscles and skin, and sunken eye sockets. His figure was not the kind of extremely inflated and strong build, but his entire body frame was surprisingly large. His clothes seemed to be completely supported by his skeleton, with only a few white hairs on his head, and a terrifying height of nearly two and a half meters.
Just from their attire, he guessed who the people were: Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and the Sect Master's wife, who was not mentioned in the original work. Anyway, he didn't know who she was.
"Xu Yang greets the Sect Master, Madam, and the two Elders!"
Xu Yang lowered his posture and respectfully looked at the four people and said.
Towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even knowing that their acceptance had ulterior motives, Xu Yang was very grateful. If it weren't for the sect's acceptance, he might have died long ago, let alone living peacefully and comfortably until awakening his Spirit.
Therefore, Xu Yang had the respect he should have.
