Space element control and lightning element control, coupled with the Nine Bend Vine Dragon, are equivalent to a unique Three Lives Martial Soul.
Although the former two cannot have Spirit Rings attached, they can be used together with the Nine Bend Vine Dragon Martial Soul.
Moreover, for Martial Souls like Element Control, the higher the cultivation, the less important the Spirit Skills become.
Instead, the Spirit Master's comprehension of elemental power is valued more.
Possessing abilities like Element Control, the deeper one's comprehension and control over elements, the more varied and self-created the Spirit Skills become.
Given the special nature of the Kongqing Bamboo, it is highly probable that after that head Spirit Bone matures to a hundred thousand years, combined with Lin Rong's own intentions, the second Spirit Bone skill will be Space Element Control.
Lin Rong closed his eyes and looked inward.
The trace of divinity within his bloodline had grown considerably compared to a year ago when he first refined it.
Furthermore, as Lin Rong's own cultivation continued to improve, the growth rate of the divinity in his bloodline would also accelerate.
Throughout his body, his head, heart, and left leg emitted faint lights of different colors.
The faint light at his head was a mix of cyan and silver.
The cyan and silver light symbolized the powers of life and space, indicating the head Spirit Bone of the Kongqing Bamboo absorbing these two forces and continuously growing.
The faint light at his heart was a mix of cyan and green.
The cyan and green symbolized pure life energy, indicating the external Spirit Bone, the Heart of the Banyan Wood, absorbing life energy and growing.
The faint light at his left leg was a mix of cyan and blue.
The cyan was faint, and the blue was dark, symbolizing the vitality and destruction contained within lightning, and also indicating the left leg bone of the Thunderclap Nether Vine absorbing lightning power and growing.
Among these three Spirit Bones, the Thunderclap Nether Vine left leg bone had the highest age, having now grown to over fifteen thousand years.
The remaining external Spirit Bone, the Heart of the Banyan Wood, and the Kongqing Bamboo head Spirit Bone, were similar in age. They had both grown to over nine thousand seven hundred years.
They were only over two hundred years away from growing into Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.
Whether it was Spirit Beasts, Spirit Rings, or Spirit Bones, the transformation from a hundred to a thousand years was a qualitative leap, and the same applied from a thousand to ten thousand years.
The Kongqing Bamboo head Spirit Bone was one of the standard six Spirit Bones, and before it matured to a hundred thousand years, it would not develop any new skills.
However, the Heart of the Banyan Wood was an external Spirit Bone and could not be judged by conventional standards.
Therefore, it was highly possible that the Heart of the Banyan Wood would develop new abilities after growing into a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
This filled Lin Rong with a bit of anticipation.
Judging by the current growth rate of the Spirit Bones, the Heart of the Banyan Wood and the Kongqing Bamboo head Spirit Bone would mature into Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones within half a month at the latest.
At that time, with three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, although still far from fifty thousand years, Lin Rong, protected by his Life Dragon Soul, would find the potential dangers of cultivating Exploding Rings to be negligible.
Lin Rong walked to the window and looked outside.
It was still early, and the sun had only just reached the western side of the sky. It would be another three hours until dusk.
"During the day, there are too many people and prying eyes, making it inconvenient to act."
"It's better to wait until after dark to make a move on kidnapping Lou Gao from the Tang Sect."
"With the cover of night, using Space Spirit Skills will be less likely to be detected."
Besides Lou Gao, Lin Rong also needed to prepare for the chain reaction caused by Tang Xiao's death to deal with the upcoming situation.
The Clear Sky Sect could be disregarded. With Tang Chen missing, Tang Hao disowned, and Tang Xiao dead, those six elders would not dare to descend the mountain to trouble him before they all broke through to become Titled Douluo.
However, Tang Hao required special attention.
Given Tang Yuehua's personality, after confirming Tang Xiao's death, she would likely inform Tang Hao first, rather than the elders of the Clear Sky Sect.
At the same time, based on Tang Hao's personality, after learning the cause and effect of the matter, two scenarios would occur.
Either he would fly into a rage and seek revenge without regard for the consequences.
Or he would endure the suffering and wait for Tang San to grow up before settling the score together.
However, ever since Tang San's mother died, Tang Hao had become increasingly decadent, losing the spirited ambition he once possessed.
Therefore, it was highly probable that Tang Hao would not fly into a rage but would choose to endure, placing all his hopes on Tang San.
But the reality was ultimately uncertain.
Lin Rong could not guarantee that Tang Hao would definitely choose to endure.
It was possible that Tang Hao, suddenly tired of living, would tell Tang Yuehua everything he wanted to entrust to Tang San, and then choose to perish together with him and the old butler.
Therefore, rather than passively waiting, it was better to take the initiative.
"Upon hearing the news of his elder brother's death, Tang Hao should, both out of reason and emotion, go to Heaven Dou City to see Tang San and Tang Yuehua."
"It seems I need to instruct the hidden guards lurking in Nuoding City to have the bribed villagers in Holy Spirit Village keep a close watch on Tang Hao."
"Once Tang Hao shows any signs of leaving Holy Spirit Village, the Sharp-tailed Swift must immediately relay this information back."
"At that time, my old butler and I will ambush him on the road to Heaven Dou City and intercept him there."
"This is called using his own methods against him. Since Tang Xiao and Titan intercepted first, karma has come full circle, and it's time for Tang Hao to taste this experience."
As Lin Rong thought about it, his mind was already contemplating the spoils of war from Tang Hao.
Among the Spirit Masters of Tang Hao's generation.
Tang Hao and Bibi Dong were the only two individuals to possess a full set of six Spirit Bones.
Although Tang Hao's six Spirit Bones were not as luxurious as Bibi Dong's, they were still quite remarkable.
Of his six Spirit Bones, two were inherited from the Clear Sky Sect and exceeded fifty thousand years in age.
One was a Right Arm Bone, and the other was a Left Leg Bone, both comparable in quality to the Left Arm Bone obtained from Tang Xiao.
The remaining four Spirit Bones had unknown ages, but were definitely not less than ten thousand years.
In addition to these six Spirit Bones, Tang Hao possessed three other significant assets:
The Blue Silver Emperor Life Seed, a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and a Hundred Thousand Year transformed Spirit Beast.
Of these three items.
The Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was one of the six regular Spirit Bones Lin Rong had reserved.
Lin Rong also had his own use for the Blue Silver Emperor Life Seed.
The sixth Spirit Ring he had reserved was the Blue Silver King from the Blue Silver Forest, whose cultivation was eighty-five thousand years.
When the time came, Lin Rong could extract the royal bloodline contained within the Blue Silver Emperor Life Seed for the Blue Silver King to absorb.
The stronger the foundation and bloodline of the Blue Silver King, the higher the quality of his sixth Spirit Ring would be.
As for the other Hundred Thousand Year transformed rabbit, its Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone had sufficient age, but their quality was too poor, and their attributes did not match his Martial Soul, so Lin Rong found it completely unappealing.
"A pity, Grandpa Yu's Spirit Ring slots are full, so that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring can only be absorbed by someone else."
"However, that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bone can be left for Grandpa Yu."
"This way, Grandpa Yu will have his full set of six regular Spirit Bones."
The Clear Sky Sect's three inherited Spirit Bones: the Right Arm, Left Arm, and Left Leg positions.
Four years later, the Wisdom Head Bone that focused spiritual energy, to be obtained at the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament.
The Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit Bone, whose position could be chosen at will, along with the old butler's existing Torso Bone, would perfectly complete the set of six Spirit Bones of different positions.
Among the six Spirit Bones, two were Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bones, and four exceeded fifty thousand years in age.
This Spirit Bone configuration, in the original work, aside from Tang San, the anomaly, only Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had more luxurious Spirit Bone setups.
Of course, this was based on the unknown Spirit Bone situations of Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, and Qian Daoliu.
Tang Chen was buried by Bo Saixi after his death, his Spirit Bones unknown, and their ages unknown.
However, judging from the three inherited Spirit Bones Tang Chen left for the Clear Sky Sect, he himself was definitely a full Spirit Bone user, with each bone exceeding fifty thousand years in age.
The only uncertainty was whether any of these six Spirit Bones were Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Bones.
Secondly, Qian Daoliu possessed at least one Spirit Bone, which was the Angel Divine Armor left behind when Qian Renxue entered the divine position inheritance, Qian Daoliu having sacrificed himself.
No other Spirit Bones appeared, leading to the conclusion that Qian Daoliu likely only had this one.
Finally, Bo Saixi did not leave behind a single Spirit Bone when Tang San entered the divine position inheritance, making her most likely the only one among the three peerless Douluo without any Spirit Bones.
