Chapter 29: Absorbing the Spirit Ring, Advancing Two Levels
Generally speaking, once the Thunder Dragon Claw is released and launched, the Spirit Master who activated the skill has already lost control of it, so the Thunder Dragon Claw will explode upon colliding with an object.
However, Yu Mingfeng's Thunder Dragon Claw was different. Not only did it not explode, it even used the momentum of its flight to directly sever the Swift Dragon's right leg.
All of this could only mean that Yu Mingfeng's control over lightning energy had reached an extremely high level, which was why the lightning dragon claw he condensed was so solid.
"Roar!"
With its right leg severed at the root, the Swift Dragon let out a painful roar and collapsed helplessly to the ground.
With only one leg remaining, the Swift Dragon could no longer stand.
"It's done."
After successfully landing his strike, Yu Mingfeng could not help but smile as he explained to his son, "It is difficult for high level Spirit Masters to control their strength when accompanying low level Spirit Masters to hunt Spirit Beasts. If we use even a little too much force, the Spirit Beast will be killed outright. Because of that, we have to be very careful. If we hesitate, it might escape."
"The best way is to directly deprive the Spirit Beast of its ability to escape, which is why I immediately crippled one of its legs."
Yu Tianlin nodded in understanding.
In the original story, the couple Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Serpent Grandmother Chao Tianxiang accompanied their granddaughter Meng Yiran to hunt Spirit Beasts. They went after the Phoenix tailed Crested Snake first, then the Human faced Demon Spider, yet both Spirit Beasts escaped. In the end, Oscar and Tang San intercepted them.
It had to be said that Dragon Lord Meng Shu was a Spirit Douluo above level eighty, and Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang was a Spirit Emperor above level sixty. The two even had a Martial Spirit Fusion Skill, so they had enough confidence to face even a Title Douluo.
Yet even with such cultivation, they still failed twice to kill a mere thousand year Spirit Beast. Was it because they were weak? Of course not. On the contrary, they were too strong, so they hesitated, afraid of killing the target Spirit Beast outright and giving it a chance to escape.
At this moment, the Swift Dragon, whose right leg had been severed, struggled on the ground, trying to get up, but it was all in vain.
Yu Mingfeng walked toward the Swift Dragon, but just as he reached its side, the Swift Dragon suddenly sprang up, opened its huge mouth, and bit down hard at Yu Mingfeng.
Yu Mingfeng had anticipated this. His dragon transformed right hand smashed into the head of the Swift Dragon, knocking its head aside, and his left hand clamped down on its neck.
Even with its neck restrained, the Swift Dragon did not stop struggling. Crackling lightning gathered on its two front claws as it prepared to unleash its lightning claws again.
However, Yu Mingfeng was clearly faster. Before the Swift Dragon could launch its attack, he severed both of its front claws.
After completely subduing the Swift Dragon, Yu Mingfeng quickly said, "Tianlin, come here and stab its eyes with your short sword."
Three of the Swift Dragon's limbs had been severed by Yu Mingfeng, and blood was pouring out. If Yu Tianlin did not kill it quickly, the Swift Dragon would bleed to death soon.
Yu Tianlin reacted quickly. As soon as his father finished speaking, he took out a short sword from his dragon patterned ring, ran to the side of the Swift Dragon's ferocious head, and thrust the short sword directly into its eye.
The short sword pierced through the eye socket and stabbed straight into the Swift Dragon's brain.
The Swift Dragon's nearly nine meter long body suddenly stiffened, then struggled violently. Yu Mingfeng held it firmly in his grasp, and after a moment, the Swift Dragon finally went still.
A purple spirit ring slowly rose from its corpse. After confirming that the Swift Dragon was completely dead, Yu Mingfeng tossed its head to the ground and said, "Tianlin, you can absorb it now. I will protect you."
Yu Tianlin nodded, sat down cross legged, maintained his Spirit Possession state, and, amid the swirling lightning, began to draw in the spirit ring of the Swift Dragon.
As soon as the purple spirit ring sensed Yu Tianlin's pull, it rushed toward him as if it had found an outlet and settled above his head.
The purple light of the spirit ring descended, enveloping Yu Tianlin, and a massive surge of energy poured into his body.
Fortunately, Yu Tianlin already had experience absorbing a spirit ring once, so even when this scalding energy rushed through him like magma, he stayed calm and activated the Thunder Dragon Technique, gradually converting the energy into his own spirit power.
Grandpa Yu Yuanzhen's judgment was indeed correct. The upper limit of his second spirit ring was 1,800 years. So although it was very uncomfortable to absorb the spirit ring of this Swift Dragon, it was still within his tolerance. If it had been even a hundred years older, he would have been in danger.
About two hours passed. As dusk fell, Yu Tianlin finally completed the absorption of his second spirit ring.
"Hu."
Letting out a long breath, Yu Tianlin opened his eyes. The blue purple lightning swirling around him was clearly stronger than before.
Yu Tianlin slowly stood up, and two purple spirit rings rose from his feet, circling his body.
Two spirit rings signified that Yu Tianlin had officially stepped into the realm of a Great Spirit Master.
After obtaining his second spirit ring, Yu Tianlin had grown taller, and his muscles had filled out, making him look more robust.
Seeing this, Yu Mingfeng smiled and said, "Tianlin, congratulations on breaking through to level twenty one."
Yu Tianlin, however, said somewhat uncertainly, "Dad, after absorbing the Swift Dragon's spirit ring, my spirit power seems to have reached level twenty two, not just level twenty one."
"Oh?" Yu Mingfeng showed a surprised expression, then nodded in understanding. "Your second spirit ring is 1,800 years old, more than double the normal standard. It is normal for it to push your spirit power up by an extra level. Come, let us test your spirit power."
As he spoke, Yu Mingfeng took out a white crystal ball from his storage spirit tool.
Yu Tianlin received the crystal ball and poured his own spirit power into it. The crystal ball immediately lit up with a white glow.
The light was not very bright, only occupying about one fifth of the entire crystal ball.
However, upon seeing this thin layer of white light, Yu Mingfeng nodded in satisfaction. "That is right, it is level twenty two."
Previously, Yu Mingfeng only thought that the skills obtained from higher age spirit rings would be more powerful, and he had not paid attention to the spirit power aspect at all. He had not expected that it could also push spirit power up by one level.
Yu Tianlin was only eight years old, yet he had already reached level twenty two, completely overwhelming his peers. Moreover, this gap would widen every time he absorbed a higher age spirit ring.
Indeed, Tianlin was the hope for the rise of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.
