Chapter 37: Myriad Armor Vine spirit ring!Subsequently, Fu Shiyan combined the theoretical knowledge of Spirits in his mind to plan two more first spirit ring choices that were most suitable for Tang San's current Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul development direction."Little San, the potential of your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is far from being limited by the ordinary control system.""As your teacher, I have selected three types of suitable Spirit Beasts for you, each with a different focus. You may consider them for yourself."Fu Shiyan's tone was calm as he handed the power of choice over to Tang San."Please guide me, Master," Tang San said respectfully."First, the Myriad Armor Vine.""This kind of Spirit Beast has majestic vitality, and its defense and toughness are extremely strong.""If you choose it as your first spirit ring, it can greatly improve the toughness and vitality of your Blue Silver Grass, making it more resistant to attacks, and its binding power will also greatly increase.""Second, the century-old Green Cloud Bamboo.""The Green Cloud Bamboo is a Spirit Beast that is hollow but grows taller section by section; it is steadfast and also contains a pure life aura.""Choosing it as your first spirit ring can also make your Blue Silver Grass tougher, while simultaneously increasing its affinity for life energy and its recovery speed.""Third, the Purple Sun Mushroom.""This is a relatively rare Spirit Beast that contains gentle and abundant life energy and a special Photosynthetic Power.""If you choose it for your spirit ring, your Blue Silver Grass will gain powerful support and endurance capabilities. It might even derive effects such as healing or recovering spirit power, perhaps allowing you to take the route of team support and battles of attrition."Fu Shiyan clearly laid out the pros and cons of the three choices before Tang San, then quietly waited for his decision.He did not forcibly designate a choice, as he also wanted to see Tang San's own inclination.Tang San hardly hesitated, saying with a firm gaze:"Master, I choose the Myriad Armor Vine."He knew deeply that whether it was from the experiences in the simulation or the warnings of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, one's own strength and control over the battlefield were the fundamentals.A flash of approval crossed Fu Shiyan's eyes, and he nodded, saying, "Good, then we shall seek it."The master and disciple spoke no more and went deeper into the Hunting Soul Forest.With Fu Shiyan, this 'Human Radar,' present, finding a specific Spirit Beast was not a difficult task.His powerful mental strength spread out like mercury covering the ground, accurately capturing the life auras within the forest.In less than half an hour, Fu Shiyan paused and cast his gaze toward an area of deep green vines entangled around thick ancient trees.There, a Myriad Armor Vine with a main body diameter exceeding half a meter, its skin covered in four woody patterns and emitting a heavy life aura, was slowly writhing."Found it."Before Fu Shiyan's voice had even faded, an invisible spirit power pressure descended like a mountain, accurately enveloping that Myriad Armor Vine with a cultivation of about four hundred and thirty-five years.The Myriad Armor Vine originally wanted to struggle, but under Fu Shiyan's terrifying pressure, it instantly became as rigid as if it were frozen, unable to even tremble its leaves in the slightest.Fu Shiyan then signaled Tang San with his eyes.Tang San understood immediately. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and the refined steel short sword already prepared in his hand pierced with incomparable precision into the core where the Myriad Armor Vine's spirit power converged!"Puchi!"Sap splashed slightly, and the Myriad Armor Vine twitched violently once before completely losing its vitality.A bright yellow spirit ring slowly condensed and emerged from its corpse, emitting soft and stable spirit power fluctuations."Sit cross-legged and focus your mind on your Spirit!" Fu Shiyan's voice rang out in a timely manner.Tang San immediately did as he was told, holding his breath and concentrating.The yellow spirit ring was drawn toward him, arriving above his head and quickly shrinking to the size of a bracelet, steadily settling onto the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul emerging from his palm.A burst of pure and majestic energy instantly flooded into his body, washing through his meridians.Tang San kept Fu Shiyan's reminder to "stay conscious" firmly in mind, circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill with all his might to guide this energy to fuse with his Spirit.And during the process of absorbing the spirit ring, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was also undergoing a wonderful transformation.The originally light blue grass leaves deepened in color, turning into a more profound and mysterious deep blue, while the silver patterns that were already there became increasingly clear.Although the process involved the swelling pain brought by the energy impact, under the harmonization of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the protection of Fu Shiyan, there was no danger.About an hour later, Tang San slowly opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed through his pupils and vanished, and he felt his entire body filled with strength."How do you feel?"Fu Shiyan asked, and after a brief perception, he said with some surprise,"Hmm? Your spirit power has directly risen to Rank 14?""It seems this Myriad Armor Vine spirit ring is extremely compatible with your Blue Silver Grass; the feedback has far exceeded the norm."Tang San was also surprised and delighted upon hearing this:"Rank 14?"He clearly remembered that in the simulation, he was Rank 13 after obtaining his first spirit ring. This extra rank was undoubtedly the benefit brought by the correct path his master had chosen for him and the perfect compatibility of the Spirit!He couldn't wait to activate his Spirit again. With a thought, the Blue Silver Grass instantly surged from his palm.Compared to before, the change was obvious:The color of the grass leaves had changed from light blue to a more profound and restrained deep blue.The original silver patterns had become clearer.The most significant change was the texture; if the previous Blue Silver Grass was compared to a hollow bamboo pole, then the current Blue Silver Grass was like a solid tree trunk."Master, my Blue Silver Grass seems to have become several times tougher, and... its vitality is also much richer."Tang San felt it carefully and reported to Fu Shiyan.Fu Shiyan nodded; this was the focus of his attention.He casually picked up a piece of hard rock from the ground and tossed it to Tang San:"Use your Blue Silver Grass, without relying on any Spirit Ability, and driven purely by spirit power, try to bind it."Tang San did as he was told, controlling the deep blue Blue Silver Grass to Binding toward the rock.Under his fine control, the Blue Silver Grass was like a sentient spiritual snake, easily tying the rock up tightly.He tried to pull hard, but the rock didn't budge, and the Blue Silver Grass itself showed no sign of snapping, demonstrating amazing toughness."Did you feel it?"Fu Shiyan said indifferently, "What the spirit ring bestows upon you, first and foremost, is the strengthening of the Spirit's essence.""Toughness and vitality—these are the foundation.""As for specific morphological changes and attack methods..."Before his voice had even faded, and without any flash from the spirit rings on his body, he merely raised a finger. A Blue Silver branch, also appearing deep blue but more condensed, appeared out of thin air, darting out like lightning to instantly Binding another larger rock nearby.In the next second, that huge rock instantly shattered!"This..."Tang San's pupils constricted. He saw clearly that his master hadn't used any Spirit Ability; merely by relying on his control over the Spirit itself and subtle manipulation of spirit power, he had achieved an attack effect swifter and more powerful than Tang San's just now!"A Spirit Ability is merely a method of utilizing a Spirit that has been solidified after the spirit ring's energy merges with the Spirit."Fu Shiyan looked at the thoughtful Tang San and said slowly,"But true mastery lies in understanding the essence of the Spirit and in controlling your own spirit power as if it were an extension of your own arm.""The foundation of your Blue Silver Grass has now been greatly enhanced. As long as your spirit power control is fine enough, that basic Binding and binding from just now, or even more complex changes, should naturally be at your command; you shouldn't have to rely on a specific century-old Spirit Ability."
