Chapter 43 The Switched Soul Ring
Tang San was already familiar with this.
He sat cross-legged on the spot, his right hand outstretched, a pale blue halo shimmering in his palm. In an instant, a small, lush blue blade of grass appeared.
Along with the Blue Silver Grass, a spirit ring also appeared; a white 10-year spirit ring quietly floated around Tang San.
The white is blinding, the white is dazzling.
Seeing this, Dean Notting subconsciously glanced at Yu Xiaogang.
A first spirit ring at 10 years old is very common at Notting Academy. Children from ordinary families don't have many choices, and a first spirit ring at 10 years old is basically the norm, or even the standard.
From this perspective, it seems quite normal that Tang San's first spirit ring was 10 years old.
On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang, the teacher, had a 100-year spirit ring as his first spirit ring, but he found a 10-year spirit ring for his apprentice.
It's outrageous!
Perhaps Xiao Gang didn't value him as a disciple that much. Dean Notting thought to himself.
Feeling his friend's gaze, Yu Xiaogang's noodles twitched involuntarily.
Even after so much time has passed, I still find it hard to let go.
Even now, seeing that white 10-year soul ring still feels glaring.
Tang San didn't have time to think about that. With a thought, the white ten-year soul ring floated to the top of his head and slowly descended.
Tang San closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and began to absorb the second soul ring of his life.
Tang San felt a warm current slowly flowing through his limbs and bones, warming every part of his body.
The power of the spirit rings is gentle and warm.
This feeling is completely different from the last time he absorbed a spirit ring. If the last time it was like being thrown into boiling lava...
So this time it felt like soaking in a hot spring, comfortable and warm.
Tang San smiled slightly. "Come on, my second spirit ring. I'm sure you won't disappoint me."
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of pride and nodded with satisfaction.
In his view, Tang San has finally embarked on the path of a Soul Master today.
That trashy 10-year soul ring from before was completely unworthy of the mistress.
He wished he could just remove and throw away that blinding spirit ring.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it; once a spirit ring is successfully fused, it cannot be replaced.
Fortunately, his disciple Tang San possessed twin martial souls. Although wasting a soul ring slot was a pity, it was still within an acceptable range.
Lin Ye was the happiest person at the scene.
This time, instead of controlling Tang San's body like before, he pulled off a fancy trick.
Using the Nightmare Soul Skill, they created an illusion and switched the soul beast that Tang San used to make his soul ring with a worthless one, making Tang San absorb that trash soul ring himself.
In Tang San's view, he was hunting a 600-year-old Ghost Vine, and the spirit ring produced by the Ghost Vine was also a yellow 100-year spirit ring.
In reality, that Ghost Vine was only 10 years old, and its spirit ring was a dazzling white.
Looking at the two white spirit rings hanging on Tang San's body, Lin Ye was in a great mood and happily hummed a little tune.
"I laughed triumphantly, laughed triumphantly..."
The sound was quite loud, but Yu Xiaogang and his two companions, engrossed in the illusion, were completely unaware.
The illusions created by nightmares can also affect hearing.
While Tang San was still fusing his spirit rings, Lin Ye began dealing with the crime scene.
He first put the corpse of the 10-year-old ghost vine into the dragon-patterned jade pendant.
Then he pulled out a knife and with a few swift strokes, chopped the 600-year-old ghost vine into several sections.
Some yellow specks of light floated up from the corpse of Gui Teng and gathered together to form a yellow soul ring.
Lin Ye ignored this and simply placed the broken pieces of the ghost vine in the original spot where the 10-year-old ghost vine had been, and arranged them properly.
In this way, a perfect crime scene is created.
Hehehe, you little rascal, get ready, a surprise is coming!
In less than half an hour, Tang San successfully fused with Gui Teng's spirit ring.
Two soul rings, one white and one yellow, surrounded his body, pulsating gently.
Seeing that Tang San had successfully fused with the spirit ring without any unexpected incidents, Yu Xiaogang was very pleased. He was truly worthy of being his disciple.
But while I was pleased, I was also somewhat disappointed. Wouldn't this prove that my theory was really wrong?
Plant-type martial souls really cannot absorb the soul rings of animal-type soul beasts.
Shaking his head to clear his mind of those messy thoughts, Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and said, "Little San, take a look at your Blue Silver Grass."
Tang San looked down and saw that the appearance of the Blue Silver Grass had changed.
It used to be grass, but now it looks like a vine, more like a ghost vine, except that the color and texture remain the same.
Tang San's lips curled into a smile. The Blue Silver Grass had become even more resilient and possessed the toxin of the Ghost Vine, a toxin that could paralyze the nerves.
Moreover, even the odors that evaporate into the air can have a certain effect.
"By the way, Xiao San, what is your soul skill? What are its effects?" Yu Xiaogang asked impatiently.
Tang San said, "Parasitism, my second soul skill is Parasitism. As long as the Blue Silver Grass touches the opponent, it will leave a parasitic seed on them."
Later, when I use the Parasitic Soul Skill, these seeds will instantly grow into Blue Silver Grass, catching my opponent off guard.
"Good, good, good!" Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and said "good" three times in a row.
"This soul skill is quite good. If used properly, it can even be used to defeat someone in one blow."
Dean Notting wanted to offer his congratulations, but he suddenly noticed that Tang San's spirit rings seemed to have faded a little.
He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again. The color of the spirit ring was even lighter.
"Tang San, look at your spirit rings."
Upon hearing this, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang looked closely and quickly realized that something was wrong.
"What, what's going on?" Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled, and his heart skipped a beat, with a sense of foreboding.
Tang San panicked even more. Seeing that his spirit ring had turned pale yellow, he hurriedly asked Yu Xiaogang for help: "Teacher, how could this happen? Quickly think of a way to stop it!"
Yu Xiaogang was at a loss. He had never heard of such a situation before, so how could he know how to deal with it?
The master and apprentice were in a panic, pacing back and forth like ants on a hot pan.
Gradually, the yellow spirit ring changed from yellow to light yellow, and then to white.
It's the same color as the first spirit ring.
It's so white it's blinding, so white it hurts your teeth.
"Teacher, what happened? Why did it turn out like this?" Tang San asked, his face contorted with grief, as if he had lost his parents.
"This..." Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
He had no idea why; he had never heard of anyone losing the lifespan of a spirit ring they absorbed.
If last time it could be explained by the fact that plant-based martial souls cannot absorb animal soul rings, then this time it's truly inexplicable.
Silence. The scene was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.
This continued for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, until Yu Xiaogang's sigh broke the silence.
"Let's go back."
