Chapter 17 - Last, Second Spirit Ring (1/2)
After getting a ring for his Samsara Eye he left the North and went towards Sunset Forest. He decided to get the third ring for his Blue Silver Grass, in these vacations itself as he didn't want to come back again. Due to him having four spirits with such great abilities his cultivation speed would eventually decrease once he reaches the 30th rank.
So most of his high-speed cultivation would start to reduce but with this, he would have quite some time to solidify his potential and hone his combat skills and experience at that time.
But even if his speed his reduced he would still be considered a genius with that. Even his current stage of a rank 27 Spirit Grandmaster itself is enough to make people drop their jaws at his speed.
By the time he joins Shrek he estimated himself to reach the 39th rank and the 59th rank before the Continental Tournament. He even decided to go to slaughter city before the tournament so he wanted to improve his physical strength at that time.
After reaching the Sunset Forest he used his Spiritual Detection to search for a Man Faced Demon Spider. He found many of them but only a few were above 50.000-year range and there was one who was at the 90.000-year range. He decided to use that for his third ring, as it would be easier to upgrade it to 100.000-years or a higher ring later on.
He also wanted to test out his Ice Jade Empress Scorpion spirit so he fought it head on, he didn't even use the other spirits this time. While fighting he used the Ice Empress Pincer and made his arms into Jade colored Pincers. He used his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step to keep up with the movements of this spider.
This actually infuriated it, whenever it used an attack it missed but all his attacks landed on the beast perfectly. His knowledge on medicine also extended towards Spirit Beasts, so he was able to find proper acupoints and weaknesses of the beast.
He was literally toying with the beast, he knew that this would push it into the corner and attack in a desperate manner but for him, the Eight Legged Lances were much more important so he didn't care and infuriated it even further.
When he was unable to dodge any attack his Ice Empress' armor mitigated most of the damage, seeing that the Man-Faced Demon Spider tried to escape but he didn't let it and followed it with Ghost Shadow Step.
It also let out poisonous webs towards him but he used his Forbidden Jade Hands and caught them with his Ice Empress Pincers, the Forbidden Jade Hands was boosted by a great amount. Only now did he notice that this Man-Faced Demon Spider was actually a variation and had 12 legs instead of the usual eight.
If he had used his Spiritual detection then he would have noticed this early on but now he couldn't. He had no choice after coming so far so he decided to bet on it and continued to fight the beast. Soon the Man-faced spider went crazy and gave up on all defenses and let out a frenzied attack.
He didn't wait anymore and used ultimate ice along with ice explosion, this way the fight ended very quickly. He didn't wait and started to absorb the ring as it came out of its body. It was a deep black colored ring he took out his Blue Silver grass and let it absorb the ring.
His previous Hundred thousand and Million-year rings were absorbed due to outside help by sealing up most of their powers this ring was actually being absorbed on his own because he wanted to get the Origin of the Man Faced Spider and the Eight Spider Lances along with it.
While he was absorbing the ring he was able to see a large black spider much similar to the one he had just fought. He went towards it and activated his devour skill. The spider let out a frenzied roar and did its last-ditch attack but that failed and was eventually absorbed by Tang San.
After he had exited that place he saw that the black ring was absorbed and it was a 97.000-year-old ring. He then checked out his status

He was quite satisfied with his gains, he then released his Blue Silver Grass and saw that it had two rings one yellow and one black. The Black ring had a slight red color to it.
He opened the store and saw that the price to buy a 10.000-year boost was 100.000 gold coins. He could only smile in sadness at that, though it was not impossible it was quite tough for his present self. He can only think about this in the future when he has sufficient money.
Thinking about ways to make money he left the forest.
