Chapter 69 - Sunset Forest (3) (1/2)
Nodding their heads they both took a black box, Zhu Zhuqing choose the Ice Bear King and Ning Rongrong choose the Ice Devil Titan. He then realized that he hadn't given Xiao Wu anything, but he didn't know what her mother would like but he remembered that her mother should be injured due to the injuries from Bibi Dong so thinking for a while he said,
”Xiao Wu, I don't have anything to give you right now so I can only promise to find something of equal value and if your parents or family give you any problems then I will take all the blame for this incident and ask them to forgive me”
”Haha, Brother what are you talking about?? In my family, there's only me, my mother and two brother's they won't say anything to me. But I can't say the same thing about you, my mother would be happy to have a son-in-law but my brothers... You're on your own”
”That's good, I feel slightly relieved then, I think we should go back the others might get worried that we haven't returned yet”
When they returned they saw Dai Mubai and Teacher Zhao keeping a lookout, the rest had already gone to sleep. They kept giving dirty looks towards Tang San, he just rolled his eyes and went to sleep, he naturally went to the boy's tent.
…
The next day,
Today the Shrek's Seven Devils finished their breakfast and were ready to hunt for the next few beasts. Today they were going to hunt spirit beasts for Ning Rongrong, Grandmaster gave out some advice to her regarding her next ring,
”Ning Rongrong, for your Nine Treasures Pagoda the first three attribute amplifications are Strength, Agility and Spirit Power. Using this we can see that the next should either be defense or resistance, I particularly lean towards defense as resistances are quite vague, though they cover a large are they are equivalently limited for a single spirit master and your fifth ring should help your team with offensive or healing, Oscar's first ability already covers that so the need for a healing ability isn't that necessary right now hence it should be, attack power amplification. If you have anything in your mind then tell me, we can make appropriate changes to your development plan”
”Grandmaster… for my fifth ability are you sure attack power would be better?? I was thinking that something related to stamina would be better”
”For support type spirit masters stamina boost would be a good choice but stamina recovery and stamina improvement mostly lean towards Food Type Spirit Masters and they only play an important role in wars or long and prolonged battles. That's why even I didn't advise Oscar to get such an ability, it won't help you much but if you feel that you want a healing or stamina type boost then we can use that instead of attack power, with Dai Mubai and Tang San we aren't particularly short on attack power either”
”In that case, I'll follow your advise Grandmaster so which spirit beast do you think I should hunt for a defense type??”
Flender and Liu Erlong nodded from the side, with Flender's flight and Erlong's strength they can easily isolate a spirit beast even if it's in the Ten Thousand-year range.
They had to travel for an entire day to reach the Unicorn Armoured Beast's flock they decided to get the job done as soon as possible so that they can get away and hunt for the next spirit beast. Flender and Liu Erlong were careful to not kill any of the beasts in the flock and only hurt them enough to make them incapacitated. They grabbed the Unicorn Armoured King and dragged it to a wide-open plain where the Seven Devil's were prepared to hunt it.
They fought for nearly 2 hours before they were able to defeat it, even with their current ranks, it wasn't that easy to penetrate its defense so they had to spend quite a lot of time to get it done.
At the end Ning Rongrong had killed it and she got her spirit ring, she wasn't that lucky to get a spirit bone but she was satisfied with the Fifteen Thousand Year Spirit Ring and just as everyone had expected, it gave her a defense amplification ability.
…
Soon they had hunt spirit beasts for Ning Rongrong's fifth ring and she got a thirty thousand-year-old spirit ring which gave her an attack power amplification ability.
Even Zhu Zhuqing was able to hunt two spirit beasts of fifteen thousand and thirty thousand year ranks and got two spirit abilities Hell Moon Shadow Doppelganger and Hell Moon Connecting Shadows. The first ability let her create nine clones each with 90% of her abilities and while also boosting her speed.
The second ability Hell Moon Connecting Shadows creates 18 shadows and as long as she's able to get one hit onto the opponent then even the 18 shadows will hit him in the same spot without fail.
But the surprising thing was after she had gotten her fifth spirit ring she saw that her Rank was at the 60th only needing her to get another spirit ring to rank up to the Spirit Emperor Rank. The rest of them except for Tang San were surprised, it was no wonder Tang San said she would raise by 20 ranks if she ate the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Seeing that as a chance, Tang San said he would split up with them to hunt for spirit rings for him and Xiao Wu as they didn't have enough time and they needed to go back to register for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. The others felt it was a suitable reason so they decided to split up, Liu Erlong wanted to tag along with them but he rejected saying that he would meet up with them at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well while giving them a few poison resistance pills telling them the location of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
He then took Xiao Wu directly to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, he knew that he couldn't tell them about her identity as a spirit beast yet so he naturally couldn't show them how she formed spirit rings on her own, she obtained spirit rings by spirit ring materialization until the sixtieth rank and she could form spirit rings to the maximum age her body can sustain, due to the herbs she had taken she was able to materialize a ring of 15,000 years old for the fourth and 30,000 year for the fifth. This way she wouldn't even need to worry about Soul Shock.
After reaching the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well he gave her a few pills to resist the poison in the surroundings from the formation Dugu Bo had deployed and left while saying that he would hunt for his spirit ring. In the canon, the spirit ring he had as his sixth was from Xiao Wu but he then got his spirit ring from the Beautiful Silk Tulip after her resurrection.
