“You absorbed a spirit ring?”
The moment Bai Qing saw Tie Li, he sensed the spirit power fluctuations from him.
Tie Li had already prepared a set of excuses for this.
“While fleeing, I encountered a heavily injured Spirit Beast. To increase my chances of survival, I decided to kill it and make it my spirit ring. Perhaps its injuries were severe, as it didn’t resist much before I killed it.”
With that, Tie Li released his hundred-year spirit ring.
“What, it’s a hundred-year spirit ring?”
“How can your luck be so good!”
Lu Baichuan and He Dadan looked at the yellow spirit ring in disbelief. They couldn't mistake the aura of a hundred-year spirit ring.
Bai Qing’s eyes slightly changed. He felt a familiar aura on this spirit ring.
“Your luck is good.” Bai Qing gave Tie Li a meaningful glance, then said no more.
Given such a major incident, he needed to report back to the Dean.
Most importantly, the Hunter Soul Group’s leader had escaped.
It wasn’t until they left the Hunting Soul Forest that the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Having never experienced such major upheavals, what the three of them needed most at this moment was to go back and get some good rest.
After bringing them back to the Academy entrance, Bai Qing eagerly went to find the Dean.
The three parted ways at the Academy entrance, each returning home.
As soon as he returned home, Tie Li put his satchel aside, took off his outer coat and inner armor, and plunged into bed.
He slept until the next morning before slowly waking up.
“Brother is awake, Brother is awake.”
Tie Wen and Tie Wu, who were observing by the bed, shouted towards the door as soon as they saw Tie Li wake up.
Tie Niu and his wife quickly put down what they were doing and came to Tie Li’s bedside.
Facing his Family’s concern, Tie Li downplayed the details of his experience.
He also specifically mentioned that there was wolf king fur in the satchel, which could sell for a good price.
Seeing that Tie Li was fine, the Family had their usual morning meal.
After Tie Li finished eating heartily, he went out and headed to the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Manno City.
“To become a Spirit Master at ten years old, and for the first spirit ring to be a hundred-year spirit ring.”
The middle-aged attendant responsible for reception looked at Tie Li with some surprise.
An entry was added to Tie Li’s Spirit Master handbook.
Rank 10 Spirit Master, registration date, Douluo Calendar 2631. Registered at Manno City Martial Soul Branch Hall.
When he received a gold coin, Tie Li found himself hopelessly in love with this little fellow.
The unique scent of the gold coin was intoxicating.
Although he was now a Spirit Master, classes still had to continue.
Tie Li returned to the Academy to continue his classes for the day; these were all things he needed to learn.
In class, Tie Li listened to the teacher explaining the strengths and weaknesses of Spirit, and couldn't help but start thinking about his future development direction.
The Thunder Serpent spirit ring endowed his Spirit with greater power and lightning elements. The spirit rings he would seek next should preferably be based on these two attributes.
The Forging Hammer Spirit itself was not a powerful Spirit, and there was no room for error;
If the second spirit ring were to absorb an agility-type spirit ring, it would not only waste the second spirit ring, but 80% of the Spirit Ability obtained would also be useless, clashing with his inherent combat style.
Unless it was a spirit ring formed from a Spirit Beast with an exceptional Bloodline, perhaps then a good Spirit Ability might be born.
By acquiring spirit rings primarily with power and lightning elements as main attributes, even if the Spirit’s quality was average, with the superposition of spirit rings, there could still be a decent amplification.
His first spirit ring was a hundred-year spirit ring, which gave him a good foundation.
Originally, he thought the end of his life would be a Four Rings Spirit Ancestor, but now he had to slightly modify that; a Five Rings Soul King was his goal.
He didn't demand to be a Spirit King with a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, but at least two thousand-year spirit rings. By then, returning to Manno City, he would be the strongest expert.
Establishing a Spirit Master Family would surely make them the most powerful Family in Manno City.
However, a Spirit Master Family with a deep foundation requires a Legacy Spirit, corresponding attribute Reiki Meditation, spirit ring combinations, and so on.
It's a long and arduous Dao!
He couldn't consider such a distant future yet, but he generally had an idea in mind.
It was just that after class, he was blocked by a few work-study students.
He had no interaction with work-study students; conflicts usually occurred between them and noble students.
Looking at their stance, they weren't planning on letting him go.
“Maliciously provoking and instigating fights in the Academy will get you expelled;
What? You don’t want to stay in the Academy anymore, so you’re deliberately coming to trouble me.”
Frightened by Tie Li’s words, their faces indeed showed worry.
When they usually looked for noble students, they never pulled this stunt.
Tie Li was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and walked past them towards the cafeteria.
If it were noble students, who would care about the Academy’s rules!
This time, he ordered two extra meat dishes and three steamed buns at the cafeteria.
His spirit power Rank had increased, and his appetite had also grown, mainly because the gold coin gave him a lot of confidence.
However, he couldn’t waste too much; he didn’t know if his two younger brothers could become Spirit Masters. If they were to develop Innate spirit power, their entry into an Elementary Soul Master Academy would be a considerable expense.
After all, with his precedent, their chances of developing Innate spirit power were somehow greater than those of ordinary people.
After eating his fill and leaving the cafeteria, he encountered that group of work-study students again.
There was a leading young man, and Tie Li recognized him at a glance.
Li Li!
Generally speaking, a Spirit Master’s Innate spirit power is related to the Spirit’s quality; the stronger the Spirit, the stronger the accompanying Innate spirit power.
But there are always exceptions.
Li Li was that exception.
His Spirit was just an ordinary scythe, but his Innate spirit power reached Rank seven.
Li Li, a sixth-grader, had already reached Rank 17 in spirit power. Intermediate Soul Master Academies had started contacting him, not only waiving all tuition and miscellaneous fees but also offering subsidies.
Most importantly, his first spirit ring was also a hundred-year spirit ring, unlike the ten-year spirit rings of other students.
The Academy’s version of the story was that they were lingering on the outskirts of the Hunting Soul Forest and happened to encounter a Spirit Beast that had just broken through to a hundred years. Coincidentally, all three students accompanying him acquired spirit rings, and this hundred-year spirit ring just happened to benefit him.
“Why are you here again?”
“I think you might have misunderstood; I’m not here to cause you trouble, but to discuss something with you.” Li Li said.
He originally didn’t want to be the leader of the work-study students, but they insisted on pushing him into that position.
He had only intended to have someone arrange a meeting with Tie Li, but it turned into a declaration of war in their ears.
As a result, he suffered a silent loss, and Li Li had no choice but to bring them to explain.
“Are you looking for me for something?” Tie Li asked.
He had no friendship with Li Li, so it certainly wasn’t anything good.
“Let’s talk somewhere else.”
“Okay.”
Although he didn’t know his purpose, he still wanted to know why he was looking for him.
The two came to the back mountain. Seeing no one around, Li Li finally spoke.
“I want to cooperate with you.”
“Hmm?”
“I know a place where Xuan Ling Grass grows;
You should know that Xuan Ling Grass can temper Tool Spirit, especially for Spirits of our quality, the effect is excellent.”
