Chapter 39 — Third spirit ring (3)

"I thought you were only going into a slumber for a while, but why did it took 2 years for you to wake up?" Yu Long questioned Luna with a dark face.

"W-well.. I thought my slumber was gonna end quickly, but the energy was not enough to complete my transformation. When Master got his third spirit ring, the missing energy was completed!" Luna said while slightly sweating.

"Oh, I see!" Yu Long nodded after knowing why Luna went into a slumber for two years.

He patted Luna head and quickly left his sea of consciousness. He wanted to quickly see his two new third spirit ring ability.

Yu Long opened his eyes and was quickly suprised to see a cute mini version of Luna flying infront of him. A small pair of fairy wing was flapping behind her.

Luna grinned happily seeing Yu Long suprised face.

"After I finished my transformation, I can now appear out of master mind and I can also easily control your three spirit rings! Now, praise me!" Luna explained smugly and then eagerly looked toward Yu Long for his praise.

"Oh! Our beautiful and cute Luna had gotten more awesome and stronger!" Yu Long said with a small smile seeing her eager look for praise.

"Hehe~!" Luna cheekily laughed aloud.

Yu Long summoned his and was quickly suprised seeing it's appearance slightly change. He then guessed it was somehow related to him or Luna transformation.

Yu Long then asked, "Luna, activate the third spirit ring of my !"

"Yes master!" Luna said loudly.

<3rd Spirit Ring: Idun's Garden>

A jet-black halo lit up behind Yu Long. His started to grew bigger than before and quickly took root behind him.

A bright crimson silver light emerged out from the ground many meters away from him and formed into a large dome.

Thick roots spread inside the dome, accompanied by black vines and black grass.

The inside of the dome can't be seen by the outsider.

Yu Long closed his eyes as he felt his sense merging within the plant-life inside the dome like a god.

<2nd spirit ring; Wood Control>

A dark-purple ring lit up next toward the black ring. Yu Long silently waved his right hand.

Boom!

The black vines gathered and formed into many long whips. The black roots grew out from the ground turning into many large arms that moved around under his control.

Tall wooden pillars also rose from the ground surrounding Yu Long.

Yu Long felt he was a god that controls over nature inside the dome or garden.

The ability made Yu Long sense to be shared with all the plant inside the garden and his affinity with nature higher than before. It also strengthened all his plant-based ability by 250% and his recovery speed by 100%.

The only problem with the ability itself was the huge energy consumption. Yu Long could only use it for 15 minutes while also using everything in his arsenal.

Yu Long then called his alongside his second spirit essence.

A black wooden spear emerged from the gigantic behind Yu Long.

The spear became more sharper with little scales covering the shaft.

<3rd Spirit Ring: Star Sovereign Armament>

A crimson silver lit up behind him and Yu Long skin gained a metallic crimson silver luster. The black wooden spear he was holding also gained a metallic crimson and silver color.

Yu Long felt his defense improving tremendously than before. The defense also affected his soul and weapons, but the effect on the weapon was slightly different. It also allowed him to deal some damaged to the spirit or soul.

He then concluded that his third spirit ring enhanced his body and soul defense. A soul attack and a boost in his mind recovery.

Yu Long recalled his two spirit essence, causing the garden and metallic light on his body to disappear.

"Are we going back? I want to see Xiao Yi and Fang Lin!" Luna said eagerly.

Yu Long looked toward the sky and saw it was already going dark. He nodded toward Luna and went back toward the Soutou City.

....

Inside a normal-looking restaurant, Lou Shi was looking around and then unexpectedly saw someone familliar.

Lou Shi silently approached her old acquaintance.

"Long time no see!" Lou Shi greeted happily toward a man.

The man had an average physique and a short black hair with a lazy half-closed eyes, drinking at the bar.

The man turned around as he heard someone hearing speaking to him. He felt the voice was familiar.

"Lou Shi!" The man was suprised to see who it was.

"Yo!" Lou Shi said with a small smile.

The man Infront of her was called Yu Xiaogang. A person with inferiority complex due to his tragic and pitiful past.

Lou Shi had met Yu Xiaogang years ago when she was still travelling around the empire. Yu Xiaogang had showed incredible wisdom and knowledge when it comes to theory about the spirit master subject.

Yu Xiaogang could have been a excellent spirit master, but unfortunately the spirit he awakened was a weak and failed variant of the Blue Lighting Tyrant Dragon Clan. He was also shunned by the others, making him have a low-self confidence.

Lou Shi had learned many unusual things after exchanging theory with Yu Xiaogang and he had also learned alot from her.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Xiaogang questioned with a puzzled look.

"I came here in this city to make my students join the spirit arena to gain some valuable experience," Lou Yue answered leisurely.

"You teach people now!?" Yu Xiaogang was bewildered hearing that.

He was sure the students that Lou Shi was currently teaching will not be ordinary.

"Of course! If I don't teach some spirit master, the vast theory and teaching method I had refined for years will be wasted," Lou Shi said while chuckling.

Yu Xiaogang nodded his head, "I also happened to teach some students that are monster in terms of talent!" He said while also trying to slightly show off.

Lou Shi frozed hearing what Yu Xiaogang had said.

"Ara, ara, ara, you said monster? I also happened to teach some students with an otherworldly talent," Lou Shi smiled deeply whole crossing her arms together.

The mood became tense.

"Then let's have our student to compete with each other to see which one is talented and have a better teaching method!" Yu Xiaogang said while looking calmly at Lou Shi.

He didn't say that words with arrogance nor in anger. He saw this situation as an opportunity for his students to battle with people with the same talent as them who also received a training by one of the most excellent spirit master trainer in the world.

"Fine! Bring it on!" Lou Shi intention was not the same as Yu Xiaogang.

She simply wanted to show him that her teaching method was greater!

The two of them planned that the battle was gonna be held tommorow at the great spirit arena.
