"When it comes to hunting spirit beasts, have you thought about what kind of spirit beast you want to hunt for your third spirit ring?"

Xiao Wu became curious and gestured with two fingers, "The first spirit ability is Endless Life, which can absorb the power of the earth and restore the status of yourself and your teammates in all aspects. The second spirit ability is the positive and negative buff, which can strengthen yourself and your teammates in all aspects, and can also weaken the enemy in all aspects."

"These two spirit abilities are very heaven-defying. Although they both have their own shortcomings: they can't leave the ground and are easily blown away by the wind, but compared to the effects of these two spirit abilities, these two shortcomings are not worth mentioning. There are very few spirit masters who can fly."

"Could it be that your third spirit ring is to have a flying-type spirit ability?"

Flying?

The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone of a hundred thousand years has this ability, so why bother finding another spirit ability to have the ability to fly?

Tang San shook his head, denying Xiao Wu's guess, and said, "Have you forgotten what I told you about spirit ring fusion before? I hope that my spirit abilities can be matched together, and the repetition rate of the spirit power flow path within each spirit ring can't be too high."

"Just like the spirit abilities I chose for you, Wind Listening and the True Spirit Bone that you will choose when you reach level thirty, their attributes will not conflict with each other. The directions of the spirit abilities are different, and they can be matched relatively perfectly."

"In the future, when you cultivate spirit ring fusion, it will be of great help."

In Tang San's opinion, the ability of spirit ring fusion was much more powerful than the Haotian School's spirit ring explosion.

Spirit ring explosion was to blow up the spirit ring and burst out the power of that instant. Although it was brilliant, it was short-lived and could not last long.

What about spirit ring fusion?

In Tang San's mind, the technicality was much higher than spirit ring explosion. If it could be perfectly displayed, it would definitely allow the spirit master to burst out a more powerful and stable force.

If spirit ring explosion was compared to nuclear fission, then spirit ring fusion was nuclear fusion, and it was also controllable nuclear fusion.

"How exactly do you cultivate spirit ring fusion?" Xiao Wu asked.

"I don't know."

Tang San shook his head, "The book doesn't introduce how to make the spirit rings compatible, but it's definitely not just about controlling the two spirit rings to get close to each other. It may involve the flow of spirit power. I need to try it slowly... Don't mess around yourself. If it explodes, I can't resurrect you now. I can only lick the bag with tears."

"Don't look down on me." Xiao Wu was a little unhappy. She didn't care what "licking the bag with tears" meant, and then asked, "By the way, you haven't said what kind of spirit beast you want to choose for your third spirit ring."

"I'll still follow the life route. This won't change."

Tang San said, "The first spirit ring allows Blue Silver Grass to absorb the power of the earth. The second spirit ring allows Blue Silver Grass to produce seeds. Then, for the third spirit ring, I hope to allow my Blue Silver Grass to have the ability to absorb the power of the sun."

"Or to put it more essentially, the ability to grow by absorbing light."

"After all, plants themselves have the characteristic of absorbing light to grow. Adding it to my Blue Silver Grass martial soul is not impossible, and it can also increase the heat resistance of my Blue Silver Grass."

"With such requirements, it is relatively difficult to find a plant spirit beast suitable for my third spirit ring, but there are some animal spirit beasts that are more suitable."

"For example: the Sun Lion. This kind of spirit beast has an organ on its forehead that is similar to a ruby. It can absorb the light of the sun and convert it into majestic vitality. It can also emit red rays with extremely strong penetrating power. A thousand-year-level Sun Lion can use this ray to penetrate the defense of a Soul Saint."

"However, if I obtain this kind of spirit ring, in addition to allowing my Blue Silver Grass to gain the ability to absorb sunlight, the spirit ability is likely to be an attack type."

"I already have enough means, so there's no need to add an attack means."

"Moreover, this kind of spirit beast, the Sun Lion, exists in the Evergreen Prairie, which is located in the inland of the Star Luo Empire and close to the sea. Although Nouding City is not far from the Star Luo Empire, it is very far from the Evergreen Prairie. According to our current speed, even if we don't eat, drink, or rest along the way, it will take us more than half a year to get there."

Xiao Wu was shocked: "So far?"

"Of course, do you think the Douluo Continent is small?"

Tang San asked back, and then changed the subject, "However, the areas that have not been explored by humans are indeed much wider than the parts that have been discovered by humans and built into cities and villages."

"And the spirit beast suitable for me is in a desert near the edge of the Sunset Forest. There is a plant spirit beast called Sun and Moon Grass."

"Sun and Moon Grass?" Xiao Wu had never heard of it. She had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for many years and had never heard of this kind of plant spirit beast. Her face was full of doubt.

"This is a kind of plant spirit beast that only exists in desert oases. It absorbs sunlight during the day and moonlight at night, thus storing the foundation to enter ten thousand years."

Tang San slowly revealed the special features of the Sun and Moon Grass, "And this kind of spirit beast, the Sun and Moon Grass, has a skill called Energy Storage, which can store the absorbed energy in its body and form a Sun and Moon Pearl."

"The spirit ability I need is this Sun and Moon Pearl that can store energy. Otherwise, I would have to set up an endless grassland to absorb the power of the earth every time, which is too troublesome."

"When our spirit power is low, we can't see this, but after becoming a Soul Ancestor, this preparation time becomes apparent."

It could be said that Tang San's main purpose in choosing the Sun and Moon Grass was to obtain such an energy storage spirit ability.

According to the currently available information about spirit masters who have absorbed the spirit ring of the Sun and Moon Grass, those spirit masters named it differently according to the names of their respective martial souls, such as Lion Soul Storage, Lone Wolf Soul Storage, Green Vine Energy Storage, etc., but the core skill is only one, energy storage.

Tang San believed that after his Blue Silver Grass obtained the spirit ring of the Sun and Moon Grass, the obtained energy storage skill would definitely be better than the effects of other martial souls. After all, his Blue Silver Grass was only superficial, but its essence was the Blue Silver Emperor, the king of plant spirit beasts.

"The Sun and Moon Grass's energy storage skill?"

Xiao Wu was thoughtful, "Indeed, in this way, your martial soul can not only absorb the power of the earth, but also the light of the sun and the moon, and store all the energy, which is convenient for future use... Speaking of which, do I need an energy storage skill?"

"You? No need." Tang San shook his head, "Haven't you noticed that the spirit abilities I provided you are all related to your body? Your speed will still increase automatically with the improvement of your spirit power. What you need is not an energy storage spirit ability, but a skill that can enhance your physical strength. As for the spirit ring to strengthen your martial soul and body, for the time being, it is better to accept it passively. As long as it matches your martial soul, you can achieve the greatest degree of strengthening."

For Xiao Wu, Tang San hoped to cultivate her into a melee master with extremely fast speed. After all, with those two long legs, that scorpion tail whip, and that soft waist, it would be a pity not to play martial arts with the talent of this Soft Boned Rabbit.

As for the other talents of the Soft Boned Rabbit—the abilities of teleportation and invincible golden body shown in the original book—it was estimated that there was a little spatial talent.

But there was no need to occupy one or two spirit ability positions because of this little bit of spatial talent... As Tang San had said to Xiao Wu before, abilities such as teleportation and an invincible golden body could only be used to escape, or to cut grass. When she encountered someone stronger than her, Xiao Wu couldn't beat them at all.

In the original book, Xiao Wu had three ten-thousand-year spirit rings at the end, but she struggled to deal with a Titled Douluo of the same realm. She couldn't crush her, and she still had to rely on the Peacock Plume to severely injure her enemy. Her own spirit abilities were only a Soft Boned Lock and (Burst Kill) Eight-Stage Fall.

Therefore, it was better to abandon that meager spatial talent and specialize in speed and martial arts.

When she becomes a Titled Douluo in the future, her speed will definitely be as fast as the wind and as swift as lightning. With a powerful physique, exquisite swordsmanship, and precise control of spirit power, she might even be able to cut through space.

Furthermore, if Xiao Wu really had a spatial talent, then when her spirit power increases, wouldn't it be fragrant to condense this talent into a talent skill like a domain?

Why bother placing it on the spirit ability of the spirit ring?

That would be a waste.

Tang San believed that with the cultivation source of a hundred thousand-year spirit beast, Xiao Wu would most likely be able to awaken a certain domain at the Soul Saint stage. When the time comes, he would mention it a little, and he would definitely be able to let her move towards the direction of condensing the spatial domain...
