Chapter 131: Corona Light and Lv53
Soon, Charizard carried the dying thirty thousand year Spirit Beast to Lin Mo's side.
The Sun Worm King's circular mouthparts opened and closed feebly, emitting a faint hiss. Its body lay limp on the ground, lacking even the strength to struggle.
Green light swirled around Charizard's raised right claw. It swung down, and Dragon Claw descended without mercy.
Puchi.
The Dragon Claw easily sank into the Sun Worm King's skull. Its body convulsed violently, then went completely rigid. Its three pairs of small golden eyes quickly lost their luster.
A jet-black ten thousand year spirit ring slowly condensed from the Sun Worm King's corpse, hovering above it.
Qian Renxue hovered more than ten meters away, the white wings behind her gently flapping to maintain her position.
Her gaze swept back and forth between the person and the two beasts before finally settling on Lin Mo.
"Your Martial Soul, the skills it used just now when defeating this Sun Worm King, seemed to be far more than four."
Speaking to this point, Qian Renxue paused, her gaze fixed directly on Lin Mo.
"Could you enlighten me?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo showed no surprise on his face.
"Sister Xue, you observe very carefully."
"Most of what Charizard used just now were not Spirit Abilities granted by spirit rings, but self-created Spirit Skills it comprehended on its own."
"Self-created Spirit Skills?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Exactly." Lin Mo nodded. "My Martial Soul, Charizard, takes the form of an External Beast Martial Soul, which makes me fundamentally different from ordinary Spirit Masters."
"It can exist independently. It can move, think, and even cultivate on its own, and it has excellent talent in the fire attribute."
"Because of this, based on the flames it has mastered, it has comprehended many self-created Spirit Skills that are no less practical than spirit ring abilities."
The exhilarating battle just now had left Charizard in high spirits, so it did not mind demonstrating its abilities to Qian Renxue.
With a poof, a fist-sized crimson flame ignited out of thin air.
This was Ember.
The next moment, Charizard opened its mouth and spat out a rotating crimson stream of fire. The stream rapidly spiraled and expanded, forming a rolling Fire Spin in the blink of an eye.
This was Fire Spin.
Finally, Charizard's chest rose, and searing white light gathered in its throat once more. A pillar of white fire erupted forth with a roar.
This was Flamethrower.
Three skills, three completely different ways of using fire, all completed in just a few breaths.
Qian Renxue watched quietly, and the shock in her brilliant golden eyes was impossible to hide.
She had indeed seen descriptions of Lin Mo's Martial Soul mastering various self-created Spirit Skills in the intelligence reports submitted to "Xue Qinghe" by Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
But written records were completely different from witnessing it with her own eyes.
The curves of her palace gown rose and fell slightly due to her intense excitement.
Taking a deep breath, Qian Renxue quickly suppressed the waves in her heart. Her gaze became calm again as she looked at Lin Mo.
"I understand. In that case, hurry and absorb this spirit ring."
"Although this place cannot be considered the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, the commotion from the battle just now was not small. It may attract the covetous eyes of other Spirit Masters or Spirit Beasts."
"Since I said I would yield it to you, I will see it through to the end and act as your protector here."
Speaking to this point, her gaze landed once again on the jet-black ten thousand year spirit ring at Charizard's feet, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
If it were anyone else attempting to absorb a thirty thousand year spirit ring as their fifth spirit ring, she would certainly scoff, thinking they were overestimating themselves and purely courting death.
But Lin Mo and Charizard had already absorbed a ten thousand year spirit ring as their fourth spirit ring, which had already shattered conventional understanding.
Or rather, Lin Mo's cultivation as a twelve-year-old Spirit King had already completely crushed her past definition of a genius and reshaped her understanding.
Compared with this shocking cultivation speed, a ten thousand year fourth spirit ring no longer seemed as important.
Hearing this, Lin Mo no longer hesitated. He nodded slightly to Qian Renxue.
"In that case, I will trouble Sister Xue."
He said nothing more and directly sat cross-legged on the spot, quickly adjusting his state.
Charizard followed suit, sitting down right beside him.
Immediately after, Charizard opened its mouth and inhaled sharply, swallowing the spirit ring into its belly.
For Lin Mo and Charizard, the pressure of absorbing this thirty thousand year spirit ring was not even as great as when they absorbed their first ten thousand year spirit ring.
Over the past half year, under the effects of the Narcissus Jade Bone and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, his physical fitness had improved even further.
Not only that, his second Martial Soul, the Body Martial Soul, had also newly awakened parts of his bones and meridians, which greatly improved his body's tolerance compared to before.
Before long, the spiritual shock caused by the remnant will within the Sun Worm King's spirit ring was completely crushed and dispersed, unable to pose any threat to Lin Mo and Charizard.
The subsequent spirit ring absorption process only required time. There was no longer any real danger.
Qian Renxue hovered in the air, her golden eyes watching the situation below without blinking.
This was a bit too easy.
The corners of Qian Renxue's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
That was a thirty thousand year spirit ring!
The vast majority of Spirit Masters would only dare attempt this age limit when advancing to Spirit Saint and obtaining their seventh spirit ring.
But what about Lin Mo?
His fifth spirit ring was at the thirty thousand year level, yet he absorbed it without any obstruction, not even showing an obvious expression of pain.
However, what stirred even greater ripples in her heart was the trust Lin Mo was showing her at this moment.
This almost frank trust made Qian Renxue feel slightly touched somewhere deep in her heart, aside from surprise.
Was it because her initiative to yield the Spirit Beast had won his favor?
Or was this youth naturally pure in heart nature, unwilling to speculate about others with malice?
Qian Renxue had no way of knowing, but she truly kept this trust in her heart.
Her white wings gently spread, and a gentle, sacred aura quietly spread from her as the center, softly enveloping the area where she and Lin Mo were located.
It dispelled the lingering fire elements in the air, as well as the bloodiness brought by the Spirit Beast's death, creating a peaceful and serene little environment.
Time passed quietly.
An hour later.
Lin Mo's tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly exhaled a long breath.
Immediately after, he opened his eyes. A flash of fire seemed to vanish within his pitch-black pupils before they quickly returned to their usual depth.
Charizard, beside him, also opened its dragon eyes at the same time. It stood up with a low roar, and at its feet, the newly obtained fifth spirit ring circled around Charizard along with the other four spirit rings.
Lin Mo did not get up immediately. He concentrated and looked at Charizard.
A clear panel appeared in his vision, and he quickly saw the two pieces of data he cared about most.
[Spirit Power Rank: Lv53]
[Fifth Spirit Ring: Corona Light]
His spirit power rank had jumped from the Rank 50 Bottleneck to Rank 53.
Although Lin Mo felt a bit surprised by this, he also felt that it was within reason.
After all, he had been stuck at the Rank 50 Bottleneck for some time, and the residual medicinal power of those two Immortal Herbs had only been completely refined after his cultivation broke through Rank 50.
This three-rank increase in spirit power was not entirely provided by the spirit ring. Rather, it was the result of the interaction between the residual medicinal power and the spirit ring.
