"Teacher, I think it's time to acquire the third spirit ring. When will you be free?" Bai Zhou quickly changed the subject, knowing that Xian Liner could easily find out the truth about that matter with a little investigation.
"Hmm, you just advanced yesterday. Do you need to stabilize your cultivation?" Xian Liner asked.
"No need. It's not too late to consolidate after advancing to Spirit Elder," Bai Zhou said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go now. We'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest," Xian Liner nodded directly upon hearing this.
"Ah? So fast? Teacher, don't you need to prepare?" Bai Zhou was a bit stunned. Could this be what it meant to be a Titled Douluo?
So decisive and swift.
"Your Teacher is a Titled Douluo. It only takes half an hour to travel back and forth to the Star Dou Great Forest. Finding a suitable Spirit Beast for you won't take more than an hour at most. We can even be back in time for lunch. What preparations are needed?"
Xian Liner puffed out her chest slightly. Finally, she had a chance to show off properly in front of her student.
After all, Bai Zhou had never asked her about spirit tools, while she had been shocked by Bai Zhou's talent countless times.
Not only in the cultivation of spirit tools, but also in the cultivation of Spirits, Bai Zhou had exceeded her expectations.
From beginning to end, she, as his Teacher, could only provide some resource-based help. This made Xian Liner feel a bit stifled, feeling as though her title of Titled Douluo didn't quite fit, as if she was somewhat useless.
But now, Bai Zhou needed to acquire his third spirit ring, and she could finally display her prowess and show off properly in front of her favorite Disciple!
...
...
In less than half an hour, Xian Liner had brought Bai Zhou to the Star Dou Great Forest.
The only thing that made Bai Zhou a bit regretful was that Xian Liner only held his hand the whole way, preventing Bai Zhou from enjoying Xian Liner's embrace...
"Ma Xiaotao is better..." Bai Zhou thought to himself.
"Oh right, I remember you have twin spirits, right? Which Spirit do you want to attach the spirit ring to this time?" Xian Liner suddenly remembered something and asked.
Generally speaking, when cultivating twin spirits, one should first add spirit rings to one Spirit, and then later, add spirit rings to the second Spirit. This way, under the effect of a strong Physique, the spirit ring lifespan of the second Spirit can reach a very high level.
But Bai Zhou's Spirits were a bit special. His Wishing Tree Spirit was also recorded; it had no combat power and no auxiliary effect to boost combat power. Aside from being able to attach spirit rings, it was similar to a Waste Spirit. Therefore, when all Teachers looked at Bai Zhou's information, they overlooked his Wishing Tree Spirit.
"No need to choose, I'll absorb two spirit rings directly," Bai Zhou said calmly.
If it were anyone else, it might be a difficult choice.
Because if they chose to attach spirit rings to the Wishing Tree first, they would be very weak in the early stages, and cultivation would be extremely difficult. After reaching Spirit Saint, adding seven or eight fifty-thousand to sixty-thousand-year spirit rings to the Blue Silver Emperor would allow them to soar.
If they chose the Blue Silver Emperor, although they would be strong in the early stages, the Blue Silver Emperor's potential would be fixed. Even if they later filled the Wishing Tree with 100,000-year spirit rings, it would at most increase spirit power storage, with no significant increase in combat power.
With Bai Zhou's current Physique and powerful mental force, absorbing twenty-thousand to thirty-thousand-year spirit rings was not difficult. With good luck, he could even absorb fifty-thousand to sixty-thousand-year ones, and his fourth spirit ring could be one hundred thousand years.
However, finding seventy-thousand to eighty-thousand-year Spirit Beasts suitable for Bai Zhou's Blue Silver Emperor was relatively difficult at this time, especially with the area of the Star Dou Great Forest having shrunk several times.
"That's right. With your Physique, absorbing eight or nine thousand year spirit rings for the third ring is no problem. It's a pity you are only a Spirit Grandmaster, and your mental force is not up to par, so you cannot absorb ten-thousand-year spirit rings," Xian Liner heard this and smiled wryly, feeling that her question was a bit foolish.
Bai Zhou's physical strength should be fine for absorbing ten-thousand-year spirit rings, but his mental force was not sufficient. Absorbing spirit rings over ten thousand years would result in a "mental shock." Only by reaching the Spirit Ancestor level could one's mental force withstand a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
"No, eight or nine thousand years is not enough. My third spirit ring must be at least thirty thousand years," Bai Zhou gently shook his head and explained, "Although my Wishing Tree is not very useful, it does have the effect of strengthening mental force. Coupled with my Physique, absorbing thirty-thousand to forty-thousand-year spirit rings is no problem."
Bai Zhou found it difficult to explain the cultivation method of "Wandering God Technique," so he could only use the Wishing Tree to gloss over it.
"What? Your Wishing Tree isn't supposed to have any auxiliary or combat abilities, so how can it have the effect of increasing mental force?"
Xian Liner was shocked again, but still worried, "Even if you can absorb ten-thousand-year spirit rings, you should start from ten thousand years. Thirty-thousand to forty-thousand-year spirit rings are difficult to absorb; only Spirit Emperor level mental force can do so without being affected. Even if your Wishing Tree can increase mental force, its effect shouldn't be this strong, right?"
As her student, she naturally had to be responsible for Bai Zhou. If Bai Zhou accidentally had an accident, it would be a loss for the entire Shrek, and she would also feel heartbroken.
"Don't worry, Teacher, I know what I'm doing," Bai Zhou smiled slightly, then released his mental force.
With his current mental force, he could slightly influence the outside World. With Xian Liner's ability, she should be able to feel it clearly.
"What! mental force externalization... How can your mental force be so powerful! Your Wishing Tree... What kind of Spirit is it exactly?" Feeling that faint touch, Xian Liner was dumbfounded again.
This level of mental force strength was something even ordinary Spirit Kings couldn't achieve, and Bai Zhou was just a quasi-Spirit Elder...
Could it be that this is the true ability of the "Wishing Tree"?
The Wishing Tree gave up combat and auxiliary abilities to focus on increasing mental force. If so, it is possible to achieve this effect. If that's the case, then the Wishing Tree can barely be considered a super Spirit!
Of course, the Wishing Tree alone would be useless.
But if it's twin spirits with the Wishing Tree, then the auxiliary ability of the Wishing Tree is simply Heaven-Defying!
"Teacher, just trust me~"
"Let's go acquire the third spirit ring for the Wishing Tree first. The Wishing Tree has no Spirit Ability and no attributes, so any Spirit Beast with a high lifespan will do, the attribute doesn't matter."
"After I advance to Spirit Elder, I'll give a spirit ring to my Blue Silver Emperor. The Blue Silver Emperor's third spirit ring is best if it's offensive..."
Bai Zhou said with a smile, having a certain planned route for the development of his Spirits.
As for the future combat route, it would still be primarily close combat, with Spirits as auxiliary.
No matter how powerful the Blue Silver Emperor is, it is ultimately a product of this World, with limited strength, and it relies on spirit ring lifespan, depending on external factors, and has obvious weaknesses.
Every Spirit is not perfect; they all have flaws. That's why Spirit Masters need to be classified and need to form teams, such as Agility Attack, Power Attack, Support, Food, Healing...
However, the Cultivation Techniques and martial arts produced by the System strengthen the self, developing in all aspects, making one a complete six-sided warrior who can tank, deal damage, and has fierce endurance, purely a dimensionality reduction strike.
