Chapter 12: The Color of the Spirit Ring Has Changed
After Yu Yuanzhen's immense spirit power surged into his body, Yu Tianlin immediately felt much better, and his convulsions stopped.
Yu Tianlin exhaled a puff of white breath and said, "Grandpa, I am fine, you can stop now."
Although the lightning bolt looked terrifying, for some reason it had not harmed Yu Tianlin at all. It had only paralyzed his entire body and caused intense twitching.
Seeing that Yu Tianlin was indeed unharmed, Yu Yuanzhen withdrew his spirit power, helped him up, and asked, "Tianlin, what happened just now?"
Yu Tianlin replied with a strange expression, "When I channeled my spirit power into the strand of hair on the top of my head, I suddenly felt it stand up, as if it was attracting something."
"In other words, that bolt of lightning just now was attracted by this strand of hair."
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen frowned. "Your ability is to attract lightning? Tianlin, try again and see if you can control the attracted lightning to attack others. Do not worry, if the lightning comes again, I will block it for you."
"Alright."
Yu Tianlin still felt it was impossible, but since his grandfather asked, he could only try again.
He sat cross-legged and channeled spirit power into the strand of hair.
The result was the same as before. Another bolt of lightning struck, tearing another hole in the council hall dome before hitting Yu Tianlin directly.
This time, Yu Yuanzhen was prepared and blocked the lightning.
Yu Yuanzhen frowned deeper. "Tianlin, you cannot control the lightning to attack others?"
"Uh, it seems so." As the lightning was blocked, Yu Tianlin opened his eyes, nodded awkwardly, and said, "After channeling spirit power into the strand of hair, I could feel an attraction to lightning. I tried to control it, but it had no effect at all. The lightning I attracted could only strike the hair standing up."
Yu Yuanzhen was puzzled, muttering, "What kind of strange ability only attracts lightning to hit yourself?"
Yu Tianlin was also speechless. He did not recall making any grand oaths in his past life, so why did he end up with such a troublesome ability after transmigrating?
At that moment, an aged voice came from outside. "Brother, what is going on in here?"
Yu Tianlin turned and saw Yu Luomian walking in.
Yu Luomian glanced at Yu Tianlin and then said, "Brother, why was the council hall struck by lightning twice? Has an enemy invaded?"
"Ahem, it is nothing," Yu Yuanzhen coughed lightly. "I had a sudden epiphany and used thunder power, accidentally triggering the lightning in the sky."
Since the strand of hair had been confirmed to be an external spirit bone, it was best not to let too many people know about it.
Yu Luomian did not press the issue and said to Yu Tianlin, "Tianlin, you can go back for now. I have something to discuss with your grandfather."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded, indicating Yu Tianlin could leave.
Yu Tianlin wanted to ask when his grandfather would give him the Dragon Origin Fruit, but since Yu Luomian was present, he held back, said nothing, and turned to leave the hall.
After leaving, Yu Tianlin had nowhere else to go, so he returned home.
His father Yu Mingfeng was still in seclusion, so only his mother Yu Rou was at home.
Seeing Yu Tianlin return, Yu Rou was surprised. "Xiao Lin, you are back so soon. How was your first spirit ring?"
Yu Tianlin gave a helpless smile and activated his spirit power. After the lightning-shaped mark appeared between his brows, a spirit ring slowly rose.
"This is my first spirit ring, from the Thunder Hell Prison Vine. Its age is ninety..."
As he was explaining, Yu Tianlin caught sight of his spirit ring. It was yellow. Although pale, it was undeniably a yellow, hundred-year spirit ring.
What is going on? How did my spirit ring become a hundred-year ring?
Yu Tianlin was confused but quickly recalled something.
In the original story, Tang San absorbed three Fifteen Ton Ant Emperor rings at ninety thousand years, yet they all mutated into one-hundred-thousand-year rings after absorption.
The Thunder Hell Prison Vine he killed was extremely close to one hundred years. Perhaps his spirit ring had mutated during absorption and reached the hundred-year level.
But something was off.
When he showed his spirit ring to Yu Yuanzhen in the council hall, it had clearly been at the ten-year level. Even if the white ring had a faint yellow glow, it was only close to one hundred years, not a true yellow ring like now.
Yu Tianlin could not figure it out.
Meanwhile, in the sect's main hall, Yu Luomian looked at Yu Yuanzhen and said, "Brother, were you planning to give Tianlin a Dragon Origin Fruit?"
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen's hands behind his back stiffened slightly, though his face remained calm. "What do you mean by that?"
Yu Luomian sneered. "Brother, stop pretending. Tianlin has innate full spirit power, so we have been watching closely. After Yu Jian brought him back, we questioned him. All of us elders know about Tianlin's spirit ring problem."
Since the elders already knew, Yu Yuanzhen no longer hid it. He was silent for a moment, then said, "Since you know the spirit ring has a problem, you should also know that the Dragon Origin Fruit is the only remedy, so I…"
"Brother," Yu Luomian interrupted, "we also feel bad for Tianlin, but you should know how important the Dragon Origin Fruit is."
"By sect rules, the sect leader receives half, and the elders receive the other half. In principle, you can use your share as you wish, but these are special times."
