The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, which looked like a small sapling, suddenly burst with a dense white light.
That touch of white rose from the very bottom, as if it were absorbing nutrients.
At the same time, within the Core Circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, the heaven and earth vitality began to surge violently.
A massive vortex of Yuan Qi appeared above the Core Circle, absorbing the heaven and earth vitality like a whale devouring water.
Countless amounts of heaven and earth vitality converged toward the Spirit in Song Zhe's right hand.
Like a Spring of Life nourishing plants, it poured into the roots of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
This caused its roots to be dyed with a layer of white light, which gradually spread upward until it reached the lowest sword leaf.
"My Lord, what is this?"
Di Tian was completely bewildered.
It's just absorbing the first spirit ring, is it really necessary to cause such a huge commotion?
Damn it, it's like facing a tribulation. With such a massive scene, it's likely that all the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts in the Core Circle have been alarmed.
"The second awakening of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. Go out and appease those Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts; I'll watch over things here."
Gu Yuena was also seeing the second awakening of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass for the first time.
It was said that every time the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass increased its spirit power by ten levels, it would undergo another awakening.
In other words, when Song Zhe cultivates to a Titled Douluo, he will have awakened nine times, with each time bringing immense benefits.
Just from this display, one could tell that this improvement was definitely not simple.
"On the entire Douluo Continent, I'm afraid only Lord Zhe Xian possesses such a Spirit."
Xiong Jun sighed from the bottom of his heart.
If he hadn't been beaten by Zhe Xian before, he wouldn't have said such things.
One must know that Xiong Jun is the King of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, and his strength is only slightly inferior to Di Tian's.
Looking across the entire Star Dou Great Forest, only Gu Yuena could suppress him.
He was particularly defiant toward Di Tian's orders.
"In a moment, you will accompany him to test its power."
Gu Yuena directly gave the order to Xiong Jun.
This guy was thick-skinned and sturdy, perfect for testing the power of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass's second awakening.
"My Lord, how about waiting for Di Tian to return and letting him test the move?"
Xiong Jun said timidly.
He had more than just an ordinary fear of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass; it was already on the verge of becoming a nightmare.
"He's only at level ten or so, what are you thinking!"
Gu Yuena gave him a sharp, annoyed look.
Was this still the warmongering Xiong Jun?
He didn't even dare to face a Spirit Master who was only ten or so years old, yet he spoke of the great cause of counterattacking the God Realm.
"Alright."
Xiong Jun felt particularly aggrieved.
Come to think of it, this guy has already been reborn through nirvana and has only just obtained his first spirit ring.
What was there to be afraid of? This guy isn't the Zhe Xian of old right now.
He should take this opportunity to show this guy that he, Xiong Jun, is no coward.
A long time later.
The vortex in the sky disappeared, and that touch of white light, having covered the lowest sword leaf from the roots of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, stopped growing.
In other words, when Song Zhe's Spirit awakens nine times, the white light will cover the entire Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
"Phew, finally level eleven."
Song Zhe slowly stood up, felt his level eleven spirit power, and smiled speechlessly.
Looking at Tang San and the others, who among them didn't see their spirit power soar by several levels after obtaining their first spirit ring?
The spirit rings those guys absorbed couldn't even compare to the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's.
Not only did Song Zhe absorb a better spirit ring, but he also swallowed a wave of heaven and earth vitality, yet he only reached level 11 spirit power. It was indeed quite pathetic.
"Little fellow, what is your first Spirit Ability?"
Gu Yuena asked curiously.
She actually didn't know much about Song Zhe's Spirit Abilities.
Back when he used the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, the spirit ring under his feet would just light up, and then he would directly use the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass to attack the enemy.
The Spirit Abilities he used seemed to be self-created.
"First spirit ring, Ultimate Amplification, increases attack power by 50%."
Song Zhe said with great satisfaction.
Fortunately, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's spirit ring didn't grant him an attack-type Spirit Ability.
On the contrary, this kind of pure amplification Spirit Ability was very useful for him.
If possible, he planned to follow the Extreme Path rather than the Balanced Path.
In other aspects, he could use cultivation techniques as substitutes, but this attack amplification was an indispensable part.
"Very good, try the effect on Xiong Jun."
Gu Yuena was very satisfied with the effect of Song Zhe's first spirit ring.
If nothing else, this Spirit Ability would still be very useful even after Song Zhe became powerful.
Unlike some attack-type spirit rings, which are rarely used after reaching Titled Douluo.
"Come on, hit old Xiong's chest."
Xiong Jun patted his chest with his sturdy palm.
Thinking that the current Zhe Xian was just a level ten or so rookie, he was exceptionally confident.
"Ultimate Amplification."
Without even a greeting, the spirit ring under Song Zhe's feet lit up, and he immediately swung the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in his hand straight at Xiong Jun's chest.
He wasn't worried at all about truly hurting this King of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
A white Sword Qi gushed out from the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
Almost in an instant, it struck Xiong Jun's chest.
And that white Sword Qi was like an egg slamming into a small mountain, shattering instantly.
"This strike could hurt a human Spirit Grandmaster."
Xiong Jun patted the dust off his chest.
After all, he was just a level ten or so Spirit Master; he wasn't worth mentioning at all.
Who was he?
He was the great King of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, an existence with unparalleled attack and defense.
"Take another move from me."
Song Zhe's eyes narrowed slightly.
His whole aura changed, as if he had transformed into a peerless sword that was being unsheathed bit by bit.
"Kill."
Following that, the lowest sword leaf of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in Song Zhe's right hand suddenly lit up.
As he swung his right hand, a white-gold Sword Qi about a zhang long swung out from the tip of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
At the moment the white-gold Sword Qi flew out, the lowest leaf of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass also dimmed.
"Boom~ Da-da-da"
The white-gold Sword Qi struck Xiong Jun's chest.
This time, however, the result was completely different.
Xiong Jun only felt a crack being torn open in his chest; his Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear defense was broken just like that.
He hurriedly retreated, then used his spirit power to wipe out that white-gold Sword Qi.
He had to retreat three steps before he could eliminate that tricky Sword Qi.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing the layer of skin on his chest broken, as if something had scratched out a bloodstain.
It was hard to imagine that he, the King of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, was actually injured by a one-ring Spirit Master.
Even though that person was the Zhe Xian who had beaten him before, he still couldn't accept this fact.
"As expected, your Nine-Leaf Sword Grass has terrifying defense-breaking capabilities. Little fellow, how often can you use this kind of attack that ignores defense?"
A strange light flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes.
A lowest-level Spirit Master could actually injure a Titled Douluo—if word got out, no one would believe it!
