Sai Joshi said with had no hesitation at all as he answered, "I'll definitely help you get revenge after I grow up." This relationship between man and beast had rapidly deepened due to this slightly odd yet miraculous story.
In reality, although the Stardream Iceworm had lived for a million years, it had only met with a few spirit beasts after all. Even though its intelligence wasn't inferior to that of a human's, how could it know that humans had sinister hearts? If a human had encountered fortunate events like the Stardream Iceworm had, he would absolutely not reveal his story so easily. Choosing a boy like Sai Joshi, who was practically as white as a sheet of paper, was actually quite lucky for it.
"Brother Stardream, I still don't understand a few things. Since you're so strong, you had to seal your own power to become my spirit ring. Just what's the matter with this? Can you still bestow a spirit skill to me?" After losing his fear, an even greater sense of curiosity filled Sai Joshi's heart.
The Stardream Iceworm laughed cunningly as he said, "This Brother naturally has a way. Since I've been planning this for so long, I've already prepared the proper arrangements. After obtaining some experience from blowing those humans up, I realised that all of my help will have to focus on your safety. I already have no way of retreat now; if you die, I die too. My spiritforce was almost fully drained by those spirit beasts from the Spirit Hunting Forest. Otherwise, your body wouldn't have been able to withstand my power, even if I'd sealed it. When I merged with your body, most of the power that entered you was my power and my spirit power. Can you see those ten balls of light? They're the ten seals that I've set up. If you look at it from another angle, it can be said that I've already bestowed you the power of your first spirit ring. However, you're temporarily unable to use it."
"This also means that, although your first spirit ring is a million year soul ring, it currently doesn't have the might of a million year spirit ring. However, the power that I've sealed within your body will gradually disperse as your cultivation improves, which in turn will increase the might of your spirit ring. It might even increase the might of your future spirit rings. After all, the power that I've accumulated over a million years is simply too enormous for you."
Sai Joshi blinked his eyes and said, "I still don't fully understand what you're saying."
The Stardream Iceworm unhappily said, "Idiot. I'll repeat the simple points again. Your body, which has currently obtained its first spirit ring, can only withstand the spirit ring of a four hundred year old spirit beast at most. Thus, the realistic might of your first spirit ring is a four hundred year spirit ring. After you make a breakthrough you'll be able to withstand the might of a thousand year spirit ring, so your first spirit ring will become a thousand year spirit ring. Your first spirit ring will follow the amount of power that your body can withstand, and will increase accordingly. In other words, your first spirit ring can evolve at any time, and your future spirit rings will also have this benefit. Of course, this evolutionary power that I can bestow upon you is limited. The stronger the spirit ring you obtain in the future, the more power you save for me. Using the power that I sealed within your body, it can at most help increase ten of your spirit rings reach the hundred thousand year spirit ring rank."
"Ah? So many? We spirit masters can only possess nine soul rings at most, no?" Sai Joshi spoke with a startled tone.
The Skydream Iceworm snorted coldly and loftily said, "That's only true for ordinary people. You're already no longer an ordinary person—ever since This Brother merged with you. A single spirit can naturally only absorb only nine soul rings. However, you currently don't just have a single spirit. After killing a hundred thousand year spirit beast, you will both obtain a spirit bone and a hundred thousand year spirit ring that contains two spirit skills within it. You should know this."
Sai Joshi nodded his head.
The Stardream Iceworm said. "As a million year spirit ring, and an unprecedented intelligent spirit ring, I'm obviously stronger than them. Not only can my incarnation, which is your first spirit ring, undergo unlimited evolution according to the condition of your body, it can also bestow four spirit skills to you. However, I have no spirit bones that I can give to you—instead, I can give you another spirit."
Sai Joshi had already predicted that a million year spirit ring would benefit him greatly, but he'd never thought that it would be to this extent. A spirit ring that could undergo unlimited evolution had already caused him to be ineffably happy. Yet, the greater surprise was actually in its other benefits. Four spirit skills and an extra martial spirit, just what kind of concept was this?
Since the four spirit skills belonged to the first spirit ring, their might would inevitably evolve as his first spirit ring evolved. They were abilities that could be used forever! And, an extra martial spirit could simply be described as a miracle. It was equivalent to turning him, who had the Spirit Eyes, Double headed Fire-Ice Dragon martial spirits, into a genius who had three martial souls. Adding another martial spirit would mean that he would have at least nine additional spirit rings, which would give him nine more spirit skills. How could a hundred thousand year spirit ring even compare to the strength amplification of this million year spirit ring? Although his own strength was still good even after obtaining these amplifications, and required him to slowly increase it, this million year spirit ring undoubtedly opened a great door to the heavens for Sai Joshi, allowing him, who'd originally had mediocre talent, to have a future of unlimited possibilities.
