Hearing Serpent Granny agree, Meng Yiran also forgot to stop him out of shyness. Oscar didn't hesitate, taking out his dagger and stabbing the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent to death.
Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the Spirit Ring.
This time, Serpent Granny wasn't in a hurry to leave. She wanted to see what Oscar's Spirit was like. The most direct way to observe the strength of a person's Spirit was to see what kind of Spirit Ability it could produce. If it was a useless Spirit Ability, then it would be completely worthless.
The Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent's attack power wasn't strong, so the absorption of this Spirit Ring went exceptionally smoothly. In less than an hour, Oscar had completed the absorption.
And his Spirit Ability, like in the original story, was the Flying Mushroom Sausage, which allowed the consumer to fly at the speed of a Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent for one minute.
Serpent Granny was both surprised and delighted. The strategic significance of this Spirit Ability was simply too great. If used on the battlefield, it could have a huge effect, whether it was for a surprise attack or a retreat.
Even for ordinary Team Battle Soul Masters, suddenly giving the entire team the ability to fly could have miraculous effects on various tactical deployments.
This child was truly a food-type genius, one in a hundred years. She had to pull him over to assist her Yiran.
Because Tang San didn't intervene, this Soul Beast wasn't snatched, but rather Serpent Granny took a liking to Oscar and voluntarily gave it up. Therefore, there was no animosity between the two parties this time.
Meng Yiran also admitted that Oscar's support ability would be of great help to her future battles and cultivation. In addition, with Oscar's incredibly handsome face, she was indeed a little tempted.
The saying that the Douluo Continent doesn't care about looks is only half true. This is naturally the case for women with ordinary talents, but Meng Yiran is a young lady with a good appearance, talent, and family background.
Girls like her naturally have higher demands. In the original story, Tang San's appearance was ordinary before the Blue Silver Emperor awakened, so he needed to show enough strength before he could attract her. But Oscar's face could completely skip this step.
"Alright, young man, congratulations on getting such a good Spirit Ring. I still need to take Yiran to find other Soul Beasts, so I'll leave first. Afterwards, I'll find an opportunity to discuss your matter with my old man at your Shrek Academy. Farewell."
Serpent Granny bid farewell to everyone and left with her granddaughter.
"Senior, please take care." Oscar was extremely grateful to Serpent Granny for being willing to give up the Spirit Ring, and he voluntarily escorted them for a distance before returning.
With Oscar's Spirit Ring problem solved, they still needed to find suitable ones for Ning Rongrong and Tang San.
There was actually no need to worry about these two, because Tianlin had already arranged everything. They hadn't walked for long before they encountered a dying Heavenly Spirit Tiger, with a cultivation of around 1,600 years.
The Heavenly Spirit Tiger is a very special kind of tiger-type Soul Beast. It doesn't have the strong offensive and defensive capabilities of regular tiger-type Soul Beasts, but its characteristic is that its Soul Power is very abundant, far exceeding other Soul Beasts of the same cultivation.
Therefore, after hunting it, Ning Rongrong was very likely to obtain a skill that amplified Soul Power, which was exactly what she wanted.
Zhao Wuji couldn't help but sigh. Ning Rongrong was truly the darling of the heavens. Her luck was too good. She could encounter a Soul Beast with just the right cultivation and attributes while walking, and it was even in a dying state. It was simply a Spirit Ring delivered to her door.
This was of course not luck, but rather Tianlin had asked Yin Yang to catch it in advance. In fact, Tang San's was also prepared, but it was very ordinary, and it couldn't be taken out now. Otherwise, they would have to leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately. Tianlin had another plan that needed to be completed here.
At this time, it was late, so everyone camped directly at the place where Ning Rongrong was absorbing the Spirit Ring and rested. Tianlin sat beside Rongrong, protecting her every step of the way.
The others either meditated or rested, only Zhao Wuji was on night watch. This night passed quite peacefully.
That's right, the plot here has changed. The forest king, Titan Giant Ape, did not appear. It was still obediently staying at the Lake of Life.
This was all because of the Aura Concealing Pill that Tianlin gave to Xiao Wu. Her aura was completely concealed, so how could the Titan Giant Ape sense Xiao Wu and leave the Lake of Life for no reason?
Ning Rongrong's Spirit Ring was absorbed after more than an hour, and she obtained the Third Spirit Ability of amplifying Soul Power. Tianlin felt sorry for her for consuming a lot of mental energy, so he didn't let her continue to meditate tonight. After holding her in his arms and coaxing her to sleep, he quietly waited for Yin Yang's news.
Time gradually entered the second half of the night, and the night watch changed to Dai Mubai. Suddenly, a voice transmission entered Tianlin's ears, "Xiao Tian, Meng Yiran has begun to absorb the Spirit Ring of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, come quickly."
Tianlin opened his eyes, revealing a smile. The process was exactly the same as he had imagined.
Without the appearance of the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San would not desperately chase after Xiao Wu after she was captured and end up in the depths of the forest, then encounter the Man-Faced Demon Spider being chased by Dragon Duke, and then kill it to steal Meng Yiran's Spirit Ring.
A mere thousand-year Soul Beast, being chased by a Soul Douluo, had no chance of escaping at all. Death was only a matter of time. Without Tang San's interference, this Soul Beast would be hers.
Tianlin glanced pitifully at Tang San, who was meditating, and thought to himself, "Sorry, Tang San, your Eight Spider Lances are gone."
Having read the original work, he naturally knew the importance of the Eight Spider Lances to Tang San. This External Spirit Bone not only greatly increased Tang San's attributes in all aspects, but also allowed Tang San to adapt to various terrains in battle, possessing powerful attack power and terrifying poison.
Most importantly, the Eight Spider Lances were also the medium connecting Tang San's other Spirit Bones, allowing the Spirit Bone armor, which could only be produced by the same Soul Beast, to be realized on Tang San, greatly increasing his strength, and later growing into a divine artifact.
Since such a strong External Spirit Bone does not belong to Tianlin, it is better not to let it appear.
Tianlin gently placed Ning Rongrong down and whispered, "Rest well, Rongrong, Brother Sword will be back soon."
After speaking, Tianlin walked out of the tent, his figure flashed, and he disappeared in place with Instant Movement. With Dai Mubai's strength, he couldn't detect Tianlin's departure at all.
Tianlin quickly found Yin Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Grandpa Eagle, please take me to Dragon Duke Snake Granny."
"Okay, I need to speed up, I'm afraid that little girl won't last too long." Yin Yang picked up Tianlin, exerted the speed of an agility-attack type Titled Douluo, and turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing quickly in one direction.
In the forest, Dragon Duke Snake Granny were already so anxious that they were about to jump up and down. They had finally captured this Man-Faced Demon Spider, but who would have thought that it would actually be a Soul Beast with more than two thousand years of cultivation.
Meng Yiran was just a very ordinary girl, who had not undergone Immortal Herb body refinement, and could not withstand such an over-aged Spirit Ring at all. At this time, her expression was extremely hideous, and she was in great pain, obviously she was about to burst and die.
"Yiran, you must hold on, it's all Grandpa's fault for not discovering the true cultivation of this Man-Faced Demon Spider." Dragon Duke blamed himself immensely. He, a dignified Soul Douluo, had not even distinguished the age of the Soul Beast, and now he had harmed his granddaughter.
In fact, he couldn't be completely blamed for this. Except for boring people like Grandmaster, who would remember the age of Soul Beasts to the single digits? They all only remember a rough range, and sometimes there is an error of about a hundred years, which is inevitable.
