As the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, Tianlin absorbing a Spirit Ring of over 40,000 years was now far too easy. The soul shock of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast couldn't even stir up a ripple against his million-year mental skull and External Spirit Bone.
Because of this million-year skull, Tianlin's Flame Golden Eyes in the same area had also been enhanced. The quality of this External Spirit Bone should now be close to the hundred-thousand-year level.
In just over an hour, Tianlin easily stood up. He had not only absorbed the Spirit Ring and sorted out his Spirit Power, but he had also completely mastered the Spirit Ability.
"Xiao Tian, what exactly is the Fifth Spirit Ability you've been thinking about? Show it to your brother," the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked curiously.
"No need to show it. It's a support Spirit Ability, a Demon Sword skill formed by merging the lightning of the Fourth Spirit Ring and the water of the Fifth Spirit Ring, Illusory Water Shocking Thunder. The effect is a large-scale, all-around attribute boost for everyone, and the degree of the boost is up to me," Tianlin said.
"An all-around boost? That's a bit of a waste for you. Didn't you tell me you're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Aren't they all support-type Soul Masters?"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed a little disappointed. It thought Tianlin's highly anticipated Fifth Spirit Ability would be some amazing ultimate skill. Hearing its tone, Tianlin knew it had misunderstood.
"Brother Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Illusory Water Shocking Thunder isn't as simple as you think. This move doesn't enhance the attack and defense attributes of those being boosted like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Instead, it directly enhances their cultivation. For example, a level 31 Soul Master, I can instantly boost their cultivation to around level 37. When the level goes up, abilities like attack, defense, speed, and soul naturally go up as well. That's my all-around attribute boost," Tianlin explained.
"This move has two benefits. First, its method of enhancement is different from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so it can be stacked!"
Under normal circumstances, a Soul Master can only accept one type of enhancement of the same kind at a time. Otherwise, if all the enhancements from all the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could be placed on Chen Xin at once, they wouldn't be afraid of the Spirit Hall at all. Chen Xin's strength would skyrocket dozens of times, and even Qian Daoliu would be beaten to a pulp.
One of the greatest significance of Tianlin's move is that because the enhancement method is different, it can be stacked, allowing the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's combat power to be increased by more than double in one go when combined with Ning Fengzhi's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded. "Well, if you put it that way, then this move isn't meaningless. What's the second benefit?"
"The second benefit isn't that simple. I just gave the example of a level 31 Soul Master, but what if I'm enhancing someone who's level 39, breaking them through to level 40? What would a Soul Master who has reached a bottleneck do?" Tianlin asked the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm mysteriously.
"Break through to level 40? Then of course they'd go hunt Soul Beasts to advance... Wait, are you saying?" The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was shocked. If it was true, then the strategic significance of Tianlin's move was simply too great.
"That's right. My Spirit Ability is a genuine enhancement of cultivation. Soul Masters who are boosted by me to the point where they can advance can hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Spirit Rings like Soul Masters who have truly broken through. Even if I take back my enhancement at that time, most people will officially break through to level 40 because of the Spirit Power provided by the Spirit Ring."
"Even if some people can't break through because the Spirit Ring they hunted isn't strong enough and temporarily revert back to level 39, it doesn't matter. The obtained Fourth Spirit Ring is still there, it will just temporarily turn gray and can't be used. But their bottleneck has been broken, and all that's left is the accumulation of Spirit Power. Even a piece of trash can break through smoothly as long as they put in a little effort to cultivate!"
"In other words, from now on, anyone who is sheltered by me, including myself, will have no such thing as a bottleneck!" Tianlin said spiritedly.
"Brother is completely convinced today." The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and had truly never seen someone as abnormal as Tianlin. Not only was he strong himself, but wherever he was, he could even drive drastic changes in the entire force. It could be said that obtaining Tianlin made it difficult for the sect not to rise. "But Xiao Tian, with your current support abilities, you're even more like a tool than the strongest support Soul Master, because many of your abilities are to help others become stronger."
Tianlin smiled slightly upon hearing this. "A tool is a tool, I guess. After all, I'm never alone. I have brothers, I have family, I have a lover, I have a sect. As long as it's for the important people, I'm willing to be this tool!"
"Alright, Brother Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back and take a look. Maybe Tian Heng and the others are about to return from Soto City. Speaking of which, I left the team without permission, so I have to apologize to them." After saying that, Tianlin rode his sword and flew towards the direction of Heaven Dou City.
However, he didn't return to the Academy immediately, but decided to return to the sect first.
But to his surprise, when he returned to the sect, the disciples were immediately extremely excited. "That's great, Young Master Tianlin, you're finally back. We've been looking for you like crazy during this time."
"Looking for me?" Tianlin was a little puzzled. He remembered that he had reported his departure to Ning Fengzhi, it wasn't like he had disappeared, so why were they so worried? He didn't know that a few days ago, when he was absorbing the million-year Spirit Ring and was on the verge of death, his parents and teacher had a feeling.
Jun Tianhai and Mo Lan were really worried, so they came to the sect to ask about Tianlin. They learned from Chen Xin that Chen Xin actually had the same premonition, so everyone had been very worried during this time. The hearts of a mother and son are connected, and sometimes this sentence is not just talk. Chen Xin had even tried several times to directly use the Star Shift Talisman to find Tianlin, but had always failed.
Only then did Tianlin notice that the coordinates on his Soul Tool had disappeared. Who erased them? "Xiao Tian, it was me. Just when you were absorbing the Spirit Ring, I noticed someone trying to come through the coordinates. Afraid of being disturbed, I erased your coordinates. Sorry Xiao Tian, I didn't know it was your Master who was coming." At this time, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm jumped out to admit it.
"It's okay, Brother Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, you're very thoughtful, I won't blame you." Tianlin nodded, the coordinates could be reset later, it was just a small matter.
However, after learning the details, Tianlin hurriedly rushed into the sect. His parents had been staying here for the past few days, because they were worried, they couldn't leave in peace without getting Tianlin's definite news.
Tianlin found his parents and immediately knelt down. "Father, Mother, it is my unfilial conduct that has made you worry."
"It's good that you're alright. I've been very uneasy for the past few days, but now that I see you're fine, I'm relieved!" Mo Lan hugged Tianlin tightly.
She didn't know that Tianlin had really walked through the gates of hell a few days ago. She thought the previous feeling was just an illusion. Tianlin couldn't tell her the truth, lest she worry.
However, Chen Xin, who was beside him, was different. At level ninety-eight, he could see Tianlin's extraordinary state at a glance. This disciple of his had somehow become a Soul King after going out for a trip. Moreover, judging from his Spirit Power level, it wasn't just at level fifty-one, but more like level fifty-five or fifty-six. Furthermore, his Spirit Power was incredibly condensed, not forcibly raised through some crooked means.
Tianlin would never collude with evil Soul Masters. Chen Xin had this much confidence in his disciple's character.
Since Mo Lan and the others were still around, it wasn't convenient for him to ask too much. It wasn't until night, after Tianlin had settled his parents and stayed with them until they fell asleep, that he returned to the Seven Treasure Great Hall.
Apart from Yin Yang, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's other three Titled Douluo and Sect Master Ning Fengzhi were already waiting for him there.
"Uncle Ning, Grandpa Bone, Master, Old Freak!" Tianlin stepped forward to greet them one by one.
Chen Xin asked calmly, "Xiao Tian, don't you have anything to explain to your master?"
