Chapter 131: A Terrified Flender, Helpless Against Tang San
Chapter 131: A Terrified Flender, Helpless Against Tang San
[Little Witch]: Emerald Eight Spider Lances... That’s a nice name. A-Qing, take a picture quickly; it must look so cool!
Ning Rongrong had the least resistance to things that were both beautiful and powerful.
[Daddy Douluo]: I’ll show you later; it’s not appropriate right now.
[Little Witch]: By the way, has A-Qing obtained his fourth spirit ring yet?
Ning Rongrong, of course, knew that Lin Qingmo had already obtained his fourth spirit ring, and it was even a thirty-thousand-year one.
But she wanted to know what Lin Qingmo’s fourth spirit ring actually was and what his fourth Spirit Ability was.
She was simply too curious.
Zhu Zhuqing was equally curious.
[Daddy Douluo]: Yeah, I got it while I was at it. I was able to steadily absorb the thirty-thousand-year spirit ring this time thanks to my master coming to act as a Protector. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy.
He was truly grateful.
The situation seemed smooth at the time, but with Bibi Dong overseeing things, he felt truly confident.
Xiao Wu looked at the chat records, her eyes flickering.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: "A-Qing’s master..." Her expression darkened.
Everything that happened back then flashed before her eyes again, along with that feeling of helplessness while watching A-Qing being persecuted.
But... she couldn’t tell A-Qing.
On the other side, Liu Erlong’s curiosity was piqued again.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: A thirty-thousand-year spirit ring! A-Qing, tell us quickly, what Spirit Beast did you kill? It’s not another Immortal Herbspirit ring, is it?
Lin Qingmo smiled; he had been waiting for someone to ask.
[Daddy Douluo]: Unfortunately, it’s not an Immortal Herbspirit ring, but I personally think the quality of this spirit ring even exceeds an Immortal Herb’s.
[Big-Breasted Kitty]: Exceeds an Immortal Herb?
[Daddy Douluo]: That’s right. Its name is the Thunderous Hell Vine, a very rare plant-type Spirit Beast.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Thunderclap... what vine? I’ve never heard of it.
[Little Witch]: +1! The name is cool, but I haven’t heard of it. A-Qing, give us a science lesson!
Lin Qingmo organized his thoughts and began to describe it.
[Daddy Douluo]: It seems none of you have read Douluo 3.
Lin Qingmo wasn’t surprised by this.
If it weren’t for some coincidences, he wouldn’t have read Douluo 3 or Douluo 4 either.
To be honest, he himself couldn’t stand reading the Late Stage of douluo 2, especially with Tang San’s antics like the Valley of Love.
The members of the Chat Group had complained many times, and after learning that the protagonist of Douluo 3 was Tang San’s son, they all ran away quickly.
[Daddy Douluo]: Anyway, the Thunderous Hell Vine is a Spirit Beast that appears in Douluo 3, The Legend of the Dragon King.
[Daddy Douluo]: This thing’s cultivation method is practically self-torture. It grows by absorbing thunder and has to be struck by lightning every once in a while.
[Daddy Douluo]: But playing with lightning like this comes at a high price. Most Thunderous Hell Vines die from the heavenly thunder they attract before they can even grow up. It’s purely a gamble with their lives.
The group fell silent again, this time a silence filled with astonishment.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Damn, there’s such a weird Spirit Beast? Being struck by lightning every day, that’s too miserable. Living is just suffering.
Liu Erlong was straightforward.
Anyway, she didn’t think being struck by lightning every day was a good thing.
[Big-Breasted Kitty]: The World is vast, and there is no lack of wonders. To evolve through such extreme means, the chance of survival is slim, yet A-Qing encountered one that was tens of thousands of years old. It truly is a tenacious life.
Zhu Zhuqing sighed with emotion.
Even being struck by lightning every day, it actually managed to have ten thousand years of cultivation.
This Spirit Beast is definitely not simple.
[Bing Bing]: Humph.
The Ice Empress uttered a cold sound.
[Bing Bing]: For a Spirit Beast, facing a Heavenly Tribulation every hundred thousand years is already a life-and-death struggle. This Spirit Beast actually has to undergo thunder Body Tempering year-round. To live to ten thousand years, its willpower can be considered tenacious.
Her tone was still arrogant, but it rarely carried a hint of subtle recognition for a "peer."
[Snow Empress]: The power of thunder is violent and unpredictable. Using it to temper oneself involves pain far exceeding ordinary cultivation. Reaching thirty thousand years is indeed not easy.
The Snow Empress’s evaluation was exceptionally objective and carried significant weight.
[Little Witch]: "It’s so unbelievable! Both unlucky and tenacious, it sounds so legendary!"
Ning Rongrong’s young heart had the least resistance to such tragic yet powerful stories.
[Daddy Douluo]: "Isn’t it? I also got lucky. I happened to find it right after it failed to withstand the lightning, its aura withered, so I just picked up a bargain."
[Daddy Douluo]: Its spirit ring was unexpectedly compatible with my life attribute. After absorbing it, my spirit power directly soared by 5 levels, and I also gained the ability to control lightning.
He even sent a grinning emoji.
Lin Qingmo was enjoying the fun of chatting and interacting with Ning Rongrong and the others from a distance.
In reality, however, it was a different scene.
The carriage swayed, and the atmosphere inside was quiet.
Tang San sat in the corner of the carriage, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
He kept his mouth tightly shut, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Lin Qingmo’s smiling profile, with irrepressible gloom and jealousy deep in his eyes.
Dai Mubai was also preoccupied with heavy thoughts.
Most of the time, his gaze stayed on Zhu Zhuqing.
But almost all of her attention was on the scenery outside the window, or rather, on the Chat Group’s light screen that Dai Mubai couldn’t see.
Seeing that she wasn’t paying any attention to him at all, Dai Mubai felt a tightness in his chest.
The girl who once chased him all the way to Shrek, her eyes stubborn yet filled with disappointment, seemed to be drifting further and further away from him.
How could he win her back?
Power?
Status?
Or... something else?
For the first time, he felt somewhat lost and powerless... Before long.
The Shrek party returned to Shrek.
After Flender finished listening to Zhao Wuji’s report, the teacup in his hand dropped straight to the ground.
"You met the Titan Giant Ape?!"
His voice changed pitch, and his eyes behind his glasses widened.
Zhao Wuji nodded with a bitter smile.
He then recounted that thrilling encounter in its entirety.
Flender was terrified as he listened, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
That was the King of the Forest; those children were truly lucky to come back alive.
But the next piece of information made him frown.
"Oscar’s spirit ring absorption was interrupted, and he failed to absorb it, missing out on the best spirit ring? Old Zhao, what happened?"
Zhao Wuji sighed and described Tang San’s actions at the time in detail.
Flender’s face grew darker the more he listened.
Interrupting someone else’s spirit ring absorption was no small matter.
A Spirit Master’s cultivation depends on Opportunity; a single failure could mean missing the spirit ring most suitable for oneself.
Not to mention that Oscar had always worked hard, only to be hindered like this.
"Tang San also provoked the Dragon Lord and Snake Granny?"
Flender adjusted his glasses, feeling his temples throbbing.
How could this kid cause so much trouble?
The Dragon Lord and Snake Granny were notoriously difficult to deal with in the Spirit Master’s world. Offending them meant having to be extremely cautious when hunting for spirits in the Star Dou Great Forest in the future.
His impression of Tang San dropped significantly again.
Zhao Wuji asked Flender if he should make Tang San give Oscar an explanation.
After some deep thought, Flender sighed deeply. "Old Zhao, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do about this. Behind Tang San..."
"Damn it!"
Zhao Wuji was also in a fit of impotent rage.
But there was nothing he could do; after all, Tang San’s father was Tang Hao.
"Give Little Ao more care as compensation in the future. That’s the only thing we can do."
Zhao Wuji nodded and continued his report.
However, the next words almost made Flender jump out of his chair.
"What did you say? Lin Qingmo’s fourth spirit ring is a thirty-thousand-year one?!"
Zhao Wuji nodded vigorously, his face still showing a sense of wonder.
"Forget about you; when I saw that black ten-thousand-year spirit ring, I was stunned myself. That kid Qingmo is truly an out-and-out monster."
Flender was stunned for several seconds, then suddenly burst into loud laughter.
Good boy!
Absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for the fourth ring—there’s no record of this in the entire history of Spirit Masters.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his impression of Lin Qingmo couldn’t be better.
This is a true Genius, a true monster, a Prodigy!!!"
