1st Spirit Ring (Part 1)

Siisi, siisi, as if infuriated by the flare, the snake head slowly rose, issuing siisi sounds towards Luo San Pao. But the realgar powder deterrent still existed, and it still did not advance.

Grandmaster said in a low voice:

"Datura Snake's venom is extremely potent, it has not only a paralysing effect, but also causes powerful damage to the body's nerves. It's one of the most terrible among poison attribute spirit beasts. Its body is extremely tough, difficult to hurt with common sabres, its mouth and eyes are the only weak points. But datura snakes are very good at consistently protecting these two places, its speed is also incomparably fast. Most frightening is its aggressive character. Encountering humans it will practically always launch an attack. Realgar powder may not be able to restrain it for long, it's waiting for an opportunity."

Tang San did not feel any fear because of Grandmaster's introduction, in his former life at Ba-Shu Tang sect, Ba-Shu had a large variety of snakes, of course without this type of Datura snake, but Tang San a was not short of experience with coming into contact with snakes.

Grandmaster pulled Tang Feng behind him,

"Break wind like striking thunder, rumble the heavens and split the earth Luo San Pao!"

Grandmaster immediately gave orders to Luo San Pao, launching the attack.

Yellow rings of light again glittered, Luo San Pao's body shot upwards in its insane inhalation, although he ate the white radishes, since that one attack on the hell wolves the body still had not recovered what was depleted, so right now there was still only strength for two attacks.

During the thunderclap-like roar, Luo San Pao's super thunder shock wave surged out. Even though the datura snake's speed was very fast, Luo San Pao's attack was ranged, if it wanted to escape it was unable to.

Only seeing an immense snake body fly off from the ground, flung far into the distance.

Tang Feng took this opportunity to summon his azure bow and shot at the datura snake injuring it's body. Guagua, mournful sounds were heard. Tang San turned his head to one side to look.

Tang San's both eyes by then had become completely purple, relying on Purple Demon Eye's effect, he was able to clearly see the datura snake's every motion.

The datura snake was thoroughly enraged, and the scales on its body began to shine, the deep green scales were covered in a layer of faint yellow light, its speed suddenly increasing, in practically only a split second it had already pounced in front of Tang San.

In the crucial moment, Tang San's heart instead became extremely calm. Mysterious Heaven skill working in his whole body, this kind of genuine Daoist internal skill right now caused him to enter a state where his heart was like still water. Watching the datura snake's widely stretched open snake mouth, without being the slightest amount flustered. His right hand turning over, the short sword Grandmaster gave him already turning in the palm of his hand.

Watching the snake head rushing up, Tang San used Ghost Perplexing Shadow Track, and his body in a flash already moved sideways three chi away. Right now, because of pouncing at Tang San, the snake mouth was stretched wide, just about to close.

A vast blue radiance seemingly appeared as if out of nowhere, quietly waiting there, in the split second as the datura snake's head turned over, in the instant before its mouth closed, puu——

The nearly four meter long snake body stiffened in practically a split second, that one chi two cun sword, was already completely driven into the snake's mouth. After a moment, the datura snake's body violently stirred, and at once on the ground sand flew about and stones hurtled through the air, where its hard body swept across, regardless of shrubs or small trees, all were tested as if enduring a tornado, branches and leaves broken.

Stabbing with full strength behind that sword, Tang San using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track had already retreated at full speed, just far enough to avoid the datura snake's lashing tail.

"Big Brother!"

Tang Feng in a haste calling out suddenly roused Tang San. He knew, all he just did, he already could not avoid appearing before Grandmaster. His soul was not part of this world, and all this, clearly could not be known by any person. What's to be done?

Kill Grandmaster to silence him? Tang San believed that relying on the attack power and specific characteristics of the sleeve dart, his chance of success was at least seventy percent, as Luo San Pao right now already had no attack strength. But how could he go through with that? Grandmaster was his Teacher, although they had only known each other for several days, already he had already gained Tang San's heartfelt respect. Nothing to be done, he could only lie.

Underfoot intentionally staggering, Tang San immediately rolled back on the ground.

Grandmaster stretched out his arms and grabbed him, he was after all a twenty ninth ranked spirit grandmaster, and although his spirit was somewhat poor, he still had spirit power. He supported Tang San with one hand,

"Little San, what..?"

"Teacher, I was scared to death. How that snake chased us."

Grandmaster looked at the datura snake in the process of terrible destruction, rebuking said:

"Just now why did you suddenly go, do you not know how dangerous that was?"

Actually, neither Grandmaster nor Tang Feng see as much as Tang San imagined. After all, this was in the middle of the night, Grandmaster and Tang Feng also did not have his Purple Demon Eye type of eye ability. In the darkness, Grandmaster only faintly saw Tang San's body fall back behind, and that blue short sword's glimmering radiance.

"I also do not know how to explain. Teacher, just now in the confusion I wielded the short sword you gave me, seemingly it dealt a piercing blow to that snake."

Pulling up Tang San's hand, in his palm there was indeed cold sweat, Grandmaster also guessed that Tang San hit the datura snake with a piercing blow, and very likely with a piercing blow to a vital spot, otherwise, how could this kind of violent and vicious, seeking revenge for a single look spirit beast not suddenly pursue and attack.

The master and his two apprentices stood up and very cautiously observed. The datura snake's hysterically frenzied struggle gradually subsided, body unceasingly twisting, smashing every single plant on the ground, revealing the soil beneath.

The short sword Grandmaster gave Tang San, although one chi two cun was not long, but it was already sufficient to skewer the datura snake's brain. That was a fatal wound.

Watching the datura snake's struggle grow weaker and weaker, Grandmaster gradually let out his breath, and following this, the expression on his face gradually began to change, the panicked look gradually became wild with joy,

"Excellent, this truly is excellent. Little San, you're getting your spirit ring."

"Teacher, what are you saying? You can't be talking about this snake, right?"

Tang San shocked looked at Grandmaster.

Grandmaster nodded seriously,

"Precisely, it's this. Datura snake's cultivation until it reaches a thousand years, every year it lives, its body will grow one centimetre, this datura snake's body already nears four metres, which also means he has nearly four hundred years cultivation. As it happens approaching the limit for absorbing the first spirit ring when going from spirit scholar to spirit master. With your innate full spirit power absorbing its spirit ring will be no problem."

"But, Teacher. My spirit is a plant, this datura snake is an animal type spirit beast. Can I use its spirit ring? Will it not cause a conflict?"

Tang San said uncertainly.
