*****

Strength: 0, Blue Silver Grass had no destructive power.

Speed: 1, Blue Silver Grass couldn't move at all, but it grew relatively fast, barely giving it a score of 1.

Defense: 0, Blue Silver Grass that had not been strengthened by a spirit ring could be torn apart by anyone.

Endurance: 5, endurance represented the recovery speed, and Blue Silver Grass was strong in this aspect. It consumed very little spirit power to maintain the spirit, and had very good durability.

Energy: 0, Blue Silver Grass had no energy that could be released.

Special: 3, it had a strong vitality, could enhance its own perception ability, and could slightly sense the life energy transmitted by other Blue Silver Grass.

Six-dimensional graph, one item five points, full score thirty, Blue Silver Grass only had nine.

Low!

It was indeed a waste spirit.

Except for durability, it was useless.

"The situation was very clear now. The advantages of the Blue Silver Grass were only two: low spirit power consumption and extremely strong vitality." Tang San rubbed his tender chin and pretended to be mature. "And the other spirit..."

  It was not the time to test now. Who knew if Tang Hao was watching him in the dark. It was better to be sneaky and focus on the Blue Silver Grass in the early stage.

  But even without testing, Tang San could roughly estimate that the Haotian Hammer's strength was definitely 5, speed, including attack speed, could be 2, because swinging a hammer was not as fast as swinging a knife;

  In terms of defense, the hammer was quite hard, but it was not as big as a shield. Although it could increase its size by injecting spirit power, it would lose one thing and gain another, and it was not objective. It could only be said to be 3;

  In terms of endurance, the spirit power consumption was relatively large. With Tang San's current level ten spirit power, he could not last more than half an hour. He could only score 1;

  In terms of energy, the Haotian Hammer had a peculiar energy of its own. Through the guidance of spirit power, it could make objects appear in a state of being shattered. It might be able to score 4;

  In terms of special, it was 0. He had not tested it, but maybe the previous energy could also be counted in this point. But because he had not done a specific test, he did not count it for the time being.

  But it was just a rough estimate. The Haotian Hammer without a single spirit ring had a score of 14.

  If he really did the test, it would be at least fifteen or more. In this world, it really deserved the name of "Haotian".

  After testing the strengths and weaknesses of the Blue Silver Grass spirit, Tang San went to the study, opened a book, and his eyes fell on a picture. It showed a plant spirit beast that grew like a fishing net:

  Thousand Root Banyan!

  The Thousand Root Banyan was a plant-type spirit beast that had a very special way of growing. It attached its seeds to other trees. After the seeds sprouted, the roots grew first, and they continued to differentiate along the attached trees until they wrapped around the trunk of the whole tree. Then the roots entered the soil and continued to spread, forming a root system like a net, covering the entire forest, slowly strangling other plants, blocking their roots, and taking away all the nutrients.

  According to legend, the Thousand Root Banyan was not a seed that sprouted, but a root network formed by the connection of multiple seeds' roots, which drew the power of the earth to grow.

  Even the Thousand Root Banyan with a high age could form a forest with one tree, covering hundreds of miles.

  And this spirit beast had no mobility, nor did it produce intelligence. But once it grew to more than ten thousand years, no one would hunt it.

  Because the roots of the Thousand Root Banyan were very hard, like metal and stone, extremely tough, and the Thousand Root Banyan had no main root. It needed to cut off all the net-like roots to truly kill it. It was very troublesome.

  Not many spirit masters were willing to compete with a tree that was hard and troublesome.

  They were not lumberjacks!

  According to the records of the Noding City Spirit Hall, there had been no spirit master who chose this plant spirit beast as a spirit ring for more than five hundred years, because it was too troublesome to deal with.

  Five hundred years ago, spirit masters cut down the Thousand Root Banyan and obtained spirit rings, mainly to enhance the hardness of their spirits. But Tang San noticed that the Thousand Root Banyan had a huge root system that could penetrate deep into the ground, and even cover thousands of miles.

  Plant spirits, without roots, how could they be complete?

  Moreover, the Thousand Root Banyan had a very strong vitality. In the seed stage, the roots had to survive for several days without directly contacting water. After growing up, it could draw the power of the earth, nourish the branches and leaves, and form a lush crown. This could definitely make his Blue Silver Grass more lush.

  After choosing the spirit beast, Tang San found Matthew and Suyun Tao.

  "Little Tang, why are you so excited? Have you decided what spirit beast to choose?" Matthew looked serious. "Tell me, let me refer to it?"

  "Thousand Root Banyan."

  "Thousand Root Banyan? That's a spirit beast with a very strong vitality. I remember there's one in the soul hunting forest near Noding City. It's about five hundred years old. The age is a bit high."

  Suyun Tao thought for a while and remembered where the Thousand Root Banyan was. "Do you want to change it? The age is too high. There may be suitable ones in other soul hunting forests, but Master Matthew and I can't leave Noding City too far. That's dereliction of duty."

  Due to identity issues, he and Matthew could not leave Noding City and the nearby villages.

  "Just this one, I have confidence in absorbing it."

  Tang San made up his mind. "Regarding the absorption limit of the spirit ring, according to the information I saw from the Spirit Hall, the spirit ring limit that spirit masters can absorb has been increasing. I believe I can withstand a five hundred year spirit ring. This theory, I am willing to try it myself."

  "Of course, even if I succeed, others can't directly imitate it. They have to make a preliminary judgment based on various factors such as their own spirit type, physical quality, spirit beast attribute and spirit attribute."
