61 Chapter 61 : Tai Tan's Doubt

After the absorption of the Diamond King Baboon's Spirit Ring was successful, Hei Yan's body had undergone many changes. His body, which initially looked a little chubby from Life Blessing, had now become slightly burly and muscular.

Of course this was the effect that obtaining the Vigorous Vajra Strength made his body extremely fit, even though he was only eight years old. Even his current appearance was almost no different from the members of the One-Strength Clan.

Right now, Hei Yan was cross-legged while cultivating using the simplified version of the Heaven's Path Divine Art, he was trying to stabilize his cultivation and adapt to all the changes.

Moreover, he had only become a Spirit Master in just a day, so he still needed time to get used to his strength.

Still, Hei Yan's talent was quite impressive, after obtaining a Spirit Ring, his Spiritual Power instantly increased to the Spiritual Connection Realm!

With the Spiritual Connection Realm and a strong body, then Hei Yan could have obtained a Purple Spirit Ring, or a Thousand Years old one!

`Well, looks like I have to help him again to maximize his potential,` thought Lin Fan who was sitting behind Hei Yan. He was trying to increase the cultivation age of the Diamond King Baboon to reach a sufficient level.

Since Lin Fan currently didn't have the Soft Ruby Pitaya Fruit, moreover he had already reached the peak foundation, he could help Hei Yan to strengthen his Beast Soul.

Putting both hands on Hei Yan's back, Lin Fan immediately poured Heaven's Path Spirit Essence into Hei Yan's body which led to his Consciousness.

This Heaven's Path Spirit Essence flows into the Diamond King Baboon who has become a Beast Soul, which gradually makes this Beast's cultivation age become stronger.

Luckily the Diamond King Baboon has intelligence than the ordinary Diamond Baboon, making this Beast not act using instinct alone and willing to accept anything without any resistance.

WEENG!

The Diamond King Baboon began to experience changes, the Beast's body began to enlarge as it obtained Heaven's Path Spirit Essence while in Hei Yan's Consciousness.

In addition, the White Spirit Ring around Hei Yan's body also emitted a hint of white light, which indicated that the Spirit Ring's cultivation age had also increased.

Since the Diamond King Baboon only has a cultivation age of one year, it makes its strengthening very fast to reach the age of hundreds of years!

WEENG!

The Diamond King Baboon has been successfully strengthened, and the White Spirit Ring around Hei Yan has turned into a Yellow Spirit Ring!

Of course this brings some changes to the Diamond Hammer, and the first Spirit Skill.

`Good! Even though it's still far from Clear Sky Hammer, Diamond Hammer is already a high level Martial Spirit,` thought Lin Fan who saw the Diamond Hammer change using the Library of Heaven's Path.

According to the Library of Heaven's Path, the Diamond Hammer has been strengthened again which makes its weight increase to 75Kg!

Although this weight was far from the ideal Lin Fan had thought of, it was still in the category that was considered extraordinary for someone with a Rank 11.

In addition, the Spirit Skill of the Diamond Hammer's first Spirit Ring is also increased, making Vigorous Smash give the effect of increasing the attack by 100%!

With a Diamond Hammer weighing up to 75Kg, and when coupled with an increase in Vigorous Smash, the Diamond Hammer's attack can reach 150Kg, which is equivalent to Clear Sky Hammer's attack!

"Not bad!" said a delighted Lin Fan. For him, seeing a Martial Spirit develop into a stronger one due to an evolution or mutation made him very excited, because this was what he had always wanted after coming to Douluo Dalu.

Especially when the current Douluo Dalu still possessed countless Spirit Beasts, it made Lin Fan eager to experiment with mutating all the Martial Spirits.

Of course Lin Fan didn't want to capture all Spirit Beasts just for fun, but he would try to get all Spirit Masters to stop hunting Spirit Beasts and get them to obtain Spirit Rings through contracts. Because if through a contract, each Beast Soul can give more than one Spirit Ring, even up to 5 Spirit Rings!

Thinking of this gave Lin Fan a purpose, `It seems I should create an organization like Spirit Pagoda, but that's for the future, since my current strength is still very limited,`

When Lin Fan was thinking about his future, suddenly the bedroom door opened with a bang!

Then Tai Tan walked in with a worried face and shouted, "Lin Fan! Stop absorbing that Spirit Ring on Hei Yan!"

Hearing Tai Tan's shout, Lin Fan seemed to have guessed it, `Oh, he has come out of his jumbled thoughts?`, he thought with a smile.

Then, Lin Fan only shook his head because Tai Tan was so careless this time, `You want to stop the absorption of the Spirit Ring like this? Do you want Hei Yan to die?`

Yes, the absorption of the Spirit Ring should not be disturbed, especially when you have started it, it must be completed to the end. And when disturbed in the middle, it will risk death.

Tai Tan should have known this, but since he had just come out of his jumbled thoughts, he didn't think about the consequences when asking to stop the absorption of the Spirit Ring for fear of destroying Hei Yan's future.

"Sir, the absorption of the Spirit Ring is complete, then how to stop it?" said Lin Fan with a smile. He wanted to tease this old man and see what kind of expression he had.

Upon hearing that, Tai Tan's expression immediately changed as if his hopes had been shattered, even turning him into an old man filled with sorrow.

"Oh no... I'm late.." said Tai Tan who was full of sadness and disappointment, he didn't expect the future of a genius to be ruined in front of his eyes.

Seeing Tai Tan who was sad, Lin Fan smiled slightly wryly because the scene he saw was quite awkward, `This... I don't know why, I feel bad seeing his expression,`

Suddenly, when the sorrowful Tai Tan looked at Hei Yan, he was surprised and curious about a Spirit Ring surrounding this child's body, "Ye.. Yellow?"

Luckily Hei Yan's Spirit Ring was still active, so Tai Tan still had time to take a look. However, this did not make him relieved, but made him feel strange, curious, and surprised.

"Why yellow?!" said a surprised Tai Tan, he even rubbed his eyes to make sure what he saw wasn't wrong.

"Oh? Sir, don't you like yellow?" asked Lin Fan in an astonished tone, he wanted to look like he didn't know anything so that Tai Tan wouldn't suspect anything.

Of course, Tai Tan spontaneously answered Lin Fan's question, "Ha? Yes, yes! I like yellow!", he said, still not understanding what was going on.

"Wait, No! I mean, why is his Spirit Ring yellow?!" said the wondering Tai Tan. He firmly believed that the Diamond Baboon had not yet reached hundreds of years, so the Spirit Ring that appeared would be White.

Moreover, the Diamond Baboon was just born not long ago, so its cultivation age must be too far away to be able to reach hundreds of years.

Of course Lin Fan had predicted this beforehand, and he had prepared a good answer to this, "Sir, I don't know either. Suddenly the Diamond Baboon turned into a White Spirit Ring without us killing it first, which then merged with Hei Yan."

"However, after fused with Hei Yan, the color of the Spirit Ring turned yellow. It was as if it had become stronger, uh, like fully fused with a Martial Spirit," said Lin Fan in an uncertain tone.

Tai Tan was confused by Lin Fan's explanation, but as a Spirit Douluo with extensive experience, he could find a clue, especially when he didn't see the corpse of the Diamond Baboo.

`Don't tell me, that the Diamond Baboon uses Sacrifice?!` thought the curious Tai Tan. According to him, Sacrifice was the only thing that made sense with Lin Fan's explanation.

Spirit Beasts can use Sacrifice to become Spirit Rings for Spirit Masters. Of course this is too rare because the relationship between the two is very bad.

Tai Tan found it strange that the Diamond Baboon shouldn't have enough intelligence to use Sacrifice, but none of the other answers made sense when Hei Yan had already obtained the Spirit Ring while the Diamond Baboon's corpse was nowhere to be seen.

`Yeah, it's most likely Sacrifice! But why is it yellow?!` thought Tai Tan who was still confused.

According to Tai Tan, Sacrifice would not increase the cultivation age of a Spirit Beast, so he thought it was impossible.

Of course, as an experienced person in the Spirit Master world, he found an answer that was quite reasonable, `Don't tell me that the Diamond Baboon's Spirit Ring is mutated?!`

Spirit Ring Mutation, this is what Tai Tan thought. It is rare for mutations to occur when absorbing a Spirit Ring, but this does not rule out the possibility that it will not happen.

And usually the Spirit Ring will mutate when the compatibility with a Martial Spirit reaches the highest level, which makes the Spirit Ring amplified and can reach the next level!

`That's right! This kid's Spirit Ring has mutated!` thought Tai Tan. Because there was no other plausible explanation, so he thought this was enough to explain everything.

Thinking of this, Tai Tan got goosebumps when he saw Hei Yan. He didn't expect that, apart from having monster talent, this kid actually had the luck to get such a rare opportunity!

While Lin Fan only saw Tai Tan pondering something, he didn't expect this old man's mind to be able to figure out the answer on its own`, Looks like this old man doesn't just have a muscle brain,` thought Lin Fan with a slight smile.

And this was what Lin Fan wanted, for which Tai Tan was able to get an answer without needing any explanation from Lin Fan. Because if Lin Fan explained it in more detail, it would make this old man suspicious of him.

`Well, at least I don't want to reveal any secrets about the Beast Soul for now. I should wait until I have enough strength,` thought Lin Fan.

When Tai Tan had calmed down, Lin Fan took this opportunity to speak to him in an innocent tone, "Sir, is there a problem with Hei Yan?"

Tai Tan shook his head, he wasn't so sure about Hei Yan's condition, but he was pretty sure that this kid was fine, "Don't worry, this kid has had an unexpected fortune," he said with a smile.

Still, Tai Tan wanted to scold Lin Fan for choosing something carelessly. But for some reason he felt it was unnecessary, especially when he saw this kid's appearance which attracted him so much.

Tai Tan sighed as he closed his eyes, `Haah, I'm getting old. I think I want a granddaughter,` he thought out of nowhere.

Then Lin Fan said again, "Sir, after Hei Yan is done, may I ask you to train me? I don't mean to be your disciple, but I just want to practice fighting."

Lin Fan's words actually made Tai Tan quite interested, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at him, "You want to practice fighting from me?" he said in surprise.

Lin Fan nodded his head, "Yes sir. I want to hone my fighting skills. Although I don't have a Spirit Ring yet, I have trained myself with some of my Self-Skills," he said with a smile.

Of course, this took Tai Tan by surprise. Self-Skills were extremely rare in Douluo Dalu, and only a few possessed them, and were usually owned by clans.

And Lin Fan said he had some Self-Skills, that meant he already had the ability to fight without using a Spirit Ring!

`Is this kid part of a clan?! But, what clan?!` thought the suspicious Tai Tan. He had never seen Lin Fan's Martial Spirit, so he couldn't judge what clan he belonged to.

Even so, the clan that had the advantage in their Strength was only the One-Strength Clan!

Tai Tan wanted to guess, but he didn't find the slightest hint from Lin Fan. "Kid, are you from a clan?" asked the curious Tai Tan.

Lin Fan was quite surprised by what Tai Tan was asking, he spontaneously shook his head and said, "No, I'm just a descendant of an ordinary commoner".

After saying that, Lin Fan then realized that he had to add something, "Ah! But I already have a teacher, he teaches cultivation and some Self-Skills, that's why I can't be your disciple,"

`Ah.. A teacher..` Tai Tan finally realized that Lin Fan's talent must be the result of training from his teacher. "Okay, fine. I will train with you after Hei Yan is done," said an excited Tai Tan.

Tai Tan was very excited about what Lin Fan had, he wanted to know how much he was capable of when fighting with his monstrous talent. `Yeah, no matter how high a person's talent is, it's useless if he dies on the battlefield`.

`Let's see, is it disappointing or not?` thought Tai Tan again.
