4 Chapter 4: First Spirit Ring

Celestial Azure Bamboo is one of the very common plant spirit beasts, and its weaknesses are very obvious. Not only is it impossible for it to move, but the living environment is also very simple. Coupled with the improved eyesight brought by the Owl Martial Spirit, it took only half an hour for Flender to lead Gu Yi to find a Celestial Azure Bamboo. "The age of this Celestial Azure Bamboo is not very old, so it is very suitable to be your first spirit ring." After landing, Flender looked at the Celestial Azure Bamboo not far away and said.

Gu Yi took a few glances and was more sure than Flender that the Celestial Azure Bamboo was at least five hundred years old, but he did not explain it. Not to mention that his current physique has long surpassed that of ordinary beast spirit masters, plus a body with eight extraordinary meridians and self-created internal strength, these are his strengths. If he wasn't worried about the qualitative improvement of the thousand-year Spirit Beast's spirit ring, he would even ask Flender to take him to find Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. Although the theory summarized by the grandmaster has many errors and shortcomings, it still has merits.

"Then let's take this one." After waiting for Gu Yi's answer, Flender also swung out a burst of spirit power, hitting the Celestial Azure Bamboo not far away. From a distance of tens of meters, this spirit power hit the Celestial Azure Bamboo, directly causing cracks to form. "Okay, take this knife and go up and kill this Celestial Azure Bamboo." Flender took out a short knife from nowhere.

"No need, teacher, just watch." Gu Yi stepped forward, pointed his right hand at the Celestial Azure Bamboo, who was very close at hand, and struck him with the Guan Chong Sword. Guan Chong Sword, whose power was originally looked down upon by Gu Yi, had an unexpected effect. With one blow, it penetrated the bamboo and the bamboo body fell to the ground.

Flender behind him opened his eyes wide, and he saw something. Creating your own spirit skills. Yes, in addition to spirit masters being able to acquire spirit skills by absorbing spirit rings, there are also some amazingly talented people who can develop powerful enough spirit skills. These kinds of spirit skills are called self-created spirit skills. Today he actually saw it in this child who was not yet seven years old.

Incredible.

A yellow spirit ring appeared on the Celestial Azure Bamboo's body. Flender was no longer surprised and shouted quickly, "You brat, absorb the spirit ring." Gu Yi had read so many books and understood how to absorb it. As the yellow spirit ring entered the body, Gu Yi also felt the pressure. Not daring to hesitate at all, he directly started to run his skills to absorb the spirit ring. An extremely hot energy surged into his body, and the powerful energy caused pain all over his body. Hot energy swept through the whole body, and as the exercise moved, the energy in the body gradually began to be controlled. Following the operation of the exercise, it walked in the body, and at the same time, it continuously strengthened the meridians, making his meridians more powerful and tough. This was something he couldn't do with his previous training.

Slowly, Gu Yi felt that something inside his body had broken, and the bottleneck that had been impossible to break through was now unimpeded. And after this absorption, Gu Yi felt that the spirit power could actually enter those small meridians that were difficult to enter.

The spirit power in the Dantian[1] of the lower abdomen also became thicker and more solid. Not only that, Gu Yi felt that his body was completely opened, as if there was no separation between him and the world. All 360 acupoints[2] in his body were breathing, and his spirit power was moving faster.

Vaguely, Gu Yi also knew what his first spirit skill was. The spirit master system is really strange. You can master various powerful spirit skills without practicing hard. Compared to martial arts that require constant practice, spirit skills are indeed much simpler. But that was not what he cared about. Feeling the changes in his meridians, he was sure that he had succeeded. The meridians have become extraordinarily powerful. Even if the Guan Chong Sword is condensed again, it is easy and the meridians will no longer feel pain.

Standing up, Gu Yi realized that he had not only undergone great changes internally after absorbing the spirit ring this time, but also experienced great changes externally. He has grown a little taller, and at least when Flender sits in the future, he no longer needs to raise his head. Not only that, the body has also become smoother and more delicate, not much worse than white jade.

"Successful, let me see your spirit skills." Flender is a little eager to know about the spirit skills that Gu Yi possesses. If Gu Yi's idea is wrong, he must stop him in time. The second spirit ring is very important. We can no longer do things according to his temper.

"The first spirit skill, increases defense." A yellow spirit ring rose from his feet, and the yellow spirit ring flashed. It was like Flender had awakened the martial soul for Gu Yi for the first time, and did not notice any changes.

"What's the purpose of your spirit skill?" Even with his spirit saint's eyes, he couldn't see what purpose it had. Sure enough, this martial spirit was too strange.

Gu Yi did not expect that the spirit skill he obtained this time would be this, and replied: "Increase body toughness by 100% and energy resistance by 150%."

Flender frowned slightly, this spirit skill sounded really good for a spirit master with a powerful beast spirit. But for Gu Yi, the awakening of the martial soul did not bring much improvement in physical fitness, and the possession of the martial spirit could not increase the physical fitness. In fact, it doesn't have much effect. This spirit skill can be said to be half useless.

Gu Yi looked at Flender's frown knowing what he was thinking but he was quite satisfied with this spirit skill. Especially the improvement in energy resistance allowed him to come up with many ideas.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, was the spirit skill you used earlier your own?" Flender finally remembered the spirit skill he created.

"Dean, are you sure you want me to explain to you here?" Gu Yi gestured to the surroundings. The movement just now had attracted the attention of the surrounding spirit beasts. Although Flender could easily deal with these spirit beasts that were less than a thousand years old, it was not necessary. Not to mention wasting spirit power and causing trouble again.

"Let's go back to the academy." Flender was like an eagle catching a chicken again, flying with Gu Yi in hand. Looking at the forest getting further and further away, Gu Yi didn't expect that this spirit hunting journey would be so smooth and fast. Although the results have changed a bit, it is still an excellent thing for him.

Martial Arts, here I come.

…..

At the same time, on the west side of Holy Soul Village, a half-grown boy was standing on a stool cooking. Accompanied by bursts of snoring and the unpleasant smell of alcohol, the child did not feel the slightest resentment. For him, this hard-won family relationship is the most important. Just cooking. As long as he exists, anyone who dares to destroy his family will be killed. Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the child Tang San.

[2]The number of acupoints in the human body can vary depending on different sources and classifications within TCM. Generally, TCM literature lists over 300 acupoints, though some sources may reference up to 400 or more. These acupoints are located along the body's meridians, which are pathways through which Qi (vital energy) flows. Each acupoint has specific functions and therapeutic effects when stimulated through techniques such as acupuncture, acupressure, or moxibustion.
