DD2: Glory of the Unrivaled Angel

The absorption process took a long time for both Ling Bai and Tang Ya due to the age of their spirit rings and other factors. Ning Tian took out some special medicines made by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and sprinkled them around to ward off spirit beasts.

"Mmm..."

Ling Bai suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. His bright golden eyes sparkled brilliantly, his energy fully restored to its peak state.

"Bai-ge, you did it!"

Ning Tian was the first to notice Ling Bai's change and quickly stepped forward.

Ling Bai patted her head gently. As he channeled his spirit power, four spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—rapidly rose from his feet. The most striking among them was the jet-black 10,000-year spirit ring that emitted a profound aura as if it could swallow all surrounding light.

From this moment on, his strength had leaped to an even higher level.

Ling Bai couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile upon sensing his newly acquired fourth spirit skill. The Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture's spirit skill pleased him greatly.

"Such good luck."

Wu Feng quietly approached and said with a tone of indifference.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Ling, on achieving your goal."

Bei Bei's eyes held complex emotions. Ling Bai had fulfilled his claims, matching—no, surpassing—Tang San's spirit ring configuration at the same rank. When Tang San was a Spirit Ancestor, his spirit rings were merely yellow, yellow, purple, and black.

Huo Yuhao was even more envious. Even though he had obtained an unprecedented 1,000,000-year spirit ring, he still felt Skydream Iceworm didn't seem entirely reliable and that perhaps a solid 10,000-year spirit ring was more appealing.

Ling Bai stretched lazily and walked toward the corpse of the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture. Seeing the shattered, bloody remains before him, and recalling the thrill of life slipping away beneath his fingertips earlier, he couldn't help but feel a surge of desire in his heart, which he quickly suppressed.

The Death Spider Emperor fed on flesh and blood; the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor preferred devouring souls. The fused Death Abyss Spider Emperor combined the strengths of both!

It wanted it all!

As the possessor of this Martial Spirit, Ling Bai was inevitably influenced by the Death Abyss Spider Emperor. Fortunately, the Seraphim helped him maintain the last shred of clarity in his mind.

Ling Bai conducted a routine check for spirit bones, though without much hope. Suddenly, he froze. Then, excitedly, he slashed open the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture's bone claw with his sword.

Inside was indeed a spirit bone!

The spirit bone was entirely platinum in color and resembled a human arm bone. Its shape was very complete which was an indication of its high quality. Five slender fingers pointed upward, each fingertip emitting a faint platinum glow.

A 10,000-year Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture's right arm bone!

Everyone was immediately drawn to the spirit bone. Wu Feng's eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed, "A 10,000-year spirit ring and a 10,000-year spirit bone... Ling Bai, what's with your dog shit luck?"

The next second, Ling Bai's hand chop landed on her head with a resounding thud. Wu Feng immediately crouched down, clutching her head.

"Girls should be more refined. Don't go around talking about gross things all day."

Ning Tian observed the spirit power fluctuations and texture of the spirit bone, then said, "Even within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's collection, it's hard to find 10,000-year spirit bones that can compare to this one."

"So beautiful..."

With his limited experience, Huo Yuhao couldn't fully comprehend the value of the spirit bone, but its exquisite appearance left a deep impression on him, causing him to blurt out his thoughts.

Bei Bei's perception differed entirely from Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao's. He said earnestly, "I can sense very strong light energy within this spirit bone. It likely carries the Light Holy Dragon bloodline inherited from the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture, making it extremely compatible with your Seraphim Martial Spirit."

Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon also inherited the Light Holy Dragon bloodline from Dragon God Douluo Mu En, which allowed him to resonate with the bloodline within the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture's spirit bone.

Since Ling Bai had contributed the most to killing the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture, this spirit bone rightfully belonged to him. Without hesitation, he sat down cross-legged to absorb it.

About an hour later, Ling Bai and Tang Ya woke up one after another. The gap in talent between the two was evident. Ling Bai had absorbed both a 10,000-year spirit ring and a 10,000-year spirit bone, yet he awoke slightly before Tang Ya, who had only absorbed a 1,000-year spirit ring.

Tang Ya's petite, moist red lips formed a large 'O' shape as she listened to Bei Bei recount the thrilling events that had occurred while she was absorbing her spirit ring.

Who could understand her feelings? Waking up to find her whole worldview turned upside down!

Her newly accepted little disciple had a spiritual-type Body Martial Spirit—the Spirit Eyes!

Her junior sister was a direct descendant of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!

And her junior brother turned out to be a Seraphim, and a 4-ringed Seraphim at that!

Thinking that it would be difficult for her to break through to the fourth ring even by graduation, she immediately hid under the roots of a nearby tree, drawing circles on the ground while muttering tearfully:

"I curse you monsters to sneeze in the middle of the night!"

After a bout of helpless laughter, everyone gathered to discuss their next steps. By now, the sky had completely darkened. Camping in the Star Dou Forest was definitely not a good idea.

The six of them decisively maintained their previous formation and swiftly headed toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

Their luck was surprisingly good. On their journey, they only encountered a few 100-year spirit beasts, which were easily dealt with by Tang Ya, who had just advanced to Spirit Elder and was itching for a fight.

Four hours later, they finally exited the territory of the Star Dou Forest and continued another fifty kilometers outward. At this distance, they no longer had to worry about encountering spirit beasts.

The sound of babbling water came from nearby. Under the moonlight, a clear stream reflecting the starry sky appeared before them. The melodic sound of flowing water brought a refreshing coolness.

Tang Ya cheered and rushed to the stream, scooping up water with her slender jade hands to gently splash her face.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng joined her. Both of them were usually meticulous about cleanliness and used the water to wash off the dust and sweat from their bodies.

Ling Bai rested his hands on the back of his neck and gazed at Ning Tian's delicate silhouette with a gentle smile on his face.

Huo Yuhao, relying on the enhanced vision provided by his Spirit Eyes, clearly saw the fish swimming at the bottom of the stream. He glanced around at the somewhat familiar surroundings and exclaimed in delight, "Teacher Xiao Ya, Senior Brother, this is where we had grilled fish when we first met!"

"What!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya, who had been hungry most of the day, immediately brightened and said eagerly:

"Yuhao, hurry, hurry! Bei Bei will catch the fish, I'll gather some twigs, and you grill the fish! I can't forget the taste of your grilled fish after having it once. Let Junior Brother Ling and the others taste your cooking!"

She then winked at Ling Bai and the others. "Trust your senior sister. Yuhao's grilled fish is super, super, super delicious!"

Ling Bai wholeheartedly agreed. Having read 'The Unrivaled Tang Sect,' he always believed that Huo Yuhao's talent in cooking absolutely surpassed his cultivation talent!

Even if he hadn't become a Spirit Master, he could still have become a renowned chef!

Bei Bei stood under a lush giant tree. Upon hearing Tang Ya's call, he smiled indulgently, rolled up his sleeves, and waded into the river. Blue-purple electric sparks danced between his fingertips.

Ling Bai's eyelid twitched. He seemed to understand what Bei Bei intended to do next and could only think:

Electrofishing!
