At level 30, armor · Sun Qi was still faster.
However, after absorbing the third spirit ring, armor · Sun Qi's lead drastically shrunk, going from a three-level lead to only one level.
Now, at the bottleneck of level 40, armor · Sun Qi broke through in half a year, while Stone Monkey · Sun Qi continuously broke through from level 38 to level 40 in the same half-year.
Who exactly has innate full spirit power, and who has innate level one spirit power?
"Your breakthrough is great news. We really can't do this Spirit hunt without you," Gu Rong said. "Sun Qi is going to try a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for his fourth ring. He practiced Heart Separation Control to Five Aperture Divided Heart early on, and now his mental force is up to standard."
In terms of physical fitness for a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, armor · Sun Qi had reached it.
He was not Tang San, who absorbed a two-thousand-year spirit ringfor his third ring, and then attempted a ten-thousand-year ring for his fourth.
Tang San naturally needed various opportunities to make up for it, because the level-skipping range of his third ring was not enough to allow him to directly skip to a ten-thousand-year ring for his next spirit ring.
armor · Sun Qi was different; he absorbed a spirit ring close to seven thousand years for his third ring.
Let alone close to seven thousand years, even absorbing a five-thousand-year ring for the third ring would normally provide enough feedback to allow him to withstand the impact of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for his fourth ring without additional enhancement.
"Although theoretically, Sun Qi should have no problem absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring by skipping levels, theory is theory. Your Uncle Ning and I discussed it,
and we want Stone Monkey · Sun Qi to integrate into Sun Qi's body again when Sun Qi is fusing his spirit ring, to help him share the physical pressure, so he can have more energy to deal with the soul shock of the ten-thousand-year spirit ring."
"Don't worry, Senior, I will definitely do that," Stone Monkey · Sun Qisaid. "Also, I might also need to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ringby skipping levels."
Gu Rong hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Shi, how do you plan to deal with the soul shock?"
If he remembered correctly, Stone Monkey · Sun Qi did not learn Heart Separation Control from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Stone Monkey · Sun Qi certainly hadn't reported it; he learned it directly from armor · Sun Qi.
However, he didn't say that either.
"Little Sun and I are two independent entities. We can assist each other to a certain extent in terms of physical endurance, and similarly, we can complement each other in the mental Domain, and it's easier to stack. With Little Sun, the soul shock I receive is directly halved."
Gu Rong gasped.
He hadn't even thought of that.
In that case, detached Spirits are truly powerful.
It's too exaggerated.
One can skip levels to absorb spirit rings to a certain extent, and even ten-thousand-year spirit rings don't need to be worried about.
In this way, every spirit ring is a level-skipping absorption that breaks through the current growth stage.
With such accumulated changes, how could he get stuck at level 29?
Continuing to cultivate, snowballing all the way, even with innate level one spirit power, he would have every opportunity to break through one restriction after another with its characteristics, transcending his innate talent.
Gu Rong marveled in his heart.
One could only say that Stone Monkey · Sun Qi had fully utilized the true advantages of a detached Spirit.
Ning Fengzhi was also filled with emotion from the side.
He remembered Ning Fengxing's report back then that Stone Monkey · Sun Qi's first spirit ring was a level-skipping absorption, skipping by decades.
One could only say that people with courage succeed in everything they do.
"Since you also need a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, then we won't waste any more time. I'll take you to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest for the Spirit hunt."
The outermost parts of the Star Dou Great Forest mostly contain ten-year and hundred-year Spirit Beasts. Further in are the activity areas of thousand-year Spirit Beasts, with occasional appearances of ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts. Even further in is the core area, which is already very close to the center of the Star Dou Great Forest and is the main habitat of ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts. As for the very center, it is a human forbidden zone, reportedly home to hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
Hunting ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the core area is the most efficient, and one can also encounter more excellent Spirit Beastbloodlines.
However, in the core area, one needs to be careful to deal with attacks from multiple ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts. One must strike swiftly, kill in one blow, then quickly fuse the spirit ring, and then withdraw from the core area.
Otherwise, if too much time is delayed, ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts will swarm.
No other reason, ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts have rudimentary intelligence, and their sense of territory is very strong.
Normally, when no Spirit Masters come to hunt, ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts live in peace.
But once a Spirit Master hunts, the neighbors will secretly observe. If the Spirit Master is driven away, they will decide whether to seize the territory of that ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast based on the situation, because even if it wasn't injured, its state would have been consumed by the Spirit Master.
If the Spirit Master wins, then they would even more want to seize the opponent's territory, so the surrounding neighbors are afraid that if they arrive late, they won't even get a share.
Therefore, unless one is extremely powerful, going to the core area for a Spirit hunt is seeking death.
Is Gu Rong strong enough?
Of course, he is.
Let alone going to the core area, he could probably go to the innermost human forbidden zone and return safely.
Half a month later.
"Let's find one for Sun Qi first; he needs a spirit ring with a lower age."
armor · Sun Qi's endurance is roughly around fourteen thousand years, which is two thousand years higher than the endurance of an ordinary level 50 Spirit Master.
Twelve thousand years, the normal endurance limit for a Spirit Master, is actually very difficult to find, requiring extensive connections, luck, and sufficient patience.
Mr. Qin's fifth ring was only a thousand years; it's not necessarily that he couldn't find helpers who could hunt ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, but rather that he couldn't ask people to help him search for a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for a long time.
With an endurance of fourteen thousand years, and with Little Sun's assistance, armor · Sun Qi could attempt a fifteen-thousand-year spirit ring. Of course, the soul shock might be even more terrifying, so Gu Rong's intention was not to take risks and to set the target at around thirteen thousand years.
As for Stone Monkey · Sun Qi, his own endurance was over sixteen thousand years, so Gu Rong planned to find him a fifteen-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
"Compared to the two outer areas, the core area's structure is more stable, because they are all ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts that rule their own mountains, each with a fixed territory."
Gu Rong led the two through the core area, his spirit power fluctuations making the surrounding ten-thousand and twenty-thousand-year Spirit Beasts behave obediently, not even daring to let out a roar.
Sun Qi observed left and right, he even activated his unique perception.
Stone Monkey Body.
armor Main Body, Eyes Main Body.
Twin Spirits Main Body.
The former two are now in the Star Dou Great Forest, the latter two are one in Soto City, which is not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, and one at the junction of the two Empires, in another direction, also not far from the Star Dou Great Forest.
With the four Main Bodies gathered, Sun Qi completed the connection of four points, and his perception of space greatly improved.
He did not enter a god-like perspective.
However, even in his current state, his perception was directly comparable to Gu Rong's.
His perception was a perception of spatial fluctuations, and it was even more convenient for finding targets than Gu Rong's.
"Hiss~"
Sun Qi suddenly felt a pang of pain.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Rong noticed the abnormality of Stone Monkey · Sun Qi and armor · Sun Qi and asked.
"Teacher, there is a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast capable of cutting space over there."
armor · Sun Qi pointed in the direction that had just caused him perceptual pain.
"Cutting space?" Gu Rong's eyes lit up.
Business is here.
