Chapter 26: Blue Silver Blessing
Under Lu Chen’s full control, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, having absorbed four spirit rings and undergone four evolutions, displayed extremely powerful resilience.
Thick branches, like serpents and pythons, tightly bound the Demon Spirit Tree, suppressing it into a state of extreme weakness with the purifying power of Blue Silver Purification.
Seizing this opportunity, Lu Chen unleashed his self-created Spirit Ability, Burst Step, arriving in front of it in a few leaps. He raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, erupted with all his strength, and smashed it toward the Demon Spirit Tree:
"Cannon Fist!"
Thick spirit power was channeled to his fist. After being highly compressed, it radiated an imposing aura!
As Lu Chen slammed his fist into the Demon Spirit Tree, a terrifying energy shockwave swept out, leaving a deep punch mark directly on the trunk.
Not only that, the energy shockwave penetrated into the interior of the Demon Spirit Tree, wreaking havoc inside its body. The trunk trembled violently, emitting a creaking sound, sounding quite overwhelmed.
"What a Demon Spirit Tree. Since one punch can’t break you, then I’ll hit you ten times, a hundred times, until I break you!"
Lu Chen’s eyes were bright. As his words fell, he attacked left and right, smashing punch after punch toward the Demon Spirit Tree’s trunk.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
The dull thuds of his fists hitting the trunk were almost incessant. Even though Lu Chen’s fists became a bloody mess, and his finger bones and hand bones began to develop fine cracks due to the recoil force,
the feeling of pain rushed straight to his crown. Although he tried his best to suppress it, the corners of his eyes still twitched from time to time, showing that physical pain is not so easy to suppress.
Even so, Lu Chen continued to throw punches, his movements never stopping for a moment.
Pain kept his brain clear!
Hatred filled him with motivation!
This Demon Spirit Tree was doomed today; it must become his fifth spirit ring!
No one could stop him!
Crack! Boom!
Lu Chen didn’t count whether he had thrown dozens or hundreds of punches.
But under his relentless attacks, the Demon Spirit Tree finally became overwhelmed. The trunk snapped with a crack and fell to the ground with a boom.
This 25,000-year-old Demon Spirit Tree had already been weakened by the suppression of Blue Silver Purification, and now that its trunk had snapped, it breathed its last.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A surging, vast black light was released from the Demon Spirit Tree’s trunk. That eerie, evil energy made the air become viscous.
The energy fluctuations it emitted made one feel oppressed.
As the black light transformed several times, it finally condensed into a black spirit ring.
Seeing this, Lu Chen finally let out a sigh of relief. Hard work pays off; he had finally killed the Demon Spirit Tree.
Even though the fists of his left and right hands had become a bloody mess, and his finger bones and hand bones had developed fine cracks due to the recoil force.
Fortunately, it was all worth it!
"First Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Recovery!"
"Second Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Grace!"
As Lu Chen successively unleashed his first and second Spirit abilities, the Blue Silver Grass surrounding him swayed gently, releasing waves of blue light mist.
Bathing in that blue light mist, his cracked finger bones and hand bones began to heal rapidly, and his bloody, mangled fists began to scab over and recover quickly.
At the same time, the fatigue of his mind and body was greatly relieved under the soothing of Blue Silver Grace, gradually returning to its Peak state.
That cool, refreshing feeling washed over him, finally suppressing the burning pain. Lu Chen chuckled and said:
"The Spirit Beast I chose is truly excellent. Whether it’s Blue Silver Recovery or Blue Silver Grace, they are both quite practical abilities."
"I hope this Demon Spirit Tree won’t disappoint me either, and will bring me a skill that meets my expectations."
Having gradually recovered, Lu Chen prepared to absorb his fifth spirit ring.
However, before that, Lu Chen first dug a pit in the ground. It became more disgusting the more he dug; he saw that underground, there were layers upon layers of unknown numbers of Spirit Beast remains piled up.
As Lu Chen dug, these Spirit Beast remains were all exposed, and the foul stench almost hit him in the face. Lu Chen frowned the entire time he was digging.
Although it looked disgusting, it was for the sake of safety.
Lu Chen had no other choice. He jumped into the deep pit, sat down cross-legged, then raised his hand and grabbed upward, controlling the branches of his Blue Silver Grass to extend outward.
They tightly wrapped around the Demon Spirit Tree’s body, dragging the trunk to completely block off the large pit.
All of this was for safety, to avoid being disturbed by any Spirit Beasts that might suddenly run out while he was absorbing the spirit ring.
After making full preparations, Lu Chen closed his eyes, operated his Meditation Method, communicated with his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and began to absorb this 25,000-year-old Demon Spirit Tree spirit ring.
In the next instant, that spirit ring floated down, set itself upon his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and quickly shrank, merging into the Spirit.
Evil, oppressive, bloody, filthy...
Lu Chen frowned!
The feeling this spirit ring gave him could be said to be very bad.
He had never had this feeling before when absorbing spirit rings.
But there was no turning back now. Lu Chen had no choice but to mobilize his own spirit power and began to suppress the Demon Spirit Tree’s spirit ring with all his might.
And using the powerful tolerance of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, he worked to dissolve and neutralize the evil of the Demon Spirit Tree spirit ring.
Fortunately, he already had experience absorbing ten-thousand-year spirit rings.
Although absorbing this 25,000-year-old Demon Spirit Tree spirit ring made him feel significant pressure, the absorption process was still relatively smooth.
Eventually, relying on the powerful tolerance of the Blue Silver Grass, he gradually expelled the evil nature of the Demon Spirit Tree spirit ring and began to absorb the massive spirit power contained within the spirit ring, as well as the Origin of the Spirit Beast that contained the breath of life.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner!
The counterattack launched by the Demon Spirit Tree’s Soul resentment had no effect under Lu Chen’s focused mind, and in the end, its Soul completely dissipated.
After more than an hour of long absorption, this 25,000-year-old Demon Spirit Tree spirit ring finally transformed into Lu Chen’s fifth spirit ring.
After successfully absorbing the spirit ring, Lu Chen opened his eyes instantly. He controlled the branches of his Blue Silver Grass to move the Demon Spirit Tree trunk above his head aside, and then leaped out of the large pit.
Lu Chen breathed in a mouthful of fresh air and felt a sense of relief from the bottom of his heart.
The foul-smelling pit just now had truly disgusted him. If it hadn’t been for safety considerations, he would never have hidden in such a place.
After relaxing slightly, Lu Chen began to observe his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
This look was incredible!
He saw that his current Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was somewhat translucent throughout; it no longer looked like a plant, but rather like it was carved from jade.
Lu Chen was overjoyed:
"After absorbing three thousand-year spirit rings and two ten-thousand-year spirit rings, my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is definitely no longer ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Even if it hasn’t evolved into the Blue Silver King yet, it should be infinitely close to the Blue Silver King!"
"It looks okay. After absorbing the Demon Spirit Tree’s spirit ring, it didn’t make my Blue Silver Grass evil. It’s still as peaceful and calm, exuding a rich breath of life."
"Now my spirit power has skyrocketed to level 60. I can still absorb a sixth spirit ring. Haha... A six-ring Spirit Emperor who is over nine but under ten years old—if I told this to anyone, who would believe it!"
"Relying on my Golden Finger that makes me stronger just by breathing, I am confident that I can become a Titled Douluo before the age of fifteen, and perhaps even become the number one in the world before the age of twenty."
"As for the God Position, with this Golden Finger of mine, becoming a god is a certainty!"
"As for this fifth spirit ring, it really brought me a good Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Blessing. It guides the power of life into the body and can increase all attributes by 100%. Attack, defense, speed, strength... an all-around boost. This can almost double one’s strength!"
"It really is worthy of being a 25,000-year spirit ring. It perfectly inherited the Demon Spirit Tree’s abilities, yet without being tainted by the Demon Spirit Tree’s evil. Very good, I am very satisfied."
