60 Chapter 60: Rings Fusion?

"Your fusion degree is likely to have reached the level of an ordinary Spirit Saint. Perhaps you can try practicing other abilities of Xiao Zhan," reminded Ning Fengzhi.

Although he had other important matters, he still reminded Su Wen of this point.

Xiao Zhan also selfom takes action, so many of his abilities were known to the outside world.

Especially the technique of directly mobilizing Martial Spirit, being able to use Spirit Skills without releasing Martial Spirit Spirit Ring, is his signature ability.

At higher levels, the enhancement of Xiao Zhan's ability will gradually manifest, which is not very useful for low-level Spirit Masters, especially those at a basic level who can't learn it.

But for Su Wen, this ability is both learnable and useful.

The second ring of the Thousand Year Old Ring is too conspicuous.

Nowadays, the number of people who actually know Su Wen's identity as a student of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is still small.

The royal family's blockade of information is very effective. Apart from the three major boards of education, the seven members of the team, Xiao Zhan, and Qin Ming, the rest of the teachers in the academy know little about Su Wen.

As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they are now very close to Su Wen, and they are eager for Su Wen's identity to be revealed only after they have completely fulfilled their obligations. Naturally, they are also maintaining secrecy very well.

However, Su Wen has been fighting in the Great Spirit Arena for too long. Many people are watching him. Some of the forces investigating his identity through the Great Spirit Arena have been intercepted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Many speculate that the "Scholar Warrior" comes from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Even so, there have been no overt actions, but the covert actions have never stopped. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is powerful, but it cannot keep offending so many sects indefinitely.

After all, those sects have been seeking an explanation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect under the guise of Spirit Master realm development, and their attitude has been amicable. The pressure of public opinion on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has gradually increased.

So if Su Wen's second ring of the Thousand Year Old can fade out of the Great Spirit Arena sooner, the pressure on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also be reduced.

"Alright, Uncle Ning, I will hide the Spirit Ring as soon as possible."

Recalling his battles in the Great Spirit Arena over the past few months, Su Wen confirmed that he had not exposed his identity as a student of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. He had not fought in double rows or in the seven-man formation with other members of the team.

"Well, I agree to your request to learn Heart Separation Control. In fact, many high-level Auxiliary Spirit Masters have mastered this technique, but the Heart Separation Control in our sect is more systematic," said Ning Fengzhi.

"This is the method of Heart Separation Control. Take a look first, and if there are any details you don't understand, you can ask me."

Ning Fengzhi didn't stay too long.

He explained the details of Heart Separation Control once and then discussed theoretical research with Su Wen. Two days later, he left the academy.

"Teacher, it seems that Su Wen's theoretical level is even higher than I imagined," Xue Qinghe said.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "Xiaowen's theoretical level is already among the top on the continent, and he has also developed his own logic. Most importantly, he seems to strongly advocate for the practical application of theory."

'Xue Qinghe' naturally knew all this; he was simply probing to assess the depth of the relationship between Su Wen and Ning Fengzhi.

"Well, he once told me that knowledge is power, and true theoretical scholars are those who can apply knowledge to cultivation, solving their own dilemmas," Ning Fengzhi said.

Endorsement? Summarization? Publishing theories? These are all side jobs. True theoretical scholars focus on targeted and meaningful research topics.

'Xue Qinghe' and Ning Fengzhi did not continue to delve into this topic further.

However, from their expressions, one could discern a trace of disdain direct at someone...

...

Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Su Wen is practicing the Heart Separation Control technique. Even Qin Ming is starting to fall behind Su Wen's pace in guiding his cultivation. There's no way around it; someone who studies theory understands their own situation best.

He remains in the team mainly to find his own shortcomings through battles and to enjoy the resources provided by the academy. In fact, it doesn't hold much significance anymore.

"Uncle Zhan, it seems like I've grasped your Spirit Fusion Method," Su Wen said. His development of the First Spirit Skill is actually a sign of grasping the Spirit Fusion Method, but due to the fusion degree, he couldn't delve deeper. 

Now that the fusion degree has reached a certain level, he can actually execute it. However, he still needs a pretext. After Xiao Zhan taught him once, Su Wen pretended to practice for two days and then 'learned' it.

"So fast?" Xiao Zhan was surprised. Internally, he was truly shocked. Given Su Wen's current talent, he could completely inherit all of Xiao Zhan's abilities. Moreover, Su Wen could potentially be even stronger, paving a broader path as a Spirit Master with his Book Martial Spirit.

"Alright, now that you've mastered the Spirit Fusion Method, let me teach you another technique," Xiao Zhan didn't intend to let Su Wen rest. He would teach him each skill as they come.

"Rings Fusion?" Su Wen was surprised by the new technique Xiao Zhan was imparting to him.

"Yes, Rings Fusion, but it's different from what you know," Xiao Zhan nodded, then shook his head, explaining, "The Rings Fusion you've read about in the materials actually require talent; it's about exploring your innate abilities."

"My Rings Fusion, on the other hand, are true techniques that can be learned later."

"However, since I already have the Spirit Fusion Method, during battles, I never exposed my Martial Spirit Ring, so others couldn't see that I was using Rings Fusion."

Su Wen understood and nodded. Rings Fusion required talent, which was why Su Wen didn't mention them when requesting to learn Heart Separation Control techniques. He just hadn't expected Xiao Zhan to have developed a technique for learning Rings Fusion after the fact.

"However, my Rings Fusion are still different," Xiao Zhan reminded Su Wen. "While they can be named Rings Fusion for their effects, there are actually differences in their true manifestations."

Xiao Zhan released his Martial Spirit, and a book emanating a scorching flame aura, with flames tinged purple, emerged. Seven Spirit Rings rose from beneath him: two yellow, two purple, and three black — the optimal combination of Spirit Rings.

"Hmm?"

In essence, Rings Fusion involve using all of the consumed Soul Power while releasing multiple Spirit Skills to fully unleash the effects of one particular Spirit Skill. Simply put, it enhances explosive power. If each Spirit Skill's release is like a faucet, Rings Fusion involve using other Spirit Skills' faucets to unleash one Spirit Skill explosively.

This is a talent that is even more convenient and has a much higher burst limit than simply developing Spirit Skills. However, today, Xiao Zhan showcased his Rings Fusion technique, and it was completely different.

Su Wen saw Xiao Zhan's seven Spirit Rings start to converge, actually beginning to assemble into a divided disk consisting of seven layers. They weren't truly blending, but they were pieced together.

"My Rings Fusion, by merging multiple Spirit Rings, can also have explosive effects, but the main point is something else!"
