Grandmaster ego
Following the twelve bulges protruding, the purple with blue and gold light on Tang San's back also became more and more distinct.
Suddenly, along with a burst of Tang San trembling, the eight bulges finally broke open, twelve thick and solid blue, gold pillar shapes swiftly extended from his back.
If Tang San's Shrek Academy companions were here right now, they would discover that this time the spider legs' was different now, because tang san cast his Samsara eye second ability with daydream mental power to cover the real shape and majestic aura of his spider legs.
"Good."
Grandmaster gasped in admiration,
"Little San, control your spider legs to stab a tree, use strength."
Although Tang San didn't want to follow his order, he endured it because he can meet Bibi dong in future without problems in martial tournament.
With a pu sound, Tang San move, the spider leg like it hadn't hit any obstruction, effortlessly thrust into that tree large enough that a single person could wrap his arms around it, and pierced through the other side.
An even more astonishing scene followed. Along with the spider leg skewering it, Grandmaster clearly saw a layer of purple quietly spreading from the spider leg over the tree, spreading widely across the tree trunk with astonishing speed.
Not just the tree trunk quickly became purple. In a moment, even the branches and tree leaves became the same color.
One by one tree leaves dropped from above. Before they even fell to the ground, already in midair they transformed into wisps of purple dust and faded away unseen. And that large tree melted away more like ice and snow, just like that quietly transforming into purple powder and dissolving. Even on the ground in the vicinity of the tree some bushes coming into contact with this purple powder successively became purple and disappeared, within a circumference of several meters, completely turned into a purple deathly stillness.
A faint energy transmitted along the spider leg into Tang San's body. Although the energy wasn't much, it was very distinct.
The purple dust falling to the ground gradually became colorless. In a moment it already blended together with the soil, no longer visible, and that large tree was like it had previously never existed there. Tang San's thrust out spider leg still maintained its previous position, but there was only empty air.
Grandmaster slowly walked over next to Tang San, moving around his spider legs,
"It appears my estimate was correct. Little San, this time your gain was the greatest. It's not the third spirit ring, it's even less than the third spirit ability Spider Web Restraint, but these eight spider legs, or perhaps to say, it's this external spirit bone."
"External spirit bone"
Tang San makes a surprise face at Grandmaster.
Grandmaster nodded,
"These years I always taught you how to differentiate spirit beasts and spirit rings, as well as spirit cultivation methods and every kind of application, always without speaking of knowledge pertaining to spirit bones. This is mainly because I never thought you could come into contact with spirit bones so early. It appears, right now is the time to give you a lecture relating the mysteries of spirit bones. Saying this, let's first talk about what spirit bones are."
Grandmaster sternly said:
"Spirit bones are a kind of extremely unusual thing. One might say, they are something Spirit Masters most hope of obtaining in their dreams. Somewhat analogously to spirit rings, spirit bones also come from spirit beasts. But they also possess enormous differences from spirit rings. First, The probability of spirit bones appearing are only one in a thousand, or even less, generally speaking, only with extremely formidable strength, and also when the circumstances of killing the spirit beast has some special circumstances is it possible for spirit bones to appear after killing, not at all like how a spirit ring will appear from every spirit beast. Consequently, spirit bones have become extremely uncommon, and extremely precious."
"Another difference between spirit bones and spirit rings is that it doesn't require like spirit rings for whoever kills the spirit beast to use it. After obtaining spirit bones they can even be traded. Do you still remember, I told you before, you must as much as possible save up some money. The purpose is to in the future in a somewhat peculiar place purchase the spirit bones you need. Any spirit bone, even if it's common spirit bones, is still extremely expensive. Moreover they lack markets."
Tang San secretly rolled his eyes, If grandmaster finds out his student has 4 spirit bones with the age of hundreds and million years. There's a chance his heart jumped out of his chest or directly got a heart attack.
Tang San calmly with stupid questions asked:
"Then how should spirit bones be used? Your meaning is, these twelve spider legs on my back are twelve spirit bones?"
Hearing Tang San's words, Grandmaster couldn't help but smile,
"Don't be greedy. Let alone twelve spirit bones, to be able to have one spirit bone is already extremely fortunate, to say nothing of yours still being an external spirit bone. Its value is practically comparable to first rate spirit bones. This spirit bone of yours is vertebrae, of course, also related to twelve ribs. Its effect is precisely storage for the toxin of that Man Faced Demon Spider you killed, furthermore duplicating its eight spider legs with you got mutated twelve spider legs and afterwards integrating them with your own capability, evolving into these present twelve spider legs."
"The Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring combining with your spirit somewhat promoted all aspects of your body. Blue Silver Grass' toxicity also increased a lot. But, that after all isn't the Man Faced Demon Spider's own poison. But your twelve spider legs are different. Not only possessing the Man Faced Demon Spider's toxin, even still giving rise to a certain variation. Just now you also saw its super strong corrosive effect. If this pierced the human body, what would happen?"
Grandmaster speaking of this, entirely appeared somewhat excited,
"Little San. I ask you, how many spirit rings is a Spirit Master capable of obtaining at most?"
Tang San said:
"Nine, obtaining nine is the limit, that is a Title Douluo."
Grandmaster nodded,
"Then if everyone had nine spirit rings, furthermore the age difference was negligible, how do you decide who is more formidable?"
Tang San didn't answer some time he wanted to beat this grandmaster, he knew the answer but always stopped in the middle and wanted to ask him and this showed his ego.
Grandmaster waited for seconds but didn't get an answer or question so he coughed and nodded, saying:
"It depends on what both sides' spirits are, how good their control, also depends on both sides' actual combat experience ratio, all things put together can decide who is a bit stronger. but, I can now tell you, under circumstances where both sides are equal, if one person possesses a spirit bone, then, everything you just now said doesn't necessarily count, because the Spirit Master possessing a spirit bone holds the absolute advantage."
"Ah?" Spirit bones have such great effects?"
Tang San show shocked expression at Grandmaster.
Grandmaster satisfyingly nodded, saying:
"Spirit rings add spirit abilities. Although also somewhat improving the Spirit Master's own capabilities, their main purpose is after all to add spirit abilities. But spirit bones happen to be the opposite. Spirit bones might not add abilities, but the improvement to the Spirit Masters themselves is tremendous. Even more importantly, the growth capability spirit bones possess makes them even more valuable than spirit rings. The abilities spirit rings add will all improve along with the growth of spirit power, which you are familiar with. But you should also know, the spirit rings' age limit will restrict their growth. Even if it's a ninetieth ranked or higher Title Douluo, his first spirit ring ability still won't grow to a sufficiently formidable level, this principle, but spirit bones are different. Spirit bones will not be restricted by the age of their spirit beast, and will only evolve along with the Spirit Master's own strength. In other words, the earlier spirit bones are obtained, the more time it will have to evolve."
Tang San then start his silly questions job :
"A person's body has so many bones, if one could absorb that many kinds of spirit bones into oneself, wouldn't it be countless changes… "
Grandmaster shook his head, saying:
"Although there are many bones in a person's body, they are subdivided into a few larger sections. Therefore, generally speaking, one is also only able to absorb a few types of spirit bones: four limbs, head and torso. In other words, an ordinary person would be able to absorb six spirit bones, just like a Spirit Master is able to absorb nine spirit rings, the quality of spirit bones as well as the effect on the Spirit Master, mainly depends on how early they're absorbed and whether their properties are compatible."
Tang San suddenly understood:
"Then this spirit bone I got from the Man Faced Demon Spider is undoubtedly compatible with me, belonging to different category "
"What you said is very correct. The spirit bone's methods are most suitable to you, precisely obtained from the same spirit beast as one of your spirit rings. this spirit bone of yours isn't part of the torso class or other limbs, that's why I said it's an external spirit bone."
Tang San deadpanly asked:
"Then what is an external spirit bone?"
Grandmaster very patiently explained:
"External spirit bones are a kind of miraculous existence, a special existence apart from the six main classes of spirit bones. If speaking of the probability of common spirit bones appearing from spirit beasts as one in a thousand, then, the probability of external spirit bones appearing isn't even one in ten thousand. Moreover are the prerequisites for absorbing the external spirit bone, you must first absorb the spirit ring of the spirit beast this spirit bone came from. What we call torso class spirit bones ordinarily indicates the breastbone. But this spirit bone you absorbed is nevertheless the vertebra. From what I previously observed, I can deduce that it's an external spirit bone. Child, do you know, in the Spirit Master world, to Spirit Masters, the most precious things have a ranking, called a Spirit Master's dream ranking. Within it, external spirit bones have always occupied the Spirit Master's dream ranking's second place. Second only to the first rank, the practically impossible existence of the hundred thousand year spirit ring."
Grandmaster used the easiest to understand method to tell Tang San just how precious these monstrous twelve spider legs of his were.
Grandmaster had spoken so much, his mouth was somewhat dry,
"It's early morning weather, first put on your clothes. Remember, what I told you today of external spirit bones you must not by any means tell anyone else. Although external spirit bones can't be absorbed like common spirit bones, as the saying goes 'the most outstanding tree in the forest, is certain to be ravaged by the wind'. The fewer people who know you possess an external spirit bone the better, to avoid someone coming after you out of jealousy."
Tang San put on his clothing,
Grandmaster said:
"What concrete uses it has I can't presently say. I must study it for a time to get a clear sense. Starting from today, adding to your cultivation assignment, is then to as quickly as possible master the use of the external spirit bone. From seeing the condition just now, this external spirit bone possesses extremely powerful attack power, not only piercing, but also extreme toxicity. If my thoughts are correct, then you should be able to control the poison on the spider legs. Possibly discharging according to your intentions. At the same time, with those twelve spider legs' length, haven't you thought of how to use them to move around instead of your pair of legs?"
Tang San already have many ways to use this spider legs so he just nodded,
"If it's like that, not only speed would increase, but also the effect of terrain on movement speed would substantially decrease."
Grandmaster smiled slightly, saying:
"Therefore, these twelve legs provide you with the capability to move unhindered by terrain. As for its advantages, you will hereafter see even more surprises. Furthermore, it will still evolve along with each time you advance a spirit ring, the power will even exceed your imagination, with it, you currently already have a chance when fighting opponents within a ten rank difference of you. Moreover, because external spirit bones are uncommon, only if you tell them yourself would anyone know these twelve spider legs are spirit bones, most will only believe they're one of the manifestations of your Blue Silver Grass. After all, apart from its hardness, its exterior is still extremely similar to Blue Silver Grass. As for later being able to control to what degree it manifests depends on your own effort. If you can let those twelve spider legs become like twelve highly toxic lances moving like the fingers of your own hand, one can imagine to what degree your fighting strength will grow."
As Tang San and Grandmaster returned to Shrek Academy, the sky was already bright, Grandmaster had today said a lot relating to spirit bones, although it was only an overview.
