2° Spirit Ring...

Two years later, Long Yun arrived at Nuodding Academy.

Tired of his somewhat monotonous school life, Long Yun easily obtained the headmaster's permission to go on a trip to hunt for his second spirit ring. Of course, he went alone to accumulate even more experience.

...

Ten days after arriving at your destination.

Long Yun was cautiously walking deeper into Sunset Forest.

Along the way, he hunted down many Spiritual Beasts from five hundred to thirteen hundred years ago. It was a pity that he still hadn't found any spirit beast more compatible with him.

"What's going on? I've walked much deeper into Sunset Forest, but I still haven't seen any spiritual beasts from two millennia or higher."

Long Yun couldn't understand what was happening, so he kept walking.

After starting to absorb Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's knowledge, he felt that it was much easier to develop on his own.

Roar!

Roar!

After advancing for a few hundred meters, a frightening noise suddenly came from a certain direction.

It was the roar of a mighty spirit beast.

Long Yun hurriedly walked in that direction and after parting the vegetation to take a look, Long Yun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The Sunset Forest vegetation was very dense, affecting line of sight and lighting. However, through the dense mottled shadows of the trees, Long Yun managed to see a giant crawling beast.

It was a giant python, the thickness of a bucket of water and also 40 meters long. In fact, it was swallowing a black wolf as big as an ox in its stomach.

The python's entire body was purple, and its mouth was wide open.

The black wolf's head had already been swallowed by the Dragon Python. If nothing out of the ordinary happened, this black wolf would become a meal for this Dragon Python.

Long Yun swallowed his saliva as hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to hunt this giant python on the one hand and get his spirit ring; but on the other hand, he also felt a dangerous aura coming out of this giant python's body.

This giant python was so big and probably a four or five thousand-year-old spirit beast.

He would definitely be able to advance at least two more levels if he could absorb this giant python's spirit ring.

He knew he wouldn't be able to kill this giant python so easily. After all, even he sensed enormous danger coming from this giant python.

Long Yun thought for a while and decided to let it go.

This giant python was indeed a giant, and he could already feel its cold and sinister aura. Long Yun was not confident in killing him.

'If that's the case, it's best to leave. My life is much more important.' – Long Yun muttered and when he wanted to escape, he felt a chill down his back from him. 

"His"

He couldn't help but turn slightly to look at the giant python.

When he looked at the giant python, he found that the giant python was also looking at him. A pair of snake eyes were looking at him with an icy gauze.

"Run!"

Without even thinking about anything, Long Yun turned around and started running at full speed.

However, he was still a step late. Just as he started to run, a long black tail came sweeping over him with incredible speed.

"Flood Python; possession!"

Long Yun wanted to dodge this giant python attack using his speed in spirit form, but it still hit him in the shoulder.

Ka-cha! (Sound of bones breaking)

"Ahhh!!"

A bone-breaking sound echoed throughout Sunset Forest, followed by a blood-curdling scream.

Long Yun was sent flying after the giant python's tail hit him on his shoulder. His shoulder bone was instantly broken from this attack.

Long Yun screamed in pain.

At this point, he remembered that this appeared to be a very similar scene to what happened when he encountered the Green Flame Python two years ago.

"Damn! It's actually a five thousand-year-old spirit beast. How can my luck be so good even though it's so bad." Long Yun cursed loudly.

He didn't think anything about the growing pain, so he immediately got up and started running again.

But the giant python suddenly appeared in front of him. It opened its bloody mouth and then attacked Long Yun.

"Shit!"

Long Yun couldn't help but scream loudly and immediately 

He summoned his Nine Suns Sword and cut the giant python's great mouth, but still in the next moment he appeared in a dark place, only lit by the glow of his sword.

"Ugh! Smelling is so dirty."

Long Yun knew that he was swallowed alive by the giant python, and he was currently inside her big belly. His stomach contracted sharply as the retching surged in his throat.

splat!

Suddenly he heard another sound of something falling.

When he lifted his head to look up, he saw a flash of light, but then something had half covered that light and was descending at high speed.

"Screw this!"

Long Yun hurriedly jumped up and moved to the side. That 'something' fell heavily and some kind of liquid splashed everywhere.

Long Yun increased the power of the Fire of the Nine Suns in his hand and saw that it was actually the corpse of that black wolf.

"Am I going to die here?" Long Yun thought and felt himself suffocating inside.

"No, I can't die here. Let me see what you'll do if I start burning you inside with my Solar Fire." Long Yun yelled.

However, just as he was about to spread the Fire of the Nine Suns inside the giant snake's belly, his gauze fell again on the black wolf's corpse.

"Humph! Wait a minute. After I devour that black wolf, it's your turn." Long Yun snorted and walked towards the Black Wolf's corpse. Even though he appeared to be acting tough, in reality, he was also filled with fear inside.

"Devour!"

From Long Yun's direct arm, two sharp claws penetrated deep into the black wolf's grotesque corpse.

That's right, this was a fifty thousand-year-old spirit bone he got when he stopped the thieves attacking the auction hall.

It had a special ability to devour spiritual power, but it had one major drawback. Her spiritual power would be out of control for three days before calming down. At this time, he couldn't use his spiritual power from his for anything.

Luckily he had a way of dealing with it for a while.

The spirit energy immediately began to run throughout his body, and eventually part was stored in his dantian and the other part in his spirit bone.

Moments later, his Dantian began to overflow with spiritual energy. He immediately channeled the spirit energy into the barrier preventing him from leveling up.

Ka-cha!

Not long after, the sound of something breaking echoed inside her body.

40th level...

"I finally reached 40th Level, and became a spiritual elder." Long Yun smiled excitedly, and just as he wanted to move his hand in the air, he felt pain in his shoulder.

Just at this moment, he remembered that he had broken his shoulder.

Long Yun immediately tapped his space ring, and withdrew two leaves of Holy Life to recover from his wounds faster.

So he sat there and began to circulate his spiritual energy to channel the medicinal energy of the two leaves of Sacred life into his body.

The wound in his shoulder began to heal at an unimaginable speed. It was the first time that Long Yun had swallowed two leaves of Sacred Life at once. Now he didn't even have five leaves left.

He immediately felt the changes in his body.

Not just the external wound, but his broken bone also started to connect again. Not long after, he felt his body condition return to its peak.

Seeing that he was back to his peak condition, Long Yun stood up and prepared to wreak some internal havoc on this giant python's body.

Long Yun brought both hands holding the sword in front of him and then ignited the Fire of the Nine Suns. Then, with each swing of the sword, he immediately began to spread the Fire of the Nine Suns inside the giant python's body. 

Even though the inside of the giant python was all wet and something sticky was covering almost all of its organs, it still couldn't save its organs from being burned by the mighty fire of the Nine Suns.

"Roar!"

The giant python roared loudly and began to howl here and there on the ground as if it wanted relief, but the burning sensation it felt inside its body grew stronger and stronger.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

He roared loudly with anger and unwillingness and began babbling on the floor from the pain and suffering he felt from the burning of his internal organs.

After some time, he stopped screaming in pain and took his last breath.

Inside the giant snake's stomach, Long Yun also felt relief at this moment.

Because of the giant python's struggle before its death, Long Yun was also felt flying here and there continuously inside the giant python's stomach.

Now that it finally stopped, Long Yun was also able to stand up.

When Long Yun looked at himself, he couldn't help but want to throw up. His entire body was now covered with sticky substances and a very bad stench was coming out of him.

There was Fire of the Nine Suns still burning inside the Giant Python.

Long Yun looked around and saw that the entire inside of the giant python was now charred. But no deep hole was made from the inside out.

Seeing this, Long Yun regained the Fire of the Nine Suns and then opened the giant python's stomach with his sword and finally left. As the giant python's body was no longer protected by its spirit energy, it was very easy to leave.

As soon as Long Yun was out of the Giant Python disgusting body, he saw the purple spirit ring appear once more.

But unlike the first, its glow was much greater, and its pressure much more terrifying. There was simply no comparison between the two.

Suddenly, a glowing object can be seen floating out of the Giant Python's body. 

"Spiritual Bone!"
