First Spirit Ability

Seeing Old Jack shaking him, Jiang Chen was at a loss at first, but he soon remembered that he was absorbing his Spirit Ring before falling unconscious.

"Hey, grandpa, did you fart? It smells so bad!" Jiang Chen covered his nose with disgust.

Old Jack blew his beard and said angrily: "You farted! Tell me, did you fall into the pit latrine last night? Why did you come back and sleep without washing yourself? Do you want Grandpa to wash your quilt for you?"

Facing Old Jack's scolding, Jiang Chen held back a smirk, "Grandpa, go away, I have to take a bath and I will wash the quilt later, you do not need to worry about it."

Old Jack shook his head walked out with his cane. Midway, he turned back:

"I am going to the next Village to help you obtain a work-study students quota. Remember to cook before I return."

"I know, you go ahead." Jiang Chen urged.

Squinting his eyes at Jiang Chen, Old Jack wondered what his plan was and why he wanted him to leave so urgently, finally, Old Jack shook his head and walked out.

As soon as Old Jack left, Jiang Chen jumped out of the bed excitedly, but looking at the layers of impurities, filth, dried blood and sweat on his body, he wrinkled his brows slightly.

The smell was indescribable, it was 100 times worse than the smell of the pit latrine. If Jiang Chen was not on an empty stomach, he might have vomited many times by now.

The layers of impurities and filth on him stuck to him like mud, they were smelly and left him uncomfortable and a little itchy.

Although he wanted to see his First Spirit Ability, he put that aside and went to wash first.

He walked out with his quilt in his arms, took the soap and other items needed for bathing and washing, and left the yard, he was going to wash in the river.

He lives in the centre of the Holy Spirit Village, so as soon as he emerged from his house, his stench enveloped the area. It was made worse by the frequent winds, the winds carried his stench to all of Holy Spirit Village.

"Damn, did someone's latrine hut explode? What is that stench?"

(T/N: A Pit Latrine is a primitive toilet that is essentially a hole in the ground that people urinate and defecate into. Its stench is comparable to falling into the dirtiest sewer in the world.)

"Which son of a bitch came to poison our Village? He better watch out and makes sure I do not find him or I will give him a good clean!"

"Daddy! I want some porridge! Vomit~ What is this smell! Vomit~!"

Jiang Chen hugged the quilt tighter, his little face had turned a deep red, he was embarrassed listening to the various curses from the Villagers.

He lowered his head, his body was almost completely covered by the bedding, he quickly ran out of the Village.

"It turned out to be Jiang Chen! My goodness! Did he really fall into the latrine?"

"Uh...it seems to be true, look at him, those dark clumps that are clinging to him, are those? Vomit~ No, I cannot take it anymore! Vomit~."

He was found!

Jiang Chen's face became an even darker shade of red, he began sprinting and could not wait to leave the Village and get into the river!

Thinking of his successful future, he knows that this incident will be the black spot in his life! He hopes they will forget it and no one will find out!

What happened? Tang San stared at Jiang Chen who was running away with the quilt in amazement, listening to the comments of the Villagers, he also looked strange.

...

An hour later, Jiang Chen had finally finished washing his body and scrubbed the quilt clean. However, the previously clean river was dyed black and densely packed schools of fish were floating at the surface of the river, all signs of life disappeared from them.

What a waste.

It is a pity, but he does not care much about polluting the river and killing schools of fish, he will just go up to the mountains and wash in the streams there.

When he thought of his Spirit Ability, he got excited, he hung the quilt on the branch beside him, did not even put on any clothes and immediately began to try his Spirit Ability.

From the time he woke up, he had learned the information of his First Spirit Ability.

He summoned his Vampire Spirit, a Purple Spirit Ring rose from his feet, rotating gently around his body.

"It really is a Purple Spirit Ring, a 1000-year Spirit Ring!" Jiang Chen was overjoyed.

According to Yu Xiaogang's theory, the First Spirit Ring of a Spirit Master has a limit of 423 years. Before Jiang Chen absorbed the God Bestowed Spirit Ring, he had aimed to break through the limit, but he had not expected to surpass the limit by several times!

This was something he had not expected. Without any external aid and completely relying on his Martial Spirit and physical fitness, he was successfully able to absorb a 1000 Year Spirit Ring!

Had it not been for the threat of the Heavenly Tribulation smiting him, he might not have persisted and persevered enough to upgrade his Spirit Ring to 1000 years.

After all, a Heavenly Tribulation is a deadly catastrophe, how can he not do his best and strengthen himself the most he can?

He smiled satisfied and activated his First Spirit Ability.

A layer of pitch-black appeared on his body, it rapidly covered his whole body like a liquid, and then condensed, forming a mighty and domineering armour on his body.

(T/N: I am imagining Venom or a symbiote here, what are you imagining this layer of pitch-black thing to be like?)

The armour was black and translucent, his elbows, knees and shoulders had black thick prismatic spikes emerging from them, his spine was lined with spikes akin to bone spurs, making him look extraordinarily hideous and dangerous.

He tapped his armour, it felt like a bone to the touch but sounded like metal.

With his thoughts, the helmet can cover his facial features, or leave them visible.

After walking to the riverside and admiring himself in the water for a few minutes, he nodded in satisfaction, his mouth wide open.

If he wanted to describe this armour in one word, it is: handsome!

In addition to satisfying his aesthetics, the effect of the armour surprised him even more.

This Spirit Ability is called Vampire God Armor, and its main effect is defence. After he possesses the God Armor, his body's defensive power is increased by 150%, that is, by 1.5 folds.

Not only that, but his Vampire God Armor also strengthens his other attributes, but to a lesser degree compared to his defence.

Both his strength and agility has doubled at the same time, so although it is a little less increase compared to his defence, the amplification to those attributes is still a very impressive figure.

His 1000-year Spirit Ring can only be absorbed by the general Rank 30 Spirit Elder, the best Spirit Abilities that they can obtain only double a single attribute though.

Compared with the Third Spirit Abilities of other Spirit Elders, the amplification effect of Jiang Chen's First Spirit Ability make it heaven-defying.

Moreover, his strength, speed and defence were already very abnormal, so the Vampire God Armour's enhancement had resulted in his combat power increasing to a terrifying height.

He estimates that after activating this Ability, even if he merely stands there, Spirit Masters of the same Rank as him will find it impossible to break through his defence.

"I really did obtain a defensive Spirit Ability!" Jiang Chen inwardly mused, he had anticipated that he will obtain a defensive Spirit Ability from his God Bestowed Spirit Ring, but he was still amazed when he did obtain it. It seemed the God Bestowed Spirit Ring giving the user the Spirit Ability they need most is true.

But this Spirit Ability also has some shortcomings, it cannot last long and consumes a lot of Spirit Power.

The Ability can only be maintained for half an hour, just activating the Spirit Ability consumed a third of his Spirit Power.

After half an hour, the Ability will automatically deactivate, if he wants to activate it again, he must consume his Spirit Power to activate it again.

Unless Jiang Chen does not consume much Spirit Power when fighting, this Ability cannot be released for a second time.

However, compared to the advantages of the Spirit Ability, these shortcomings have been omitted by Jiang Chen.

In half an hour, any battle can be resolved, only when he encounters a monster with lots of trump cards like Tang San he might face a little difficulty, but it will not be something he cannot deal with.

He knocked on his armour a few more times, causing a clanging sound to ring.

"This armour sounds like metal, is it lightning-proof though?" Jiang Chen was a little sceptical.

"But it should be, otherwise, why would I obtain such an Ability?" He reassured himself.

But no matter whether he could or not, he would have to cross this Heavenly Tribulation, he only had 3 days to prepare and must make the most of it.
