Chapter 17 - SPIRIT RINGS HUNTING AND SECOND SOUL SKILLS

After lunch, Both brothers again went back to Magical space, but it was only them this time as Tang Hao will bring stronger beasts. Xiao Wu said she was fine to wait outside but Tang Chen knew if she enters it will be catastrophic for them. Grandmaster also Told tang San that he had to make new training programs for him, so he will wait outside.

Tang Chen and Tang San entered magical space knowingly what skills they want. Both brothers have decided to try out 9,000-10,000-year-old beasts they were skeptical about their bodies withstanding the energy. Under the guidance of grandmaster master, Tang San became more aware and told about the qualitative jump from 9,000 to 10,000 years old. But Tang Chen told they will do like last time he will try first then if something happened to disturb his meditation. Tang Chen wasn't suicidal, but he has initiate body strength and can handle more energy than Tang San, He can first experience then tell him to go with it or to avoid it.

Both brothers went to plant beasts area to look at plant beasts with their desirable traits. As though spirit rings change color here but Combine all soul beats traits into one soul skill.

Tang Chen wanted immunity to fires and more metallic strength to its spirit as his spirit was prone to fire. While Tang San wanted to add parasitic power to its spirit which can be planted on the enemy and activated from the distance. He also knew about its weakness but the grandmaster told him spirit masters work in a team.

Tang Chen looked around for a long time but didn't found what he was looking in plant beasts, so he started to move away and going to a place where animal soul beasts mostly are found. He was looking all over, as 3 days seemed to pass. On 4th day in the afternoon, he came across a bird beasts who seemed to have transformed into 10,000 years old a few days ago as changes were looking fresh. It was beasts with scale all over its c.h.e.s.t area to its neck, having a metallic l.u.s.ter and it has a red and blue very decorative pattern. It also has a beautiful wing-like Phoenix and was red but it was heavily injured. It looks like lightning fall upon it or it was fighting the strong beast with the lightning element. It has golden claws and was injured severely. It looked more like a combination of Flood dragon and wings of Phoenix Bird. But fire and ice energy was surrounding the bird.

Both boys can also feel danger from the beasts which excited them. If any expert of douluo continent saw this they will be flabbergasted as it was an extinct beast, they were hunted because their species have the ability to surely gives external spirit bone that is their wings. And they also have ancient bloodline line like Titan ape in great dou forest. Beast seemed like it can't move around and was sitting there and vigilantly looking at boys. It seemed like whether they kill it or not it was going to die.

Both boys summon their hammer and brought their hammer intent and killing intent to their limit and jump towards the beasts while hitting hammer in the air for momentum both completed their one less than respective hits i.e. 35 for Chen and 17 for San so that they could unleash final and most powerful hit on beast. Beast seems helpless and was waiting for death, he wasn't able to use his inherent skill of contacting its scale and flesh or fly at high speed. Tang San's 18th hits fall on it's back making beast's head to touch the ground, Tang Chen look at this and smiled as his brother was as skilled as ever, it was a precise and calculated strike, he didn't waste his time and his hammer fall on its head ending its life.

Yes, the rare beast having ice-fire, poison immunity since birth and was able to contact its flesh and scale-like fortress died. It said to be one of the fastest soul beasts. The name of the beast was " Draconian Phoenix of dual elements." As to why it appeared here and was injured because it has defied gods rule about magical space as both boys can handle its 9,000-year-old self with some difficulties but 10,000 was a different matter and it faced tribulation for defying God and to have breakthrough before time. Both boys were extremely lucky to find it and killed it before it died of other causes. A black ring emerges from it. Tang Chen sat crosslegged to bring him back in top condition, it still takes a lot from him to do sovereign hammer descend. After a half-hour, he began to absorb the ring by guiding it to his blue silver ruler spirit. All was going well until a strong screeching suddenly appeared in his mind beast was putting a strong struggle but it died after some time and seemed to have merged with his spirit. The process took longer than usual it took half a day. A similar thing happened after absorbing the ring it canes as yellow but has a slight purple tint in it. Tang Chen woke up from his absorption as looks at his spirit red looking pattern seem to appear on it. Tang San was getting worried and was relieved after his brother woke up. Tang Chen went to beast was started to dissect in pieces for cooking. He didn't know about the beast and knew soul bone were rare, He was surprised when something hits while cutting beast he looked and found it was a bone but not regular six parts. He was suddenly jolted up thinking that it external soul bone. He decided to store it as well.

Tang San asked about experience and Tang Chen told him not to absorb 10,000 years old beast but can absorb more than 9,000 years. The Qualitative jump off beast was something else. Tang San agreed to it. He already saw a plant beast earlier with more than 8000 but less than 9000 years old but it fits the criteria. It was a ghost wine, they both went there and Tang San absorb its ring. Same as last time thing happened. His only was yellow and don't have a purple tint. Both brothers still jumped the ranks Tang Chen 25 and Tang San 23 but like before they had to consolidate their foundation.

They exited the magical space to find that others were waiting outside The spent 6 days there. They told them about their experience except for soul bone only Tang Chen knew about it. From the description grandmaster told them about the "Draconian Phoenix of dual elements". He told them about beasts and said the reason for its hunting was special. It seems grandmaster master also knew about bone as he knows about beasts in depth he knitted his brows and looked towards Tang Chen. He let it go and asked about their skills.

Tang Chen told him that spirit ring they get from hunting in magical space Amalgamate all beast's strength in one soul skill. Like he got the property to contract and become denser, but his spirits metallic structure improved further and also giving him and his spirit ice- fire and poison immunity. Grandmaster was shocked again. He turned to his student and asked him what are his soul skills to which he replied he can plant a seed in his opponents and can activate his skill from distance to suck their soul power while paralyzing them. And the range of his grass also increased so has its other property except poison.

Grandmaster and Tang Hao told them and Xiao Wu to cultivate in magical space as the have to discuss something. Children went to magical space to cultivate.
