A sharp insect cry rang out and the Red Fire Scorpion was instantly suppressed for 600 years and its body almost fell over, which made it extremely restless and irritated.
"What's going on? The Red Fire Scorpion's aura has lowered so much all of a sudden? It feels similar to a 400-year-old spirit beast!"
Flender was stunned.
Master smiled without saying anything but in his heart, he was also shocked. It seemed that his estimate of 500 years wasn't the limit of Tang Jiu's endurance, it should be at least 600 years!
Tang Jiu felt that the Red Fire Scorpion was struggling, trying to break free from the spirit ring martial spirit, it would break free within a minute or two, he had to finish him quickly!
Tang Jiu waved his war hammer and smashed it down towards the Scorpion's head. The Red Fire Scorpion then waved its pincers, it could remember that it had just knocked Tang Jiu away with one pincer but when the pincers hit Tang Jiu's war hammer it felt lifted off by a strong force.
Bang, bang, bang!
The Red Fire Scorpion rolled on the ground, raising countless grains of sand but managed to stabilise itself with great difficulty. Its whole body slightly bent down, its tail stinger raised high, fire-red energy flowing through its whole body, finally converging on its tail, a scorching hot flame shot out towards Tang Jiu.
Tang Jiu had long been on guard against the tail stinger and once he saw this flame jet skill, he hurriedly ran in a circle around the Red Fire Scorpion. The Red Fire Scorpion's flame, with the rotation of its tail stinger, ended with a scorched circle on the sand grains.
But it didn't last long before the Scorpion's flame stopped, like a flamethrower without gas.
"Impossible? The spirit power of the Thousand-Year Red Fire Scorpion would take at least twice as long to deplete at this intensity of flame release!"
Flender's mouth was wide open with an unbelievable expression. It felt like the heavens were helping Tang Jiu, he now kind of wondered if this Red Fire Scorpion had caught a cold!
"Just wait until you pay up!" The master grunted.
"Even without the flames, its strength and armour's defence is still there." Flender bristled, still with a calm face.
When Tang Jiu saw that the Red Fire Scorpion has stopped, he immediately swung his war hammer towards it but the Scorpion was obviously not stupid either, after being smashed away just now, it obviously felt threatened, so it stopped fighting Tang Jiu head-on and instead raised its tail stinger towards him and stabbed it fiercely.
The tail stinger was poisonous and with a single sting, it could instantly render Tang Jiu incapable of fighting.
Fortunately, the Red Fire Scorpion's attributes were suppressed, and its attacking movements were stiff and sluggish at this moment, which allowed Tang Jiu to easily dodge the continuous stabs from the tail stinger.
"No! We have to get rid of this tail stinger first!"
Tang Jiu knew that he couldn't keep up with the Red Fire Scorpion like this, so when the Red Fire Scorpion stabbed him again, Tang Jiu clutched the tail stinger part with one hand and then flung the Red Fire Scorpion up like a meteor hammer and dropped it wildly on the ground.
Bang, bang, bang!
Sand and stones flew as the Red Fire Scorpion tried to turn back and attack Tang Jiu with its pincers. It tried several times without success.
Tang Jiu saw an opening and stepped on the tail stinger, then swung his hammer towards the middle section of the scorpion's tail with all his might, with a click, the slender scorpion's tail was broken from the middle, shrugging like a broken branch, and with a tug and pull, Tang Jiu directly ripped off that section.
Scarlet blood spurted out . The Red Fire Scorpion hissed madly, its big pincers actually digging frantically into the sand, trying to bury its body into the grains of sand.
"Give up now!"
Tang Jiu was not afraid of the Red Fire Scorpion without its tail stinger, it had lost its ability to threaten him. Tang Jiu directly dragged it out by the tail.
Swinging the Red Fire Scorpion towards the hammer handle, he rammed it hard, and with a poof, the hammer handle dug through the Red Fire Scorpion's abdomen like a needle.
"Breaking the defence like that, what a whimsical idea! It perfectly avoids the Red Fire Scorpion's hard armour!" Master's eyes lit up, the hammer handle was no less than a lance under the huge force of the collision, although it was not yet able to penetrate the armour, it was more than enough to penetrate the relatively soft abdomen.
At this moment, the Red Fire Scorpion, with its tail stinger plucked and abdomen stabbed through with a massive loss of blood, was already dying and under the suppression of its spirit ring martial spirit it could no longer even lift its pincers, growing weaker and weaker, not even having the strength to explode itself.
"This, this is a win?" Flender's mouth was wide open and his eyes were lost in thought, not only was he amazed at Tang Jiu's strength but he was also distressed at his one thousand gold coins.
"How is this possible! Xiao Gang, this Red Fire Scorpion must be a hundred-year spirit beast, right? You're joining forces with the students to trap me!" Flender definitely didn't believe that a thousand-year spirit beast was being pressured by Tang Jiu who had no spirit ring at level nineteen!
The Master didn't reply, but looked at Tang Jiu because it was about Tang Jiu's secret!
Tang Jiu smiled valiantly, his martial spirit wasn't like Third Brother, who cultivated one to hide the other.
Since he had decided to cultivate both, then with the frequent use of his martial spirit, it would always be guessed out, he didn't even think of deliberately hiding it, because it simply couldn't be hidden!
Then he turned to Flender and said, "This is the Thousand Year spirit Beast! As for why is he s weak, his cultivation has been suppressed by my martial spirit!"
"Martial spirit suppressing? Your bullet ant martial spirit is strange, but it definitely won't have this effect! Even if you count dragon-type martial spirits, they wouldn't have such a powerful suppressing effect on spirit beasts!" Flender shook his head.
"It's not really a big deal as I have twin martial spirit and my other martial spirit is just a spirit ring! It's not even a big deal, who asked us both brothers to be so talented!" Tang Jiu said very modestly.
When Tang San heard this Tang Jiu, he could only secretly give a thumbs up, Tang Jiu's bragging ability was definitely higher than his talent!
What do you mean it's just a martial spirit!
Tang San felt a sting in his heart, for a moment he really wanted to give Tang Jiu a punch to shut him up.
"What? Twin martial spirit! A martial spirit that is a spirit ring? How can a spirit ring be a martial spirit!" Flender thought this was a fantasy novel of some sort.
He could accept anything for a martial spirit, just not a martial spirit that was a spirit ring, because it couldn't be!
"If my martial spirit isn't a spirit ring, how can I suppress the cultivation level of a spirit beast?" Tang Jiu smiled as he placed his martial spirit over himself, and a yellow spirit ring instantly appeared.
"Look, one more ring when you put it on yourself, one less ring when you throw it at your enemy, this spirit ring martial spirit can not only limit the cultivation of spirit beasts, but most importantly, it can limit spirit masters' spirit rings and spirit techniques, as well as spirit power!"
Gulp.
Flender swallowed hard, his eyes staring dead on Tang Jiu's yellow spirit ring as he muttered, "Really, it's really a spirit ring martial spirit! I've seen a lot today."
"Could it be that this is the secret of your zero ring breakthrough to level 19?"
"Not bad! This little ability is actually nothing, it's just a basic function!" Tang Jiu said with carelessness.
Basic function! It's still just that!
When Flender looked at Tang Jiu's deceitful look, he really wanted to choke him and yell wildly: do you know how much of a monster you are? Don't show off so blatantly! (T/N: Choke me harder...)
At this moment, Flender had the urge to strangle Tang Jiu. (T/N: BSDM… Oh yeah...)
Seeing Flender's devastated look, Tang Jiu was overjoyed, showing off in front of the spirit saint was simply too good.
Flender turned to see the Grandmaster stabbing his dagger into the Red Fire Scorpion's eye then stirred the Red Fire Scorpion's brain with force and a purple spirit ring floated out from the Red Fire Scorpion's corpse.
And the Grandmaster actually sat down on the ground and absorbed the spirit ring.
"Xiao Gang, it's useless for you to do that." Flender voiced out a reminder.
"Flender, I'll let you open your eyes today!" The Grandmaster smiled confidently and drank, "Little Jiu, do you thing!"
"Here I come, Teacher!"
With a wave of Tang Jiu's hand, the yellow spirit ring on his body disappeared then as if something had been placed on the Master's body, his spirit power rapidly decreased. From the two yellow spirit rings on his body, the second one simply disappeared!
"He really has one less ring!"
Flender rubbed his eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, hearing and seeing were two different things!
Then, he saw the most unthinkable scene, the purple spirit ring, which Master was unable to absorb till now instantly entered the Grandmaster's body.
"This, this simply defies common sense! He's obviously less than level thirty but he can directly absorb the third spirit ring!" Flender was stunned not only was he shocked at the spirit ring martial spirit, he was even more shocked at the Grandmaster who had thought of this, how a deep understanding of martial spirits was this to come up with such an idea of seizing the creation of heaven and earth!
Yes, it could only be described as seizing the creation of heaven and earth!
"Teacher, hurry up!"
Tang Jiu wasn't feeling well at the moment, the continuous battle had caused him to lose too much spirit power, and it was a drain on him to limit the Master's spirit ring.
But he couldn't stop, the moment he stopped, the Grandmaster might encounter unpredictable dangers, who knew if the spirit ring that had been inhaled into his body would be rejected by his body again and he would explode and die.
Time passed by, the master struggled to absorb the thousand-year spirit ring, while Tang Jiu was also bracing himself, his spirit power was now greatly depleted, fortunately, he had thousand-year-old spirit beast dried meat otherwise he might have been exhausted long ago.
When his body reached the limit of exhaustion, the dried meat quickly turned into energy to nourish his body, allowing his body to hit the limit again and again!
Slowly, the replenishment and consumption of energy in Tang Jiu's body levelled off, forming a delicate balance as the warm energy continued to widen his body's meridians, allowing him to accommodate more spirit power and explode with even greater strength!
After a long time.
The Grand Master suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice, "Little Jiu, It's done!"
When Tang Jiu heard this, his expression instantly turned happy, it seemed that the Grandmaster had finished absorbing it. He then withdrew his spirit ring martial spirit and looked at the Grandmaster with a look of anticipation and nervousness.
When Tang Jiu released the restrictions on the Grandmaster, he saw that the Grandmaster's body suddenly had a huge surge of spirit power as if it was going to break through the Grandmaster's flesh and blood. Grandmaster's body bulged for a while and then slowly changed back to its original form, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which calmed down the rioting spirit power.
"Xiao Gang!" Flender's face paled as he hurried to hold Grandmaster, secretly hating Grandmaster for not informing himself in advance that he was going to do this or else he would have brought a food-based spirit master to aid in his healing.
Instead, Grandmaster pushed Flender away, his face wild with joy and without even wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, he opened his arms and roared, "I've finally broken through to level 30, I've done it! Haha, ~~~ I did the impossible!"
Master laughed freely, tears flowed down his face as he laughed then he grabbed Tang Jiu's shoulders and said repeatedly, "I've taken in a good disciple, Little Jiu, do you know that? You have untied a dead knot in my heart!"
"Teacher is overpraising, I didn't really do anything, It's just that I'm a little bit more talented." Tang Jiu smiled back, the master's theory had worked!
"Xiao Gang, how many levels of spirit power do you have?" Flender asked excitedly.
"After absorbing the thousand year spirit ring, I feel like my spirit power jumped from level 29, straight to level 31!" The Master's eyes were filled with joy, not only a spirit breakthrough but rather he had discovered a way to break through the bottleneck!
"A spirit ring martial spirit can be used like this? That's just cheating!" Flender also instantly thought of such a terrible operation as breaking through a bottleneck, which wasn't obvious at lower levels, but what about at higher levels?
What about a spirit Douluo breaking through to a Titled Douluo?
Or, the Titled Douluo breaking through to level 99 .....
"That's why it's called seizing the creation of heaven and earth! Little Jiu's martial spirit is definitely the strongest bar none!" The Master's tone was unusually certain.
Tang Jiu said joyfully, "I think that this is just a basic function of a spirit ring martial spirit, it's not worth making a fuss about."
The corners of Flender's mouth twitched again, why did he want to punch Tang Jiu so badly when he heard him speak! As soon as he pushed Tang Jiu away, he turned to Grandmaster and said, "Quickly let me see your spirit ring spirit Technique!"
The Grandmaster then possessed his martial spirit and summoned Luo San Pao, which at this moment had a slight change in appearance, on its body, there was an additional fire-red mark.
And three spirit rings appeared on the Master's body, yellow, yellow, purple!
"A thousand-year spirit ring! Xiao Gang, I'm so happy for you!" Flender's face was wildly happy and an extra spirit ring for Grandmaster was a qualitative leap for the Golden Iron Triangle combination.
A Trinity martial spirit Fusion technique would shock the world.
"Quick, unleash your spirit technique and let me see!" Flender urged.
"Alright, fart like flame, burn the river and boil the sea, Luo San Pao!"
Luo San Pao leapt up high and then farted out a blast of scorching flame, instantly forming a sea of fire, surprisingly another ranged attack skill!
"Great! Then in the future, won't our martial spirit fusion technique, Golden Saint Dragon, be able to spit fire, that's would make it a real dragon!" Flender's eyes were glowing, with Master's spirit progressing once again, he was confident that he could even take on the Titled Douluo!
"Let's take a break and head back! This one was really rewarding!" Flender laughed loudly.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Tang Jiu reminded kindly.
"Forgetting what?" Flender played dumb.
"Money, one thousand gold coins! Give it quickly." Tang Jiu reached out and asked for it.
"Little kid, what do you need that much money for? I'll hold on to it for you first!"
"Flender, you're really out of your depth, you owe money to a child!" The master grunted.
"I really don't have any money!" Flender turned out the pockets on his body straight away and said, "If you can find a gold coin, count me out!"
"Is this how you become a headmaster? Do you still want to take in students?"
The moment the master reminded him, Flender immediately woke up, yes, Tang Jiu was so gifted, it would be a huge loss if he wasn't recruited into Shrek Academy!
Flender then said, "Little Jiu, this way! When you reach level 20, I'll give you the money, not only will I give you a thousand gold coins but I'll also give you an extra ten gold coins as a gift!"
"Is that so?" The corner of Tang Jiu's mouth curled up into a teasing smile and said, "I'm going to break through to level 20 very soon."
"How soon would it be!" Flender had a disbelieving look on his face, level 19 to level 20 is no joke.
What's the countdown for?" Flender was unsure, and then his pupils suddenly shrank, "Could it be that ....."
"0! It's now, sorry, I just broke through to level 20, pay up!" Tang Jiu smiled, constantly fighting, his body once again break through the limit.
"...." Flender was so close to choking himself to death.
