111: Chapter 111 War Begins! You cowardly rat, Haotian!
Primordial War Bow, the System no longer has the word 'prototype', nor are there any bracketed notes!
The Spirit was complete, but Su Ling's absorption of the spirit ring was not yet over!
It was just the Fusion of different energies into the Spirit to complete the transformation!
The spirit ring absorption continued, and this time, the speed was much faster!
It only took two days for the spirit ring to be completely fused! Su Ling also successfully advanced to a Spirit Saint! Rank 72 Soul Power!
The Soul Power didn't increase too much; perhaps a portion was consumed when it merged with the Spirit!
Let's look at the character panel in the System space!

Domain: Primary Hunyuan Domain
This System panel update wasn't just about the Spirit being perfected and the addition of a spirit ring.
The success of the Primordial War Bow gave Su Ling the Primary Hunyuan Domain.
Although it was only at the primary level, it was still a Domain. Its effect, when combined with the Primordial War Bow, was a perfect match. Even without using the Spirit, it was quite useful in close combat.
Su Ling slowly opened his eyes. A cold glint flashed through his pupils before disappearing in an instant, returning to normal!
"Brother Su, you finally succeeded! But why did it take so long to absorb this spirit ring?" Xiao Wu asked with a puzzled look!
Liu Erlong said, "The spirit ring Su Ling fused with this time is no small matter. It's normal for it to take a little longer. The harvest must be great, right!"
Su Ling nodded and said, "There were some gains. My Soul Power has already increased to Rank 72!"
"Only Rank 72?"
"The increase in Soul Power isn't much, and for such a special and powerful Spirit Beast, it didn't even drop a Spirit Bone!" Liu Erlong shook her head, very dissatisfied with this result.
After all, everyone had gone to such great lengths, and Su Ling's gains didn't seem like much. It would have been better to find a Spirit Beast with a higher age for a spirit ring.
From Liu Erlong's perspective, the spirit ring of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger seemed just average!
Only Su Ling knew how much the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring helped him!
Even a 100,000-year Spirit Beast spirit ring might not compare to it!
After obtaining this spirit ring and perfecting his Spirit, Su Ling could finally start sparing no effort to increase his Soul Power.
In this Douluo World, whether it was creating his own Spirit Ability or accumulating treasure chests to open good things, the most important thing was to survive first.
With the early groundwork laid, Su Ling's Spirit had taken shape. If there was room for evolution in the future, he might need to rely on the System.
Currently, there was still a top-tier Spirit on the System that could be added.
According to the System, he could add a Spirit suitable for himself.
Looking at Su Ling's current Soul Power, although it was only Rank 72 and not yet at the Titled Douluo level, given his physical condition, absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring was more than enough.
Therefore, Su Ling already had a plan in mind. He could use the spirit rings bestowed by the System to increase his Soul Power, and in a short time, he could reach Rank 80, or even Rank 90 and above.
However, now was not the time to add a spirit ring. The three of them followed the Sky Azure Bull Python toward the Lake of Life.
On the way, Su Ling was just planning his next cultivation step.
About two hours later, as the three were traveling, they heard a loud boom. The direction from which the sound came was none other than the Lake of Life.
"I'll go first. Er Ming might be in danger." Da Ming seemed to have sensed something and immediately rushed toward the Lake of Life at full speed.
Logically speaking, Da Ming and Er Ming shouldn't be in danger at this time.
After all, according to the novel's plot, it would be about four years before Bibi Dong would bring a large group of people to launch a Spirit-hunting operation.
Could it be that because of him, the Spirit-hunting operation had been brought forward?
Or perhaps they just discovered the Titan Giant Ape was left alone at the Lake of Life, so they came specifically to hunt it?
If Da Ming and Er Ming were together, it would be difficult to hunt them, but if there was only the Titan Giant Ape, the difficulty of hunting would be much lower.
"Brother Su, hurry and save Er Ming." Xiao Wu said.
Su Ling unfolded a pair of wings behind his back and said, "I'll go check it out first. You guys follow carefully."
Wanting to see the situation first, Su Ling flew over at high speed, with Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu following closely behind.
At this moment, at the Lake of Life, the battle was extremely intense.
There weren't many people around the Titan Giant Ape, only five.
Among them, two were Titled Douluo, and the other three were 8-ring Spirit Douluo.
Three of them looked somewhat elderly; two of them appeared to be at least over seventy, one looked to be in his early sixties, and the other two looked to be in their forties or fifties.
The five people had the same Spirit, and they were all holding a hammer.
"Seventh Elder, you're really lucky. This is a 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape. Once you have its spirit ring, your strength will Rank at the top of our Five Elders."
"That's right, I'm envious too. Unfortunately, I obtained my ninth spirit ring the year before last in the Sunset Forest, and it wasn't even 80,000 years old. Had I known, I would have come to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Fifth Elder, 6th Elder, this is just luck. However, this Titan Giant Ape is indeed hard to kill. To think it can still stand after being beaten like this."
"Congratulations, Seventh Elder. With this spirit ring, surpassing Tang Hao is not impossible."
"That is certain!"
"Attack!"
Roar...
The Titan Giant Ape stood up, pounded the ground with both hands, and roared.
Its Gravity Control Domain was activated again.
"Gravity Control?"
"That's useless against us."
In the next instant, the five people retreated and released their Martial Soul Avatar together.
The five turned into giants seven or eight meters tall, and the hammers in their hands also grew several times larger.
"Everyone control it. Let the Seventh Elder deliver the final blow."
Boom...
A giant hammer fell from the sky, directly striking the Domain released by the Titan Giant Ape. Immediately after, another hammer fell.
The powerful attack shattered the Titan Giant Ape's Domain.
"It's my turn!"
The old man known as the Seventh Elder saw his hammer falling toward the Titan Giant Ape, and the Titan Giant Ape could only passively defend at this moment.
"Damn humans, stop!"
At the critical moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python finally arrived. It spat out an energy blast that struck the giant hammer directly.
"To think there's another 100,000-year Spirit Beast."
"Great, even if we don't get the spirit ring, getting the Spirit Bone is good too."
Although the previous attack had been interrupted, the five were even more excited.
At this moment, Su Ling also arrived at the edge of the Lake of Life and clearly saw their Spirits.
Clear Sky Hammer!
It wasn't Bibi Dong; it was people from the Clear Sky Sect. They had actually come to hunt the Titan Giant Ape.
Could it be those Elders?
According to the plot in his memories, in the twenty years the Clear Sky Sect had been in seclusion, all Five Elders had successfully advanced to Titled Douluo.
Although they were in seclusion, they didn't stay inside the Sect completely.
When they needed spirit rings, they would still come out to hunt Spirit Beasts.
Low-level Spirit Beasts could be raised for the Sect's low-level Spirit Masters to use, but high-level Spirit Beasts couldn't be handled that way.
"Five members of the Clear Sky Sect, very good!"
Su Ling's Spirit had just evolved, and he wanted to test the power of his arrows.
Hiding not far away, the five Clear Sky Sect members were all focused on the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. None of them noticed when Su Ling released his Spirit.
Releasing his Spirit, he felt the true Primordial War Bow.
Its weight had increased significantly. In Su Ling's hands, it felt like about 500 jin. If someone else were to hold his Spirit, the weight shouldn't be less than 5,000 jin.
So, the new Spirit could not only be used for long-range attacks but also for smashing people in close quarters.
Feeling the bowstring, the force required to pull it had increased by at least more than double.
The Primordial War Bow Spirit was truly difficult for ordinary people to control.
Watching the five people ahead fighting the Sky Azure Bull Python, they had a significant advantage.
If the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape joined forces, they would likely lose.
But now the Titan Giant Ape was seriously injured and couldn't provide much power in the battle.
Holding the Primordial War Bow, Su Ling was ready at all times, waiting for the right opportunity.
During the wait, Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu behind him also caught up.
"Is that... a Clear Sky Hammer?" Xiao Wu recognized it immediately; after all, Tang San had used this Spirit to Cultivate.
"That's right, it's the Clear Sky Hammer. Two Titled Douluo, three Spirit Douluo."
Speaking of this, the Battle Intent in Liu Erlong's heart suddenly ignited.
Merging into Su Ling's body was fine, but she felt it wasn't as satisfying as fighting herself.
Since her Spirit evolved and her Soul Power reached Rank 83, she hadn't had a full-force battle.
During this time, she had sparred with Flender and Zhao Wuji.
Back when she was a Spirit Saint, she could still fight them, but once they both reached Spirit Douluo, the two of them weren't enough to challenge her.
Liu Erlong pursed her lips and said, "Su Ling, let me make a move this time too."
"As you wish. After my attack, get ready to move," Su Ling said. He would satisfy Liu Erlong's request.
As for Xiao Wu, she stood aside without speaking.
She knew she couldn't intervene in this kind of battle at all.
Looking at the people ahead, Su Ling thought to himself, "The true Primordial War Bow, first battle."
He condensed arrows; five arrows in total, shooting at the five people simultaneously.
Swish...
The arrows whistled out, directly facing the five Clear Sky Sect members.
Their Soul Power was not weak, and after Su Ling's arrows were fired, one of them noticed.
"Someone is attacking!"
The five of them swung their Clear Sky Hammers to defend.
The Clear Sky Hammers of the two Titled Douluo smashed down, colliding head-on with Su Ling's arrows and causing an explosion.
The five of them made the same motion, but one of the Spirit Douluo didn't calculate the position correctly, and his Clear Sky Hammer missed Su Ling's arrow.
Then, the arrow pierced through his body.
"Tang Yu..."
There was another Spirit Douluo whose Clear Sky Hammer was knocked out of his hand when it collided with Su Ling's arrow.
Only the two Titled Douluo and the one Rank 90 Spirit Douluo held onto their Clear Sky Hammers without losing them.
At this moment, Su Ling also felt the power of the Primordial War Bow.
That arrow was just a single shot condensed with his current Soul Power without adding rotation, but this blow actually killed a Spirit Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect in seconds.
Of course, this also had to do with Su Ling's sneak attack.
However, it also showed that the power of the Primordial War Bow had exceeded what it was before.
"The number one Tool Spirit under the heavens should change owners," Su Ling said in a low voice.
Su Ling and Liu Erlong walked out together.
The four Clear Sky Sect members quickly gathered together. The oldest old man said, "We are all human Spirit Masters; we should hunt the Spirit Beast first. Why are you sneaking an attack on us?"
One of his own had died, yet he was still able to chat with Su Ling so calmly.
He really knew how to take things in stride and could make decisions based on the current situation.
Su Ling said, "Sorry, I am friends with them, and you are enemies."
"I am the Fifth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect. Are you sure you want to be enemies with my Clear Sky Sect?" the Fifth Elder said.
At this moment, Su Ling laughed.
"Are you stupid? I've already killed one of your people; do you think you can still make peace with me?"
"Truly Clear Sky scum. I remember my Family fought and died for you back then; I really feel it wasn't worth it for them."
While speaking, Su Ling teleported to the Titan Giant Ape.
Su Ling frowned and said, "Er Ming, how did you get hurt so badly by them! With your abilities, that shouldn't have happened, right?"
It wasn't that Su Ling looked down on the Titan Giant Ape, but for it to be beaten like this, it really shouldn't have happened.
The Sky Azure Bull Python said, "Su Ling, this isn't Er Ming's fault. It was injured in the battle with the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, which is why it came back first."
"I see!" Su Ling waved his hand, and a 10,000-year healing Spirit Ability card was used directly on the Titan Giant Ape.
He didn't have a 100,000-year healing Spirit Ability card, but he still had two 10,000-year ones.
This was very useful for the Titan Giant Ape's injuries. Under the effect of the 10,000-year healing Spirit Ability card, the external wounds on the Titan Giant Ape recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Su Ling turned back to look at the Clear Sky Sect members.
"Is your Family perhaps a vassal Family of our Clear Sky Sect from back then?" the Seventh Elder asked.
Su Ling said, "No, we are not worthy."
"Are you from the Water Moon Clan? I remember that back then, the only ones with a bow Spirit were the Water Moon Clan."
"You still have one clansman in my Clear Sky Sect. I remember it seems to be the daughter-in-law of the Third Elder," the 6th Elder said.
Su Ling chuckled and said, "Is that so? Then shouldn't I thank you for your special care?"
Su Ling's previous attack was truly extraordinary. Although a Spirit Douluo from the Sect had died, they still wanted to join forces with Su Ling in the face of these two Spirit Beasts.
Or rather, they didn't want to be enemies with Su Ling for the time being.
"Thanks are not needed. I hope you don't make the wrong decision," the Fifth Elder said.
"Is that so? Since it's already the wrong decision, then let's just keep making it."
"Attack!"
Su Ling raised the Primordial War Bow and condensed an arrow again.
Unknowingly, Su Ling had become the backbone; even the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python listened to Su Ling's orders.
Roar...
At this time, the Titan Giant Ape's body had recovered somewhat, its anger ignited, and it surrounded them with the Sky Azure Bull Python.
"Leave one for me." Liu Erlong completed her Spirit possession, her eight spirit rings shining.
"Get ready to run; this battle is unfavorable for us," the Fifth Elder said.
"That's right, Seventh Elder, your ninth spirit ring can only be discussed later," the 6th Elder also said.
But this Seventh Elder was originally hot-tempered. Could a 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone that was already within reach just be lost like this?
"No, we can't leave yet! We still have a chance. Even if we don't get the spirit ring, we must avenge Tang Yu first."
After speaking, the Seventh Elder raised his Clear Sky Hammer and charged straight at Su Ling.
Just as Su Ling's arrow was about to be fired, Liu Erlong rushed past him.
"Su Ling, let me handle this guy," Liu Erlong said.
Liu Erlong really wanted to fight; her hands were itching, and she just wanted to have a good fight.
So Su Ling simply let her go fight this Clear Sky Sect Seventh Elder.
If he remembered correctly, this guy was called the Blazing Sun Douluo after becoming a Titled Douluo.
But this time, he might never be able to become a Titled Douluo!
