21: Chapter 21 Five Elements War Bow, Su Ling's External Soul Bone

Flender flew into the air, while Zhao Wuji charged directly into the swarm of Bloodthirsty Magic Ants to unleash his ultimate ability.

His goal was to attract the attention of the Bloodthirsty Magic Ant King and let Flender find an opportunity to kill it.

With Zhao Wuji abandoning the defensive line, the century-old and millennium-old Bloodthirsty Magic Ants began charging toward Su Ling's direction.

When Xiao Wu saw the countless Bloodthirsty Magic Ants, she said in terror, "Brother, this... this is too many, how could we possibly defend against them?"

Tang San said, "Xiao Wu, do your best, and make sure to look after your own safety."

"Mm!" Xiao Wu nodded, "Brother, you too."

Dai Mubai didn't say anything, but his expression was a bit strange; it was hard to tell if it was because he saw too many Bloodthirsty Magic Ants.

Ma Hongjun, who was beside Su Ling, was trembling all over.

Oscar ran out and said, "Tang San, Xiao Wu, Brother Dai, catch these."

Three for each person; two are for recovery, and one is a Mushroom Sausage for high-speed flight. If there's an emergency, you can fly into the air; after all, these Bloodthirsty Magic Ants cannot fly.

When she returned, Ning Rongrong also consumed a Recovery Sausage and began providing Support to Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing.

Watching Su Ling as he absorbed the spirit ring, Ning Rongrong sighed inwardly, wondering if Su Ling was going to fail at absorbing a spirit ring again.

Why isn't it over yet?

"They're coming!" Zhu Zhuqing said, not saying much else.

At this moment, dozens of Bloodthirsty Magic Ants had already appeared around Su Ling, including a millennium-old one.

Ma Hongjun immediately released his Spirit Ability, Phoenix Fire Wire.

A stream of flame shot out, burning the attacking Bloodthirsty Magic Ants, but it wasn't enough.

Then he released another Phoenix Fire Wire.

His Phoenix Fire Wire was much better at dealing with these Bloodthirsty Magic Ants than Zhu Zhuqing's single-target attacks; it could inflict large-scale damage on the Bloodthirsty Magic Ants.

The only drawback was that it consumed too much Soul Power, and Ma Hongjun, being only a Spirit Grandmaster, couldn't last very long.

He could only consume the Recovery Sausages made by Oscar while fighting.

Meanwhile, over at Flender's position, Zhao Wuji had attracted the attention of most of the Bloodthirsty Magic Ants, especially the 30,000-year-old Bloodthirsty Magic Ant King.

"Good opportunity!" Flender finally seized his chance.

He dove down from the air, and while in his Martial Soul Avatar state, he unleashed his strongest offensive Spirit Ability, which was also his sixth Spirit Ability.

This Bloodthirsty Magic Ant King had been careless, or perhaps its intelligence wasn't high enough; after all, it was only 30,000 years old, and it had been completely drawn in by Zhao Wuji's attacks.

When Flender attacked, it had no defensive preparations whatsoever.

With a loud boom.

Flender's full-strength strike successfully killed the Bloodthirsty Magic Ant.

After the 30,000-year-old Bloodthirsty Magic Ant King died, its spirit ring appeared.

What is this?

Flender was surprised to find something peculiar on the corpse of the Bloodthirsty Magic Ant King; the creature had actually dropped a Spirit Bone.

"Good, very good."

He immediately put away the Spirit Bone, thinking that the Bloodthirsty Magic Ants should retreat now.

However, the Bloodthirsty Magic Ants showed no signs of retreating.

"Something is wrong; this is exactly the same as that time." Flender finally realized something was amiss.

He flew into the air again and observed carefully, his hawk eyes glowing.

"What is that?"

Flender discovered that the Bloodthirsty Magic Ants seemed to be heading to one specific place, where there appeared to be a very inconspicuous, opened small box.

He dove down, picked up the box, and flew away.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the Bloodthirsty Magic Ants chased after the direction Flender had flown.

"They finally retreated." Ma Hongjun, who was not far from Su Ling, collapsed directly onto the ground.

If the Bloodthirsty Magic Ants hadn't left, he would have been the one to leave; his Soul Power was almost completely exhausted, not a drop left.

"Is it over?" Oscar asked.

"It seems to be over!" Ning Rongrong said.

Everyone was exhausted at this moment, only Oscar was doing relatively well.

"It's a good thing Su Ling wasn't affected," Zhu Zhuqing whispered.

When absorbing a spirit ring, one can sense the situation outside; many people, even if they aren't directly attacked, might have their minds affected, leading to failure.

After a while, Zhao Wuji returned.

"Teacher Zhao, where is the Dean?" Dai Mubai asked.

Zhao Wuji said, "Flender killed the Bloodthirsty Magic Ant King, and he flew off in that direction; I think he will be back soon."

"Speaking of which, he was quite lucky; that guy Flender obtained a Spirit Bone, which is truly enviable."

A Spirit Bone is definitely a good item. A 30,000-year-old Spirit Bone, as long as it has decent quality, is priceless; its value starts at a million gold coins.

You have to know that even in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, powerful figures like Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo do not possess a single Spirit Bone.

Given the financial resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, if a Spirit Bone needed by those two were to appear, they would certainly spend a fortune to purchase it; not to mention one million gold coins, they would probably even be willing to pay two million.

However, it is rare to be able to buy useful Spirit Bones on the continent; generally, those who possess Spirit Bones will use them themselves.

If it's a Spirit Bone they cannot use, most will keep it and then trade it with others for one they can use.

Spirit Bones that can be easily sold are either from Spirit Masters who are extremely short on money, or they are of very poor quality, or perhaps they are Spirit Bones with useless abilities.

That is why Zhao Wuji was still a bit excited when he mentioned this.

"Dai Mubai, what's wrong with you? Your complexion is so poor, were you injured just now?" Zhao Wuji asked after noticing Dai Mubai's expression.

"It should be the result of excessive consumption of Soul Power and physical strength; I wasn't injured," Dai Mubai quickly explained.

"It's good that you weren't injured. Everyone, take a rest; I think it's safe for now," Zhao Wuji said.

So everyone consumed another Recovery Sausage. After about half an hour, Flender finally flew back.

Flender didn't say much upon returning, but continued to let everyone rest while waiting for Su Ling to finish absorbing the spirit ring.

One hour later!

The Soul Power within Su Ling's body had finally finished converting.

All of the Soul Power in his body had been completely converted into Five Elements Soul Power.

Because just a moment ago, his Spirit had finally evolved, just as described in his Family Legacy.

The Water Moon Bow had evolved into the Five Elements Battle Bow!

Huh, this Golden Armored Earth Dragon had other gains!

Su Ling had already sensed it after finishing the absorption of the spirit ring.

"Dean, come take a look, is this a Spirit Bone on Boss Su's side?" Oscar said in surprise.

Flender took a look, his expression excited, and said, "This... this, this is actually another external Spirit Bone, and it's even of the millennium level."

An external Spirit Bone?

Everyone else looked over as well.

Su Ling also realized that the Golden Armored Earth Dragon had dropped an external Spirit Bone, thinking to himself that this was the correct way to use a passive skill; luck truly did not deceive him.

However, at this moment, Su Ling had no intention of continuing to absorb the external Spirit Bone.

Although he hadn't participated in the battle outside just now, he could feel the intensity; everyone had fought with their lives to protect him.

Everyone had fought to their absolute limits.

Therefore, Su Ling opened his eyes and put the external Spirit Bone away.

"Su Ling, why aren't you absorbing the Spirit Bone?" Flender asked.

Looking at the state of everyone, as well as the dense pile of Bloodthirsty Magic Ant corpses, Su Ling said, "Dean, now is not the right time; I cannot keep everyone in danger, and besides, I can absorb this Spirit Bone after we go back."

"That works too," Flender said.

"Everyone, thank you. If you ever need anything in the future, count me in," Su Ling said. He was genuinely grateful, and not just saying it for show.

"Brother Su, you said it yourself; you can't go back on your word later," Ning Rongrong said.

"That goes without saying," Su Ling replied.

"Let's go, this place is not suitable for a long stay; let's leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately," Flender said.

Tang San was very envious that Su Ling was able to absorb a spirit ring beyond his level, and on the way, he asked curiously, "Brother Su, you must have gained a lot from absorbing a millennium-level spirit ring."

"Yeah, Brother Su, what level is your Soul Power now?" Ning Rongrong asked.

Su Ling answered truthfully, "Level 42, just one level higher than usual. It seems now that the gains don't outweigh the danger; one must be cautious when absorbing spirit rings beyond one's level."

"Only Level 42? I thought it would be at least a three-level increase. Only two levels; it's indeed too dangerous, not worth it, not worth it," Oscar muttered.

"Dean!" After saying that, Su Ling walked over to Flender's side.

"Su Ling, is something the matter?" Flender asked curiously.

"Thank you for not stopping me and letting me absorb the spirit ring according to my own way of Cultivating," Su Ling said.

"It's nothing; as long as you can succeed in the future, that's all that matters," Flender said.

In fact, Su Ling's predecessor had already told Flender about the evolution of the Water Moon Bow into the Five Elements Battle Bow in order to persuade him.

Otherwise, Flender would not have agreed to let Su Ling absorb spirit rings of different attributes; after all, this is something that looks like reckless behavior to outsiders.

Su Ling smiled and said, "This Golden Armored Earth Dragon has dual Metal and Earth attributes, so I succeeded this time."

After saying this, Su Ling released his evolved Spirit, the Five Elements Battle Bow.

There was no need for Su Ling to hide it from Flender or the people around him.

After all, they lived together every day; if they didn't know today, they would know tomorrow, so it was fine to tell them early.
