2: Mysterious Realm

Su Wen, hearing this, carefully felt his Spirit.

The throbbing sensation that felt almost linked to his bloodline.

Made his heart race.

"It seems to have an innate trait; my Spirit is unafraid of light and holy attributes, possesses the dark attribute, and contains resentment, baleful aura, hostility, and destruction!"

"There's also a Domain, the Senluo Ghost Domain. It covers a hundred-meter radius, increasing all my attributes by 150% while weakening enemies by 20%. For every level I gain hereafter, my attributes increase by another 1%, the range expands by a hundred meters, and enemies cannot use stealth abilities within the Domain!"

"So, I feel my Spirit follows the Power Attack and Control paths!"

Su Wen didn't hide it; since he was in Spirit Hall, showing talent appropriately at times was necessary to be valued.

Ye Yuaner and Bibi Dong fell silent.

There was even a hint of envy in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes.

Being unafraid of the holy attribute was a capability many evil and dark Spirits dreamed of.

His Spirit's quality exceeded her own Death Spider Emperor and Soul Eating Spider Emperor.

Even if it hadn't reached the Divine-Grade, it was likely infinitely close.

Bibi Dong pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Xiao Wen, are you willing to become my disciple?"

Su Wen instinctively looked at Ye Yuaner and saw her gesturing for him to agree.

He bowed respectfully to Bibi Dong: "Disciple Su Wen greets Teacher!"

"Good, good. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare much. This is a storage spirit tool I used before; it has eighteen cubic meters of space and can store living things. Inside is my token and a meditation cultivation method I'm currently using. You can cultivate according to its contents."

Bibi Dong's eyes showed satisfaction as she took out an exquisite bracelet.

"Disciple understands." Su Wen respectfully took the bracelet.

"Tomorrow, let your Aunt Ye take you to obtain your first spirit ring. Afterward, come to the Supreme Pontiff Palace, and I will personally guide you!"

After speaking, Bibi Dong walked out of the room, her cicada-wing-thin dress brushing past Su Wen's face, leaving a trail of fragrant wind.

"By the way, Ye Yuaner, you're about to break through level ninety, aren't you?"

Bibi Dong suddenly stopped.

Ye Yuaner was startled, then replied, "Reporting to Your Holiness, half a year will be enough!"

Bibi Dong nodded slightly. "Very well. When the time comes, I will have Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo help you obtain your ninth spirit ring, and then I will personally hold the Title ceremony for you."

"Thank you, Your Holiness!" Ye Yuaner bowed again.

Su Wen could see that this newfound teacher was winning over Aunt Ye.

Bibi Dong had only been on the throne for a year, and her foundation was unstable; the only ones she could likely mobilize from the Elder Palace were Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

He sighed inwardly. According to the original plot, Aunt Ye indeed belonged to the Supreme Pontiff's faction and was killed by the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape after acting rashly in pursuit of merit.

"If Xiao Wen becomes the Supreme Pontiff's disciple, won't he have a chance to become the Saint, and then, like the current Supreme Pontiff, rise from Saint to Supreme Pontiff!"

After Bibi Dong left, Ye Yuaner suddenly crouched down and gave Su Wen a loud kiss on the cheek, her flaming pupils staring intently at him.

"Who knows!"

Su Wen rolled his eyes in distaste and wiped the wetness from his face.

He summoned his Spirit again, having a general understanding of its situation.

But he had no clue about the information regarding the two Natal Weapons.

He couldn't just hit people with a flower and an umbrella, could he?

Bibi Dong hadn't mentioned it, likely because she didn't know; Su Wen suspected she had gone to look through books at this moment.

After studying with Ye Yuaner for a day without figuring it out, he could only obtain the first spirit ring first to see how it went.

At night, Su Wen lay in bed, analyzing the pairing for his first spirit ring.

It would be great if he could use Di Tian as a spirit ring.

Even if the other party was unwilling to sacrifice, settling for Zi Ji wouldn't be bad either.

One must have dreams; otherwise, what's the difference between a person and a salted fish!

However, at this point in time, the Vicious Beasts should all be in deep sleep... As Su Wen was thinking, a pair of hands pulled him into a soft embrace.

Ye Yuaner wore a thin gauze robe. As the moonlight shone in, her snow-white skin was faintly visible through the gauze.

"Aunt Ye, I'm almost grown up!"

Su Wen smelled the faint milky fragrance at his nose and spoke in a helpless voice.

A year ago, when his father was smashed to pieces by the Clear Sky Hammer, leaving no remains, and his mother's mangled corpse was brought back.

Su Wen went through his darkest days, with Ye Yuaner accompanying him day and night.

As time passed, Ye Yuaner gradually became accustomed to holding him to fall asleep.

"No, you're still small!"

Ye Yuaner's soft hand gave a quick check and provided a firm response. Without allowing Su Wen to refuse, she held him and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Boom!

The next morning.

Su Wen was taken into the sky by Ye Yuaner. Stepping on the Blazing Fire Spirit Kite, they turned into a streak of light and disappeared from Spirit City at top speed.

"Aunt Ye, are we going to the Soul Hunting Forest?"

Su Wen wore a black brocade robe. His neatly trimmed short hair looked sharp, and his eerie eyes looked ahead.

Being hundreds of meters above the ground was indeed a bit terrifying.

But Su Wen didn't feel any discomfort, not even a hint of air resistance.

"Star Dou Great Forest. There are many Spirit Beasts there, giving us plenty of choices. If we can encounter a rare bloodline, for the same spirit ring age, the soul skill of a rare bloodline will be more powerful!"

"How about we go to the Sunset Forest?"

"Sunset Forest is further than the Star Dou Great Forest and doesn't have as many Spirit Beasts!"

"Then are you going or not?"

"Giggle~ Yes, yes. If Xiao Wen wants to go, we'll go!"

Ye Yuaner spoke dotingly, controlling her Spirit to change direction and fly toward the Sunset Forest.

Three days later, Ye Yuaner and Su Wen arrived above the Sunset Forest.

As a Spirit Douluo, Ye Yuaner had ample experience in hunting Spirit Beasts.

She took Su Wen directly to the darkest area of the forest to look for dark-attribute Spirit Beasts.

"Xiao Wen, Auntie will test you. You read many books on Spirit theory before awakening your Spirit. How many years do you think you should absorb for your spirit ring now? And what kind of spirit ring?"

Ye Yuaner looked at Su Wen with a somewhat serious expression, a hint of expectation in her eyes. Her demeanor shifted from a gentle aunt to a strict teacher in an instant.

Su Wen pondered for a moment before replying, "I'm following the Power Attack and Control paths. The first spirit ring is rarely used in the later stages, so I think an amplification soul skill is best. Even after reaching Titled Douluo, this skill won't be wasted. As for the age of the spirit ring..."

Su Wen thought of a certain Great Master's theory and somewhat disagreed. "The age of a spirit ring a Spirit Master can absorb depends heavily on their physique and Mental Energy. A Battle Soul Master's physical quality far exceeds that of a Support-type Spirit Master, so the spirit ring age can be appropriately increased. I feel my body might hurt at five hundred years, but that's definitely not my limit. I want to try a dark-attribute Spirit Beast between six hundred and seven hundred years..."

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Ye Yuaner's eyes, but her mouth twitched at the end.

Her face darkened. "You really dare to ask. Seven hundred years? Do you think I look like one? Do you know my first spirit ring was only three hundred-plus years?"
