75: Chapter 75 King Spirit Level, Bone Spider
Lin Fan continued to weave between the metal shelves, his gaze sweeping over each Armor Spirit egg like a scanner.
Xu Ziyan followed closely behind him, his eyes wide open, terrified of missing anything good.
When they reached the middle of the fifth row, Lin Fan paused.
An egg, red as flame with patterns on its shell that seemed to have molten lava flowing through them, was lying there quietly.
Information appeared in his left eye:
【 Race 】: Molten Ape
【 Attribute 】: Fire
【 Aptitude 】: Profound Spirit Rank High-Grade, (Upper Limit: Heaven Spirit Rank High-Grade)
【 Armorization Part 】: Hand
【 Evaluation 】: Fire-attribute melee strong assault type Armor Spirit, with violent power; after Armorization, attacks can carry a burning effect.
"Xu Ziyan, this one." Lin Fan stepped aside to make room and then introduced it.
Xu Ziyan's first Armor Spirit granted him long-range combat and control abilities, and this Molten Ape perfectly compensated for his weakness in melee burst power.
Xu Ziyan had blind trust in Lin Fan; after hearing Lin Fan's introduction, he didn't even think about it, directly reaching out to hold the Molten Ape's egg in his arms.
"This is it! Hehe, let's see who dares to engage me in close-quarters combat now!"
After selecting one for Xu Ziyan, Lin Fan continued forward.
Sun Wei and Qin Ling followed quietly behind.
Walking to the end of the seventh row, an egg that was pitch black and shimmering with a cold metallic light caught Lin Fan's attention.
The eggshell was thick with rough patterns, as if it contained the power of a mountain.
【 Race 】: Sinking Mountain Elephant
【 Attribute 】: Earth
【 Aptitude 】: Profound Spirit Rank Mid-Grade, (Upper Limit: Heaven Spirit Rank High-Grade)
【 Armorization Part 】: Arm
【 Evaluation 】: An Armor Spirit with both defense and power; after Armorization, arm defense is significantly increased, making it suitable for frontal assaults.
Sun Wei's requirement was to be able to tank and fight; it was clear he had already found his future role—a defensive-type Beast Armor Master.
For those with ordinary Aptitude who had only opened three or four armor apertures, they often chose to specialize in one direction to push their limited armor apertures to the limit.
Sun Wei was exactly like that; what he pursued was ultimate defense.
Of course, those Beast Armor Masters with good talent and many armor apertures would match their Armor Spirits according to their own armor apertures to achieve a more comprehensive and flexible combat style.
Lin Fan briefly told Sun Wei the information about the Sinking Mountain Elephant egg, and after hearing it, Sun Wei decisively chose this Armor Spirit egg as well.
The three of them had selected their Armor Spirit eggs, leaving only Qin Ling who had yet to choose.
Lin Fan's gaze continued to scan the shelves, searching for an attack-type Armor Spirit suitable for Qin Ling's right-hand Armorization.
He walked very slowly; the burning sensation in his left eye flickered in and out, and information flowed through his mind like water.
When Lin Fan's gaze swept over an ice-blue egg with patterns like spreading ice crystals, his left eye heated up slightly, and information appeared.
Ice Crystal Scorpion, attacks carry slowing and piercing effects, suitable for the hand.
Just as he was about to speak to Qin Ling, his peripheral vision caught an egg in the corner diagonally behind him.
That egg was not large, dark purple in color, and its shell was covered in fine silver patterns that faintly formed a closed spider pattern.
What shocked Lin Fan even more was that the burning sensation from his left eye was exceptionally clear.
【 Race 】: Withered Bone Spider
【 Attribute 】: Poison
【 Aptitude 】: Profound Spirit Rank High-Grade, (Upper Limit: King Spirit Rank Low-Grade)
【 Armorization Part 】: Hand
【 Evaluation 】: A rare poison-type control Armor Spirit with extremely high potential; attacks carry neurotoxins and spiderweb binding; after Armorization, fingers can release poison threads, combining control and continuous damage.
An upper limit of King Spirit Rank Low-Grade—this was the highest Aptitude he had seen so far.
A poison-type control class was an extremely rare type; if it could perfectly resonate, Qin Ling's combat style would become extremely tricky and hard to defend against.
He turned to Qin Ling and pointed to the dark purple egg.
"Take a look at this."
Qin Ling looked in the direction he pointed, and when her gaze touched the strange and exquisite spiderweb patterns, a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes.
She walked closer, carefully sensing the faint, cold, and viscous aura emanating from inside the egg, which actually resonated somewhat with her own spiritual power fluctuations.
"This is..." she asked softly.
Lin Fan briefly explained the information he saw with his left eye, omitting the specific level of the Aptitude upper limit.
"Poison attribute, primarily control, with continuous poison damage. Although it doesn't fit the strong assault type Armor Spirit you wanted, believe me, you won't regret contracting it."
Qin Ling was silent for a moment, her slender fingers gently brushing over the silver spiderweb patterns on the eggshell, and a trace of imperceptible coldness spread from her fingertips.
She didn't like overly flashy types; this egg was mysterious and dark, carrying a sense of quiet danger, which instead made her feel it was a good fit.
"Let's go with this one."
She made her decision quickly.
Lin Fan turned around and scanned the remaining metal shelves.
Xu Ziyan, Su Xiaoxiao, Sun Wei, and Qin Ling had all selected their Armor Spirit eggs.
Only he remained without one.
Lin Fan walked to the center of the Profound Spirit Rank area and began to look for one for himself.
His left eye heated up slightly as the information for each Armor Spirit egg flashed across his field of vision.
He looked through them row by row, from left to right, top to bottom, not missing a single corner.
But the more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
It wasn't that these Armor Spirit eggs were bad.
On the contrary, they were all quite good; outside, they would be things that ordinary students would fight tooth and nail for.
For most people, these were already quite rare Armor Spirits.
But for Lin Fan—it wasn't enough.
Far from enough.
The information panel for Xiao Zhuang appeared in his mind.
Shadow Wood Spirit Snake, Aptitude upper limit Divine Spirit Rank High-Grade.
Divine Spirit Rank High-Grade.
That was the most supreme existence.
How could he possibly be satisfied with ordinary Armor Spirits?
He walked through the entire Profound Spirit Rank area and still didn't find an Armor Spirit he liked.
Except for the Withered Bone Spider from earlier, there was also a King Spirit Rank High-Grade Yang Thunder Luan Bird, but its Armorization part was the back, which didn't fit his armor apertures.
And even if it was King Spirit Rank High-Grade, he wasn't interested.
Seeing Lin Fan lost in thought, Xu Ziyan came over.
"Lin Fan, haven't you picked one yet? I've seen you walk around three times already."
Lin Fan didn't answer, but instead turned and walked toward the entrance.
Old Chen was leaning against the counter, slowly flipping through a booklet.
Seeing Lin Fan approach, he looked up.
"Picked one?"
Lin Fan shook his head.
"Old Chen, I would like to ask, where are the mortal spirit rank Armor Spirit eggs?"
Old Chen's hand, which was flipping through the booklet, paused.
He looked up, a flash of surprise appearing in his eyes as he looked at Lin Fan.
"mortal spirit rank?"
Xu Ziyan, who was behind him, heard this and his eyes went wide.
"Lin Fan, are you crazy? Why are you looking at mortal spirit rank ones instead of picking from the Profound Spirit Rank?"
The others also looked at Lin Fan with confused expressions.
Old Chen put down the booklet and said slowly.
"Kid, I have to warn you. Your reward is a Profound Spirit Rank Armor Spirit egg. If you choose a mortal spirit rank one, that is your own choice, and the school will not exchange it for you."
Lin Fan nodded.
"I know."
Old Chen looked at him, was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly smiled.
"Interesting. You are the first student to voluntarily downgrade and choose an Armor Spirit."
He pointed to the right.
"The mortal spirit rank ones are over there, the two shelves in the very back. Go ahead."
Lin Fan nodded and walked toward the right.
