This was a specialization even Fang Ling himself found stunning.
Golden Body LvMAX (Innate Specialization, Cannot Be Upgraded, Gained from consuming immortal herbs: mainly from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Delicate Branch, supplemented by the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum...)
The front part of the description was nothing extraordinary. The key was in the specific changes listed afterward.
(...Your physical body's potential has increased dramatically. It is without doubt among the strongest in the world. Your bodily attributes have significantly improved, and your limb strength has increased greatly. You can overpower top-tier Beast Spirit-type Power Attack Spirit Masters by one entire rank. As long as you're not worried about your Martial Soul breaking, you can even face off against Power Attack-type Spirit Kings head-on.)
The Martial Soul wasn't even touched on,there would be future herb boosts for that. The enhancement to physical potential and attributes was undeniably exhilarating.
The two previous specializations from the Ice and Fire Twin Herbs were fully inherited. Due to the "indestructible" effect from the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, a new elemental resistance was even added.
(Immune to extreme Ice/Fire attributes, minor resistance to all elements, and a significant boost to poison resistance.)
Finally, the description addressed the meridians, which brought the most welcome improvement:
(The medicinal power of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum greatly improved the smoothness and toughness of your meridians. From a trickling stream to a flowing river, new channels for spirit power circulation have opened up. Your spirit power now flows more smoothly, increasing circulation speed by 60%.)
The pathways for spirit power circulation were finally improved!
Even if it was only partial, that 60% increase was a fantastic figure.
And since it came from the same spirit beast that gave the _Star Mole Transformation_ and _Reflex_ specializations, and all acted on the body, their benefits were added arithmetically.
The Golden Body LvMAX increased his "hardware," perfectly syncing with the "software" boost from Warrior's Will, which worked multiplicatively. No wonder Martial Soul release and spirit power flow had become insanely fast.
His spirit power flow speed had now doubled compared to before.
That's eight times the increase from the former 25% boost from Warrior's Will Lv4!
It wasn't possible to continue developing meridians easily,the concept didn't exist in Douluo Dalu lore, except for Tang San. Fang Ling didn't think he could quickly develop such a method himself, so he temporarily put that aside.
He would just focus on upgrading Warrior's Will. Through this multiplicative approach, the gains would be tremendous.
"No wonder they're called immortal herbs," Dugu Bo sighed after hearing Fang Ling's explanation.
Being able to stumble across the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was truly the greatest stroke of luck in his life.
This place was so valuable that not even the slightest bit could be leaked. Otherwise, it would be impossible to protect.
"You only ate the first herb and got this much improvement. What about the second one? When are you taking it?" Dugu Yan couldn't hide the shock in her eyes.
Immunity to ice and fire, elemental resistance, poison immunity, just a newly advanced Spirit Elder with the physical qualities of a Spirit King...
Is this what immortal herbs do?
Can such a person still be called a normal Spirit Master?
What kind of Spirit Master gets to be this outrageous?
"It's not one herb,it's three. I've already taken two body-refining herbs earlier," Fang Ling corrected her to avoid giving any false expectations.
"Yan-yan jie, the reason you were able to detoxify with my blood is that the medicinal power hasn't been fully absorbed yet."
"As for your second question,I can answer now. I'm taking the next one right away."
"It won't cause issues?" Dugu Yan gently touched the muscles at Fang Ling's waist, feeling the tough skin and warm texture, with a bit of concern in her eyes.
"The medicinal powers won't conflict?"
"Strengthening the body includes the eyes too, right?"
Fang Ling took her hand and said, "Of course it does. But don't worry. _Wangchuan Qiushui Dew_ is very gentle. There's no conflict."
"Once I take this, I might even be able to directly absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for my fourth ring."
"We'll see. If your spiritual power reaches the standard, I'll help you hunt a ten-thousand-year ring," said Dugu Bo, though he didn't promise.
Considering the previous three herbs only brought Fang Ling up to Spirit King-level physique, he figured this single herb wouldn't be enough.
And he was right. Tang San had practiced the _Purple Demon Eye_ since childhood, while Fang Ling only had Warrior's Will, whose effectiveness was still uncertain.
If his spiritual power wasn't sufficient, Dugu Bo would absolutely insist Fang Ling take only a thousand-year ring.
Better safe than sorry,there was still a long road ahead. Spirit ring age wasn't everything.
To avoid unnecessary risk or harm to the body, major clans wouldn't allow their disciples to absorb rings right at the limit either.
Under the watchful eyes of the two onlookers, Fang Ling quickly walked to a seemingly ordinary herb and his eyes lit up with excitement. "This is it!"
Before the three of them was a completely green herb.
At its center were three snow-white leaves, with a few dewdrops on them, as if left behind by the morning mist.
Fang Ling carefully cut it at the root, held it in front of himself, and tilted it slightly. A few drops of clear liquid dripped into his mouth.
The moment those drops left the leaves, the entire stalk of Wangchuan Qiushui Dew instantly withered into dust and scattered in the breeze.
A pure, refreshing energy filled his mouth, accompanied by a clean and slightly sweet aroma.
In an instant, it spread through every corner of his body, bringing waves of cooling comfort.
After a period of calm, the medicinal energy fully dispersed and was absorbed. Then it surged upward through his meridians, heading straight to the brain and eyes.
It was a unique sensation,his eyes felt ice-cold at first, then gradually warmed, like being gently steamed in warm water, continuously nourished by the medicinal essence.
His brain also felt as though it were soaking in a hot spring.
The absorption process was smooth.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan could clearly see a golden-red light surrounding Fang Ling's head. Threads of golden light streamed into his eyes.
This absorption was slower than before.
Even with his digestion-related specializations, it still took time.
Only when the sun had set and night had fallen,when the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was glowing with all sorts of colorful lights,did the golden-red light fully merge into Fang Ling's brain and eyes.
He opened his eyes, and the multicolored light of the Yin-Yang Well reflected a flash in them.
Brilliant golden-red beams shot from his pupils, glowing for a few inches before fading.
From the moment he began absorbing _Wangchuan Qiushui Dew_, the specialization panel had been flashing continuously,until now, when it finally stabilized.
The new specialization wasn't unexpected, but the actual effect still shocked him.
After all this time in the Douluo Dalu world, he finally had a high-level specialization.
Weakness Detection Lv7 (Innate Specialization, derived from the compound eyes of the Thorn Blood Dragonfly. Under the influence of the immortal herb _Wangchuan Qiushui Dew_, your perception has dramatically increased. You can now more easily observe weak points in the enemy's spirit power circulation. Hitting those areas grants bonus damage.
