Inside the hotel room.
Xiao Tian carefully took out the system-rewarded external Spirit Bone from his spirit tool.
It was shaped like transparent, sword-like wings, with three pairs of feathers, looking very sharp.
'System, please mask the surrounding aura for me later, don't let the Spirit Bone's aura leak out.'
After a simple instruction, Xiao Tian sat cross-legged on the bed and began to absorb the Spirit Bone.
Half an hour passed.
Xiao Tian opened his eyes, which gleamed with brilliance. This external Spirit Bone was truly a good thing!
It instantly raised his spirit power by two levels, and he was now at level nineteen.
The Sky Spirit Sword Wings external Spirit Bone currently brought Xiao Tian two Spirit Ability skills.
[Sword Wing Soar, after use, allows Xiao Tian to gain the ability to fly, increasing his movement speed to a certain extent.]
[Sky Spirit Sword Qi: Xiao Tian can release Sword Qi to attack nearby enemies while flying.]
Strictly speaking, the first Spirit Ability skill was inherent; it was a wing Spirit Bone itself. In Xiao Tian's opinion, this did not count as a Spirit Ability skill; only the second, Sky Spirit Sword Qi, did.
Xiao Tian came to a mirror and spread the Sky Spirit Sword Wings behind him. The nearly transparent three pairs of wings looked very beautiful. (Refer to Haibodong, changing the color a bit)
Over the next year, Xiao Tian naturally did not let Tang San and Xiao Wu off the hook, subjecting them to devilish training together.
The results were quite remarkable. Tang San finally raised his spirit power to level twenty and, with the help of the Notting Academy's dean, obtained his second spirit ring. Just like in the original work, it was a Ghost Vine.
However, his speed was still the slowest among the three. By this time, Xiao Tian was already at level twenty-four, and Xiao Wu was at level twenty-two.
Xiao Tian did not go to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt for his second spirit ring; instead, he directly absorbed the god-bestowed spirit ring given by the system.
Fortunately, his second Spirit Ability happened to be an attack power amplification, which perfectly met his requirements for a second Spirit Ability.
[Second Spirit Ability, Sword Qi Surge, after use, powerful Sword Qi attaches to the sword body, increasing attack power by two hundred percent.]
Xiao Tian was very satisfied with this Spirit Ability.
If he remembered correctly, Sword Dao Chenxin's first Spirit Ability, Longsword Outburst, only increased attack power by thirty percent, while his increased it by two hundred percent.
But this was also normal. Chen Xin's first spirit ring was a hundred-year one, while his second spirit ring was a four-thousand-year one!
"Hey, Xiao Tian, so what level are you exactly? Why can't I beat you even now, when I'm clearly the most talented among the three of us?"
Xiao Wu's small head was filled with great confusion.
"Tell me honestly, did your cultivation secretly increase to above level twenty?"
Xiao Wu wrapped her two hands around Xiao Tian's arm and shook it continuously, trying to use coquetry to make Xiao Tian tell the truth.
After two years of getting along, their relationship had become increasingly intimate.
It was only because Tang San wasn't nearby right now; otherwise, he would probably be grinding his back molars.
Feeling the slight softness on his arm, Xiao Tian's old face also turned red, and he sighed inwardly, Xiao Wu hadn't eaten papaya and milk for nothing these past two years!
Xiao Tian had a feeling of 'my daughter has grown up', hehe.
Xiao Wu looked at the slight blush on Xiao Tian's face, smiled slyly, and thought to herself that she still had some charm.
"Xiao Tian, your—"
"Xiao Wu, do you want to see your face right now? It's as red as an apple."
Xiao Tian didn't wait for Xiao Wu to finish speaking and directly counterattacked.
"Ah? No way!"
Xiao Wu gnashed her little silver teeth.
"Are you going to tell me or not!"
Looking at Xiao Wu, who was somewhat flustered, Xiao Tian also smiled slightly. After two years of groundwork, he actually felt it was almost time to speak, and now was just right.
"Mm, you guessed correctly. My spirit power level has indeed reached level twenty, and it's even a bit higher than yours, already level twenty-four."
Xiao Wu was silent.
Xiao Wu's eyes widened.
Xiao Wu spoke!
"Xiao Tian, you're really not lying to me? Your strength has improved too fast, hasn't it? Faster than even me and Tang San, who have innate full spirit power."
Xiao Wu's face was full of shock, and she had never seen Xiao Tian use a Spirit Ability before, otherwise, she wouldn't have been so curious all this time.
Xiao Tian said lightly, "Yes, my innate spirit power is not as good as yours, but do you still remember what I said before?"
Xiao Wu: ???
What did he say? Why did she have no impression at all?
"Ow, it hurts!"
Xiao Wu covered her head and said, not understanding why Xiao Tian flicked her forehead.
"You have no impression at all? I said before that I was taking another path to improve my spirit power."
It was then that Xiao Wu suddenly realized, "You mean, you're speeding up your spirit power improvement by constantly tempering your Sword Intent? I originally thought you were just messing with me, but I didn't expect it to be true—"
Xiao Wu felt it was so magical. It was the first time she had heard of improving spirit power this way.
However, Xiao Wu wasn't surprised by this; it was all within reason.
No wonder Xiao Tian was either practicing his sword every day or on his way to practice his sword, even sleeping with his sword in his arms!
At the time, she was full of questions, but now it all made sense, it all made perfect sense!
The next moment, two purple spirit rings shimmered around Xiao Tian.
As for the color of the spirit rings, he didn't intend to hide it. This might further stimulate Tang San's desire to strive. The faster Tang San improved, the more excited he would be. This was a walking experience point!
Once his level reached thirty, he could harvest another wave of leeks.
Xiao Tian's guess from a year ago was correct. After both Tang San and Xiao Wu broke through to level twenty, he couldn't wait to spar with them, and the result was as he expected: he triggered a critical reward!
He once again obtained two god-bestowed spirit rings, which was why his second spirit ring was so extravagant, directly using a god-bestowed one; he still had some left anyway!
And at this moment, Tang San also happened to walk over, intending to call the two of them for dinner, but he saw this scene before him.
He walked over with a shocked and solemn expression.
"Xiao Tian, your... what's going on with these spirit rings on you?"
Tang San felt his head buzzing.
Why were both Xiao Tian's first and second spirit rings thousand-year ones?
According to the Grandmaster's theoretical limit for spirit rings, the first ring was around four hundred years, and the second was around eight hundred years, but the spirit rings on Xiao Tian directly broke this theory!
That's right, Xiao Tian did it on purpose. With the system's reminder, he already knew Tang San was approaching them.
Hehe.
Xiao Tian said calmly, "Let's go to Grandmaster's office. It's not something that can be explained in a word or two. Haven't you two been very curious about my strength these past two years? I'll explain it all to you at once now."
