Chapter 96: The Third Power-Up, Sacrificing the Soul for Tang San?
Qin Ming was also somewhat helpless; he had originally wanted to give Lin Yuan a show of authority, but Lin Yuan's theories seemed quite impressive.
This made him very puzzled: was this really an eight-year-old child?
It was one thing to Cultivate well, but how was his theoretical knowledge also so good?
Qin Ming had originally thought that Lin Yuan was the type who spent all his time meditating, reaching the limit of daily meditation time as much as possible.
While doing this could certainly improve strength quickly, one's theoretical knowledge would be relatively weak.
As a Spirit Master, one didn't need to know every theory, but basic theoretical common sense and theories related to one's own Spirit still needed to be understood.
Lin Yuan's reaction, however, greatly exceeded his expectations.
Lin Yuan didn't care about Qin Ming's reaction; after sitting down, he continued writing his unfinished diary.
[Actually, compared to the outcome of Xiao Wu's third power-up, Tang San's previous two were just child's play.]
[After all, in the first two, although Xiao Wu was seriously injured and in pain, at least she was still alive and breathing.]
[But this third time... Xiao Wu truly died.]
[How similar was her fate to the previous generation's Ah Yin?]
[It was simply a tragic Reincarnation carved from the same mold!]
[Both were Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts in human form, both fell in love with men from the Clear Sky Sect, and in the end... both were forced to sacrifice themselves to save their loved ones!]
Writing this, Lin Yuan paused, seemingly feeling that it wasn't worth it for these two foolish women.
[Moreover, Xiao Wu's sacrifice was even more overbearing and tragic than Ah Yin's!]
[At that time, Tang San's spirit power had not reached Rank 90. According to the ironclad law of the Spirit Master's world, he simply could not absorb a hundred thousand year spirit ring; his body would have directly exploded!]
[Therefore, to let Tang San live and allow him to perfectly absorb this power...]
[...Xiao Wu chose the most resolute method: Sacrificing her Soul!]
[Burning her life force, burning her Soul, and merging everything she had into Tang San's body without reservation!]
[Only in this way could the Spirit Master's Physique restrictions be ignored, forcing him to absorb the hundred thousand year spirit ring!]
As soon as this text appeared, the atmosphere in the chat group instantly dropped to the freezing point.
[Ah Yin: Sacrificing the Soul? That's too cruel!]
[Ah Yin: Back then, although I sacrificed myself, I at least left behind a seed, and my Soul remained completely intact.]
[Ah Yin: But if the Soul is sacrificed, that means total extinction!]
Ah Yin's leaves trembled violently on the balcony of Lin Yuan's dormitory; as someone who had gone through it, she understood the pain of sacrifice better than anyone.
[Bunny Who Loves Tanghulu:...Is this my destined future? In the end, I still didn't escape the same fate as my mother?]
In the classroom, Xiao Wu stared intently at the diary in her mind, her small face turning slightly pale.
She couldn't imagine to what extent her future self must have loved Tang San to make such a crazy move?
However, this time, the one she liked was Lin Yuan, her brother.
If one day in the future Lin Yuan needed it, she would also... At this moment, Xiao Wu looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with his reflection.
Although she didn't like Tang San, she felt that this act of sacrifice was nothing.
Now, if Lin Yuan encountered danger, she believed she could also without hesitation... The diary continued, and Lin Yuan began to review the "identity exposure" incident that led to the source of the tragedy.
[The fuse that ultimately forced Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself was actually planted five years earlier during the Grand Finals of the Spirit Master Tournament.]
[At that time, the Shrek Team had fought their way through, even defeating the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation in that famous final to win the championship.]
[This should have been a moment of glory, but an accident happened!]
[Xiao Wu's identity as a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, which had been hidden so well, was actually exposed in front of everyone!]
[The reason was very melodramatic and ironic.]
[Because after the match, Ning Fengzhi, acting as the award presenter, did a bad thing out of good intentions.]
[He used the Spirit Avatar of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, wanting to heal Tang San and the others who were exhausted.]
[As a result, due to the excessive spirit power fluctuations and Xiao Wu's relaxed state of mind at the time, the Immortal Herb she held in her arms to hide her aura accidentally fell out!]
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong, who was poking Lin Yuan's back with a pen in the back row of the classroom, suddenly froze.
Her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl:??? My father? It was because of my father?]
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Oh my god! Father was actually the culprit who caused Xiao Wu's identity to be exposed?]
Ning Rongrong panicked.
Although she usually had a bit of a Little Demoness temper, she was kind-hearted, especially now that she had become good friends with Xiao Wu.
[Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Um, Xiao Wu, I'm sorry! I apologize to you on behalf of my father! He certainly didn't do it on purpose; he just wanted to save people...]
[Bunny Who Loves Tanghulu: It's okay, Rongrong. This is all a future that hasn't happened yet, and it was an accident.]
[Bunny Who Loves Tanghulu: Besides, I now have the aura concealment given by the System. Even a Titled Douluo can't tell, so don't worry! I just have to be careful of Tang Hao.]
The diary continued:
[As soon as the Yearning Heartbroken Red fell, Xiao Wu's dense aura of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast was instantly like a lighthouse in the dark, blinding the eyes of all the Titled Douluo present!]
[Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Dugu Bo...]
[Everyone was stunned!]
[At that time, Dugu Bo's expression was very grave. He didn't expect Xiao Wu to be a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast; he thought to himself: If I had known she was a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, I wouldn't have let her come to Spirit City!]
[This shows that Dugu Bo had no prejudice against Xiao Wu's identity and no greed for her spirit ring and Spirit Bone.]
[After all, whether it was Tang San or Xiao Wu, they were on his side.]
[But Bibi Dong was different.]
[When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred. Coupled with the temptation of a hundred thousand year spirit ring, Bibi Dong immediately ordered Xiao Wu's capture!]
[Of course, she was later rescued by Tang the Hammer, who showed up to show off, and that was the end of it.]
[And here, I really want to complain. Bibi Dong's spirit power Rank at that time should have been at Rank 98. She could lock onto Dugu Bo with just a look and aura, making him unable to move on the spot, showing how powerful she was.]
[However, the spirit power barrier she formed along with Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, as well as the Titled Douluo of the Elder Palace, was actually smashed by Tang Hao with one strike?]
[At that time, Tang Hao's spirit power wasn't even at Rank 95. No matter how powerful the Great Sumeru Hammer and Ring Explosion were, at most they could exert the power of Rank 97 or 98, right?]
[To be able to take Tang San and Xiao Wu away from the Spirit Hall's home turf, one can only say... there was something fishy in the middle. Bibi Dong might not have used her full strength at all!]
