Walking into the Soul Hunting Forest, Chen Xin asked, "Little Tian, you said your Spirit needs to absorb Spirit Rings with attributes to grow. Have you considered what the first attribute should be?"
"Yes, teacher. After a day of consideration yesterday, I have completely determined my direction for growth. The first attribute I choose is water!" After careful consideration, Tianlin finally determined the skill he needed.
As long as he followed his plan, he would definitely become a top-tier power attack-type Soul Master in the future, and one that came with its own support.
After all, among the Demon Sword skills, there were several support skills with frighteningly strong effects, and Tianlin didn't plan to give them up.
Chen Xin stopped in his tracks upon hearing this, puzzled. "Why? Among the attributes you listed before, water has the weakest attack power."
The explosiveness and burning of fire, the piercing and paralysis of lightning, the speed and cutting of wind, the heaviness and power of earth, none were more suitable than water.
Perhaps the power of a monstrous wave of water was not inferior to these, but the Soul Beast they were looking for today was only a hundred years old, not reaching that level. Therefore, in Chen Xin's vision, the water attribute could be obtained later, absorbing a ten-thousand-year water attribute Soul Beast would be a wise choice.
"Teacher, I naturally understand your meaning, but in my development plan, the water attribute is extremely important, and I must obtain it as soon as possible," Tianlin said firmly.
"Alright then, in that case, let's go to the lakeside immediately. I know of a Soul Beast that might be very suitable for you!" Saying that, Chen Xin led Tianlin to the lakeside area.
Compared to other attributes, water was relatively easy to find. There were a lot of Soul Beasts in the water, although not as many as sea Soul Beasts, it was enough to meet the needs of ordinary Soul Masters.
During their journey, they encountered several Soul Beasts, including even thousand-year Soul Beasts, but none dared to approach. After all, the Sword Douluo's sword energy was too heavy. Out of their instinct to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, they chose to stay away.
Walking with a Titled Douluo, the Soul Hunting Forest, a place extremely dangerous for ordinary people, was no different from a botanical garden.
This was the benefit of clinging to a powerful backer.
Soon, the two arrived at a huge lake, where many water-type Soul Beasts could be seen wandering.
"Teacher, what about that jellyfish? I feel the water energy on it is very dense," Tianlin pointed to a blue jellyfish.
"Poisonous jellyfish? Judging from its size, it's probably over 200 years old. No, the Spirit Ring I personally hunt for you can't be of such a low age, and the Soul Beast I've chosen for you is much better than this jellyfish." Chen Xin immediately rejected Tianlin's suggestion.
The two had to continue searching, and soon they encountered a fish similar to a kitchen knife.
"Knife Fish, this one is not bad either, but unfortunately, its age seems too low, just over three hundred years." Chen Xin became picky again.
Just then, something seemed to appear next to the Knife Fish. A flash of blue light passed, and the Knife Fish's body was pierced from the middle.
The attacking Soul Beast had terrifying attack power and was very fast. Tianlin didn't even see a shadow.
"Teacher, what was that just now? It actually pierced through the Knife Fish in an instant."
"This attack and speed are exactly what I'm looking for. Little Tian, your Spirit Ring has been found." Chen Xin waved his hand and sent out a sword energy, which exploded on the lake surface.
Immediately, a strangely shaped fish was blasted out. The fish's nose and mouth were connected, like a needle, and its tail had four spiral-shaped fins.
It seemed that this fish had just relied on the rotation of its tail to accelerate, and then used its nose to pierce the Knife Fish.
"Hehe, it really is a Spinning Tail Needlefish!" Chen Xin immediately took action, using his powerful soul power to suck the fish over. "Little Tian, this is the target we're looking for. The age of the Spinning Tail Needlefish is determined by its size and the number of its tails. Each time its size increases, all its tails will fall off and regrow. It is now of medium size and has four tail fins, which means this Needlefish's cultivation is about four hundred years old, which is perfect for you. I have already controlled it, kill it immediately!"
"Okay, Phantom Sword, go!" Tianlin immediately responded and acted. He could understand Chen Xin's good intentions. He was afraid that the pure water attribute would cause his first Spirit skill's attack power to be insufficient, so he specifically looked for this kind of water attribute Soul Beast with higher attack power to make up for this shortcoming.
The Demon Sword split into four Phantom Swords, immediately killing the Spinning Tail Needlefish on the spot.
According to what Chen Xin taught him yesterday, Tianlin sat down cross-legged, and a deep yellow Spirit Ring flew out from the Spinning Tail Needlefish, surrounding Tianlin.
"No, the color depth of this Spirit Ring is not something a four-hundred-year Soul Beast can possess." Chen Xin immediately stepped forward to examine the corpse of the Spinning Tail Needlefish, only to find that the surface of the Needlefish's tail had four fins, but in fact, it had six. Two of them should have been cut off.
Probably during the previous fight with the Knife Fish, they were cut off by the Knife Fish.
"Not good, this Needlefish is actually a six-hundred-year Spirit Beast, Tianlin, you must hold on!"
The absorption of the Spirit Ring has already begun, and it can't be stopped even if we wanted to. I can only hope that Tianlin can hold on.
"Damn it, it hurts so much!"
The resentment of the Needlefish is just like its body, piercing Tianlin with excruciating pain all over.
If it were an ordinary child, I'm afraid they would have already given up. Fortunately, there is an adult's soul in Tianlin's body, so he can grit his teeth and persevere.
"How much longer will it take!" Unknowingly, half an hour has passed, and Tianlin, who has persisted until now, is nearing his limit.
After all, his body is still that of a six-year-old child. Although he has the Body Tempering Method of the Shushan Sect, he only obtained it when his Spirit awakened, and he has never practiced it.
At this moment, the light on Tianlin's left hand shone, and the Holy Spirit Pearl actually appeared on its own, and set up the Holy Breath Barrier.
"Is this the Spirit protecting its master? I didn't expect this Divine-grade Spirit to be so spiritual that it would protect its master on its own at a critical moment." Chen Xin was still anxious, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of the Divine-grade Spirit.
With the Holy Breath Barrier, Tianlin's Spirit Power, mental power, and injuries all began to gradually recover.
Another half an hour later, he could no longer feel the pain, only a constant stream of power flowing into his body.
"Great, the most dangerous time has passed, and he is now accepting the energy of the Spirit Ring!" Chen Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, because his carelessness almost killed the unparalleled talent of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Success!" Finally, Tianlin opened his eyes, he felt that his strength had increased several times compared to before, especially in terms of Spirit Power, it was definitely more than level eleven now.
"Finally completed, I'm sorry Tianlin, because of my carelessness, I almost caused you to explode and die." Chen Xin said apologetically.
Tianlin smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, teacher, who would have thought that this Needlefish's age would be so high? But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, so I could get such a good Spirit Ring."
