Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: External Spirit Bone: Spine of the Thunder God, the Limit Life Stream Is the Optimal Path of Development

[In the end, Tang Chuan successfully fused the external Spirit Bone brought by the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine spirit ring. As he slowly opened his eyes, his handsome face, with bright eyes and refined features, was filled with both surprise and delight.]

["I didn't expect the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine to actually grant an external Spirit Bone. Truly worthy of its legendary status!"]

[Tang Chuan murmured to himself, his tone brimming with excitement.]

[After successfully fusing the external Spirit Bone, Tang Chuan first activated the third spirit ability granted by the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine, then proceeded to test the Spirit Bone Skill of the external Spirit Bone.]

[Following his tests, he named the third spirit ability: Thunder Prison.]

[Its effect was to summon a vast expanse of pitch-black clouds over a designated area. After a short period of accumulation, these clouds would unleash a storm of thunder and lightning upon enemies below.]

[The lightning strikes generated in this manner possessed astonishing destructive power.]

[However, Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Crystal Vine could absorb the power of lightning, converting it into his own spirit power and vitality, thereby enhancing both its growth and recovery speed.]

[During the duration of Thunder Prison, the vine's tolerance for absorbing lightning, as well as its efficiency in converting it into spirit power and vitality, increased significantly.]

[Moreover, each instance of damage it endured further enhanced its toughness and regenerative speed.]

[Naturally, this enhancement must have an upper limit, though Tang Chuan had yet to determine where that threshold lay.]

[As for the external Spirit Bone, its active ability condensed a thunder spear capable of locking onto a target and striking the enemy directly.]

[In addition, it also possessed a passive effect.]

[It could absorb incoming lightning energy and store it, later converting this stored energy into spirit power and vitality, or using it to amplify the strength of the thunder spear when the Spirit Bone Skill was activated.]

[Because both the third spirit ability and the external Spirit Bone originated from the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine, they resonated with each other. This mutual reinforcement significantly enhanced the effects of both the spirit ability and the Spirit Bone Skill.]

[Tang Chuan named the external Spirit Bone the Spine of the Thunder God, and its skill the Spear of the Thunder God.]

[With the passive effects of both Thunder Prison and the Spine of the Thunder God, Tang Chuan was completely immune to the lightning attacks generated by his own Thunder Prison.]

"Hiss!"

Watching the results of Tang Chuan's tests, Ning Fengzhi involuntarily drew in a sharp breath, his expression filled with astonishment.

"As expected of the legendary Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine. A mere three-thousand-year spirit ring can actually alter the weather and summon heavenly lightning, and it even comes with such powerful passive effects."

"Fortunately, the process of gathering clouds and summoning lightning requires time, making it possible to avoid."

"Otherwise, the effect and power of this ability would likely rival even top-tier ten-thousand-year spirit abilities."

"Sect Master, I am aware that the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine is a legendary plant spirit beast with the bloodline of the Thunder God."

"But Tang Chuan's martial spirit is still Blue Silver Grass."

"Even after one evolution, it should only rank as a mid-to-high-tier spirit at best."

"For a mere three-thousand-year spirit ring to produce such an overwhelming ability, isn't that a bit excessive?"

Bone Douluo Gu Rong could not help but voice his doubts.

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi shook his head and let out a soft chuckle.

"Uncle Bone, you are overlooking something."

"You've forgotten that Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Grass is no ordinary variant. His mother, Ah Yin, was a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor."

"Although his spirit initially awakened as ordinary Blue Silver Grass, its true origin is far from ordinary."

"Moreover, do you recall the Martial Soul Origin Completion and Evolution Theory he proposed earlier?"

Ning Fengzhi then carefully recounted the essence of Tang Chuan's theory, his tone filled with admiration.

"From his very first spirit ring, Tang Chuan has consistently absorbed rings from top-tier plant spirit beasts."

"Whether it was the Everlasting Evergreen Vine, the Dream Starlight Flower, or the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine, the pattern has never changed."

"Given the inherent weakness of Blue Silver Grass, by absorbing spirit rings from these high-level plant spirit beasts, all of which possess strong life attributes and high compatibility, he has significantly supplemented and strengthened the origin of his martial spirit."

"Coupled with the evolution brought about by fusing the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor spirit bone…"

"His Blue Silver Crystal Vine is now at least a high-tier plant spirit, if not already approaching the top tier."

"With such a foundation, obtaining such a powerful spirit ability from a Divine-level plant spirit beast like the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine is not strange at all."

After finishing, Ning Fengzhi gave his final conclusion.

"From Tang Chuan's choice of spirit rings and the resulting abilities, it is clear that his earlier theories were entirely correct."

"Compared to the cultivation path designed by Yu Xiaogang for Tang San in the Black World, Tang Chuan's Limit Life Stream is undoubtedly the superior path."

Meanwhile, the comparison video continued.

[After absorbing the spirit ring of the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine, Tang Chuan once again used a spirit power testing crystal ball suitable for the Spirit Elder rank to measure his cultivation.]

[Unlike when he absorbed his second spirit ring and jumped directly from Rank 20 to Rank 30…]

[This time, his cultivation rose from Rank 30 to Rank 38, still two ranks short of reaching Rank 40 and entering the realm of a Quasi-Spirit Ancestor.]

[After advancing to Spirit Elder, Tang Chuan returned from the Star Dou Great Forest to the Blue Silver Forest and resumed his diligent cultivation using the Blue Silver Meditation Technique.]

[Outside of cultivation, he continued purchasing and consuming Whale Glue. At the same time, recognizing the effectiveness of fragmentation grenades during his hunt, he continued producing more of them.]

[However, his efforts were not limited to that. Tang Chuan also began researching the further development of his spirit abilities.]

[Using the thunder attribute from the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine as a core element, he rapidly developed multiple combinations of spirit abilities.]

[For instance, when attacking with the Blue Silver Crystal Vine, he could convert his spirit power into intense lightning energy, infusing the vine with electricity. This allowed it to apply a paralysis effect while performing binding control.]

[Additionally, he successfully infused thunder energy into the Parasitic Seeds and pollen spores generated by his second spirit ability.]

[Once these seeds and spores entered an enemy's body and began to take root, they would release stored lightning energy, making their effects far more destructive.]

[If they managed to take root in an opponent's head, the sudden discharge of lightning could catch the target completely off guard, potentially knocking them unconscious in an instant.]

[After all, the thunder attribute of his Blue Silver Crystal Vine originated from the Thunderclap Hell Prison Vine. Even though it was obtained through a spirit ring, it still qualified as a top-tier lightning attribute.]

At this point, whether in the Black World or the White World, countless Spirit Masters widened their eyes in shock.

A chill ran down their spines.

To think Tang Chuan could conceive and develop such intricate and powerful combinations of spirit abilities.

This was the mark of a true genius.
