《The Legend of The Grandmaster》Chapter 23
Advertisement
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao reaction's were the live portrayals of the words, " A summer insect cannot discuss ice, because it knows only its own season. " Both of them are recognized as the top geniuses among their generation, yet they had no words to describe Yu Xiaogang's current breakthrough.
The more they thought, the more it baffled them because the energy Yu Xiaogang absorbed came from within his body and not from their surroundings. Only Ah Yin's flashed for a moment, " Is he also a hundred thousand years old spirit beast. "
Tang Xiao secretly let out a long sigh, and his body unconsciously relaxed after remembering he is a rank 76 spirit-sage. Yu Xiaogang's actions really horrified him, but how could he have thought that it was just the beginning.
Tang Xiao, " Yu Xiaogang, even if you break through spirit-ancestor, so what? I am a rank 76 spirit-sage. Not to mention, you still have only three spirit rings. "
Tang Hao intervened and said firmly, " Let it be, brother. We came here to hunt a spirit beast for me, and now that I have absorbed the spirit ring, we should leave. "
Tang Xiao had recovered most of his sanity; after hearing his brother's determination, he had given up on his initial goal, but he still wanted to teach Yu Xiaogang a lesson. As a spirit-sage, how could Tang Xiao back out of a fight against a spirit-ancestor, let alone one with three spirit rings. He said, " Fine, I won't touch the girl, but I am still going to teach him a lesson. "
" Fine. " Yu Xiaogang nonchalantly spoke without giving Tang Hao any chance to refute. He really wanted to kill Tang Xiao, but Yu Xiaogang knew it was not possible, at least not right now. Secondly, he also wanted to fight an expert to know his present strength.
Tang Hao was at a loss after he heard Yu Xiaogang's reply, and he didn't speak any further. He walked and stood beside Ah Yin.

Yu Xiaogang coolly glanced at everyone present, and he closed his eyes afterward. Everyone looked surprised, but they still paid close attention to his actions. They can not be blamed for this; after all, Yu Xiaogang did shock them. They did not have to wait for a long time; after a few moments, a white-colored spirit ring appeared above his head.
Everyone, including Ah Yin, was shocked by the scene in front of them. Tang Hao unconsciously spoke, " Ah Yin, is this how you also absorbed spirit ring? " She shook her head.
Ah Yin said, " Although we spirit beasts create our own spirit rings but we can not increase the age of the ring. Moreover, we can only create the first six spirit rings. "
Both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao listened carefully. It took them a few moments to grasp the information before gesturing her to continue.
" We spirit beasts mature after reaching the rank 70 spirit-sage, and after absorbing the seventh spirit-ring truly transform into humans, and no one can tell from thereon. " Ah Yin continued as everyone looked at the rapidly changing colors of the spirit ring above Yu Xiaogang's head.

Yu Xiaogang was completely immersed in absorbing the wisps of energy from the black pearl and was not aware of the shock his actions had caused. As he swallowed energy, a ten-year-old white-colored spirit ring formed over his head, and it changed its color almost instantly from white to yellow, purple, and finally black.
He continued to absorb the energy from the core, and the age of the spirit ring rose rapidly from ten thousand and finally stopped at sixty thousand years.
Yu Xiaogang stopped swallowing the energy, and with a single thought, an illusionary black dragon appeared behind him, and he proceeded to absorb the spirit ring.
The big black spirit ring slowly condensed as it descended on Yu Xiaogang. After the previous breakthrough, his spirit power circulated by itself, and only while absorbing the spirit ring, he needed to circulate it himself.

The process of absorbing the spirit ring was short and smooth. As he started absorbing the spirit ring, strands of warm energy entered his body, and after a full circulation, it merged with the three cores within him. On the contrary, other spirit-masters have to endure burning energy breaking into their body every time they absorb a spirit ring.
The warm energy improved his skin, muscles, internal organs, bones, and blood. Overall it raised his body to a new level. Even his physique, " Innate Devouring Body, " also showed improvement.
His spirit power did not show much increase; it only grew from rank 39 spirit-elder to rank 41 spirit-ancestor. Although Yu Xiaogang had already expected this situation, he still showed a bitter expression.
The three spirit cores had absorbed most of the energy from the spirit ring, and it showed a very minute improvement, other than solidifying a bit. Moreover, absorbing another spirit ring in such a short period had shaken his robust foundation.

Yu Xiaogang felt the changes in his body and smiled. Now he could go toe to toe with a spirit-sage with his body alone.
" Cough! " Yu Xiaogang coughed slightly.
Everyone looked stunned as if they were watching the entire scene over and over again. All of them snapped out of their imagination after hearing Yu Xiaogang's slight coughing.
" Father, you must create a spirit ring for me. "
Yu Yan was the first one to react; she hopped and hugged him. She spoke while blinking her adorable big eyes.
" Fine! Little Yan, now be obedient and go back to little sister Yin. "
Yu Xiaogang affectionately rubbed her little head and said.
Yu Yan nodded her head firmly and went back to Ah Yin, and Yu Xiaogang faced Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
While Tang Xiao and Tang Hao opened their mouth a few times to speak, but they couldn't utter a word.
Tang Hao glared at his elder brother as if saying, " Look at the good work you have done. "
Tang Xiao could only pretend to be oblivious of his younger brother's stare; rather, he was racking his brain to figure out the origin of the spirit ring if Yu Xiaogang was not a spirit beast.
While both of the brothers were embarrassed to ask, Ah Yin took the lead and spoke, " Big brother Xiaogang, what is the origin of your spirit ring? " Although Ah Yin was embarrassed and felt guilty, yet her curiosity won, and she asked him.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao also looked at Yu Xiaogang, waiting for his answer.
Yu Xiaogang smiled lightly after hearing Ah Yin's question, and he already knew that they would ask him after the stunt he had pulled in front of them.
" God bestowed spirit ring. " Yu Xiaogang's reply was four simple words; he was not going to elaborate or explain anything to them. He didn't owe them.
Four simple words, " God bestowed spirit ring, " shook the very core of three of them.
These four words acted like a hammer smashing their souls. Although the previous actions of Yu Xiaogang were shocking, they could still accept it because, as the heir to one of the top clans on the continent, both of them knew the existence of various geniuses.
Both of them had heard a thing or two back at the clan before their grandfather left the clan in search of " Goodhood. "
As a spirit beast, Ah Yin was more knowledgeable, and even with her kind personality for the first time, she was envious of someone.
Unknown to everyone, Yu Yan's eyes flickered with complex emotions, not matching her age, but it only lasted for a second before she recovered.

Cryo becomes a well-known member of the community because he uploads videos online and livestreams and is especially well-known because he almost never pulls good units from the gacha due to his terrible luck, which makes his anger fun to watch. One day, Admin (Administrators/Developers of the gacha game) send him an email inviting him to their facilities to tour them as a thank-you for making content for the game. On his way to the facilities Cryo stops at a gas station to get some snacks and the gas station is stuck-up by a robber.

Cryo is then transported to purgatory where a cute goddess decides his fate to be transported to a realm that needed help, promising Cryo if he found 4 legendary swords in this world he would gain re-admittance to the life he once lived. Before being transported to the world that needed assistance the goddess tells him that he can maximize any of his traits, procuring thought into whether Cryo should choose looks, strength, or another trait. After being reminded of his terrible luck in which a flashback to his family dying in a house fire is shown, he decides maximizing his luck trait should be the best choice.

A Wanderer is a reincarnated soul that gets sent to a different world to make a better life than the one he originally had. The reason why Hugh became a wonderer was because his life was too short in his eyes to fit his ambitions and his marriage never came to fruition, so when given the option to start from the beginning he accepted. The world he chose was one where various sentient races coexist and the Gods, or rather Vitans, interact with the lower realms. It's a world with magic, a large variety of unique creatures, and a chance to give Hugh everything he couldn't get in his previous life. When he was reincarnated he became Lucien Mercelious and his new life began.
8 118Children of The Sky: Heartcore
In the realm of Yggdrasil, there exist nine worlds. Each and every world has unique stories to tell, but there was one that stood out--The Floating World of Speir. In the land of Speir, the impossible does not exist; this world has given birth to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tales, fables, and legends. The fight for the fate of the world is a common occurrence and the neverending stories of the people which reside in it were all, by itself, always unique and interesting. Now, after many aeons have passed, the world has changed. Not only the power of magic could shape reality, technology also has the ability to change the world with just a thought. And from the world where futuristic technology meets magic, I have chosen to tell you a story, a story picked from countless others. This is the story of a boy who recently entered the prestigious, and the most powerful academy in all of the nine worlds--Yggdrasil Academy, to fufill his dream. What is his dream, you might ask. Well, allow me to show you the life of Reynard Foxtale, one of The Children of The Sky. *Warning. For those who don't like lengthy explanations or long talks, this might not suit your taste. However, the setting of my story does not adhere to most of the main stream fantasy/sci-fi settings. So, you might find my ideas unique or a little too weird and complicated or both. Whatever opinions you might have, I truly thank all of you who are willing to spend your time to read my story. *The cover (which is a picture I do not own) is not in any way an accurate depiction of the world in the story. P/S I will post this story on FictionPress as well. P/P/S I'm relatively new to this website, so if I made any obvious (to regulars) mistakes, please tell me. P/P/P/S Will update every two weeks. *Important: In Hiatus for now. **13/7/2017 Update. Check chapter nine (and maybe ten) post-chapter note.
