Chapter 115: Two Different Worlds
It's well-known that external spirit bones possess growth potential.
However, what many people don't realize is that only the Spirit Master who absorbs the spirit ring from the spirit beast that drops the external spirit bone can absorb the bone itself.
Kong merely felt the aura of this external spirit bone, and Shui Ningshuang was already filled with unease, as though she was facing some great terror.
Indeed, external spirit bones can grow, but they still require the Spirit Master to increase their strength in order for them to develop further.
There are two possibilities: first, when Kong absorbed this external spirit bone, its age was relatively low, and it gradually grew to this level.
The second possibility is that when Kong absorbed this external spirit bone, it was already at this age!
Then, in order to absorb this external spirit bone, he must have absorbed the spirit ring of the spirit beast that dropped it!
No matter which possibility, could Kong's strength be anything less than overwhelming?
If Kong knew what Shui Ningshuang was thinking, he would probably twitch his mouth in disbelief. Well, wasn't it said that people on the Douluo Continent weren't that intelligent?
But just from an external spirit bone, Shui Ningshuang actually guessed the truth!
If it were an ordinary spirit bone, Shui Ningshuang wouldn't have been able to tell, but this wasn't just any ordinary spirit bone!
Qian Renxue, on the other hand, had nothing to say. She knew Kong's strength well and wouldn't waste her energy thinking so much.
As the fierce tornado blew towards him, Kong's lips curled slightly. Honestly, even if he didn't defend himself, this spirit skill wouldn't hurt him in the slightest.
The lightning he dealt with during training was far more powerful than this spirit skill.
Besides, ice attributes were utterly useless against Kong! He was immune to ice!
With his right claw raised in front of him, Kong calmly said, "(100,000-year) Spirit Bone Skill: Size Adjustment!"
As the dark golden light flashed, a claw about three meters long appeared in front of Kong, with five talons tightly pressed together, forming a shield-like structure.
*Size Adjustment:* Changes the size of the claw based on the amount of spirit power (elemental force) injected.
What saddened Kong was that it couldn't change the host's body size. If it could alter his body size, it wouldn't be called Size Adjustment anymore; it would be Heaven and Earth Transformation (with much weaker effects).
Kong wasn't too worried, though. Perhaps in his next evolution, it might just evolve into Heaven and Earth Transformation.
"Clang... Clang... Clang..."
The extreme cold storm struck the "shield" formed by the claw, producing a metallic clashing sound but causing no damage whatsoever.
Shui Ningshuang, Shui Bing'er, and Qian Renxue all twitched their eyebrows. They had never expected Kong to defend like this!
Wait, when did Kong change his shorts?
While the extreme cold storm was blocked, something left Kong speechless. This spirit bone was a hand bone, so while it could block attacks in front of him, his legs were still exposed...
His body wasn't harmed at all, but his clothing, though luxurious, had little to no defensive power!
Kong's mouth twitched—how could he have forgotten about this detail?
After thinking for a moment, Kong extended his three-meter-long claw right in front of Shui Yue'er, with the talon on his index finger gently resting against her neck.
"…"
Not only did Shui Yue'er feel numb, but even Shui Ningshuang and the others watching the battle were equally stunned.
What's with this guy?
Despite being ten meters away, his "weapon" had reached right in front of her!
Feeling the icy sharpness at her neck, Shui Yue'er didn't dare to move. One wrong move, and her life would be forfeit.
In the next instant, the threat at her neck vanished as Kong's right hand returned to its original form, indicating that he had withdrawn the external spirit bone.
"Miss Yue'er, for a Spirit Master at your level, your strength is quite commendable."
Kong chuckled lightly, speaking the truth.
After all, Shui Yue'er was the first Spirit Elder to "damage" his clothes!
Though part of it was due to his carelessness, Shui Yue'er's strength was still something to be acknowledged.
Shui Yue'er remained silent for a moment, staring at Kong as if he were some kind of monster.
He hadn't even used his martial soul. Relying on just one spirit bone, he had easily defeated her!
Looking at Kong's calf, Shui Yue'er's mind buzzed—she was utterly numb!
She knew full well the power of her own spirit skill. But despite its overwhelming force, it couldn't hurt him at all!
Shui Yue'er swallowed nervously, her usual lively demeanor now replaced by a dazed expression.
"In the same level as other Spirit Masters, I'm considered pretty good?"
Shui Yue'er was indeed a prodigy, reaching the level of Spirit Elder at such a young age, and in the future, she could aspire to become a Spirit Douluo.
As for becoming a Titled Douluo, her talent wasn't quite there yet, but Shui Bing'er had the potential.
"Miss Yue'er, what's wrong?"
Kong asked with a hint of confusion. Could Shui Yue'er have taken this defeat too hard?
Losing to him was only natural, wasn't it?
Losing depended on who you were facing. Losing to a fellow Spirit Master of the same level would be a blow to anyone's pride, but if you lost to the number one genius, who could really say anything?
Wasn't this the obvious outcome?
Hearing Kong's words, Shui Yue'er was momentarily stunned. She felt a little numb.
"Miss Yue'er, what's going on with you?"
Could she say that she was completely overwhelmed?
Comparisons between people can be so frustrating!
If Kong had fought seriously, she wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move—this was what Shui Yue'er believed, and of course, it was the truth.
Even without using spirit power (elemental force), Kong's physical strength alone wasn't something ordinary people or even regular Spirit Masters could compare to.
After undergoing a baptism by lightning, his physical attributes had reached a level unattainable by ordinary people.
Just with the strength of his body, his defense couldn't be breached by even most Spirit Douluos. If they couldn't even break through his defenses, his strength was self-evident.
"Spirit Masters on Douluo Continent are ultimately too weak. Instead of focusing on strengthening their own power, they rely too much on their martial spirits."
Without martial spirits, Spirit Masters would lose nine-tenths of their strength, with the remaining tenth coming from the enhancement provided by spirit rings. When absorbing spirit rings, the pressure exerted by the ring allows a Spirit Master's six basic attributes to improve.
Most Spirit Masters rely on absorbing spirit rings to grow stronger. Other than meditation, they know nothing else. Without their martial spirits, they are nothing!
"I-I'm fine."
Shui Yue'er blushed slightly as she responded.
Kong was simply too powerful; his strength was beyond anything she could comprehend.
Without using his martial spirit or spirit power, and relying solely on one spirit bone, he was already too much for her to handle.
Her third spirit skill didn't even scratch him. That alone was enough to show how terrifying Kong was!
"Hiss..."
Shui Yue'er inhaled sharply. She and Kong truly belonged to two different worlds!
