The Green Vine, indeed, is known as a gentle spirit beast—or rather, an ordinary one with a few distinctive traits. Its greatest strength lies in its resilience and its minimal requirements for survival.

With just soil, water, and sunlight, the Green Vine can take root and grow rapidly, selecting a tall tree to climb and intertwine with in a symbiotic relationship. It embodies a quiet life, avoiding conflicts. Even if spirit beasts or spirit masters pass nearby, it never initiates an attack. For those unfamiliar with it, the Green Vine is easily overlooked.

This particular vine had been growing quietly on the forest outskirts for many years, undisturbed—until today, when it encountered a Wild Boar King from the forest's core. With its tough hide and immense strength, the Green Vine's entangling abilities were no match for it, and it could do little to stop the Boar King.

In the end, it was inadvertently claimed as Li Wang's first spirit ring.

At this moment, within Li Wang's body, the Green Vine's spirit power, while vast, was gentle. Li Wang's spirit power, although weaker, was more dominant. Having honed his body, the process of subduing the spirit ring went smoothly.

Gradually, his consciousness sank, and he found himself within his dantian, amidst a lake formed by spirit power, where his Blue Silver Grass was absorbing the energy, growing steadily. Beyond spirit power, he sensed something else being absorbed.

"Is this inner vision? This is my dantian! This is my martial spirit—my source of spirit power..."

A surge of excitement shot through Li Wang as he observed the changes in his Blue Silver Grass. Its stem thickened, and its leaves grew lush. Previously, the grass measured between two to three fingers wide, but now it had grown to a full five fingers in width, with its structure resembling more of a vine, likely due to the Green Vine spirit ring's influence.

He recalled Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, which had only reached three fingers in width after absorbing a spirit ring. Clearly, his Level 2 Blue Silver Grass, evolved beyond Tang San's unawakened version, held a distinct advantage.

Li Wang wasn't sure how much time had passed, but as soon as he absorbed the ring's power and the spirit energy released from his body's breakthrough, he awoke.

He felt invigorated as never before.

Rising to his feet, Li Wang stretched, his body crackling with newfound strength. He had grown taller, now nearly matching Wang Sheng's height. Broad-shouldered and upright, he no longer resembled a child of humble origin.

Most importantly, his eyes shone with vitality. Eyes, as the windows to one's spirit, reflected his vigorous, robust energy and lively spirit.

Immediately, he accessed his panel:

*[Host: Li Wang]*

*[Martial Spirit: Blue Silver Grass Lv2 (Evolving)]*

*[Spirit Power: Level 13 (24%) +]*

*[Trait: Vitality Lv2 (Found throughout the continent, the Blue Silver Grass, though weak, possesses considerable life force, allowing it to recover slowly when injured.)]*

*[Passive: Resilience Lv2 (What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. After enduring any abnormal state, if survival is achieved, his constitution will strengthen accordingly.)]*

*[Spirit Ring: First Spirit Ring (Equipped)]*

*[Spirit Bone: None]*

*[Combat Experience: 0]*

Upon seeing the panel, Li Wang noticed his spirit power had reached Level 13, bringing him great joy, though this wasn't his primary focus.

With a thought, he tapped on the "Evolving" next to his martial spirit, and a new screen appeared:

*[Lv2—>Lv3 Life Origin (5/20)]*

This information led Li Wang to ponder. The absorption of the spirit ring had increased his Life Origin, suggesting that spirit rings could enhance his martial spirit. However, absorbing a hundred-year spirit ring only added five points. If he guessed correctly, his Blue Silver Grass would need a thousand-year spirit ring upon reaching Level 30 to undergo its next evolution.

For now, with only Level 13 power, reaching Level 30 felt like a daunting goal, yet he believed the panel would help him achieve it before too long.

With renewed confidence, he returned to the previous screen and inspected his first spirit ring, tapping to explore further.

The display shifted again:

*[Spirit Skill: Growth (Releases spirit power to instantly cultivate a large amount of Blue Silver Vines, controllable at will.)]*

*[Origin: Green Vine (A plant spirit beast found commonly in forests, capable of coexisting with other plants.)]*

*[Age: 404 (+)]*

It wasn't a simple binding skill—Growth… Li Wang's thoughts raced. If he could freely control the vines, he could use them for whipping, binding—anything he needed.

Hunting down that Green Vine had definitely been worth it, truly worth it.

This vine had lived for 404 years. In terms of age, it was hardly weaker than Tang San's Datura Snake. And even more amazing… it could be upgraded…

Li Wang was stunned by the possibilities. His panel could actually enhance the age of his spirit ring. This could mean that, if he reached the level of Title Douluo…

He could possess nine ten-thousand-year spirit rings—or even nine hundred-thousand-year spirit rings. A million-year spirit ring, or even tens of millions of years, might not be impossible.

A spirit beast of a million years was already considered a divine beast.

If he obtained a million-year spirit ring, he might achieve godhood through his physical body alone—not by inheriting a god's position or gathering faith, but by ascending through his own strength, unbound and utterly free.

Calm… calm…

Li Wang kept telling himself this. As a mere spirit master with Level 13 power, he shouldn't be thinking so far ahead.

But his excitement was impossible to hide.

Just then, Zhang Wei walked over, smiling. He wasn't surprised to see Li Wang's enthusiasm and commented, "It took you two hours to absorb that spirit ring. Looks like it was a good harvest for you!"

Li Wang closed the panel and responded happily, "Yes, thank you, Dean!"

Zhang Wei knew of Li Wang. After all, besides Tang San and Xiao Wu, Li Wang was the only first-year with spirit power at Level 10—a remarkable talent, though his martial spirit was somewhat lacking. Still, he was curious about what skill a hundred-year spirit ring might bring him. "So, what spirit skill did you get?"

Li Wang maintained his simple smile and, with a hint of deception, replied:

"Binding. The more targets I try to bind, the more spirit power it consumes. But generally, it doesn't take much."

Zhang Wei had helped him acquire a hundred-year spirit ring, and Li Wang felt grateful to him. However, since Zhang Wei was close with Yu Xiaogang, Li Wang didn't intend for Yu Xiaogang to learn the true nature of his skill.

Hearing that it was a binding skill, Zhang Wei didn't question it and smiled, "That's a very useful skill. Now, let's rejoin the group. It's getting late, and we need to find a campsite."

Li Wang nodded, replying, "Understood, Dean."
