Listening to Hu Bai's explanation, Xie Tian and Hu Le Yao finally understood. Their son, due to an ancestral Bloodline Awakening in his Spirit, innately possessed some of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox's inherent abilities.
As such, focusing solely on mental control was indeed not a wise choice.
However, Hu Le Yao was still a little worried: "Bai'er, we understand your idea, but your choice might leave you neither here nor there. Why not choose one natural element to specialize in?"
Xie Tian also agreed, chiming in: "Although you can control many natural elements, you are most affinity with the fire element. Why don't you specialize in the fire element? The fire element is also quite suitable for a strong offense, and you are born with Charm, which can serve as an assist. Charming opponents during an attack is also a very good path."
How could he not understand the thoughts of Xie Tian and Hu Le Yao?
But he was a Transmigrator, a Rebirth! If it was just such a simple path, would that truly be enough?
The Spirit he awakened was the Divine Beast Nine-tailed Sky Fox! Even if it was a bit harder, he would make the Nine-tailed Sky Fox's name for battle renowned and shine brightly across the Continent!
"Father, Mother, please allow me to be willful this time. I want to try my idea. What if I succeed? I believe in the wisdom my Spirit has granted me. One spirit ring represents one elemental power. When I Cultivate to the Late Stage, I can even try multi-elemental Fusion.
As for the missing Spirit Ability, I am confident I can create new Spirit Abilities with my own power!"
Hu Bai looked at them both solemnly. Xie Tian and Hu Le Yao were his parents in this life, and he yearned for his Family's support.
In his previous life, his parents died when he was young, and he only managed to attend university through various government subsidies. So, coming to this World in this life, he hoped his parents would be well and that he could receive the support he deserved!
"Father, Mother, please agree to younger brother (older brother)!" Xie Yue and Hu Liena spoke simultaneously.
Xie Yue said lightly: "Even if younger brother fails, so what? With me, his older brother, standing in front of him, our three talents are not weak, and we have no burdens. Why can't we let younger brother walk the path he desires?"
Looking at Xie Yue's serious expression, Xie Tian and Hu Le Yao both fell silent, and Hu Bai's eyes were also very complex. Finally, four words escaped his lips: "Thank you, Big Brother!"
This was the first time Xie Yue had seen Hu Bai show such genuine emotion. While he was excited, he became even more determined: as an older brother, he must stand in front of his younger siblings!
This was what a real man was!
Actually, this wasn't Hu Bai's fault. He had memories of his previous life since birth, meaning his thoughts were twenty years older than Xie Yue's. Asking him to sincerely call the child in front of him 'older brother' was indeed a bit difficult.
But now, he truly recognized Xie Yue. He already had a good impression of the Xie Yue in the original novel, a standard good older brother. Xie Yue would always stand firmly in front of Hu Liena, no matter what. This kind of unconditional family affection was truly good!
Xie Tian looked at the three little ones in front of him and sighed heavily: "Alright, in that case, your mother and I will take Bai'er to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts tomorrow. As for Yue'er and Nana, you need to stay at the mansion to attract attention, especially Nana. Recently, the Supreme Pontiff might look for you. You need to cover for your older brother as much as possible!"
Xie Tian's action was clearly a plan to act first and report later. As long as they got Hu Bai his first spirit ring before Bibi Dong, even Bibi Dong would probably have to accept it and re-evaluate Hu Bai's Cultivation direction.
At that time, the two of them would receive some punishment, more or less, but it would definitely not be too severe. After all, his son had Innate Full spirit power, and if he didn't die young, he was guaranteed to become a Titled Douluo!
For this alone, the two of them, as Hu Bai's parents, would be fine.
"Then what attribute Spirit Beast do you want to absorb for your first spirit ring? Your current highest affinity element is fire. Do you want to hunt a fire-attribute Spirit Beast?" Xie Tian asked.
According to Hu Bai's own perception, absorbing a Spirit Beast of a certain attribute would greatly enhance his control over that element. In Xie Tian's view, the fire element was most suitable.
However, Hu Bai pondered for a moment and then shook his head: "If possible, I want a lightning-attribute Spirit Beast. The rarer the Bloodline, the better!"
Xie Tian frowned slightly: "Why? Didn't you say the lightning element was too violent for you to control?"
Hu Bai replied: "That's true, but with the Sky Fox Domain's enhancement, I can barely control it. If I add a spirit ring, then there will be no problem. I have an idea for choosing a lightning-attribute Spirit Beast for my first spirit ring: I want to undergo lightning body tempering!"
"What!"
"No, no! That's too dangerous! Do you know what you're saying? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan uses the lightning attribute the most on the Continent, but have you seen them use lightning for body tempering? One careless mistake, and you could suffer a backlash!"
Hu Bai's eyes, however, gleamed with fanaticism: "Do they even count as controlling lightning? They only rely on spirit rings. I have Innate elemental affinity and Domain enhancement. How can they compare to me?!"
At this moment, Hu Bai's Domain expanded again, and several strands of lightning surged around him, looking extremely confident, like a God of Thunder descending!
Early the next morning, Xie Tian hired a carriage, and the three of them sat inside, heading directly out of the city.
Here, the three of them subtly disguised their faces, and with Hu Le Yao's subtle Charm guidance, those guarding the city gates didn't notice anything unusual.
After leaving Spirit City for some distance, Xie Tian exchanged the carriage for three swift horses in a nearby town. The three of them rode the horses, galloping directly towards the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest!
After several days of travel, the three finally arrived at the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest. They stopped at a nearby tavern to rest and recover their stamina, preparing to enter the next day to search for a suitable lightning-attribute Spirit Beast.
This first spirit ring was extremely important to Hu Bai. They would try their best to find a lightning-attribute Spirit Beast with a rare Bloodline. The purer the lightning attribute contained within the Spirit Beast, the greater the benefit for Hu Bai!
Unfortunately, in Hu Bai's impression, there was no such thing as an ultimate lightning Spirit Beast. Otherwise, even if it meant reducing the age limit of the first spirit ring, he would want to absorb it!
For him, the purity of a Spirit Beast's inherent attribute was more important than the Spirit Beast's Cultivation age!
The spirit ring's age might have a chance to be increased later, but once a spirit ring is absorbed, changing it is not so easy!
And among Spirit Beasts, those with relatively pure lightning attributes would likely be sub-Dragon Spirit Beasts with lightning attributes and a trace of true Dragon Bloodline. However, Hu Bai still felt this wasn't good enough, and in his impression, there was a plant-type Spirit Beast that was very suitable.
