Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, VIP Stand.
Sword Douluo used the Sound Compression technique to speak to Ning Fengzhi, "Fengzhi, in that Shrek Team, the aura of the girl with the Soft Bones Rabbit Martial Soul is unusual."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, the expression on his elegant face tightening as he replied in the same manner:
"Uncle Jian, what do you mean by that?"
Chen Xin's transmission continued, carrying a hint of excitement.
"Though that young girl has a human form, she exudes the aura of a Spirit Beast. Therefore, I can say with certainty that she is absolutely a hundred thousand year Spirit Beast in human form."
Ning Fengzhi's pupils suddenly constricted, but with his ability to control his emotions, it was naturally impossible for him to show any abnormality; his expression remained calm and composed.
However, his heartbeat couldn't help but quicken by a few beats.
A Transformed Spirit Beast—this represented a wild hundred thousand year spirit ring plus a hundred thousand year spirit bone.
"Uncle Jian, you are already a Rank 96 Titled Douluo. If you can absorb this hundred thousand year spirit bone, you might be able to reach Rank 97 in one fell swoop."
Not every Titled Douluo possessed a Spirit Bone. Even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was wealthy and powerful, Spirit Bones were things that could only be encountered by luck and not sought after.
Thus, even Sword Douluo's set of Spirit Bones was not complete; he was still missing a torso bone and a right arm bone.
Of course, there was another reason.
With Sword Douluo's current strength, he looked down upon Spirit Bones below the ten-thousand-year level. Otherwise, with the capabilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it wouldn't be difficult to help him obtain a thousand-year torso bone and right arm bone.
"Hahahaha, if I reach Rank 97, I'm afraid that old guy Bone Douluo will die of envy."
Ning Fengzhi's tone was elegant.
"No matter. Uncle Bone has performed great services for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I will do whatever it takes to help him complete a full set of Spirit Bones. I can't guarantee hundred-thousand-year ones, but it's not impossible to find thirty or fifty-thousand-year Spirit Bones."
At this moment, Salas, who was not far away, suddenly laughed sinisterly, "School Master Ning, I wonder what you are discussing privately with His Excellency Sword Douluo? I see you two seem to be chatting quite enthusiastically."
Sound Compression was essentially a way of using spirit power. Although outsiders could not hear the content of the conversation, they could feel the fluctuation of spirit power.
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly, a hint of coldness in his calm tone.
"Bishop Salas, you seem to be overstepping your bounds."
Sword Douluo cast a sharp glance toward Salas even more casually.
In the next instant, Salas suddenly felt a burst of stabbing pain in his eyes, as if they were being pricked by needles.
He glanced at Sword Douluo with wariness from the corner of his eye, his face returning to a smile.
"Hehe, it was my rudeness. Please don't take offense, School Master Ning."
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly and did not respond.
After a while, he stood up, gave Emperor Xue Ye an apologetic smile, and said, "Your Majesty, there are still many affairs within the Sect that I need to handle. I'm afraid I must take my leave first."
Emperor Xue Ye laughed heartily and said, "The affairs of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are important. Go ahead."
"Then I shall excuse myself!"
To the side, Qian Renxue stood up.
"Teacher, your Disciple will see you out!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly.
"Qinghe, you are very thoughtful!"
The group of three quickly left the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
Before leaving, Ning Fengzhi smiled elegantly.
"Qinghe, if you have time, you should often come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to sit and have tea with your teacher."
"Since Teacher invites me, your Disciple naturally will not refuse," Qian Renxue laughed.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled and turned to leave.
Watching his receding back, Qian Renxue touched her chin, her brow furrowing slightly.
Theoretically, the Heaven Dou Vice Team where Ning Rongrong was located had just won the first match with overwhelming force. Yet, as Ning Rongrong's father, Ning Fengzhi did not go to find Ning Rongrong immediately but instead left early.
There was likely something unknown happening here.
What happened?
On the way, Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, "Uncle Jian, this matter should not be blown out of proportion. Otherwise, once it reaches the ears of Spirit Hall, it will inevitably cause many unnecessary troubles."
Sword Douluo smiled faintly, "No matter. With my strength, I can infiltrate Shrek and take the person away without anyone noticing anything unusual."
"Uncle Jian, then I'll leave this matter to you."
...Shrek Academy.
Tang San and Yu Tianheng had woken up one after another, but both looked listless, appearing heavily demoralized.
They had thought that by relying on the ability of the Flying Mushroom Sausage, Dugu Yan would have no way to deal with them.
They never expected that once the latter got serious, she would suppress them with just a single move.
In the distance, Flender looked at the two's dejected states, frowned, and said to Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, it won't do if they continue like this!"
Liu Erlong stood by the side. With her fiery temper, she looked at the dejected and downcast Tang San and Yu Tianheng and said bluntly, "It's just losing one match, they'll be fine after a while. I'm actually more worried about that child Mubai."
Mentioning Dai Mubai, a flash of pity appeared on Liu Erlong's face.
To have his egg exploded at such a young age—luckily they didn't both explode, otherwise no matter how open-minded Dai Mubai was, he would probably go crazy.
Hearing this, a bitter smile surfaced on Flender's face.
He was also worrying about this matter.
Yu Xiaogang then spoke up.
"Leave the counseling of Little San and Tianheng to me."
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang strode toward the direction where the two were.
"Teacher!"
"Uncle!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang approach, both Tang San and Yu Tianheng called out respectfully.
However, since they were injured, their voices sounded weak.
"Little San, Tianheng, I watched your match. Although you lost, it wasn't your fault. It can only be said that Dugu Yan hid herself too deeply."
Mentioning Dugu Yan, Tang San and Yu Tianheng both fell silent.
Yu Tianheng's expression was lost as he said, "Uncle, is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul really the world's number one Beast Spirit? But why is the gap between Dugu Yan and me so large?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned and barked out.
"Tianheng, it's time you face reality!"
"I've said long ago that there are no trash spirits, only trash Spirit Masters. You are still immersed in the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon even now, yet you never know how to analyze where exactly you fall short compared to Dugu Yan."
Yu Tianheng had listened to his uncle since he was a child. Now being scolded by his uncle, he immediately trembled and then looked at Yu Xiaogang as if for help.
"Uncle, then tell me, where exactly is the difference between Dugu Yan and me?"
A look of wisdom flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "I have summarized two points."
"Which two points?" Yu Tianheng asked urgently.
Yu Xiaogang was unhurried and held up one finger.
"First, it is naturally because you haven't taken any Spirit Medicine, resulting in your spirit power being unable to match hers."
Hearing this, Yu Tianheng's face darkened.
He wanted Spirit Medicine too, but the problem was he didn't have any!
At this point, Yu Xiaogang held up a second finger, and his voice also grew heavier.
"Second, it is because you do not have a Self-Created Spirit Skill."
Yu Tianheng was stunned and looked at Yu Xiaogang curiously.
Seeing this, a look of confidence appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.
"I noticed this long ago. Look at the members of the Heaven Dou Vice Team; isn't it true that basically everyone has mastered a Self-Created Spirit Skill?"
Yu Tianheng nodded.
The corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth curled up, and his voice intensified.
"That's exactly it. It is precisely because they have mastered Self-Created Spirit Skills that their combat power is so formidable, allowing them to defeat opponents across several Ranks."
"Not to mention them, every time you spar with Little San, didn't those Self-Created Spirit Skills of his also cause you a lot of trouble?"
Yu Tianheng suddenly realized.
"It really is so."
Yu Xiaogang said proudly, "That's right. So Tianheng, do you now know where the difference between you and Dugu Yan lies?"
Yu Tianheng instantly regained his Spirit.
"Uncle, I've realized it!"
"I'm just missing a Self-Created Spirit Skill now. As long as I can create a Self-Created Spirit Skill and then Breakthrough to become a Spirit King, Dugu Yan will definitely not be my match."
Clap, clap, clap!
Yu Xiaogang clapped his hands with satisfaction, a gratified smile appearing on his face.
"A student worth teaching!"
"Alright, go and think about it carefully. Little San, you come with me!"
"Yes, Teacher!"
Not long after, the master and Disciple arrived in a grove of trees.
Yu Xiaogang stood with his back to Tang San, his hands behind his back, taking the initiative with a single sentence.
"Little San, you have disappointed me greatly!"
Tang San was instantly stunned by Yu Xiaogang's words and subconsciously said, "Teacher, your Disciple lost the match and has brought shame to you."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head.
"Little San, you are wrong. My disappointment is not because you lost the match."
"Then it is?" Tang San looked puzzled.
At this time, Yu Xiaogang turned around and let out a long sigh.
"The reason I am disappointed is that you would actually be so dejected just because you lost a match. This is not the Disciple I remember."
Tang San was stunned, staring blankly at Yu Xiaogang.
"Little San, you are only Rank 38. Isn't it normal to lose to Dugu Yan, who is over Rank 50?"
"What is there to be dejected about?"
Tang San was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Teacher, my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul cannot compare to other plant Spirits in terms of toughness, and it cannot compare to Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Serpent in terms of poison. The limitations of a trash spirit are becoming more and more obvious."
"Tell me, if I were to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer now..."
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Before Tang San could finish, he was immediately interrupted by Yu Xiaogang's stern voice.
Yu Xiaogang pointed at Tang San's nose in frustration, the expression on his face even looking a bit distorted.
"Little San, you have truly disappointed me too much."
"Do you know that once you switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, then all your previous efforts will have been completely in vain?"
"But..." Tang San hesitated; he now felt an extreme dislike for the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
Although his attack power was not weak after successively absorbing three poison-attribute spirit rings, its toughness was extremely poor, and it was also countered by fire-attribute Spirit Masters.
If he didn't use the Tang Sect Ultimate Skills, Tang San even doubted if he would necessarily be Ma Hongjun's match.
Because Ma Hongjun's evil fire was too terrifying; as long as it touched his Blue Silver Grass, it could instantly burn his Blue Silver Grass to ashes.
Yu Xiaogang said solemnly, "Have you forgotten what I told you? After your Clear Sky Hammer is added with nine ten-thousand-year spirit rings, and all kinds of power are added together, how can ordinary Spirit Masters compare?"
"At that time, will Dugu Yan be able to withstand a single hammer blow from you?"
A struggle flashed in Tang San's eyes. He really wanted to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer at this time, then show off his Divine Might in the Spirit Arena tournament and wipe away his previous humiliation.
However, Yu Xiaogang's words instantly made him sober up.
He must endure!
Endure until he becomes a Titled Douluo, then start absorbing spirit rings.
At that time, he would surely be invincible, just as his teacher said!
Yu Xiaogang looked at the struggle on Tang San's face and waited calmly.
He believed his Disciple would definitely think it through!
Sure enough, after a long while.
Tang San said with a firm expression, "Teacher, I understand. I will definitely listen to you and Cultivate the Blue Silver Grass until I am a Titled Douluo."
"Hahahaha, this is truly my, Yu Xiaogang's, Disciple!"
Yu Xiaogang laughed with satisfaction and a face full of gratification, then teased:
"Since you have already come to your senses, then hurry up and go accompany Xiao Wu. Seeing you like that just now, I saw she was almost worried to death about you."
Tang San suddenly realized, but then his face turned red as he hurriedly said to Yu Xiaogang, "Then Teacher, I'll go find Xiao Wu first."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Looking at him like this, Yu Xiaogang shook his head and smiled.
This is probably the love between young people; it's really enviable.
If Erlong weren't my own cousin, how great would that be?
Liu Erlong's beautiful face and exquisite figure surfaced in Yu Xiaogang's mind.
How could he not know Liu Erlong's feelings for him?
It was just that he really couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart!
Fortunately... Erlong was still waiting for him!
After Tang San left, he immediately ran toward the direction of Xiao Wu's dormitory, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face... In the quiet grove, the twilight glow passed through the shade and fell upon Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu had just finished bathing, her small face looking pink and white, making one really want to take a bite.
Such a thought flashed through Tang San's mind, but he immediately shook his head in a hurry.
Although the relationship between him and Xiao Wu had progressed rapidly because of Tai Tan a while ago, they still hadn't completely formalized their relationship.
So let alone kissing, even holding hands was rare.
After all, to the outside world, they were still brother and sister.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San's hesitant appearance, pouted, and gave him a reproachful glare.
Sigh, how is Third Brother as timid as his teacher!
However, seeing Tang San pull himself together again, Xiao Wu was still very happy.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in their sight.
Seeing the newcomer, Xiao Wu looked puzzled, as he seemed unfamiliar.
However, Tang San subconsciously let out a cry of surprise, a look of wild joy appearing on his face.
"Dad, why are you here!"
"Dad?" Xiao Wu was startled and hurriedly looked at the newcomer.
She saw this person wearing a tattered black robe, tall and burly, but with a scruffy beard and looking very unkempt.
Xiao Wu could not find any way to connect the person before her with Tang San.
"Little San, I know you have many doubts. I will explain to you in a moment," Tang Hao said in a deep voice.
"I understand, Dad." Tang San reacted quickly, immediately guessing that something important had happened, otherwise his dad would not have suddenly appeared.
A while ago, he had already learned of his father's identity from Tai Tan's mouth.
The continent's youngest Titled Douluo, Tang Hao!
Tang Hao's gaze was sharp as a knife as it suddenly swept toward a certain spot.
"Sword Douluo, since you're here, why hide and be so secretive?"
"This would damage your reputation as Sword Dao Chen Xin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-robed figure slowly walked out from the distant grove.
Sword Douluo's gaze lingered on Tang Hao for a moment, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
"I didn't expect that the Clear Sky Douluo, who has been hidden for over ten years, would actually be hiding in this tiny Shrek Academy."
In the darkness, within a patch of shadow.
Two figures were watching this scene with great interest.
The two were precisely Yang Yuan and Dugu Bo.
It was just that their concealment ability was extremely high; even Tang Hao and Sword Douluo hadn't noticed anything unusual.
And this was merely a small trick of Yang Yuan's.
"This old fellow Chen Xin came really fast. It looks like he's determined to get this Transformed Spirit Beast."
"Heh, Tang Hao came out too. This kid was taught a lesson by me a while ago; looking at his appearance now, he's recovered quite well."
"This Transformed Spirit Beast should be something Tang Hao is raising to save for his son, right?"
"This wishful thinking is really loud; he not only wants the Spirit Bone but also wants the spirit ring."
"Now..."
"There's a good show to watch!"
