Ning Rongrong's words left everyone present in silence.
Even now, when they recalled Yu Xiaogang's experience of absorbing his First Soul Ring, the first thought that surfaced in their minds was the same two words.
Madman!
Only a madman would make such a choice.
Now, hearing this bit of common knowledge from Ning Rongrong, everyone couldn't help but ask themselves.
If they wanted to obtain the same type of Spirit Ability as Yu Xiaogang, did they have the same death-defying determination as he did?
Thinking of this, everyone fell silent.
They didn't.
Among those present, perhaps only Zhu Zhuqing would have such determination if pushed to a dead end.
"You're talking nonsense,"
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward to rebuke Ning Rongrong upon seeing everyone's silence.
"I also come from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and have even visited Spirit Hall's library to read books. Why have I never known about this?"
"Also, since you've put it that way, why are your spirit rings all of conventional ages?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes.
"Please, this information is usually the kind of knowledge elders share with their Juniors while taking them for Soul Hunting."
"For instance, my knowledge was told to me by Grandpa Bone and Grandpa Sword when they took me Soul Hunting."
"So, may I ask, Great Master, who did you go with when you went Soul Hunting?"
With one sentence, Yu Xiaogang's face turned the color of pig liver.
Who had he gone Soul Hunting with?
For his First Soul Ring, because he insisted on having his own way, he ran away from home and chose a Soul Hunting Squad.
For his Second Soul Ring, his father had simply arranged someone for him.
Therefore, he never had the chance to hear such knowledge from his own kin.
"As for my spirit rings being of conventional ages..."
At this point, Ning Rongrong gave Yu Xiaogang a look of disdain.
"I'd like to ask, could a higher age turn my amplification Spirit Ability into some Heaven-Defying Spirit Ability?"
"It would do nothing more than make the amplification percentage a bit higher."
"But the problem is, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit doesn't lack that bit of value."
"Every time we increase a major Rank, the amplification percentage increases automatically."
"Risking death to increase a tiny, insignificant value?"
"Great Master, why do you think we would do something so thankless and laborious?"
Ning Rongrong's words left Yu Xiaogang speechless.
After all, the Spirit Abilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were simple and clear; the direction of the support was determined by the strengths of the Spirit Beast the spirit ring was attached to.
Defense-type Spirit Beasts increased defense, power-attack type Spirit Beasts increased attack power, speed-type Spirit Beasts increased speed...
The Spirit Abilities were basically fixed; they were pure values, and values that increased continuously as the Rank rose.
Under these circumstances, it seemed the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly had no need to pursue high-age spirit rings.
Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, wanting to continue arguing, but seeing Ning Rongrong's smiling expression—clearly ready to retort no matter what he said—he could only sit there with a dark face, seething with anger.
Others saw Yu Xiaogang rendered speechless by the rebuttal, and Ning Rongrong's explanation didn't seem like a lie.
Immediately, the crowd could only close their mouths in disappointment.
They were still clear about their own situations. Risking their lives like Yu Xiaogang to obtain spirit rings with ages far exceeding their limits of endurance?
Don't be ridiculous.
With the talent of this group of people, there was absolutely no need to be so desperate.
If they died because they were too desperate, that would be a huge loss.
[The video continues...]
[Although he felt it was absurd in his heart, he couldn't help the fact that his Young Sect Master had made all these absurd things a reality.]
[So in the end, Lin Lang could only praise Yu Xiaogang's intelligence and talent.]
[After experiencing Yu Xiaogang's applications of Mental Energy one by one, Lin Lang described his true feelings to Yu Xiaogang.]
[Having completed these, Lin Lang also asked Yu Xiaogang for advice on the use of Mental Energy.]
[Other things aside, he was very envious of that ability to create hallucinations during battle.]
[If he could also master such an ability, he could confuse his opponents when fighting others, thereby reversing the course of battle.]
[Regarding Lin Lang's inquiry, Yu Xiaogang did not hold back.]
[He explained his applications in this area to Lin Lang in detail, and even took out a notebook on the spot to write down many key points.]
[Handing the key points to Lin Lang, Yu Xiaogang instructed him on how to Cultivate and how to use them during battle.]
[In short, Yu Xiaogang could be said to have been very diligent in this teaching.]
[For a period of time after that, days were spent in this kind of atmosphere.]
[Daily Cultivation, mutual sparring, theoretical research...]
[All sorts of things kept Yu Xiaogang so busy that his feet barely touched the ground; yet even though he was so busy, Yu Xiaogang still felt that time was insufficient.]
[He wasn't like this before, was he? Clearly, he used to find ways to slack off whenever possible, so how had he become a 'king of grinding' now?]
[In the end, Yu Xiaogang could only lament that being busy for oneself and being busy for others were truly worlds apart.]
[While Yu Xiaogang was immersed in various matters, Heaven Dou City was also a gathering of elites.]
[Various advanced Spirit Master academies belonging to the surrounding cities of the Heaven Dou Empire dispatched their elites to Heaven Dou City one after another.]
[There were high-level Spirit Master academies that were very famous themselves, such as the Elemental Academy, the Plant Academy, and the Variant Beast Academy, as well as some Spirit Master academies with names that weren't well-known.]
[These students gathered in Heaven Dou City, waiting for the day the tournament would open.]
[And besides these academies, the number of powerhouses who came to watch the matches this time was also unprecedentedly high.]
[The reason could be known without even thinking; these people were basically here to join in the fun.]
[The conflict between the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Clear Sky Sect back then had the overt reason that the Strength Clan had attacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's Young Sect Master, Yu Xiaogang.]
[Spirit Hall also made things difficult for the Strength Clan on the grounds that the Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji's Disciple, Bibi Dong, had also been attacked.]
[So everyone investigated the situation.]
[Well then, the son of Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen enrolled in Spirit Hall Academy, formed the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team, and came to the Heaven Dou Competition Zone to participate with the Vice-Captain Bibi Dong.]
[On the way, members of the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team participated in Spirit Fighting, and somehow the saying that Yu Xiaogang was the number one person of the younger generation spread out.]
[Consequently, Tai Nuo, the son of the sect master of the Strength Clan who admired Tang Hao, went forward to provoke him and was crippled by Yu Xiaogang.]
[The Strength Clan was protective of its own, so Tai Tan gathered his good brothers to seek revenge, but unexpectedly, Tai Tan's father, the previous Clan Chief of the Strength Clan, Tai Shan, also went.]
[Now, everything was cleared up.]
[It turned out that everything was just trouble stirred up by a brainless fool with nothing better to do.]
[Having learned the course of events, various forces gathered their Family members overnight, telling them to discipline their Juniors well, lest the Clear Sky Sect's situation happen to them one day.]
[They weren't a great power like the Clear Sky Sect; the Clear Sky Sect could survive such an event, but they might not.]
[And after learning everything, those who were eager to get involved with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, which had become the worlds number one sect, but had no way to do so because of their strict requirements, suddenly had their eyes light up.]
[With his son participating in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, the Thunder Douluo, as a father, should surely go to watch, right?]
[When the time came, they might be able to strike up a conversation with him.]
[Furthermore, this son of the Thunder Douluo was also very extraordinary, and it would be very good to get on good terms with him as well.]
[So for a time, people harboring various purposes gathered in Heaven Dou City.]
