Afterward, Ning Rongrong seemed to recall something and looked at Zhu Zhuqing: "Zhuqing, your Spirit has evolved; it's no longer the Hell Civet. Does this mean our Martial Soul Fusion Skill is ineffective now?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded: "It should be, but that's fine. With Teacher's guidance, my current strength means I don't need to rely on others at all. I just want to be myself now!"
"Oh, right, Teacher, I'm already at fifty ranks. Shouldn't I get a suitable spirit ring? This god-bestowed spirit ring can condense up to 100,000-Year ones; I don't want to use it so quickly."
However, after saying that, Ning Rongrong suddenly remembered that among them, Xiao Wu was a Spirit Beast in human form.
It didn't matter that she didn't know before, but now that she knew, would the other party mind?
Xiao Wu felt Ning Rongrong's gaze and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Moreover, there was nothing she could do about it. Having followed Teacher for so long, she knew that the only way to change all of this was to become powerful herself.
Lin Yuan nodded: "Alright, three days should be enough time for you to hunt a suitable Spirit Beast. And since your Grandpa Sword is here, I'll let them in this time."
Meanwhile, outside the courtyard, the tightly closed gate suddenly opened by itself.
Dugu Bo saw it and chuckled: "Let's go, the Little freak knows we're here. Sword Douluo, this time... you probably won't need to break through the sword array."
"If you want to spar with the Little freak, now's your chance."
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow at Chen Xin, joking.
Chen Xin's mouth twitched: "Challenge him? I'm not worthy. Rongrong said he's only twenty-five, yet he possesses such power; it's truly terrifying!"
Actually, besides wanting to see Rongrong, he really did have the thought of sparring with Lin Yuan this time.
But the moment that ranking list came out, he knew there was no need to spar.
The gap was too wide!
With Lin Yuan's strength, even if his grandfather were still alive, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single sword strike from Lin Yuan.
However, since he had already come, he might as well ask Lin Yuan for his views on the continent's situation.
After all, he hadn't expected Tang Chen, who had disappeared for so many years, to still be alive.
Whether this was good or bad for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was still hard to say.
After all, Fengzhi had said that the Upper Three Sects needed to be united, but were they truly united?
..."Grandpa Sword, you're here!" Ning Rongrong ran over to greet Chen Xin when she saw him.
Chen Xin gently stroked Ning Rongrong's hair and smiled: "Rongrong, you've become much stronger."
Then, Chen Xin casually glanced at Xiao Wu, who was standing beside Lin Yuan.
Is this the 100,000-Year Spirit Beast in human form revealed by the heavenly screen?
With his cultivation, he couldn't even tell.
It seems this must be a method Lin Yuan applied to her.
And Xiao Wu's perception was very keen; she naturally felt the gazes from Chen Xin and even Dugu Bo, but she showed no fear at all.
After all, Teacher was here!
Lin Yuan chuckled: "Sword Douluo, this is your first time entering my academy, isn't it? How about a tour?"
"Or do you want to spar with me?"
Chen Xin said with a bitter smile: "Dean Lin, I just came to see Rongrong, and incidentally, I wanted to ask for your opinion on the current situation on the continent."
Lin Yuan said lazily: "My opinion? I'll watch while lying down. As long as those forces don't bother me, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to quietly become a god; I don't want to manage anything else."
"Of course, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is Rongrong's Sect after all. If you encounter a crisis that threatens your Sect's existence, you can bring your people here for refuge. At a critical moment, I can save your lives."
Chen Xin was also a smart person; he knew Lin Yuan's words were very clear.
Trying to use Rongrong's connection to make him side with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or even oppose Spirit Hall, was probably impossible.
Now, being able to get such a promise from him could be considered a good thing.
At least, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still had a fallback.
There was nothing else to do; the strength of Spirit Hall exposed by the heavenly screen was too powerful, and there was also Tang Chen.
Although he and Gu Rong were in the Sect, his heart was full of a sense of crisis.
However, Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin didn't have as many concerns as Chen Xin.
Dugu Bo directly said: "Little freak, I'll just live here for this period, alright?"
Lin Yuan said: "Sure, your room has always been reserved for you. It's fine for you to stay here and retire. Besides, it's probably not peaceful outside right now, so you should honestly stay in the academy."
Dugu Bo pouted: "After your treatment, although my Spirit hasn't evolved, I'm still a rank ninety-five Titled Douluo. It's not as exaggerated as you make it sound."
Lin Yuan chuckled: "Alright, alright, Old freak, others might not know your poison, but don't I? If I let you fight Sword Douluo, you probably wouldn't even win..."
Dugu Bo's old face flushed, and he glared at Lin Yuan, but didn't retort.
This was indeed true; although the flaw in his Spirit had been resolved, it didn't prevent him from being weak.
After all, he followed the poison control route, and in the form of poisonous mist. Against someone like Chen Xin, whose sword qi surged everywhere, his poison couldn't get close.
Unless he compressed it to the extreme, forming a high-concentration energy cannon to clash, but that would consume a lot of spirit power.
Fortunately, his granddaughter didn't follow the same path as him.
Her future achievements would definitely surpass his!
Chen Xin looked at the old man and the young man chatting and laughing, feeling a bit envious.
Why was Lin Yuan's attitude towards Dugu Bo so different from his attitude towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
Some time later, both Tang Chen and Qian Renxue had returned to their respective forces.
Clear Sky Sect.
When Tang Xiao and the others saw Tang Chen, they were all stunned; it really was him!
That man, who had disappeared for so long, had finally returned!
"Grandfather, you're back!" Tang Xiao rushed to Tang Chen's side immediately.
The other Elders followed closely.
Tang Chen nodded, looked around, and asked with some confusion: "You should have known I'd return through the heavenly screen, so why don't I see Hao'er? And Wei'er? Why aren't they here?"
As soon as he spoke, Tang Chen could clearly feel the atmosphere become uneasy.
Tang Chen's brows furrowed even tighter: "What exactly happened to the Clear Sky Sect in the years I was gone?"
A moment later.
"Bastards!"
Tang Chen's aura erupted, directly blasting the Elders away, causing them all to spit out mouthfuls of old blood.
"Have you all been living like dogs all these years?! I told you to help me watch over the Clear Sky Sect, and this is how you watched it?!"
"It's just a 100,000-Year Spirit Beast! Spirit Hall dared to come and hunt down our clansmen, and you didn't dare to protect them?"
"Are you worthy of the Clear Sky Hammer on your bodies!!"
