"So, for those forces, a Great Sumeru Hammer that few people can use and a Spirit's secondary Awakening are simply not comparable."
Listening to Chu Shanhe's explanation, Mu Xi also fell silent. What a joke, even a powerhouse with that configuration might not be guaranteed victory even with Ring Explosion.
"Then, why do you want to postpone your emergence?" Mu Xi didn't understand. In ten years at most, her husband Chen Zhen would be able to Breakthrough to Titled Douluo. At that time, the Body Sect would have four Titled Douluo. This lineup, let alone the Upper Three Sects and the two Empires, even Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to act rashly.
"Because of Yi'er."
Chu Shanhe said in a deep voice, "Yi'er possesses a God Legacy, and it is highly possible he will become a God in the future. This is a huge threat and temptation for all forces on the Douluo Continent. Even someone like Qian Daoliu might not hesitate to violate his principles and eliminate Yi'er quickly, after all, his Qian family worships a God!"
Four Titled Douluo, it sounds strong, but in front of Qian Daoliu, they are no different from those low-level Spirit Masters.
"Therefore, before Yi'er grows up, the Body Sect will not emerge, to avoid attracting the attention of Spirit Hall."
Mu Xi took a deep breath. She had originally intended to bring up this issue, but now that Chu Shanhe had decided to delay their emergence, it made her blush slightly.
Noticing Mu Xi's embarrassment, Chu Shanhe smiled indifferently, "You don't have to feel awkward. Whether from a mother's perspective or as a member of the Body Sect, this is a very good suggestion."
"Mm," Although Chu Shanhe didn't say anything, her face was clearly still a little red. This was only possible in the Body Sect; in any other force, a Spirit Saint daring to instruct a Titled Douluo would have been slapped to death long ago.
"If you still feel ashamed, then work harder to Cultivate. In the storms of the future, a Spirit Saint won't have much chance to intervene."
"Thank you, Sect Master, this Disciple understands."
..."Ugh—!!"
Sour bile mixed with the undigested spiritual fruit porridge from the morning gushed out. Chen Yi leaned against the warm, grey-green boulder, his knuckles white, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
His stomach felt as if a churning beast had been stuffed inside, each spasm bringing a burning pain, until he was only dry heaving. Then his legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the ground with a 'thud'.
His head hit the cool grass, but he couldn't even feel the pain. He only felt the entire world spinning. Just after leaving the Sect, the Grand Elder had hugged him, saying something like, "Let you truly experience what a Titled Douluo's speed is," and then took Chen Yi soaring into the sky, diving into clouds one moment, skimming treetops the next, with even the air currents seemingly conspiring to rush into his nose.
Now, he lay with his eyes open, gazing at the sky, fragmented by the tree leaves above, his eyes so vacant they could hold two ounces of wind. His hair was plastered to his forehead with sweat, and his chest still heaved erratically, looking exactly like a salted fish just washed ashore by a wave, without even the strength to flop.
"Hehe, kid, is that all you've got?"
The Grand Elder squatted beside him, arms crossed, his grey robe lightly brushing Chen Yi's ankle. He poked Chen Yi's firm cheek, "It's not even three hours, and you're so nauseous your Spirit is almost flying away? If you become a Titled Douluo in the future, will you have to hire someone to carry you?"
Chen Yi opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but as soon as he did, his throat felt sour. In the end, he just let out a muffled groan.
He couldn't help it; Chen Yi had suffered from motion sickness in his previous life, and he hadn't expected this problem to follow him.
Even though the Grand Elder wasn't an agility-attack system Titled Douluo specializing in speed, he was still astonishingly fast.
Why hadn't he noticed the Grand Elder had a mischievous old man side before!
Chen Yi wailed loudly in his heart.
"Hehe, you should think of it this way: if this old man didn't take you flying, it would take at least two more days from the Yuntian Mountain Range to this Aoswei Kingdom."
Hearing the Grand Elder's words, Chen Yi opened his eyes and looked at him, asking in confusion, "No, Fourth Grandfather, aren't we supposed to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings? What are we doing in this Aoswei Kingdom?"
The Star Dou Great Forest is located in the central part of the Douluo Continent, right on the border of the two Empires. However, the Aoswei Kingdom is located in the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. If they were to take a detour from here, it would add five days to their journey for no reason.
The Grand Elder didn't answer, but instead asked, "Have you decided on your spirit ring yet?"
At this, Chen Yi perked up immediately. He sat up and took out a notebook from his spirit tool, flipping through it as he spoke:
"Last night, I thought about all the Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest suitable for me and finally picked a few that are more compatible. What do you think of this Mad Thunder King Kong? This Spirit Beast is a mutated form of the King Kong Baboon. Not only can its strength rival those top-tier power-type Spirit Beasts, but it is also quite outstanding in terms of its lightning attribute. According to records, a former vice-dean of the Thunder Academy once had a 10,000-year Mad Thunder King Kong as his fifth spirit ring, and the Spirit Ability it provided was even stronger than his sixth Spirit Ability."
"Additionally, for lightning-attribute Spirit Beasts, I lean more towards the Startling Thunder Tiger-Lion. As a descendant of the Thunder Sound Violent Tiger and the Thunder Shadow Lion, it is a standout among its peers in both strength and speed, and its lightning attribute level can even rival the Mad Thunder King Kong."
"For power-type Spirit Beasts, I think if there's a chance, I could choose a super Spirit Beast like the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. Of course, if not, the Titan Giant Ape or Dreadclaw Bear would also work."
The more Chen Yi spoke, the more excited he became. These past few years, he had spent almost every day immersed in the sea of books in the library. His understanding of Spirit Beasts could rival that of a seasoned teacher at an Advanced Spirit Master Academy, so he spoke of top-tier Spirit Beasts as a baseline.
The Grand Elder, at his side, nodded repeatedly, clearly very pleased with the Spirit Beasts Chen Yi mentioned. As for whether he was being a bit overly ambitious? What a joke, couldn't a dignified Divine Rank Spirit be matched with those super Spirit Beasts? And could he, a dignified Titled Douluo, not even catch a few Spirit Beasts?
After talking for a long time, Chen Yi's mouth was dry. After taking a big gulp of water, he looked at the Grand Elder: "What do you think of my ideas, old man?"
"All good. Whether they are the primary or backup Spirit Beasts, they can all provide a very good Spirit Ability if used as your second spirit ring. It seems you haven't been slacking off in the library." The Grand Elder stroked his beard and said cheerfully.
"Of course, I've been criticized a lot these past few years for spending so much time in the library." Hearing the Grand Elder's praise, Chen Yi accepted it without modesty, then immediately reacted and asked the latter:
"Second spirit ring? But my first spirit ring isn't even settled yet."
Hearing this, the Grand Elder smiled mysteriously and pointed to the city ahead.
"Your first spirit ring is there!"
