Chapter 230. The Eleven Competitive Strengths of a Spirit.
"Dong'er, it's really you." Yu Xiaogang turned and looked at Bibi Dong.
She was still as beautiful and charming as she had been back then. The only difference was that when he had met Bibi Dong that year, she was like a green apple, full of youthful energy.
Now, Bibi Dong was more feminine, mature, and charming.
Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang. Although her feelings had subconsciously faded considerably, the sight of him still stirred a ripple in her heart. She recalled her youthful days, her first love, Yu Xiaogang, at this Lantern Festival. She accepted his confession, and the two fell in love.
Unfortunately, this passionate love brought Bibi Dong not a sweet love, but a nightmare.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Dong'er, you know, I haven't been able to forget you all these years," Yu Xiaogang said.
"So, what's the matter with Liu Erlong?" Bibi Dong asked.
"She's my cousin," Yu Xiaogang explained quickly.
"You fell in love with Liu Erlong before, so you forgot about me. After you found out she was your cousin, you picked me up again and missed me, right?" Bibi Dong said with a frown.
"No, that's not the case, Dong'er."
"Okay, I don't want to hear your explanation. Just tell me the truth. What's the matter with you calling me here?" Bibi Dong asked directly.
Yu Xiaogang avoided Bibi Dong's question and took her to the place where they had dated in the past, recalling the sweet memories they had shared.
Bibi Dong didn't complain about Yu Xiaogang's avoidance. After all, the sweet memories of her first love have always been something she couldn't forget. Countless nights she had thought about revisiting the past memories like Yu Xiaogang and savoring them.
Now, it could be said that her dream had come true.
At the end, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but hold Bibi Dong's hand. They gazed at the starry night sky and said, "Dong'er, give me a little time. I will definitely rescue you from the Spirit Hall's imprisonment."
Bibi Dong couldn't help but chuckle at Yu Xiaogang's words and said, "Xiaogang, the Spirit Hall is more powerful than you can imagine."
"You don't believe it?" Yu Xiaogang said, shocked, looking at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong said, "I believe you very much, but I've become more trusting of reality."
Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "Dong'er, don't worry. I've found a way to rescue you. Don't you know? I recently accepted a disciple with twin spirits. If he cultivates to the level of a Titled Douluo, he will definitely challenge the Spirit Hall and ultimately rescue you from it."
Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang, and disappointment flashed across her eyes!
So this was Yu Xiaogang's method of rescue? Relying on others to save himself? Haha!
Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "Xiao Gang, it's not as easy as you think. I now have twin spirits and the strength of a Titled Douluo, but I still can't escape the Spirit Hall. Even if you bring in another spirit master with twin spirits, what can they do?"
"That's different," Yu Xiaogang said proudly. Tang San's spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer. Back then, Tang Hao, with the strength of a newly minted Titled Douluo, was able to strike three with one blow, killing one and seriously injuring two of the three Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall. If Tang San had cultivated to the extreme, he would still be chasing the Spirit Hall priests with the Clear Sky Hammer.
The Spirit Hall would be nothing to fear.
"Are you saying I'm not as good as that twin-spirit disciple you accepted?" Bibi Dong said angrily.
Yu Xiaogang quickly explained: "No, that's not the case, Dong'er, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that we have hope of breaking free from the Spirit Hall's restrictions and finally being together. As long as you promise me two things, after I train Tang San in the future, I will go to the Spirit Hall, and with our cooperation, we will definitely be able to break free."
Bibi Dong was moved when she heard Yu Xiaogang's words and asked, "Which two conditions?"
Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment and said, "Bibi Dong, I want to borrow your method of practicing twin spirits, and also, I want to know how you absorbed spirit rings beyond your limits."
Bibi Dong couldn't help but frown when she heard Yu Xiaogang's words. She was no longer the silly girl she used to be. Bibi Dong said, "I understand now. You came to see me for these two things of mine, right?"
"Don'er, believe me, I'm thinking about our future happiness."
Bibi Dong pulled out a compendium of twin martial spirit cultivation guidelines she'd compiled over the years from her soul guide and handed it to Yu Xiaogang. "This is the compendium," she said. "As for breaking through the age limit of a spirit master's spirit rings, it depends on your physical endurance and mental strength."
"What do you mean?" Yu Xiaogang asked.
Bibi Dong replied, "To absorb spirit rings of a higher age, your body must withstand the violent energy of the spirit ring, and your mental strength must withstand the soul shock."
"What is soul shock?" Yu Xiaogang asked hurriedly, touching upon another point he wasn't familiar with.
"You still don't know this basic common sense?" Bibi Dong was a little shocked. Was this still her erudite Xiaogang?
Yu Xiaogang scratched his head and said, "Well, Dong'er, I have a lot of knowledge points to remember every day, so it's normal to forget some things."
"Indeed, soul shock is something that soul masters need to pay attention to when absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring. The resentment of the ten-thousand-year soul beast after its death will impact your mental strength. This is called soul shock. When absorbing this kind of soul ring, it tests not only your physical body, but also your mental strength." Bibi Dong said.
Yu Xiaogang nodded repeatedly and continued, "Then is it possible for a soul master to obtain a thousand-year soul ring from the beginning?"
"How is that possible?" Bibi Dong chuckled and said, "Unless the soul master starts with enough soul bones to enhance his physical fitness, otherwise it's impossible."
"Yes, soul bones." Yu Xiaogang suddenly understood.
With his doubts resolved and Bibi Dong's twin spirit cultivation method and other information in hand, Yu Xiaogang was in a state of great joy. He glanced at Bibi Dong and said, "Dong'er, it's getting late now. I'm worried Qianxunji will notice you sneaking out, so let's just say goodbye for now."
Bibi Dong's eyes widened as she looked at Yu Xiaogang and said, "Okay, now that you've got what you want, you want to kick me out. I finally understand: you came for these things of mine."
"Dong'er, that's not what I meant. I promise you, I'll come to the Spirit Hall to pick you up in a few decades," Yu Xiaogang said firmly.
"Hmph, Xiaogang, I advise you, even though your twin spirit disciple has achieved success in cultivation, it's best not to set foot in the Spirit Hall. Truly, the Spirit Hall's foundation can't be equaled by just one twin spirit master," Bibi Dong said earnestly.
The advantage of twin martial souls is that the soul ring of the second martial soul can be more than ten thousand years old. However, when thinking of Qian Xunji's unreasonable soul ring that is only one hundred thousand years old, what is the point of twin martial souls?
Bibi Dong chased Yu Xiaogang away. She watched him leave. Although she knew the chances of him and his men defeating the Spirit Hall were slim, she couldn't help but wonder:
What if, a decade or so later, Yu Xiaogang actually brought his disciples to attack the Spirit Hall to save her? What would she do then?
Qian Renxue would undoubtedly oppose those who were enemies of the Spirit Hall. What would she choose then?
Bibi Dong felt conflicted, but recalling Yu Xiaogang's solemn promise before his departure, a sweet thought lingered in her heart.
Bibi Dong pondered the memory of her first love for a long time. Today had been her happiest day, yet even that joyous occasion had come to an end. Returning to the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong looked upon the Pope's Hall, her expression suddenly cold. She was about to return to face that beast, Qian Xunji.
After receiving Bibi Dong's two theories, Yu Xiaogang was filled with excitement. He said, "Now Xiaosan's twin spirit cultivation problem has been solved. Not only that, I've also found a method for absorbing limit-breaking spirit rings."
However, a pity: to absorb limit-breaking spirit rings, one must reach a certain level of mental strength and physical fitness. Spirit bones were a shortcut to improvement, but Yu Xiaogang didn't have any.
"What a mistake! What a mistake! I should have asked Bibi Dong if the Spirit Hall had any extra spirit bones, and if I could get a couple," Yu Xiaogang said regretfully.
He took a taxi out of Spirit City, heading not to Spirit City but to a city in the Heaven Dou Empire.
In this city, Yu Xiaogang rented a hotel with the monthly payment he received from the Spirit Hall, then calmed down and began to organize his theoretical knowledge.
"First, the Nether White Tiger can fuse with a man. This theory has been confirmed. I'll add to the topic of the ten competitive spirit fusions," Yu Xiaogang wrote.
As he wrote, Yu Xiaogang came back to the issue of spirit ring age. This time, he encountered another troubling problem.
After some thought, Yu Xiaogang changed "absolute" to "standard," and then revised the knowledge he had heard from Bibi Dong and gained through his own understanding.
The general idea was that the standard for obtaining spirit rings in spirits was XXXXX. Of course, this wasn't absolute; to absorb a super-limit spirit ring, one must have XXXXX.
After completing the revisions, Yu Xiaogang added another item after the ten major competitive advantages of spirits: the cultivation method of twin spirits .
This was a profound competitive advantage that Yu Xiaogang had learned from Bibi Dong. Yes, that's right, adding it in—from "Ten Major Competitive Advantages of Spirits" to "Eleven Major Competitive Advantages of Spirits."
Yu Xiaogang picked up the book he had just written, glanced at it with satisfaction, and exclaimed,
"Perfect, truly perfect."
Yu Xiaogang took the revised book to a local publishing house.
"Hello, oh, Master, how can I help you?" the local owner asked.
Yu Xiaogang said, "I'm here to present my new work."
His new work, titled "Eleven Competitive Spirits," shocked the spirit master community. He refined two previous theories and added a method for cultivating twin spirits.
However, twin spirits are rare, and no one, even those who determine their existence, has verified Bibi Dong's theory.
Coincidentally, upon receiving Yu Xiaogang's theory, the Xingluo Empire conducted a review, and it turned out to be true: men and women with the Netherworld Spirit Cat spirit can achieve spirit fusion, provided they possess sufficient compatibility.
Meanwhile, someone else confirmed Yu Xiaogang's theory, claiming that he had fused several spirit bones before obtaining a spirit ring, and when he developed his fourth ring, he absorbed an eight-thousand-year-old spirit ring, further supporting Yu Xiaogang's point. Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang became a household name throughout the Douluo Continent, his reputation universally known.
When people mentioned the Master's name, they no longer spoke with the usual mockery, but with a growing sense of admiration.
The Master's gait also became more vigorous and powerful.
In the Pope's Palace, Qianxunji's cutting board held Yu Xiaogang's book on the eleven major competitive advantages of martial spirits. When he saw the eleventh item, Qianxunji nearly spat out blood.
"Damn it, Yu Xiaogang! You're so incompetent! What do you think Dong'er will think?"
Qianxunji had tacitly allowed Bibi Dong to meet Yu Xiaogang simply to strengthen their relationship. This would make their separation even harder, fueling resentment and fueling more emotions.
As for what information Yu Xiaogang could gain from Bibi Dong, it was of no concern to Qianxunji.
Yu Xiaogang, you stole Bibi Dong's twin martial spirit cultivation method and spirit ring absorption method and secretly used them, but you actually published it as your own theory.
This bastard... what will Bibi Dong think of you if she finds out? This is a blatant betrayal.
You betrayed Bibi Dong, and now Bibi Dong resents you and no longer loves you madly. How can I control her?
Thinking of this, Qian Xunji suddenly felt a headache.
"Has Bibi Dong seen this book?" Qian Xunji asked.
Lin Mengtong said, "Your Holiness, do you want to block this book?"
Qian Xunji nodded.
Lin Mengtong said, "Unfortunately, it's too late. This book is too famous in the mainland. It has now circulated in Bibi Dong's hands."
Ah this - Qian Xunji was speechless.
Liu Erlong was in a very good mood today. It was the happiest day since she came to the Spirit Hall, because she received news from Xiaogang again.
The book in her hand was officially the eleven competitive forces of the spirit published by Xiaogang. At present, the two supplements added by Yu Xiaogang have been recognized in the spirit master world. The only thing missing is the last one of the eleven competitive forces of the spirit, the cultivation method of twin spirits.
Thinking of this, Liu Erlong suddenly thought of a way to argue, so she went to Bibi Dong's boudoir and said, "Bibi Dong, come out for a moment."
Bibi Dong opened the door, looked at Liu Erlong impatiently, and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly."
