"Don't worry, I'll stay right here by your side," Xiao Ruier said, her voice solemn as she paused and nodded.
Tang Chen simply offered a faint smile, not saying another word. He sat down cross-legged, his clothes gently fluttering as his aura stabilized, seeming to merge with the surrounding environment.
He then reached into his robes and took out a golden medicinal pill.
This pill was something Tang Chen had refined earlier using the Heaven and Earth Treasures he found in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It contained a multitude of immortal-grade ingredients like the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the Qiluo Tulip.
Before this moment, he had only consumed the Fiery Apricot Blossom and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass for Body Refining. These two particular immortal herbs didn't increase his spirit power rank after consumption, which was why his spirit power rank had remained largely unchanged for so long.
With a focused gaze, Tang Chen opened his mouth and swallowed the pill without hesitation.
As his throat moved slightly, the golden pill slid down into his abdomen.
Instantly, the medicinal pill transformed into a blazing hot current that violently erupted.
In a flash, it felt as though a torrent had been unleashed into the Meridians within Tang Chen's body, and a surging energy circulated wildly. He immediately began to circulate his spirit power to guide this powerful energy.
Pure energy, like a rushing river, roared through his Meridians, fiercely battering every single barrier. His once slightly stiff Meridians gradually became pliable under the cleansing power, and then they were forcibly expanded.
Pain and transformation were intertwined. Soon, fine beads of sweat began to seep from his forehead.
At the same time, Tang Chen's spirit power was rapidly climbing.
With every single breath, the spirit power within his body surged forward, and a subtle golden light radiated from his body, resonating with the surrounding Heaven and Earth energy. With each breath, he even drew in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which continuously poured into his body, where it was absorbed and refined by the torrent of energy transformed from the pill.
Standing quietly beside Tang Chen, Xiao Ruier's expression was serious. The Golden Dragon Spear was already in her hand, and her gaze constantly swept across the area, ready to deal with any sudden situation.
Suddenly, her gaze fell upon the spring eye at the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The spring water churned, and ripples seemed to spread from the very bottom.
The next second, a low and distant Dragon roar suddenly echoed in her ears, causing her expression to jolt violently, revealing deep disbelief.
"A Dragon roar? Could it be that something is below?" Xiao Ruier frowned slightly and murmured softly, a hint of unease rising in her heart.
However, before her words had fully left her lips, a low sound of rushing wind suddenly rang out above her head, and then a chilling sense of oppressive power abruptly enveloped her.
Xiao Ruier raised her beautiful eyes, only to see an emerald-green figure suspended in mid-air.
It was the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!
"Who are you two? How dare you trespass into this old man's medicine garden? Who told you about this place? Tell me, or you'll die!" Dugu Bo hung in the air, his emerald eyes staring down like a venomous snake, exuding a chilling aura. His voice was low and hoarse.
At this moment, Tang Chen had completely changed his appearance, and Dugu Bo couldn't recognize him at all. Xiao Ruier had only recently joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy and then left Heaven Dou City under Qin Ming's lead to participate in team Spirit battles in other cities, so Dugu Bo naturally didn't know her either.
"If you dare to take another step forward, you will also die!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ruier's pretty face turned cold. She immediately flashed to a position in front of Tang Chen, the Golden Dragon Spear suddenly thrust forward, its sharp point aimed directly at Dugu Bo in mid-air. Her voice was icy.
"Hahahaha—"
Dugu Bo was startled at first, then burst into mocking and disdainful laughter.
"Little girl, you trespass into this old man's medicine garden and still have such a big mouth?! You're just a four-ring Spirit Ancestor, yet you dare to speak boastfully in front of me?"
As he spoke, a strong green light suddenly radiated from his body, followed by rings of light rising from beneath his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—a total of nine spirit rings spiraled upward, their dazzling light making the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well shine brilliantly.
Seeing this display, Xiao Ruier's lips immediately curled into a cold smile. Without the slightest fear, she provoked him.
"Is a Titled Douluo very strong? I wonder if you can defeat him?"
At this point, she raised her hand and gently patted the air behind her, seemingly towards the Void Realm.
The air vibrated, and in the next instant, a crimson figure quietly emerged, suspended in mid-air not far behind Xiao Ruier.
Crimson flames surged, and an oppressive might rolled forth!
The moment he saw this crimson figure, Dugu Bo's originally unrestrained smile instantly froze. His face darkened, a hint of deep apprehension flashed in his eyes, and his entire old face became extremely unsightly.
Lanba Academy
Meanwhile, in Heaven Dou City, at Lanba Academy.
Just as it happened in the original story, Flender and the others had barely entered Heaven Dou Royal Academy when they were driven out by Prince Xue Xing and Dugu Bo, who had rushed over. Immediately after, Flender directly persuaded Yu Xiaogang to come to Lanba Academy in the city, where he met Erlong, the one he had been longing for.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the academy, the other members of the group gradually adapted to the new environment, but Tang San seemed exceptionally abnormal.
He did not participate in cultivation and discussions as usual. Instead, he confined himself to his assigned room, keeping the door shut, neither eating nor drinking, and not responding no matter how much outsiders called out to him.
The room was dimly lit, with the windows tightly shut.
Only a faint ray of light pierced through, falling upon Tang San's lonely back.
He had been in the room for several days, yet Tang San still sat there in a daze. He had not cultivated, and his mind seemed to be completely enveloped in a fog.
"Why? Why am I not my brother's opponent?!"
"Why is his Blue Silver Grass, with only Rank one Innate spirit power, stronger than my Blue Silver Grass?"
"Could it be... is Yu Xiaogang's Spirit theory really flawed?"
He couldn't figure out where his problem lay, nor did he understand what direction he should be developing in now.
Should he be a control system? A life system? An attack system?
But the problem was that his Blue Silver Grass already had three Spirit Rings attached. If he were to switch to another cultivation path, wouldn't he become a four-sided monster, unable to focus on any one path effectively?
Several days passed.
Tang San thought a lot, but the more he thought, the more chaotic his heart became.
During these few days, he hadn't even rested, nor had he eaten anything. He simply spent the time in this hazy, quiet state.
This painful feeling constantly ravaged his heart.
He didn't even know why he was suffering like this.
"Since my brother's Blue Silver Grass can become so strong, then my Blue Silver Grass should be able to as well, even if it means at all costs!"
Tang San was a persistent person. In his previous life, he stole the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record to become stronger, not hesitating to be hunted down by the Tang Sect Elders and branded with the crime of betraying the Sect. It was the same in this life.
"Even if Blue Silver Grass is truly called a trash Spirit by the world and is completely unable to support me in becoming truly strong!"
"Then I can also switch to cultivating a second Spirit. Perhaps..."
Thinking of this, Tang San slowly spread his left hand. Black light surged, and a small hammer appeared in his palm—it was the Clear Sky Hammer, though he didn't know its identity yet.
"Blue Silver Grass is called a trash Spirit by everyone. I think it's not a good Spirit to begin with, and I seem to have chosen the wrong cultivation path again. Why not take advantage of being young now, abandon it, and switch to cultivating a second Spirit? If I do that, perhaps my strength could increase even faster?!"
