Ning Rongrong knew she had to be good to herself, and if she could blame others, she wouldn't blame herself.
Jiang Yunzhou naturally knew Huo Wushuang. He nodded and said,
"If he is willing, he can come to Supreme Academy to register. Of course, don't even think about being a direct disciple."
"However, for any student of my Supreme Academy, I will provide suitable cultivation techniques for them to practice. You can ask him again later."
Huo Wu nodded vigorously. This answer already made her very satisfied.
Her face was beaming with joy. It was enough to be able to join; she dared not fantasize that her brother could have the same fortune as her.
The things her teacher invested in her were already priceless treasures, and such precious things certainly couldn't be given to just anyone.
She also knew that her teacher only accepted nine direct disciples, and only direct disciples received such treatment.
So she was very glad that she was chosen by her teacher, and had no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
Shui Bing'er also spoke up at the right time: "Teacher, actually my sister, Shui Yue'er... she also wants to join."
"She can, but she won't be a direct disciple..."
Shui Bing'er understood Jiang Yunzhou's meaning. She nodded and replied with a smile: "I understand, Teacher. She will be willing. Oh, and actually there's also Xue Wu..."
After listening to Shui Bing'er list a whole bunch of names, Jiang Yunzhou couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Good heavens, was Shui Bing'er planning to move the entire Tianshui Team to Supreme Academy?
Wasn't this clearly favoring outsiders?
But if that happened, would he offend too many academies at once?
However, on second thought, what if he did offend them? Let them come fight him... It wasn't that he looked down on the Tian Dou Empire, it was just that there really wasn't anyone capable of fighting. Even Dugu Bo wasn't someone who would die for the Empire.
Moreover, he wasn't afraid. If they dared to come, he would definitely make them lose their granddaughter and herb garden.
He hadn't killed Xue Beng before not because he was afraid of him, but because he still needed to establish a foothold in Tian Dou City to recruit disciples.
If he really killed him, the royal family's dignity would be compromised, and troubles would surely follow.
If he truly wanted him dead, he would have killed him long ago.
Fortunately, the man was quite sensible, so he was lucky. He hadn't come to bother him again recently.
He chuckled dismissively: "Alright, all who are willing to come are welcome, but even for acquaintances, there are no discounts on tuition."
People change. In the past, he only wanted to escape poverty; now, he only wanted to get rich.
Currently, the Supreme Team was still short of two people.
Under the simplest, most direct, and most convenient premise, he preferred Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.
After all, according to the system's assessment, both of them also had S-rank aptitude, making them the easiest potential disciples to acquire at this stage.
And he still had four spots left for direct disciples. If there were no better options, he would be very willing to reserve a spot for each of them.
Of course, there were more appealing candidates than them, but compared to them, they would be more troublesome to handle, and the difficulty factor was even a bit high.
For example, Qian Renxue, that woman had SS-rank aptitude. How great would it be if he could trick her into becoming his disciple?
However, her personality was very arrogant, and moreover, their identities hadn't been revealed to each other yet, making it somewhat troublesome.
Speaking of which, Tang San was also SS-rank, but unfortunately, not to mention being friends, they were fundamentally in a life-or-death struggle.
Even without this enmity, Jiang Yunzhou never intended to accept male direct disciples.
Male disciples, indeed, somewhat affected the teacher-disciple atmosphere too much!
After the baptism of the Spirit Advancement Pill, all five of his disciples' aptitudes had now risen to S+, so there wasn't much difference.
Some people might not quite understand what aptitude refers to.
Actually, the aptitude rating given by the system was all-encompassing.
Aptitude is a comprehensive concept, including innate basic conditions and potential for future development, not a single designated option.
So this assessment is basically reliable.
Bibi Dong was also SS-rank, and she had twin spirits. If he could take her in, a golden spirit ring would definitely be hers.
Unfortunately, she had already reached the peak; how could she become his disciple?
Moreover, Xiao Wu and she had a deep blood feud. No matter how tempted Jiang Yunzhou was, he wouldn't hurt Xiao Wu's feelings for personal preference.
Besides that, there were a few outrageous existences on the system's list:
Snow Empress, Wang Qiu'er — SS+ rank;
Ice Empress, Ah Yin — SS rank;
And the most exaggerated among them was Gu Yuena: SSS rank.
Ah Yin's aptitude being double S was something he hadn't expected at first, but she did have royal blood, so it seemed plausible.
Although he was very tempted by these monstrous resources, he really didn't know where to start.
To take them as disciples, he would first have to persuade them to transform into human form, right?
But he really didn't have the confidence now to convince a group of Spirit Beast overlords to transform and become his disciples!
However... dreams must still be pursued.
He planned to go for a stroll in the Extreme North Ice Plains when he had time, to meet the Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
If he could trick these two Ice and Snow Empresses into transforming and take them as disciples, that would naturally be a huge profit.
And he could also change their destinies, preventing them from becoming someone else's spirit rings.
Some people say the ending wasn't so bad, right?
Good heavens, just tell me if they all sacrificed themselves in the end, or not?
Then, when a few disciples all reached level 40, he planned to go to the Star Dou Great Forest again.
While 'asking' Da Ming and Er Ming for spirit rings, he would also meet this Wang Qiu'er.
He didn't know what stage Wang Qiu'er had reached in her growth yet.
However, as the embodiment of destiny and the Emperor Rui Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, her strength itself was not weak; her 15,000 years of cultivation could rival a 100,000-year Spirit Beast.
If he could intercept her in advance, he could change her fate of being schemed against by a certain Tang and ultimately sacrificing herself.
If he remembered correctly, after Tang San became a God King, he forcibly inserted a wisp of his daughter's divine consciousness into Wang Qiu'er, which was the direct cause of her tragic end.
Tsk, that dog of a man... it's fine not to mention it, but once you do, you could complain for three days and three nights.
He was simply a hypocrite who self-proclaimed 'I am justice'.
After becoming a god, he would say 'gods cannot interfere with the mortal world' but then wildly violate rules himself:
He interfered with Qian Renxue's god examination, and later personally descended to slaughter, tearing the God Realm's rule system to shreds.
He dragged his brothers to the God Realm, yet watched his brother's wife live out her lonely old age in the mortal world.
Ma Hongjun had begged him, but he blocked it all with the excuse of 'God Realm rules'.
But he could then turn around and, to protect his son, transform his parents into the Plane Lord of the Douluo Continent and the Ancient Tree of Life.
Ning Fengzhi had also desperately begged him to revive Sword and Bone Douluo, who had died fighting for him. He still used 'God Realm rules' to flatly refuse.
Yet he could forcibly interfere with the growth of the Emperor Rui Beast for his beloved daughter, and even forced the Sun Moon Empire to change its name to the Tian Dou Empire... The Douluo Continent being jokingly called 'Tang Clan Continent' is not without reason.
He himself slaughtered his way through to avenge his mother's death, feeling it was only right and proper;
But when Huo Yuhao wanted to avenge his mother, he jumped out to interfere, setting up various trials, euphemistically calling it 'tempering', but in reality, his desire for control was overflowing.
If not for Huo Yuhao's immense luck, he would have been played to death long ago!
No wonder Tang San was jokingly called an extraterrestrial demon... Similar incidents are a dime a dozen, and I can't go into more detail, or it will be suspected of being a filler...
