"Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
"That's just an ordinary collection item."
"What do you want it for?"
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, feeling very confused.
She knew about this thing.
It was a treasure passed down through generations of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Legend has it that this item contains miraculous power.
Because of this, it became a national treasure.
However, the Imperial Family was not clear about what specific power this treasure possessed.
This was because the method to activate the treasure had not been passed down.
Currently, it was merely treated as a collectible, stored within the Tiandou Empire's treasury.
"An ordinary collectible? Heh..."
Upon hearing this,
Golden Crown laughed aloud.
Qian Renxue thought Golden Crown was mocking her and felt slightly annoyed: "Are you making fun of me?"
"No, no."
"I just thought of something happy."
After recovering his composure, Golden Crown began to explain the effects of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Qian Renxue.
"Don't underestimate this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud! It also has another name, the Sea God's Heart!"
"This is a God-grade spirit tool left behind by the Sea God back then!"
"Not only does it possess miraculous abilities, but it's also an important item to gain the Sea God's recognition."
"The person who obtains it has a 1% chance of achieving godhood."
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly.
Clearly, she was shocked by Golden Crown's words.
What did she just hear?
That Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which was treated as an ordinary collectible, was actually a God-grade spirit tool?!
The possessor even has a chance to gain the Sea God's recognition and a 1% chance of becoming a god.
Taking a moment to calm down,
she finally finished digesting the information she had heard.
At the same time, she raised a question: "Xiao Mian, how do you know about this?"
"There are no records of this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud even within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
Golden Crown took out a book that looked very old and worn.
"This is an ancient book I discovered in the Spirit Hall Academy's library."
"It records many strange anecdotes and mysteries!"
"The records of things like Immortal Herbs and Whale Glue were all things I saw in this book."
Of course,
this book couldn't have actually been discovered in Spirit Hall Academy.
Golden Crown had written it himself.
The purpose was to have an answer for when others asked how he knew such things.
Looking at the records in the book, Qian Renxue couldn't help but believe him a bit more.
However, she always felt something was strange.
Simply because the handwriting in this book felt a bit familiar.
She seemed to have seen these tadpole-like characters somewhere before.
Golden Crown interrupted her thoughts: "Such an important treasure is better off being used by us than gathering dust in the Heaven Dou treasury."
"I understand."
Qian Renxue's expression was serious and solemn as she made up her mind.
"If it's truly as the book records,"
"this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud indeed cannot be left in the palace."
"Otherwise, if the Old Emperor has a lapse in judgment one day and bestows this treasure to someone else, allowing them to gain the Sea God's recognition, we would surely face a powerful enemy in the future."
...Far away at Nuoding Academy, Tang San was receiving private tutoring from Yu Xiaogang.
Suddenly, he felt an empty sensation in his heart.
It felt as if some great opportunity was drifting away from him.
Yu Xiaogang, who was currently lecturing on his incorrect theories, saw Tang San dazing off.
He shouted sternly: "Little San, why are you distracted? Did you hear what I just taught?"
"Sorry teacher, I just..."
Yu Xiaogang raised his hand to interrupt, indicating he didn't want to hear excuses.
He took out a ruler and said: "Stretch out your hand!"
Tang San stretched out his right hand.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
The ruler struck Tang San's palm three times in succession, heavily.
Red marks instantly surfaced.
But it wasn't over. Yu Xiaogang said again: "The other one!"
Tang San stretched out his left hand.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
The ruler struck his palm with another triple blow.
The pain made Tang San gasp.
To prevent Tang San from resenting him,
Yu Xiaogang immediately began his manipulation tactics.
"Little San, I hit you for your own good!"
"This is the only way you'll remember the lesson."
"In the future, you are a genius who will stand at the peak of the Spirit Master's world!"
"And the prerequisite for that is you must learn more theoretical knowledge (especially mine, Yu Xiaogang's!), so you can gain the upper hand in the fiercely competitive Spirit Master's world later on."
"Do you understand your teacher's painstaking efforts?"
Tang San's face was filled with emotion.
He thought to himself,
I didn't expect Teacher to be considering my future at every moment.
I truly didn't choose the wrong teacher.
I deserved to be hit for being distracted just now.
Even if Teacher hit me again, it would be justified.
This is Teacher's love!
Thinking of this, it seemed some hidden trait in Tang San was activated.
He stood up, leaned over the stool, and stuck out his backside.
"Teacher, please hit me a few more times!"
"You were right just now. If I want to shine in this fiercely competitive Spirit Master's world, I must study seriously at all times. Being distracted was my fault."
"To ensure I don't make the mistake again, Teacher, please strike me."
Yu Xiaogang was stunned.
Wait, what?
Have my brainwashing skills improved again?
I've actually manipulated Tang San to this extent?!
He's actively asking to be hit!
In that case, I won't be polite.
Yu Xiaogang stood up: "Little San, since you have such perseverance, your teacher naturally won't be soft-hearted!"
As the words fell!
Smack! Smack! Smack... The sound of striking rang out.
Tang San gritted his teeth without making a sound; he even had an expression of enjoyment on his face.
"Teacher's love is just as heavy as Father's love!"
...While Tang San was enjoying... no, being punished,
Azure Luan Douluo, who had been sent by Qian Daoliu to bring Qian Renxue back,
finally arrived at Heaven Dou City.
As for why he could fly from Wuhun City to Heaven Dou City in just a few hours:
First,
Azure Luan Douluo's Martial Soul was a flight-type Martial Soul.
His inherent flight speed was already very fast.
Secondly, he possessed an 80,000-year Spirit Bone, and the attached Spirit Ability was of the acceleration type.
Additionally, among his own Martial Soul Abilities, there were those that increased speed.
Finally, don't forget that after consuming an Immortal Herb, Azure Luan Douluo's rank had reached level ninety-eight!
Flying at full power with all these enhancements,
his speed was unrivaled across the entire Douluo Continent.
He could be called the fastest man!
"I've finally arrived."
"The guards of Heaven Dou City are truly lazy!"
"Most of them have gone off to sleep."
"I actually got in without any effort."
"Further ahead should be the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace."
Following that,
Azure Luan Douluo silently slipped into the palace.
Suddenly, he sensed a familiar aura.
"Isn't this Second Brother's aura?"
"Didn't Second Brother say he was taking Xiao Mian to handle some business? Why would he appear in Heaven Dou City?"
"And it's even inside the Imperial Palace?"
Suddenly,
an extremely bad thought appeared in his mind.
"Could it be that Little Xue's identity has been discovered?"
"Not good, I must go and support them as soon as possible!"
Thinking of this,
Azure Luan Douluo quickened his pace toward the Crown Prince's Palace...
