The group fell silent for a moment after seeing The Single Married Woman Who Runs the Academy's explanation.
Spirit mutation, Innate Rank 0.5?
This... the conditions were indeed too harsh.
Under such a premise, being able to reach Rank 29 seems... like a form of proof of his 'effort'?
[Li Yuan: What's wrong with having low Innate spirit power? That's not the reason he became trash. Let me tell you, ten thousand years from now, there will be a person named Ji Juechen. He only has an Innate Rank 3 spirit power. In the eyes of you prodigies, he would be a total trash among trash!]
[Li Yuan: No one had high hopes for him, but he was the most determined. He started with a piece of iron and ended with a peerless sword, even becoming a Titled Douluo!]
[Big Cat in the Dark Night: A Titled Douluo? With Innate Rank 3... he must have put in effort beyond what ordinary people can imagine, right?]
Zhu Zhuqing looked at this information. Since Dai Mubai ran away, her dim eyes lit up for the first time.
Someone with Innate Rank 3 could become a Titled Douluo through effort?
Then she, with Innate Rank 7, as long as she worked twice as hard, would she... also have hope of escaping her suffocating fate?
[Li Yuan: Exactly. Moreover, Ji Juechen's initial Spirit was even more useless than a 'trash Spirit' because it was just a lump of iron. It didn't even have basic attack power. Holding it, you could probably only use it like a Brick to smack people.]
[But Ji Juechen relied on bitter cultivation day after day, year after year, to hone that lump of iron into his own'sword'!]
[Li Yuan: Here, I want to give a special shout-out to Ji Juechen. I'm willing to call him the number one powerhouse of effort! (Clapping emoji)]
[Li Yuan: He didn't have proud talent or a powerful Bloodline Legacy. All he had was a sincere heart that would never surrender to fate and would remain faithful to the Dao of the sword until death!]
Seeing this, everyone in the group, including Qian Renxue,
almost everyone silently sent their respect and applause to this "Ji Juechen" they had never met.
Not for any other reason, but because he deserved it!
[Li Yuan: So, coming back to the topic, can everyone guess what our 'Grandmaster' Yu Xiaogang was doing while Ji Juechen was sweating buckets and practicing his swordplay desperately to rewrite his fate?]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Um, eating, drinking, and having fun?]
[The Richest Little Rich Girl of Heaven Dou: No, no! He must have been trying to find shortcuts or complaining about why he didn't have a good Spirit, right?]
[Li Yuan: Congratulations to the little rich girl, you got half of it right. He was indeed complaining, blaming everyone but himself, complaining about the unfairness of heaven, the tricks of fate, and his Spirit mutation.]
[Li Yuan: I know some might think this is a normal reaction, but I want to tell you a fact. Heaven didn't mistreat Yu Xiaogang; on the contrary... it showed him special favor!]
[Big Sister with a Vicious Heart: A malignant Spirit mutation and Innate Rank 0.5 spirit power, and you call that'special favor'?]
Dugu Yan's current expression was exactly like the'Subway Old Man Looking at Phone' meme.
Not just her, but everyone else in the group was also confused, completely unable to understand.
[Li Yuan: I know you don't believe it, but I'm telling you, Yu Xiaogang's Spirit 'Luo San Pao' is one of only two External Beast Spirits in the history of the Douluo Continent, even tens of thousands of years into the future!]
If it weren't for Li Yuan, Yu Xiaogang would truly be the only one.
[The Richest Little Rich Girl of Heaven Dou: One of only two in tens of thousands of years?!]
[Big Cat in the Dark Night: Unimaginable! But what does this have to do with favor? Does his Spirit have some hidden secret?]
[Li Yuan: Exactly! You got it! Because his Spirit contains one of the top Dragon Clan Bloodlines of the Douluo Continent—the Golden Holy Dragon!]
[The Yandere Maniac Beauty of the Spirit Hall: Impossible! That's absolutely impossible!]
[The Single Married Woman Who Runs the Academy: Exactly! You're just spouting nonsense with no factual basis! I've seen Xiaogang's Spirit hundreds of times. It's just a Pigling Beast. Besides farting and acting cute, it has nothing special about it!]
Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, these arch-rivals, probably never expected that the first time they would stand on a united front
would be to deal with this annoying man together.
[Li Yuan: Then let me ask you, if Luo San Pao didn't have the Golden Holy Dragon Bloodline, where did the Golden Triangle's Golden Holy Dragon Spirit Fusion Skill come from? Can a Fire Dragon, an Owl, and a pigling fuse into a Golden Holy Dragon?]
[Li Yuan: Answer me! Look into my eyes!]
The members of the group were all dazed. After all, most of them were of the younger generation and had never even heard of the Golden Triangle.
[Ice and Snow Smart: According to the Spirit Fusion Skill standards recorded in ancient texts, it's fundamentally impossible for three vastly different Spirits to fuse into a legendary Pure-blood True Dragon!]
Fortunately, after the top student's explanation, everyone finally realized.
[The Yandere Maniac Beauty of the Spirit Hall: Even... even if Xiaogang's Spirit had a thin trace of that Bloodline, what does that prove? Innate Rank 0.5 spirit power has already locked in his upper limit. That is an ironclad fact.]
[Li Yuan: Locked in? Do you know that as an External Beast Spirit, Luo San Pao has a characteristic that most Spirits don't? It can eat things just like a real Spirit Beast!]
[Everyone knows about Spirit Beasts, right? Almost all Spirit Beasts have an ability to slowly convert what they eat into spirit power to promote their own growth.]
[Big Cat in the Dark Night: Conversion?! Is it for real? For real real? Then wouldn't a Spirit Beast get stronger just by eating non-stop? (Shocked)]
[The Richest Little Rich Girl of Heaven Dou: That's so powerful! I'm so envious of Spirit Beasts! I also want to get stronger just by eating. Cultivating is too boring.]
[Ice and Snow Smart: +1.]
[Big Sister with a Vicious Heart: +2.]
[Loves Eating Carrots: What are you guys thinking? The efficiency of Spirit Beasts converting spirit power by eating is pitifully low. Moreover, they grow slowly; their cultivation speed is much slower than humans! (Speechless facepalm)]
A complex expression appeared on Xiao Wu's face.
The joys and sorrows of different beings are not shared.
Envious of Spirit Beasts?
Is that something a human should say?
Shouldn't it be Spirit Beasts envying humans for cultivating fast and being able to hunt Spirit Beasts for spirit rings?
What is this world coming to?
[Li Yuan: Imagine if Yu Xiaogang had carefully fed Luo San Pao sub-dragon meat containing dragon blood, or even higher-level Heaven And Earth Treasures.]
[At the same time, if he had also cultivated hard himself, then wouldn't the pure energy absorbed and converted by Luo San Pao feed back into him? Wouldn't that form a dual-directional cultivation cycle?]
[Ice and Snow Smart: Wouldn't that be an effect where 1+1 is far greater than 2? It might even be possible to break the limits of Innate spirit power!]
[Li Yuan: Exactly. Theoretically, it's completely feasible.]
[Li Yuan: However, what is the reality? Our 'great' Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang fed Luo San Pao, which has the Golden Holy Dragon Bloodline, carrots all year round! And they were the ordinary kind with almost no spiritual nutrition, the freaking 'gas-inducing' white radishes!]
[The result was that he forcefully turned a Holy Dragon Hatchling with the Golden Holy Dragon Bloodline into a farting pigling!]
[The Richest Little Rich Girl of Heaven Dou: 666! Feeding white radishes to a dragon cub!]
[Big Sister with a Vicious Heart: I'm speechless... I really don't know whether to call him stupid or say he was just trying to save money.]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Feeding white radishes to a Spirit with a Dragon Clan Bloodline... I've got to hand it to him for coming up with that.]
[Ice and Snow Smart: Maybe this is what a self-proclaimed big smart one looks like!]
[Child Without Parents: Don't tarnish the term big smart one; he doesn't deserve it!]
[Li Yuan: It can be said that he originally had a bright and beautiful future with limitless potential, but in the end, he played himself into uselessness!]
At this moment.
In the Crown Princes Mansion.
Qian Renxue's exquisite eyes were full of ridicule toward Bibi Dong: "Your taste in men is just as bad as your character. But don't worry, I, Qian Renxue, am destined to never be like you!"
She had such great talent, yet she actually fell for such a loser!
This Yu Xiaogang was also ridiculous.
Even if you're feeding a dog, a owner knows to feed it some meat.
Yu Xiaogang didn't even understand this?
It's no wonder he raised such a good Spirit to be useless.
