"Once, I had a genius, a prodigy right in front of me, but I didn't cherish her…"
"It wasn't until I lost her that I regretted it deeply."
"If Heaven gave me another chance, I wouldn't even blink, even if it cost me two million or twenty million gold soul coins!"
Ning Fengzhi was numb. He felt that the worst decision he ever made in his life was giving up on that auction.
If he could turn back time, he would definitely go back and slap himself.
A prodigy like Chi Yu was truly worth it!
Not even sixteen years old, already a forty-eighth level Soul Ancestor, with two purple and two black spirit rings.
Forget seeing it, he had never even heard of such a thing!
If this kind of prodigy belonged to another faction, so be it.
But she was once just an auction item!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan lacks many things, but money is not one of them!
"Fengzhi, don't blame yourself."
Chen Xin patted Ning Fengzhi's shoulder and said.
It's too late to say anything now.
Self-blame serves no purpose; the main thing is to see how to make up for this mistake.
Gu Rong, who had been silent on the side, suddenly had a light in his eyes and said, "Fengzhi, the Sword Douluo!"
"Zhongli did say in front of everyone that he doesn't care who takes Chi Yu as a disciple!"
"As long as no special means are used and she is openly accepted as a disciple..."
As soon as he said this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were stunned. After a brief moment of thought, they both smiled. From the reports, it seemed that Zhongli did indeed say such a thing.
Since Zhongli doesn't mind who accepts Chi Yu as a disciple, doesn't that mean the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan still has a chance?
As for the three Education Committee members of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, they may be respected, but if not, what do mere Soul Douluo amount to?
"Uncle Bone is right!"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes were filled with fervor.
"No matter what, we must give it a try!"
"Even if we don't succeed, we can still make an investment to ensure that such a prodigy won't become an enemy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan in the future."
That saying, "If you can't make them work for you, then…"
Only applies to those without a strong background.
After hearing this, Chen Xin and Gu Rong had no objections and nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi seemed to think of something and subconsciously said, "Uncle Sword, don't you find something odd?"
"???"
"Tang Hao's attitude makes me feel like he's hiding something."
"I've also gathered information on his son, Tang San."
"He's quite a decent genius, and he's being personally taught by Yu Xiaogang, the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader."
"But his martial spirit is just Blue Silver Grass!"
This was the reason for Ning Fengzhi's confusion.
A hundred-thousand-year-old spirit ring on Blue Silver Grass? Isn't that a waste of such a treasure?
But Tang Hao actually did it, which means there must be a secret he's hiding!
If Tang San was just an ordinary genius, given Tang Hao's connection with the clan, he wouldn't have left Xiao Wu with him!
A hundred-thousand-year-old spirit ring—wouldn't it be better to have another powerful Titled Douluo?
"Fengzhi, what kind of Blue Silver Grass could have innate full spirit power?"
"If the clan and Spirit Hall's research on martial spirits isn't wrong, the strength of the martial spirit should correspond to the innate spirit power. Blue Silver Grass couldn't possibly have innate full spirit power!"
"For Twin Martial Spirits to be born, the two martial spirits must be of similar quality..."
Dugu Bo knew this, so how could Chen Xin not know?
After all, Chen Xin was an honorary elder of Spirit Hall.
Chen Xin, Tang Hao, and Yu Yuanzhen were all honorary elders of Spirit Hall.
"Tang San's mother—this matter is unclear, but a woman that Tang Hao would take an interest in certainly wouldn't be simple…"
"Tang San's martial spirit might not be Blue Silver Grass at all. The Blue Silver Grass is merely a disguise!"
Chen Xin didn't consider the possibility of twin martial spirits but instead delved into the essence of martial spirits.
Yu Xiaogang, however, stumbled upon the fact that Tang San possessed twin martial spirits by pure chance!
If Tang San had met Dugu Bo first and heard what he had to say, it wouldn't have been hard to see through the flaws in Yu Xiaogang's theory.
What does it mean that Blue Silver Grass can't have innate full spirit power, so there must be another powerful martial spirit?
This doesn't even meet the conditions for the birth of twin martial spirits!
The two martial spirits must be of similar quality for twin martial spirits to be born.
A martial spirit of the same quality as Blue Silver Grass would also be a trash martial spirit. Even if they were twin martial spirits, it would be impossible to have innate full spirit power.
So, from the beginning, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial spirit wasn't an ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and the others simply lacked the knowledge to figure this out!
If they had half-baked knowledge like Yu Xiaogang, they might have guessed that Tang San had twin martial spirits.
Even so, they were right about one thing—Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial spirit was not just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
The scene shifts to Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.
As in the original timeline, Blue Tyrant Academy was handed over to Flender by Liu Erlong as a form of compensation. This was the least she could do for him since emotions cannot be forced.
Lately, Xiao Wu had been feeling very unsettled.
She had a strong premonition that not only had Zhongli discovered her true identity, but the Titled Douluo they encountered that day had also figured it out!
What puzzled Xiao Wu was that neither of these Titled Douluo made a move against her. Instead, they seemed to ignore her completely…
Shouldn't they be keeping her confined?
Waiting until they needed a spirit ring…
Just thinking about it made Xiao Wu shiver.
The longer they didn't act, the more uneasy Xiao Wu felt. She had the urge to flee, but she couldn't bear to leave Tang San.
Wandering aimlessly, Xiao Wu found herself in the back hills of the academy.
Suddenly, a plant hidden in a corner caught her attention.
"???"
"This… this is?"
Xiao Wu was stunned, finding it hard to believe.
Among the flowers planted by Liu Erlong, there was actually a Transformation Grass!
Yes, Transformation Grass!
For spirit beasts that wanted to take human form or had already done so, the Transformation Grass was a priceless treasure.
As long as it had matured for over ten thousand years, consuming the Transformation Grass would allow a spirit beast to take human form.
And even without reaching the seventieth level, there would be no leakage of any aura!
Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to tell if it was a human or a beast.
In the Divine Realm.
"The Water and Fire Dragon King's remains have mysteriously vanished. This Asura Sword Sheath must not be lost for now…"
It was like a whisper, filled with doubt.
After these words, everything fell silent again.
There is no such thing as luck—it's just a script that's already been written.
Xiao Wu looked around carefully and, seeing no one nearby, hurriedly uprooted the Transformation Grass. Without caring about the soil still clinging to it, she quickly ate it.
"From now on, no one will be able to see through my true identity!"
Zhongli: "…"
Xiao Wu wasn't wrong about that, though. However, Zhongli wasn't exactly human either…
