Ning Rongrong is very understanding. She can distinguish the importance of things.
Su Wen could help her gain combat abilities, but that was only possible with Su Wen's assistance.
She herself had no combat abilities.
If she were to arrogantly absorb Spirit Rings of higher grades, it would only attract a large number of attacks.
"Well, Rongrong, you should also know that your father is doing this for your own good," Ning Fengzhi's expression softened, speaking gently.
He also hoped to confirm his own speculations.
But Ning Rongrong was his daughter!
If it were just about consuming some heavenly treasures to verify, he would certainly help Rongrong find them without hesitation, and then urge her to consume them only if it was safe.
But if it involved the risky method of absorbing Spirit Rings beyond her level, he would rather not test any of these speculations at all.
Even after more than three months of theoretical verification, extensive speculation, and even completing the logical loop, he did not want his daughter to be the first one to risk her life, even if someone else had already gone through it.
"I won't force the disciples of the sect to attempt it, but I will record this theory in the sect's records. If there are disciples willing to strive for this glimmer of hope in the future, they can give it a try," Ning Fengzhi thought to himself.
"Under normal circumstances, the limit for the second ring is seven hundred and sixty-four years. Rongrong, although you may not be able to absorb a thousand-year-old Spirit Ring easily, I am not opposed to you attempting a Spirit Ring of eight or nine hundred years"
What are the conditions for absorbing Spirit Rings beyond one's level?
In the world of Spirit Masters, there is actually a recognized condition for this, and that is physical fitness.
Su Wen made this direction more specific, and at the same time proposed techniques for effectively and efficiently increasing meridian strength. His theory could even be implemented on paper, which is why his theory received attention in the Spirit Hall.
Firstly, it was a significant breakthrough, and secondly, it didn't waste too many resources; it could be fully implemented.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect may not be aware of Su Wen's theory of absorbing Spirit Rings beyond one's level, but Ning Fengzhi was inspired by Su Wen and deduced the possibility of the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda theoretically.
Absorbing Spirit Rings beyond one's level is hopeful.
For his daughter, he wouldn't let her take risks, but for her, he could also sacrifice a lot.
Why hasn't anyone in the Spirit Master world attempted to research the original method? Naturally, it's because the consumption is too great.
But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect is wealthy!
Strengthening physical fitness?
There are corresponding medicinal materials, there are specialized elixirs, and Ning Fengzhi has collected them for a full three months.
During these three months, Ning Rongrong was occasionally fed various treasures to enhance her physical fitness.
Unfortunately, due to the stage of her physical development and the basic level of her physical fitness, Ning Rongrong's overall improvement was not as dramatic as desired.
Otherwise, if Ning Rongrong truly had a hundred percent hope of withstanding a thousand-year-old Spirit Ring, would Ning Fengzhi still use subtle reasons to persuade her?
Every decision is made by weighing the options.
Ning Fengzhi wants to help his daughter try to absorb Spirit Rings beyond her level to promote the evolution of her Martial Spirit, but he also wants to ensure Ning Rongrong's safety.
Therefore, the decision he made was for eight hundred years or even nine hundred years.
"Uncle Ning, let me tag along too."
Over the past three months, Su Wen has had several theoretical exchanges with Ning Fengzhi. Both sides even regarded each other as brothers in theoretical research.
Ning Fengzhi has more than once exclaimed, "Su Wen's theoretical talent is unparalleled."
This talent isn't just something Book Martial Spirit Spirit Masters possess.
"My presence will provide an extra layer of security."
Su Wen isn't sure if his enhancement Spirit Skill can assist in absorbing Spirit Rings. However, since it involves enhancing physical fitness and is integrative in nature, he believes there is still hope.
"Xiaowen, this time we need to find Spirit Beasts, and it's definitely not just about similar age limits. Even if Master Sword himself takes action, selecting Spirit Beasts with precise age limits will likely take several months. You don't need to come along," Ning Fengzhi shook his head, refusing Su Wen.
He has indeed pondered Su Wen's abilities.
But, how important is such an ability really?
"Xiaowen, try to avoid attempting it. If you fail, you'll feel guilty for the rest of your life watching the other person burst and die," Ning Fengzhi gave a reason to reject Su Wen.
However, Su Wen felt that the real reason for rejecting him wasn't the consequences of failure, but rather the consequences of success.
"If successful, don't worry, for Rongrong's Spirit Ring absorption this time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect has invested more effort than you can imagine."
This was also Ning Fengzhi's confidence in rejecting Su Wen.
...
Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
"Xiaowen, this month you should also be able to advance to the Golden Spirit Badge in the Great Spirit Arena," Qin Ming said.
Reaching the Golden Spirit level in three months isn't fast.
Su Wen isn't a combat fanatic; there have been interruptions, and he hasn't participated in the seven-person group battles much or in frequent two-person battles with Ning Rongrong.
Therefore, his accumulation of combat spirit points isn't excessive.
However, he has been on a winning streak until now.
"After obtaining the Golden Spirit Badge, the Great Spirit Arena will gradually demonstrate its tempering effect on you."
Among the Spirit Masters, those with Silver Spirit Badges can no longer defeat Su Wen. However, among the Spirit Masters who can obtain the Golden Spirit Badge, they are all outstanding individuals at the Spirit Elder level, making it much harder for Su Wen to win.
As a Spirit Grand Master, Su Wen is completely regarded as a Spirit Elder by Qin Ming.
"After Rongrong returns and becomes a Spirit Grand Master, if she teams up with you, you can also engage in challenging higher-level opponents."
A combination of two Spirit Grand Masters challenging two Spirit Elders would provide even greater tempering for Su Wen, especially since Ning Rongrong is only a support.
"Alright, Teacher Qin Ming."
...
Great Spirit Arena.
The points were settled, and the Silver Spirit Badge was upgraded to the Golden Spirit Badge. Su Wen also signed up immediately to challenge Spirit Elders who hold Golden Spirit Badges.
Inside a private room.
A voluptuous woman dressed in a blue robe is watching the arena intently.
"Aunt, I feel like if you act like this, Xiaowen might actually refuse to practice with you," Yu Tianheng hesitated.
The voluptuous woman in the green robe in the private room is naturally Liu Erlong. Today, she came to the Great Spirit Arena to watch Su Wen's first match after obtaining the Golden Spirit Badge.
If he performs well enough, she will teach Su Wen for a while as promised to Yu Luomian. However, Yu Tianheng felt that his aunt might actually make Su Wen refuse.
"Hmph, if he really refuses, then I wouldn't want to teach him either," Liu Erlong sneered coldly, glancing at Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng sighed and said no more.
"'Scholar Warrior' versus 'Vigorous Orangutan' both contestants, get ready."
"Huh!" Liu Erlong exclaimed in surprise.
Two figures appeared on the stage.
One was Su Wen.
The other, known as 'Wild Ape' was Tai Long!
Looking at the opponent across the stage, whose muscles bulged and emitted a savage aura, Su Wen narrowed his eyes.
"About level thirty-one?"
I wonder how he compares to the Silver Spirit Badge Spirit Elders I fought against before.
