"Additionally, your Martial Spirit seems to have issues. Whether you can maintain your current training pace until the next Spirit Master Competition is something you need to be aware of."
"You!" Ma Hongjun's eyes widened as he looked at Su Wen in shock.
Su Wen could actually see the problem with his Martial Spirit?
"Isn't it obvious that your Martial Spirit has issues just by looking at it?" Su Wen said matter-of-factly.
This made the surrounding Spirit Masters' faces darken.
None of them had noticed any issues with Ma Hongjun's Martial Spirit.
If there is an issue, it's probably because it's too powerful, and the flames are too difficult to deal with.
"And you, the lazy genius Food Spirit Master, I don't know how Shrek was lucky enough to recruit you, but obviously Shrek hasn't fully tapped into your potential," Su Wen said, looking at Oscar.
He didn't give Shrek's group much time to be angry, continuing to address the many Spirit Masters around him: "It's not just them. Anyone here who is dissatisfied with their current training situation or confused about their Martial Spirit can come to me. I'm just a humble scholar who can help you solve your problems. Of course, if you can't find me, you can also join the Wisdom Palace I've established to find answers."
Everyone: ???
Everyone was bewildered.
They glanced at the backs of the Shrek group's uniforms and then at Su Wen.
Hey, buddy, you're making Shrek's school uniform advertisement look stupid like this.
"You can think of Wisdom Palace as an academy. You can enter it to gain knowledge without having to give anything or take any responsibility," Su Wen introduced the Wisdom Palace to the many talented Spirit Masters.
Unfortunately, Su Wen's introduction now seemed quite pale and powerless.
Except for those who knew him, the other Spirit Masters completely ignored it.
Knowledge?
What use does a Spirit Master have for knowledge?
Just like Spirit Masters don't need to use their brains in battles, why should they bother learning knowledge for training?
Su Wen wasn't disappointed with the effect of his self-promotion.
Anyway, it was just a casual mention, planting a seed in their minds for now.
It wouldn't take long before this seed would bloom and bear fruit in Spirit City.
Due to Tang San's identity not being exposed, the large group traveling to Spirit City did not encounter any so-called assassination attempts.
...
Spirit City.
The Palace of the Pope.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Bibi Dong, who was seated in the Pope's position, her face still beautiful but now exuding even more dignity and nobility. His emotions were in turmoil.
"Bibi Dong, you are still as beautiful as before," Yu Xiaogang said.
Bibi Dong's gaze was cold and fierce, but there was also a hint of gentleness in it. She looked at Yu Xiaogang, and upon hearing his words, her icy heart softened slightly.
However, she forced herself to maintain a cold attitude towards Yu Xiaogang.
As far as she knew, this Yu Xiaogang had actually brought Shrek Academy to join the Blue Tyrant Academy, joining the academy founded by Liu Erlong, the object of his forbidden love!
"Elder Yu, I wonder what important matter brings you to see me with the Elder's token?" she said coldly. "Although you hold the Elder's token, it does not mean you can freely enter and exit my Pope's palace."
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's address to him, Yu Xiaogang's gaze dimmed.
He knew that Bibi Dong was distancing herself from him.
It wasn't "Xiaogang" or any other term, but "Elder Yu." What a distant title it was.
"Your Majesty, I have come this time to seek advice on a matter."
"Do you, the esteemed Grandmaster, still have anything you don't understand?" Bibi Dong mocked.
The title of Grandmaster resonated throughout the continent, but only those who truly studied the theory knew how much of it was actually unvalid.
And Bibi Dong was one of those who knew.
In fact, Bibi Dong's theoretical level surpassed that of the so-called 'Grandmaster' Yu Xiaogang.
However, she never bothered to summarize the ten core competencies or use Spirit Hall's channels to publish any theories.
Yu Xiaogang remained silent for a moment before saying, "Su Wen's situation should be on file at Spirit Hall. I want to see his Spirit Master registration information."
"Hmm?" Bibi Dong frowned.
"While Spirit Hall does keep records of Spirit Masters, ultimately, it's considered the Spirit Master's privacy. Elder Yu, your request is somewhat inappropriate," she replied.
"As the holder of the Elder's token, am I not even allowed to view the information of an ordinary Spirit Master?" Yu Xiaogang took out the Elder's token and asked.
Bibi Dong fell silent.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo beside her felt disgusted.
Where did this Yu Xiaogang get the Elder's token from?
He's not worthy of this token at all!
Even when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect provided Su Wen's information in the past, it was done with the blessing of the Elder's token, and they also paid additional costs.
Is Yu Xiaogang trying to freeload with just an Elder's token?
Moreover, from Yu Xiaogang's words, it seemed he wanted comprehensive information about Su Wen.
Even if they didn't know Su Wen's true value, they found it repulsive.
The Elder's token grants privileges, but it doesn't mean you can use it indiscriminately. You can have the authority of an honorary Elder, but each use should entail some form of repayment to Spirit Hall, right? Otherwise, what's the point of issuing this token?
The top three sects all adhere to basic principles. They would pay a price for using the Elder's token's authority within Spirit Hall, rather than questioning the usefulness of the token under the guise of acting as an honorary Elder.
Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly, "Alright."
"Is there anything else? If not, Elder Yu can take Su Wen's information and leave."
Clearly, she was also infuriated by Yu Xiaogang's actions.
"I have one more thing, it's personal and may also involve you Majesty's cultivation privacy."
Asking about privacy?
If it weren't for Pope not signaling anything and Yu Xiaogang holding the Elder's token, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo would have thrown out this shameless guy long ago.
"Go on."
"I want to know how to simultaneously attach Spirit Rings to twin Martial Spirits."
"Oh?" Bibi Dong's slender eyes narrowed slightly.
"If I understand correctly, you have a disciple named Tang San, and you are preparing for him?"
"Yes," Yu Xiaogang admitted.
He knew Bibi Dong also had some knowledge of theory, and from Tang San's innate full Soul Power and his Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit, it could be inferred that Tang San had twin Martial Spirits.
As for why Bibi Dong knew he had a disciple named Tang San and even investigated Tang San's information, he subconsciously avoided thinking about it.
"No techniques needed, just forcibly absorb them. If you don't want your disciple to have problems, I advise you not to let him cultivate a second Martial Spirit," Bibi Dong snorted coldly.
Then, without giving Yu Xiaogang a chance, she had Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo escort him out.
"Forcibly absorb?" Yu Xiaogang frowned, very dissatisfied with Bibi Dong's answer.
Even if it was just a perfunctory response, it shouldn't be like this, right?
