Xiao Tian then told Da Ming and the others his suggestions for modifying Xiao Wu's fifth Spirit Ability.
Da Ming nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, that's not bad. If Xiao Wu Jie can succeed, the increase in combat power will be much stronger than Soft Bones Lock."
Gradually, an hour later, Xiao Wu's fifth spirit ring turned from purple to black. Half an hour later, the fifth spirit ring completely condensed!
Xiao Wu opened her eyes, a look of joy on her face, and looked at Xiao Tian, "Brother, I succeeded!"
Xiao Tian: "Xiao Wu, what is your fifth Spirit Ability?"
Xiao Wu smiled, "Brother, my fifth Spirit Ability is called Soft Bones Sublimation. After using it, it can increase strength, speed, defense, and spirit power recovery speed by two hundred percent respectively."
Xiao Tian nodded upon hearing this. A two-fold increase means an overall three-fold amplification, which is very good!
Moreover, it was a twenty-thousand-year fifth spirit ring. One must know that Xiao Wu's fourth spirit ring, Paragon Golden Body, was only seven thousand five hundred years.
That afternoon, Xiao Tian received another summons from Qian Renxue.
Xiao Tian was a little confused in his heart, wondering why this woman kept looking for him. He had no interest in women.
Crown Prince's bedchamber.
The moment Xiao Tian entered, the door was forcibly closed by a strong gust of wind.
Xiao Tian looked at the calm and composed Qian Renxue and frowned, "What does Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?"
Qian Renxue smiled, "Xiao Tian, I'm very curious, why did you disappear again during this period?"
Xiao Tian: "I went out for something, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'm not your subordinate now, isn't this a bit of an invasion of my privacy?"
Xiao Tian was indeed a little angry. This Qian Renxue had been monitoring him, and now he didn't know what she wanted to do.
Qian Renxue pointed to the chair beside her, motioning for Xiao Tian to sit down, and then said, "Xiao Tian, don't be so agitated. I just accidentally found out that you seem to be establishing a Sect recently? What? Is the Academy or the Empire not treating you well?"
Xiao Tian's lips curled slightly, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's just establishing a Sect. I said before that I don't like the feeling of being restrained. Establishing my own Sect and being a Sect Master is actually quite nice. Of course, there are exceptions..."
Qian Renxue immediately became interested upon hearing this, "Oh? What exception?"
Xiao Tian stared at Qian Renxue's male face and said, "Unless someone can defeat me with their strength, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, since your intelligence is so extensive, you probably even know about my past, right? From my birth until now, I have never tasted defeat. Of course, those who bully the weak don't count, and those older than me can't be too much older."
Xiao Tian's words were full of hints. What was Qian Renxue planning to do?
After this trip to Spirit City, when the Competition ends, he will go directly to Shu Mountain instead of returning to Heaven Dou City. This should be their last private conversation, right? Qian Renxue: Can't be too much older, hmm, that's normal.
Qian Renxue secretly calculated. She was also a Spirit Emperor now, and Xiao Tian should also be a Spirit Emperor, but she didn't know Xiao Tian's specific level.
With the advantage brought by her SeraphimSpirit, she should be able to defeat Xiao Tian, right?
This was the first time she had doubted her own strength.
Moreover, she was already twenty-three years old, while Xiao Tian was only fourteen. They were nine years apart, but their spirit power levels were not that different.
This couldn't help but make her wonder if her laxity in cultivation for so many years, in order to maintain this disguise as the Crown Prince, was worth it.
Qian Renxue tentatively asked, "How much older is 'not too much older'?"
Xiao Tian pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "Hmm, I'm fourteen years old now, a Spirit Emperor. If the opponent is also a Spirit Emperor like me, they probably won't be my match. If they are a Spirit Saint, under the effect of Martial Soul True Body, they might be able to fight me. So, under thirty years old would be fine."
Qian Renxue's forehead seemed to throb with blue veins. Such arrogant remarks made her very uncomfortable. She really didn't believe that she couldn't defeat Xiao Tian.
"Oh? So confident? What if the opponent is a Spirit Emperor, but possesses a very strong Spirit? And their talent is also good, can you still defeat them?" Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Tian with a half-smile.
However, Xiao Tian shook his head and stared at Qian Renxue, saying, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I haven't heard of any Spirit Emperor on the Continent with a very strong Spirit yet? Of course, I'm referring to at least a top-tier Spirit, and I've basically never heard of a Spirit Emperor under thirty years old."
Immediately, Xiao Tian pretended to be surprised and looked at Qian Renxue, saying, "Wait, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you're not talking about yourself, are you? But shouldn't your Spirit be the Empire's inherited Swan Spirit? Although it's a bit offensive, you couldn't possibly be a Spirit Emperor now, I've never heard of it."
Qian Renxue did not answer Xiao Tian's words, but instead asked, "Xiao Tian, I've always been curious, why didn't you go to Spirit Hall after you left Shrek Academy? You came from a commoner background, so you should have a better impression of Spirit Hall, right? With your talent, those so-called Golden Generation probably wouldn't even be worth mentioning, right?"
Xiao Tian calmly said, "Spirit Hall's policies for commoners are indeed very useful to me, but Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you overlooked one point. I was with three companions at the time. I won't mention Xiao Wu, but Rongrong and Zhuqing are both nobles, you should be aware of that, right? The forces they belong to would not allow them to join Spirit Hall with me."
Qian Renxue then realized, "So... this is also why you established your own force?"
She knew that since Zhuqing was now with Xiao Tian, it meant she would resist the Star Luo Empire's inheritance system. After the Soul Master Competition, it would be impossible for her to return to the Star Luo Empire.
As for Rongrong, since this place was found with the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it meant that the two Sects would also cooperate in the future. Rongrong might also have certain rights within Xiao Tian's force.
Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Tian and inexplicably smiled, "So, your ultimate choice of Heaven Dou Royal Academy was merely to participate in the upcoming Soul Master Competition, right?"
Xiao Tian knew that the person in front of him was Qian Renxue, so he spoke very frankly, "That's right. After the Soul Master Competition ends, we'll be considered graduated. And as commoners, we are inherently incompatible with the Empire's systems. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't say anything about the Academy cultivating me, and yet I want to be independent or anything like that.
I will bring a championship to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. How great an honor is that, you should be clear, right? The All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition has been held three times in total, and the Heaven Dou Empire imperial family has never won a championship. I don't need to say more about the value of this, do I?"
