Chapter 9: Ice-Blue Spirit Ring.
Nangong Yi, having reaped a bountiful harvest, returned to his residence.
As soon as he entered, he saw Qian Daoliu, who had been waiting there long before.
"Where have you been?" Qian Daoliu asked in confusion.
"Hunting." Nangong Yi shook his delicate amethyst bracelet.
Qian Daoliu's eyes twitched. "Hunting?"
Hunting in Wuhun City? And even finding this kind of high-level storage spirit guide?
You're just trying to get something for nothing?!
"You really went robbing?" Qian Daoliu's face ached.
He hadn't noticed for a moment. Why was this kid so boisterous?
He just didn't know whose unlucky child this kid had run into.
"How is that possible?" Nangong Yi walked in, sat down, and began to eat the snacks Qian Daoliu had brought.
"Do I look like that kind of person to you?"
"..." Qian Daoliu.
You don't look like one, but you are!
Nangong Yi's temperament was indeed righteous and awe-inspiring, but after only knowing this kid for a few days, he had already deeply understood a truth.
Don't be fooled by the superficial appearance of things!
"Don't slander someone out of thin air, okay?" Nangong Yi was speechless.
"I was robbed, but luckily I was more skilled and managed to counterattack."
Qian Daoliu's face was filled with disbelief. "How could you be robbed in Wuhun City? Do you think this is Tiandou City?"
"But I was robbed." Nangong Yi shrugged.
"One was Hu Liena, one was Xie Yue, and the other was Yan."
"Hu Liena even treated me to breakfast."
"And then she turned around and teamed up with others to rob me. It really shows how morals have deteriorated and how people have changed. I thought she was a kind and beautiful sister and was planning to treat her to a nice meal another day, but then..."
Nangong Yi looked at the amethyst bracelet in his hand and sighed deeply.
"She really broke my heart!"
Qian Daoliu looked at him strangely. "You..."
"I really hope she can hurt me more times," Nangong Yi sighed.
"I feel like I can make a fortune thanks to her."
"..." Qian Daoliu's face froze.
You kid!
...
"Teacher, I... I was robbed."
In the side hall of the Pope's Palace, Hu Liena, who had become a pauper after going out, came to Bibi Dong to cry.
"Robbery?" Bibi Dong was stunned.
"Are you on a mission?"
The Spirit Hall Academy has some outdoor missions. Completing the mission can earn contribution points, which can be exchanged for some training materials in the academy, or directly exchanged for money.
Hu Liena would take on some missions in her spare time.
However, those missions are basically in Spirit City or around Spirit City. It is impossible to encounter any bandits, right?
"It's not a mission, I was robbed by a child." Hu Liena was a little embarrassed.
It's so embarrassing that I can't even beat a child!
"Child?" Bibi Dong didn't understand.
Hu Liena is a twelve-year-old Soul Master. How could a child rob her?
"Teacher, don't be angry first." Hu Liena looked guilty.
If possible, she also wanted to solve this matter on her own, but the soul guide given by the teacher was lost. If she didn't get it back, the teacher would be even more angry when he found out that she had lost it!
Moreover, Nangong Yi seemed to have a relationship with the chief priest. She didn't dare to force the child, so she could only quickly find the teacher to admit her mistake.
"Didn't you ask Ghost Grandpa to investigate a child? That child was so alert, Ghost Grandpa didn't know how to proceed. So, I helped him approach the child and extract some information from him. However, something went wrong during the process, and then..."
"Nana." Bibi Dong's face straightened.
"Tell me the whole story from beginning to end."
Hu Liena wasn't one to be soft-hearted. Even with a child, even if she couldn't achieve her goal, she wouldn't turn around and threaten to rob them. So, there was definitely something wrong with that child!
"It's like this..."
Hu Liena recounted the entire story from her first meeting with Nangong Yi this morning, how she paid for him, until she was threatened by "Naked" and had to hand over her belongings, and how Yan was actually struck naked by a Frost Break.
Of course, the part about Yan was Xie Yue's advice, telling her to be careful. That little ghost's moves were no joke!
He could really strip someone naked!
"A Qilin hatched from an egg, and the Qilin transformed into armor... a spirit skill that can leave a person naked?"
Bibi Dong became increasingly confused as she listened.
What the hell was this?
How could this be so confusing?
Aren't martial spirits supposed to possess a body directly? How could a martial spirit first appear in egg form, then hatch, and finally transform into armor?
What kind of martial spirit is this?
The Qilin form is considered a beast spirit, but if it transforms into armor, doesn't that make it a weapon spirit?
"By the way, his spirit ring is also strange. It's ice blue, so beautiful!" Hu Liena added.
"Ice blue spirit ring?" Bibi Dong couldn't help but touch Hu Liena's forehead.
Could this kid have been hit by that Ice Breaker and had a brain problem?
Spirit rings, in descending order of age, are white, yellow, purple, black, and red.
Where did this ice blue spirit ring come from?
"Teacher, I'm not mistaken. That's an ice blue spirit ring!" Hu Liena grabbed Bibi Dong's hand and said seriously.
"This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful spirit ring. I can't be mistaken!"
"And Grandpa Ghost and the others saw it too."
Bibi Dong was still a little skeptical.
"Yue Guan!"
Yue Guan, who had been waiting outside the hall, flew in.
"Your Holiness."
"Nana said that child has an ice-blue spirit ring?" Bibi Dong asked.
Hu Liena might have been frightened at the time, or perhaps her cultivation level was insufficient, and she was mesmerized by that unique martial spirit and mistaken.
But Yue Guan, a level 95 Titled Douluo, couldn't be mistaken.
"Your Holiness, that child does have an ice-blue spirit ring," Yue Guan said.
"I was a little confused at the time, too, thinking I was mistaken, but Old Ghost also saw ice blue, so there's no mistake."
In his entire life, this was truly the first time he had seen a spirit ring of that color.
However...
"Your Holiness, I feel that his spirit ring is a little different from normal spirit rings," Yue Guan said.
As a Titled Douluo, he could roughly determine the age of a low-level spirit master's spirit rings and judge the power of their spirit skills with just a glance.
Moreover, the spirit ring contained the resentment of the dead spirit beast. Even a Titled Douluo with such powerful spiritual power could sense it if he carefully sensed it.
However, he was attracted by the strange ice-blue spirit ring at that time. When he carefully felt it, he found that it did not have any resentment at all. On the contrary...
It contained an extremely warm aura!
"What's the difference?" Bibi Dong asked.
"That thing of his doesn't look like a spirit ring!" Yue Guan said seriously.
"Not like a spirit ring?" Bibi Dong was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Yue Guan paused. "I can't describe it, Your Holiness, I suggest you go and see it for yourself. That thing... is truly strange!"
"And it's really beautiful!" Hu Liena emphasized.
The huge ice-blue halo was like fluttering snowflakes, flickering.
It was completely different from the lifeless and even somewhat eerie spirit rings on their bodies!
That thing... is very warm!
