"Really?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Quan with shock in her eyes. She had personally witnessed how much pain and suffering Tang San endured when he absorbed a spirit ring beyond his Rank. She knew her own limits and that she wouldn't be able to withstand it.
But now, with an Immortal Herb, she could absorb a spirit ring up to 2,500 years old?
Is this Immortal Herb's medicinal power that potent?
"Of course, it's real." Shi Quan said with a faint smile, "After you absorb the spirit ring, your spirit power Rank should directly increase to around Rank 35."
"What?!" Zhu Zhuqing's expression immediately showed a hint of worry upon hearing this. "It can increase that much? Will increasing my strength too quickly lead to an unstable Foundation?"
Shi Quan shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry. Immortal Herb is a treasure that strengthens the Foundation and Cultivates the origin. All improvements will not affect your Foundation. Not only will it not affect it, but it will also make your Foundation deeper and transform your Innate talent. You will understand the miraculous uses of this Immortal Herb in the future."
"That powerful!?" Zhu Zhuqing's mouth was slightly agape. After a pause, she looked at Shi Quan seriously, "What did Zhuang Zhou exchange with you for such a treasure?"
Shi Quan smiled and pointed to his head: "Knowledge."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What does 'knowledge' mean?"
Shi Quan smiled, indicating that she didn't need to worry, "Don't worry, it was just a matter of him opening his mouth; he didn't lose anything. And I genuinely used such an Immortal Herb to exchange for it."
"Really?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Quan, half-believing, half-doubting.
Shi Quan said with a wry smile, "Of course it's real. Oh, by the way, how have you considered Zhuang Zhou's suggestion for you to Cultivate with me? Here, you'll improve much faster than with that Trash."
"Alright." Zhu Zhuqing considered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Good. Anyway, Shrek Academy is going to be merged into Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I'll talk to the Education Committee later to transfer you over." Shi Quan nodded, "Let's go. The Shrek people should still be waiting for you. If I'm not mistaken, you should be meeting the Education Committee this morning, right?"
"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded. Calculating the time, she had already delayed for a while.
The two then got up and quickly walked towards the courtyard where Shrek was resting.
However, when they arrived at the courtyard, there was no one there.
"They must have gone ahead. Let's go, I'll take you to the Education Committee." Seeing this, Shi Quan led Zhu Zhuqing towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Education Committee.
Because they were worried about keeping the Three Great Committee Members waiting too long, Flender and the others had no choice but to bring Tang San and the others to visit the Three Great Committee Members first.
Inside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Education Committee.
Xiao Wu frantically tried her best to conceal her aura. A Spirit Beast that has transformed into human form is collectively referred to as being in its infancy before Rank 60 spirit power. At this stage, any Spirit Master above the Spirit Douluo Rank can discover her existence.
And sitting in front of her were three powerhouses of the Spirit Douluo Rank. With just a slight carelessness, her identity as a 100,000-year Spirit Beast would be exposed.
Fortunately, the attention of these three Spirit Douluo was focused on Tang San.
Vast spirit power fluctuations continuously pressed in on Tang San from all directions.
Pfft—the Blue Silver Grass surrounding Tang San scattered, and eight dark green Eight Spider Lances appeared behind Tang San.
"Thank you, Zhi Lin Spirit Douluo, for your assistance." Master stood up with a slight smile and bowed to Zhi Lin.
Master smiled faintly, then explained the matter of the Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances fusing with Tang San's body.
Meng Shenji and the other two were all shocked when they heard about the external Spirit Bone.
They originally thought Tang San's talent was a bit inferior to Shi Quan's, but with an external Spirit Bone, that was another matter entirely.
With the existence of this external Spirit Bone, Tang San was enough to match Shi Quan's talent, and Tang San was truly Innate full spirit power. If they considered it carefully, perhaps Tang San's future achievements would even be a bit higher than Shi Quan's.
Another rare Genius, and he also came with two Spirit Saints, three Spirit Emperors, and another Spirit Master theoretical Master.
A sure profit.
Meng Shenji also agreed to provide Tang San and the others with the best Cultivation facilities and environment, and promised that it didn't matter even if Shrek Academy didn't represent Heaven Dou Royal Academy in battles.
As a long cry fell, Tang San once again attracted everyone's attention. Under Zhi Lin's pressure, he not only fused the Spirit Bone with his body but also had a spirit power Breakthrough to Rank 34.
Flender then began to brag about Yu Xiaogang, saying that they couldn't take credit for Tang San's abilities. He was Master's direct Disciple, attributing everything about Tang San to Yu Xiaogang.
Hearing Flender's words, the gaze of the Three Great Committee Members couldn't help but fall on Yu Xiaogang. Yu Xiaogang met the gaze of the Three Great Committee Members, immediately puffing out his chest with a confident expression.
"We have long heard of Master's reputation. Seeing it today, you are indeed worthy of the name Master." Meng Shenji praised him unreservedly.
Hearing the praise from Meng Shenji, a Spirit Douluo, Yu Xiaogang immediately felt a bit flattered.
"Then this matter is settled. Teacher Qin, I'll trouble you to make the arrangements."
After another discussion, the matter was finally decided with Meng Shenji's command.
The Shrek group then stood up and bid farewell to the Three Great Committee Members. As they walked out of the Education Committee, Xiao Wu finally let out a sigh of relief.
Because of Shi Quan's actions yesterday, Xue Beng did not bring Prince Xue Xing to cause trouble for Shrek today.
Shrek Academy was also officially merged into Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
As soon as everyone walked out of the Education Committee, they happened to meet Zhu Zhuqing and Shi Quan, who were approaching.
Upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing, Flender immediately frowned and sternly reprimanded, "Zhuqing, where did you go? Don't you know there's such an important matter today? Fortunately, the Three Great Committee Members didn't blame us, otherwise, the entire Shrek Academy would have been implicated because of you."
"Dean Flender, please don't make such accusations." Shi Quan said indifferently.
"Forget it, Dean. Junior sister must have been busy with something important, which caused the delay. It's fine." Qin Ming quickly interjected, then looked at Shi Quan, "Shi Quan, you also need to be more respectful. Dean Flender has now led the entire Shrek Academy to merge into Heaven Dou Royal Academy. All of them are now members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. In the coming time, they will train with us, and you can also get to know each other."
"Train together?" Shi Quan raised an eyebrow, looking at Qin Ming with a half-smile, "Training together is fine, but first, let them call me Teacher Shi?"
"You…" Dai Mubai and the others were immediately enraged.
Qin Ming quickly said, "They are just training with us. Their training plan will be set by themselves. Shi Quan, you don't need to be responsible for their training."
"Is that so?" Shi Quan glanced at Yu Xiaogang, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing finally spoke, "Dean, I've broken through to Rank 30."
"What? Rank 30?" Flender said in surprise. Tang San and the others were also startled, their gazes all falling on Shi Quan.
Last night, when Zhu Zhuqing left, her strength was only Rank 28, on the verge of breaking through to Rank 29. Yet, in just one night, Zhu Zhuqing had directly broken through Rank 28 and even reached Rank 30 in one go.
"Zhuqing, why has your strength suddenly increased so much?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Guess?" Shi Quan looked at Ning Rongrong.
"Did I ask you?" Ning Rongrong glared at Shi Quan.
"Prying into others' secrets isn't a good habit."
"Hmph!" Ning Rongrong's mouth slightly opened, and she snorted coldly before saying, "If I don't ask, I don't ask. I'm not curious."
After everyone exchanged glances, seeing Ning Rongrong say that, they also felt awkward about actively prying into the secret of Zhu Zhuqing's strength improvement. Such a big change was clearly due to something Zhuang Zhou had Shi Quan bring to Zhu Zhuqing.
What exactly it was, they didn't know.
"Qin Ming, if I remember correctly, Heaven Dou City is very close to Sunset Forest, right?" Flender looked at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming nodded, "Yes, Junior Sister Zhuqing can get her third spirit ring in Sunset Forest. The Spirit Beast resources in Sunset Forest are very abundant, so it won't be difficult to help Junior Sister Zhuqing find a suitable spirit ring."
"Good, tomorrow we'll go help Zhuqing get her third spirit ring." Flender nodded happily, all his previous anger completely gone.
"Zhuqing, we can talk about other things later, no rush. I'll go take care of other matters first." Shi Quan was too lazy to deal with the Shrek people. If they weren't still somewhat useful, he would have wished Xue Beng would quickly kick them out.
Master and Tang San remained silent throughout, watching Shi Quan's departing figure, wondering what they were thinking.
Ning Rongrong also spoke, "Dean, since there's nothing going on today, I'd like to go home first."
Flender nodded in agreement, and Ning Rongrong also left.
Qin Ming continued to lead the Shrek group towards the Heaven Dou Battle Team's training ground, introducing the various training areas and equipment of the Heaven Dou Battle Team as they walked. At the same time, the group also greeted Yu Feng and the others.
Upon hearing that the Shrek Academy people would be training with them, Yu Feng and the others all had somewhat displeased expressions, only Yu Tianheng was exceptionally happy.
As for Shi Quan, after parting ways, he directly left Heaven Dou Royal Academy and headed towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Zhu Zhuqing's increase in strength had already lit the fuse, and it was time to have Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling return to help this fire burn even bigger.
He was gambling that Tang Hao was definitely in Heaven Dou Royal Academy. After all, the Blue Silver Emperor and the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone had been stolen for so long, and there hadn't been any major news in the Spirit Master's world.
If Tang Hao hadn't caused any trouble, then he would definitely be guarding his only current hope — Tang San.
As long as this flame of jealousy and greed could ignite, Tang Hao would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Clearly, Shi Quan had gambled correctly.
Night fell.
Tang Hao's figure appeared in Master's room.
"Master."
Hearing Tang Hao's familiar voice, Master suddenly stood up, looking at Tang Hao excitedly, "Hao Tian Douluo, you've come…"
