After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, Su Ran looked at the other students and asked.
"Actually, ③ is very important, but no matter how good the attributes are, if you can't even achieve Human-Spirit fusion, how can you talk about optimization?"
Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran, along with several other Core Disciples, raised their hands and spoke up: "So we also believe ② is more important. Human-Spirit fusion has always been the key to our Cultivation, and it has indeed made us stronger."
This view received unanimous approval from the academy's Core Disciples.
After all, it was through Human-Spirit fusion that they had witnessed Wang Sheng's Tiger Form Fist overpower Dai Mubai across Ranks, Zhu Zhuqing's Spirit Cat's infinite enemy tracking, Dugu Yan's Snake suppressing Dragon, and other such feats.
"Are there any different opinions?"
Since several Core Disciples approved of option ②, other Named Disciples and Junior Sisters naturally considered it the best answer.
On the contrary, Demon Subduing Douluo, who had come to Peach Garden Academy as a guest with Qian Renxue, was also observing and couldn't help but speak:
"Teacher Su, isn't spirit power the most important? Controlling the power of one's Spirit isn't that difficult. No matter what, the Spirit is one's own, and with Cultivation, we Spirit Masters will become more proficient with it. However, spirit power improvement represents the possibility of new, more powerful Spirit Abilities being born, and it can bring a power boost to the Spirit Master, making them superior to others."
When you achieve Human-Spirit fusion, I've already gained an extra spirit ring and Spirit Ability. How will you fight?
Before Su Ran could speak, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the other students had already cast strange glances at Demon Subduing Douluo, as if looking at an idiot.
This made Demon Subduing Douluo lose his confidence, and he rubbed his head:
"Could it be... that what I said is wrong? This is the Dao summarized by generations of Spirit Master development, this is how we all came to be."
"Many rings, many bones, one wave of skill and power; few rings, few bones, turn around and run."
"Pfft~"
Hearing the theory of 'few rings, few bones, turn around and run,' even Wang Sheng couldn't help but let out a laugh from the side.
Xiao Chenyu arrived late and didn't know why Wang Sheng was laughing foolishly, so he couldn't help but ask: "Godfather Senior Brother, is there something wrong with what he said?"
"You brat, what are you laughing at? This is all standard theory recorded in our Spirit Hall Spirit Master handbook. Do you have some insight or something?"
Demon Subduing Douluo was also annoyed by Wang Sheng's laugh. He had been a guest at Peach Garden Academy for a few days now, and it was one thing for these heavenly maidens to laugh at him, but what was the deal with this big oaf, who only knew how to bring his little brothers to practice boxing at the school gate every day, laughing at him? Wasn't this an insult and disrespect?
"Sorry, sorry, I was trying to hold it in, but I really couldn't. I apologize."
Wang Sheng apologized to Demon Subduing Douluo.
The apology only made it worse; Demon Subduing Douluo's Face flushed even more.
Wasn't this mocking his insights as so pathetic that even Wang Sheng couldn't help but laugh?
"You brat, you must tell me today, what are you laughing at."
Demon Subduing Douluo quickly walked towards Wang Sheng, putting himself in a defensive stance against Wang Sheng and Xiao Chenyu.
It was Su Ran who spoke calmly:
"Today is an open class, speak freely. Wang Sheng, tell Demon Subduing Douluo your thoughts, why are you laughing?"
Wang Sheng nodded respectfully and said:
"Replying to Teacher, I just couldn't help but laugh when I thought of the scene Demon Subduing Douluo described: 'few rings, few bones, turn around and run.' If that's the case, then there's no need for us Spirit Masters to fight. We can just directly show our spirit power Rank and the Spirit Bones on our bodies, compare whose spirit power Rank is higher and who has more Spirit Bones, and then just declare the Spirit Master with higher Rank and more Spirit Bones as the winner."
"And those with weaker spirit power, upon seeing a Spirit Master with higher spirit power, would just turn tail and run, not daring to engage. I find that very interesting."
After Wang Sheng finished speaking, Demon Subduing Douluo's old Face flushed. Upon closer thought, it seemed there was some truth to it.
And according to this Spirit Master Dao, then in the Soul Master Competition, how would it be calculated when those with slightly lower spirit power defeated those with higher spirit power?
However, Demon Subduing Douluo was, after all, a revered Enshrined of Spirit Hall. How could he allow these juniors to so openly challenge his Face?
"Nonsense. Many rings and many bones are naturally based on the premise of Spirits of similar quality. If the Spirit qualities are vastly different, then of course that's another matter."
Demon Subduing Douluo's participation, however, piqued Su Ran's interest:
"Since Demon Subduing Douluo believes that many rings and many bones are more important, and my Disciples believe that Human-Spirit fusion is more important, why don't we invite Demon Subduing Douluo to compress his spirit power to the Spirit Emperor Realm of over Rank 60 and Face my Spirit King Realm Disciples? You can use Spirit Abilities. Whoever wins, is correct. How about it?"
Demon Subduing Douluo smiled: "Dean Su, wouldn't that be inappropriate? Wouldn't it be said that I, Demon Subduing, am bullying the young?"
"No matter. This is an academic discussion, unrelated to seniority," Su Ran said indifferently.
"Since Dean Su says so, then please, anyone can come!"
Demon Subduing Douluo stomped his foot, walked into an open space in the peach forest, swept his sleeve, and said.
