[After completing his theories regarding the support aspect, Yu Xiaogang began working on cultivating the team's synergy for group combat.]
[Although his team was somewhat special—a Support Battleship that stacked attributes beyond normal limits.]
[The main combat Spirit Masters who could utilize the attributes of the Support Battleship were himself and Bibi Dong; no matter how one looked at it, they were each fighting their own battles.]
[However, a certain level of synergy was still necessary.]
[After all, who knew if they would encounter incredibly powerful opponents in the future.]
[It wasn't necessary to be so synchronized that they could guess each other's thoughts from every move, but they at least needed to ensure they didn't interfere with one another during battle.]
[Furthermore, with the permission of Lin Fei and the others, Yu Xiaogang began to map out their Spirits and spirit rings.]
[The structure within a Spirit Bone was the foundation for the formation of a Spirit Bone Skill.]
[So, were the patterns on a spirit ring also the foundation of a Spirit Ability?]
[If he could decipher the secrets of the patterns on a spirit ring, would he be able to replicate an artificial spirit ring?]
[Of course, Yu Xiaogang's "artificial spirit ring" wasn't intended for people to absorb; at least for now, he hadn't figured out how a spirit ring could be manufactured.]
[His artificial spirit ring was actually similar to an Artificial Soul Bone, both being core ammunition for his future research into spirit tools.]
[Additionally, by observing spirit rings, he could collect more Spirit Ability structures with different functions.]
[The number of Spirit Bones was still too few, so Yu Xiaogang could only fix his gaze on the more numerous spirit rings.]
[In this way, several months passed.]
[On the now completely transformed Training Ground, Yu Xiaogang and Little Dragon fought side by side; Yu Xiaogang battled Bibi Dong, while Little Dragon fought Lin Fei.]
[Not far away, Xu Xiaoxing and the other two, plus a healing Spirit Master who had joined later, watched the figures of Bibi Dong and Lin Fei with tense expressions, cheering for them.]
[Dodging an attack from Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang raised his right hand and held up his index finger, a ball of light quickly condensing at its tip.]
["Vice-Captain, watch out!"]
[Xu Xiaoxing and the other three called out a warning from afar, and Bibi Dong also wanted to react immediately.]
[Unfortunately...]
["Impact Light!"]
[Yu Xiaogang smiled as he detonated the light condensed at his fingertip. In the next second, a shockwave of Light Attribute energy surged directly toward Bibi Dong's body.]
[Struck by the shockwave, Bibi Dong was sent flying about ten meters.]
[Seizing this opportunity, Yu Xiaogang turned and moved to Lin Fei's side. With a well-coordinated pincer attack with Little Dragon, they took him down in no time.]
[After taking down Lin Fei, Yu Xiaogang looked back at Bibi Dong. Ultimately, under Bibi Dong's frustrated gaze, he secured the victory in this sparring match.]
[After the battle ended, Lin Fei's face flushed red as he looked at Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong with shame.]
["I'm sorry, Vice-Captain. It was me who got taken down again."]
["It's fine. I've been taken down plenty of times myself anyway."]
[Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang huffily.]
["Can't you just go easy on us? Is it really that hard to get a single win against you?"]
[It wasn't surprising that Bibi Dong said this; since the formation of this Second Team, Yu Xiaogang had never lost a single internal sparring match.]
[Whether it was Lin Fei and the others coordinating or including herself, Yu Xiaogang took on all comers without exception.]
[To defeat Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong had gone from initially letting him do as he pleased to later banning Spirit Bone Skills, banning his Second Spirit Skill, banning his Domain...]
[In any case, to defeat Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong felt she had become quite shameless.]
[But unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang's foundation lay in his side-by-side combat with Little Dragon, their ability to coordinate with each other, and the fact that both could release Spirit Abilities.]
[No matter how Bibi Dong and the others restricted him, they couldn't possibly stop Yu Xiaogang from summoning Little Dragon to fight them alone.]
[Furthermore, Bibi Dong wouldn't forget that throughout their battles, Yu Xiaogang had never once used Martial Soul Possession.]
[Even so, they had yet to win a single match against him.]
[So sometimes, Bibi Dong felt truly lost. Was she really a Genius?]
[Why couldn't she see it at all when it came to Yu Xiaogang?]
[Every time she was beaten to the point of doubting her life, Bibi Dong would go to her teacher for comfort.]
[Then, amidst her teacher's angry rebukes of Yu Xiaogang for being ungrateful, it would be repeatedly emphasized that she possessed twin spirits.]
[When she decided to have her first Spirit focus on adding support-type skills, she should have had a premonition that her early-stage combat power wouldn't be very strong.]
[It was worth mentioning that after all the hard work during this period, Bibi Dong's Soul Power Rank had reached Level 40 not long ago, making her one of the only two Spirit Ancestors in the current Second Team.]
[Reaching Rank 40 at the age of thirteen—even though Bibi Dong was a Genius to begin with, this speed was still startlingly fast.]
[In any case, when Bibi Dong reached Level 40, Qian Xunji's face was beaming with joy.]
[Spirit Hall had previously made estimates regarding what Rank Bibi Dong's Soul Power would reach and when.]
[In their estimations, Bibi Dong would reach Rank 40 roughly between the ages of fourteen and fifteen.]
[But now, this time had been moved forward by about a year.]
[This proved that Bibi Dong had truly worked very hard during this time.]
[As for Yu Xiaogang, who had prompted Bibi Dong to work so hard, during the time she reached Rank 40, it was rare for him to hear her say that her teacher hadn't spoken ill of him during that period.]
[Then, after a few days, things went back to how they were before, and he even became more irritable regarding matters concerning Yu Xiaogang.]
[Because Bibi Dong had reached Rank 40, it was time to obtain her fourth spirit ring.]
[Under normal circumstances, Bibi Dong's fourth spirit ring would be a thousand-year spirit ring.]
[But because of the deal with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Bibi Dong could obtain a top-tier secret medicine provided by the sect to improve her Physique, helping her directly obtain a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring for her fourth spirit ring.]
[This was the originally agreed-upon content of the deal, but now, Qian Xunji didn't know how to approach the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Because the terms of the original agreement were to open up Spirit Hall's Legacy to a certain extent for Yu Xiaogang to study.]
[But back then, to make things difficult for Yu Xiaogang, Qian Xunji had used the threat of banning him from studying to intimidate him.]
[Qian Xunji's original intention was to make Yu Xiaogang cough up some secrets of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[But Yu Xiaogang took a hardline stance and truly stopped studying.]
[This made Qian Xunji so angry that he wanted to smash his cup every time the matter was mentioned.]
[And so it had come to this.]
[Yu Xiaogang had stopped his studies for a long time, and Qian Xunji had also received information that the boy had been busy training blacksmiths for his own family or recruiting them.]
[Other than that, there was the matter of the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team.]
[He really didn't show the slightest bit of attachment.]
[Consequently, Qian Xunji was at a loss.]
[How was he supposed to ask the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to provide the secret medicine for his Disciple when he hadn't upheld his end of the deal?]
