Chapter 172: How Grandmaster's Audacity Was Cultivated
🕑 Added 2024-05-26 16:40:53 +0000 UTCWhether spirit tools bring significant enhancement to other Spirit Masters or other sects is unclear, but for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it's definitely a qualitative leap.
Therefore, someone is controlling the outflow of spirit tools.
It must be said that Su Wen's idea is somewhat conspiratorial.
However, the basis of his speculation lies in his deeper understanding.
While spirit tool technology may have been lost on the Douluo Continent, it hasn't been severed on the Sun-Moon Continent.
Could Spirit Hall really be completely unaware of the existence of the Sun-Moon Continent?
Su Wen sincerely doubted it.
Spirit Hall has the capability to mount a large-scale invasion of Sea God Island, so they absolutely have the ability to cross the ocean and reach the Sun-Moon Continent.
"Hall Master, I also know that spirit tool technology has been lost on the continent, but I believe Spirit Hall should have relevant research materials. I hope to receive support in this regard and ask Hall Master to report my request to the Pope," Su Wen said.
Salas reluctantly agreed.
Since it had to be reported anyway, Su Wen's request was considered reasonable.
"I don't need to conceal the purpose of my visit to Hall Master this time, so my identity shouldn't be suspected. Hall Master, you can rest assured," Su Wen said before leaving Salas's residence.
Soon after, Crown Prince coincidentally came to visit him.
"Xiaowen, where did you go? I've been waiting for you here for a long time," 'Xue Qinghe' asked, puzzled.
Su Wen said, "Regarding the matter of the Wisdom Palace, I've had a preliminary discussion with Bishop Salas and have gained his initial approval. I plan to wait until we reach Spirit City for the final round of the tournament. By then, when I reveal my last trump card, obtaining support from Spirit Hall won't be a problem anymore."
'Xue Qinghe' didn't show much excitement or joy on his face; instead, he forced a smile.
On the surface, he was Crown Prince, so he shouldn't be pleased with Su Wen's closeness to the Wisdom Palace and Spirit Hall.
"Xiaowen, on behalf of myself, I congratulate you on the imminent fame of your Wisdom Palace," he said, clasping his hands together and extending them toward Su Wen.
Then, he appeared curious.
"By the way, Xiaowen, what exactly is your last trump card?"
The true level of Su Wen's Soul Power was only known to those who accompanied him on his expeditions to obtain Spirit Rings. Apart from Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, no one else was aware of it.
Xue Qinghe naturally included himself in this.
While Ning Fengzhi was his teacher, he wouldn't tell him everything either.
"You'll find out when the time comes, Brother Xue," Su Wen replied evasively.
"Alright, I'm looking forward to your so-called trump card."
Without chatting for too long, Xue Qinghe left Su Wen's tent after completing his task and returned to Emperor Xue Ye's main tent.
"Father, Xiaowen's actions this time were for the sake of the Wisdom Palace," 'Xue Qinghe' briefly described Su Wen's establishment of the Wisdom Palace.
Emperor Xue Ye's eyes flashed with brilliance. While he admired Su Wen's ambition, he also pondered the advantages and disadvantages of Su Wen's actions for the royal family.
"Father, as the first supporters and those who adapt to change, if Su Wen's establishment of the Wisdom Palace succeeds, although it will break the barriers of knowledge and change the Continent's landscape, as long as we adapt to this change and seize the key points of the change as soon as possible, the position of the royal family will remain unshakable, even more so," 'Xue Qinghe' said.
Emperor Xue Ye listened to 'Xue Qinghe's analysis and nodded slowly, indicating his approval.
No matter how the landscape of the continent changes, there will always be beneficiaries.
Those who can adapt to the trend are often the greatest beneficiaries.
After seeing off Crown Prince and assisting him in completing Emperor Xue Ye's task, Su Wen repeatedly went over the preparations for the Wisdom Palace in his mind.
"Soliciting support from Spirit Hall is necessary. With the assistance of Spirit Hall, the construction of the Wisdom Palace on the continent will be much easier," Su Wen pondered the value he held for Spirit Hall.
First and foremost was the support from Qian Renxue's side, which provided him with the greatest confidence in seeking support from Spirit Hall.
However, at the same time, Qian Renxue could be both his support and his obstacle. Because Bibi Dong had long gone mad, it was unknown whether she would obstruct him because of Qian Renxue.
It's best not to predict the decisions of someone whose mind is unclear.
Besides Qian Renxue's influence, the fundamental reason Su Wen can obtain the greatest support from Spirit Hall is his talent.
"At the age of sixteen, becoming a Spirit King is enough to demonstrate my talent. While my Soul Power level of fifty-nine doesn't need to be fully exposed, the unconventional Spirit Rings in yellow, purple, and black must be showcased."
"On the side of Spirit Hall, it's best not to passively wait for their decision."
As Su Wen contemplated, someone unexpected arrived outside his tent.
"Su Wen, may I come in?" A deep voice of a middle-aged man came from outside.
Grandmaster.
Su Wen was surprised that the other party had come to talk to him.
It's worth noting that even after the match between the Shrek Team and the Emperor Fighting Team in Suotuo City, when Qin Ming hosted a banquet for both teams and their teachers, Grandmaster and Su Wen never exchanged words.
"Come in," Su Wen said.
Grandmaster entered the tent and observed Su Wen sitting cross-legged, speculating that he had just been practicing cultivation.
"I wonder what brings Grandmaster here?" Su Wen asked casually, not even bothering to stand up.
Grandmaster's expression remained unchanged. He also had a request this time, so he didn't harbor any dissatisfaction with Su Wen's attitude.
After all, back then, he had also rejected a child who aspired to be a scholar in a similar manner.
"Su Wen, to be honest, I never imagined you could achieve what you have today," he sighed and continued, "Now I have to admit, I misjudged you in the past."
"If Grandmaster only came to say this, you can leave. I still need to cultivate," Su Wen replied.
Grandmaster showed no signs of embarrassment and continued, "I would like to ask you about your insights into Soul Power cultivation. I know this may seem a bit abrupt, but as a scholar, I've been puzzled by your situation and have come to seek advice."
Su Wen's expression turned strange as he looked at Grandmaster, as if he were observing some rare creature.
He sure has thick skin.
"Grandmaster, do you not remember that we faced life and death outside Suotuo City over a year ago?" Su Wen asked.
With his right hand behind his back, Grandmaster admitted, "During that time, I didn't believe that you and Dugu Bo did anything wrong. As you both said, it's only natural for Spirit Masters to hunt Spirit Beasts. It's just that Xiao Wu was our student, a companion of Xiaosan and the others, so we stood on opposite sides. But in the end, nothing happened to Xiao Wu."
Su Wen once again marveled at Grandmaster's tolerance.
"Yu Xiaogang, you may not have understood the situation. The conflict between us doesn't stem from your initial rejection of me, nor does it lie in the confrontation outside Suotuo City all those years ago."
"Oh? Then what is it about?" Grandmaster asked, his expression stiff.
Su Wen looked at the rigid-faced Grandmaster and said slowly, "The conflict between us stems from Tang San."
