Chapter 122: Xiao Wu's Secret
🕑 Added 2024-04-06 16:26:31 +0000 UTC"Do you know the identity of the girl named Xiao Wu who is with Tang San?" Dugu Bo's expression was very plain, showing no emotion as he asked.
In the original story, Dugu Bo did not realize Xiao Wu's identity as a Hundred Thousand Year Old Spirit Beast.
Su Wen speculated that Dugu Bo was focused on the battle just now and should have been able to discern Xiao Wu's identity.
However, he never expected Dugu Bo to bring this up to him.
"Hmm?" Dugu Bo noticed Su Wen's unusual reaction and furrowed his brow, saying, "Do you know she is a Hundred Thousand Year Old Spirit Beast?"
Su Wen nodded, acknowledging this.
"My Spiritual Power was already strong, coupled with the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew I took in the beginning, allowed me to sense something unusual about Xiao Wu's aura."
Dugu Bo nodded, not doubting Su Wen's words.
"She is a Hundred Thousand Year Old Spirit Beast. Killing her would easily yield a hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone."
"A hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring is useless to me, but Yan'er can make use of it. However, Yan'er is still far from being able to absorb a hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring, whereas you, kid, have the opportunity."
Hearing this, Su Wen felt somewhat moved.
Seeing the Hundred Thousand Year Old Spirit Beast transform, Dugu Bo could actually rationalize and then give the hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring to him.
"That Xiao Wu is indeed bold, actually entering human society directly after transformation," Dugu Bo sneered.
"Although after transformation, entering human society and living together for a long time can make the aura of a hundred thousand years old transformed Spirit Beast fade, it's not until the Spirit Saint Realm that this aura completely disappears," he continued.
Su Wen understood all of this; he had seen it in various materials about Spirit Beasts.
"Kid, absorb your fifth Spirit Ring from a fourty thousand years old to fifty thousand years old. Try absorbing an eighty thousand years old Spirit Ring for your sixth Spirit Ring, and your seventh Spirit Ring can absorb a hundred thousand years old one," Dugu Bo said.
Su Wen was somewhat surprised by Dugu Bo's bold idea.
The seventh ring would have Su Wen absorb a hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring.
Although it made sense to Dugu Bo, who knew Su Wen's situation well, in today's Douluo Land, this kind of arrangement was far beyond the common understanding of Spirit Masters.
"It's uncertain how long it will take for Yan'er to cultivate to become a Titled Douluo, but for you, kid, reaching Spirit Saint might take at most ten years. It's better to seize the opportunity as soon as possible," Dugu Bo remarked.
Dugu Bo had an inexplicable confidence in Su Wen, actually believing that Su Wen would become a Spirit Saint within ten years.
Su Wen was speechless.
However, Dugu Bo's suggestion for him to attempt absorbing a hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring for his seventh ring was actually quite conservative.
Of course, from an outsider's perspective, it was already a normal estimation, even somewhat daring.
But Su Wen had his own plans. Although the fifth ring he would absorb wouldn't exceed fifty thousand years old, he intended to complete the replacement of the temporary rings during this period, replacing the first three Spirit Rings with ten thousand years old Spirit Rings. If successful, it wouldn't be impossible for him to absorb a hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring for his sixth ring.
"However, let's make it clear that the hundred thousand years old Spirit Bone should be absorbed by Yanzi," Dugu Bo reminded.
Su Wen had no objections to this.
Moreover, he didn't actually think he could succeed in taking action against Xiao Wu at the moment, so he didn't hold too much hope.
After all, he had only recently pulled out the Blue Silver Emperor and stolen its right leg bone. Tang Hao might be keeping an eye on Tang San at any moment.
As for ten years later?
Su Wen felt that in ten years, he could even go hunting for Hundred Thousand Year Old Spirit Beasts in the deep sea.
Hundred Thousand Year Old Spirit Beasts were hard to find on the continent, but it was just that they were hard to find. As long as one had enough strength and dared to venture deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, they could always be found. And if one were even more daring, venturing into the depths of the sea to find groups of Hundred Thousand Year Old Spirit Beasts was not entirely impossible.
Compared to the Soft Bone Rabbit's hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring that didn't suit him, Su Wen still preferred to find something more suitable.
His goal wasn't just to become an ordinary Titled Douluo; it was to become a god. So, each Spirit Ring couldn't be casually chosen. The idea that a hundred thousand years old Spirit Ring didn't need to be compatible was complete nonsense to him.
"So, Grandpa Dugu, do you plan to make a move now?" Su Wen asked.
Upon being questioned by Su Wen, Dugu Bo pondered for a moment before deciding to first capture Xiao Wu.
"Since we've encountered her, we should first control her; otherwise, we don't know if we'll be able to find her again in ten years," he said.
Su Wen nodded, expressing approval of Dugu Bo's decisive approach.
"You go back for now. We'll make a move when the Shrek Team leaves. Oh, and your teacher, Qin Ming, seems to have come from Shrek. You might meet tonight, after you finish dinner, I'll make my move."
"Alright," Su Wen nodded.
Back in the rest area, the Emperor Fighting Team's match was about to begin.
Su Wen and Ning Rongrong were invited to the spectator area to watch.
"Xiaowen, who do you think will win this time between the Emperor Fighting Team and the Shrek Team?" Qin Ming asked.
"Of course, it will be our Emperor Fighting Team," Su Wen replied confidently.
"Oh? Xiaowen, since you know 'Thousand-Handed Asura' and 'Soft Boned Charming Rabbit,' you should know their ages. But the members of this Shrek Team are all quite young. Maintaining a perfect record in the battles at the Great Spirit Arena over the past half month is not something simple," Qin Ming remarked.
Su Wen shook his head, saying, "They are geniuses, maybe even surpassing Sister Yan's team, but the levels of the seven members of Shrek are too low right now."
Don't talk about potential or anything like that.
Right now, strength is weak when it's weak, and in this match, the Emperor Fighting Team has a higher chance of winning.
That's obvious.
"Xiaowen, do you know where I once trained at an Academy?" Qin Ming asked.
"Shrek," Su Wen replied.
Qin Ming looked embarrassed; he hadn't expected Su Wen to know everything.
"Shrek is just a private institution, and it's not recognized by the empire, so they can't participate in the Spirit Master Competition. But I see that the current generation of talents from Shrek is very outstanding, so I want to invite Shrek to join the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy," Qin Ming explained.
It was clear that Qin Ming still had the idea of inviting Shrek to join the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
"At that time, they can compete under the identity of Heaven Dou Emperor Team's second team," he added.
Su Wen didn't say anything.
This plan would probably be quashed soon.
Because of Su Wen's presence, the Emperor Fighting Team had already become much stronger than its original trajectory. Yu Tianheng hadn't shown significant improvement, but Dugu Yan had made a qualitative leap. Yu Feng, Osler, Shi Mo, and Shi Mô all improved, and even Ye Lingling, due to her numerous experiences with Su Wen's Engrave Enhancement, paid more attention to physical training.
With the abilities and personality traits of Tang San and Xiao Wu revealed by Su Wen, it wasn't difficult for the Emperor Fighting Team to win.
Sure enough, after a full ten minutes of battle, the Emperor Fighting Team emerged victorious.
During those ten minutes, on the Shrek side, Tang San used his agility to entangle the opponents while the other members relied on Swift Flight Mushroom Sausages to hold off the Emperor Fighting Team for a long time.
Perhaps due to the frequent matchups between the usual seven members plus Su Wen and Ning Rongrong after being divided into groups, the Emperor Fighting Team's tactics for aerial strikes were already quite refined, and they didn't fall victim to Shrek's tricky tactics as described in the original story.
After the battle, Qin Ming brought his nine students to the Shrek rest area to clarify their relationship.
Suotuo City, Grand Hotel.
In a large private room, the two teams sat at separate tables.
"Qin Ming, I never expected that after graduation, you would actually train so many exceptional students," Flender remarked, looking at the nine members of the Emperor Fighting Team, his gaze lingering particularly long on Su Wen and Ning Rongrong.
