“I learned about your battles in the Great Spirit Arena. Your Thousand Machine Umbrella Spirit should have good defensive capabilities and a certain degree of offensiveness.”
“However, since you’ve decided to replicate the Seven Kill Sword, you can abandon the offensive aspect.”
“My suggestion is to go for amplification and defensive spirit rings. Amplification Spirit Abilities are versatile and suit any Spirit, and defensive ones go without saying.”
“Additionally.”
“The replication characteristic might also be worth considering, but there aren’t many Spirit Beasts that fit this characteristic. As far as I know, only one Spirit Beast can be considered a good fit.”
Qian Renxue’s advice was quite pertinent, and the Spirit Beast she mentioned that fit the replication characteristic—
If Li Tian hadn’t guessed wrong, it should be the Mirror Image Spirit Beast.
Judging from the Spirit Ability characteristics Oscar obtained, the Mirror Image Spirit Beast and the Thousand Machine Umbrella are definitely a good match, at least much more so than Oscar’s Sausage Spirit.
The inability to replicate Spirits other than Tool Spirits is the Thousand Machine Umbrella’s only current flaw.
The Mirror Image Spirit Beast might be able to compensate for this flaw.
And if the spirit ring compatibility is high enough, even if the obtained Spirit Ability is not perfect, it won't affect his talent; at most, it will just add a useless Spirit Ability.
And what Li Tian lacks least are Spirit Abilities.
Li Tian asked in pleasant surprise, “May I ask what Spirit Beast Your Highness is referring to?”
“Mirror Image Spirit Beast!”
Qian Renxue said, “As far as I know, in the Extreme North Ice Sealed Forest, there’s a Spirit Beast called the Mirror Image Spirit Beast. Its Spirit Ability is to replicate the Spirit Abilities of other Spirit Beasts.”
“It’s just that this Spirit Beast is extremely rare, and its body is like a mirror, capable of almost perfectly reflecting its surroundings, making it very difficult to detect even if it’s right beside you.”
“Because of this characteristic, many Spirit Masters who tried to obtain its spirit ring ended in failure. The last Spirit Master to obtain a Mirror Image Spirit Beast’s spirit ring was over a hundred years ago.”
Li Tian’s eyes lit up: “What was his Spirit, how old was the spirit ring, and how did the Spirit Ability perform?”
Qian Renxue said, “His Spirit was a Golden-Maned Lion. The specific age of the spirit ring is unknown, recorded as black. The Spirit Ability is only known to be able to replicate others’ Spirits and Spirit Abilities.”
“However, from its performance, the replicated Spirit had a time limit, and the Spirit Ability’s power was greatly weakened, estimated to only be able to replicate 50% of the original power.”
50%?
Li Tian remembered Oscar’s was 70% and 80%; 70% if his spirit power was higher than his own, and 80% if it was lower.
Judging by this.
If the compatibility isn’t enough, the Spirit Ability’s effect will also vary.
Oscar’s Sausage Spirit can produce all kinds of Sausages.
Comparatively, its compatibility with the Mirror Image Spirit Beast must be higher than that of the Lion Spirit.
However, it could also be due to the spirit ring’s age.
After all, it’s only known that the Spirit Master’s spirit ring was black, with the specific age unknown.
“I’ve already sent people to look for it. As long as it can be found, it will be captured and kept in captivity until you need to hunt it. However, whether it can be found depends on luck.”
Qian Renxue’s tone was calm, as if she was only talking about a trivial matter.
There was no hint of seeking credit.
Li Tian was momentarily stunned. She had already sent people to look for it? Was she that warm-hearted?
“Thank you for Your Highness’s kindness!”
Perhaps her purpose in doing this was to win him over, but that wasn’t important.
What was important was that what she did was indeed for his benefit.
Qian Renxue waved her hand and said, “Don’t worry about it. You were invited by me to join Heaven Dou, so I naturally have to be responsible for you. These are just things within my ability.”
“You don’t need to be too polite with me either. If you need any help, just ask. As long as it doesn’t harm the Empire’s interests, I will help you unconditionally.”
Is she starting to pull personal strings?
With so many palace maids around, wasn’t she afraid that some of them were Xue Ye’s ears and eyes?
Never mind, it’s not important.
Li Tian said, “Then I’ll thank Your Highness in advance. If I need anything, I won’t be polite with Your Highness. By then, Your Highness shouldn’t shut me out.”
“Hahaha…”
Qian Renxue laughed and teased, “Just don’t ask me to go trouble a Titled Douluo with you.”
Li Tian’s eyes widened: “Your Highness thinks too highly of me.”
“Take this token. With it, you can enter the palace to find me without reporting.”
Qian Renxue handed over a token.
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
Li Tian took the token, feeling a strange sense of oddity. In the original story, wasn’t the reason she failed seemingly because she gave the token to the wrong person?
But perhaps it couldn’t be said that way.
After all, with Dugu Bo there, as long as they were ruthless enough, it wouldn’t be too difficult for Tang San and the others to force their way into the imperial palace.
The fundamental reason was that they couldn’t defeat the cheat combination.
As Li Tian put the token into his spirit tool, Qian Renxue’s heart stirred.
She had thought the ring on Li Tian’s hand was just an ornament, but she never expected it to be a storage spirit tool. Where did a commoner like him get such a precious item?
“Crown Prince Your Highness!”
Before Qian Renxue could think clearly, a guard suddenly walked in.
Qian Renxue asked, “What is it?”
The guard said, “School Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Sword Douluo crown Xia have arrived. His Majesty wants you to bring Young Master Li to meet them.”
“They arrived quite quickly.”
Qian Renxue sneered inwardly, but her expression remained unchanged.
She looked at Li Tian and asked, “Brother Li Tian, have you eaten well?”
Li Tian said, “Thank you for Crown Prince Your Highness’s generous hospitality, I have eaten well.”
Qian Renxue nodded: “Then let’s go.”
Li Tian stood up, feeling a little excited, after all, he would soon be able to replicate the Seven Kill Sword and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which were both Spirits crowned with the title of number one.
Inside the magnificent palace.
Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi sat opposite each other, while Chen Xin accompanied them with Ning Rongrong.
Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye complimented each other, chatting very happily.
Chen Xin, however, looked helpless because his beloved Ning Rongrong was throwing a tantrum.
She looked very unhappy.
Ning Rongrong had thought her father and Grandpa Sword were bringing her to Heaven Dou City to play, but it turned out to be this boring imperial palace to listen to her father and Emperor Xue Ye engage in commercial flattery.
She'd be crazy to be happy.
Every time they met, it was one complimenting the other, utterly boring.
Moreover, this imperial palace gave her a very oppressive feeling.
Everyone’s face was filled with hypocrisy; even strolling on the streets would be more comfortable than being here.
If she had known, she would have preferred to stay at home.
“I’m very curious, how did Qinghe snatch him from Spirit Hall’s hands?”
Ning Fengzhi finally couldn’t help but ask.
Chen Xin also pricked up his ears, and even Ning Rongrong looked over with a curious expression.
She knew they were here because of a Genius named Li Tian.
She was also very curious why that Genius, whose talent was even higher than hers, would choose the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Heaven Dou Empire’s strength wasn’t exactly top-ranked.
Xue Ye smiled faintly: “There’s no snatching or not snatching. It was that child’s own choice. Perhaps it’s fate, perhaps it’s Heavenly Dao, who knows?”
