At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi stared at the intelligence report in his hand for a long time without speaking.
The reason he had delayed sending Rongrong to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for schooling was that he had also dispatched people to investigate Li Tian.
After all, his decision was crucial, concerning Rongrong's happiness and even the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
If Li Tian's character was not good, then no matter how talented he was, it would be in vain.
He just never expected that not investigating was fine, but once he investigated, it truly startled him.
When did Innate Full spirit power become so worthless?
In the small Nuoding City, three Innate Full spirit powers actually appeared at the same time.
It was simply outrageous.
What surprised and even shocked him more was that one of them seemed to be the son of Clear Sky Douluo.
Tang Hao, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Grandmaster…
Two Innate Full spirit powers, one Clear Sky Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect, and one theoretical Grandmaster, who was also the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen.
At that moment, Ning Fengzhi hesitated.
Although Li Tian's talent was good, the energy gathered around Tang San was not something one person could compare to.
No matter how strong a Titled Douluo's power was, could he defeat a group?
As the helmsman of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he had more things to consider, so he developed a character that judged everything based on its value.
And Tang San's value seemed to be higher than Li Tian's.
After careful consideration, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly thought of something.
Why couldn't he have both the fish and the bear's paw?
No matter what, Li Tian and Tang San came from the same village.
They wouldn't end up as enemies, would they?
Rongrong could totally go find Tang San and establish a bond with him.
As for Li Tian…
He could have Sword Uncle teach him Sword Dao experience, and even the Heart Separation Control method could be taught.
Wouldn't that establish connections with both sides?
As for Rongrong's happiness, let's wait and see, after all, both of them are good and have their own merits.
It's just this Yu Xiaogang…
The intelligence Qian Renxue could uncover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could naturally also uncover.
Yu Xiaogang's ungrateful behavior was all in the intelligence report.
As the saying goes, 'like master, like apprentice,' would Tang San also become an ungrateful person under his guidance?
With Tang Hao watching, it shouldn't come to that.
Tang Hao did not choose to personally teach Tang San, but instead chose to let him apprentice under Yu Xiaogang, most likely because of Yu Xiaogang's identity.
Perhaps there was also a reason for not being able to show his face.
Whatever the reason, as a father, he couldn't truly let Tang San go unmanaged.
Most likely, he was hiding in the dark, protecting and teaching Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang was just a tool to connect with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
No big problem.
However, before that, Rongrong and Li Tian needed to Cultivate some basic feelings.
Otherwise, it might be difficult to turn back later.
…
At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, two figures were fighting back and forth on the Douluo Arena stage.
The two were Li Tian and Yu Tianheng.
Since entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Li Tian's days had been very fulfilling.
Most of his time was spent Cultivating in the Shield State area.
Emm…
Just as Yu Tianheng said, it had some effect, but it wasn't as exaggerated as he expected; it was estimated that Cultivating there for three or four years would only yield one more spirit power Rank than normal Cultivation.
Besides Cultivating, he occasionally sparred with teammates or fought against other teams.
This was to familiarize himself with his teammates and Cultivate tacit agreement.
The rest of the time, Li Tian dedicated entirely to researching the Thousand Machine Umbrella.
He also read books.
However, he no longer read the books brought from Nuoding City; instead, he found many Spirit-related books in the academy's library to read.
On the stage.
Neither side had yet released their Spirit; they were just competing in strength, agility, and so on.
Yu Tianheng was very frustrated.
His spirit power Rank exceeded the opponent's by a full eleven Ranks, he also had one more spirit ring, and he even possessed a top-tier Beast Spirit like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Yet, he couldn't suppress the opponent in terms of strength.
Isn't this kid a Tool Spirit? How could his strength be so terrifying?
Although this was not their first encounter, Yu Tianheng couldn't help but feel such doubts, because it simply made no sense.
"Spirit Assimilation!"
After another collision, Yu Tianheng finally couldn't help but release his Spirit first.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was different from other Beast Spirits.
Before Rank 30, no Dragon transformation signs would appear after Spirit Assimilation; only after Rank 30 would the first Dragon transformation part appear.
Subsequently, one more Dragon transformation part would appear for every ten Ranks gained.
As Li Tian retreated to create distance, a long spear appeared in his hand.
The spear was very strange.
The entirely blue-purple shaft of the spear flickered with electric arcs, but the spearhead was separated into three parts; the sharp ridge connected to the spear body, but the sharp blades had no connection to the spear body or the sharp ridge.
They floated in the air, yet seemed to be fixed to the left and right of the sharp ridge by an unknown energy's pull.
It was as if there were invisible connections.
Moreover, the lightning power on the spearhead was even more intense, completely enveloping the spearhead.
Flickering in and out of view.
The replicated Spirit, when fused with the Thousand Machine Umbrella, also had an invisible advantage.
That was, the release form could change at will.
If Li Tian needed the Thunderous Spear form, the Spirit released would be the Thunderous Spear.
If he needed the Thousand Machine Umbrella, it would be the Thousand Machine Umbrella.
However, unfused Spirits like the Seven Kill Sword required the Thousand Machine Umbrella to be released first before transforming into them.
Opportunities were fleeting.
Although the form change was instantaneous, it was still possible to miss a good opportunity.
"First Spirit Ability: Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tianheng didn't hesitate; his first spirit ring immediately flickered as spirit power was injected into it.
Before the Dragon transformation part appeared.
He clearly couldn't contend with Li Tian's Tool Spirit with just his bare fists.
As spirit power surged.
Yu Tianheng's hands were covered in scales, and sharp claw blades grew on his fingers; the Dragon claws also flickered with lightning.
"Bang!"
Yu Tianheng pushed off the ground, his body suddenly rushing forward with a burst of sound.
His first Spirit Ability was not just a simple hand-to-Dragon-claw transformation; it also amplified his overall attributes, including strength, speed, and lightning power.
Facing the attacking Yu Tianheng, Li Tian was fearless.
As the saying goes, 'the spear shoots forth like a Dragon,' a cold gleam arrives first, and the lightning at the spearhead was that cold gleam.
"Bang!"
Yu Tianheng met the spear with his claw; the clash of lightning power instantly produced a deafening roar.
And electric sparks flew everywhere.
Those who didn't know would have thought it was two Spirit Emperor or higher-Ranked powerhouses fighting.
As the saying goes, 'a foot long, an inch strong.'
The long spear was extremely flexible in Li Tian's hand, its attacks dense as rain, firmly blocking Yu Tianheng two meters away; no matter how hard he tried, he could hardly advance an inch.
"Second Spirit Ability: Wrath of Thunder!"
Yu Tianheng let out a low roar; as lightning flashed, his attributes were once again amplified.
"Bang!"
He deflected Li Tian's long spear with a claw, and his body suddenly rushed into the range where the long spear was difficult to use, striking fiercely at Li Tian's face with a claw.
Li Tian rapidly retreated, the Thunderous Spear disassembled, and in the blink of an eye, it had reassembled into the Thousand Machine Umbrella.
It just happened to block Yu Tianheng's Dragon Claw.
"Bang!"
Li Tian's right foot extended from under the umbrella, unethically kicking towards Yu Tianheng's legs.
No choice, that's how his masters taught him.
His three masters had said: In battlefield combat, no matter the method or whether it's dignified, the key is to defeat and kill the enemy.
