253 Chapter 252 Breakthroughs and Speculations
Time passed day by day, and at the end of April, Lin Manshan successfully broke through to level 70.
Only Niu Gao was still short of the goal, although the spirit power had been accumulated enough, the realm was stuck. Seeing this, Lin Manshan discussed with Dugu Bo and decided to give Niu Gao the piece of right arm bone that Dugu Bo originally had for absorption.
That piece of spirit bone had been nourished by Dugu Bo's spirit power and bloodline, and it was close to 25,000 years old, and its quality had also improved.
Considering that unless one was left-handed, the right arm was the limb that humans used the most in battle, and that the right arm bone could drastically increase arm strength and power, he had always felt that the quality of this piece of spirit bone was still a bit poor. Moreover, the strength of the girls has long passed the stage of needing the 10,000-year-old fourth spirit ring, and the secondary absorption will not enhance the strength much, so it was temporarily stored for the time being.
Now there is an urgent need, it can only be taken out to try their luck.
In the future, if there is a better one, at worst, a knife will be used. These are the original words of Dugu Bo.
After Niu Gao absorbed it, the effect was immediate, breaking through to level 90 that night.
So, on that night, the strongest line-up of the academy, consisting of Dugu Bo, Lin Manshan, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Shui Chaozong, and Shui Zilu, departed silently.
As for Bai Xue, who was the vice dean of the academy, she stayed at the academy to preside over the academy's affairs.
As a matter of fact, ever since Dugu Bo finished absorbing the spirit bone, the affairs of the academy had always been presided over by Bai Xue.
There was no way around it, Dugu Bo's appearance had changed too much.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he could only announce to the public that he would be in seclusion, and he didn't even participate in the academy's opening ceremony in March.
After the academy officially announced this matter, it also caused quite a stir. According to the scouting reports from the Speed Clan, almost all the forces in Heaven Dou City were speculating that Dugu Bo was about to break through level 95 and that Skywalker Academy would soon have a Super Douluo at its helm.
At the same time, the forces were clear in their hearts that it was not convenient to disturb given the importance of the matter, so they all wisely cut off the idea of paying a visit.
***
"Level 95 Super Douluo huh" Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Ning Fengzhi's mind could be described as complicated for many days.
Level 95 could be called the watershed mark of the Titled Douluo realm. If Dugu Bo could break through, his strength would definitely be qualitatively improved, and Skywalker Academy would be formally promoted to a super power comparable to the upper three clans. With Dugu Bo's martial soul ability, wanting to solve him was almost already impossible. But wanting to further befriend, Dugu Bo had long since openly declared to the public that he was an enemy of the Clear Sky Clan.
Being in the same upper three clans, he was now in an awkward position.
Unless he announced that he would sever his relationship with the Clear Sky Clan, he would never be able to gain Dugu Bo's trust.
Moreover, since Dugu Bo had declared himself an enemy of the Clear Sky Clan, he hadn't communicated with Dugu Bo or Lin Manshan for a long time, and he even felt that the friendship he had built up before had faded.
In addition, Tang San had also disappeared for more than three years.
Three years was enough time to dilute a lot of things.
"Ai," Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but show a hint of sadness.
***
On the other hand, Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Your Holiness the Pope, there is a personal letter from Lin Manshan." Ghost Douluo bowed and presented the letter.
"Hm." Bibi Dong nodded, raised her hand and took it with suction, and the letter flew into her hand.
Tearing open the letter and glancing down, she instantly fell into a deep thought, 'Let me not rush to attach a spirit ring to my second martial soul, Lin Manshan is aware that I've been to the Extreme North, and it's normal to guess that I haven't finished attaching spirit rings to my second martial soul yet. And given my current strength, the spirit ring I want to attach to my second martial soul must be a 100,000-year-old spirit ring, Lin Manshan must have guessed this as well.'
'Well, Lin Manshan claimed that what he was researching would help with this, could it be related to the Hundred Thousand Years Spirit Ring?'
Thinking of this, her fingertips couldn't help but tap the edge of the throne, 'Then, the greatest possibility. One is researching how to deal with the several super spirit beasts in the far north, or hunting the rest of the 100,000-year-old spirit beasts without being discovered by the several super spirit beasts. Or, there is a way to find the other 100,000-year-old spirit beasts on the continent. All of these possibilities, however, target a hundred thousand-year-old spirit beasts.'
'Well, Lin Manshan specializes in pill refining, and this possibility doesn't seem to fit.'
'Then, the second one, researching to create a hundred thousand-year-old spirit beast. For example, refining pills containing huge amounts of medicinal power through the art of pill refining, feeding them to spirit beasts whose years have not reached 100,000 years, and forcibly uplifting their cultivation to the 100,000-year level.' Thinking of this possibility, her eyes couldn't help but light up, '100,000-year-old spirit beasts are indeed rare on the continent, but those with a life span of 80,000 to 90,000 years are not difficult to find.'
'With Lin Manshan's alchemy, as long as there are enough herbs, refining pills with this kind of massive medicinal power is indeed not impossible. Moreover, whether it's for his own sake or his wife's sake, Lin Manshan does need to consider these in advance.'
'Asking for spirit beast related knowledge, is it for further understanding spirit beasts and facilitating research?'
As if she thought of something, the corner of his lips couldn't help but curl, 'I guess the reason Lin Manshan is willing to cooperate with me is because of that girl from the Shui family. Shui Bing'er's martial soul has an ice attribute, and if she wishes to obtain a suitable spirit ring, the extreme north is indeed the best place.'
'Is this an attempt to seek the help of the Martial Spirit Hall?'
'This Lin Manshan, even though he is a bit of a womanizer, he actually seems to be a rare affectionate kind of man' She silently sighed, her mind couldn't help but flash through the bad memories, and her gaze couldn't help but turn cold, but she quickly returned to her calmness.
Her head was slightly raised, and she eyed Ghost Douluo.
"Elder Ghost, send someone to the Martial Spirit Hall library to transcribe all the knowledge related to spirit beasts and bring it to Lin Manshan. I will personally discuss this matter with the Grand Worship, just do as you are told. Also, order down and increase your efforts to collect medicinal herbs."
"Go down, go and inform the rest of the elders that a meeting of elders will be held in the afternoon."
It seems like Lin Manshan has come up with something extraordinary again, the Elders' Meeting has been convened. Ghost Douluo was shocked inwardly.
"Yes!" Respectfully arching his hand in the end, he turned around and quickly left.
And just then, Bibi Dong disappeared from within the main hall.
"This is a letter sent by Lin Manshan, I suspect that he is researching some kind of medicine that can make high-level spirit beasts whose cultivation close to 100,000 years old level directly break through the major threshold." Arriving at Worship Hall, Bibi Dong directly threw out the letter and then stated her suspicions.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu's face also instantly turned serious, receiving the letter and reading it, he raised his head, "Indeed there is such a possibility, that girl from the Shui family who wants to obtain a suitable spirit ring later is bound to go to the Extreme North, and Lin Manshan who is at this point in time strong enough to expose these, should also be trying to seek our help."
"However, no matter what, this matter is beneficial and harmless to our Martial Spirit Hall, I will fully cooperate, and later on I will send out all the worship elders to go to the continent to search for spirit beasts with a life span of 80,000 years or more. In addition, there's one more thing, if Lin Manshan is really researching in this direction, I have reason to suspect that he's also researching on how to allow himself to absorb a 100,000-year-old spirit ring at the seventh spirit ring stage."
"I hope that he can share the results of his research in this area, this is considered a sincerity of cooperation, and you can also interpret it as a test. After all, if he can really do it, then the entire Skywalker Academy's battle power will have to be reassessed."
"We must ensure that he is on the side of the Martial Spirit Hall."
"Redundant trial and error." Bibi Dong laughed coldly, "That granddaughter of yours has now become a Spirit Saint, so what if she tries it out?"
"Moreover, not to mention that this level of elixir is undoubtedly something that only Lin Manshan can refine, and it would be useless even if we obtained it. As for his views on the Martial Spirit Hall, he already made it very clear last time, and Dugu Bo has also declared himself an enemy of the Clear Sky Clan publicly. Even if they want to be unfavourable to the Martial Spirit Hall, it will be after the Martial Spirit Hall has unified the continent. Moreover, they must be capable of fighting against the gods to do so."
"Heh, could it be that you have so little confidence in your own granddaughter?"
"But this throne has absolute confidence." Bibi Dong's tone was decisive.
"Moreover, by doing so, you will not be able to bring any benefits to the Martial Spirit Hall other than causing gaps in the hearts of your own allies."
At those words, Qian Daoliu fell silent.
If Lin Manshan could really refine that kind of elixir, then the first beneficiary would definitely be Bibi Dong, who had yet to fill out her second martial soul spirit rings. And once it is made up, with Bibi Dong's strength, the chances of completing the final step in a short period of time would definitely increase greatly.
And his granddaughter would be the second beneficiary.
To put it another way, at Lin Manshan's age, it would still be a long time before he would be able to take that step. Not to mention, relying on oneself to become a god is basically impossible, that was something that even Tang Chen had failed to do. As for searching for a Divine Inheritance, that wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time either.
During this time, he believes that his granddaughter would have already taken that step.
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and magnanimously said, ''It's me who thought narrowly. In that case, you can take the lead in this matter, and I will fully cooperate. In addition..." The topic could not help but change, "Have you found the whereabouts of Tang Hao father and son?"
"Not yet, I suspect that they have already got into the Clear Sky Clan." Bibi Dong also didn't dwell on the previous topic and spoke straight.
Qian Daoliu nodded, "Keep an eye on them for now."
"For the time being, let's pull out manpower to look for suitable spirit beasts and help you get your spirit rings in place before anything else. Although those super spirit beasts in the Extreme North have strong cultivation, they really aren't the most suitable for you in terms of attributes, and they're also not easy to deal with, so Lin Manshan has sort of solved the pressing problem this time."
Bibi Dong glanced at him and said indifferently, "We are still only guessing at this point in time, and what we are doing is merely preparing in advance. Whether it's true or not, we still have to wait for news from Lin Manshan's side. And even if it's true, wanting to research it would never happen overnight."
"As for the matter of the Clear Sky Clan, we can just maintain the status quo for the time being."
When I take that step, all of them will be nothing more than ants. Bibi Dong quietly thought.
Qian Daoliu nodded his head and said no more.
Bibi Dong said the matter of convening the Elders' Meeting in the afternoon and then left straight away.
