55 Cheating Cultivation
After coming with an agreement Xue Long asked for a location where he could create the Martial Field.
This was what made the Spirit Hall elders start to bicker around trying to come to an agreement where they want this field.
Eventually, they decided on the main garden between all of their halls.
This way everyone will be able to use it…
After deciding Bibi Dong alongside her elders showed the place. The only reason why she didn't show her overbearing character was that she didn't want to look tyrannical in front of Xue Long, her lack of behaviour had a curious effect. The elders were curious why the Supreme Pontiff allowed such bickering in the first place…
Not realising that she would rather save her face instead of Spirit Hall's… Now Xue Long saw how the Spirit Hall is like a group of children while she is their babysitter…
Everything was according to her plan to look caring and good.
When the Crown Prince saw the field he looked around and found the centre. He walked to the centre location and looked at the sky, closing his eyes.
Moments later blazing and chilling Yin and Yang symbol appeared under his feet. It slowly rose to his waist before expanding and taking all of the garden… that moment, everyone sensed how energies from the sky… like a waterfall started to descend while energies from the ground started to rise like some sort of mountains rising from the ground.
The sheer quantity of the energy has blown the people away! This was simply absurd!
How can someone call this much energy!? This amount is even more than the Prince himself has!
While Bibi Dong who saw this could not believe the sheer benefits of Heaven and Earth energy! The Prince could easily start a sect or an Empire anywhere on Douluo Continent.
Just from the fact how it is easy to deploy this! He can do this anywhere he wants!
The Prince continues to do this for several hours to make sure the place saturates with these energies. Knowing how greedy these old men are… he has no doubt they going to spend here day and night without any sort of breaks…
Once he was done majority of the elders went to cultivate. Only leaving half of them who in truth want to go with Xue Long. But the Crown Prince won't be taking them all…
"Truly fascinating. I expected it to have more conditions before the deployment not simply stand there…" The Spider Lady said while shaking her head. This was impressive and slightly terrifying what one could simply do this like that!
Thankfully they all are on the same side here.
"Hmm, requirements are there. Not for the place but for the person who is cultivating this. The Heaven and Earth Meditation is the most difficult to cultivate of them all." Xue Long said that with a thoughtful look.
"It's the understanding of the concept. The more you understand the stronger the meditation and its benefits. What you see here is the benefits that it brings when I am using the meditation." He said to the Purple-haired leader of Spirit Hall who is slowly nodding like a good student who is learning something again from her favourite teacher.
'This is the benefit because he is meditating!?'
That moment she looked at him as if she found her long-lost treasure.
Qian Renxue saw how THAT woman was looking at her Fiance. So she quickly moved to his side and hugged his hand.
"Now that you finished with your work we can return home, Long. We need to start preparing for the tournament after all." The blonde angel girl said with a small pout.
"...yes, we did waste quite a bit of time." Xue Long agreed with her reasoning.
This made her instantly relaxed they will be leaving soon!
Bibi Dong looked at the blonde girl with some annoyance. She might accept this girl is her daughter, but she didn't agree to it.
She 'accepted' It because it was required of her to pass that inner demon. While she is not furious anymore in the girl's presence there is that annoyance factor. Annoyance that this girl is getting her way…
"Hmm, very well. Not to keep you here for long you can pick which Titled Douluos will come with you. Just to remind you that you can't tell to random people that they are with Spirit Hall. People might suspect it. But it doesn't matter. Let them speculate." The Spider Lady said with a casual shrug.
Now that their original plan is out of the window it doesn't truly matter how they going to deploy their assets.
Rotating them between here and the Imperial Academy might be even better…
Xue Long nodded at the Supreme Pontiff before looking at the elders of Spirit Hall.
~~~~~~Imperial Academy~~~~~~
Several hours later after, the pair accompanied with several Titled Douluos returned to the academy.
They were greeted by several teachers and Dugu Bo who looked at those new people with raised eyebrows.
After introductions were done. Which once again baffled the teachers that there are more Titled Douluos now in the academy.
Everything was back how it was before… to a certain level…
"Spirit Hall gave you some of their Titled Douluos?" The Poison Douluo asked with a snort. This was so obvious who these people are…
"A deal. I will be using them to help my students to get their rings. This way I will have more time for myself." Xue Long explained to the Old Poison.
"Hmm… I see… so is it true? You fought against Second Worship?"
"Indeed. He beat me. I felt like I was punching an invulnerable mountain." The Crown Prince quite casually said that.
"...you don't look sad or angry… quite the temperament you have there."
He only raised his eyebrow in response to these words.
"I simply need to train more old man. Then I can try again."
*Snort*
"That is true. So what now? You going to dive into your training?"
"Both. First I am going to set a schedule for my maids. Arrange the construction for that mansion, and start training myself to reach Titled Douluo." Xue Long explained his simple plan for the future.
As he said that he motioned for Na'er to call forth his maids.
He needs to start to group them for the tournament where they going to fight in groups. From pairs to seven people group.
A few minutes later he had rows and rows of maids standing in front of him it was a small army, to say the least.
The oldest in the group was Huo Wu while the youngest was around 10.
"The criteria for the tournament is Spirit Elder. Age criteria were a broad one. But he can guarantee that the maids will be the youngest.
For now, we going to switch our training a little bit. All of you can fight well as individuals but for this tournament, teamwork will be required." As he said that the maids simply listened to him explain how this is going to work.
Truthfully Huo Wu was thinking to reach the realm beyond Spirit Elder and miss the tournament altogether. She doesn't have the will to fight her previous academy and doesn't want to lose her cool in the fights.
The moment she brings even the smallest of dissatisfaction. Her punishment will be not a small one. This is why she should skip this if possible and focus on her training and cultivation.
While the rest… they were getting extra giddy and wanting to show off to the rest of the Empire that they are the best of the best and ready to serve their Crown Prince and future Emperor.
After the short speech, everyone moved out to a spirit arena, where Xue Long spend some time sorting out his maids and pairing them to test how they work as teams.
He spends the whole day doing this.
The next morning he went to see his uncle. He got those Titled Douluos from Spirit Hall so he is going to use them as guards to help build that mansion in the forest.
"Uncle."
"Nephew. I have heard you had a groundbreaking battle against Second Worship of Spirit Hall. According to people ground shock and it looked like the world was ending.
Exaggerated or not. It doesn't matter. What matters is that we know how strong you are. The effects already can be felt throughout the Empire. The taxes are increasing even though we are not increasing the amount. It just means that tax collectors are no longer withholding that gold.
Though I doubt you care about money. What is you wish to tell me today?" Prince Xue Xing asked curiously.
"I have extra Titled Douluos which I can use as guards for that mansion construction site."
"Hoh… good then we start with that construction?"
Xue Long slowly nodded. Yes, he won't need to send his Zi Ji there. Nope! His dragoness place is next to him. Instead, he will send those old geezers to watch over them and let them enjoy mother nature for a bit.
"Indeed. Just tell me when they are ready."
His uncle nodded at him, before smiling.
"You will reach Titled Douluo before the tournament?"
"But of course. One of the reasons for this tournament." Xue Long said that before leaving his uncle's office.
It's strange how his being good at cultivation can affect his family.
His uncle who had questionable taste and things is now one of the best imperial officials in the Empire. Not only that he is the one who created the whole maid initiative for him!
Spreading the grand culture.
However now with all the things in place…
The Crown Prince can return to his training…
~~~
The first thing he did was his Arthan's meditation to kick start his training session.
Golden lotus flowers manifested around the area as golden steam started to roll out of the prince's body.
He was going through an array of Kata's and his Martial Avatars one after another would manifest before they are replaced.
Xue Long went through the whole thing for several hours before stopping and switching to Heaven and Earth as he unleashed his Cultivation Domain.
As he was thinking to cultivate he got an idea…
'I have two more martial spirits… technically… I could fasten my cultivation speed if I add spirit rings to my other two martial spirits instead of trying to cultivate regularly…' As he thought about that instead of cultivating he took a different position.
He started to create a spirit ring for his Water Dragon King!
And unlike his Golden Dragon King… which he can make those Rings thank to the core, while with this he can do because of the way he got these Martial Spirits.
These Martial Spirits are unique because he got it through Martial Arts, and Yin and Yang concept. And mostly because the situation was just right to make them into Martial Spirits.
It was right because Water Dragon King had the requisitions for it. Being female, Water… while Fire Dragon was Male and Fire. Not only that it worked because of the proximity of the location of their death.
Simply put he was able to do it because of the location and the circumstances of it.
As Yin and Yang disc manifested above him. Chilly blue energy started to gather above it and form a ring-looking energy construct.
This was a spirit ring, a water spirit ring, which fits perfectly with his Water Dragon King.
He is using the basis of his Blood Rings which are 1 million old rings.
This means that these water rings will be the same. A million old rings. Their abilities will reflect that as well.
The process was quite long but people enjoyed this kind of session as when the prince is cultivating like this inside the domain the area around it gets more saturated as well!
Though…eventually…
Xue Long smirked as he sensed that his cultivation increased by a single rank when he added the ring!
This means his hunch was right! He can reach the cap just doing this!
'This is good… I can add all those rings and save time for practising!'
