Chapter 71 Potential Stock

"I'm going to go to the Great Spirit Arenas around the region to inquire about it first." Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and whispered in return.

So that's how it was, Lin Manshan nodded slightly. If Dai Mubai was really indignant, he would naturally be in a hurry to improve his strength, and the Great Spirit Arena was indeed a good way to stimulate his potential through actual battles and achieve a rapid improvement in his strength. In addition, this kind of platform for spirit fights is not available in small towns like Nuoding City, only slightly larger main cities have them built, and there aren't many in total in the entire Balak Kingdom, which undoubtedly narrows down the scope of the search significantly. Moreover, White Tiger Martial Spirits could not be found very often, so it was indeed a matter of asking. It had to be said that Zhu Zhuqing had a good idea.

"I will take you to him, however, it will have to wait until after the New Year. According to my original plan, I will first spend the New Year at home with my adoptive parents' family, and then travel far away, heading to Heaven Dou City to meet up with my female companions."

Lin Manshan said bluntly.

"You have a female companion?" Zhu Zhuyun's heart sank as she jerked her head back, her brows frowning slightly as her gaze flickered.

"Yes." Lin Manshan nodded, "That's what I'm going to say to you next. The circumstances are similar to yours, I unintentionally saved them in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"I had made a promise to them that I would meet again, and now that more than two years have passed and things have been dealt with on my side, it's time to go and honour my promise. I'm telling you all of this because I don't want there to be any hard feelings between us, and I also hope that you will consider it thoroughly. As a matter of fact, I know where Dai Mubai might be. And after bringing you both to meet him, I'll head to Heaven Dou City."

"And at that time, that's the moment you guys must make your final decision, whether you leave or stay, it's all up to you guys." After saying that, he continued to look at Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, regarding Dai Mubai, I don't want to comment too much, everything will wait for you to consider it on your own after you see him. The only thing I can tell you right now is that the results might disappoint you, so you should better be mentally prepared."

Upon hearing this, both girls fell into silence.

Lin Manshan also stopped talking and turned towards the edge of the pool, carrying the rabbit. After skinning and boning, it was strung up on a wooden skewer and set up on the campfire. The rabbit meat itself had a very light flavour, so he, who had brought enough ingredients with him, sprinkled them while roasting. Within a short time, the rabbit meat was being oiled by the blazing fire, wafting out a fascinating aroma.

Pulling out a porcelain plate from his spirit tool and using a dagger to cut the rabbit meat into small slices, Lin Manshan carried it over to the two girls.

"Let's eat together."

Saying this, he cut out a piece for himself and started eating.

Zhu Zhuyun was very ladylike as she picked up a slice and brought it into her mouth, chewing a few mouthfuls, and asked in a small voice, "Ah Man, can you tell me about your encounter?"

"Can." Lin Manshan nodded and began the narration, omitting some of the finer details in the process.

A martial soul that couldn't retain spirit ring and spirit skills, innate spirit power level 3, self-created spirit skills, proficient in pharmacology, and also knew how to use medicinal herbs to aid in cultivation. Dugu Yan, that is the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, if Ah Man can cure Dugu Bo... There was a reason for Ah Man to stay behind, something that could assist in cultivation to a certain extent, What exactly is it? Zhu Zhuyun's heart was filled with amazement. Her spare glance looked towards Lin Manshan, and she couldn't help but lament, 'What a mysterious and tenacious man. Level 3 Innate Spirit Power, relying on an individual strength alone, his strength has reached such a level now, it's simply unheard of.'

'Such a strange person might really be a good choice. His nature is a bit straight, but why isn't that an advantage, at least he is good at communicating and doesn't use hooks and strings. And he's indeed good to his woman, knows how to care for others, and doesn't seem like a person who will abandon his family.'

'This body, this height, he is quite strong. However, with so many women by his side, can Ah Man handle it?' This thought suddenly arose in her heart, and she couldn't help but look up and down with her spare glance, her pretty face slightly flushed. Honestly, she was not bothered about her own man having other women. This is a world where the strong are honoured, to pass on the innate talent to strengthen the family and benefit future generations. It is normal for a man with great strength to take a few more wives. As long as he can be unbiased, knows how to love and protect his woman, and doesn't abandon them, then he is a good man.

'Speaking of which, just how old is Ah Man this year? How many levels of spirit power does he have? All of this information, he seemed to have skipped over just now.' Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but raise her head and gaze with a slight adoring look, her tone was soft.

"Ah Man, what is your current spirit power level? Surprisingly, you were able to fight off all the Thousand-Year Stormwind Demon Wolves."

Worthy of being a woman who is involved in the Star Luo Empire's imperial family, her political talent is indeed high, and her acting skills are superb. She has been playing tricks to get information out of me. Lin Manshan sighed quietly, but, anyway, he was going to bring them home, and a lot of information would be exposed sooner or later. So, while gnawing on the meat, he said, "...As for strength, I just finished absorbing the third spirit ring."

Did I just pick up a treasure? Zhu Zhuyun's expression froze, followed by a jaw-dropping, incredulous expression. Zhu Zhuqing at the side also raised her head, revealing the same expression.

Zhu Zhuyun opened her mouth, her beautiful eyes glancing up and down, "Ah Man, are you sure you're not joking?"

"There's no need to look at me like that. I've already said it earlier, since I awakened my mutated martial soul, I have a bigger appetite than the average spirit master, Isn't it normal for me to eat more and grow faster?"

Lin Manshan looked up at her, "Besides since both of you are going to go home with me, is there a need for me to lie to you?"

It's also true that a random neighbour would know such information... Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes twitched as she hurriedly asked afterwards, "Ah Man, how did you accomplish this?"

"Diligence makes up for weakness."

Lin Manshan said seriously, "Even though I was withdrawn from the Primary Spirit Master Academy, I have more time to spend on cultivation because of it... Generally, Spirit Masters would only cultivate at night, but I can spend the whole day on cultivation."

"." Zhu Zhuyun immediately choked.

This kind of word, no one would believe it!

If it were true that diligence could make up for weakness, not to mention other things, their Zhu Family and the Star Luo Imperial Family would already have as many Spirit Elders as hair and Spirit Ancestors running all over the place. In terms of talent, the Zhu family and the Imperial family's direct line, even the bastard, as long as they can awaken the martial soul, their innate spirit power is basically not lower than level 3.

But as a result, their achievements were all far worse than Lin Manshan's.

In this world, in front of talent, diligence really pales in comparison. This is also the reason why there are not many Titled Douluo walking on the continent today.

Without talent, it is really not possible.

But think about it, a civilian spirit master with only level 3 innate spirit power, Ah Man can break through to spirit elder level at such a young age, so the reason behind it is very precious.

I haven't even married Ah Man yet. I am not even considered a friend, so how would he tell a stranger about it?

Thinking of that, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but ponder in her mind.

'Dugu Yan, and those two from the Shui family, are both daughters of nobles, so I don't think they're fools.'

'Since all three of them are willing to pursue Ah Man, they obviously made their decision after doing some sort of examination of him. In that case, at least in terms of character, Ah Man is thought to be absolutely over the top. Even if there is a slight drawback, Ah Man is young and has little family background behind him, so he has not been in the world for a long time. With my experience of a few years more than Ah Man, can I still fail to handle him in the future?'

Ah Man is such a young, talented and high-potential stock with great possibilities for development, I can absolutely raise him!

In between these thoughts, Zhu Zhuyun felt her heart fluttering, her body involuntarily trembling, her pretty face producing a hint of warmth, her eyes brimming as she stared straight at Lin Manshan.

As if looking at a prey.
