At this time, Ning Rongrong had already come to the table with a tea tray, bowed and set it down, then picked up the teapot, filled one of the tea cups, and gently handed it over to Ning Fengzhi, saying soothingly, "Dad, daughter is already able to help you deal with some of the affairs of the clan right now, so there is no need for you old man to be overly worried about that, your body is important."
"Besides, there are still a few older brothers at home to help out."
I'd be thankful if your brothers were half as good as Lin Manshan. Ning Fengzhi felt even more bitter inwardly. After a few years of observation, in addition to his daughter Ning Rongrong, the performance of his other sons really can't satisfy him.
Whether it is means or strategy, they can not meet the expectations.
In the beginning, Lin Manshan played Tang Hao father and son like a fool, even pulling the whole Clear Sky Clan down and destroying it.
Comparison makes people angry, when comparing goods to goods, you will want to discard the bad ones.
When this kind of comparison occurs in one's own home, it is undoubtedly a headache.
After taking a slight sip of tea, a faint bitter flavour suddenly surged into his heart.
Hey. Ning Fengzhi became even more bitter inwardly.
On the other side, in the back of Shrek Academy, inside the bedroom of the wooden house.
"Hey," Looking at Yu Xiaogang who was lying on the bed in front of him, whose face was pale, eyes closed tightly, eyes sunken in, and who could almost be described as being as if he was out of breath. Flender, who had already broken through the Spirit Douluo level and was getting more and more ruddy, couldn't help but show his sadness in his eyes.
After whispering some words, and greeting the old maid who was helping to take care of him, he walked out of the wooden house with small steps.
"How?" Sitting on the stone bench outside the house, Liu Erlong, who had also broken through the Spirit Douluo and become younger and more youthful, asked blandly.
Flender didn't speak, only shook his head slightly.
He knew in his heart that the reason why Yu Xiaogang could still support himself until now was all because of the only trace of obsession in his heart.
The obsession of waiting for Tang San to return.
Seeing that Liu Erlong didn't say anything either, Flender slowly walked up and continued, "Erlong, let's go."
"The Spirit Master Tournament is about to begin, our academy still needs to make sufficient preparations."
"Uh-huh." Only then did Liu Erlong nod, following Flender as he turned to leave.
Time passed little by little, the end of March soon arrived, and the new continent-wide Spirit Master Tournament was announced to begin.
Early in the morning, in the square of Skywalker Academy, after a speech from Acting Dean Bai Xue, the participating team set off in great vigour.
In the distance, Dugu Bo and Lin Manshan quietly watched all of this.
It wasn't until the team disappeared from view that Dugu Bo turned his head and nodded, "Ah Man, let's go."
After more than a month, he finally killed the last spirit beast in the Life and Death Arena and successfully absorbed its energy crystal. It was a ferocious beast with a cultivation of close to 200,000 years, the Hydra Emperor, possessing an extremely terrifying regeneration ability capable of quickly regenerating even if its head was cut off, and he had only been able to curb its regeneration ability by utilizing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Water and the Yama's Invitation.
But even so, the whole battle process is still dangerous, but in the end, he won.
Moreover, the benefits gained from winning were also exhilarating.
After absorbing the energy crystal dropped by the Nine-Headed Hydra Emperor, his Spirit Bone and Spirit Ring lifespan had both increased by more than ten thousand years.
At this point, the colours of his spirit rings had changed to 6 black and 3 red. His whole body spirit bone, except for his head spirit bone and left arm bone which were still only around 90,000 years old, the rest of his spirit bone age had exceeded 100,000 years, so his battle power could be said to have once again gained a qualitative leap.
After absorbing the energy crystal of the Nine-Headed Hydra Emperor, he was also informed of the content of the ninth test.
It was to pass the Seven Emotions Assessment.
For this assessment, Lin Manshan had already explained some of the main points to him, and he was now very confident in himself.
"Hm." Lin Manshan nodded, "Next, I also need to focus on my cultivation, and strive to break through level 90 as soon as possible."
It had to be said that his cultivation speed during this period of time was indeed fast.
It took three months for him to raise his spirit power by 1 level, and he was now completely confident that he would be able to maintain this rate of promotion over the course of time.
The gains brought about by the promotion of the Divine Soul were simply too great, even when the original Tang Chen completed the Shura God's Eight Examinations after regaining his sanity and reached the Demigod body, it was only with the help of the Shura God that he finally elevated his soul to the Divine Soul realm, which reflected the power of the Divine Soul realm.
With a divine soul pull that far exceeded his current cultivation realm, his current absorption of heaven and earth energy was as easy as drinking water.
The feeling of a transcendent divine big brother taking him to fly was just refreshing.
If it wasn't for the fact that his physical body required the process of absorbing, transforming and adapting, he felt that he would be able to break through level 90 in just a few months of absorption.
Between his thoughts, he followed Dugu Bo and turned to leave.
Four months later, inside the cultivation room, Lin Manshan suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look in one direction.
"Success?" Smiling faintly, he stood up and walked out of the cultivation room in large strides.
Just as he walked to the courtyard, a grey upright figure had already appeared in front of him, and it was none other than Dugu Bo.
"Grandpa, success?" Lin Manshan couldn't help but ask.
"Hm." Dugu Bo nodded slightly, then sighed, "I really didn't expect that the true Evil God died a long time ago."
"The one who presided over the Divine Examination for me was merely a divine thought left behind by the Evil God before his death."
"Grandpa, let's talk about it inside." Lin Manshan intervened.
"Uh-huh." Dugu Bo nodded and followed Lin Manshan into the house.
After a bit of talking, Lin Manshan was also able to understand what was going on.
The Evil God had died in the great battle against the Dragon God, and the world where he fell happened to be the Douluo Continent that the Dragon God was in charge of.
In order to retaliate against the Dragon God and the Spirit Beast clan, and also to pass down his divine throne, the Evil God divided his remaining divine thoughts into multiple portions. One of them was used to supervise the Assessment Space, also known as the Life and Death Arena. The remaining portions descended on various spirit beasts with excellent bloodlines on the continent. They were given the ability to devour and allowed to go and hunt their own kind to obtain energy for both nourishment and maintenance of the Divine Imprint.
In short, the spirit beasts that possessed the Evil God's imprint were nothing more than tools for the Evil God to take revenge on the spirit beast race and collect energy. When spirit beasts kill each other, whoever wins will be the next unlucky one to be possessed by the Evil God's imprint, starting a new cycle of killing.
Whereas, if a human spirit master kills one of them and is judged to have the qualifications to meet the requirements, he or she will be qualified to initiate the Divine Examination.
The content of the examination is very simple, the first stage is to kill all the spirit beasts that possessed the Evil Thought Imprint and collect the complete divine thought while absorbing the energy crystals dropped by the spirit beasts to strengthen themselves. If one fails, the spirit master will be drained on the spot, turning into pure energy to be absorbed by the assessment space, becoming the reserve energy to open the second stage of the assessment, the seven emotion assessment. It was worth mentioning that the purpose of the Seven Emotions Assessment was mainly to test the heir's state of mind, so a huge amount of energy was needed to generate and maintain the illusion.
Regarding this point, he had experienced it long ago, when he and Bibi Dong had stayed in the illusion realm of the Rakshasa God for decades. Maintaining the evolution of the illusion for such a long period of time would undoubtedly require an extremely large amount of energy.
It was no wonder that the Evil God had to utilize spirit beasts and even successors to collect energy.
Either pass or become a nutrient to pave the way for the next successor, the Evil God's test could be considered quite brutal.
Luckily, Dugu Bo passed, or else he would have been left with no bones left. Lin Manshan couldn't help but be thankful inwardly.
In addition, as he expected at first, the Evil God has an enmity with the Spirit Beast clan, and it is still a deadly enmity.
