"I just met Ning Fengzhi. He seems to have obtained the method for the Soul Core and is very happy," Bibi Dong said.
"While the Soul Core is cause for happiness, what's truly exciting isn't that," Xiao Ze said, putting down what he was doing.
"spirit tools?" Bibi Dong was clever, immediately thinking of the important matter.
"Exactly. spirit tools are what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly needs. Without the Soul Core, at most there would be a few less Titled Douluo. Besides, who said having a Soul Core would necessarily lead to more Titled Douluo?
Let alone Spirit Douluo, even the number of Spirit Saints is very small. So, the Soul Core doesn't actually affect the continental power structure.
Compared to the Soul Core, spirit tools are definitely more important."
Hearing Xiao Ze say this, Bibi Dong nodded, "That's true. If spirit tools are strong enough, even a Titled Douluo can't stop them. So, spirit tools will definitely be the mainstream in the future."
"Don't you feel a bit dejected right now?" Xiao Ze asked curiously.
"No, why do you ask?" Bibi Dong looked suspicious.
"Don't you feel that after decades of effort to become a Titled Douluo, you're about to be caught up by Soul Engineers, and those decades of effort were in vain?"
"Haha, not many Spirit Masters can become Titled Douluo. Similarly, is it that easy to become a Ninth-Rank Soul Engineer?
Spirit Masters, at least, can cultivate as long as they have innate spirit power, but Soul Engineers are even more demanding. It's only because our Spirit Hall is so vast and powerful that those people are all one-in-a-hundred geniuses. Otherwise, the advancement of spirit tools wouldn't be so fast." Bibi Dong saw things very clearly.
Although spirit tools will be the mainstream in the future, even the strongest spirit tools still need Spirit Masters to control them.
Therefore, Spirit Masters are the unchanging core, and any system needs to revolve around Spirit Masters.
Otherwise, why would you create it?
Xiao Ze was slightly surprised that Bibi Dong saw things so clearly. No wonder she could sit firmly in the Supreme Pontiff's position.
"You're right. Maybe one day in the future, our spirit tools will even be able to take Spirit Masters into the cosmos."
"Then I still think my path to godhood will be faster."
"By the way, get ready. Once the matter of the Soul Core is largely resolved, we will move against the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest.
I'm already level seventy, and I need both a Spirit Bone and a spirit ring."
"Good. I've been waiting for their two spirit rings for a long time." A hint of coldness flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"Let's agree first: the spirit rings of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python are yours, but their Spirit Bones, as well as Xiao Wu's spirit ring and Spirit Bone, are mine," Xiao Ze said.
"That's fine. My Spirit Bones are already full, so I don't need them. But you probably can't absorb Xiao Wu's Spirit right now, can you?"
"That's where I'll need your help."
...After Ning Fengzhi and the other two finished touring the Soul Tool Legion, they were all silent.
It wasn't until they left Spirit City that Ning Fengzhi spoke, "This continent is about to change. The power of the Soul Tool Legion and the Spirit Master Legion of the past are on completely different dimensions."
Gu Rong nodded, "Indeed. Between two legions of the same realm, the Soul Engineer Legion can completely crush a normal Spirit Master Legion, let alone other ordinary legions."
"Fengzhi, we must obtain these spirit tools. Then the strength of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will increase significantly. This is much more practical than the Soul Core," Chen Xin said.
Although the Soul Core can help break through to Titled Douluo, how many Spirit Douluo does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have? There aren't many at eighty-ninth rank right now, and even Ning Fengzhi hasn't reached eighty-ninth rank yet.
So, the Soul Core isn't very useful.
But spirit tools are different; they are something that can genuinely enhance the Sect's foundation.
It's just a pity that they most likely won't be able to learn to manufacture them from Spirit Hall themselves, but being able to buy them would still be very good.
"Don't worry, when the time comes that they're available for purchase, I will definitely act. There is no force on this continent richer than our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem at all."
Chen Xin and Gu Rong both nodded. Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School indeed wasn't short on money.
Isn't money meant to be used? Otherwise, if it just sits in the treasury, it will all turn to dust.
Over the next period, many forces came to Spirit Hall.
Sects like the Sacred Dragon Sect and the Lower Four Sects also arrived.
Of course, there were also some minor forces Xiao Ze had never heard of.
Xiao Ze had also been doing good business these past few days, mainly exchanging Soul Cores for resources, such as resources for manufacturing spirit tools.
Recently, perhaps the Star Luo Empire discovered what was happening in Gengxin City, making it very troublesome to buy many special metals.
However, there were still many such metals scattered in other places, though buying them was more complicated.
But for the sake of spirit tools, this was the only way.
After all, the Star Luo Empire possesses about seventy percent of the entire continent's mineral resources... Today.
Early in the morning, Bibi Dong summoned all the Titled Douluo who were going to the Star Dou Great Forest this time.
There were five of them in total.
Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and Spirit Vulture Douluo.
Each of them was a Super Douluo, making a total of six Super Douluo including Bibi Dong.
With Xiao Wu, the little rabbit, in hand, it was enough.
"You all know what we are going to do today. All actions are to follow orders," Bibi Dong said indifferently.
"Yes."
"Go bring that little rabbit to me."
...The prison's iron gate was roughly pushed open, emitting a harsh screech.
A Hall Knight precisely grabbed a wrist as thin as a withered branch.
He forcefully dragged Xiao Wu out of the cage, her spine bumping against the stone steps with a dull thud, and the shackles on her ankles dragged a winding trail of blood behind her.
The rats in the corner scurried away in panic.
Once outside, Xiao Wu, who hadn't seen the sun in too long, couldn't help but squint her eyes. She looked up at the sky, her gaze vacant; she couldn't even remember how many days she had been imprisoned.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was so thin she was just a skeleton; her once lively self had completely vanished.
Lice crawled in her matted, dirt-encrusted hair.
Her exposed skin was covered in black and purple bruises and festering sores, and her entire body emitted a foul stench of feces mixed with rotting flesh.
Xiao Wu's lips moved.
Third Brother, where are you... Third Brother, have you abandoned me?
When Bibi Dong, Xiao Ze, and the others saw Xiao Wu, they were momentarily stunned.
It hadn't been that long since they last saw her, and she had already become like this. It seems that prison really isn't a place to go.
However, no one felt sorry for her. In the eyes of Spirit Masters, she was a spirit ring and Spirit Bone; in the eyes of Spirit Beasts, she was a traitor.
She belonged to neither side.
"Let's go. Depart for the Star Dou Great Forest."
Hearing the name of the Star Dou Great Forest, a glimmer of vitality appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes.
Xiao Ze sensed it keenly, "Little rabbit, do you want to know why we're going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Xiao Wu slightly raised her head.
