"Once a spirit ring is absorbed, it becomes the Spirit Master's own power, and other Spirit Masters cannot use it. This is common knowledge for Spirit Masters."
"However, I have my own method to extract the power from it, but it requires your complete trust and cooperation."
"As for the torso bone... it is indeed more troublesome to extract than Spirit Bones from other parts, and the process will cause you more pain. However, if you are willing to trust me, I promise that extracting the 100,000-year torso bone will not cause severe damage to your body, and our Peach Garden Academy can help you recover to a healthy state."
"But, losing a 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone will make you weak and in pain for a period of time, and your spirit power might regress by one to four levels. After your body recovers, you can hunt for new spirit rings and Spirit Bones. These are all the disadvantages."
Su Ran saw Bibi Dong's concerns and explained.
But even so, choosing to abandon the power of a 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone is a huge challenge for a Spirit Master.
"Really?"
After listening to Su Ran's explanation, Bibi Dong's complexion improved slightly.
"I swear on my honor, if you die during the process of extracting the 100,000-year spirit ring and 100,000-year Spirit Bone, I, Su Ran, will take my own life and follow you."
Su Ran stood amidst the vast peach blossoms, raising his right hand and swearing to the heavens.
Actually, it wasn't that Su Ran coveted this Spirit Bone and spirit ring; rather, he wanted to resolve this troublesome matter for his Disciple. If he could obtain it, that would naturally be for the best.
Seeing Su Ran's figure standing tall between heaven and earth, Bibi Dong's heart fluttered.
Even if Yu Xiaogang swore to her that he would take her 100,000-year Spirit Bone and spirit ring, she would kick him flying.
But when these words came from Su Ran's mouth, there was an inexplicable sense of credibility.
Teacher Su is going to die for me?
(Blushing)
...
"Hey, Xiao Wu, what are you peeking at?"
"You look all secretive and nervous. Did someone steal your carrots?"
Here, under a red maple tree outside the girls' dormitory, Meng Yiran returned from studying in the Weaponry Repair Pavilion and patted Xiao Wu's shoulder.
Xiao Wu's eyes were secretly fixed on Bibi Dong's back in front of the academy.
Her fists were tightly clenched, and she indeed looked very nervous, as if she was staring at an enemy.
Startled by Meng Yiran's pat, Xiao Wu quickly said,
"Senior Sister Meng Yiran, don't mind me, I'm just checking the situation. You go Cultivate."
"Tense body, solemn expression, sharp eyes... According to the Hidden Weapons assassination knowledge taught by the teacher, this completely matches the characteristics of an assassin targeting their vital prey."
"Is that... the teacher?"
"Oh my goodness, Xiao Wu, you want to kill the teacher?"
"Other Senior Sisters only fantasize about pushing the teacher down every day, but you actually want to kill the teacher?! Isn't that too rebellious?!"
"Oh, Senior Sister Meng Yiran, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Teased by Meng Yiran, Xiao Wu's little face turned red with urgency.
This woman is very strong, and she cannot expose herself yet.
But at this moment, Teacher Su Ran's voice drifted over lightly:
"Xiao Wu, come here."
"Yes, Teacher."
Hearing the teacher's call, Xiao Wu's body trembled slightly. She tried her best to regain her composure and walked in front of the teacher, giving a slight teacher's salute, but her peripheral vision couldn't help but glance at Bibi Dong on the other side.
Meng Yiran behind her was a bit confused. Out of her Hidden Weapons instinct, she always felt that the atmosphere was a bit off. She waved her hand and said,
"Teacher, then I'll go back to continue my studies."
Su Ran nodded, his smile as warm as sunlight after rain: "Go."
...
"Teacher Su, why did you suddenly call this student over? Could it be... could it be that the spirit ring and Spirit Bone you want are not for yourself, but for her?"
Bibi Dong looked at Xiao Wu in surprise.
Just now, after hearing Su Ran's promise, in order to solve the problem of'Shallow Fate' that Su Ran mentioned, she agreed to give away the 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone, provided there was no life-threatening danger.
Although the 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone are very precious, in her eyes, exchanging them for a connection with Teacher Su and an opportunity to stay at Peach Garden Academy was worth it.
But when she confirmed her agreement, Su Ran called over a student.
Bibi Dong found it hard not to associate this matter with Xiao Wu.
Immediately, she was filled with jealousy, and her gaze towards Xiao Wu was tinged with resentment.
Teacher Su, for her sake, is actually going to hunt his own 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone!
"What you said is not wrong. Your 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone are indeed related to this Disciple of mine."
Bibi Dong's question was affirmed by Su Ran!
Bibi Dong felt even more sour!
Xiao Wu, however, looked at Teacher Su Ran with confused and incredulous eyes, "Teacher? 100,000-year spirit ring, Spirit Bone? For me?"
"That's right, it is indeed for you. However, it's not so much 'for' you as 'returning' it to you."
Su Ran glanced at Xiao Wu and Bibi Dong, led both of them to sit down at the peach blossom table, and began,
"This is a long story. I hope that after I speak frankly, both of you will try to remain rational."
"Supreme Pontiff, do you still remember that the reason I just refused you was because of a shallow fate?"
"The one with a deeper fate than you is this Disciple of mine, Xiao Wu. She was among the first group of Disciples to study with me. She and you are destined to be incompatible, like fire and water."
"Therefore, as long as she is here, I cannot keep you."
When Su Ran said this, Bibi Dong's face was already very unsightly; she was almost unable to hold back an outburst.
Even if she endured to the extreme, she couldn't bear to be bullied like this.
Bibi Dong stood up:
"Teacher Su, I have never met this Disciple of yours before, at most I saw her at the Soul Master Competition. How can there be incompatibility like fire and water? I believe I have shown you the utmost respect, but you cannot bully me like this!"
"This feeling is really unbearable. Yu Xiaogang used me before, and now Teacher Su, you are also using me. Why do all the men I encounter treat me like this? What exactly should I do to make you treat me a little better? Even if you just lie to me, it would be fine."
"I am a person with self-respect too."
Bibi Dong felt extremely wronged. Even if Su Ran coveted her 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone, she would be willing to accept it. But he actually plotted for her spirit ring and Spirit Bone, harming her body to curry favor with his student right in front of her. This was a tremendous insult to her.
Strong as the Supreme Pontiff was, tears could not be stopped from welling up in her eyes at this moment, and two clear tears fell as she looked at Su Ran.
If it weren't for Su Ran's peerless countenance, shining brightly amidst the peach blossoms and stimulating her spirit, she might have already unleashed her spirit rings and caused a huge commotion in Peach Garden Academy.
"Supreme Pontiff..."
"It's not what you think."
Su Ran hadn't expected Bibi Dong to be so angered that she cried. After all, she was no longer in her tender youth; she now held a high position and possessed great strength. Her tears indicated that she was truly enraged.
Su Ran quickly glanced at Xiao Wu:
"Xiao Wu, tell the Supreme Pontiff about the grudges between you two."
"Don't worry, I've already talked to her. No matter how big the matter is, the teacher will handle it. You can speak freely."
