Meng Yiran held the jade box containing the dragon transformation grass, her Face flushing red; she was embarrassed by Yang Yuan calling her out.
But she soon regained her composure and pushed the jade box back toward Yang Yuan.
"Class Monitor, you've helped me so much lately, and I have nothing to repay you with. Please, just accept this stalk of dragon transformation grass."
She had heard her grandparents talk about the dragon transformation grass. To put it bluntly, if she were to consume it now, there was a high probability she could increase her level by three or four ranks.
But she knew even better that what Yang Yuan had taught her could never be measured by a mere stalk of dragon transformation grass.
However, Yang Yuan still smiled and shook his head.
"If it were any other time, I would be happy to accept your gift, but right now, you need this dragon transformation grass more than I do."
At this point, Dugu Yan also spoke up, "Yiran, since Yang Yuan has said so, keep the dragon transformation grass for yourself. Strive to have a Breakthrough to Spirit Ancestor before the Grand Finals."
Hearing this and seeing Yang Yuan nod again, Meng Yiran replied seriously, "Class Monitor, Sister Yanzi, don't worry. I will definitely reach the level of Spirit Ancestor before the Grand Finals and never drag the team down."
In the crowd, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty Face wore a complex expression. While she was happy for Meng Yiran, she also felt a slight pang of distress in her heart.
Originally, she and Meng Yiran were the only two Spirit Elders in the Heaven Dou Vice Team, making them sisters in hardship.
But because of her Spirit Ability, her role in the team was significantly higher than Meng Yiran's.
But now, if Meng Yiran reached level 40 before the Grand Finals, her advantage in Spirit Ability would mean nothing in front of Meng Yiran.
Suddenly, the pressure was thrust upon her!
If she were the only Spirit Elder left in the entire team, even if no one said anything, Zhuqing would still feel like she was losing Face.
Meng Shu and Chaotian Xiang were equally shocked to see this scene.
With their experience, they could naturally see that Yang Yuan's refusal of the dragon transformation grass wasn't just to save Face; he truly didn't care for it.
In their decades of life, this was the first time they had met such a person.
"He is truly a benefactor for Yiran!"
"If he could become Yiran's husband, then even if us two old folks died right now, we could rest in peace."
Meng Shu and Chaotian Xiang glanced at each other. Though they didn't speak, their thoughts were surprisingly in sync.
However, they were also aware that given Yang Yuan's qualities, Meng Yiran didn't stand a chance... Over the next few days.
With the help of the dragon transformation grass, Meng Yiran successfully reached level 40, then followed the Unrivaled Dragon and Snake couple to the Sunset Forest to hunt for her fourth spirit ring.
Meanwhile, the Promotion Round continued as usual. The Heaven Dou Vice Team remained undefeated, advancing triumphantly.
Back at the Heaven Dou Academy.
Under Yang Yuan's strict prodding, Xiao Wu finally reached level 40 before the end of the Promotion Round.
"Boss, what should I do next?"
In the quiet forest, Xiao Wu's cute Face held a hint of flattery.
She was thinking that if she behaved well, maybe one day her Boss would let her go back.
Looking at Xiao Wu's appearance, Yang Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Condense your fourth spirit ring right here."
"Alright!"
Xiao Wu nodded like a chick pecking rice and sat cross-legged on the ground immediately.
She naturally knew that the reason Yang Yuan wanted her to condense the spirit ring in front of him was to figure out how to self-condense spirit rings.
However, in Xiao Wu's eyes, this was just wishful thinking.
Self-condensing spirit rings was a unique ability of a Transformed Spirit Beast. How could Yang Yuan, a human, possibly learn it?
But well, if he insisted on learning, it didn't matter. She would just do as he said anyway.
Yang Yuan naturally didn't know Xiao Wu's inner thoughts; he just sat calmly opposite her.
He already had some clues regarding self-condensing spirit rings.
Today, he would use the opportunity of Xiao Wu self-condensing her spirit ring to completely master the method.
Yang Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze like torches. Within his Double Pupils, billions of runes flowed.
In his sight, the spirit power around Xiao Wu fluctuated violently. A faint red glow seeped from her skin, forming a thin film.
A massive phantom of a Soft Bones Rabbit condensed behind Xiao Wu, while above her head, a purple spirit ring slowly solidified from a phantom state.
The moment he saw this spirit ring, a light of Chaos flashed in Yang Yuan's eyes.
Now is the time!
Inside Yang Yuan's Double Pupils, billions of runes flowed and evolved frantically.
At this moment, his brain seemed to enter a special Domain, his mind becoming crystal clear.
Under his deduction, the process of Xiao Wu self-condensing her spirit ring was peeled back layer by layer, dismantled into the most basic and primitive Laws.
Yang Yuan continuously deduced this process, comprehending its essence.
As time passed, even after Xiao Wu had condensed her fourth spirit ring, Yang Yuan showed no sign of stopping, still sitting cross-legged in place without moving.
Currents of Chaos Qi swirled around him. Though he didn't emit a powerful pressure, he gave off a sense of holiness and majesty, like a deity.
Watching this, Xiao Wu felt something was wrong and was startled.
"Did Yang Yuan really learn it?"
The way Yang Yuan looked now didn't seem like someone who had gained nothing.
Amidst her shock, Xiao Wu leaned in and began to curiously size Yang Yuan up.
In Xiao Wu's heart, Yang Yuan had always been a very unique person.
He was about the same age as her and her Third Brother, but his talent was terrifyingly high.
If she and her Third Brother were monsters, then he was the king of monsters.
What made Xiao Wu feel Yang Yuan was even more unique was his behavior.
He clearly knew she was a hundred thousand year Spirit Beast transformation, yet he had no intention of killing her for her Spirit Bone.
Even if he truly looked down on her Spirit Bone, he could just sell it to someone else, couldn't he?
If a hundred thousand year spirit bone were sold, wouldn't it fetch eighty or a hundred thousand gold coins?
To Xiao Wu, a hundred thousand gold coins was an astronomical figure. Even if she squandered it every day, it would last her a lifetime.
Xiao Wu's mind was filled with random thoughts, and she didn't notice she was getting closer and closer to Yang Yuan.
Suddenly, a soft cough sounded by her ear.
Xiao Wu snapped back to her senses, only to find her Face was inches away from Yang Yuan's.
And a pair of eyes as deep as an abyss were calmly watching her.
"Aaahhh!!"
Caught off guard by those eyes, Xiao Wu was instantly startled. Her body leaned back, her butt hit the ground, and she used her hands to scramble backward several times.
"What are you screaming for!"
Yang Yuan flicked his finger, and a burst of Qi instantly struck Xiao Wu's smooth forehead.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Wu covered her forehead and cried out in pain, her small Face showing an expression of suffering.
Her eyes welled up with tears.
A small red swelling had already appeared on her smooth forehead.
"Boss, I only screamed because you scared me. Why did you have to hit me?"
Xiao Wu said aggrievedly.
"You have the nerve to say that? If I hadn't finished my comprehension just now, I was afraid you'd headbutt me."
Yang Yuan glared at her.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu gave an embarrassed smile.
"Hehe, I just got lost in thought!"
Yang Yuan said crossly, "Those who didn't know better would think you were daydreaming about love just now."
"My heart only has my Third Brother; I wouldn't daydream about love over you."
Xiao Wu muttered softly. Thinking back to Yang Yuan's appearance just now, she looked curious.
"Boss, seeing you just now, did you really learn how to self-condense a spirit ring?"
The corners of Yang Yuan's mouth curled up.
"Guess?"
