Chapter 106: Star Dou Great Forest, Mixed Zone
"Dad, what were you all doing?" Ning Rongrong walked up to Ning Fengzhi and asked coquettishly.
"I asked Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone for a long time, but they refused to tell me."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi immediately looked up at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Seeing this, the two Titled Douluo shook their heads slightly at him, and Ning Fengzhi instantly understood what they meant.
"It was nothing. We merely accompanied His Highness the Crown Prince to meet a student from Heaven Dou Royal Academy with outstanding talent," Ning Fengzhi said slowly after a brief silence.
In the end, he still did not tell his daughter about Lin Mo.
If Lin Mo's cultivation were still only at the Spirit Elder realm, he might have used news of him to motivate Ning Rongrong.
But when the gap in cultivation was too large, excessive stimulation would only have the opposite effect.
"Rongrong."
Ning Fengzhi reached out and rubbed Ning Rongrong's head, his gaze becoming much firmer.
"Dad has decided to send you to an academy to study after some time. Don't worry, you will definitely like that academy."
"No, I don't want to go." Ning Rongrong immediately hugged Ning Fengzhi's arm and began acting spoiled.
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, hurry and persuade Dad!"
To Ning Rongrong's surprise, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were unusually united this time.
Sword Douluo coughed lightly and said, "Rongrong, it really is time for you to cultivate properly."
Ning Rongrong had indeed been spoiled rotten by him and Bone Douluo. Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, she was practically a lawless little witch.
Even Ning Fengzhi himself felt extremely troubled by this.
Seeing that acting spoiled was useless, Ning Rongrong made a face at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, then quickly ran off.
Watching the direction Ning Rongrong left, Bone Douluo spoke to Ning Fengzhi without turning his head. His voice gradually turned cold.
"Clan Master, how should we deal with that boy Lin Mo?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi rubbed his temples, looking quite troubled.
"Let things remain as they are. Don't think about making any moves against him. Right now, both the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and Dugu Bo value him immensely."
"There is no need to fall out with them over a genius who has yet to fully grow."
Compared to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Dugu Bo gave Ning Fengzhi an even greater headache.
The reason was simple. In this world, strength ultimately spoke louder than anything else. Even if Dugu Bo ranked near the bottom among Titled Douluo, he was still a Titled Douluo.
More importantly, he was one of the very few Titled Douluo who specialized in poison.
If they truly clashed with Dugu Bo and a battle broke out, should his poison accidentally spread, their side would likely have no survivors except for the Titled Douluo experts.
Furthermore, Dugu Bo had always been a loner and acted entirely according to his whims.
This reckless style made even those stronger than him unwilling to provoke him lightly.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dugu Bo had already taken Lin Mo deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, reaching an area ordinary Spirit Masters would never dare to enter easily.
The area they were heading to this time was too dangerous, so they had not brought Dugu Yan or Ye Lingling along.
If categorized according to the regional divisions of the Star Dou Great Forest ten thousand years later, the area they were currently in should be deep within the Mixed Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Almost no Hundred-Year Spirit Beasts could be seen here. The vast majority were Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts, and even Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts appeared from time to time.
If Dugu Bo were not leading him, Lin Mo would never have dared to venture so deep into the Star Dou Great Forest alone.
After all, the danger level of the Star Dou Great Forest was far beyond what other Spirit Beast forests could compare to.
Even Titled Douluo would not dare say they could move freely here without fear, much less claim invincibility.
And this was under the condition that the true top powers of the Star Dou Great Forest were still slumbering, absorbing the power of that Big Worm, with only the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python left outside to guard the gate.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
"Lin Mo, what kind of Spirit Beast do you actually want for your fourth spirit ring?" Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Mo in front of him.
"Over these three days, we've already encountered more than one high-quality Dragon-type Spirit Beast and fire-attribute Spirit Beast!"
"Among so many Spirit Beasts, is there really not a single one that satisfies you?"
At this point, Dugu Bo subconsciously glanced at the Charmeleon beside Lin Mo, who was pretending to look innocent.
"And I can sense that the Dragon-type beasts we encountered earlier basically had Sub-Dragon Bloodline qualities. Among Dragon-type Spirit Beasts, that is already excellent."
"Don't tell me you're planning to find a True Dragon Spirit Beast to serve as your fourth spirit ring."
"The quality of spirit rings produced by those Sub-Dragon Spirit Beasts is already extremely good. Their spirit rings can also provide excellent nourishment for your Charmeleon Martial Soul. There might even be a possibility for further progress in the future."
Dugu Bo subconsciously glanced at the protrusion on Charmeleon's head and spoke softly.
But in his heart, he suddenly became a little doubtful.
Could Lin Mo's Martial Soul really be capable of further progress, continuing what he called evolution?
That should not be possible.
Dugu Bo silently comforted himself.
Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled somewhat awkwardly, then spoke cautiously.
"Let's keep looking a little longer. Although the quality of those Spirit Beasts was good, I still feel they were lacking something."
"If we search for another two or three days and truly can't find a suitable Spirit Beast for Charmeleon, then we'll go back and kill that fire-attribute Spirit Beast to serve as Charmeleon's fourth spirit ring."
If Charmeleon were a normal Dragon-type Spirit, Lin Mo would certainly have followed Dugu Bo's advice and chosen one of those Sub-Dragon Spirit Beasts they had encountered as Charmeleon's fourth spirit ring.
But the crux of the matter was that from its initial hatching to Charmander evolving into Charmeleon, these changes had little to do with spirit rings.
The reason it could continuously evolve was due to Charmander's own characteristics.
Furthermore, with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lin Mo did not need spirit rings to improve Charmeleon's Bloodline at all.
What could be more suitable for Charmeleon than the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?
To put it more directly, under the nourishment of the Blazing Yang Spring's power, the concentration of Dragon blood within Charmeleon was steadily increasing.
If categorized by Pokémon types, the current Charmeleon was likely a Pokémon with fire as its primary attribute and Dragon as its secondary attribute.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo could not help but feel secretly pleased.
Now, who would dare say his Charizard did not have the Dragon type?
