Everything unfolded exactly as Yu Xiaogang had expected.
After witnessing the miserable condition of the five Spirit Masters who had challenged him, the other students instantly made up their minds never to provoke him again.
After all, if they were hit by that strange Spirit Ability and ended up losing control of themselves in public…
How would they ever face anyone afterward?
Especially those two unlucky Spirit Masters who were still tightly clinging to each other in front of everyone.
It was obvious this incident would become a lifelong source of ridicule.
Some students were already laughing so hard they could barely stand.
Others looked at Yu Xiaogang with fear and caution in their eyes.
To them, his combat power was not the scariest thing.
It was the bizarre effects of his Spirit Ability.
After all, getting beaten up in battle was one thing.
But being forced to embarrass yourself publicly was another matter entirely.
At that moment, Zhao Xunxing slowly stepped forward.
He glanced at the five defeated students before turning toward Yu Xiaogang.
"Alright."
"Since your opponents have already admitted defeat, Yu Xiaogang, you may go and rest."
Then his tone became slightly more serious.
"As for the remaining cultivation lessons, I hope everyone can continue to keep up properly."
The students immediately straightened their backs after hearing their teacher speak.
Although Zhao Xunxing usually appeared easygoing, no one dared underestimate him.
After giving several more instructions, he finally announced the end of today's training session.
The moment he left—
The previously quiet training ground instantly exploded into noise.
The students rushed toward the five defeated Spirit Masters like a group of excited spectators.
With mischievous smiles plastered across their faces, they surrounded the unlucky group and continuously asked how they felt.
The two students who were still embracing each other looked utterly humiliated.
Their faces were red enough to drip blood.
"Help us separate already!"
One of them shouted desperately.
"We can't control it!"
The surrounding students immediately nodded enthusiastically.
"Of course!"
"No problem!"
"We'll help right away!"
Yet despite their words, not a single person actually stepped forward.
Instead, everyone simply continued watching the spectacle while laughing harder.
Yu Xiaogang merely glanced at the noisy crowd before calmly preparing to leave the training ground.
He planned to take a walk around Spirit Hall Academy before heading to the library in Spirit City.
However, just as he turned around—
A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"Your Spirit Ability is quite interesting."
"And that little dragon of yours… it can actually fight together with you like that."
Yu Xiaogang paused and turned his head.
Standing nearby was Bibi Dong.
At this moment, Bibi Dong was carefully observing Little Dragon, who remained quietly beside Yu Xiaogang.
Curiosity and surprise were clearly visible in her eyes.
The battle Yu Xiaogang displayed earlier had genuinely shocked her.
She had imagined Yu Xiaogang fighting alongside his Spirit before.
But she never expected both the Spirit Master and the Spirit itself to independently release Spirit Abilities.
Such a fighting style was simply unheard of.
Yu Xiaogang smiled faintly.
"After all, I nearly lost my life obtaining that thousand-year spirit ring."
"If the abilities it provided were too weak, wouldn't that sacrifice have been meaningless?"
His tone was calm, but Bibi Dong still noticed the confidence hidden within his words.
Then Yu Xiaogang gently patted Little Dragon's head.
"As for Little Dragon…"
"I still haven't fully uncovered all of its potential."
Yu Xiaogang did not hide this fact.
Because even now, Little Dragon's evolution was still incomplete.
No one knew what it would eventually become.
Nor could anyone predict what abilities it might gain after evolving further.
Of course, Yu Xiaogang himself disliked relying purely on luck.
Compared to waiting passively for destiny, he preferred carefully preparing for every possibility himself.
Bibi Dong's eyes brightened slightly.
"Then let's spar sometime."
"From what I saw earlier, you definitely weren't using your full strength."
Although Yu Xiaogang's current spirit rank was not particularly high, his actual combat power clearly exceeded his level by a huge margin.
Coincidentally—
Bibi Dong was the same.
Furthermore, both of them were disciples connected to Titled Douluo-level figures and belonged to the same generation.
In Bibi Dong's eyes, Yu Xiaogang felt like an opponent chosen for her by fate itself.
Yu Xiaogang looked at her quietly for a moment before nodding.
"Alright."
"I'm also curious about the strength of the Supreme Pontiff's disciple."
In truth, he shared similar thoughts.
Among people his age, Bibi Dong was undoubtedly the most extraordinary opponent he had encountered so far.
The two continued chatting casually for some time afterward.
Eventually, Yu Xiaogang left the training ground and headed toward the Spirit City library.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong also departed from Spirit Hall Academy and returned directly to Spirit Hall itself.
The moment she entered the building, a servant respectfully approached her.
"Lady Bibi Dong."
"His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff requests your presence."
Bibi Dong nodded casually.
"Understood."
Clearly, this was nothing unusual.
Soon afterward, she arrived outside the Supreme Pontiff's office.
Without any hesitation, she pushed open the door and entered naturally.
Inside the room, Qian Xunji was busy handling documents behind his desk.
Bibi Dong, meanwhile, walked straight toward the table holding refreshments and snacks before casually sitting down to eat.
Qian Xunji merely glanced at her behavior before continuing his work calmly.
Obviously, he had long grown accustomed to scenes like this.
After signing another document, he finally spoke.
"How was class today?"
Bibi Dong stuffed a snack into her mouth before answering casually.
"It was alright."
"Teacher Zhao is still the same as always."
Qian Xunji nodded slightly.
Then he suddenly changed the topic.
"What about that boy, Yu Xiaogang?"
"Zhao Xunxing should have arranged sparring matches for him today, correct?"
At the mention of Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong immediately became more interested.
"Teacher, you have no idea."
"That guy's Spirit and Spirit Abilities are incredibly strange."
The pen in Qian Xunji's hand paused.
For the first time, genuine interest appeared in his eyes.
"Oh?"
"Tell me everything in detail."
Bibi Dong immediately began describing the events of the battle while continuing to snack casually.
As she spoke, Qian Xunji's expression gradually became more serious.
"A Spirit capable of fighting independently alongside its Spirit Master…"
"And able to release Spirit Abilities simultaneously…"
"I didn't expect such a Spirit could actually exist."
As the Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji's understanding naturally far surpassed Bibi Dong's.
From her explanation alone, he could already sense the terrifying potential hidden within Yu Xiaogang's Separate Beast Spirit.
If it continued developing properly…
Then in the future, Yu Xiaogang alone might possess combat power comparable to two Titled Douluo fighting together.
Of course, Qian Xunji paid little attention to the two Spirit Abilities Bibi Dong considered impressive.
In his eyes, one merely possessed decent flexibility, while the other was useful for crowd control in group battles.
At the end of the day, however, they were still only thousand-year Spirit Abilities.
Perhaps they seemed powerful now while Yu Xiaogang remained weak.
But once his strength increased further in the future, such abilities would likely become mediocre.
Because of this, Qian Xunji gradually lowered his guard.
He naturally assumed Yu Xiaogang had already revealed all of his important abilities.
From this perspective, Yu Xiaogang's decision to conceal information had been extremely wise.
After thinking silently for a moment, Qian Xunji suddenly asked another question.
"Donger."
"What do you think of Yu Xiaogang as a person?"
Bibi Dong stopped eating.
After thinking carefully for several seconds, she finally answered honestly.
"He's very calm and methodical."
"But also somewhat arrogant."
Qian Xunji nodded slowly.
Then he asked again.
"How far do you think he can go in the future?"
Bibi Dong hesitated briefly.
"I'm not sure exactly how far…"
"But one thing is certain."
"He definitely won't remain weak."
The moment she finished speaking, Qian Xunji suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha!"
"I think the same."
He leaned back slightly in his chair.
"His Innate Spirit Power is only Rank 1."
"And yet his first two spirit rings are both thousand-year rings."
"Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possesses secret medicines, as the son of a Titled Douluo, he could have easily lived a comfortable life."
"But instead, he risked his life to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring as his first ring."
"When he returned after obtaining it, his injuries reportedly took a very long time to heal."
At this point, Qian Xunji's eyes narrowed slightly.
"From this alone, it's obvious."
"Yu Xiaogang possesses extraordinary determination."
"And his ambitions are certainly not small."
"There is ruthlessness within him."
"Especially the kind of ruthlessness directed toward oneself."
Qian Xunji's tone became more serious.
"People who can truly be ruthless toward themselves are extremely rare."
"And those kinds of people rarely remain ordinary."
"I am certain his future achievements will not be low."
Hearing such high praise from her teacher, Bibi Dong looked genuinely surprised.
After all, Qian Xunji rarely complimented anyone so openly.
Yet before she could react further—
Qian Xunji suddenly looked directly at her.
"Therefore, Donger…"
"I need you to become close friends with Yu Xiaogang while he remains at Spirit Hall Academy."
"I want him to develop goodwill toward Spirit Hall."
His voice remained calm and steady.
But the meaning behind those words instantly stunned Bibi Dong.
She blinked in surprise.
For a moment, she even wondered if she had misheard him.
Then Qian Xunji continued calmly.
"How about it?"
"Can you do it?"
