"The Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul is a low-level beast martial soul; awakeners typically have innate soul power not exceeding level three. Its attribute is ice..."
Yu Xiaogang rambled on and on. In his opinion, an insect-type martial soul must be of a low level. Moreover, he had never heard of a famous Ice Jade Scorpion Title Douluo in the Douluo Continent.
The upper limit is definitely not very high.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's pretentious air of knowledge, Qianxunqian didn't laugh, but Tian'e laughed.
"The Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul is not the low-level Martial Soul you mentioned. It is a Martial Soul of the same quality as the Golden Crocodile of my family, and it is a top-level Beast Martial Soul!"
Yu Xiaogang broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like he'd messed up his attempt to show off...
Before he died, he still managed to force himself to say something:
"Lord Tian'e, what evidence do you have to prove that your theory is correct?"
Taking advantage of Yu Xiaogang's momentary daze, Qianxunqian leaped and snatched the book from the master's hand, accurately turning to the page about the Ice Jade Scorpion.
Next up is Crocodile's time to show off:
"The Ice Jade Scorpion, as a top-tier beast spirit, possesses both ice and poison elements. It is a spirit beast of the overlord level in the far north, with formidable strength. Moreover, the spirit owner of this beast has never had an innate spirit power lower than level six..."
"Within the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, there exists a sovereign, whom we call the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. It has discarded the toxins inherent in the Ice Jade Scorpion clan and cultivated the ice element to its extreme."
"And this kind of ice is the ultimate ice, which can suppress all ice-type martial souls and ice-type soul beasts except for the ultimate ice."
"The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul is the same as my Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul. Both are super Martial Souls, and their innate soul power has never been lower than level nine. As long as they don't die prematurely, they will definitely cultivate to the level of Title Douluo!"
Chihiro added, rather unkindly:
"Uncle, it's written in the book, exactly the same as what Uncle Tian'e said, look."
Yu Xiaogang nodded tremblingly. At this moment, he had lost all face, and all he could think about was how to escape from here.
As for concepts like "ultimate ice" and "super martial soul," he didn't understand them and didn't want to think about them.
But Chihiro is not someone to be trifled with; anyone can bully others by taking advantage of their power!
"Uncle Tian'e, it's him! He stole my book!"
"Well, you good-for-nothing! How dare you bully my little niece like this! Take this!"
Yu Xiaogang was beaten black and blue and was left like a stray dog at the entrance of the Spirit Hall library.
Not only that, Tian'e also ordered Yu Xiaogang not to enter the Spirit Hall library to browse books, citing the offense against the second young lady of the Spirit Hall.
"Finally, there's a reason to get rid of this scoundrel."
Tian'e naturally scoffed at Yu Xiaogang's theoretical talent, not believing that he could come up with anything worthwhile. Although the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and the Spirit Hall had a good relationship at the time, he still understood the principle of keeping the benefits within the family.
"Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling..."
Yu Xiaogang, trembling, stretched out his right hand, looked at the towering Spirit Hall library, and roared in despair:
"No!..."
In the blink of an eye, Chihiro turned six years old.
In the past three years, she has practically devoured all the books in the library.
The library was bustling with all sorts of people, but the one who impressed her the most was Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and the last emperor.
There's no other reason than that the impression of him being the saint's psychological counselor, especially since he didn't pay her, was too deep.
Yu Xiaogang was banned from entering the library, but Bibi Dong was allowed to. So, for the next three years, Bibi Dong kept borrowing and returning books from the library.
Thinking about the future fate of this last emperor, Chihiro also tried to communicate with her.
"Hey, Sister Bi, what's the point of all this borrowing and returning books?"
Bibi Dong naturally knew that Yu Xiaogang was banned from entering the library because he had offended the Second Miss in front of her, and she did not give Qianxun a friendly look during their first conversation.
"Knowledge belongs to everyone, so why can't Xiaogang be allowed in!"
"Because he offended me!"
Bibi Dong was taken aback: So straightforward?
"But you can't just bully people like this!"
Qianxun glanced coldly at Bibi Dong, stood up, and questioned:
"May I ask, Your Highness, are you the Holy Maiden of our Spirit Hall, or the Holy Maiden of their Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?"
"Naturally, it belongs to the Spirit Hall."
"Then why should we selflessly dedicate the Spirit Hall's theoretical reserves accumulated over thousands of years to Yu Xiaogang?"
"But…but…" Bibi Dong was speechless, her mind racing. Hey!
"His martial spirit theory is amazing. He recently developed a theory called 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Spirit.' Plus, he's disliked by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. We can try to win him over! What a brilliant theoretical master he is!"
Chihiro's lips twitched. Is this how a love-struck person talks?
"First, regardless of whether Yu Xiaogang is disliked by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, his father, Yu Yuanzhen, is still the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, and he is the patriarch's son. How likely do you think it is that a prince without military power or strength would defect to the enemy?"
"This…" Bibi Dong fell silent.
Qianxunqian's Political Classroom is now open for classes:
"In the Spirit Hall, even if he is a theoretical master, what level is he? He consumed so much from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan to barely reach level eighteen! How much status do you think he can have in our Spirit Hall?"
Bibi Dong: "This..."
"Our Spirit Hall has no shortage of people who study theory, but their cultivation levels aren't that bad either. Not to mention Title Douluo, Soul Saint or Soul Douluo are the minimum standards. Why is that?"
Bibi Dong said, "Because as the Soul Master's level increases, so does their lifespan."
"Yes! For researchers, the most important thing is lifespan. At most, let's assume that Yu Xiaogang can cultivate to the Soul Master level, but how long can he live? His lifespan is about the same as an ordinary person's, no more than eighty years old."
"Our Spirit Hall can only use his life for eighty years, but to give him a political status no less than that of the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan Chief, Your Highness, is this deal worth it?"
Looking into Qianxunqian's delicate yet serious eyes, Bibi Dong ultimately couldn't utter a single word in the face of overwhelming facts.
"Since our Spirit Hall can't offer him the best treatment, any smart person would choose the better Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, especially since, as you said, he's a brilliant theoretical master!"
Qianxunqian smiled slightly, a contemptuous look on her face.
"But...but I just like him!"
Seeing that she couldn't win a political argument with Qianxunqian, Bibi Dong had to change direction and shift the topic to love.
