Why did you take a liking to that guy? I'm telling you, the Breaking Clan suffered a huge setback with the Clear Sky Sect. There might not be much loyalty to speak of if you take him in.
Dugu Bo couldn't help but look at Li Qing to remind him.
Li Qing smiled, "Where is there any loyalty in this world? There is only interest. Loyalty is something only those who are not confident in themselves need to consider."
"Uh..."
Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment. Sometimes, he really wondered if an adult soul resided in this kid's body. Even many adults weren't as insightful as him.
"Then why don't you help your wife's grandfather? Ye Tianxing is surely more reliable than that guy, right?"
Li Qing smiled, "How do you know I didn't help?"
He did help, because Ye Tianxing's Spirit was the Scarlet Flame Tiger, and its attributes were quite compatible with the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, so Li Qing gave him the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
As for why a support family would produce a Scarlet Flame Tiger Spirit.
Haven't you seen that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also trying its best to recruit Spirit Masters of other categories? Relying solely on support cannot last forever, not to mention there can only be two Nine Heart Sea Tang at the same time.
What Ye Tianxing inherited was his mother's Spirit.
However, although the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower helped his Spirit complete its evolution and gain Ultimate Flame, it only brought him two levels of spirit power increase.
He is only level eighty-six now. There is still a long way to go to become a Titled Douluo, and it's even hard to say if he can become one.
After all, his age is a factor.
"You kid!"
Dugu Bo was amused by his anger. He didn't expect this kid to quietly think ahead of him.
But he didn't think too much about it.
After all, the grandfather and grandson were now tied to Li Qing. The stronger the energy gathered around Li Qing, the more beneficial it would be for them.
While chatting, Li Qing and the other person quickly found the place Yang Wudi mentioned.
The Death Spirit Vulture is a giant bird of prey. It reaches a thousand years upon reaching adulthood, with a wingspan of up to five meters. Although they are scavenging birds of prey, they don't just scavenge.
When they really can't find carrion, they will also actively hunt.
Legend has it that the Death Spirit Vulture was born in the underworld. Meat is just a means for them to maintain their physical functions; souls are their favorite food.
The reason such rumors spread is that their Spirit Abilities are aimed at the soul level.
Their Spirit Abilities are released through their eyes, two beams of profound light that directly strike the soul. Once hit, mild cases result in mental disorientation, severe cases directly become brain dead, or even soul death.
It is a Spirit Beast with strong threat.
Looking at the more than twenty Death Spirit Vultures, Li Qing couldn't help but fall into contemplation. For Spirit Beasts whose Spirit Abilities involve the soul, the soul shock would likely be terrifying.
How about lowering the age limit a bit?
After thinking for a moment, Li Qing still didn't dare to gamble with his own life. He looked sideways at Dugu Bo, "Let's go with the one around twenty-five thousand years old."
Dugu Bo nodded, not finding anything wrong with Li Qing's choice.
There's no chance to start life over. When it comes to one's own life, one absolutely cannot show off. Even if Li Qing didn't say anything, he would have reminded him.
"Spirit Body Possession!"
As Dugu Bo's spirit power surged, his aura also swept out instantly. The startled Death Spirit Vultures let out bursts of cries, soaring into the sky and scattering in all directions.
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Time Freeze."
The moment Dugu Bo's eighth spirit ring lit up, time within a thousand-meter radius was instantly frozen. Everything, absolutely everything, was still in that second.
Including the many Death Spirit Vultures that had already flown into the air.
Immediately after, the trunk bone on Dugu Bo's body lit up. Condensed wings formed behind him. With a flap of his wings, he arrived in front of the Death Spirit Vulture that was around twenty-five thousand years old.
"Pfft!"
"Bang!"
Dugu Bo pierced the Death Spirit Vulture's eyes with his dragon claw, then heavily punched its head, and finally carried it back to Li Qing by its neck.
Time resumed.
Looking at the Death Spirit Vulture in Dugu Bo's hand that seemed a bit dead, Li Qing instantly fell silent.
He only saw Dugu Bo light up his spirit ring, and then the target Spirit Beast appeared in his hand. He didn't see what he actually did after lighting up the spirit ring at all.
One could only say it was indeed a time-type Spirit Ability.
Li Qing didn't delay. He directly took the Death Spirit Vulture from Dugu Bo's hand, cut off its neck with a knife, and then sat cross-legged to begin absorbing the spirit ring.
...
After Tang Yuehua handled Tang Hao's posthumous affairs, she carried her sadness and came to Nuoding City with the Spirit Saint sent by the family, going directly to Noding Academy.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
The gatekeeper saw that the two were dressed and carried themselves extraordinarily, and hurried forward to ask.
"We are looking for Tang San. Could you please help call him?"
As a court etiquette teacher, Tang Yuehua behaved very politely. Even though the other party was just an ordinary gatekeeper, she didn't show any disrespect.
"Please wait a moment, both of you!"
Although the gatekeeper was a bit puzzled as to why such people would come looking for Tang San, a work-study student, it wasn't his business. He turned around and ran into the academy.
After waiting for a moment, the gatekeeper brought Tang San, who was full of excitement, to the school gate.
"Who are you?"
Tang San looked at Tang Yuehua and the other person, who exuded an extraordinary aura from head to toe, with some confusion. Hearing the gatekeeper say someone was looking for him, he thought his father had come to see him.
But...
Seeing Tang San dressed in rags, Tang Yuehua's eyes instantly turned red. She subconsciously wanted to step forward and touch his face, but he stepped back and dodged her.
Only then did she remember that she hadn't introduced herself yet.
"Your name is Tang San, right? Then I'll call you Little San. Let me introduce myself, my name is Tang Yuehua, I am your aunt, and your father, Tang Hao, is my elder brother."
"Ah? Aunt?"
Tang San was a bit confused. It was really hard for him to imagine that his family, which had difficulty even getting enough to eat, actually had such an extraordinary-looking relative.
"How do you prove it?"
Although Tang San really hoped he had other relatives besides his father, he couldn't just acknowledge this suddenly appearing aunt based on her words alone.
Father never mentioned he had a younger sister.
Tang Yuehua looked sideways at the sturdy Spirit Saint beside her. The latter looked at Tang San and said, "My name is Tang Lu, I am your father's cousin, you should call me Uncle."
As he spoke, the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand, and seven spirit rings pulsed up and down on the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Holy crap..."
Seeing that the other person was actually a Spirit Saint, the two gatekeepers subconsciously blurted out a curse.
Tang San, a work-study student, actually had a Spirit Saint level uncle? Is this ridiculous or what? Compared to him, what were Xiao Chenyu and the others?
Tang San was also stunned. He also didn't expect that he actually had a Spirit Saint level uncle.
The other party's Spirit, apart from the color being slightly different from his, was otherwise no different, so there shouldn't be any major issue with their identity.
It's just, why did Father never mention that their family had these relatives?
