Gu Yue returned to the hotel alone.
She had just entered the door when three figures appeared behind her.
"Master."
Di Tian's gaze was finally not fixed on Su Ming.
Although he was still brimming with killing intent, his target had changed.
"The origin of Tang Wulin's bloodline power is definitely not righteous; he cannot be allowed to live!"
"There is divine power on him. I cannot determine how much remains. Until we confirm the divine power within him is completely exhausted, we cannot openly break with him," Gu Yue said, looking at Bear Lord.
Bear Lord's eyes lit up.
"I'll handle it!"
He had been pent up for too long this period. Finally, he could take action. Although it wasn't dealing a fatal blow to the detestable Su Ming, it was enough.
Being able to vent was good enough.
Returning to the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, Su Ming called out to the light sphere.
"Light sphere, light sphere, time to develop talents."
"So waiting a few days meant waiting until after fighting those people," the light sphere said, puzzled.
Were those few noobs worth such attention?
Su Ming didn't explain.
"Project another image. Let's see if they have gained any insight."
"Oh!"
The light sphere was excited.
It felt like it was now standing on the high ground of intelligence, looking down on the two Spirit Masters from past time nodes.
It was posing questions; the other side had to answer.
Can't guess?
Aptitude too poor.
The fun of it all immersed him.
It had only been a day since he last traded moves across time with the two past Spirit Masters, and he was already itching to do it again.
Seeing the light sphere's appearance, Su Ming also curled his lip.
This bug had lost sight of itself.
"Su Ming, what should I do?"
"Just project the image directly. See how they react."
After waiting for about two and a half minutes, Su Ming did not feel any strength being borrowed.
"Are they that smart over there?" The light sphere was astonished.
They were completely on the most correct path, not deviating at all?
The light sphere felt the pressure increase, a feeling of meeting a worthy opponent.
"Don't move yet, I'm getting a feeling," Su Ming said.
His strength decreased by ten percent out of thin air.
After another minute, his strength decreased by another ten percent.
"Sealed for two and a half and three and a half minutes respectively. At least they found the right direction," Su Ming said.
The light sphere nodded, acknowledging the intelligence of the two past Spirit Masters.
Good, I, the light sphere, acknowledge your intelligence!
The light sphere turned to look at Su Ming.
"What next? Wait until tomorrow?"
"What are we waiting for tomorrow? Strike while the iron is hot, catch them off guard. You project over and directly initiate Borrowed Strength. Set the program for this projection to activate Borrowed Strength slowly. I'll borrow strength over immediately and see if they can figure it out."
The light sphere had an epiphany.
Indeed, that's how the question should be posed.
He and Su Ming coordinated to execute the Borrowed Strength Spirit Skill, then connected the two time nodes and condensed the projection.
This time, they waited about five minutes before the light sphere sensed its two projections disperse.
"They are that powerful?" The light sphere felt immense pressure.
This was truly meeting a worthy opponent.
Countering move for move.
"Su Ming!"
The light sphere turned its head, waiting for Su Ming's next instruction.
Su Ming was speechless. He bent his middle finger and knocked on the light sphere's head.
"The frequency is so high, their faith power isn't enough for you to keep projecting anyway. Besides, it's not suitable to keep posing questions now. We're running out of questions on our side. From now on, we can only see how they cooperate."
"Ah?"
Have the questions been answered?
And the other side got them all right?
"Our task these next few days is to keep borrowing strength from them, three or four times a day. Make them feel like they might be borrowed from even when going to the toilet, make them feel annoyed, and then think of a solution."
"Su Ming, that move is too mean," the light sphere said.
"Mean what? Do you want Spirit Soul armor or not? I'm borrowing strength so many times a day precisely because I want to forge more times, stabilize Spirit Refinement, and make you a few sets of Spirit Soul armor at the Spirit Refinement level?"
The light sphere quickly shut up, using water and fire elements—no, the water element was turned into ice—crossing ice and fire in front of itself to seal its mouth.
For the next few days, Su Ming carried out his plan.
He and the light sphere changed to projecting once every two days.
The Douluo 1 and Douluo 2 Su Ming cooperated very well, each time showing a bit of progress, working with the Douluo 3 Su Ming to fully develop the light sphere's talent.
And the Tianhai Alliance tournament also concluded.
Mu Ye found the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, personally driving that超规格 (super-spec) red-level mecha to take Su Ming away from Tianhai City to Tiandou City to lay low.
And just after Su Ming left, an inspector from the Spirit Transmission Pagoda Headquarters arrived in Tianhai City to investigate the reason for the collective significant improvement of Spirit Souls here.
News also came that the spirit guide train from Tianhai City to East Sea City had been attacked by terrorists midway.
Douluo 2.
Snow Devil Mountain.
Body Sect.
"I, Douluo 2 Su Ming, have finally also mastered Borrowed Strength."
In front of Su Ming was a circle of purple illusory Spirit Rings. This purple illusory Spirit Ring was being sealed by a spirit tool.
As long as the spirit tool's seal was removed, the illusory purple Spirit Ring inside would shatter, and the one-time Borrowed Strength Spirit Skill contained within would give him one chance to borrow strength.
"The light sphere's year is still low; the projected Spirit Ring is only a thousand years. When its year increases, this Level 5 sealing disk won't hold. If only I could find the God Sealing Platform, that would solve the problem once and for all," Su Ming thought to himself.
Although he thought this, he wasn't in particularly urgent need of the God Sealing Platform.
The treasures from the original auction, the God Sealing Platform, belonged to uncontrollable opportunities. Su Ming couldn't be sure where it would appear outside the original node. The easiest one to determine was probably the Soul Devouring Carving Knife, also known later as the Blade of Life.
During the auction, the Starlight Auction House claimed the Soul Devouring Carving Knife had failed to sell. many times at their auction, so the Soul Devouring Carving Knife was actually always at the Starlight Auction House.
"With the Trinity, the chances of obtaining Tianmeng and Electrolux greatly increase. Adding the Soul Devouring Carving Knife will further increase the chance of intercepting Electrolux."
Su Ming was now ten years and one and a half months old. He didn't know the exact age difference compared to Hu Yuhao, but he was sure that next year's Shrek Academy holiday was most likely the beginning of the plot.
Why?
Because the next Spirit Master Grand Tournament, held in Star Luo City, was in two years.
Su Ming looked at the sealing platform before him, gazing at the illusory purple Spirit Ring within.
He had put quite some effort into obtaining this purple Spirit Ring.
The light sphere projecting across time and space consumed faith power—not the light sphere's own faith power, but the Spirit Soul faith power from the corresponding time node.
To motivate the light sphere, Douluo 3 Su Ming had told it that both targets existed after the Spirit Transmission Pagoda's time, but in reality, both main bodies existed before the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.
Spirit Soul faith power was truly scarce.
Douluo 1 Su Ming took a risk, disseminating the Spirit Soul concept early. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's emphasis, plus Zhu Jiuyang and the Blacksmith Association's reforms, gave him a relatively stable channel for faith, barely allowing him to collect enough for the light sphere to project.
Douluo 2 Su Ming had to make changes locally.
Fortunately, the Body Sect he was in was very harmonious. He could very easily promote the Spirit Soul system within the Body Sect.
Spirit Souls don't have any particularly major use? And require great effort to persuade Spirit Beasts to sign contracts?
But what if Spirit Souls could be used for Spirit Refinement, and Spirit Refined metal could resonate with the Spirit Master, amplifying the Spirit Master from the Martial Soul's origin?
The Body Sect accepted it very quickly, directly adding the Spirit Soul system to the disciples' training, planning to have disciples acquire at least one Spirit Soul for a subsequent Spirit Ring.
They all had Body Martial Souls, more or less possessing talent for forging, and could inherit Su Ming's forging techniques.
Furthermore, Su Ming proposed using materials from Spirit Refinement to make spirit tools. Spirit tools made this way would integrate directly into the Spirit Master's body. If they didn't use traditional spirit cannon shells but instead used core formations that supplemented and amplified the Martial Soul, the effect of Spirit Refined metal would be even more terrifying.
After he proposed this idea, the Body Sect reformed again, directly writing learning spirit tools into the sect's disciple training strategy.
Just earlier, he proposed again.
He suggested sending some personnel from the Su family, bringing rare metal ore vein mining technology, to first search for rare metal ore veins in the Douluo Three Nations region with the Body Sect.
