After watching the girls complete their practice, Shui Lanxin and her group decided to record their new Spirits and include them in the teaching archives for future research.
"Girls, come over here."
Shui Lanxin called the girls over and had them introduce the changes and characteristics brought by their respective new Spirits.
"Dean, good day, teachers."
Shui Bing'er and the others immediately ran over, chattering like orioles, and greeted the teachers.
"Introduce your Spirits and their characteristics. We need to record them, as your Spirits have changed. We need to understand them in detail so we can arrange spirit rings for you later."
Su Lin took out a pen and notebook and instructed the girls to introduce themselves.
"After my Slender Dance Snow Satin evolved into Mystic Ice Silk, it gained both offensive and supportive abilities..."
"I can now switch between control system and support system modes at any time."
Xue Wu prattled on, introducing the changes brought by her new Spirit, which greatly surprised Shui Lanxin and her group.
"Offense and support coexisting? Isn't that similar to Xiao Chen's Life Goddess?"
"Hehe! This way, Xue Wu alone can do the work of two people. Excellent, excellent."
Shui Lanxin and the others were delighted to learn about the changes brought by Xue Wu's new Spirit.
"My turn! My Mermaid martial soul..."
"Yue'er, what's the hurry? Your Spirit is the same as your mother's. Do you still need to say it?"
Shui Yue'er was prattling on about her Spirit, but before she could finish, Shui Lanyue pulled her aside.
"Hahaha...! Yue'er, don't pretend in front of the Vice Dean!" Yu Hairou and the others found it amusing to see Shui Yue'er pouting.
"Zhuqing, Yan Zi, Ling Ling, we'd like to record your new Spirits. Is that okay?" Shui Lanxin asked for the three girls' opinions, as their identities were a bit special.
"Dean, no problem. We are Tianshui Academy students now!"
The three girls introduced their Spirits one after another. Anyway, everyone was now with Ye Liangchen, so there was nothing to hide.
"Yu Liu's Spirit transformed into the Golden Crocodile Emperor, Hai Rou, Ruoshui, and Qingbo's Spirits transformed into Fish Dragons, Yue'er's Mermaid, Zhuqing's Flying Divine Cat, Yan Zi's Green Flood Dragon, and Ling Ling's Saint Heart Begonia. They all feel like super Spirits."
"Xiao Chen said before that Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Spirit might have reached the god-level. It seems to be pretty close."
"These girls will be formidable once they grow up."
Mu Qingxue, An Qi, and Su Lin looked at the girls' powerful Spirits and greatly admired that Xiao Jiahuo, Ye Liangchen. With just a small pill, he brought about earth-shattering changes to these girls.
"I heard that Spirit Hall has a Titled Douluo named Gold Crocodile Douluo, a level 98 Titled Douluo. His Spirit is the Golden Crocodile King. Now that Shen Yuliu's Spirit has evolved into the Golden Crocodile Emperor, isn't that even better?"
Just then, the old Dean, Shui Lingfeng, remembered the Gold Crocodile Douluo that Sword Douluo had mentioned back then, and she told everyone about him.
"Spirit Hall has a level 98 Gold Crocodile Douluo? Dean Grandma, is that true?"
Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others were stunned. A level 98 Titled Douluo, that's a super Douluo!
"It's true. I heard it from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Sword Douluo back then. That Gold Crocodile Douluo has lived for over 100 years, and his Spirit is called the Golden Crocodile King, a top-tier Beast Spirit comparable to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
"Yu Liu, you must work hard. Your Spirit is even better than Gold Crocodile Douluo's. I hope one day you can reach that height!"
Shui Lingfeng explained about Gold Crocodile Douluo to everyone and also encouraged Shen Yuliu, the Little girl.
"Dean Grandma, I will work hard."
Shen Yuliu was very shocked to hear that a strong person with the Golden Crocodile King Spirit had reached level 98 Titled Douluo, and she was also very much looking forward to achieving such an accomplishment herself in the future.
"Girls, Xiao Chen said before that all of you have a chance to cultivate to level 99 in the future. Although I don't know if that brat is bragging, he helped evolve everyone's Spirits into super Spirits, giving you powerful talent and a strong foundation. So, work hard and fight for it, understand?"
Shui Lanxin said some encouraging words to the girls and then thought of Xiao Jiahuo's miraculous actions over the years; he almost always did what he said. These girls really might reach the Limit Douluo level in the future.
"Dean, don't worry! We will definitely work hard, otherwise, we would be letting Xiao Chen Didi down."
Shui Bing'er and the others waved their fists and shouted loudly, full of powerful fighting Spirit.
After Shui Lingfeng, the old Dean, took the Good Fortune Pill, her Ice Phoenix Spirit also awakened its Domain, just like Shui Lanxin, and her spirit power also rose to level 94. As for Su Lin, her Dolphin Spirit also evolved into a Mermaid, just like Shui Lanyue.
Now, Shui Lanyue and Su Lin's spirit power had both risen to level 90. Shui Lingfeng and Shui Lanxin were preparing to help the two women obtain their ninth spirit ring. So, they planned to take Shui Bing'er and the other girls to Vast Sea City in the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom in a few days to obtain spirit rings in the ocean.
"In a few days, we will depart for Vast Sea City to help you obtain your fourth spirit ring, and also Su Lin and Lan Yue, who need to obtain their ninth spirit ring to advance to Titled Douluo."
"As for Zhuqing's fourth spirit ring, we'll let Xiao Chen arrange it. That Xiao Jiahuo can hunt Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beasts alone, so getting Zhuqing's fourth spirit ring is no problem at all. Moreover, Xiao Jiahuo's eye for finding Spirit Beasts is even better than ours. Zhuqing's 2000-year Ghost Leopard spirit ring was also obtained with his help, and she even got an external Spirit Bone."
Shui Lingfeng, as the old Dean of Tianshui Academy, directly arranged these future tasks.
When Zhu Zhuqing heard that the old Dean had arranged for her and Ye Liangchen to go out alone, she was very excited and almost shouted "Long live Dean Grandma!" but she hid it well and did not show it.
"Can't Zhuqing Meimei come with us?"
Shui Yue'er mumbled softly. She was worried that something might happen between Xiao Maomi and Ye Liangchen going out alone, as this big-chested girl really liked her Xiao Jiahuo.
"Don't let your imagination run wild all day. Be serious."
Shui Bing'er looked at her sister's mischievous expression and knew what kind of strange thoughts were going through her head.
"Yue'er, Zhuqing's spirit ring is easier to obtain by searching in the Star Dou Forest or Sunset Forest. It's difficult to find one suitable for her in the ocean."
"If she comes with us to the ocean, and we can't find a suitable one, we'll have to go to the Star Dou Forest anyway. Going back and forth would waste a lot of time for everyone. It will be faster if Xiao Chen takes her to get her fourth ring."
Shui Lanxin immediately saw through Shui Yue'er's little thoughts and advised her not to overthink it.
Zhu Zhuqing had now joined Ye Liangchen's camp; they were all on the same side. Xiao Maomi escaped from the Star Luo Empire and, after meeting her brat, immediately followed him. As an elder, Shui Lanxin naturally had to facilitate them. Anyway, this girl had already grown up and would also be a Titled Douluo expert in the future. It was impossible to let her leave their camp. Zhu Zhuqing's presence would greatly help Xiao Jiahuo in unifying the Star Luo Empire in the future.
"Haha...! Yue'er is jealous."
Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others burst into laughter.
"Hehe...! Jealous? No such thing."
Shui Yue'er chuckled. She and that guy lived together long-term, and as the saying goes, 'the nearest water gets the moon first.' Last night, she almost cultivated with Xiao Chen Didi. Do I still need to be jealous?
"Dean, can we come with you? We've never seen the ocean before, having grown up here." Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling asked Shui Lanxin.
"Of course, you can! Everyone still needs Ling Ling's Saint Heart Begonia for support. With Ling Ling around, everyone can be as reckless as they want."
Now everyone was a team. Shui Lanxin naturally had to arrange for the girls to act together. If Zhu Zhuqing didn't need to obtain her fourth spirit ring, she would also have her join them.
"Alright, that's it! Everyone, disperse."
After Shui Lingfeng finished speaking, she left the school and headed towards Mingyue Mountain Villa, preparing to discuss the construction of Tenglong Pavilion with Dugu Bo and Ye Suling. As for helping the three young members of the Ye family obtain their third spirit ring, Shui Lingfeng had already sent two Spirit Saints from the City Lord's Mansion to take them to the Star Dou Forest.
...
In Jingxian Manor, Ye Liangchen cultivated for a morning. After a simple meal, he began to copy down the Five Elements Divine Fist manual and the first two chapters of the Hun Yuan Art. As for the third chapter, there was no need to pass it down; that was his exclusive chapter.
After several hours of work, he finally finished copying. Ye Liangchen began to prepare dinner, waiting for Shui Bing'er and the others to return for their meal.
Looking at himself wearing an apron and holding a knife to cut vegetables, Ye Liangchen couldn't help but smile, feeling like a good family man preparing dinner, waiting for his wife to come home from work to enjoy it.
More than an hour later, a sumptuous dinner was ready: six dishes and one soup, all excellent in color, aroma, and taste.
"Wow! Xiao Chen, your cooking smells so good!"
Just then, the Shui Lanxin Sisters walked in hand in hand from outside.
"Sisters, hurry and wash your hands, dinner is ready."
Seeing the two girls return, Ye Liangchen quickly greeted them, preparing to eat.
"Thank you, Xiao Chen, for making us such a delicious dinner."
Shui Bing'er leaned over and kissed Ye Liangchen on the cheek, feeling very sweet.
"Sis, how did you get ahead of me? Aren't you supposed to be cool and aloof?"
Shui Yue'er glanced at her sister with a strange expression, then directly kissed the guy on the mouth.
"Yue'er, I'm the older sister, so of course, I go first. Why would I pretend to be aloof at home?"
Shui Bing'er glanced at her sister, thinking, why do we sisters need to distinguish who goes first? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.
Ye Liangchen had been accustomed to being kissed by beautiful women since he was a child, so he didn't feel anything now; his heart was very calm.
"Xiao Chen Didi, in a few days, we're going to Vast Sea City in Häagen-Dazs to obtain our fourth spirit ring in the ocean."
"Grandma wants you to take Zhuqing Meimei to the Spirit Beast forest to help her obtain her fourth spirit ring. Don't let anything happen between you two!"
The two girls talked to Ye Liangchen about the upcoming events while eating. When Shui Yue'er mentioned Zhu Zhuqing, she specifically warned him not to cause trouble.
"I don't think Bing'er Jie needs to go to the ocean to obtain her fourth spirit ring. I once encountered a 12,000-year Ice Evil Emperor Lizard in the Sunset Forest. At that time, I was collecting herbs in the valley, and that Spirit Beast even chased me. I didn't pay attention to it then because I was looking for herbs, so I just flew away."
"Zhuqing's fourth spirit ring can be easily found in the Sunset Forest. Ghost Tiger, Splitting Sky Tiger, Swordtooth Tiger are all possibilities. I've encountered several around 5,000 years, including a Splitting Sky Tiger that was 13,000 years old, but she probably can't absorb that."
Ye Liangchen recalled those days collecting herbs with Blue Silver Emperor in the Sunset Forest, encountering many powerful Spirit Beasts. It was both thrilling and exciting. Fortunately, he had flying skills at that time, which allowed him to avoid those powerful Spirit Beasts.
"A 12,000-year Ice Evil Emperor Lizard? Xiao Chen Didi, are you serious?"
Shui Bing'er had seen in the Spirit Beast Encyclopedia that the Ice Evil Emperor Lizard was a powerful and rare Spirit Beast, very suitable for her. She didn't expect that Xiao Jiahuo had actually encountered one in the Sunset Forest.
"Bing'er Jie, it's true. If you want to challenge a Ten-Thousand Year fourth ring, that Ten-Thousand Year Ice Evil Emperor Lizard is very suitable for you."
Ye Liangchen felt that Shui Bing'er should be able to absorb the spirit ring of that Ice Evil Emperor Lizard. To be honest, encountering that Ten-Thousand Year Ice Evil Emperor Lizard at that time was quite unexpected.
"Xiao Chen, are there any Spirit Beasts suitable for me in the Sunset Forest?" Shui Yue'er also wanted to go out with this guy.
"Yue'er Jie, your Spirit has evolved into a Mermaid, so you naturally have to search in the ocean. There are plenty of suitable Mermaid Spirits in the ocean; there's no need to slowly search in the Sunset Forest."
Ye Liangchen immediately saw that this girl was just playful, so he reminded her that as a Spirit Master, cultivation was the most important thing.
"Yue'er, Xiao Chen is right. If you come with us to the Sunset Forest and can't find a suitable one, it will take more time." Shui Bing'er also said a few words beside them, telling her not to be too willful.
"Okay! I'll listen to you."
Shui Bing'er had spoken, and as the younger sister, Shui Yue'er naturally had to obey.
After dinner, Shui Bing'er took the two to her mother's residence and told her about the Ice Evil Emperor Lizard.
"Since Xiao Chen found a Ten-Thousand Year Ice Evil Emperor Lizard, then Bing'er and Zhuqing should go to the Sunset Forest!"
The Shui Lanxin Sisters were worrying about Shui Bing'er's fourth spirit ring, and they didn't expect to get a clue so quickly.
"Xiao Chen, for Zhuqing's fourth spirit ring, what Spirit Beast do you plan to help her find?" Shui Lanxin asked Ye Liangchen.
"Ghost Tiger, Splitting Sky Tiger, Swordtooth Tiger, Netherworld Wolf, etc., any of them would work. I'll ask Senior Dugu later; he used to live in the Sunset Forest often and knows more about the Spirit Beast situation there."
"Then you decide. Aunt Lan trusts your judgment."
Seeing Ye Liangchen's confident demeanor, the Shui Lanxin Sisters were not worried at all.
"Bing'er, a 12,000-year Ice Evil Emperor Lizard is also a huge challenge for you. You must have courage; only success, no failure." Shui Lanxin looked at her daughter and said some encouraging words.
"Mother, trust me. Xiao Chen's fourth spirit ring can absorb 23,000 years, and I'm only absorbing 12,000 years. I will definitely succeed."
Shui Bing'er was a determined person and was very confident about the challenge of a Ten-Thousand Year fourth ring. Moreover, she trusted Ye Liangchen; if he said it would work, then it definitely would.
Ye Liangchen wasn't worried at all. Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had been given a boost with pills when they were young, and coupled with cultivating the Five Elements Divine Fist and Hun Yuan Art for so many years, a mere Ten-Thousand Year spirit ring was no big deal.
In fact, the other members of the Tianshui Girl Group all had the potential to absorb a Ten-Thousand Year fourth ring. After their Spirits evolved, their physical qualities had already undergone earth-shattering changes. It was just a matter of whether they had the courage to give it a try.
Previously, Ye Liangchen only suggested that these girls absorb an 8,000-year spirit ring for their fourth ring, which was the most conservative estimate. Now that these girls had also absorbed a 50,000-year Spirit Bone, if they really wanted to challenge a Ten-Thousand Year fourth ring, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Xiao Chen, do you think Yue'er, Xue Wu, and the others can challenge a Ten-Thousand Year fourth ring?"
Shui Lanxin asked Ye Liangchen, as Xiao Jiahuo had already broken various records since the first ring and was experienced in this area.
"Aunt Lan, everyone has cultivated the Five Elements Divine Fist for so many years, so their physical qualities are not a problem. The key is whether they are brave enough. As long as they can pass the soul shock caused by the Ten-Thousand Year spirit ring, it shouldn't be an issue."
Ye Liangchen presented his view, and the Shui Lanxin Sisters' eyes lit up, feeling hopeful. Shui Lanyue even encouraged her daughter.
"Good! Then let's try it. Yue'er, challenge a Ten-Thousand Year fourth ring. Then you'll have more face standing next to Xiao Chen."
"Mother, don't worry! If my sister can do it, I can too." Shui Yue'er waved her fist, deciding to take on the challenge. If her sister could do it, she couldn't fall behind.
