Chapter 3: First Meeting with Yu Xiaogang
The second spirit, this reward is too generous.
There is also the permanent reward of using the false to cultivate the true, which is exactly what Qi Tian needs.
His innate soul power is only level 0.5. Even if he learns meditation, it is extremely difficult to improve his soul power through practice.
Bibi Dong was born with full soul power. If Qi Tian could use her body to practice, he might be able to improve three levels or even more in a year.
In six years, he also had the opportunity to cultivate to become a Great Soul Master, successfully graduate from the Junior Spirit Master Academy, and receive a subsidy of ten gold soul coins per month.
Ten gold soul coins are already considered financial freedom for Qi Tian's current spending habits.
If Qi Tian can complete the system's tasks, he will have the opportunity to obtain twin spirits and become the most powerful person in this Douluo Continent.
As for the two tasks, even if the system doesn't mention it, Qi Tian will find a way to do it.
He borrowed Bibi Dong's body to practice. He didn't want to be locked up in a secret room by Qian Xunji, nor did he want her to fall in love with Yu Xiaogang.
"Go quickly, why are you still standing there?" Bibi Dong urged.
Qi Tian discovered that Ling Yuan actually went upstairs to read, as if she was deliberately giving Bibi Dong some private space.
"Oh!" Qi Tian sighed and walked towards the corner where Yu Xiaogang was.
At this time, Yu Xiaogang was carefully looking through the books in the Spirit Hall, looking for a way to solve the mutation of his own spirit.
"No, how could there be no?"
"Even the Spirit Hall's collection of books doesn't record my situation. Does that mean I'll never be able to break through to level 29 in this lifetime?"
He is now twenty-three or twenty-four, which is the age to graduate from the Advanced Spirit Master Academy on the continent.
The graduation requirement for the Advanced Spirit Master Academy is generally to reach level 30 in soul power. In other words, he is not as good as the Spirit Masters of ordinary academies.
This was hard for Yu Xiaogang, who came from a noble family, to accept, so he went out to look for a solution.
The elders of the sect also expelled him from the sect on the grounds that he abused the sect's resources, so he had no choice but to leave the sect in disgrace.
Fortunately, the Spirit Hall took him in and gave him a place to stay.
"There are tens of thousands of Spirit Masters in the Spirit Hall. There must be someone who has encountered a Spirit Master in a similar predicament as me. There is no record of it in the books on this floor, but there must be one upstairs!"
"But as a Blue Lightning abandoned disciple, it's already difficult for me to join the Spirit Hall. I don't even have the qualifications to go upstairs to read books!"
Yu Xiaogang felt helpless and thought that the Spirit Hall was being too selfish.
He didn't even think about the fact that with the cultivation level of a twenty-ninth-level Great Soul Master, others in the Spirit Hall could only be a deacon in a small city branch.
The fact that he was able to stay in Spirit City was considered a special treatment given to him by the upper echelons.
After Yu Xiaogang finished reading a book, he raised his head and saw Bibi Dong's absolutely beautiful and flawless face.
"Bibi Dong, you're here!" Yu Xiaogang closed the book.
Qi Tian nodded: "Yes, I'm coming!"
Yu Xiaogang was a little puzzled. Why did Bibi Dong seem a little cold today? Wasn't she already impressed by his talent?
However, he wanted to read the books upstairs and still needed Bibi Dong's help, so he had to maintain their relationship.
"Bibi Dong, you suggested I become a spirit theory expert before. I recently compiled a set of spirit theories. Would you like to take a look?"
Before Qi Tian could answer, Bibi Dong urged him in his mind.
"He's truly talented. He's already compiled a theory so quickly! Bring it over and take a look!"
Qi Tian was speechless, nodded and said, "Okay!"
Yu Xiaogang was anxious. He felt that Bibi Dong's attitude had changed. Why was she so cold?
"Forget it, after she finishes reading my spirit theory, she will definitely be impressed by my talent!" Yu Xiaogang thought confidently.
He took out a small booklet and handed it to Qi Tian, saying, "My theory is called 'The Ten Core Competencies of the Spirit'."
"Although it still has some shortcomings, I dare say that no other spirit theory can surpass it!"
Qi Tian took the booklet and took a look. Sure enough, it was the same old story: "There are no useless spirits, only useless Spirit Masters!"
"Well said!" Bibi Dong cheered in Qi Tian's mind.
Qi Tian's face was filled with black lines. What's good about this?
Since he is occupying her body, he might as well use her body to bother Yu Xiaogang, so that Yu Xiaogang won't bother her in the future.
"Master, you said there are no useless spirits, only useless Spirit Masters! Excuse me, is your spirit a useless spirit?"
Yu Xiaogang was stunned, not understanding why Bibi Dong asked this. Also, she used to call me Yu Xiaogang, but now she calls me Master?
Is this because she is overwhelmed by my talent?
"Of course my spirit is not a useless spirit!" He didn't refute his own theory right away.
Qi Tian continued, "Then Master, you can't break through the twenty-ninth level. Are you a useless Spirit Master?"
Before Yu Xiaogang could answer, Bibi Dong started chattering in Qi Tian's mind.
"What are you doing? How can you call him useless? Give my body back to me!"
Qi Tian ignored her and looked at Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang frowned, "Bibi Dong, I can't break through the bottleneck of level 29 because of the malignant mutation of my spirit!"
"So, your spirit is useless?"
Yu Xiaogang was speechless. If he insisted on his theory, it would mean that he was a useless Spirit Master.
If he was a useless Spirit Master, then what was his theory? A useless theory?
Qi Tian looked at other theories again. Many of them were common sense nonsense, which were taught in the Spirit Master Academy.
For example, "the level of innate soul power is proportional to the strength of the spirit", "the theory of spirit mimicry", "the theory of soul ring limits", "the theory of spirit mutation", etc., a lot of nonsense.
This is why these books are placed on the first floor of the library. More in-depth stuff is placed upstairs.
Qi Tian only took a quick glance and said, "Your theories are probably all excerpted from the books on this floor, right?"
Yu Xiaogang's heart tightened, and he took back his theory of "Ten Core Competencies of Spirit", which had a 90% plagiarism rate.
"No, Bibi Dong, you misunderstood!" Yu Xiaogang denied.
Qi Tian picked up a book on his desk, which was a book describing the practice of spirit mimicry.
He pointed to the part where Yu Xiaogang's theory was similar and asked, "If this wasn't copied by you, could it be that our Spirit Hall copied it?"
Bibi Dong also saw where Qi Tian was pointing, and immediately fell silent, no longer arguing for Yu Xiaogang.
She seemed to realize her own lack of knowledge and Yu Xiaogang's deceptive behavior.
"Bibi Dong, you must have seen it wrong. How does this match my theory?"
Yu Xiaogang broke out in a cold sweat, not understanding why Bibi Dong had changed so much today. It was hard to fool her.
Seeing that Bibi Dong was about to speak again, he quickly put away the books and walked out of the library.
"Bibi Dong, I'm not feeling well today, so I won't be reading with you!"
