"According to my investigations over the years, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan has a forbidden area where thunder rages all year round. It is also the training ground for the direct disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan. The sect leader, Yu Yuanzhen, even spends years in seclusion there," said Bibi Dong.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a Thundering Hell Vine that's over ten thousand years old. However, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan guards it very strictly, so it will be very difficult to enter and obtain the Thundering Hell Vine."
Xuan Ming looked at Bibi Dong and asked, "Why are you investigating their sect's forbidden area?"
"Don't worry about it. Just tell me whether you want it or not." Bibi Dong said.
"If you want, I don't have anything to do recently, so I can take you there."
"You've caused such a big incident today. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, it's time for me to express my stance and win over the people."
Xuan Ming thought for a moment, "Let's ask around. If there's nothing, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"
"Inquire?" Bibi Dong was stunned.
"This is someone else's sect's forbidden area. Who can I ask?"
"you guess?"
"…"
…
Shrek Academy.
"The forbidden area of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan? Will he tell me?"
After leaving the Spirit Temple, Xuan Ming came back here directly and told Arou about the situation.
The matter at the auction house has become a big deal. Soon, people from the seven major families will send people over. The Tiandou royal family will definitely send Prince Xue Qinghe to come forward. He has no interest in talking nonsense with these people.
Find out the situation from Yu Xiaogang as soon as possible. If there really is a Thundering Hell Vine in the forbidden area of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, Bibi Dong can make preparations early.
If not, he would have to ask Arou to take him to the Star Dou Great Forest to look for it.
"You try it first, if he doesn't say anything." Xuan Ming paused.
"I have to play the role of a hermit."
Spatial attribute, this ability allows him to hide the two dragons on his back and disguise his identity.
If he couldn't get any information out of Yu Xiaogang by provoking him, he would have to resort to violence.
"Then why don't you just play the role of a hermit master?" Ning Rongrong said.
"I don't think he's a tough guy. He'll definitely tell me if I scare him."
"That will happen tonight." Xuan Ming said.
"You guys go and try it first. If it works, that's great. If not, I'll try again tonight."
"Okay." Ning Rongrong nodded.
Yu Xiaogang is a very vain person. As long as we start by satisfying his vanity, we should be able to induce him to take the initiative to tell us the relevant situation.
…
Nearing dusk, at the training ground in the back mountain.
Although Tiandou City is currently in turmoil because of what happened at the auction house, it has no impact on Shrek Academy. Those things are not their concern.
After returning to the academy, Flanders told Tang San the suggestions given by Xuan Ming and asked him if he could help prepare some medicines. Tang San naturally agreed. He also knew a lot of prescriptions for nourishing yin, reducing fire, and harmonizing yin and yang.
If Ma Hongjun could stop thinking about those things all day, the conflicts between him and Xiao Wu and the others would be reduced.
He really couldn't stand the team quarreling all the time, and he was caught in a dilemma on both sides.
On one side are Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing led by Xiao Wu, and on the other side are the masters supporting Dai Mubai.
It's hard for him to help anyone.
"Okay, starting tomorrow, I will be responsible for Ma Hongjun's training." Flanders said.
"Of course, if you're interested, you can come along."
"…"
No one answered. The training plan Flanders just mentioned was even more terrifying than the one the master had used in Soto City!
The kind that really squeezes people dry!
"Flanders, I think it would be more appropriate for Qin Ming to be in charge of Ma Hongjun's training plan." Yu Xiaogang said.
"Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix martial spirit is of fire attribute, as is Qin Ming's Fiery Wolf. He can also sense the changes in Ma Hongjun's flames more clearly."
"This..." Flanders looked at Qin Ming. This training plan requires keeping an eye on Ma Hongjun almost around the clock!
After all, he knew very well that although Ma Hongjun agreed readily, he was too lazy to stick to it without someone hitting him with a stick.
Ma Hongjun was his direct disciple, so it was only natural for him to pay more attention to him, but if he bothered Qin Ming...
"Dean Flanders, the master is right. I am indeed more suitable. Besides, as the dean, you have so many things to deal with every day. It is really inappropriate to stare at him like this." Qin Ming said.
Flanders thought for a moment and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."
"Then what's next... cough cough!" Yu Xiaogang coughed heavily twice.
"It's meeting time now, Xiao Wu, both of you should be quiet."
"Isn't the purpose of a meeting to speak freely?" Ning Rongrong said.
"Besides, we are not talking about gossip, we are talking about business."
"Business?" Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly.
"What's the matter?"
"I remember Master said before that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit, with its powerful dragon-like body and ability to control lightning, won the title of the world's number one beast spirit." Ning Rongrong said.
"In the previous soul battle in Soto City, we also witnessed the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex soul master. At that time, only Yu Tianheng could fight Xuan Ming head-on on the soul battle stage. As for the others..."
Ning Rongrong glanced meaningfully at the silent Dai Mubai.
"You!" Dai Mubai's eyes turned cold and he clenched his fists.
"Rongrong, what do you want to say?" Liu Erlong asked.
"After the soul battle at the Soto Soul Fighting Arena, Brother Xuan Ming said that even a strong attack-type combat soul master with extremely strong explosive power would find it difficult to break free in a short period of time with Xiao San's third soul skill. He would need the assistance of teammates. If a quick attack-type or auxiliary-type soul master was trapped, it would be impossible for him to break free on his own." Ning Rongrong said.
"But if there are teammates, they can still be rescued. But what if the Blue Silver Cage is both controlling and offensive?"
"Everyone, imagine what it would be like to be entangled by electrified Blue Silver Grass?"
Everyone was stunned, and their expressions changed to some extent.
"It's hard to say about other things, but the auxiliary soul masters are definitely finished!" Ning Rongrong said.
"So, I'm wondering, is it possible for Xiao San's fourth spirit ring to be a spirit beast spirit ring with powerful lightning control capabilities?"
"So, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is not just a simple control system, but like Dugu Yan's Green Phosphorus Snake King Poison, it has powerful offensive capabilities while controlling at the same time?"
Tang San's eyes lit up slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Rongrong's idea is quite novel. If we can really make the Blue Silver Grass perform lightning attacks while controlling it, it will undoubtedly play a huge role in battle. However, finding a spirit beast with strong lightning control ability and suitable for my fourth spirit ring may not be easy."
"Yes, there are not many soul beasts with powerful lightning attributes, let alone those with plant-type martial souls like Xiao San." Ning Rongrong said.
"It would be great if there was a plant-type soul beast that already possessed powerful lightning abilities."
"A plant soul beast with lightning attributes?" Zhu Zhuqing looked puzzled.
"Is there such a soul beast?"
"Xiao San, do you know?"
Tang San shook his head, "I haven't heard of it either."
"The power of thunder is the most violent form of natural energy. Those who can bear the power of thunder are generally predatory soul beasts with powerful bloodlines. This plant soul beast..."
"Yes." Yu Xiaogang said lightly.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Yu Xiaogang.
"Really?" Oscar looked confused.
"Of course." Yu Xiaogang said calmly.
"However, this soul beast is extremely rare. In a sense, it is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex among plant-type soul beasts!"
"So powerful? What kind of soul beast is that?" Flanders couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Gang, don't keep me in suspense. This might be Xiao San's choice for his fourth spirit ring."
"Yes, teacher, I have never heard you talk about this kind of soul beast before." Tang San said.
Yu Xiaogang's expression was somewhat unnatural. "This king of plant soul beasts that controls the power of thunder and lightning is called the Thundering Hell Vine. It is extremely dangerous, and the difficulty of absorbing it is probably far greater than the soul ring of the Subterranean Demon Spider you absorbed before."
"As far as I know, no one has ever successfully absorbed the spirit ring of the Thundering Hell Vine."
"So, I have been hesitating whether to tell you this."
"Teacher Qin Ming, have you heard of this kind of soul beast?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Qin Ming shook his head.
"This is the first time I've heard of it, too."
"Teacher Erlong, what about you?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Liu Erlong shook her head and said, "I've never heard of it."
"Even Teacher Erlong hasn't heard of it. Such a rare soul beast, I'm afraid it's impossible to find it at all?" Xiao Wu said.
"Maybe they are all extinct." Zhu Zhuqing said.
"Many species of soul beasts have become extinct in Douluo Continent over the years."
"Not only that, even Teacher Erlong hasn't heard of it. I feel that whether this Thundering Hell Vine exists or not is another matter." Ning Rongrong curled her lips.
"Maybe it was made up by someone..."
Hearing this, everyone looked a little unnatural.
Obviously, they all had this idea.
After all, among so many people present, Grandmaster was the only one who knew about it, and he hadn't even told Tang San.
It is very likely that it was made up on the spot just to brag!
Being stared at with suspicion by everyone, Yu Xiaogang frowned, "The Thundering Hell Vine really exists. Moreover, I personally saw a Thundering Hell Vine that was over ten thousand years old many years ago!"
"You're bragging again..." Ning Rongrong leaned on Xiao Wu's shoulder, looking like she was watching a show.
"Rongrong, the master wouldn't make up something like this casually." Xiao Wu said.
"It's normal that Teacher Erlong and the others haven't heard of such a rare soul beast."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Ning Rongrong curled her lips.
"However, it's useless to know about a soul beast that can't be found and is very likely to be extinct."
"I know where the Thundering Hell Vine is." Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice.
"Master, you don't mean in the Star Dou Great Forest, do you?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
"When did you go into the Xingdou Great Forest alone? It's such a dangerous place, with ten thousand year old spirit beasts around. How could you go there alone?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned and ignored Ning Rongrong.
"Xiao San, the Thundering Hell Vine is extremely dangerous. However, if you really want to obtain its spirit ring, I can take you there in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong and the other two exchanged glances, and smiles appeared on their lips.
They had seen it many years ago, more than ten thousand years ago, but Flender and Liu Erlong didn't know about it. It's not the Star Dou Great Forest, so they are still confident that they can take Tang San to find it.
Where else could this be?
