Chapter 5: I'll take you to hunt for spirit rings
Notting Dean's face gradually darkened, but Yu Xiaogang seemed not to notice.
"I'll go see him first."
Watching Yu Xiaogang walk straight out of the room, Notting Dean remained silent for a long time.
He treated Yu Xiaogang as his own, but what about the other party?
He wasn't even willing to do something within his power; even a nursing home requires payment.
Damn it!
After sulking for a while, Notting Dean picked up a pen and paper and left a letter for Yu Xiaogang.
The general meaning was:
He had supported the other party for so many years, and his daughter-in-law was already dissatisfied; he hoped Yu Xiaogang wouldn't make things difficult for him.
Either come out to teach or leave Notting School.
Although the letter was expressed very subtly and indirectly, anyone who wasn't deliberately pretending to be confused could see the true meaning.
Only then did Notting Dean leave his room.
Yu Xiaogang went downstairs and came all the way to Dorm Seven, looking at Li Tian who was Cultivating on the bed.
He knocked on the door.
Li Tian opened his eyes, looked at Yu Xiaogang, and asked in confusion, "Teacher, who are you looking for?"
Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "I am not a teacher of the academy."
"…"
Li Tian was speechless; he had seen many people who liked to show off, but this was the first time he had seen someone actively seek him out just to show off.
"Alright, old man, who are you looking for?"
"…"
Yu Xiaogang was speechless; he might look a bit mature, but he wasn't old enough to be called an old man, right?
"You must be Li Tian, right?"
Yu Xiaogang had seen all the work-study students in the academy, and Li Tian was the only unfamiliar face.
Li Tian said, "That's me."
Yu Xiaogang said, "Let me introduce myself, everyone calls me Grandmaster."
Li Tian asked, "And then?"
Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched, thinking, why doesn't this kid follow the script?
I already said everyone calls me Grandmaster.
Shouldn't you be asking about my honors, or at least get up and bow to show respect?
Is he really that impolite?
Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment and felt that cutting straight to the point might be too abrupt.
So, he had a flash of inspiration and decided to help him solve the spirit ring problem first.
During this process, he could slowly reveal his talent to Li Tian.
Making him submit.
How could actively proposing to take him as a disciple be as satisfying as having the other party beg him to take him as a disciple?
"The academy has arranged for me to take you to hunt for a spirit ring."
Li Tian was greatly startled, and he abruptly stood up, as if he had heard something extremely terrifying.
Yu Xiaogang: "???"
What does this mean? I, a dignified Spirit Grandmaster, helping you hunt for a spirit ring, is that making you feel wronged?
Wronged?
This isn't about feeling wronged or not; it's about losing my life!
Li Tian hadn't forgotten.
Yu Xiaogang almost lost his life when he took Tang San to hunt for his first spirit ring.
He didn't have Tang San's strength.
What's wrong with the Director of Teaching Affairs? Didn't he say he would personally take him?
Why did it change to this scumbag?
Since the Director of Teaching Affairs agreed, there's no reason for him to go back on his word midway.
It must be this scumbag who actively requested it.
Seeing his good talent, he wants to take him as a disciple by using the opportunity of hunting for a spirit ring?
Damn, this is truly unbelievable.
Li Tian stood up and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I won't trouble you. Someone will help me hunt for a spirit ring."
What a joke.
He would rather be stuck at level ten forever than let this scumbag take him to hunt for a spirit ring.
Yu Xiaogang: "???"
Isn't this kid a commoner who just came out of the village? Who can help him hunt for a spirit ring?
People from Spirit Hall?
That's possible, after all, the first people to come into contact with him were Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall.
No.
If the Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall are willing to help him hunt for a spirit ring, they must want to trick him into joining Spirit Hall.
How can such a Genius be handed over to those mediocre people to teach?
Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, besides him, Grandmaster, who else is qualified to teach the other party?
If hunting for a spirit ring doesn't work, then let's try a different approach.
Yu Xiaogang asked, "Then, do you have any thoughts on your first spirit ring?"
"Or does the person helping you have any thoughts?"
"You can tell me, I am quite authoritative in this area, and I might be able to offer some corrections."
With a try-and-see attitude.
Li Tian told Yu Xiaogang about his Spirit's characteristics and asked for his advice.
"Perfect replication of a Tool Spirit?"
A storm surged in Yu Xiaogang's heart; he was truly shocked by Li Tian's Spirit characteristics.
He had never imagined.
There could be such a special Spirit in the world, even more outrageous than twin spirits.
His burning gaze made Li Tian's whole body prickle.
"Cough, cough!"
Seeing Li Tian take half a step back with a strange expression, Yu Xiaogang coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.
Gradually calming down, he couldn't help but frown deeply.
Because he really couldn't think of how to attach a spirit ring to bring out the advantages of his Spirit.
It was simply impossible.
The only approach he could think of was to specialize in one Dao, and rely on self-created Spirit Abilities for other forms.
But how could self-created Spirit Abilities be that simple?
If it was just a single form, self-created Spirit Abilities might still be worth trying hard for.
Multiple forms, where would he find that much energy?
He wanted to say he would go back and research it before giving an answer, but he was afraid the other party would look down on him.
After all, he prided himself on being a Grandmaster.
If he couldn't even answer this, what kind of Grandmaster would he be?
Would the other party still acknowledge him as a teacher?
Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said, "A person's energy is limited, and spirit ring slots are also limited."
"I suggest you specialize in one Dao."
"I have connections; I can take you to replicate the most top-tier Tool Spirit."
"As for other forms…"
"I will help you research self-created Spirit Abilities; this is the best method."
"No one can come up with a better approach than me."
Li Tian was speechless; he originally thought that even if Yu Xiaogang couldn't provide a perfect solution.
He should at least have some unique insights.
After all, the other party had read so many books in Spirit Hall; his knowledge must be incomparable to his own.
As it turned out, this guy's thinking was no different from his own.
Speaking of self-created Spirit Abilities, even if he were to seek a teacher, he should go to Chen Xin.
As for Yu Xiaogang…
It's still the same old saying, his strongest Domain is in Spirit Fusion Abilities.
Not other things.
After all, the protagonist group didn't have a single self-created Spirit Ability even after becoming Heavenly Gods.
"Thank you, I will consider it."
Li Tian had no interest in continuing to talk with him, because this guy's level really wasn't high.
The original work's depiction of these details was poor.
Even so, his thinking was still the same as Li Tian, who only had a partial understanding.
Isn't that enough to explain the problem?
Yu Xiaogang could tell that Li Tian was clearly not very satisfied with his plan.
However, he truly couldn't think of any other solutions in a short time.
"Alright, then you consider it. I will also go back and research the feasibility of other solutions."
"If you want to replicate a top-tier Tool Spirit, you can also come to me."
"My connections are beyond your imagination; even if you want to replicate a Titled Douluo's Spirit, I have a way."
Yu Xiaogang didn't say anything more.
If he couldn't produce an effective solution, saying more was meaningless; it would be better to go back and research.
If he could research a reliable solution, he wouldn't be afraid of Li Tian not being convinced.
Li Tian knew that he wasn't bragging, but he could also do it himself.
With his talent, no force could refuse him.
