Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was very excited and quickly asked, "Yi'er, do you need some Whale Glue?"
This was a thousand-year first spirit ring; Yi'er did not have twin spirits, and no one had ever achieved a thousand-year first spirit ring.
"No need, Teacher, I know my body well. Keep the Whale Glue for others."
Xu Yiling didn't care for Whale Glue at all. He had the Hunting Beast Space, and as long as he worked hard enough, he could become invincible.
Seeing Bibi Dong's joyful expression, Xu Yiling gritted his teeth and said, "By the way, Teacher, I saw a book in the library called 'Ten Great Spirit Theories.' This book simply plagiarized content from other people's books, so I've already had someone remove it from the library."
Bibi Dong's face stiffened when she heard "Ten Great Spirit Theories," and a faint sadness appeared between her brows.
Xu Yiling thought he would be scolded, but to his surprise, Bibi Dong rubbed Xu Yiling's head and wasn't angry at all.
"Yi'er, did you hear something?"
"Yes."
Xu Yiling knew that to remove Yu Xiaogang from Bibi Dong's heart, he had to take drastic measures or make his own importance surpass Yu Xiaogang's.
"Actually, I know about this matter."
"Oh?"
Xu Yiling looked shocked.
Bibi Dong gave a bitter smile and continued, "Yu Xiaogang was, after all, the first person I had feelings for. Perhaps I was too young back then, too easily deceived. Later, I investigated and found out that Yu Xiaogang approached me only for Spirit Hall's knowledge."
"But then some things happened that made it seem like I could never escape from that relationship."
Xu Yiling knew very well what happened—it was the matter of the Secret Room Douluo.
Xu Yiling was also a bit speechless. Did Spirit Hall only cultivate spirit power in Holy Maidens in the past, and not other abilities? They were so easily deceived.
"However, I no longer have any feelings for him now."
"Really?"
Bibi Dong nodded, hugging Xu Yiling tightly, allowing Xu Yiling to enjoy another round of "face wash" service.
There was one more thing she didn't say: she had transferred that feeling to him, but this feeling was too taboo.
"Alright, let's not talk about these things anymore. This is a Spirit Bone given to you by the High Priest. It's an eighty-thousand-year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor left leg bone. Yi'er, your Spirit is clearly a strength-type Tool Spirit, and this Thousand Jun Ant Emperor is a strength-type Spirit Beast. This Spirit Bone is very suitable for you."
Bibi Dong took out a shining Spirit Bone.
(This book has no requirements for absorbing Spirit Bones, and external Spirit Bones are the same. In Douluo Dalu 2, one could absorb external Spirit Bones without absorbing spirit rings.)
Xu Yiling's gaze was drawn to the Spirit Bone. This was a precious Spirit Bone, and it was a strength-type Spirit Bone suitable for him.
Xu Yiling didn't say he absolutely needed a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone. He had the Hunting Beast Space, and perhaps he could find a way to increase the Spirit Bone's age. Even if not, he still had the Destruction God King's divine trial.
"Yi'er, after you absorb your first spirit ring, absorb this Spirit Bone."
"Okay."
Xu Yiling put the Spirit Bone into a spirit tool.
Ten days passed in a flash.
During these ten days, Xu Yiling hunted Spirit Beasts in the Hunting Beast Space every day.
And he discovered some special rules.
First, besides dying and leaving the space, one would also leave the Hunting Beast Space after staying there for eight hours.
Second, within the Hunting Beast Space, one could see others' favorability towards themselves. If the favorability reached 90 points, they would never betray, and could be brought into the Hunting Beast Space.
He could also obtain one-tenth of the effect of the light clusters they received.
Currently, the person Xu Yiling had the highest favorability with was his teacher, Bibi Dong, with a full 80 points of favorability.
This made Xu Yiling suddenly realize why his teacher's gaze towards him was so different at times—it wasn't the look of a teacher at a student, but the very passionate gaze of a woman at a man.
She was indeed an Evil Teacher who went after her disciple!
"Yi'er, let's go."
"Got it."
Xu Yiling brought his change of clothes and followed Bibi Dong into a carriage.
"Grandpa Ju, are you coming too?"
"Haha, of course, Little Yi."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was very fond of this little one, Xu Yiling, as he shared his hobby of Immortal Herbs.
Spirit City was not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, taking only four or five days to reach.
In the forest, towering ancient trees rose from the ground, scattered in an orderly fashion, their branches and leaves intertwined into a dense green sea. Whenever sunlight pierced through the trees, mottled shadows fell on the soil, like a painting where time stood still. The air was filled with the fragrance of earth and wild flowers, fresh yet subtly mysterious.
Streams babbled, their clear sounds accompanying the occasional chirping of birds, forming a symphony of nature. By the stream, Soft Bones Rabbits occasionally poked their heads out, vigilantly surveying their surroundings, then quickly disappeared into the dense depths of the forest, while the low growls of distant Spirit Beasts could occasionally be heard.
"Yi'er, what type of spirit ring do you want?"
Bibi Dong firmly believed that Xu Yiling could plan his Spirit well. This wasn't the first time he had done such a thing. When he was in Spirit Hall, he had helped many Spirit Masters who had just awakened their Spirits to plan their spirit rings, and the results were indeed very good.
Xu Yiling pondered seriously for a moment.
"My Spirit possesses ultimate strength and destructive power, so a strength-type Spirit Beast is the best. For example, Thousand Jun Ants, Titan Giant Apes, Dark Gold Terror Claw Bears, but these Spirit Beasts are too rare. Second-best options like Vigorous Vajra Bears or Diamond Mammoths would also work."
Listening to Xu Yiling's words, Bibi Dong and Yue Guan were both very satisfied. Yi'er (Little Yi) was indeed intelligent. A normal six-year-old child would not know so much.
"Then we'll do as you say."
The three walked through the Star Dou Great Forest. Bibi Dong walked beside Xu Yiling, her mental force scanning a radius of a thousand meters again and again.
The Star Dou Great Forest was divided into: Edge Zone → Outer Circle → Mixed Zone → Core Zone → Great Fierce Land.
Xu Yiling only needed a thousand-year Spirit Beast, which was sufficient in the Outer Circle, but the required Spirit Beasts were very rare, until they entered the Mixed Zone.
They only found Spirit Beasts like Vigorous Vajra Bears.
Bibi Dong was naturally unwilling; her student deserved the best.
"Teacher, perhaps the Vigorous Vajra Bear from earlier would have been fine. A full twelve hundred years is probably enough."
"It's alright, we'll search for three more days."
Bibi Dong shook her head.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed swiftly.
"Found it!"
"Supreme Pontiff, look at this bloody fur. This dark gold fur belongs to a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. It's still bloody, so it might have been left from a fight between this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear and another Spirit Beast. The blood is still warm, so it probably hasn't gone far."
Yue Guan was very excited.
"That's great, three days were not wasted."
Xu Yiling was also very happy. A Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, a top-tier Spirit Beast. It excelled in both offense and defense, a complete contradiction. Its body of dark gold fur possessed extremely strong defensive power, while its terrifying giant claws had terrifying offensive power
