After returning to the hotel, Teacher Wang gathered everyone in the conference room.
"How do you feel after watching the match between Qian Ling Academy and Zhengtian Academy?" he asked, looking at Bei Bei and the other reserve team members.
"Against Qian Ling Academy, Xu Sanshi and I should be able to guarantee victory without needing to deploy Ziyang and the others!" Bei Bei said, "Whether it's individual combat, cooperative combat, or team combat."
Bei Bei's words were firm, and a confident smile appeared on his face. This declaration surprised those who didn't know the inside story. Zhu Ziyang looked at Bei Bei's determined eyes, vaguely guessing the source of his confidence.
"However, against Zhengtian Academy, Bei Bei and I can't guarantee it. We'd need at least one main team member's help," Xu Sanshi immediately followed up.
"Tell me, why?" Teacher Wang's face showed surprise and unexpectedness. He hadn't thought that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi still had something hidden, so he immediately wanted to know their hidden abilities.
"Hmm!" Bei Bei mused, then said, "Actually, Ziyang and Nannan should know that after they both entered the Inner Courtyard, Xu Sanshi and I were internally designated by Dean Yan Shaozhe as the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils, and will be Ziyang and Nannan's teammates for the next tournament."
"I know!" Zhu Ziyang nodded.
Teacher Wang was very surprised, then immediately felt a hint of pleasant surprise. To be directly designated by Dean Yan Shaozhe as the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils meant that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi possessed abilities that even Yan Shaozhe highly valued. He looked expectant and smiled, saying, "Then you must have been designated by Dean Yan as the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils because of some special ability, right?"
"That's right, the reason Bei Bei and I were designated by Dean Yan as the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils is because we both possess the power of bloodline," Xu Sanshi said.
"Power of bloodline? What kind of ability is that?" Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao showed confused expressions. It was their first time hearing about such an ability.
"This is related to the origin of Spirits, and it's hard to explain clearly right now. You just need to know that the power of bloodline can strengthen a Spirit, or even evolve a Spirit," Teacher Wang said, his interest growing stronger, "Sanshi, please continue."
"Okay, Ziyang and Nannan know that my Spirit was previously the Profound Tortoise Shell Shield, but now it is the Black Tortoise Shield. This is because I awakened the divine beast Black Tortoise bloodline within me through a family secret art, which caused my Spirit to evolve from a Tortoise Shell Shield to a Black Tortoise Shield," Xu Sanshi said.
"Divine Beast Black Tortoise!" Teacher Wang and Ma Xiaotao both exclaimed in surprise, "You are a descendant of the Dark Tortoise Sect?"
"Yes!" Xu Sanshi nodded, then continued, "My power of bloodline is the most concentrated in the history of the Dark Tortoise Sect. With my current strength, after fully activating my Black Tortoise bloodline, I should be comparable to a newly advanced Spirit King. And once my strength reaches the Spirit Saint level of seven rings, my Spirit will completely evolve into the super Beast Spirit Black Tortoise. It is for this reason that Dean Yan chose me as one of the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils!"
"Evolving into a Black Tortoise Spirit after seven rings!" Teacher Wang couldn't help but take a few steps forward, looking at Xu Sanshi with burning eyes and saying, "The Black Tortoise Spirit, one of the legendary divine Beast Spirits, possesses water element control comparable to Ultimate Ice and ultimate defense. Its growth potential is even above Elder Xuan's. No wonder Dean Yan chose him as one of the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils!"
"Teacher Wang, is Senior Brother Xu's Black Tortoise bloodline really that strong?" Wang Dong asked, a little confused.
"Indeed!" Teacher Wang nodded and said, "You all know Elder Xuan, do you know his Spirit?"
"Uh?" Wang Dong was stunned, then vaguely said, "It seems like, what divine ox was it?"
"It's the Gourmand Divine Cow!" Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at Wang Dong and said.
"That's right, Elder Xuan's Spirit is the Gourmand Divine Cow, possessing the bloodline of the divine beast Gluttonous. " Teacher Wang said, "The Gluttonous, like the Black Tortoise, is a divine beast from the ancient era of the Douluo Continent. Compared to Xu Sanshi, who has the opportunity to evolve into a true Black Tortoise Spirit, Elder Xuan was not so fortunate. His Spirit was the Gourmand Divine Cow from birth, and unless he encountered an extraordinary stroke of luck, it would be impossible for it to evolve into a true Gluttonous. Yet, even so, Elder Xuan still became a Rank 98 Super Douluo, and even has the chance to become a Rank 99 Limit Douluo! Now do you understand what Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Spirit signifies?"
"Teacher Wang, are you saying that Senior Brother Xu could become a Rank 99 Limit Douluo in the future? Oh my goodness!" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but open her mouth wide, her surprise evident.
"That's right, as long as he doesn't fall, it's inevitable!" Teacher Wang nodded, then said with emotion, "Speaking of which, many among us have the potential to become Limit Douluo.
Ziyang with his dual ultimate Spirits, Xiaotao with her Ultimate Fire, and Yu Hao with his Ultimate Ice are all destined to become Limit Douluo. Nannan, who possesses the Taiyin Jade Rabbit Spirit, and Xu Sanshi, with his Black Tortoise bloodline, also have an eighty percent chance of reaching that realm. I must have accumulated blessings for a hundred lifetimes to witness the rise of you peerless geniuses in my lifetime!
Bei Bei, you were chosen along with Xu Sanshi to be one of the next generation of Shrek Seven Devils. I imagine the power of bloodline you possess is also quite impressive, isn't it?"
"Indeed!" Bei Bei nodded in reply, "I possess the Light Holy Dragon bloodline. After activating my bloodline, my strength can also rival a newly advanced Spirit King. Similarly, once I reach seven rings of cultivation, my Spirit will evolve into the Light Holy Dragon."
"Light Holy Dragon!" Teacher Wang was stunned, repeatedly saying, "No wonder! No wonder! So that's how it is!"
Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan also looked at Bei Bei, then at Zhu Ziyang, their gazes questioning. After seeing Zhu Ziyang nod, both women suddenly understood.
"With the Light Holy Dragon Spirit, Bei Bei also has a great, no, a certain chance of becoming a Rank 99 Limit Douluo!" Teacher Wang said.
"Teacher Wang, if you put it that way, wouldn't we be quite embarrassed!" Tang Ya said to Teacher Wang with a helpless expression.
"Exactly! Exactly!" Wang Dong said with a look of defiance, "Why can't I, Sister Xiaoya, Xiao Xiao, and Senior Brother Caitou become Limit Douluo?"
"Although I don't want to dampen your confidence, I must tell you that there is an insurmountable chasm between Rank 98 and Rank 99. This chasm separates nearly ninety-nine percent of Super Douluo. To cross this chasm, besides obtaining heaven-defying fortune, one can only rely on their Spirit," Teacher Wang said with a serious expression, "And all the Limit Douluo who have appeared in the history of the continent, without exception, all possessed powerful Spirits that could be called Super Spirits! Therefore, a consensus has been reached on the continent: only the most top-tier Spirits can become Limit Douluo!"
"Isn't this just a theory based on bloodline?" Tang Ya said, "If that's the case, then aren't we Spirit Masters just like Spirit Beasts?"
"Although it doesn't sound glorious, it's a hard fact!" Ma Xiaotao said, "Xiaoya, you're from the Tang Sect, don't you understand the role of Spirits?"
"This... alright, it's true!" Tang Ya sighed at the words, then looked helplessly at Bei Bei and said, "Bei Bei, when you become a Limit Douluo, you absolutely cannot forget the Tang Sect!"
"Xiaoya, you really are..." Bei Bei smiled helplessly, "I'm the senior disciple of the Tang Sect, and besides, what Teacher Wang said isn't absolute. Theoretically, everyone has a chance to become a Limit Douluo!"
"Hehe! You also said 'theoretically'!" Tang Ya said.
"Teacher Wang, isn't my Goddess of Light Butterfly also very powerful and rare? Why don't I have a chance to break through to Limit Douluo?" Wang Dong still looked defiant, he said.
"While your Goddess of Light Butterfly is rare, it's still quite a distance from being a true Super Spirit," Teacher Wang shook his head and said.
"Then, the Clear Sky Hammer is a Super Spirit, right?" Wang Dong's face still showed defiance. His eyes darted around, and he blurted out.
"The Clear Sky Hammer is certainly a Super Spirit. After all, in the history of the continent, there has been more than one Clear Sky Douluo, and they were all Limit Douluo," Teacher Wang explained, completely unaware that something was amiss.
"Wang Dong, asking that, could it be that you..." Ma Xiaotao keenly sensed something and asked.
"Hehe! That's right, I'm from the Clear Sky Sect!" Wang Dong proudly raised his head, like a victorious swan, and said.
"You're from the Clear Sky Sect?" Tang Ya was stunned, and unpleasant memories flooded her mind.
"Uh, well, Teacher Xiaoya, that deacon who refused to help the Tang Sect has already been dealt with by the Sect, and I've joined the Tang Sect, haven't I! So don't hold a grudge anymore!" Wang Dong reacted quickly and immediately said.
"Alright, seeing as you voluntarily joined our Tang Sect, I'll forgive the Clear Sky Sect!" Tang Ya was very generous, representing the former number one Sect on the continent, the Tang Sect, in forgiving the once number one Sect on the continent, the Clear Sky Sect.
This scene made the others in the conference room feel very strange and also quite comical.
