Blue Tyrant Academy, Advanced Cultivation Room.
The dense heaven and earth spirit power slowly dissipated. Lu Ming opened his eyes, a flicker of disappointment appearing on his handsome face.
Feeling the spirit power in his body that had barely increased, he sighed softly.
"Teacher Erlong, I've wasted your resources again."
Lu Ming looked toward the tall figure walking in from the doorway.
"My Blue Silver Grass Spirit still hasn't been able to break through the bottleneck, and my spirit power remains at Rank 26."
"I'm afraid I won't be qualified to participate in the upcoming Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament."
The person who arrived was the Dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong.
She wore a tight-fitting fiery red dress that perfectly outlined her explosive and alluring figure.
Her long hair of the same color was casually draped over her shoulders. As she walked, her straight and slender legs were faintly visible, exuding the stunning charm of a mature woman.
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Liu Erlong's heroic eyebrows furrowed slightly, but they soon smoothed out.
She walked to Lu Ming's side, reached out a warm hand, and rubbed his hair.
"Xiao Ming, don't say that."
Liu Erlong's voice, changing from its usual explosive nature, was full of softness and concern.
"What do a few resources matter? As long as they can make you stronger, any amount is worth it."
"Don't lose heart. Aunt Erlong will get you another batch of even better ones in a few days."
She gazed at Lu Ming and said seriously:
"Remember, the quality of a Spirit does not determine a Spirit Master's final achievements. Even if it's a recognized trash Spirit, as long as you work hard enough, you can still stand out from the crowd!"
Despite these words, both of them were well aware of the difficulties involved.
Liu Erlong changed the subject, a glint flashing in her eyes.
"By the way, perhaps someone can help you."
"His name is Yu Xiaogang. He is the recognized number one theoretical master on the Douluo Continent, and his research on Spirits is second to none."
"He might have a way to solve the evolution problem of your Blue Silver Grass Spirit."
A ripple of emotion stirred in Lu Ming's heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Yu Xiaogang?
theoretical master?
That title could only fool a woman like Liu Erlong, who was deeply infatuated.
Lu Ming knew very well that Yu Xiaogang was famous for his double standards.
He only had eyes for geniuses; only monsters like Tang San, who possessed twin spirits, would catch his eye.
With his own ordinary Blue Silver Grass Spirit and Rank 26 spirit power, go to him?
He probably wouldn't even get a second glance and would only be condescendingly scolded with that theory of 'there are no trash Spirits, only trash Spirit Masters.'
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's so-called theories were nothing but a joke to a transmigrator like him, who knew the entire progression of the Douluo Continent.
"I'll consider it, Teacher Erlong."
Lu Ming nodded without arguing.
Seeing that he had listened, a gratified smile appeared on Liu Erlong's face. She gave him a few more instructions before turning to leave.
As the stone door of the cultivation room slowly closed, the disappointment on Lu Ming's face vanished instantly, replaced by a depth and coldness that didn't match his age.
He was now fifteen years old, with the well-known trash Spirit Blue Silver Grass and Rank 26 spirit power.
This achievement was considered decent among ordinary Spirit Masters.
But among the group of monsters where geniuses gathered, it seemed so insignificant.
Lu Ming fell into reminiscence.
He was a transmigrator. As soon as he opened his eyes, he became a crying infant. His parents had died early in a spirit hunting operation, leaving him an orphan.
Just when he thought he was about to start in hell mode, Liu Erlong found him.
This woman, with her explosive exterior but incredibly soft heart, adopted him and even took him as her only Personal Disciple, treating him as her own.
Over the years, Liu Erlong had been extremely good to him, unhesitatingly pouring all sorts of rare cultivation resources into him. Her level of care would probably even make Yu Xiaogang jealous.
Unfortunately, his Spirit was the ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
It wasn't the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline with its own built-in cheats like Tang San's.
Without fortuitous encounters or cheats, the upper limit of this Spirit was visible to the naked eye, and the spirit power cultivation speed was excruciatingly slow.
Even with Liu Erlong's resource support, reaching Rank 26 at fifteen years old was almost his limit.
Compared to that group of monsters from Shrek, he was far behind.
Lu Ming's gaze became solemn.
"According to the timeline, Tang San is also fifteen now. Shrek Academy should have just been kicked out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"Next, that hypocrite Yu Xiaogang will lead them to seek refuge at Teacher Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy."
At this thought, Lu Ming felt a strong sense of crisis.
Once that group from Shrek arrived, his good days would likely be over.
This Tang San seemed gentle but was actually ruthless. At the slightest disagreement, he would label someone as 'having a way to seek death' and strike without mercy.
That Fatty named Ma Hongjun, who wanted to find women whenever he couldn't suppress his evil fire, was a complete walking trouble.
The Shrek group claimed to be righteous, yet every one of them was a troublemaker.
As a 'connected person' with low strength, he would probably be the best target for them to establish their authority.
By then, he might really be in danger.
Just as Lu Ming was feeling uneasy, a crisp mechanical notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding!]
[You have become the Group Owner of the Douluo World Chat Group!]
[The Group Owner has functions such as inviting new members, muting, kicking, and appointing administrators. More functions await further exploration.]
[Except for the Group Owner, all members of this group are female characters!]
[New members have been automatically invited to join the Chat Group!]
A stream of information flooded into his mind. Lu Ming was first stunned, then wild joy surged in his heart.
It's here!
As a transmigrator, the Golden Finger might be late, but it will never be absent!
Chat Group!
He knew this all too well!
He quickly digested the information in his mind.
As the Group Owner, what he needed to do was keep the Chat Group active.
The more active the Chat Group was, the richer and more powerful the rewards he could obtain.
And the group members only needed to share their stories in the group.
Or complete group tasks to obtain coveted rewards: Spirit Bones, Immortal Herbs, and even the method to become a god!
A playful smile curled on Lu Ming's lips, and all his previous worries and anxieties were swept away.
With a thought, a simple and ancient small bronze mirror appeared out of thin air in his palm.
On the mirror's surface, lines of text like ripples on water slowly emerged.
[Douluo Chat Group:]
[Bunny is the Cutest]
[Little Demoness]
[My Cat is White and Big]
[Supreme Pontiff]
[I Have No Mother]
[The Fox Is the Most Innocent]
[Gentle Fire Dragon]
[Poison Fairy]
[My Son Is Not a Bastard]
Seeing the nicknames enter the Chat Group one by one, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Rise!
