The Grand Elder's analysis put the high-ranking members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect at ease.
Indeed, if Yu Xiaogang had not appeared in their own family, they would never have realized the benefits that in-depth theoretical research could bring, let alone taken the initiative to invest in this area and wait for future rewards.
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, considered the most generous force on the Douluo Continent, could not just give away so much so easily.
Not to mention that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had suffered a major blow to their power due to previous compensations, making them even more cautious in their actions now.
"Therefore, we must take this opportunity to thoroughly establish our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's reputation in this regard, so that even if other forces realize the benefits in the future, it will be too late for them to copy us."
"Spirit Hall became a Holy Land in the hearts of Spirit Masters by helping them with Spirit Awakening for free."
"Then our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will become the Holy Land symbolizing knowledge in the minds of Spirit Masters by collecting and exchanging knowledge!"
The Grand Elder clenched his fist, looking ambitious.
If Spirit Hall can be a Holy Land, then my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect can do it too!
After all, we will have a god of our own in the future. Since both are forces possessing gods, who is worse off than whom?
The Grand Elder's words made Yu Yuanzhen and the other Elders feel impassioned.
Becoming a Holy Land for Spirit Masters just like Spirit Hall—although the direction is different, the title alone is enough.
If they truly achieved this, they would be worthy of the ancestors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Sect Elders who had entrusted them with the position of Elder.
Yu Xiaogang was unaware of the thoughts of the Sect's upper management, but even if he knew, he wouldn't say much.
When he first mentioned this, he already had such a vision in mind.
However, forming a place like this Holy Land is destined not to be achieved in a short time.
Decades, even a century might not be enough.
Heaven knows what he will be like in decades or a century.
Therefore, although the future prospects are bright, Yu Xiaogang is more concerned with the present.
After Yu Xiaogang proposed the idea of collecting knowledge at the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, many Spirit Masters who were originally hostile toward the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team—where Yu Xiaogang was—for suddenly joining the competition zone and causing the matches to become more intense, suddenly softened their attitudes significantly.
They were well aware that with their level, even if they actually advanced to the finals, they would only be playing the role of cannon fodder.
Their previous dissatisfaction stemmed from Yu Xiaogang and his team depriving them of even the qualification to serve as cannon fodder.
Why would they want to be cannon fodder?
Isn't it because being cannon fodder gives them a chance to shed that identity?
If they could be noticed by the experts of those major forces, they would have the opportunity to become stronger.
And now, by opening up the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's Legacy, Yu Xiaogang was essentially giving them this opportunity in disguise.
These past few days, they had gone to the entrance of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's residence to learn about the content the Sect had opened for exchange.
From basic meditation methods, combat techniques, and rudimentary cultivation insights, to Spirit Beast encyclopedias, high-level combat techniques, and cultivation secrets leading to higher ranks.
Even what kind of Spirit Ability a spirit ring produced by a certain Spirit Beast would have—all of this could be exchanged for.
This immediately made those commoner Spirit Masters drool with envy.
Heaven knows how difficult their journey had been.
And regarding the future, they were filled with endless confusion.
Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect agreed to let them exchange for knowledge, it was simply like bringing rain to parched land and medicine to a severely injured patient.
Under such circumstances, how could they have the nerve to raise objections about Yu Xiaogang participating in the Spirit Master Elite Tournament and taking away a spot?
They were actually hoping that more good things like this would come along.
After winning another victory, Yu Xiaogang and his group no longer saw any feelings of rejection in their opponents' eyes.
Walking off the arena, Bibi Dong tilted her head and glanced at Yu Xiaogang.
"So, doing this, aren't you worried that those people will enjoy your benefits but not remember your kindness?"
"I have seen many such examples, where one does a good deed but is eventually bitten back."
"My teacher taught me not to trust others easily; the bad people in this World are far more numerous than I imagined."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang raised an eyebrow and looked at Bibi Dong.
He hadn't expected Bibi Dong to think about these things.
"It's not that complicated. From start to finish, I never thought about having those people remember my kindness. What I do is never about helping those people."
"My primary goal is always myself, and then the group of people around me."
"As for those who have nothing to do with me gaining benefits, it is purely because doing so can mobilize their enthusiasm."
"Without sufficient interest to drive them, how could they be willing to hand over their trump cards?"
Speaking of this, Yu Xiaogang looked at Bibi Dong.
"So, don't think I'm that kind of bleeding heart."
"If you really think of me that way, I'm afraid that one day, you'll be thanking me even after being completely taken advantage of by me."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, especially that last phrase "completely taken advantage of," Bibi Dong's face immediately turned red, and she punched Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder.
"You... you..."
She stammered for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't say anything coherent.
Yu Xiaogang, having been punched, patted his shoulder, the corners of his mouth curling up.
"What's the matter, do you feel that now that you've realized my true nature, you can't accept it?"
"Hmph, too bad. I am just this kind of person. No matter how much you fantasize, I won't change into anything else."
"But having said that, if it were you, I would be willing to give a little more sincerity than I would to those strangers."
"After all, we've known each other for such a long time. You shouldn't still be like when we first met, not sure if I have the qualifications to be your friend, right?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Bibi Dong's face turned even redder.
Qualifications to be a friend—recalling when they hadn't known each other long, she had actually said such words.
However, as time passed, Bibi Dong realized that nowadays, the one who needed to prove themselves qualified was not Yu Xiaogang, but herself.
She, this super Genius recognized by the outside World as possessing twin spirits, was the one who needed to prove that she was worthy of being Yu Xiaogang's friend.
And thinking of how she looked when she said those words back then, the blood rushed to Bibi Dong's head even more.
"Alright, alright, let's discuss these things later. Anyway, we are teammates now."
"The Qualifiers are almost over, and the subsequent Promotion Match isn't very interesting either. We need to think of something to do."
Seeing Bibi Dong's blushing appearance, Yu Xiaogang chuckled inwardly and took the initiative to change the subject.
On the side, the others from the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team, especially Xu Xiaoxing and the others, watched the interaction between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong, and subtle smiles unconsciously appeared on their faces.
