After learning Ah Yin's true identity, although Bibi Dong didn't have any immediate plans for Ah Yin, curiosity was inevitable.
A living Hundred Thousand Year Metamorphosed Spirit Beast that only existed in legends was walking right in front of her; it would be truly strange if she weren't curious.
However, Ah Yin didn't find Bibi Dong's curiosity strange at all.
Having traveled across the Douluo Continent for so many years, Ah Yin had naturally seen all kinds of Spirit Masters.
Ordinary ones, talented ones, all sorts of people.
But this was the first time she had seen a young female Genius Spirit Master like Bibi Dong.
Therefore, from her perspective, she felt that Bibi Dong was likely looking at her with a mindset similar to her own.
So, when the two met again and Bibi Dong cast a curious gaze at her once more, Ah Yin took the initiative to speak.
"So, you've been looking at me for so long, what exactly are you curious about?"
Bibi Dong, who hadn't expected Ah Yin to speak first, was stunned for a moment, then replied casually:
"Nothing, I'm just... isn't this the first time I've seen a Spirit Master like you?"
A Spirit Master who was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast transformed into human form—wasn't this the first time she had seen one?
"Hmm... doesn't Spirit Hall have any Spirit Masters similar to me?"
Ah Yin asked tentatively.
"Spirit Masters similar to me? On the current Douluo Continent, there's only Xiaogang, I suppose."
"As for the others, they either run far away the moment they hear my teacher's name, or they act obsequious. It's completely uninteresting."
Bibi Dong said sincerely.
As she grew older and her strength increased, Bibi Dong's appearance became even more perfect.
It could be said that among the younger generation of Spirit Hall—no, the younger generation of the entire Douluo Continent—there was basically no one who didn't know of Bibi Dong.
And among all those people, the only one who could catch Bibi Dong's eye was Yu Xiaogang.
Or rather, Yu Xiaogang was so dazzling that Bibi Dong's standards were unconsciously raised. Any Genius who could have earned her recognition before suddenly seemed to drop in rank after being compared to Yu Xiaogang.
Take Tang Hao, for example. Qian Xunji once evaluated that although Tang Hao's talent was inferior to Bibi Dong's, he was still the number one person below her.
But looking at Tang Hao now, Bibi Dong felt that such a person being second only to her completely lowered her own status.
Bibi Dong's words were spoken with sincerity. Looking at her confident demeanor, Ah Yin couldn't help but sigh. Different people truly possessed completely different Spirits and energies.
As a Hundred Thousand Year Metamorphosed Spirit Beast, Ah Yin had lived in the human World for many years.
In the years prior, Ah Yin had always been hiding her identity, so the people she came into contact with were basically commoners, or at most, low-level Spirit Masters.
On these people, all sorts of unwillingness, anger, sadness, and longing were piled up...
Too many similar emotions surrounded Ah Yin, causing her to have a very bad impression of humans at first.
But as her strength became sufficient and she no longer feared her Soul Beast identity being discovered, Ah Yin began to reveal her extraordinary nature and started contacting high-level Spirit Masters.
From those high-level Spirit Masters, Ah Yin felt a different kind of emotion: ambition, greater longing, more unwillingness...
Originally, Ah Yin had assumed these emotions were common to all humans.
It wasn't until the Tang brothers appeared before her that Ah Yin truly felt emotions like self-confidence and flamboyance.
Although Tang Hao appeared slightly decadent at that time, this decadence wasn't directed at everyone. At least, when encountering most Spirit Masters, Tang Hao was as confident as Tang Xiao.
Later, through conversation, Bibi Dong learned about Yu Xiaogang, the person who had turned Tang Hao into this state.
She also learned that the talents of Spirit Masters in the human World varied, and she understood the unwillingness and longing of low-level Spirit Masters—they all craved to become stronger Spirit Masters.
Having clarified this, Ah Yin's interest in humans grew even stronger.
When she was a Soul Beast, Ah Yin stayed in the forest all day, either sleeping or absorbing nutrients to grow stronger.
In her long Life as a plant, although Ah Yin had seen many humans, most humans couldn't even reach the place where she resided.
However, the various deeds of those humans that unfolded before her eyes eventually led her, after one hundred thousand years, to choose to transform into a human and experience the human World for herself.
Compared to growing idly in the forest all day, Ah Yin was much more curious about human Life.
"I see. However, my talent is very average. Being able to be with Brother Hao and the others is purely because I am a healing-type Spirit Master."
"It might be very different from what you imagine."
Ah Yin said.
"...Let's not talk about that for now. What is your Spirit? I saw what looked like Blue Silver Grass in your hand earlier?"
Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment, ultimately choosing to change the subject.
"My Spirit is indeed Blue Silver Grass, but after adding a spirit ring, my Spirit underwent an evolution and became a stronger form of Blue Silver Grass."
"For this Spirit, I named it Blue Silver Emperor, because this Spirit allows me to control Blue Silver Grass, as if I were the emperor among Blue Silver Grass."
As she spoke, Ah Yin raised her hand, and a crystalline Blue Silver Grass appeared on her palm.
Bibi Dong looked closely and realized it was indeed a much higher grade than Blue Silver Grass.
But then again, if a roadside weed like Blue Silver Grass could become a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, didn't that mean that chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs all had the potential to reach one hundred thousand years?
Of course, while thinking this, Bibi Dong also understood how much luck it would take for such a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast to emerge.
"So, is Blue Silver Grass suitable for the path of a healing-type Spirit Master?"
"Hmm, after all, everyone says Blue Silver Grass has strong vitality and can grow anywhere."
"My idea is to push that tenacious vitality of Blue Silver Grass to the extreme. Such abundant Life force would definitely be extremely powerful when used to heal teammates."
"Of course, this is just my own insight, and it is the path most suitable for Blue Silver Grass that I could think of."
Although Ah Yin was humble in her words, looking at her expression, she couldn't have been more confident.
If it were any other Spirit, Ah Yin wouldn't dare to guarantee how it should be developed.
But when it came to Blue Silver Grass, she could pat her chest and guarantee that this was the optimal route.
As the emperor of Blue Silver Grass, Ah Yin knew all too well what characteristics this roadside weed possessed.
She could confidently tell the entire Douluo Continent that no one understood Blue Silver Grass better than she did!
