Chapter 45: Bie San Envious
Ning Rongrong's heart felt like it was being clawed at by a cat. She remembered that Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have been with Bai Yu all day today. She must know what happened at noon!
Her eyes darted around. She grabbed Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's hands, turned, and ran towards the room, shouting loudly:
"Teacher Zhao, you all go first. Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and I have something to do. We'll be there in a moment!"
Zhao Wuji and the others were full of questions, muttering, "What are these little girls up to?"
The three returned to the room, and Ning Rongrong was already impatient, letting out a marmot-like cry at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, you were with Bai Yu all day today, right? Did you really meet the Silver Dragon King at noon? Ah, quickly tell me!"
Xiao Wu was also very curious now. She vaguely remembered her mother telling her that Spirit Beasts had a Beast God, but it wasn't called the Silver Dragon King, was it?
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, speaking with an amazed tone:
"We indeed met two extremely beautiful women, especially the silver-haired one. Just as Bai Yu described her, her beauty was not of this world! She should be the Silver Dragon King."
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's eyes widened. The co-lord of Spirit Beasts! They really wanted to see her too. Then Ning Rongrong asked again:
"What happened then? Did Bai Yu go to see that co-lord of Spirit Beasts?"
Thinking of Bai Yu's reaction at the time, a smile flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and she shook her head at Ning Rongrong.
"Nothing happened, they just passed by each other. But Bai Yu seemed a bit nervous at the time, I don't know why."
Ning Rongrong was a little disappointed, muttering to herself.
"How could nothing happen? Meeting a friend from a past life, Bai Yu should have gone to reintroduce himself, right? They just passed by like that?"
Xiao Wu, however, wasn't surprised. She turned to Ning Rongrong and said:
"That's normal. That person doesn't know Bai Yu now, and is much stronger than him. Bai Yu probably was afraid that if he approached rashly, he'd be mistaken for trying to pick up someone and be killed casually, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed at this moment, thinking of a question, and she looked at Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, besides transforming and cultivating, can your Spirit Beasts also turn into human form? Since Bai Yu said the Silver Dragon King has a true body, then she shouldn't have transformed and cultivated."
Xiao Wu's face was full of confusion. This question touched upon her knowledge blind spot, so she could only reluctantly reply:
"I don't know either! Oh dear, the time for the Spirit Fighting Arena is almost here. Let's hurry and register, and go find Teacher Zhao and the others!"
...
By the time the three arrived, Tang San had already gone to fight in the solo match.
"Did you register? Why are you so late? You can't even participate in the doubles match now. What mysterious things were you doing?"
Zhao Wuji saw the three of them and grumbled in a loud, ill-tempered voice.
Seeing everyone in the private room staring at them, the three looked a bit embarrassed. Ning Rongrong whispered:
"Oh, it's just a little secret among girls. Besides, I pulled Zhuqing to register for the doubles match, so we can still fight!"
Bai Yu shook his head. Ning Rongrong was soft all over, except for her mouth.
"Alright, since you're here, adjust your state and wait for the Spirit Fighting. But Rongrong, the probability of you and Little Cat winning the doubles match is not high."
Hearing Bai Yu say they couldn't win, Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, looking quite unconvinced.
"How can we not win! I don't believe it. Zhuqing, do you think we can win?"
Zhu Zhuqing turned her head away. Bai Yu looked at the fuming Ning Rongrong, grinning widely.
Ning Rongrong didn't expect her good sister not to support her, and this guy Bai Yu was still mocking her. Angrily, she started swearing and talking nonsense.
Because the three girls registered late, everyone else had finished their solo Spirit Fights and were waiting for the doubles matches to begin. Xiao Wu only went on stage then, and Zhu Zhuqing even later. Xiao Wu was almost done when a waiter came to call for Zhu Zhuqing.
When Zhu Zhuqing followed the waiter out of the private room, Zhao Wuji's expression shifted, and he asked Bai Yu:
"Bai Xiaozi, this morning you took that little girl to the room to teach her something. How did her learning go?"
Bai Yu was playing with a cup of tea in his hand, occasionally taking a sip, watching the clumsy fight in the Spirit Fighting Arena with great interest.
Hearing Zhao Wuji's question, he turned his head and saw everyone looking at him curiously. The probing look in Yu Xiaogang's eyes made his mouth twitch, and he rolled his eyes.
"What can she learn in just one day? If it were that easy to learn, everyone would be a master. But I did give her something else that should surprise you all."
Bai Yu's words piqued everyone's curiosity. They all looked out the window, wanting to know how he would surprise them.
But after searching around, everyone was full of questions. They didn't see Zhu Zhuqing in the Spirit Grandmaster arena. Where did she go?
"She's over there, you're looking in the wrong place."
Hearing Bai Yu's voice, everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and their pupils instantly constricted to the size of needlepoints.
"How did Zhuqing become a Spirit Elder? Wasn't she level 27 before? She leveled up three times in one day?"
Xiao Wu's exclamation rang out. As soon as she entered the room, she saw everyone staring out the window like wooden statues, and she also looked curiously.
"Not three levels, but ten levels. Little Cat is now level 37."
Xiao Wu's exclamation woke everyone up. Just as they cleared their heads, they heard Bai Yu's words, and their expressions completely lost control.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could she level up ten times in one day? Did you make her learn some secret art that overdraws her body? You are definitely harming her!"
Yu Xiaogang jumped up, the expression on his old face completely distorted, believing that Bai Yu had made Zhu Zhuqing learn a secret technique that overdrawn her body.
Bai Yu was a little surprised at this moment. He found that Yu Xiaogang's leg seemed a bit off. His right leg was a bit stiff and slightly shorter than his left leg?
However, he didn't pay much attention, just assuming that Gang Zi had a cramp from being too surprised just now. He glanced at him and then said indifferently:
"It's hard for me to explain it to you with your current understanding. To put it simply, I gave her two things."
"A pair of external Spirit Bones, which raised Little Cat by one level. And a heavenly treasure, the Water Immortal Jade Muscle Bone, which raised her by eight levels. Absorbing a spirit ring raised her by one level. That's it."
"Water Immortal Jade Muscle Bone!!!"
Before Yu Xiaogang could speak, Tang San directly pushed him aside, exclaiming in surprise, his eyes burning as he looked at Bai Yu.
Yu Xiaogang, who was supported by Liu Erlong, stopped Liu Erlong who was about to get angry, and asked Tang San:
"Little San, do you know what this Water Immortal Jade Muscle Bone is? Is it a drug that overdraws the body?"
Gang Zi's question made a hint of disdain flash in Tang San's eyes. He secretly thought, 'As expected, a good-for-nothing. No wonder Bai Yu doesn't even bother with you!'
Then he took a deep breath, explaining with envy and longing in his eyes:
"The Water Immortal Jade Muscle Bone is an Immortal Herb! This item should only exist in the heavens, an Immortal Herb rarely heard of in the human world! Consuming it moistens the muscles and bones, and unblocks the meridians!"
"If it truly is this item, then it's very normal for Zhu Zhuqing to have increased her spirit power by eight levels. Not only will it not harm her body, but it will also mend her foundation and improve her aptitude."
"This is what Bai Ge previously mentioned as the 'great opportunity' in his statement about innate physical aptitude, which cannot be improved without a great opportunity!"
