Besides the changes in his Physique, his spirit power also received a slight boost.
This increase wasn't significant, but it was noticeable enough.
Half an hour later, the medicinal effects gradually faded, and Li Tian stood up to stretch his body.
“Bang bang…”
His bones resonated, and the faint popping sounds were exceptionally clear in the quiet room.
Li Tian clearly felt the changes in his Physique.
After adapting for a bit, he decided to continue consuming them, aiming to finish the rest in one go.
The process went smoothly.
The five-thousand-year Whale Gel's effects in that regard weren't as exaggerated as the ten-thousand-year Whale Gel's.
Li Tian only had to visit the restroom twice.
However, he was still very satisfied with the enhancing effect on his Physique.
The second ring, a thousand years, shouldn't be a problem.
His spirit power also received a considerable boost, estimated to be about two Ranks.
The exact amount would only be known after testing.
Li Tian took a shower, made his bed, and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.
Now, his living arrangements and Physique improvement were settled.
Next was how to attract Qian Renxue's attention and have her proactively recruit him.
He had devised two plans.
A commoner Spirit Master with a clean background and limited knowledge would be relatively easy to recruit.
And also easier to use.
Whether it was the Heaven Dou Imperial Family or non-clan factions like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
They would definitely have informants in places frequented by commoner Spirit Masters.
As long as a Genius commoner Spirit Master appeared, they would absolutely extend an olive branch immediately.
Where in Heaven Dou City were commoner Spirit Masters most abundant?
Spirit Master Academies.
Not all Advanced Spirit Master Academies only recruited noble children.
Academies that recruited commoner Spirit Masters would certainly have their informants.
If the appearance of Innate full spirit power couldn't even attract Qian Renxue's attention.
Then her standards would be too high.
Besides Spirit Master Academies, the only other place was the Great Spirit Arena.
There were two types of Spirit Masters who went to the Great Spirit Arena.
Students who wanted to hone their combat experience, and commoner Spirit Masters who wanted to earn money.
There should also be informants from various factions in the Great Spirit Arena.
He was only six years old; stepping onto the arena would attract attention, and then displaying some strength.
It shouldn't be difficult to attract Qian Renxue's attention.
However, the Spirit Master Academy was only a backup plan; he would only consider the Great Spirit Arena if absolutely necessary, as he was aiming for Qian Renxue, the Crown Prince, and would naturally join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy later.
Transferring back and forth would be quite troublesome.
Moreover, joining an academy one moment and then transferring due to climbing the social ladder the next wouldn't sound good.
As for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, that would require careful planning.
Dugu Bo was not someone to trifle with, and he didn't have a powerful father like Tang Hao.
Foolishly approaching him would be a death wish, okay?
Compared to trying to trick Dugu Bo, finding the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and stealing from it would actually be safer.
Outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo had set up a poison array.
The green poisonous mist covered a large area, so finding it definitely wouldn't be too difficult.
The difficulty lay in how to break through the poison array.
If absolutely necessary, he would consider trying to trick Dugu Bo, but before that, he needed a backer.
Is stealing bad?
Don't be silly.
Good people don't live long, while evildoers last for a thousand years; if one doesn't act for oneself, Heaven and Earth will destroy them.
Leaving those good things in Dugu Bo's hands would also be a waste.
Anyway, they would fall into Tang San's hands sooner or later; rather than benefiting Tang San, it's better to benefit himself.
If Tang San benefited, Dugu Bo wouldn't get a single hair.
Forget about immortal-grade items; Tang San didn't even give him a single good item below immortal-grade.
If he benefited himself, he could still help Dugu Bo.
…
The next day, early morning.
Most of the people living in Li Tian's rented area were migrant workers.
There were many affordable and good breakfast stalls nearby.
Li Tian quickly ate a few bites, then asked for directions to the Great Spirit Arena.
This was not difficult.
Anyone who wasn't new to Heaven Dou City knew where that iconic building was.
The Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena was located in the center of Heaven Dou City.
It was a huge oval building, even taller than Heaven Dou City's city walls.
Walking into the Great Spirit Arena.
What greeted Li Tian's eyes were dense stone tablets, covered with names.
He knew those were the names of Spirit Masters who had died in the arena.
Spirit duels were divided into three types: competitive, deathmatch, and wagered.
Competitive duels were normal sparring, where killing was not allowed.
Deathmatches, however, were completely opposite; once on the stage, it was up to fate.
Life or death didn't matter.
However, deathmatches were set up for those with irreconcilable conflicts.
Under normal circumstances, no one would participate in such a duel.
Wagered duels had no specific rules; the rules depended entirely on the agreement between the two parties involved.
If it was for money, they bet money; if for profit, they bet profit.
It was the best way for nobles to resolve conflicts and interests.
Under normal circumstances, competitive duels were the main theme of the arena.
And there were also three forms of competition: one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles.
Li Tian arrived at the registration desk.
“Little friend, this is the registration desk. If you want to watch, you can buy tickets at the ticket booth next door.”
The girl in charge of registration spoke very gently.
Li Tian said, “Hello, big sister. I didn't get lost. I'm here to register.”
“Huh?”
The girl was stunned. How could someone so young come out to participate in a Spirit duel competition?
One had to know.
Although competitive duels didn't allow killing, injuries were definitely unavoidable.
Disability was also within the rules.
Such a young child, with such a fragile body, how could he withstand such intensity?
Moreover, to participate in a Spirit duel, one had to be at least Rank eleven.
This child looked only six or seven years old. Could he already be a Spirit Master?
This was too outrageous, wasn't it?
The girl reminded him, “Little friend, to participate in the competition, you need to be at least Rank eleven. Also, where are your adults? Why are you alone?”
Li Tian took out ten gold coins: “Big sister, I'm not joking. My spirit power Rank has already met the requirements. Please help me register.”
The girl stared at him in disbelief.
So young and already a Spirit Master? Where did this Genius come from?
Also.
What kind of parents were these, willing to let such a Genius take risks?
What kind of place was the Great Spirit Arena?
Those who survived and continued to participate in Spirit duels were all extremely experienced in combat.
And those guys didn't hold back.
If they accidentally caused a permanent injury to the child, the parents would have nowhere to cry.
“Little friend, have you thought this through?”
Although she felt a bit verbose, she couldn't help but remind him.
And she explained the pros and cons to Li Tian.
Li Tian nodded heavily: “Thank you for your kindness, big sister. I've already thought it through. Please help me register.”
The girl was helpless.
She had reminded him of everything she could; if the other party insisted on fighting, she couldn't say much more.
“Then please fill out this form first.”
Li Tian took the pen and form from the girl's hand and quickly scanned it.
The form was simple.
It only had fields for Name, Age, Place of Birth, Spirit, and spirit power Rank.
The girl then told Li Tian.
The name didn't have to be his real name; he could use a nickname. The spirit power Rank would be filled in by the staff after testing later.
