Grandmaster Yu, having been severely provoked by Lin Nuo’s previous words, analyzed the situation with his world-renowned wisdom and decided to first employ the tactic of playing hard to get.
He would give this ignorant boy the cold shoulder for a while, letting him truly understand his mistake.
Since Bibi Dong had secretly sent this child right under his nose, it meant that she would definitely not send anyone to secretly provide any substantial help in the short term; otherwise, why go through such a roundabout way?
When the time came, after he took his beloved disciple Tang San to obtain a perfectly compatible first spirit ring and returned in triumph, he would definitely make this damn brat obediently fall for his invincible theory!
After all, looking across the entire Nuoding City, who else besides Grandmaster Yu could precisely identify the age of a Spirit Beast and customize a top-tier spirit ring for it?
Want a top-tier Century-old Spirit Ring, right?
Want to perfectly realize your peerless Genius, right?
When the time comes, won’t you have to honestly kneel on the ground and kowtow to become my disciple?
Even Bibi Dong, who once shook the continent, had bowed before his world-renowned wisdom.
Handling a mere six-year-old child—wasn’t that something easily within his grasp?
His, Yu Xiaogang’s, theory was invincible under the heavens!
Therefore, under the deliberate instigation of this Grandmaster Yu, the news that he was about to lead his beloved disciple Tang San out to hunt for a spirit ring quickly spread throughout Notting Academy as if it had grown wings, sparking discussions among countless people.
However, regarding this clumsy self-promotion, Lin Nuo did not take it to heart at all.
What he was calculating in his mind now was how to steadily obtain his own over-limit first spirit ring.
Since his body had been cleansed and marrow-washed by whale glue, his first spirit ring could already absorb six or seven hundred years of age without any pressure.
Therefore, asking Director Su from the academy to help hunt for a spirit ring would appear highly inappropriate.
No matter how mediocre Director Su’s combat ability was, he was at least a Spirit Ancestor powerhouse who had been deeply involved in the education System for many years.
When it came to distinguishing the appearance and age of Spirit Beasts, he might not be perfectly clear, but he should be close enough.
Once he let the other party witness him breaking conventions and absorbing a spirit ring exceeding four hundred years, he didn’t know how many troubles would arise.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Nuo ultimately decided to directly borrow the power of Spirit Hall.
Even if the matter of his spirit ring age were discovered by them and reported layer by layer, based on the character of that Angel Young Lord, it would ultimately be intercepted at the Heaven Dou City level, and he wouldn’t be meeting Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong so quickly.
Furthermore, with Deacon Su Yuntao, who could even misidentify a Spirit, present, it was really not certain that the other party would understand the intricacies of his spirit ring age.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Relying on the accumulation from these few days in the library, Lin Nuo finally managed to grasp the habits, habitat distribution, and identification techniques for the target Spirit Beasts.
With the theoretical knowledge sorted out, it was time to enter the practical stage.
Early in the morning, Lin Nuo strapped on his packed bag and strolled to the front of the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City, specifically asking to see Deacon Su Yuntao.
After all, when the Awakening ceremony ended, this enthusiastic brother had patted his chest and made a promise—as long as he needed to hunt for a spirit ring, the branch would never refuse.
So, he, Lin, would take it seriously.
When Deacon Su Yuntao saw Lin Nuo’s figure in the hall, he was slightly stunned for a moment, but immediately after, a look of uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on his face.
He had originally thought that since this kid had successfully enrolled, the task of obtaining the first spirit ring would definitely be snatched up by those shrewd teachers in the academy.
He didn’t expect that after all this, this peerless Genius still cherished old feelings and the first person he thought of was still him, his “guide”!
“Haha, good lad!
Don’t worry!
Leave this matter to your brother!” Deacon Su Yuntao waved his hand and immediately handed over his leisurely clerical work without another word.
To ensure this Spirit hunting trip was foolproof, and also to show off his strength in front of this Genius, Deacon Su Yuntao specifically pulled in two other Spirit Grandmaster colleagues from the branch with whom he had the closest relationship, temporarily assembling a high-standard Spirit hunting squad.
Of course, bringing along personal interests was unavoidable.
On this temporary list, that goddess Si Si, whom Deacon Su Yuntao thought about day and night, was prominently included.
“Lin Nuo, do you have a target Spirit Beast?” “Although the Soul Hunting Forest is a Spirit Beast forest kept by our Spirit Hall, the variety of Spirit Beasts cannot compare to those natural Soul Hunting Forests.” “But the variety of Spirit Beasts within it is still quite substantial.” On the way, Deacon Su Yuntao asked, his hands continuously flipping through the Spirit Beast distribution atlas exclusively provided within Spirit Hall.
“Brother Tao, for my first spirit ring, it would be best to choose a poison-attribute spider-type Spirit Beast.” Lin Nuo very tactfully changed his address to Brother Tao and threw out the prepared speech, “Spirit Beasts like the Ghost-Face Spider or the Black-Veined Demon Spider would be good choices.”
Hearing this, the three deacons in the carriage subconsciously exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming imperceptibly solemn.
Spider-type Spirit Beasts were inherently good at lurking and control, and coupled with their toxicity, for Spirit Grandmasters like them, a slight carelessness resulting in a scratch could easily lead to a disaster; they could be said to be the most disgusting things they didn’t want to encounter when hunting Spirit Beasts.
However, thinking about it again, Lin Nuo was just a six-year-old child who had just awakened, and what he needed was just an ordinary Century-old Spirit Ring, with a limit of at most four hundred years.
With three Spirit Grandmasters joining forces to hunt a low-level toxic spider-type Spirit Beast of a few hundred years in the area where Spirit Beasts resided, it should be something easily within their grasp.
Deacon Su Yuntao smiled and patted his chest, looking like he would handle the rest, “Rest assured, Lin Nuo.
When we arrive in the Soul Hunting Forest, you just stand in the middle of us.” “Your first spirit ring is on us.”
The Soul Hunting Forest is located to the northeast of Nuoding City, four hundred miles away from the city.
By the time their group arrived at the destination after a bumpy carriage ride, the sky had already darkened, approaching dusk.
Although this squad had three “terrifying” Spirit Grandmasters sitting in charge, such a configuration could even go head-to-head with an ordinary thousand-year Spirit Beast.
However, poison-attribute spider-type Spirit Beasts were inherently insidious and cunning, and they were best at hiding and ambushing under the cover of night.
Entering the forest in the pitch black to find such Spirit Beasts was truly a path to death.
Therefore, to avoid any accidents, Deacon Su Yuntao waved his hand and decisively proposed to rest for one night at the market outside the forest and wait until tomorrow morning to officially enter the forest.
For this arrangement, Lin Nuo naturally agreed with both hands.
