Jing Hongchen glared fiercely at Xuan Ziwen, who pretended not to notice, whistling and staring at the ground.
This ground was truly ground!
Kong Deming clearly had no time to bother with Jing Hongchen.
He first looked at the spirit tool Huo Yuhao had made, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao.
“Child, I hear you have twin spirits, and your main Spirit cultivation currently focuses on your Spirit Eyes, a mental-attribute innate Spirit, correct?” At this moment, Huo Yuhao was already in turmoil.
What happened?
He wanted to show his talent to attract the attention of a big shot like Jing Hongchen, but he never expected to attract a powerhouse like Kong Deming.
This situation was like Shrek conducting its second-year promotion assessment, and suddenly Mu En was alarmed.
However, Huo Yuhao calmed his nervous heart and answered calmly.
“This junior dares to call you Kong Lao.
You are correct, I am indeed a twin spirits Spirit Master.
One is the mental-attribute innate Spirit Eyes, and the other is a Tool Spirit named The End Clock.” Kong Deming already knew all this; after all, if he wanted a student’s information, it wasn’t something Jing Hongchen could conceal by simply trying to hide it.
The reason he brought it up now was merely to find common ground between them.
Compared to Jing Hongchen’s earlier investment in this child, his sudden appearance indeed put him at a disadvantage, so he could only approach it from another angle.
After all, he also had twin spirits, and in this regard, he had gone much further than people like Jing Hongchen.
“Very good, very good, child.
May I see your Spirit?” Huo Yuhao’s talent and innovativeness in spirit tool research were undeniable.
Now, what remained was to see his second Spirit besides the Spirit Eyes.
As for his background and origins, he neither wanted nor cared to know; who would send such a peerless genius to an enemy camp?
His disciple, Xuan Ziwen, was also not a pure Sun Moon Empire citizen a long time ago.
Such sectarianism was truly too narrow-minded.
He glanced at Jing Hongchen, and with the latter’s nod, Huo Yuhao released his second Spirit.
In an instant, the few people in the experimental area felt a deep sense of loneliness and destiny.
This feeling was like the despair of everything heading towards its end.
“My second Spirit is called The End Clock.
It’s a Tool Spirit that hasn’t fully awakened yet.
As for its abilities, I haven’t fully figured them out yet.” What he said was the truth.
After all, the The End Clock would definitely continue to engrave echoes and characteristics later, so leaving some room in his words now would allow for reasonable explanations later.
At this moment, Kong Deming’s envious look had been completely replaced by fervor.
“The End Clock, good, truly an unprecedented Tool Spirit.
The power of this Spirit is something even I cannot fully grasp.” Not fully awakened yet?
What kind of problem is that?
Innate Spirits even have a second awakening of their Spirit, so isn’t it only natural for another Spirit not to be fully awakened?
“Child, let me introduce myself.
My name is Kong Deming, and I am the Hall Master of the Sun Moon Empire’s Hall of Offerings.
I am also a twin spirits wielder, with the title Silver Moon.” Kong Deming’s tone at this moment was a bit agitated, his voice even subtly tinged with apprehension.
“Child, I have guided countless Soul Guiders in my life, but now I only have Xuan Ziwen as a disciple.
If you are willing, would you like to become my closed-door disciple?” “Whether it’s the cultivation of twin spirits or the research of Soul Guiders, I will teach you everything without reservation.” This time, even Jing Hongchen, who had originally sworn to contend, remained silent.
Although he felt it was a pity, he also knew that the most suitable person for Huo Yuhao right now was actually this old man in front of him.
Whether it was spirit tools, Spirit Masters, or the twin spirits similar to Yuhao’s, this person was the most suitable teacher candidate.
He might be able to teach Huo Yuhao spirit tool research, but on the path of a Spirit Master, he couldn’t give him the best.
Therefore, it wasn’t that he couldn’t compete, but for Huo Yuhao to have a better future, he was unwilling to compete.
This was a responsibility a senior should consider for a junior.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not immediately bow and acknowledge him as his master.
He was not an ungrateful person; he still remembered Jing Hongchen’s investment and help before.
Some things, like eagerly rushing into it versus others going with the flow, were completely different matters.
Seeing this, Kong Deming also nodded in satisfaction.
This child truly suited his taste, and Jing Hongchen sighed, finally speaking.
“Yuhao, Kong Lao is right.
This old…
he is indeed the most suitable person to be your teacher.
What are you still standing there for?
Go and acknowledge him as your master.” Hearing this, Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated, bowing to Kong Deming and acknowledging him as his master, thus establishing their master-disciple relationship.
“Greetings, Teacher!” “Good, good, good, good child, truly a good child.” Kong Deming was incredibly satisfied.
He never expected, truly never expected, that at his age he could still take on a closed-door disciple like Yuhao, whose talent and character were both top-notch.
This life was not in vain, truly not in vain.
“Yuhao, call out ‘Senior Brother’ for me to hear.” Xuan Ziwen was also overjoyed.
The thought of having such a talented junior brother made him feel that he was not alone on his path.
This scene utterly shocked Lin Jiayi and Shi Xuan.
The shocks of this day were simply too numerous.
First, Dean and Xuan Ziwen, an Eighth-Level Soul Guidance, personally arrived.
Then, Yuhao created another groundbreaking spirit tool ‘model.’ Then, Dean and Xuan Ziwen successively began to fight over him.
Before they could even recover, Kong Deming, Kong Lao, surprisingly arrived, and his purpose was also to take Huo Yuhao as a disciple.
They felt that nothing they had experienced in their first half of life was as exciting as this moment.
At this point, Kong Deming took out a Ninth-Level spirit tool, his tone becoming much more relaxed and amiable.
“Hall Master Hongchen, don’t say I’m stealing your disciple.
Here, this Ninth-Level Protective Shield Defense spirit tool, consider it compensation for you this time, Hall Master Hongchen.” Hmph, Jing Hongchen scoffed dismissively.
A Ninth-Level Defense spirit tool?
As if he didn’t have one himself.
Even three more Ninth-Level spirit tools wouldn’t compare to a single hair of Yuhao’s.
But while he thought this, he still accepted the item.
Both sides knew this was just a gesture, and neither would take this Ninth-Level spirit tool, which was considered incredibly precious by the outside world, seriously.
Jing Hongchen pondered for a moment, then took out another Ninth-Level triggered defense spirit tool and personally handed it to Huo Yuhao.
“This Ninth-Level triggered defense spirit tool, named Hongchen’s Protection, is controlled by thought, adaptively fits, and offers triggered defense.
It has no cultivation restrictions for the user and is my reward for Yuhao for breaking the record this time.” Although that’s what he said, Huo Yuhao and the others present all clearly understood that this was Jing Hongchen’s investment in Huo Yuhao.
After all, who would give out a Ninth-Level spirit tool as a mere reward?
“Thank you, Dean.” Jing Hongchen still felt regretful about not being able to become Huo Yuhao’s teacher, but as soon as he thought that Huo Yuhao had become Kong Deming’s disciple, that thought vanished.
Never mind, never mind.
What could he do when he hadn’t gone as far as this old man on the path of a Spirit Master?
Besides, even if Yuhao had become his disciple, he would still have to study in the teaching department before becoming a Fifth-Level Soul Engineer.
He had nothing to be disappointed about.
