Chapter 75: Comparing goods leads to throwing them away, comparing people leads to death by anger! Crazy, the fourth spirit ring is ten-thousand-year?
On the open ground.
Lin Qingmo and Xiao Wu departed.
Only Ning Rongrong was left standing there in a daze.
The evening breeze gently brushed her hair and dress, also slowly clearing her thoughts.
Lin Qingmo’s words made her wake up as if from a dream.
"I’m not wrong... but I’m not being responsible for myself."
"One’s own fate should be held in one’s own hands..."
The calm words echoed clearly in her mind one by one, repeatedly knocking at the door of her heart.
Her tears had long since dried up.
Replaced by a gradually brightening glow, ignited deep within her beautiful but once arrogant eyes.
Confusion and grievances gradually dispersed like morning mist.
An unprecedentedly clear thought broke through the soil, beginning to take root and grow in her heart.
Yes.
She was Ning Rongrong.
The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
This was her pride, her roots.
But she couldn’t, and shouldn’t, always just be a glazed flower attached to a big tree, needing strict protection.
The Sect’s protection was indeed warm and powerful.
But the wind and rain outside would eventually need to be faced by herself.
If she couldn’t even endure the hardship of running, if she couldn’t even achieve the most basic self-discipline, then how could she control her own fate in the future?
And how could she contribute a bit of strength when the Sect might need her?
Delicate flowers might stay in the greenhouse forever.
But she, Ning Rongrong... now didn’t want to just be a flower.
She wanted to become a towering tree that could stand side by side with Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Gu, and even protect them!
At least, she would start by being able to independently face these twenty laps of running.
Ning Rongrong slowly clenched her fists.
Her nails sank slightly into her palms, bringing a clear stinging sensation.
This stinging made her even more clear-headed!
The fragility and hesitation in her eyes completely vanished.
Replaced by a mixture of stubborn determination and the unyielding pride belonging to the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Hmph..."
She gave a soft snort.
Not sure if it was at others or at herself.
Then she turned around, straightened her back, and walked away with steps that, though still a bit stiff, were clearly firm.
The last glow of the setting sun fell on her slender but straight back, as if draping her in a faint golden halo.
An arrogant little princess might be quietly transforming.
And all of this was silently observed by a pair of eyes flashing with shrewd light through crystal lenses behind a certain window on the second floor in the distance.
Flender pushed up his glasses, the corner of his mouth curving into a barely perceptible, meaningful smile.
"Interesting, this blue-haired kid really knows how to talk."
He whispered to himself, then his figure quietly vanished into the shadows behind the window... The night of Shrek Academy had finally truly descended.
In the Chat Group, Bibi Dong suddenly asked Lin Qingmo a question.
[The Pope Herself]: @Daddy Douluo, A-Qing, your spirit power reached level forty long ago, right? Do you have a plan for your fourth spirit ring?
Spirit City, Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong’s fingertips tapped the edge of the bed intermittently.
The light screen was a ghostly blue, reflecting her beautiful profile.
She asked casually, but in her heart, she was calculating carefully.
[Daddy Douluo]: Sigh, Imperial Sister, don’t mention it. Just talking about this gives me a headache.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: A headache? You kid should be secretly happy. A twelve-year-old Spirit Ancestor, and you’re still being picky? Be careful not to get struck by lightning!
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong sat with her legs crossed, curling her lip at the light screen.
The sourness in her tone could be smelled even through the screen.
She was considered a Genius back then too,
But compared to a monster like Lin Qingmo... forget it, comparing people leads to death by anger.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: What is A-Qing worrying about?
[Daddy Douluo]: I’m worried. You guys don’t know, but I have a problem. When I see something good, I can’t move away. It’s mainly because I’m too greedy and want everything.
Extreme North.
The wind and snow continued.
Ice Empress and Snow Empress stood atop a glacier.
The Chat Group’s light screen floated in front of the two.
They were naturally curious about the spirit ring choices of human Spirit Masters.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen human Spirit Masters before.
"The first and second spirit rings are hundred-year, the third and fourth are thousand-year; I remember humans generally call this the perfect spirit ring configuration."
Snow Empress recalled.
"Heh, thousand-year cultivation of a Spirit Beast is absorbed by a human who has only grown for a dozen years. Truly pathetic."
Ice Empress’s words were full of displeasure... Shrek Academy, girls’ dormitory.
It was late at night, but neither Ning Rongrong nor Zhu Zhuqing was asleep.
Regarding Lin Qingmo’s spirit rings, they had seen them long ago.
Three thousand-year spirit rings, they just didn’t know the specific years.
[Daddy Douluo]: My greed has a reason. My first spirit ring was two thousand years old. The starting point was too high; I have to be greedy.
[Little Witch]: Wait... how many?!
Seeing what he said, Ning Rongrong almost bounced off the bed.
A two-thousand-year first spirit ring?
Those ancient texts on Spirit Master theory in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School’s library were currently shattering in her head.
This is rubbing the common sense of the Spirit Master’s world into the dirt!
She originally thought a thousand years at most was the limit, but she didn’t expect it to exceed that by so much!
[Big-Breasted Kitty]: Two thousand years... A rare look of astonishment also appeared on Zhu Zhuqing’s cold face.
Her hands on her knees tightened slightly.
That trash Dai Mubai’s third ring was only just over a thousand years.
Compared to a monster like Lin Qingmo, whose starting point was two thousand years... forget it, don’t compare, it’s heartbreaking.
[Daddy Douluo]: That’s right. You guys came late so you might not know. My second spirit ring is five thousand years, and the third is nine thousand years, just a tiny bit away from touching the ten-thousand-year mark.
The text on the light screen jumped out calmly.
But it was like several giant boulders smashing into their hearts.
A nine-thousand-year third spirit ring?
With this configuration, even some Spirit Kings would probably blush with shame!
[Bingbing]: Ha? First ring two thousand years? Third ring nine thousand years? Are you even human?
Ice Empress’s shock blurted out.
Even from her perspective, this was outrageously excessive.
How could a 12-year-old boy withstand the energy impact of a near ten-thousand-year spirit ring?
Doesn’t this mean that this just 12-year-old Lin Qingmo’s strength is already comparable to a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast?
Are humans... really so uniquely blessed?
[Snow Empress]:... Snow Empress also fell silent.
Ripples moved slightly in her cool eyes.
This indeed exceeded her understanding of human Spirit Masters.
Could it be that human Physiques have all mutated now?
She wondered if she should step out of the Extreme North to take a good look at how far Spirit Masters in the human World had developed.
If everyone was like Lin Qingmo, then there would be no room for Spirit Beasts to survive.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Tsk, every time I think of your spirit ring years, I feel like other Spirit Beasts lived the first half of their lives for nothing.
Not just talking about others.
She was also talking about herself.
Liu Erlong couldn’t help but take a gulp of wine.
Envy, jealousy, and all sorts of emotions twisted together.
Her first ring back then, after struggling so hard, was only four-hundred-plus years.
Comparing goods leads to throwing them away, comparing people... makes one want to hit a wall!
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Wait! You just mentioned greed, the fourth ring... you kid, you couldn’t be thinking of... After a bit of thought, a terrifying idea flashed through her mind.
Liu Erlong suddenly sat up straight, her drunkenness mostly gone.
[Daddy Douluo]: That’s right, for the fourth spirit ring, I plan to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
