Yu Xiaogang was very satisfied with Tang San's performance, and with a slightly smug smile, he pressed him back down.
"Don't get excited yet. As a teacher, I naturally hope my disciple can become better!"
"Grandmaster, what method is it exactly?!" Tang San's eyes were filled with hope; this concerned whether he could straighten his back and summon his Spirit now!
Seeing him so anxious, Yu Xiaogang stopped playing coy and said solemnly, "This method is for changing spirit rings!"
"Changing spirit rings?!" Tang San was stunned for a moment.
These two words were simple and easy to understand; it wasn't that he couldn't grasp them.
But this concept heavily conflicted with the education he had received since childhood.
"Grandmaster, shouldn't the spirit rings a Spirit Master obtains be unchangeable?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded, confirming Tang San's statement.
However, his expression grew somewhat grave.
"Indeed, they cannot be changed normally!"
"Cannot be changed normally?!" Tang San keenly caught the key information in Yu Xiaogang's words.
How was it abnormal?
Tang San quickly asked, "Grandmaster, are the conditions very harsh?"
"That's right!"
Yu Xiaogang's answer was direct and affirmative, without any hesitation.
"…" Receiving his answer, Tang San immediately fell silent.
Changing spirit rings!
This was something out of a fantasy.
Tang San didn't know how great a price he would have to pay!
He figured it wouldn't be small.
But he wasn't afraid!
"Grandmaster, your disciple is willing to try!" Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang firmly and said in a deep voice.
"Haha… It's certainly good that you have this determination and confidence!" Yu Xiaogang smiled with relief, then shook his head apologetically, "However, currently, I don't know how to do it either!"
Tang San quietly watched him, anticipating his next words.
He understood his Grandmaster; he wouldn't say these things to him without a certain degree of certainty.
Yu Xiaogang gave him an appreciative look.
Then he slowly recounted what he knew.
"This method is a secret technique of a group in the Spirit Master's world called the Speed Clan! It is roughly divided into two steps: consuming a spirit ring and changing a spirit ring!"
"Speed Clan?"
Tang San murmured, his eyes filled with surprise.
This was something he had never heard of.
Ignoring Tang San's confusion, Yu Xiaogang continued speaking on his own.
"The inherited Spirit of the Speed Clan's main lineage is the Needle Tailed Swift. Their clansmen are all Spirit Masters with a singular speed attribute, and they are one of the typical supporters of the extreme flow in the Spirit Master's world."
"Specializing in speed is also something they couldn't help… because the Needle Tailed Swift Spirit has a major drawback, which is… they cannot cultivate any offensive Spirit Abilities, otherwise their spirit power will stagnate, and they will never be able to break through!"
"This kind of thing would be extremely unwilling for anyone!"
"Therefore, some clansmen in the Speed Clan would also try to attach offensive Spirit Abilities. After failing to achieve offensive capabilities, for their future development, they would have to remove their existing spirit rings, then re-absorb them and start over!"
Yu Xiaogang's introduction did not mention the Clear Sky Sect at all.
This included the other three of the Four Single-Attribute Sects.
Without Tang Hao's permission, he dared not let Tang San know too much.
Therefore, his introduction was limited only to the origin of the Speed Clan's secret technique of consuming and changing spirit rings.
"You should just get a basic understanding of these things for now! Regarding the Speed Clan, don't ask too much; when the time comes, you will naturally know everything!"
Yu Xiaogang raised his hand, stopping Tang San's urge to ask questions.
Tang San hesitated, wanting to speak.
Although he was curious, his Grandmaster doing this must be for his own good.
Tang San no longer delved deeply into the Speed Clan.
He refocused his thoughts on the problem he currently faced.
"But… Grandmaster, this is their secret technique. Where can I find them? And what should I do to make them willing to help me?"
"The time is not yet ripe; I cannot take you to find them." Yu Xiaogang shook his head.
Without Tang Hao's support, he dared not act rashly.
Just the two of them, master and disciple, couldn't guarantee their safety.
He said this, however, only to comfort Tang San and tell him not to dwell too much on his third spirit ring.
"The time is not ripe?!"
Tang San frowned. Was there a specific 'time' for this?
He glanced at his Grandmaster.
Tang San increasingly felt that he was… no!
It should be said that when he spoke of the Speed Clan, he seemed a bit off.
He seemed to be deliberately concealing something!
"Hiss~ Grandmaster!" Tang San covered his head, his eyes full of confusion.
Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San's head a hard smack with the back of his hand.
He glared at him.
"Put away your cleverness! You'll know when it's time for you to know…"
"Right now, you just need to become strong! As long as you become strong, everything else will get better!"
"Become strong?"
Tang San was stunned for a moment and didn't ask anything further.
He also had his own thoughts…
Perhaps, those things his Grandmaster couldn't tell him… were related to his father's background!
"I understand, Grandmaster!"
"Very good!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction and smiled mysteriously.
Tang San and the Speed Clan had quite a connection.
He wasn't too worried about these things.
As long as Tang San's talent could be recognized by them, everything would fall into place naturally!
"Alright, we've talked so much without realizing it. Next, let's properly study your opponent!"
Yu Xiaogang had already learned some things about Ye Qiu from Zhao Wuji, and he became interested in Ye Qiu's Spirit Ability and Spirit.
"Next, you will tell me in detail about your battle with Ye Qiu."
"Yes, Grandmaster!" Tang San was overjoyed.
In his heart, Yu Xiaogang was a true master of theory.
He believed that with Yu Xiaogang's involvement.
With his targeted theoretical guidance.
He would definitely feel much more at ease when facing Ye Qiu.
He might even find Ye Qiu's flaws, defeat him with them, or even kill him! And then reclaim Xiao Wu.
Suppressing the joy in his heart.
Tang San began to recount his encounters with Ye Qiu one by one.
"During our first encounter, your disciple fell into his illusion…"
…
Just as the master and disciple were reviewing and studying Ye Qiu's Spirit and Spirit Abilities.
Movement finally stirred in the three girls' dormitory.
Ye Qiu opened his drowsy eyes.
What met his gaze was a flushed, beautiful face.
Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and a fragrant scent lingered at his nose.
Willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips.
Half-asleep, half-awake, he felt himself holding a beauty in his arms.
He seemed to still be doing massage work in his dream.
On the narrow single bed.
Xiao Wu was hugging Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu was hugging Zhu Zhuqing.
Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing looked into each other's eyes and blinked.
He gently and tentatively tried, as if unsure, and indeed felt her suddenly accelerated heartbeat.
"Mmm~"
The suddenly increased strength made Zhu Zhuqing let out a muffled groan.
Her beautiful eyes were shy, and her cherry lips, bitten by herself, parted slightly.
A gentle voice, whispering in his ear and tickling his heart: "Ye Qiu… it's, it's time to get up."
"Zhuqing… I want to sleep a little longer!" Ye Qiu didn't want to let go and instead tightened his embrace.
"N-no, Xiao Wu and the others are awake," Zhu Zhuqing's body was tense, but it didn't affect Ye Qiu's experience in the slightest.
The soft parts were still soft.
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, gently shook his body, and carefully felt the information coming from his back.
Although Xiao Bai, Xiao Wu, couldn't compare to the growth of the big cat, Zhuqing.
Ye Qiu could still distinguish it.
At this moment, Xiao Wu should still be lying behind him.
And her slender long legs were still resting on him, and her arms were still wrapped around his waist.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's shyness didn't seem fake.
After making a decision in his heart, Ye Qiu's hands and head went their separate ways.
While still practicing the techniques Ning Rongrong taught him with his hands.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Wu.
Immediately, a pair of crimson, resentful, and shy almond eyes met his gaze.
Xiao Wu propped up half her body, gave him a faint look, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
Her rabbit lips pouted: "Xiao Qiu~ We've been waiting for you for a long time, aren't you done playing yet?"
"Uh, Xiao Wu, good morning!" Ye Qiu chuckled awkwardly.
He hadn't expected her to actually be awake, considering Zhu Zhuqing's feelings.
After a final review of the massage recipe Ning Rongrong had taught, he reluctantly withdrew his hands.
"You two chat first… I, I'll go wash up first!" Feeling a sudden lightness on her body, Zhu Zhuqing immediately got up.
She quickly walked towards the bathroom, while adjusting her loose nightgown that was about to slip off.
Looking from behind, her steps were a bit flustered, and her earlobes seemed to have blood beads.
Being stared at by Xiao Wu, Ye Qiu couldn't help but rub his nose.
There seemed to be some lingering fragrance.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable from being stared at, Ye Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wu slightly furrowed her delicate brows and rolled her eyes at him.
Then she lowered her head and gently bit Ye Qiu's lips.
Besides sweetness, Ye Qiu also tasted a hint of sourness.
Xiao Wu left a tooth mark, then looked at him shyly and said, "Xiao Qiu! I have everything you could want~ Will you hug me next time, okay?"
As she spoke, she straightened her body and rubbed against the person next to her.
"Uh…" Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, so that's how it was.
Seeing that Ye Qiu still seemed a little hesitant.
Xiao Wu bit her red lips and added, "You can hug me however you want, anywhere you want!"
"Cough cough… I-I understand, next time for sure!"
Listening to her increasingly outrageous words, Ye Qiu nodded repeatedly.
"That's good! I'll go wash up first. Once I'm done, I'll help you get ready! Kiss~"
Leaving behind a trace of sweet, clear moisture.
Xiao Wu quickly ran into the bathroom, and as soon as she entered, she reached out her hand and took a good feel.
Zhu Zhuqing's startled cry came from inside.
"Whew~"
It was early morning, when the yang energy was just rising.
Ye Qiu lay flat on the bed and let out a hot breath.
The playful sounds of the two girls came to his ears, and he came to his senses.
"Speaking of which… Where's Rongrong? Is she still cultivating?"
He glanced to his left and right, but there was no one on the bed.
He was about to raise his head to check.
His eyes suddenly widened!
In his line of sight, a pair of jade feet descended from above.
At the same time, Ning Rongrong's angry voice rang in his ears: "Ye Qiu! Die!"
"Hey! Rongrong… Ugh, puff! Cough cough…"
Ning Rongrong, wearing a nightgown with thin straps, had already stepped on Ye Qiu's chest with her two delicate little feet.
This made Ye Qiu short of breath and almost made him spit out his saliva.
"You good-for-nothing Ye Qiu! Miss worked so hard cultivating, and I had to wait for you to get up, and you're so engrossed in your tender embrace that you actually forgot about Miss!"
Ning Rongrong, standing on Ye Qiu's body, put her hands on her hips, her gaze sweeping over his chest, as she glared down at Ye Qiu fiercely.
Ye Qiu found it a little difficult to breathe. He reached out and held Ning Rongrong's ankles, looking at her strangely.
"Rongrong… When did I forget you?"
With her feet held by Ye Qiu, two blushes appeared on Ning Rongrong's face.
But her momentum did not decrease, and she let out a delicate shout.
"You did!"
"You only remembered me at the very end! I was watching from the foot of the bed just now!"
"I really didn't forget you, I just wasn't fully awake yet…" Ye Qiu looked at the two straight, beautiful jade legs exposed beneath her strapped dress, finding it hard to tear his eyes away.
Ning Rongrong naturally noticed his gaze and felt a little smug.
Still, she pouted unhappily: "Hmph hmph… Not awake? Then I ask you, if Xiao Wu and I slept with you? Would you wake up holding Xiao Wu?"
"Uh…" Ye Qiu was momentarily silent.
This was just his subconscious choice.
After all, who could refuse a pillow that was both full and soft?!
"Don't think, answer me quickly!" Ning Rongrong raised her pretty eyebrows, and her feet pressed down slightly, warning Ye Qiu.
"Cough cough…" Ye Qiu felt a headache coming on, but he still tried his best to answer her question seriously: "I don't know when I'm asleep, and it's not necessarily the case when I wake up."
"Oh, you! You're perfunctory with me… What kind of answer is that?" Ning Rongrong wanted to stomp her feet, but she was afraid of actually hurting Ye Qiu.
So she just made a long face and huffed: "I think you hold Xiao Wu whether you're asleep or awake!"
"Just like today, your hands weren't well-behaved when you were asleep, and you were still touching Zhuqing when you woke up!"
"…" Ye Qiu opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't refute, after all, the living example was right in front of him.
After a moment of thought, he still said, "Rongrong~ Today was just an accident."
"You better be!"
Ning Rongrong glared at him angrily, then looked at her small figure with discouragement, feeling utterly exasperated.
In the end, this stinky guy still liked the bigger ones!
"Hmph! Miss will be merciful and let you off today, but if you really dare to neglect me in the future, I won't spare you!"
With a cold snort, Ning Rongrong finally got off Ye Qiu and stood beside him.
"Whew~" Ye Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He quietly glanced at the blue and white above, and couldn't help but remind her: "Rongrong, it's best not to stand too high when dressed like this in the future!"
"Ah~!"
Noticing Ye Qiu's gaze, Ning Rongrong immediately let out a startled cry.
She was extremely shy.
She quickly and frantically brought her legs together, bent her knees, and covered her skirt.
Then, as if she thought of something, she straightened up again, her face flushed.
Letting Ye Qiu admire her.
"Cough cough… Rongrong, what are you doing?" Ye Qiu almost choked, looking at her strangely.
"Hmph! Zhuqing can spoil you, and so can I!" Ning Rongrong's cheeks were burning hot, her neck flushed, and her heart was pounding.
She still felt a little ashamed about this kind of thing.
But thinking about how she was stopped by Zhu Zhuqing when she woke up and was about to wake Ye Qiu, she just went for it.
If he likes to look, then let him! Anyway, she would be completely eaten sooner or later.
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly. Could this also be a competition?
Looking at Ning Rongrong, who was still huffing and acting arrogant.
Ye Qiu naturally understood the essence of the question she had just asked.
He also wanted to comfort her properly.
Anyway, he hadn't had his fill just now.
"Rongrong~ Don't be angry anymore~ How about I give you a massage during this time? Activating your blood in the morning is very effective," Ye Qiu gently stroked Ning Rongrong's calf and said softly.
Ye Qiu clearly noticed that she trembled a little after hearing his suggestion.
"Really?"
She squatted down with a flushed face, pinching the hem of her clothes, looking at Ye Qiu with a shy and happy expression, and even glanced towards the bathroom as if she were a thief.
Ye Qiu quickly nodded: "Really! Let's hurry."
"Then, then let's begin!" Ning Rongrong felt her whole body burning, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Okay!" Ye Qiu responded in a deep voice, pulled up the quilt, covered the two of them, and set up a simple workspace.
After a while.
A blushing Zhu Zhuqing finally walked out of the bathroom, and Xiao Wu was in a similar state.
Looking at the large, motionless lump of quilt on the bed.
They seemed to hear some faint, sobbing sounds.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu exchanged glances, question marks appearing above their heads.
Xiao Wu walked to the side of the bed and leaned over.
She raised her index finger and poked the large, tightly wrapped, still wiggling quilt.
She called out softly.
"Xiao Qiu~ It's time to wash up~"
The quilt became motionless.
Ning Rongrong's voice also gradually disappeared.
A moment later.
Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong poked their heads out.
"Ye Qiu, what… what are you doing?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at him strangely.
Ye Qiu chuckled and shook his head.
Looking at Ning Rongrong, who was still a little breathless and had sweat on her forehead.
He simply lifted the quilt generously to make her feel better, since he hadn't done anything anyway.
Moreover, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had seen Ning Rongrong in a bad state before.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly at Ning Rongrong, who was like a pile of mud.
Her body was flushed, the saliva at the corners of her mouth was somewhat uncontrollable, and her two beautiful legs were pressed together.
The two girls also understood a little.
She must have thrown another tantrum and been thoroughly comforted by Ye Qiu.
"Rongrong~ You rest well." Ye Qiu gently stroked her face, and incidentally helped her wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth.
Ning Rongrong shook her head dazedly.
Ye Qiu's eyelids twitched.
It seemed that practice makes perfect was not just an empty phrase.
His massage skills had greatly improved, with quick results and a longer period of surging blood!
"Xiao Qiu~ You go wash up first!" Xiao Wu pulled Ye Qiu towards the bathroom.
"Oh, oh… Okay!" Ye Qiu bent down and followed closely behind.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong, couldn't help but shake her head, and turned to tidy up the other two beds.
Soon, under Xiao Wu's care, Ye Qiu, who had finished washing up, sat back down on the bed.
Ning Rongrong had also almost recovered. With her legs clamped together, she went into the bathroom and changed into a fresh set of clothes.
At this moment, her face was just a little red, and her body was still a little soft.
After coming out of the bathroom, she directly squeezed into Ye Qiu's arms.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who had slept with Ye Qiu last night, also tacitly said nothing more.
"Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, I'll take you away from Shrek Academy! We'll go to Heaven Dou Imperial City, the environment there is more suitable for your cultivation!"
Ye Qiu brought up his thoughts from last night.
"No problem, wherever Xiao Qiu goes, I'll go!" As expected, Xiao Wu naturally had no objections; she just needed to be able to follow Ye Qiu.
However, Zhu Zhuqing, who was beside Xiao Wu, had a troubled expression.
She seemed to be struggling with something.
"Zhuqing, what's wrong?" Ye Qiu looked at her strangely.
"I'm sorry… Ye Qiu! I can't leave yet," Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and replied softly.
I wish everyone a pleasant time!
