Born into a great family, Jin Yuting was not ignorant or naive.
Ever since her martial soul awakened, Golden Crocodile Douluo had never gone to see her again.
She naturally understood that it was her talent that had brought shame to the family.
Because of this, after entering the academy, she listened carefully in class every day. After class, while the other children played, she devoted herself to cultivating Spirit Power.
In this world, where innate Spirit Power determined one's worth, effort and sweat meant very little.
With only innate Level 5 Spirit Power, no matter how hard she tried, her cultivation was still surpassed by children with innate Level 7 or higher who spent their days playing around.
As she grew older, she came to understand Golden Crocodile Douluo's difficulties.
The descendants of the Worship Hall were watched by countless eyes. If outsiders learned of her talent, it would only bring ridicule and mockery.
As her understanding of Spirit Master theory deepened, she learned that Spirit Sage was the limit for someone with innate Level 5 Spirit Power. Beyond that, further breakthroughs were nearly impossible.
Spirit Sage was a goal countless commoners dreamed of reaching, but in a family like hers, it was far too weak.
Even so, she never gave up on herself. Every day, she continued cultivating steadily and without complaint.
Inside the library.
Jin Tianchen finally found her there.
Looking around at the nearly deserted library, Jin Tianchen could not help sighing.
The last person who had come here often to read was Wu Qi. Now he had become one of the Worship Hall's key talents, almost guaranteed to become a Titled Douluo, with limitless prospects.
Both had worked hard, yet their lives had turned out completely differently. It was hard not to feel emotional about it.
"Ting'er?"
At the gentle call, Jin Yuting slowly raised her head.
To avoid bringing shame upon the family, father and daughter had never been allowed to acknowledge each other openly.
She stood up slowly and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Headmaster."
Jin Tianchen hurried forward, tears filling his eyes, and pulled her into an embrace.
"Ting'er, my good daughter, you have suffered so much. Your grandfather has brought you an opportunity to transform. From now on, we no longer need to pretend to be strangers."
A father and daughter unable to acknowledge each other, how cruel was that?
If events had followed the original timeline, Golden Crocodile Douluo's actions would indeed have protected his granddaughter.
When Spirit Hall fell, its experts would inevitably be purged. Since Jin Yuting had been cut off from the family since childhood, no one would suspect her background.
But with her talent, revenge would have been hopeless. Her later years would have been consumed by hatred.
Fortunately, Wu Qi's appearance changed everything.
The future Spirit Hall would finally return to the right path.
Jin Tianchen carried his daughter all the way back to the headmaster's office.
Along the way, many teachers and students whispered among themselves.
The headmaster, who usually buried himself in academic research, had suddenly appeared today and was carrying Jin Yuting in his arms. Their relationship was obvious.
But Jin Tianchen did not care.
After today, his daughter would become one of the continent's top geniuses. Rumors would shatter on their own.
Back in the office, faced with her grandfather the peak Super Douluo, Jin Yuting was terrified and nervous, even hiding behind Jin Tianchen.
Golden Crocodile Douluo felt bitterness in his heart. He forced a kind smile onto his face.
"Ting'er your grandfather was wrong in the past..."
The warmth between grandfather and granddaughter gradually eased the fear in her heart, and Jin Yuting stepped closer to him.
Golden Crocodile Douluo did not forget the purpose of his visit. He took out the Earthgold Dragon Root and handed it to Jin Yuting.
"Eat this. From now on, Ting'er will also be a genius with full innate Spirit Power, and the pride of your grandfather."
The spiritual energy contained within the Earthgold Dragon Root was intoxicating.
Even though Jin Yuting did not fully understand it, the reaction of her martial soul made her instinctively accept the immortal herb.
Golden Crocodile Douluo reminded him,
"Chen'er, record everything carefully. This may become an excellent direction for theoretical research."
How could Jin Tianchen dare hesitate? As Jin Yuting absorbed the immortal herb, he quickly picked up paper and pen, recording every change happening to her body.
About three hours later.
A powerful dragon's might erupted from Jin Yuting's body.
Her martial soul automatically emerged and began to evolve.
The limbs of the Golden Crocodile transformed into sharp dragon claws, and the strength of its bloodline rose dramatically.
"This is martial soul evolution!"
Jin Tianchen's eyes widened in shock.
Witnessing the process of a Martial Soul evolving firsthand was immensely valuable for theoretical research.
Even more so when the person undergoing the evolution was his own daughter.
Excitement, pride, and vindication mixed together. His breathing quickened, his eyes burned with emotion, and he wrote furiously, recording every detail.
Another half hour later, the medicinal power of the immortal herb had fully fused into her body.
Jin Yuting opened her eyes, unable to contain her excitement.
"Grandfather, Father, I... my..."
"Golden Dragon Crocodile!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo threw back his head and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! The Golden Crocodile family finally has a worthy successor!"
In terms of bloodline strength, the Golden Dragon Crocodile was equal to the Golden Crocodile King. Combined with her improved talent, his position finally had someone capable of inheriting it in the future.
"Grandfather, my Spirit Power has broken through Level 10. And I can feel that after absorbing a Spirit Ring, I won't be far from Level 20."
After two years of cultivation, her Spirit Power had already reached Level 9.5.
Because her original Spirit Power was lower, the boost from the immortal herb was proportionally much greater.
The excess Spirit Power also greatly strengthened her body, meaning her first Spirit Ring could now be chosen from a much higher age range.
At that moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo felt immense gratitude toward Wu Qi.
For the entire Golden Crocodile family, this was nothing less than a life-changing favor.
Golden Crocodile Douluo secretly decided that whatever proposal Wu Qi made in the future, he would be the first to step forward in support.
Of course, the other Worship Hall elders shared the same thoughts.
At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Wu Qi had no idea what the elders were thinking.
During training that day, he handed the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique Manual to Feng Xiaotian.
Wu Qi had already read through it beforehand. After comparing it to the Spirit Luan Art, he found many similarities.
He was not a member of the Clear Sky Clan, so he had no obligation to keep the technique hidden.
Wu Qi had deliberately removed the cover of the manual so Feng Xiaotian would not recognize its origin.
"Captain, is this the complete technique you trained in?"
Feng Xiaotian was deeply moved, but could not help asking.
If a cultivation method were leaked and obtained by others, it could expose one's weaknesses.
Unless between family members or master and disciple, such techniques were rarely passed to outsiders.
How could Feng Xiaotian not be touched when Wu Qi handed this to him?
Wu Qi smiled and shook his head.
"No. This is the original foundation of the technique. My Spirit Luan Art was self-created based on it."
"Keep it safe. You must not reveal it to anyone, not your family, not your friends."
The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was one of the Clear Sky Clan's core arts. If exposed, it would bring deadly consequences.
That was why Wu Qi spoke so seriously.
Feng Xiaotian's expression turned solemn.
When he received the manual, it felt as heavy as a thousand jin.
After storing it in his storage tool, he cupped his fists and said,
"Teacher Sun, I need to study this technique first. I probably won't be able to participate in team training for the next few days."
At present, Team Emperor Dou Second Squad was still incomplete, so missing training was not a major issue.
Moreover, their current tactics were centered entirely around Wu Qi. Feng Xiaotian mainly played a supporting role, so his absence would not greatly affect the team.
Sun Buyu never interfered with personal choices. Since Wu Qi did not object, he immediately approved the leave.
But he still added a reminder.
"Cultivation combined with real combat often produces twice the result with half the effort. So I hope you'll still try not to miss the spirit fighting matches each night."
