The arrival of the royal family member caused a sensation throughout the small town.
Almost everyone, upon hearing this news, immediately dropped what they were doing and headed towards the small town's bulletin board.
Yu Xiaogang and the others exchanged glances, smiles appearing on everyone's faces.
"I was just thinking about finding someone of status to inquire about the detailed situation of the Sun Moon Continent, and now a royal family member has arrived."
"This is truly a coincidence."
Gu Rong said.
"I just don't know what kind of strength this so-called royal family member has. It's best if it's the type who knows a lot but isn't very strong."
Yu Xiaogang also chimed in.
"Speaking of which, for such a public event, generally speaking, there would be a large number of attendants, right?"
"So, are we going to directly fight our way up?"
Yue Guan suddenly thought of this.
And this question also made everyone frown.
This truly was a problem.
For the next period of time, they would still be traveling here in the Sun Moon Continent. If they were wanted because of this, then the subsequent itinerary wouldn't be as relaxing as it was now.
As for disguises and face-changing, although they could do them, the problem was that their Spirit could not be hidden.
Whenever they fought, they had to reveal their Spirit, and once the Spirit was revealed, it was the best marker of personal identity.
Of course, Yu Xiaogang and the others could also choose not to reveal their Spirit in future journeys, but they wouldn't be able to join in on anything related to combat or Spirits.
Or perhaps the guards beside that royal family member were so weak that their group could easily defeat them without even revealing their Spirit.
"Let's take a look first. Maybe the royal family member is just followed by some people putting up a front?"
Yu Xiaogang said.
A few days later, outside the small town.
A row of luxurious small Soul Power carts drove in the center of the road, and among these Soul Power carts, the medium-sized one right in the middle was the most conspicuous.
Through the car windows, anyone with decent eyesight could see the luxurious decorations inside.
However, at this moment, the residents of the small town had no mind to observe the decorations in the vehicle; their gazes were all concentrated on the middle-aged man whose upper body was exposed through the sunroof of the Soul Power cart.
"Oh heavens, it really is Grand Duke Dulan!"
"One of the Empire's most outstanding spirit tool blacksmiths, with Disciples all over the world, known as the 'Saintly Teacher Dulan', I actually get to see such a big figure in my lifetime!"
"Praise the Empire, they were even willing to send such a big figure to inspect various places. I cannot imagine how good our future lives will become once this saintly teacher reports it upward."
"Wuwuwu, I actually get to see the saintly teacher once. Even if I died right now, I would have no regrets."
"I also study blacksmithing. I really want to listen to the saintly teacher's class. Even if it bankrupts my family, I'm willing."
"Stop dreaming. Among the younger generation of blacksmiths in our Sun Moon Empire, who wouldn't want to listen to the saintly teacher's class? It's a pity that for some reason, the saintly teacher hasn't accepted students since a few years ago. Sigh, what a pity."
"It must be that the saintly teacher has some important research. I know all too well the pain of mentoring students; you can never imagine what kind of questions your students will ask that will make your blood pressure spike."
"Ah~, now that you put it that way, I truly understand."
"..."
The citizens on the roadside were discussing animatedly, mostly topics related to Grand Duke Dulan.
Within the crowd, Yu Xiaogang and the others had also inquired early on during these past few days about the arriving person this time and his intelligence.
Grand Duke Dulan Xu Shouyi, known as the Saintly Teacher Dulan, was a rank-eight powerhouse (Spirit Douluo), and at the same time, a rank-eight spirit tool master.
Based on the information gathered from inquiring, this Grand Duke Dulan was a good person who loved to lecture others, was good at teaching, and would not easily hide his secrets.
His Disciple spread all over the Sun Moon Continent, and most of these Disciples had achieved extraordinary accomplishments in a certain aspect.
This also caused people in the Sun Moon Continent who knew about this Grand Duke Dulan to hold him in high regard, yearning to become one of his students.
"Interesting. I was just curious about the situation of spirit tool masters, and now a rank-eight spirit tool master has popped out. I wonder what kind of tricks those spirit tools can play in his hands."
Gu Rong stared curiously at Grand Duke Dulan, who had a benign expression inside the Soul Power cart as he greeted the surrounding citizens.
"Uncle Gu, we agreed beforehand, this time we shouldn't resort to violence unless necessary, and everything will be up to Flender."
Yu Xiaogang glanced at the itching-to-fight Gu Rong and whispered a reminder.
However, despite saying that, the look of interest in Yu Xiaogang's eyes was not the least bit less.
Soon, the motorcade drove into the small town. Grand Duke Dulan got out of the car, and following the procedure, first went to look at the town yamen, and then strolled around the small town for a circle.
"Lord Grand Duke, ahead is our town's Spirit Center."
"All Spirit Masters and spirit tool masters born in our town are registered on record, and those who are still in town are also waiting there for your teachings."
The middle-aged man responsible for receiving Grand Duke Dulan smiled as he showed the other party the gathering place of the town's Spirit Masters.
"Mm, let's go in and take a look."
Grand Duke Dulan Xu Shouyi looked at the Spirit Center in front of him with little interest, and expressionlessly followed the middle-aged man inside.
The middle-aged man leading the way in front looked at Xu Shouyi's appearance and couldn't help feeling nervous in his heart.
"Was my explanation very boring? Why does Lord Grand Duke have no interest at all?"
Thinking for a moment, the middle-aged man decided to toss out some interesting topics to attract Xu Shouyi's attention.
"That's right, Lord Grand Duke, recently our town's Spirit Center has a newly arrived young man with extraordinary talent. His name is Flender, and at only twenty-seven years old, he is already a rank-six powerhouse (Spirit Emperor)."
"According to his talent, in the future he might be expected to grow into a rank-nine powerhouse (Titled Douluo). If possible, I wonder if Lord Grand Duke could give some pointers to this young man?"
Recalling the young man who joined the town's Spirit Center two days ago, the middle-aged man couldn't help feeling somewhat excited inside.
To reach rank six at only twenty-seven years old, this talent was simply outrageous!
"What did you say?!"
Clearly, the middle-aged man's topic caught Xu Shouyi's attention. He looked at the middle-aged man in shock, as if asking "Do you know what you are saying?".
A rank-six powerhouse at twenty-seven years old—Xu Shouyi had certainly seen such people, but that person was a renowned Genius and peerless monster proclaimed throughout the entire Empire.
The higher-ups of the Empire truly held that person in the palm of their hands for fear they might melt, and even spoke afraid that too loud a voice would disturb the other party.
Usually, no matter what request the other party had, a group of people would scramble to help complete it.
With that posture of stars surrounding the moon, even someone of Xu Shouyi's status couldn't squeeze into those stars holding up the moon.
From this, it was evident how precious such a Genius was.
But now, the person right in front of him was telling him that right in this small town, inside this dilapidated Spirit Center, there was a wild Genius who reached rank six at twenty-seven years old.
"Are you sure you aren't talking nonsense after eating wild mushrooms?!"
