After briefly experiencing the brand-new Dragon Turtle Imperial Shield, Nangong Lingyun immediately returned to Kaiyuan Academy.
Having disappeared for over a month, the team's training could no longer be delayed.
Putting aside the future foundation, he had to take it seriously for the sake of the 'Cool Point'.
Also, the moment he appeared, a flash of lightning shone from afar towards the Bronze Sparrow Terrace.
Nangong Lingyun, having not eaten for twenty days, first went to the cafeteria and ordered a large table of food.
After teleporting back, he ate while asking Yuan Tiangang:
"What's the situation with the team now? During the time I was away, were there any conflicts?"
"There haven't been any conflicts. Jing Ling and Xiao Wu's strength are enough to keep things in order.
Even if the newcomers are somewhat unconvinced, they will automatically become obedient after the first day of training.
However, there's another problem: too many people are signing up.
Even when we actually accepted the first batch, anyone with a little talent came to try their luck. Even with the conditions and requirements clearly written at the academy entrance, it couldn't stop them.
Many people even gave up their positions as official team members in other academies to come here and join our regular classes.
There was even a Spirit Saint in his forties or fifties.
When I interviewed him, I thought he was applying to be a Teacher, but in the end, he actually wanted to become your disciple."
Nangong Lingyun: "…"
When the forest grows large, all kinds of birds appear.
Yuan Tiangang continued to introduce:
"Even after selecting the best from the best, the training camp still ended up recruiting twenty-nine people.
Currently, the male team has sixteen members: three Spirit Ancestors, five Spirit Elders, and four Spirit Grandmasters.
The female team has twenty-one members: four Spirit Ancestors, twelve Spirit Elders, and five Spirit Grandmasters.
The least experienced have already been training for fifteen days."
Nangong Lingyun ate his meal, as pages of information flew into the air and displayed themselves in order.
Soon, when he saw a particular name, the chewing motion in his mouth suddenly stopped.
His expression became incredibly strange for a moment, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
[Name]: Gu Na'er
[Age]: 12 years old
[Spirit]: White Dragon Silver Spear
[Spirit power]: Level 42
[spirit ring]: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple
There was no need for any doubt; anyone who had seen or even slightly understood some of the later works would instantly know who this was.
She was very likely the most exquisite beauty in the entire Douluo World view and the five timelines,
plus a God King-level bloodline, wielding a Creation Godhood, and also a standard 'Love Brain', Nangong Lingyun was naturally interested, even greatly so.
But what puzzled him was,
according to the original story, at this point in Time, Gu Yuena should still be healing, right?
Moreover, apart from being startled when contracting the Golden Lion-Tiger, it seemed like he hadn't had any other interaction with her.
Why would she appear in Kaiyuan Academy?
Even if she transformed because of that little interaction, this age simply doesn't match up.
"Forget it, cross the bridge when you get to it."
A gleam flashed in Nangong Lingyun's eyes, and he resumed eating.
He had already guessed that it was very likely the Silver Dragon King herself transforming, rather than a transformation like in Dou 3.
Transformation was a unique ability of ferocious Spirit Beast over two hundred thousand years, allowing them to change their appearance into humans without affecting their strength.
Transformation, on the other hand, was like Xiao Wu and Ah Yin, sealing all their power in a Beast Core and nurturing a true human body.
The methods were different,
and the purpose was, of course, completely different from Dragon King Legend. Perhaps she wanted to erase him or something.
But Nangong Lingyun's heart remained fearless, and he even felt a sense of eager anticipation.
If the other party didn't come out, he really wouldn't have any way to deal with her in the short term,
however, as long as she came out, no matter the reason, the System would teach her a lesson.
After finishing his meal,
Nangong Lingyun arrived at Phoenix Nest twenty minutes early to wait.
He had already memorized the information, but he still needed to meet the real people one by one.
Before long, he saw an extremely stunning woman walking gracefully from the opposite corridor.
Her silver short hair was exceptionally smooth and clean, as if it had been carefully polished from silver crystal,
and when the sunlight shone on it, it immediately reflected bright rays of Light.
When her head was shaken, it would ripple like mercury, exceptionally soft and smooth.
Even more eye-catching than her hair were her eyes, her purple pupils were clear and transparent, large and bright,
as if they were emitting some kind of Light from within, even able to reflect the surrounding scenery.
The texture of her skin was also exceptionally clean and white, and her face, atop her slender swan neck, was flawless, as if she had never experienced any hardship.
But all of this could not compare to the noble temperament that touched the heart.
She made Nangong Lingyun truly understand what it meant to stand out from the crowd, just like a peak-condition Liu Yifei suddenly appearing among a group of Luo Yu Fengs.
It was hard not to notice her.
When she entered the pavilion, Nangong Lingyun extended his right hand and took the initiative to greet her:
"You are Gu Na'er, right?"
"Sect Leader, hello. I am Gu Na'er, you can call me Na'er."
Gu Yuena smiled faintly, gently placed her small hand on his, and then separated immediately.
This brief contact made Nangong Lingyun feel strange in his heart.
It seemed to be different from what he had guessed before.
Her aura was actually truly that of a level 42 Spirit Ancestor, a purely human body, and her bone age was also twelve years old. She didn't seem to be hiding any power.
His Spirit is capable of insight, so it would not be easy to deceive him.
"It seems that the power of the Creation Godhood is even more extraordinary than imagined."
Nangong Lingyun secretly guessed in his heart,
but he did not delay on the surface, and he recognized the new members of the training camp one by one.
When everyone had arrived,
he said in a loud voice:
"I have already learned about your training progress from Dean Yuan Tiangang.
The least experienced have already persisted for fifteen days.
This first stage of training has two main purposes:
first, of course, is to make your bodies, qi and blood, and power become smooth, in preparation for adapting to higher-intensity Cultivation.
Second, Kaiyuan Sect has a kind of divine medicine that can greatly enhance physique and spirit in a short Time, without any future troubles. It is a necessary condition for an Ultimate spirit ring.
It needs smooth qi and blood to exert its maximum effect.
Depending on the age, top-quality divine medicines above 70,000 years can roughly increase the limit of the next spirit ring by one times.
From 40,000 to 69,999 years, about 40% to 70%.
Below 40,000 years, it is only less than 20%.
Regardless of the age of the divine medicine, the increased portion will permanently take effect on all subsequent spirit ring at the same rate.
For example, if you are currently a four spirit ring, and you calculate according to the same quality and compatible Spirit Beast, the original limit of the fifth spirit ring is 12,000 years. After using the 70,000-year divine medicine, the upper limit of the five, six, seven, eight, and nine spirit ring will all increase by at least 12,000 years.
Since the divine medicine is limited, once one is used, there is one less. In the past, it was generally only open to Sect disciples, and they must be core members with outstanding talent.
However, due to some special reasons, the Sect's strategy has changed,
and after discussion within the Sect, it was decided to make an exception for the training camp for a limited Time.
Everyone present can choose to join Kaiyuan Sect, exchange for Spirit Bone, or purchase with gold coin.
Among them, joining Kaiyuan Sect does not require any further cost, and all subsequent Cultivation resources are also the same.
For Spirit Bone, we only accept top-quality Spirit Bone above 40,000 years, corresponding to the same age of divine medicine, plus a Soul Spirit.
The average price of gold coin is 500,000 per 10,000 years, and you can only purchase up to 69,999 years of divine medicine.
I will give you a day off today. You can think about it carefully, or contact your family and friends. Tomorrow, we will temper the bodies of the members who purchased the divine medicine."
