Three days later, Tianlin bid farewell to Rongrong, Chen Xin, and the others, and returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy once again.
He was supposed to leave two days ago, but Ning Rongrong cried and refused to let him go, so Tianlin had no choice but to stay with her for two more days.
After returning to Heaven Dou City, Tianlin didn't go directly to the Royal Academy, but went to the palace to inform Xue Qinghe that he had returned.
Although this guy was disguised as a man, his heart was still that of a woman. A woman's pettiness was fully displayed in her. If he didn't go to see her as soon as he returned, he would definitely be resented by her for a long time afterward.
Because of the Crown Prince Token, Tianlin didn't need to report to enter the East Palace. It was noon, which should have been lunchtime, but Xue Qinghe was still dealing with government affairs. He had to maintain his diligent Crown Prince image at all times.
Because of his performance, many ministers who were originally neutral leaned towards him. After all, the only remaining princes were him and Xue Beng. If they didn't choose him, would they choose Prince Xue Beng, who was known for his wankong and arrogance?
"Your Highness, Crown Prince, Young Master Tianlin is here!" A maid whispered in Xue Qinghe's ear.
Because Tianlin had visited many times, the people in the East Palace already knew him. They all knew that Tianlin was barely considered the Crown Prince's fellow apprentice, and even more so his close friend.
"Xiao Tian, you're back!" Xue Qinghe put down the government affairs in his hand and said with joy as he stood up.
"Yes, Snow Brother, I have successfully obtained my Second Spirit Ring. I just returned today and came to visit you, Brother!" Tianlin behaved politely, which made Xue Qinghe a little dissatisfied.
"Xiao Tian, I've told you many times, you don't need to be so restrained when you come to me, just be casual." Xue Qinghe then ordered the maids, "You all go down, I want to catch up with my junior brother."
She thought that Tianlin had to pretend to be like this because there were many outsiders present.
In fact, Tianlin really didn't want to have too deep a relationship with Xue Qinghe, because after days of contact, this person was indeed a very charming person. If she restored Qian Renxue's image, she would probably be even more captivating.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be enemies. If they were too close, Tianlin was worried that he would not be able to bring himself to attack her one day. Then he would be the one to die.
The current situation was just right. Although there was contact, they maintained a certain distance. She used Heaven Snow Power to speed up her cultivation, and he also used the Nüwa Emperor Meditation Method to help her purify her Spirit Power. Neither of them owed the other anything. Even if the truth came out in the future, her killing him would not be ungrateful, and his killing her would not be unrighteous.
"By the way, Xiao Tian, can you let Snow Brother take a look at your Second Spirit Ring?" Xue Qinghe walked to Tianlin's side and asked. What she cared about most was Tianlin's cultivation. The stronger Tianlin was, the stronger the Heaven Snow Power would be.
Once Tianlin reached the same level as her, their cultivation speed would increase several times. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before she could return to Spirit Hall and take back the position of Pope from that woman.
"Okay!" Tianlin nodded. He wouldn't talk about his Second Spirit and External Spirit Bone, which could be hidden, but he couldn't hide his Second Spirit Ring even if he wanted to. He couldn't not use it during battle.
Thus, as the Demon Sword was summoned, two Spirit Rings, one yellow and one purple, began to rise slowly.
"Purple, Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!" Xue Qinghe was shocked. He hunted a Thousand-Year Soul Beast for his Second Spirit Ring. Even she wouldn't dare to do that.
"Yes, Snow Brother, my Second Spirit Ring is taken from a Thousand-Year Purple Fire Golden Eyes Beast."
"That's too reckless. How could Sword Douluo Your Excellency allow you to do such a dangerous thing!" Xue Qinghe was immediately angry. She didn't know about the existence of Tianlin's Second Spirit, so she only felt a burst of fear for his adventurous behavior.
"She, is she worried about me?" Tianlin was slightly stunned. He felt that Xue Qinghe was really angry just now, and this anger was caused by concern. Could it be that in her heart, he was not just a cultivation cheat?
"Snow Brother, I'm fine, don't worry. Since awakening my Spirit, my body has become stronger day by day. Even when I absorbed the Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, I didn't feel any pain." Unconsciously, Tianlin comforted Xue Qinghe.
One was seven or eight years old, and the other was seventeen or eighteen years old, about ten years apart, but at this time, it looked like a younger brother was comforting his older brother.
Xue Qinghe smiled, "Forget it, it's good that you're okay, Xiao Tian, promise Brother, you must never do such a dangerous thing again in the future."
"This time you were lucky. Your Spirit Ring is very light purple, it should have just passed a thousand years, and the Purple Fire Golden Eyes Beast itself is also a Soul Beast with weak attack power. Many factors allowed you to pass the danger safely. You may not have such good luck next time, understand?"
"Don't worry, I promise I won't do it again in the future!" Tianlin solemnly promised in order to reassure him. Of course, he definitely wouldn't abide by it.
In order to become stronger, absorbing Spirit Rings beyond his level was his fastest way.
Hearing Tianlin's guarantee, Xue Qinghe completely put down his anger. After Tianlin finished lunch in the East Palace, the two of them cultivated together with Heaven Snow Power for two hours before Tianlin bid farewell and left.
During cultivation, Xue Qinghe noticed that Tianlin's spirit power had reached the peak of level 22, and he was about to break through to level 23. As expected of a thousand-year Spirit Ring, the bonus to him was really significant.
"With Xiao Tian's cultivation speed, catching up with me is only a matter of time. I'm really looking forward to how powerful our two god-level Spirit's Spirit Fusion Skill will be." Looking at Tianlin's departing back, Xue Qinghe revealed a smile of anticipation.
By the time Tianlin returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it was already close to dusk. He went straight to the training ground. The group of nobles at Heaven Dou Royal Academy might not be able to stand the boring training and might have gone to enjoy the nightlife early.
But his group of friends wouldn't. They had an unparalleled desire to become stronger, and they would never go back without training until the sun went down.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the training ground, Teacher Qin Ming was leading them in practical combat exercises.
The Shi brothers were paired against Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's couple team.
"First Spirit Ability, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tianheng gathered lightning on his palm and struck Shi Mo, the elder brother of the Shi brothers, with a palm.
"Hehe, First Spirit Ability, Black Tortoise Shield!"
Shi Mo was unmoved. The Black Tortoise was indeed a top-tier defensive Spirit. Even a powerful beast Spirit like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon could not shake Shi Mo in the slightest. Not only did Yu Tianheng fail to break Shi Mo's defense, but he was also forced back by the rebounding force.
On the other side, Dugu Yan spat out Jade Scale Snake Venom, which was also completely blocked by Shi Mo's tortoise shell.
His tortoise shell was slightly different from his brother Shi Mo's. Shi Mo focused on enhancing his defensive power, while his was slightly weaker in defense, but could resist various abnormal states.
Unexpectedly, after a round of confrontation, the Shi brothers, who had weaker spirit power, were actually at an advantage.
