Chapter 125: Meeting the Grandmaster

After Zhuqing ascended the throne, she set up a Teleportation Array in her bedroom at the imperial palace, allowing her to return directly to the Spirit Hall every day.

"Zhuqing, how does it feel to be the Empress?" Xiao Wu asked.

"I don't really feel anything right now. At first, I was a bit reluctant, but seeing the Empire developing so well now, I feel it's all worth it!" Zhuqing said.

"Then do you have nothing to do right now?" Lingling asked.

"I do! But since the Cabinet was established, there really isn't much to do under normal circumstances, except for major issues. It seems that Jerry being lazy and establishing the Cabinet back then was really useful!" Zhuqing said.

"What do you mean I was being lazy? A person's ability and energy are limited. Although these affairs distributed a lot of power, it allowed me to have more time to do the things I like. Besides, the reason Zhuqing has it so easy is, first, the military suppression of the Spirit Hall, and second, she directly copied the Spirit Hall's system. Otherwise, with various affairs piling up like a mountain every day, where would there be time to Cultivation and do the things one likes!" Jerry explained.

"That's also because Zhuqing is capable; if it were me, I wouldn't even know what to do!" Xiao Wu said.

"Xiao Wu, you don't need to do anything. You have your Brother Jerry who has arranged everything for you; you just need to focus on Cultivation!" Rongrong said with a smile.

"By the way, Lingling's affairs have also been arranged! She goes to the square to perform Healing for two hours every day. Lingling's Healing can treat hidden injuries; many Spirit Masters don't have any visible injuries on the surface, but they all have more or less some hidden injuries on their bodies!" Jerry said.

"Senior Brother, they all have things to do, but Renxue and I have nothing to do!" Ning Rongrong said.

"It's not that I won't give you things to do, it's mainly because your soul power is too low right now. Cultivation until you reach Spirit Saint first!" Jerry said.

"Spirit Saint, that's still a long way off!" Ning Rongrong said.

"Report!" At this moment, a guard appeared.

"Is something the matter?" Jerry asked.

"Reporting to Lord Jerry, Yu Xiaogang, whom you ordered to be monitored, has broken through to level 30 and exchanged for an 8,000-year Spirit Ring at the Spirit Hall."

"What? He broke through!"

To be honest, Jerry was depressed. He had calculated everything perfectly, waiting for Yu Xiaogang to come to Wuhun City so they could have a theoretical debate, at which point he would directly spread the matter across the continent, thereby raising the reputation of the Spirit Hall and incidentally bringing down Yu Xiaogang's status in the hearts of civilian Spirit Masters.

As it turned out, this Yu Xiaogang was something else. After arriving at the Spirit Hall, he spent the beginning inquiring about information everywhere. Jerry thought he was making preparations and ignored him, but now, he had actually broken through in Wuhun City!

Jerry had studied Yu Xiaogang's martial soul. Because his own talent was low, the mutation of his martial soul required a lot of energy. Relying on himself, he would never be able to provide enough energy in this lifetime to make the martial soul mutate completely.

He had been careless; it seemed the Cultivation Tower had ultimately benefited Yu Xiaogang.

It seemed that after Tang San enlightened Yu Xiaogang in the past, Yu Xiaogang had indeed changed a lot.

Now that Yu Xiaogang had broken through, he probably wouldn't come to find him for a debate. Sigh, the Spirit Hall had lost an opportunity to boost its reputation.

Since he wasn't coming to see me, then I would go see him instead.

"Xiao Wu, I'll take you to see an acquaintance!" Jerry said.

"Is it the Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang? He looked down on you quite a bit back then. I still remember he kept urging you to drop out of school and be an ordinary person! Haha." Xiao Wu laughed as she spoke.

Yu Xiaogang had just finished absorbing his third Spirit Ring, an 8,000-year Blasting Earth Dragon Spirit Ring. He originally didn't want to absorb it, but knowing his own physical condition, he was getting older, and continuing to train his Body Strength was becoming too much to bear, so he had no choice but to absorb the Spirit Ring first.

Ever since Yu Xiaogang came to the Spirit Hall and learned the method of training Body Strength, he often went to the Gravity Field to train. Moreover, Yu Xiaogang had also been training in the Cultivation Tower, and his martial soul had absorbed a lot of soul power, eventually causing the martial soul to undergo a huge change, directly becoming the Golden Sacred Dragon that could previously only be released through a Spirit Fusion Skill.

After the martial soul transformed into the Golden Sacred Dragon, the feedback to his body was also significant. Many of his original white hairs turned black, the loose skin on his face became firm, his body felt stronger, and he even broke through directly to level thirty.

Once his cultivation could be improved, Yu Xiaogang no longer cared about his theories. Who would go study theories if they could Cultivation? So, other than eating and sleeping, Yu Xiaogang now just went to Cultivation, and he paid no attention to anything else.

Today, after Yu Xiaogang finished his meal and was preparing to go to the Cultivation Tower to train, the guards in front stopped him.

"What's wrong? Is there something the matter?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

"Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang! Someone wants to see you!" the guard said.

Someone wants to see me? Ever since coming to the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang had always kept a low profile and rarely interacted with others.

The Grandmaster was full of questions. Someone in the Spirit Hall was looking for him? As far as he knew, Bibi Dong had already gone into seclusion, so there shouldn't be anyone looking for him. As for Jerry, he wouldn't think for a second that Jerry was looking for him; in his view, Jerry had probably forgotten who he was long ago!

Following the Spirit Hall personnel, he arrived at a manor located in the Inner City of the Spirit Hall.

The Grandmaster knew that the Inner City of Wuhun City was not easy to enter; even many members of the Spirit Hall had never entered the Inner City of the Spirit Hall.

He didn't expect that he would actually get in this time. This manor was very large, with flowers, plants, and trees planted on both sides. With Yu Xiaogang's discernment, he immediately saw that these flowers, plants, and trees were all Soul Beast, and there were many among them that were close to ten thousand years old.

If these were all cultivated by the Spirit Hall, then the Spirit Hall was truly terrifying!

Soon, he saw a house with a style completely different from the architecture on the Douluo Continent. This house had been renovated bit by bit by Jerry; it was a completely modern villa, and it was countless times better than before.

In front of the villa was a small garden with a pavilion in the middle, where two people were sitting and drinking tea.

"Grandmaster, you're here!" Jerry said.

"Y-y-you are Jerry?" the Grandmaster asked, looking at the handsome boy in front of him. He hadn't seen him for a few years, and the changes were so great that he couldn't recognize him at all.

"It seems the Grandmaster still remembers me!"

"Hello, Grandmaster, I am Xiao Wu. Do you still remember me?" Xiao Wu said with a smile.

The Grandmaster was extremely awkward now. Before, he had wanted to see Jerry, but after coming to Wuhun City, the more he learned, the more afraid he was to see Jerry. Looking at Jerry before him, Yu Xiaogang was now so embarrassed he could have dug a hole in the ground with his toes.

"Hello! Long time no see. I really didn't expect to meet under these circumstances!" Yu Xiaogang said.

"Indeed, it's been almost ten years since we parted back then, and only now do I see the Grandmaster. Time flies so fast!"

"I also didn't expect that the little child from back then would now be a high and mighty big shot!" Yu Xiaogang sighed, never having felt so defeated.

If it were someone else, it would be fine, but Jerry had the same Innate Half-Level Spirit Power as him, and he had even urged him to drop out of school!

"I still remember the Grandmaster urging me to drop out of school back then, saying that with my Innate Half-Level Spirit Power, it would be better to be an ordinary person than to Cultivation!" Jerry said.

"Yes! Yes! I remember the Grandmaster saying that many times!" Xiao Wu added.

"Fate plays tricks on people! In the current Wuhun City, is there still such a thing as talent theory? As long as one works hard, everyone can reach a very high realm! Thinking about it now, I really put too much emphasis on talent back then and forgot that diligence can make up for clumsiness!"
