It could be said that, in addition to mastering the hundred solutions to hidden weapons, Yin Mengyang had now half mastered the Xuantian Treasure Record.
Although stealing knowledge was shameful, as a reincarnated, Jun Tianlin had long since grown accustomed to shamelessness. While he also possessed his own unique skills but he knew that if he wanted to pass down the techniques of Shushan and Wahuang in the future, the clan's disciples would have to be divided into core, inner, and outer disciples.
It was impossible for everyone to directly learn the highest-level techniques, as this would inevitably lead to their leakage.
Therefore, Jun Tianlin had already decided that when the clan grew stronger, only the core disciples—those who were both loyal and possessed extraordinary talent—would be allowed to cultivate his skills. The ordinary inner disciples could practice the techniques and martial arts from the Xuantian Treasure Record. After all, compared to the general techniques in the Douluo Continent, Xuantian treasure record was still considered top-tier. Tang San had relied on it to dominate the continent, proving its worth.
As for the outer disciples, they would only be allowed to cultivate the clan's standard meditation technique. However with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's deep foundation, even an ordinary meditation technique from them was considered a high-end technique to outsiders.
'Tang San's eye-training method pairs perfectly with my Eagle Eyes' Yin Mengyang chuckled to himself. 'Haha, damn Tang Hao, you asked me to protect Tang San, so isn't it only fair that I charge your son a little protection fee?'
He sneered and continued 'As for that hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, do you really think you can keep it for your son as a wife? If I can discover its identity, do you think Xiaotian can't?'
Yin Mengyang knew that after several years of cultivation, Jun Tianlin's Flame Golden Eyes—which is his external soul bones—had already reached the level of seeing through illusions. He was certain Jun Tianlin had long since discovered Xiao Wu's true identity as a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.
Yin Mengyang had sworn a spirit oath not to reveal her secret but Jun Tianlin had made no such promise. Yin Mengyang also suspected that the reason Jun Tianlin had given Xiao Wu the Breath-Locking Pill was to prevent her from being discovered and hunted down prematurely by other Titled Douluo. When the time was right then he would personally make his move, keeping Xiao Wu in captivity until then.
It was a pity Tang Hao was still alive. Otherwise, Jun Tianlin might have taken an even more ruthless approach and simply abducted Xiao Wu back to the clan.
However, regarding Yin Mengyang's speculation, Jun Tianlin could only say—Grandpa Yang, you're overthinking things. He truly had no interest in Xiao Wu's spirit ring.
Instead, he was thinking of using Xiao Wu to deepen the animosity between Spirit Hall and the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Now that those ferocious beasts had ended their ten-thousand-year seclusion ahead of schedule, if Spirit Hall blindly rushed to the Lake of Life as they had in the original novel then they would undoubtedly suffer disastrous consequences.
Meanwhile, Jun Tianlin could sit back and reap the rewards. Whether it was delivering the final blow to Spirit Hall or reclaiming some of the soul beads from those ferocious beasts, it would be a situation that benefited him greatly with no downsides.
In the past few days, the other members of the Royal Fighting Team had also arrived as scheduled. However, unlike in the original novel, they did not have a match against the Shrek Seven Devils. After all, the current Royal Fighting Team was a team of Gold Fighting Souls, all above level 40.
On the other hand, the Shrek Seven Devils—because Tang San had lost the Eight Spider Lances—had performed well but not as spectacularly as in the original novel. Their Combat Spirit battle record stood at 26 wins and 2 losses and as opposed to the original 28 consecutive victories. Their two losses had been against teams with members nearing the Spirit ancestor level.
This meant that Tang San's team was still only in the Silver Fighting Soul rank and naturally wouldn't have the opportunity to fight a Gold Fighting Soul team.
That day, after the Royal Fighting Team had easily defeated a Spirit Ancestor-level team, Qin Ming brought them to Shrek Academy.
"Dean Flender, Teacher Zhao, Qin Ming has returned!" As soon as he entered the academy, Qin Ming called out excitedly as if he had finally returned home.
"Haha, Xiao Qin! You haven't sent back any letters since you left three years ago. Do you still consider me your teacher?" Zhao Wuji heard his voice and quickly walked out
"Please forgive me, Teacher" Qin Ming said apologetically "I have dedicated all my energy these past few years to training these children, and I neglected everything else."
"Training children?" Flender frowned "Qin Ming, it's fine for you to teach, but you must not neglect your own cultivation. What level are you now?"
Flender had always held Qin Ming in high regard. He had hoped that Qin Ming would become the first Titled Douluo to emerge from Shrek Academy and solidifying its reputation.
The last time Qin Ming had visited, he had brought his girlfriend, who was already above level 50. Flender had been very satisfied then. However, if Qin Ming had yet to reach level 60, Flender was definitely planning to give him some serious training.
"Dean, Qin Ming is now at level 66" Zhou Yan interjected proudly and holding Qin Ming's hand. "Just a few days ago, on our way here, he broke through to level 66."
"Si—Sixty-sixth level?!" Flender was momentarily stunned before breaking into laughter "Hahaha! Excellent, excellent! You are indeed worthy of being a monster who graduated from my Shrek Academy. Qin Ming, you have not disappointed me. It seems that before long, you will surpass me!"
"Teacher, you flatter me" Qin Ming said humbly "In truth, the real monsters are the children I have been training." He turned around and addressed the members of the Royal Fighting Team "Children, these two are my teachers. Please introduce yourselves!"
