Since there was truly no way for her to continue staying at Chen Ming's place any longer, Ning Rongrong could only use these two days to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and tell her father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone about everything she had experienced recently.
The three of them were naturally delighted that Ning Rongrong had returned.
And after hearing that Chen Ming's guidance had produced such obvious effects, and that Ning Rongrong had become far more enthusiastic about cultivation, they became even happier.
But once they realized that Ning Rongrong liked Chen Ming — and even showed signs of wanting to throw herself at him — the emotions of the three elders suddenly became somewhat complicated.
It wasn't that they didn't hope sparks might fly between Ning Rongrong and Chen Ming.
In fact, from their perspective, if the two of them truly could develop romantic feelings for one another, that would practically be the ideal outcome.
But the problem was that from Ning Rongrong's behavior, it was painfully obvious that this was currently a one-sided crush.
Chen Ming himself didn't seem to be giving any particular response at all.
That situation left the three of them feeling awkward and strangely bitter.
After Ning Rongrong left, the three elders gathered together with gloomy expressions and discussed the matter for a long time.
Only after sighing endlessly did they finally reach a conclusion—
They would do absolutely nothing and simply pretend they knew nothing at all.
They would let the children naturally grow closer on their own.
That way, regardless of whether things succeeded or failed in the future, at least the relationship between both sides wouldn't be damaged.
And if things really did work out…
Then that would simply be wonderful.
After all, their Rongrong was the cutest little girl in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect — the treasured jewel held in everyone's palms.
With such outstanding talent, background, status, and family support, combined with her actively taking the initiative…
Surely nobody could possibly reject her, right?
But even so, watching the not-yet-fully-grown cabbage from their own vegetable field actively charge toward a wild boar still caused the three elders a painful ache in their hearts.
Even if the target wasn't actually a wild boar but a true dragon instead, seeing their family's precious cabbage acting this proactively…what parent wouldn't feel heartbroken?
On the other hand, Chen Ming's approach toward Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng was much more straightforward and direct compared to the way he handled Ning Rongrong.
As Spirit Masters with dragon-type Martial Souls, even though their attributes differed, Chen Ming's research into dragon-type Martial Souls still allowed him to easily modify portions of his own training methods into forms suitable for the two cousins.
Morning exams.
Lunch at noon.
Combat training in the afternoon.
Chen Ming fought the two of them alone after summoning his Martial Soul, personally beating Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng around so they could experience firsthand what true dragon power felt like.
Looking at Chen Ming's three Spirit Rings and the Martial Soul that was even stronger than their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng both felt as though they had completely wasted their lives.
Especially after the two cousins joined forces to attack Chen Ming, only to be directly pinned to the ground and violently beaten up by him, the two of them couldn't help starting to question their own lives.
They even began wondering whether the title of the "Twin Stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan" was simply exaggerated praise from their own clan members and didn't actually mean they were true geniuses at all.
Beast-type Spirit Masters were indeed exceptionally durable.
Not only did the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul provide extremely powerful enhancements to the body, but Spirit Masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan themselves could hardly even be considered ordinary humans anymore. Their vitality possessed a toughness somewhat similar to sub-dragon Spirit Beasts.
And that gave Chen Ming a perfect opportunity.
Lecture them.
Beat them up.
Medicinal baths.
Eat.
Sleep.
Then repeat the exact same process the next day.
After only beating the two brothers for two days, both of them felt their growth during this short period had already surpassed the gains from the previous month.
Not only had the circulation speed of their Spirit Power become faster under the pressure of external force, but even their physical constitutions and resistance to attacks had noticeably improved.
If they continued this kind of training over a long period of time, their growth would become extremely obvious.
Although the beatings hurt terribly during training, compared to the increase in strength, that level of pain was completely insignificant. In fact, if enduring even more pain could further improve their strength, the two of them would gladly accept having the daily suffering doubled.
As Spirit Masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan — and the two most talented members of the younger generation at that — the cousins had never lacked harsh training since childhood.
Whether it was fighting Spirit Beasts directly or having their bodies tempered by lightning released from their elders, such things were practically everyday occurrences for them. They had long since developed resistance toward devil-style training.
It was also during these sparring sessions that Chen Ming gained a deeper understanding of the dragonification abilities displayed by the two of them.
The dragonification of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was nominally considered a secret technique.
But in reality, its true essence was simply teaching the clan's direct bloodline descendants how to stimulate and control the hidden talents sleeping within their bodies.
It was a secret technique exclusive to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan — and more specifically, usable only by a small portion of the clan itself.
The principle behind the technique wasn't particularly complicated.
But everything depended entirely upon the special bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Even if outsiders obtained the dragonification technique, they still wouldn't be able to undergo dragonification.
Even within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan itself, those whose bloodlines weren't pure enough were similarly incapable of using the technique successfully.
Through physical testing and observation, Chen Ming confirmed that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan absolutely possessed the blood of a true Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon within their bodies.
The clan's dragonification was fundamentally identical to the localized dragon transformations used by sub-dragon Spirit Beasts when they erupted with their full strength in desperate situations.
But if it were merely a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, then within the inheritance of this many generations, this bloodline ought to have long since become thin, not to the point where it could still possess this obvious of a dragonification phenomenon.
Moreover, even if someone managed to awaken dragonification through a bloodline mutation, the price they should have to pay ought to be far greater than this.
Chen Ming had a bold idea forming in his mind.
But he still wasn't certain whether it was truly feasible.
Later on, he would need to ask Ah Yin and Xiao Wu, both transformed Spirit Beasts, about the matter.
Only then could he determine whether his theory was correct or not.
Before the two cousins left, Chen Ming gave them a slight preview of what was coming.
He took out his Lesser Spirit Ascension Pills and Greater Spirit Ascension Pills, displaying them in front of the two brothers.
After hearing that they could purchase such powerful medicine with such obvious effects for only two hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins per set, both brothers' eyes instantly turned green with envy.
But after searching through their pockets, the two of them together couldn't even gather one thousand gold soul coins.
As a result, they could only resent the fact that their personal finances were painfully inadequate.
After leaving Chen Ming's place, the cousins immediately rushed back toward their home within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, preparing to seek out their grandfather and extort some "support funds."
Although the Lesser Spirit Ascension Pill could only provide roughly the amount of Spirit Power needed for a Level 20 Spirit Grand Master to advance to Level 21, while the Greater Spirit Ascension Pill only supplied enough Spirit Power for advancement from Level 30 to Level 31, making the effects less obvious at their current levels—
the pills still saved a tremendous amount of cultivation time. With benefits like that, how could they possibly refuse?
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already bought these medicines for their own successor.
Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wasn't as wealthy as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there was absolutely no way the clan would lack enough money to let the two of them purchase a single set of these pills, right?
