In the days that followed, Ye Tianyun spent less time cultivating and focused all his efforts on creating a new cultivation method to increase Spirit Ring ages.
Aside from that, the two Tang Sans from the two timelines continued cultivating as usual, while also crafting Tang Sect Hidden Weapons.
The Live Broadcast Room still showed three scenes.
The two Tang Sans did the same things every day, without the slightest deviation.
They cultivated, crafted Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, and read up on Spirit Beast knowledge.
Ye Tianyun alone did something different. Besides cultivating, he studied a vast amount of medical knowledge and carried out all kinds of experiments.
It was a shame that Nuoding Academy, despite having quite a few books, was ultimately just a small place with a limited collection, seriously hampering Ye Tianyun's research.
But no matter how brilliant and gifted a person was, nothing could hold him back. In the end, Ye Tianyun achieved one of his smaller goals: he made himself a... Spirit Ring age enhancement method.
???
Across the Douluo Continent's Main Timeline, countless people were stunned.
Had Ye Tianyun really done it?
Bibi Dong was shaken. She turned to look at the Platinum Bishops beside her.
Each of them held a medical book Ye Tianyun had studied, carefully poring over its contents.
"Have you succeeded? Have you made any progress? Don't disappoint me."
The Platinum Bishops broke into a cold sweat under her questioning.
The facts proved that creating a cultivation method or a way to increase Spirit Ring ages was just like physics: if you couldn't do it, you couldn't do it. Even if you chopped your head off, you still wouldn't manage it.
They truly wanted to say, "This humble servant can't do it."
Bibi Dong knew the Platinum Bishops probably couldn't manage it, either. She sighed helplessly.
"Forget it. Ye Tianyun spent a long time on it, too. Find more people and have them study it carefully. Who knows? Maybe they'll succeed."
The Platinum Bishops exchanged glances. Could they really do it? Them?
A talent like Ye Tianyun was a once-in-a-millennium rarity, seldom seen in the world. Otherwise, why would the Live Broadcast Room praise his extraordinary gifts?
At the competition grounds,
Tang San's eyes widened as he kept muttering to himself:
"How is that possible? How did he manage it? So many people can't increase Spirit Ring ages. How did he do it?"
He couldn't figure it out. He couldn't understand.
How could someone be so clever?
Seeing how upset Tang San was, Xiao Wu hurried to encourage him:
"Third Brother, don't lose heart. You can do it, too."
At her words, Tang San's eyes lit up. That was right—why couldn't he do it? He was the protagonist, after all.
Tang San immediately brimmed with confidence:
"You're right. If Ye Tianyun can do it, so can I. And even if there's something Ye Tianyun can't do, I can still do it. That's who I am: Tang San, a peerless genius!"
Nearby, the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils, including Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt.
Could Tang San really do it?
He was clever and talented, sure, but he'd stolen his cultivation techniques. Why not create one himself instead of stealing?
Yu Xiaogang stared blankly for a moment, then quickly became full of confidence.
"That's right. I'm the Grandmaster. I've read so much theoretical material, and I have plenty of records from Spirit Hall. Why shouldn't I be able to create one?"
If he really could create a method to increase Spirit Ring ages, he'd become famous across the entire Douluo Continent.
Everyone would respectfully address him as Grandmaster.
The more Yu Xiaogang thought about it, the brighter his smile grew. He even looked a little lecherous.
The Soul Saint Brothers were speechless.
"Brother, stop dreaming. It's still daytime. Go home if you want to dream—don't do it here."
"Exactly. You think you can create one? Are you really that gifted? And what's this about being the Grandmaster? Did you steal your theoretical knowledge, too?"
"Didn't he just say he had records from Spirit Hall? Maybe all his knowledge was borrowed from Spirit Hall."
The brothers' words were like knives, stabbing Yu Xiaogang right in the heart. Their taunts got to him.
Because those theoretical ideas really weren't his own. He'd borrowed them from others.
Yu Xiaogang felt as if they'd stepped on his sore spot and hurriedly shouted in his defense:
"You're slandering me! This is slander! I'll sue you for defamation! They're slandering me!"
His voice grew louder and louder until everyone nearby heard him. They all turned to look at Yu Xiaogang.
They really wanted to say:
"Brother, fine, they're slandering you—but could you please stop explaining so loudly? You're making people suspicious."
Liu Erlong couldn't take it anymore. After the brothers provoked Yu Xiaogang time and time again, she pointed at them and cursed:
"Do you two want to find out how hard my fists are?"
The three brothers exchanged glances, then laughed again.
"Our fists aren't exactly soft, either."
In the distance, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect couldn't help shaking his head at the scene.
There they went, fighting again.
He kept his eyes on the Live Broadcast Room.
This was the Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Method. If he could obtain it, he'd definitely be able to increase Spirit Ring ages.
The Live Broadcast Room continued.
Ye Tianyun successfully researched a method to increase Spirit Ring ages. Though it couldn't raise them to a hundred thousand years, it was a wonderful start.
So he resolved to increase the ages of his own Spirit Rings first, beginning by raising one to a hundred years, the so-called standard for a genius.
As for the Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Method...
The Live Broadcast Room paused.
Everyone held their breath. This was the Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Method! If they could learn it, they'd be able to increase their Spirit Ring ages.
Especially those whose Spirit Rings were weak, and who would be affected by this. They all wanted to learn it.
The Live Broadcast Room spoke again.
The Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Method was very simple...
Bibi Dong nodded. Tang San focused intently, while Yu Xiaogang took out a book, ready to write everything down.
Since it was very simple, they could learn it.
First, do this, then do that. After doing this and that, keep going, and finally do this—then your Spirit Ring age will increase. Isn't it simple?
????
That was simple?
Just listen to what you're saying! Is that even human language?
This and that—what exactly were we supposed to do? You didn't even explain it clearly. You might as well have said nothing.
And you had the nerve to broadcast it.
Utterly infuriating!
Tang San was gritting his teeth. He'd already been ready to learn how to increase the age of his First Soul Ring.
But the Live Broadcast Room had spouted so much nonsense.
In the Parallel Timeline,
the gods were all speechless. Even the people on the Douluo Continent didn't know what to say.
They wanted to learn, too. They all wanted to improve.
But the Live Broadcast Room had talked so much without ever explaining how to increase Spirit Ring ages.
Ye Tianyun laughed.
"I suspect the Live Broadcast Room is messing with people."
And if it was messing with a particular person—
Xiao Wu pointed at the Live Broadcast Room and shouted:
"Third Brother, it's messing with you!"
Tang San angrily rolled up his sleeves, wanting to hit the Live Broadcast Room, but in the end he held back. Mainly because he couldn't hit it.
But he'd never forget the humiliation the Live Broadcast Room had dealt him for as long as he lived. It was a disgrace he'd remember until his dying day.
