Wang Long truly longed to become a Title Douluo!

If anyone else had asked, Wang Long would have been more than just skeptical; he would have barely believed a word of it.

However, Feng Baiyu—a youth several years his junior who had told his grandfather that Whale Glue could strengthen the body, allowing him to attain a thousand-year-level second spirit ring—was a man of extraordinary ability.

He did not fully believe everything Feng Baiyu said.

Yet, Wang Long knew this was his only chance to get on Feng Baiyu's good side.

In any case, he only had the potential to reach the Spirit Douluo level in this lifetime, so he might as well pin his hopes on Feng Baiyu!

"Brother Wang Long." Feng Baiyu stopped Wang Long from kneeling, saying, "You are three years older than me; how could I accept your kowtow?"

"Since I have given my word, I will certainly assist you with all my might." Feng Baiyu looked earnest as he promised, "Go back and speak with your family later, then come to my home another day. The resources for you to cultivate to a Title Douluo will be provided by my Feng Family!"

"Many thanks, Young Master Feng." Wang Long looked moved.

After the two chatted for a while, Shui Duanliu returned with Wang Cheng.

It was easy to see from Wang Cheng's face that he was very satisfied with today's transaction. At this moment, he did not know that there were even more satisfying things to come!

With matters settled, Feng Baiyu did not keep the Wang father and son.

After the two left happily, Feng Baiyu spoke up: "Shui, prepare a guest room for Wang Long. He will be coming over before long."

"Ah?" Shui Duanliu was stunned for a moment, but quickly agreed: "Yes, Young Master."

Feng Baiyu was not acting on impulse; it was truly because Wang Cheng had given too much!

The [Gold of Life] from before had been a lucky find, and he had felt somewhat indebted to the man. By providing some satisfactory compensation later, both sides would be square.

But today, Wang Cheng had given him two more treasures.

One was a two-thousand-year-old [Blue-Ringed Octopus] right arm bone; this Spirit Bone was of immense use to Feng Baiyu.

The other was the collection of rare flora and herbs he had brought back.

Among them, there was actually a [Three-Tailed Wind Leaf]!

[Three-Tailed Wind Leaf]: A top-tier herb. Its leaves resemble a phoenix tail, swaying with the wind, agile as a dance. It can enhance perception and increase speed.

This was something Feng Baiyu had previously seen in the Compendium of Flora and Herbs. While it was still a far cry from an immortal herb, it belonged in the ranks of top-tier medicinal plants. It was of no use to him, but it would be quite beneficial for his grandfather, Feng Qingluan.

Although this single herb would not be enough to push his grandfather to level 97, it would help him advance a great distance.

For this reason, Feng Baiyu could not treat the other party poorly.

Moreover, Wang Long had a good nature and a sincere heart. It would be quite nice for Feng Baiyu to have a friend to progress with.

Talent can be supplemented, but character is hard to forge.

A friend known since childhood is more reliable than any genius recruited later.

Feng Baiyu gathered the items Wang Cheng had brought. Aside from carefully storing the [Three-Tailed Wind Leaf], he planted the remaining two ornamental flowers directly in the cultivation area.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Little Black, who had been left here by Feng Baiyu, immediately trotted over happily upon seeing him arrive.

Watching Feng Baiyu plant the herbs, it leaned in a little closer.

"Don't mess around." Feng Baiyu flicked Little Black on the forehead, causing it to yelp and run away.

Little Black, feeling indignant, turned around and took its frustration out on the other spirit beasts.

In an instant, it was chaos once again.

"What? Young Master Feng said he wants to groom you into a Title Douluo!" After returning home, Wang Cheng looked at his son in astonishment. He was stunned for a long time before asking, "Is... is this even possible?"

"How would I know if it's possible or not?" Wang Long scratched his head and said, "But that is what Young Master Feng said. He told me to come back, prepare myself, and then go to the Feng Mansion to find him."

Wang Cheng remained silent for a long time after hearing Wang Long's words, pacing back and forth in the room. After a while, he said with a complex expression, "You brat, you really are blessed by the stars!"

Wang Cheng had an innate spirit power of level seven; even if it was difficult to become a Title Douluo, he had the potential to reach the Spirit Douluo level.

It was just that his first few spirit rings were poorly matched, and his combat ability was only average.

His eldest brother was a Platinum Bishop, his second brother was the Vice Dean of the Spirit Academy, and his other brothers also held respectable positions. Fortunately, he had a good head for business, and the "Treasure Pavilion" he managed for the family was very profitable.

Although he lived in luxury with fine clothes and food, accompanied by beautiful wives and concubines, he was not happy.

If he could achieve the Title rank, he would surely cultivate diligently to improve.

Wang Cheng had many children, and Wang Long was not particularly outstanding among them. Yet, unexpectedly, he had been so lucky as to receive the body-strengthening method from his father on the eve of obtaining his second spirit ring, allowing him to absorb a thousand-year-level ring.

How could this not be considered good fortune?

"Since Young Master Feng has spoken, then go!" Wang Cheng thought for a moment, took out most of the family's liquid assets, and said, "There are three million gold coins on this card. From now on, just be Young Master Feng's attendant! Whatever orders Young Master Feng has, just follow them. As for your grandfather, I will go and speak with them."

"Dad, thank you." Wang Long was deeply moved. Their family's situation was not bad, but taking out three million in cash was enough to hurt their foundations.

"Son, cultivate well." Wang Cheng patted his son's shoulder and said, "Your uncles have pretty much reached their limit at the Spirit Douluo level, and when I will reach the Spirit Douluo level remains an unknown! But you are different; you have the potential of a Title!"

"I... I understand!" Wang Long nodded earnestly, as if making a vow: "I must become a Title!"

The heavy burden of having three Title Douluos in one family had finally fallen upon Wang Long's shoulders.

The next day, while Feng Baiyu was cultivating, Wang Long arrived at the Feng Family estate.

Because Shui Duanliu had already given instructions, he was led directly to Feng Baiyu's training grounds.

Wang Long gazed at the exquisite, miniature forest, a hint of envy in his eyes. It was truly worthy of being Young Master Feng's training ground; it was even more beautiful than the places belonging to his grandfather and great-uncle.

"Brother Wang Long, you've arrived." Seeing Wang Long approach, Feng Baiyu smiled and said, "I am not yet familiar with your current cultivation status, so just proceed with your usual routine for now."

"Alright." Wang Long did not stand on ceremony; he found a spot, sat cross-legged, and began his meditation for the day.

Feng Baiyu observed Wang Long for a moment before closing his eyes to cultivate. Feng Baiyu was a genius when it came to theory, but he was still a bit unsure of how to go about instructing Wang Long.

At a time like this, it was far more appropriate for Shui Duanliu to act as the teacher.

Shui Duanliu was a level 79 Soul Saint who also possessed an Tool Soul. For him to guide a mere Great Soul Master would naturally be a simple task.

However, before Shui Duanliu could even offer any guidance, Little Black had already started a fight with Wang Long.
