Chapter 154: All Sun Qi (Please Subscribe!!!)
While Dugu Bo still felt his World view being impacted, Dugu Yan, who had heard everything without any prior mental preparation, was even more dumbfounded.
She began to doubt herself at this moment.
A Spirit Master could absorb a spirit ring beyond their rank.
She accepted that.
The existence of heaven and earth treasures that could defy fate.
She accepted that too.
But what was going on with Sun Qi's situation?
Seven Sun Qis, and among them, there was a Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Because of this, they could even confirm each other's existence across thousands of miles.
It was too fantastical!
According to Sun Qi's explanation, there was some kind of dimensional limitation in their perception. Two points define a line... four non-coplanar points define a space.
Starting from four mutually perceptible individuals, the perception ability would increase on a spatial level.
As Dugu Yan's mind was impacted, Dugu Bo's serious warning came through.
"Yan Yan, what Sun Qi told us today must never be revealed to anyone outside."
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at her grandfather.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, of course I know how important this secret is to Sun Qi."
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, then turned back and looked at the two Sun Qis.
"Are you sure the one with the eye Spirit is called Sun Qi?"
"That much is certain. I gave him the looking through autumn water dew when I was Four-in-One."
"Then it's pretty much confirmed that all seven of you are named Sun Qi." Dugu Bo said, "So, Golden Kid, are you going over there?"
Spirit Hall already had two geniuses named Sun Qi. If another one appeared, they would probably start to get suspicious.
Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi began to ponder seriously.
Going to Spirit Hall and forming a Golden Second Generation of three Sun Qis would certainly be fun, but it carried a very high risk, at least ten times higher than Yu Xiaogang knowing there were three Sun Qis.
However, going to Spirit Hall could also solve some problems. Firstly, he wouldn't need to worry about nutrition meal, as Spirit Hall could provide it directly. Secondly, there was the issue of influence. His seven bodies could basically form their own factions, namely Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, along with the lone Dugu Bo.
Establishing these influences would clarify Sun Qi's future goals.
Bibi Dong wanted to destroy the Upper Three Sects, but it wasn't impossible to stop her. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Schoolcould also cooperate with Spirit Hall.
As for how to cooperate...
Qian Renxue!
Or rather, Xue Qinghe.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, became Ning Fengzhi's disciple—this was one layer of their relationship. Perhaps with careful planning, Ning Fengzhi could be made aware that the Crown Prince he had supported for so long was actually a Spirit Hall member. When he was bewildered and had to choose between abandoning Xue Qinghe to help Xue Beng, or continuing to support Xue Qinghe, Sun Qi could then find a way to push Ning Fengzhi's ideology towards supporting Xue Qinghe.
This also had another advantage: Ning Fengzhi's resistance to Spirit Hall could be eliminated with a reason—the Supreme Pontiff Palaceand the Elder Palace were two factions within Spirit Hall.
His joining the Elder Palace would still put him in opposition to the Supreme Pontiff Palace led by Bibi Dong, but it would be an internal opposition, as if they were one family.
This could eliminate much of Ning Fengzhi's resistance, as the increasingly tense situation between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Spirit Hall was a development after Bibi Dong took power. In the past, when the Qian family was in charge, there were frictions and subtle oppositions, but they were not as intense as they were now.
Sun Qi was in a dilemma.
"Regarding safety, I can ask Yue Guan for a promise. Although he doesn't have the final say, his influence is considerable, and Bibi Dongcan't completely disregard his opinion."
"Besides, you don't need to rush into a decision. Yue Guan is looking for geniuses across the continent, and finding a twelve-year-old Spirit Ancestor isn't that easy."
"I myself thought geniuses were abundant before, but now that I look back, all the geniuses are named Sun Qi."
Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh when he said the last sentence.
An eleven-year-old Spirit Elder?
A twelve-year-old Spirit Elder?
A twelve-year-old Spirit Ancestor?
Very talented, right? I, Dugu Bo, have seen several.
But now that he looked back, they were all Sun Qi.
Dugu Bo admitted that he had seen too many geniuses and had become overconfident, thinking it wouldn't be hard to find them. He was eager to recommend Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi before Yue Guan went to other regions.
But now he recognized the reality.
The only geniuses were the seven Sun Qis.
"By the way, what about the other Sun Qis? Is it convenient to tell me?"
Dugu Bo knew this situation was a secret, but he also calculated that Sun Qi was very likely to satisfy his curiosity.
Because he now knew five Sun Qis, leaving only two. By elimination, he knew those two had both enjoyed his favor and owed him a heaven and earth treasures.
Sun Qi indeed did not hide anything and roughly explained the situations of the Cloud Body and the Seal Body.
"They're all twelve years old, and they're all Spirit Elders now. What a bunch of monsters."
Dugu Bo was filled with emotion.
Among the seven, two were Spirit Ancestors, and five were Spirit Elders.
"With just the seven of you, in a few more years, establishing your own faction wouldn't be a problem."
Sun Qi was noncommittal.
Establishing a new major faction was certainly something he would do. Otherwise, what would happen after he became a God?
His seven bodies, with such talent, should surely find suitable God Position inheritances, right?
It didn't matter if the God Position achieved wasn't high; it could be improved later.
So faith was essential, and since ascending to the God Realm meant not interfering with the lower World, it could only be done through the forces left behind before ascension.
It was still too early to think about becoming a God, and Sun Qi had no intention of establishing a faction now.
But then he thought, with his seven bodies now, two were already Spirit Ancestors, and among the other five, it was highly likely they would become Spirit Ancestors before the Spirit Master Tournament.
Under the Seven-in-One, he should have the combat power of a Douluo.
And he still wouldn't establish a faction?
"Hmm... establishing a faction makes one an easy target. I'll see how things go; I'll establish it when the time is right."
Sun Qi still played it safe and didn't set a flag for establishing a faction right after the Spirit Master Tournament.
"Let's wait," Dugu Bo said, "Wait until Yue Guan has found enough people and returns to Spirit Hall to focus on researching the ten-thousand-year nutrition meal, then we'll make a decision."
After this brief interlude, Dugu Bo returned to his secluded cultivation.
He had somewhat grasped a feeling.
Sun Qi also wanted to cultivate directly. He closed his eyes, and before entering meditation, a thought flashed through his mind.
"Can Qian Renxue get news of the Golden Second Generation?"
Heaven Dou City.
Crown Prince's Residence.
'Xue Qinghe' sat alone in the study, looking at the latest news delivered by Porcupinefish Douluo.
"Another Sun Qi..."
Previously, Xue Qinghe already knew about three Sun Qis, guessing that this was a tactic arranged by Bibi Dong, allowing the remaining triplets of that deacon couple to join Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family respectively.
At the time, she had even rationalized it and convinced herself, explaining the issue of the three Sun Qis' Spirits.
Now, seeing in the intelligence report that another Sun Qi had appeared in the Spirit Hall Academy, she was dumbfounded.
