Gu Rong, unaware that Yu Xiaogang was internally mocking the average intelligence of Douluo Continent, saw that Yu Xiaogang had acknowledged the matter, and his heart immediately became excited.
"So, what exactly is overseas? Can you tell me about it?"
When Gu Rong asked this question, he thought of Treasure Trove and Heaven And Earth Treasure.
In his view, only these things were worth Yu Xiaogang spending several months at sea to scheme for.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang did not want to make any firm promises right now, so he shook his head.
"I need to keep this a secret for now to leave a bit of suspense for the upcoming journey. Otherwise, there won't be any anticipation, and what would be the point of the trip?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Gu Rong looked disappointed.
However, it was indeed as Yu Xiaogang had said; if he were told in advance, the upcoming journey would lack anticipation.
Just like that, Yu Xiaogang and Gu Rong finalized the matter of a Titled Douluo joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect at this inn.
After the discussion concluded, Gu Rong checked out of his inn room, immediately gathered his belongings, and followed Yu Xiaogang back to their residence.
Afterward, he met the others at the residence.
"You mean, Bone Douluo is going to join us and travel with us?!"
Bibi Dong looked at Gu Rong, who had returned with Yu Xiaogang, her face full of astonishment.
A Titled Douluo following their group of young Spirit Emperor and Spirit King level people—how could this possibly feel right?
"Perhaps His Excellency Bone Douluo just likes to travel?"
Yu Xiaogang replied casually.
He did not really want to discuss the matter of Gu Rong joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
On the other side, Gu Rong saw Yue Guan and Gui Mei and stepped forward to greet them.
"You must be the two Spirit Douluo from Spirit Hall, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, right?"
"It is truly a pleasure to meet you."
Gu Rong looked at Yue Guan and Gui Mei with a smile.
Gu Rong naturally knew about these two.
In Spirit Hall, they were high-ranking Spirit Douluo belonging to the Supreme Pontiff Palace, just one step away from becoming Titled Douluo.
However, right now, they already possessed combat power at the Titled Douluo level because the two of them possessed a Spirit Fusion Skill.
Therefore, in Gu Rong's eyes, these two were existences on the same level as himself.
Although he currently had the upper hand, it was hard to say who would win or lose if they truly fought.
And once the two of them achieved a Breakthrough to Titled Douluo, he would have no chance of winning.
"A pleasure, Bone Douluo."
Clearly, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were also aware of this, so they greeted him in a rather calm tone.
After the greetings, the three of them began chatting idly.
When asked why he chose to join their team and act with them, Bone Douluo frankly stated that he had come for Yu Xiaogang.
More accurately, it was for some secret techniques in Yu Xiaogang's possession.
"So you came for the Spirit Core?"
Yue Guan asked.
This was their first thought after hearing Gu Rong's words.
"... Spirit Core?"
Gu Rong asked tentatively.
"... Xiaogang, can we talk about it?"
Seeing Gu Rong's reaction, Yue Guan immediately realized that the other party had likely seen other secret techniques of Yu Xiaogang.
"Sure, and we can also get some reference opinions from a Titled Douluo."
Yu Xiaogang did not hesitate at all.
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang say this, Yue Guan began to explain to Gu Rong what a Spirit Core was, what its function was, and even explained the improvement Yu Xiaogang had gained after possessing a low-end version of the Spirit Core—the Soul Power Vortex.
After hearing about the function of the Spirit Core, Gu Rong's mouth hung open; that look of disbelief made Yue Guan and Gui Mei feel very satisfied.
Indeed, no one could remain calm in the face of the Spirit Core.
However, what Yue Guan and Gui Mei did not know was that after hearing the function of the Spirit Core, the first thing Gu Rong thought of was the secret technique Yu Xiaogang had mentioned about doubling the total amount of Soul Power.
Through this secret technique, one could increase their own total Soul Power by several times.
This immediately created a gap between Spirit Masters who mastered the secret technique and ordinary Spirit Masters.
Now, Yu Xiaogang also possessed the Spirit Core secret technique.
Relying on the Spirit Core secret technique, Yu Xiaogang could rapidly recover Soul Power, and the recovered Soul Power was of that extremely pure kind.
The reaction produced by combining these two was like stepping on one's left foot with one's right.
You consume on this side, and he recovers on that side.
The massive amount of Soul Power meant that it would take quite a long time for a Spirit Master to exhaust their Soul Power.
However, during this period, the Spirit Core would still be constantly recovering Soul Power for you.
With this set of combo moves, could an ordinary Spirit Master want to defeat a Spirit Master who had mastered these two secret techniques through a war of attrition?
That would probably be a daydream!
He originally thought that doubling the total Soul Power was already Heaven-Defying, but it turned out there was also a combo skill here?
After a moment of silence, Gu Rong, with his thoughts flying, took a deep breath, looked at the confused-looking Yue Guan and Gui Mei in front of him, and grinned.
"How about I join in, and we complete this Spirit Core method together?"
Once the Spirit Core was completed, he would then go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to learn the secret technique of doubling Soul Power, and then he could use his Spirit Abilities however he wanted.
In this way, among his old rivals, besides Yu Yuanzhen, who else could beat him?
"Fine, it just so happens we also want to hear other people's opinions."
Yue Guan saw that Gu Rong had snapped out of it and did not pay attention to what he had been thinking about when he was shocked earlier.
Right now, he was still more hopeful about discussing a safe and harmless method for condensing a Soul Power Vortex sooner.
He was looking forward to seeing what level his combat power could reach after possessing a Soul Power Vortex.
Just like that, the group stayed in Vast Sea City for a few more days, and during this period, the ship for going out to sea was prepared.
However, as people going out to sea for the first time, Yu Xiaogang did not have experience in navigating a ship, and the others were much the same.
So in the end, Yu Xiaogang decided to hire a few people in Vast Sea City to act as ship navigators.
Through the recommendation of a local in Vast Sea City, a three-person team appeared before Yu Xiaogang.
Under the guidance of the introducer, Yu Xiaogang met that three-person team in a restaurant.
The team members were two men and one woman.
The female Spirit Master was the logistics Spirit Master of the team; her Spirit was of the food system, usually providing support, and if they encountered any accidents after going out to sea, she could also help the team survive.
The two male Spirit Masters—one had a Seagull Spirit, an agility-attack system, which also served the function of reconnaissance while fighting.
And the last one surprised Yu Xiaogang a bit.
Because this was an acquaintance.
Back when he had just participated in the Spirit Master Competition, this guy named Captain Lu Jinjue had left some impression on him.
The team he was on, when facing the Spirit Hall Academy Second Team he was in, had all lost their Battle Intent, only he chose to continue fighting.
At that time, Yu Xiaogang felt that if this guy had enough talent, he would surely become great in the future.
It was just unexpected that he would meet him again here.
