Chapter 60: Three Months Later
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
"So, he knew how to absorb a thousand-year soul ring by himself, but intentionally credited Grandmaster for the achievement!"
At the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, Ning Fengzhi burst into laughter after hearing Sword Douluo recount his encounter with Su Mo.
Like Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi was beyond satisfied with Su Mo, his prospective son-in-law.
His temperament, abilities, and remarkable intelligence were all outstanding.
Moreover, despite his young age, Su Mo understood the importance of keeping a low profile, even giving credit to someone else for his own achievements.
In doing so, Su Mo had successfully shifted attention away from himself.
Given Su Mo's ordinary background, this was the smartest move he could make.
By attributing his success to Grandmaster's theories, Su Mo's ability to absorb a thousand-year soul ring as his second ring no longer seemed extraordinary—others could believe it was possible for anyone to achieve, given the right guidance.
Though many mocked Yu Xiaogang, the truth was that no major clan or power dared to truly underestimate the theories he had compiled.
Much of the knowledge in Yu Xiaogang's work came from the large clans and even Spirit Hall itself.
The ridicule and suppression were merely tactics to prevent others from believing in his theories.
To some extent, Yu Xiaogang deserved the mockery. If he had merely compiled existing martial soul knowledge, there would have been nothing for others to criticize.
However, Yu Xiaogang, in his youthful arrogance, had inserted his own unproven guesses and theories, which had never been tested in practice. These inaccuracies gave the major powers the leverage they needed to attack him relentlessly.
In Su Mo, Ning Fengzhi saw a completely different level of wisdom.
"Yes, this young man's future is limitless!"
Sword Douluo nodded, smiling.
"In that case, Uncle Sword, you know the design of Su Mo's soul-hunting spear. Have someone forge one with the best materials, and I'll send it to him!"
Ning Fengzhi agreed and gave instructions to Sword Douluo.
"For now, it's better not to use the highest-quality materials. The better the weapon, the slower the refining process. It's best to let it evolve step by step."
Sword Douluo shook his head in disagreement.
"Oh, right! I nearly forgot!"
"That works too. For now, we'll have one forged with decent materials, and once he completes the evolution, we'll provide him with a better weapon!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled, realizing Sword Douluo was right.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was more than pleased with Su Mo and Ning Rongrong's relationship.
However, there was one person who wasn't happy.
"How can that little Ning Rongrong compare to Xue'er or Nana!"
In the depths of the Rakshasa Domain, Bibi Dong muttered her dissatisfaction.
However, Bibi Dong only expressed her displeasure in private; she didn't criticize Ning Rongrong in front of Su Mo.
As someone who had been through this herself, Bibi Dong knew better than to badmouth Ning Rongrong in front of Su Mo.
After learning that Su Mo and Ning Rongrong could use a martial soul fusion technique, Bibi Dong had no idea how to convince Su Mo to leave Ning Rongrong.
The appearance of a martial soul fusion technique between the two confirmed that they genuinely liked each other!
She couldn't be the one to break them apart.
After all, she deeply resented Qian Xunji for doing something similar to her in the past and refused to become like him.
"Forget it, I'll deal with it later!"
With a sigh, Bibi Dong finally gave up on trying to separate Su Mo and Ning Rongrong, despite her dissatisfaction.
"How ironic. I'm beginning to understand that scum Qian Xunji..."
"But no matter how much I understand, I will never be like him!"
Three months later, Su Mo and the others completed their final day of gravity training.
Over the course of those three months, under Zhao Wuji's enhanced gravity soul skill, the group, including Ning Rongrong, had adapted well to the training.
Su Mo, along with Tang San and Dai Mubai, who had stronger physiques, were even able to move freely and spar under the pressure of Zhao Wuji's gravity enhancement.
"Alright, today marks the end of your gravity training!"
"The three-month physical conditioning program I designed for you is officially over!"
As Zhao Wuji released his gravity-enhancing soul skill, Yu Xiaogang turned to Su Mo and the others to make the announcement.
"Really?"
"It's finally over?"
"That's great..."
"..."
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's announcement, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others burst into cheers.
Even though the gravity-enhanced training didn't involve running like before, the exhaustion was the same, if not worse, especially as Zhao Wuji gradually increased the gravity.
So when they heard that the training was over, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others couldn't contain their joy.
"Haha, it's finally over!"
"These past few months have been exhausting!"
The happiest of all, however, was none other than Zhao Wuji, who had been responsible for providing the gravity enhancement for everyone.
"Master, you all carry on. I'm out of here! I'm taking some time off, so don't come looking for me unless it's urgent!"
After saying this to Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji practically bolted away, as if he were fleeing.
"Hehe, Teacher Zhao Wuji running away like that is so cute!"
Ning Rongrong giggled, standing beside Su Mo.
"Haha, you're right!"
"Totally agree!"
"..."
Xiao Wu and the others couldn't help but laugh along with Ning Rongrong's remark.
Su Mo simply smiled silently. He didn't mind Ning Rongrong teasing Zhao Wuji; it was all in good fun.
This lighthearted Ning Rongrong, the one who could joke without malice, was the version of her that Su Mo loved to see.
Watching Zhao Wuji disappear into the distance, while the others were excited, Su Mo felt a hint of regret.
He realized that the gravity-enhanced training had been highly effective for him.
It was just a bit hard on Zhao Wuji!
"Alright, although the physical training is over, don't relax too much when it comes to maintaining your own conditioning!"
"Take tomorrow off to rest, but the day after that, we will begin the second phase of training!"
Yu Xiaogang spoke up to stop everyone from continuing to joke about Zhao Wuji, issuing his next instructions.
"Ugh..."
"So there's a second phase after all!"
"Master, what's the second phase of training?"
"..."
The moment Yu Xiaogang mentioned a second phase, Ma Hongjun and the others, who had just started to relax, were already groaning.
"You'll find out the day after tomorrow. For now, rest as much as you can."
Yu Xiaogang smiled, not revealing the details just yet.
After that, Yu Xiaogang turned and left.
"Let's go, let's follow the master's advice and relax!"
"Oscar, let's head to Soto City for some fun!"
Ma Hongjun wasted no time, patting Oscar's shoulder and suggesting they go out.
"Sure thing, you always know me best, Fatty!"
Oscar didn't hesitate either, and the two of them left, arm in arm.
They didn't bother inviting Su Mo, Tang San, or Dai Mubai because they knew they wouldn't be able to convince them to join.
As Oscar and Ma Hongjun departed, the group quickly dispersed.
"Su Mo, can you guess what the master's second phase of training will be?"
As Ning Rongrong walked with Su Mo, curiosity still lingered about the upcoming training phase, so she asked him.
