"Black Flame Crow? That's quite fitting."
After hearing Mo Hen's words, Mo Hui nodded.
Currently, Mo Hen's Spirit appears as a crow emitting black flames, so calling it Black Flame Crow is indeed fine.
Following this, the two tested other aspects of the Spirit and found that with the Spirit's evolution, the original Spirit Abilities had also changed, not only becoming stronger than before but also gaining the element of fire.
For example, Mo Hen's second Spirit Ability, Black Feather Slash, should now be called Black Flame Slash. It can either launch many feathers imbued with black flames or transform his arms into wings to deliver powerful slashes, making it a move that combines both ranged and close-quarters combat.
After testing his Spirit, Mo Hen said to Mo Hui with a grateful expression, "Xiao Hui, Uncle is truly too grateful. The help you've given is simply too great; Uncle doesn't know how to repay you."
By now, how could Mo Hen not know what kind of treasure Mo Hui had used on him? Aside from some myths and unreliable folk novel biographies, he had never heard of anyone's Spirit truly evolving because of a treasure.
Let alone directly upgrading from an ordinary Spirit to a top-tier Spirit. Such a treasure is beyond monetary value. If news of it spread, it would definitely cause major powers to fight over it madly.
"Uncle, saying that makes you sound like a stranger. You helped me before, and that's enough."
Mo Hui waved his hand and replied.
A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring; this was the most normal thing for Mo Hui.
Although perhaps to others, his Uncle's help couldn't compare to this Immortal Herb, Mo Hui didn't care about that.
Mo Hui had his own scale in his heart to judge whether things were equivalent.
"Right!"
At this moment, Mo Hui suddenly reminded Mo Hen, "Uncle, don't be too public about your Spirit's evolution. It's not that I'm particularly afraid, but I'm worried that people from other forces might target you."
"Mm, I understand. The secret of Spirit evolution is of great importance. If those major powers knew about this, they would inevitably be unable to restrain themselves."
Mo Hen nodded solemnly.
"Actually, you don't need to be so cautious. If someone asks how your Spirit evolved, just tell them I helped you evolve it and tell them to come find me directly. I don't think they'll do anything to you then."
After a moment of silence, Mo Hui patted Mo Hen's shoulder and chuckled softly.
After Mo Hui led Shenfeng Academy to defeat the Spirit Hall Team and win the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, Mo Hui's name is now widely known in the Spirit Master's world.
Almost the entire Spirit Master's world knows that an extraordinary young genius has emerged in the Spirit Master's world, who defeated all the young talents in the entire tournament by himself, possessing the potential of a Limit Douluo.
Towards such a young genius who is almost certain to become a Titled Douluo, if there isn't a 100% certainty of killing him, then one cannot make an enemy of him. Otherwise, once he grows up, one's own side will definitely not fare well, and there's even the danger of being annihilated.
One must know that among the powers on the entire Continent, only the Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan openly have Titled Douluo.
Even including overseas, there's only the addition of Sea God Island. Even the lower four sects, famous throughout the Continent, don't have Titled Douluo; their Sect Masters are only Spirit Douluo.
From this, it can be seen how rare Titled Douluo are. An ordinary force provoking a Titled Douluo is truly courting death.
Even if the other party alone finds it difficult to annihilate your entire force, as long as the other party declares that whoever destroys you, he will join them, then there will inevitably be a large number of forces willing to help the Titled Douluo eliminate that force in order to gain his allegiance.
After all, if a force gains a Titled Douluo, it can be said to directly rise by one level and obtain more benefits.
Hearing Mo Hui's words, Mo Hen seemed to think of something and asked somewhat incredulously, "Xiao Hui, is that Mo Hui, who suppressed all the geniuses in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament and was called the strongest young genius, really you?"
Facing Mo Hen's question, Mo Hui just smiled and didn't reply.
But sometimes, not speaking is the best answer.
"Hiss~"
Seeing this, Mo Hen immediately drew in a sharp breath.
Although he had suspected it for a long time, when it was truly confirmed, Mo Hen still felt it was incredibly unbelievable.
After all, in the reports, the Mo Hui who led Shenfeng Academy to victory and suppressed the top geniuses of various academies was a Spirit King, while six years ago, when Mo Hui had just left Noding Academy, he was only a level twenty-two Spirit Grandmaster.
To go from level twenty-two to level fifty-four in just over five years, no one would believe this rate of improvement if you told them.
Because this means Mo Hui's improvement rate is at least six levels per year, and even the most talented Spirit Master is considered very strong if they can increase their spirit power by three levels a year, but Mo Hui's rate is still twice that.
In fact, Mo Hui's rate of level increase is indeed not a regular state. Without the high cultivation bonus from Hurricane Canyon, and without the bone and marrow cleansing plus spirit power increase from the Immortal Herb, even Mo Hui wouldn't have been able to break through to Spirit King at that time.
However, after the shock, Mo Hen quickly calmed down, because Mo Hui was indeed a person who created miracles.
Before Mo Hui, who would have thought that someone with innate level three spirit power could break through to Spirit Grandmaster at the age of ten?
Afterward, the uncle and nephew began reminiscing. When they talked about whale oil, Mo Hen said, "With the gold coins you sent me, I've stockpiled a large amount of hundred-year and thousand-year whale oil. Do you still need it now? If you do, I'll go get it for you."
Mo Hui shook his head and said, "No need. With my current body, unless it's ten-thousand-year whale oil, the improvement for me would be negligible."
Whale oil is something whose effect diminishes with use. A piece of thousand-year whale oil the size of an adult's fist can increase the spirit ring's endurance limit by about five hundred years, but when eaten a second time, it will probably only add two hundred and fifty years, and the third time even less, only one hundred and twenty-five years.
This is also why it's impossible to reach a ten-thousand-year second spirit ring by eating whale oil, because even if you ate hundred-year and thousand-year whale oil like meals, you would at most only increase the endurance limit by a little over a thousand years.
Even adding ten-thousand-year whale oil, you would at most add a few thousand years; wanting a ten-thousand-year second ring is still impossible.
Unless you can get one-hundred-thousand-year or even million-year whale oil, only then is it possible to have a ten-thousand-year second ring, but even so, your mental force needs to be strong enough.
Immediately after, Mo Hui smiled and said, "Uncle, keep it for your child. Speaking of which, it's been so many years, have things progressed between you and Teacher Li Ya?"
As soon as these words were spoken, an excited smile instantly appeared on Mo Hen's face, saying, "Of course, who do you think I am? She and I have been married for five years, and not long ago, she even got pregnant."
"Then congratulations, Uncle." Mo Hui cupped his hands and said.
At the same time, Mo Hui was also a little surprised. As one of the few young female teachers at Noding Academy, Li Ya was gentle and kind, not bad-looking, and had quite a few suitors. He didn't expect that his Uncle could actually win the beauty over.
Afterward, Mo Hen took Mo Hui to see Li Ya. Li Ya was also very surprised to see Mo Hui and quickly welcomed him.
That night, Mo Hui uncharacteristically didn't cultivate and stayed up late chatting with Mo Hen and Li Ya. All three sighed with emotion at the changes in things.
"You're going to Jiangrong Village?"
After hearing Mo Hui's words, Mo Hen said with some surprise.
Mo Hui nodded and said, "I haven't been back for a long time. I'll go back for a trip and visit my parents while I'm at it."
Hearing this, Mo Hen fell silent. Then he took out a string of keys from inside the house, placed them in Mo Hui's hand, and said, "These are the keys to your old home. I've always had someone look after it. You can stay there directly after you go back."
Mo Hui nodded, took the keys, and then embarked on the journey to Jiangrong Village.
Jiangrong Village is not far from Nuoding City. Back then, the village chief of Jiangrong Village only took one morning to bring him to Nuoding City. With Mo Hui's current speed, it was naturally faster.
Soon, Mo Hui arrived at the entrance of Jiangrong Village and walked straight in.
Although many years had passed and Jiangrong Village had undergone some changes, Mo Hui easily found his former house.
Because Mo Hui's family was once considered one of the wealthiest families in the village, his parents, although not Spirit Masters, earned a lot of money through business. Therefore, the house wasn't particularly luxurious, but within this village, it stood out like a crane among chickens.
Originally, Mo Hui's parents had planned to move to the city after completing that big business deal so that Mo Hui could receive the best education and prepare to become a Spirit Master in the future, but unexpectedly, only their corpses returned.
"Creak~~"
Taking out the key and opening the house, looking at the place where he had lived for six years, Mo Hui felt as though an age had passed as he walked.
Everything was still so familiar, as if nothing had changed. Mo Hui could even vaguely see his parents from this World waving at him, but Mo Hui knew that all of this was just his imagination.
"Alas~"
Mo Hui sighed. No matter what, he couldn't go back to the past. He should look forward.
Afterward, Mo Hui came to his parents' graves, cleared the weeds from the graves, took out offerings, arranged them neatly, and began to pay his respects.
"You used to always say how great it would be if I could become a Spirit Master. Now I am a Spirit King, and I'm only one spirit ring away from being a Spirit Emperor. You two should be satisfied under the Nine Springs, right?"
Mo Hui took out a bottle of wine from his spirit tool, and while pouring it, he said with some emotion.
Although Mo Hui's parents should have been considered to be living quite well among ordinary people, being a Spirit Master was still their lifelong pursuit. The most frequent thing they said to Mo Hui from a young age was how great it would be if he could become a Spirit Master in the future.
Douluo Continent is ultimately dominated by Spirit Masters. In front of Spirit Masters, ordinary people are nothing. The two are completely not of the same class, and can even be said to not be the same type of creature.
Even the Spirit Hall, which appears to be the most friendly to commoners, only cares about commoner Spirit Masters, not commoners themselves. Providing free awakenings for commoners is merely to get more Spirit Masters.
However, objectively speaking, the Spirit Hall's actions have indeed provided commoners with a channel for advancement, because before the Spirit Hall, the awakening channel was controlled by nobles. For commoners to want to awaken, while not impossible, was almost as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Just as Mo Hui was paying respects to his parents, a slightly hunched figure walked from afar. After seeing Mo Hui in front of the grave, he said with some disbelief, "Are you... Xiao Hui?"
Mo Hui turned his head to look, nodded slightly, and said, "It's me, Village Chief."
"Oh my~ Xiao Hui, it's been so long since I've seen you. Are you here to visit your parents?"
The village chief of Jiangrong Village glanced at the offerings in front of Mo Hui and said.
Mo Hui replied, "Yes, I graduated from the Spirit Master Academy and came to pay respects to my parents."
After hearing Mo Hui's words, the eyes of the village chief of Jiangrong Village immediately lit up.
Graduating from a Spirit Master Academy at Mo Hui's current age would certainly not be from a junior Spirit Master Academy, at least it would be from a intermediate Spirit Master Academy.
In other words, Mo Hui is now at least a Spirit Grandmaster level figure, and looking at Mo Hui's current age, he can still continue his studies, continue to attend Advanced Soul Master Academy, and if he comes out after that, he would be a Spirit Elder.
Incredible, incredible! Our Jiangrong Village might produce a Spirit King or a Spirit Emperor in the future!
The village chief of Jiangrong Village thought to himself.
Isn't the neighboring village constantly showing off because they produced a Spirit Saint, even changing the village's name to Saint Spirit Village? Now their village is also going to produce a great existence. Let's see if that neighboring village still acts smug.
After all, their Spirit Saint died long ago, while their Spirit King and Spirit Emperor are still alive.
Immediately, the village chief of Jiangrong Village said, "Mo Hui, it's been a long time. Come, I'll take you to my house for a meal."
"Okay, then I'll trouble the Village Chief."
Mo Hui agreed with a smile, not refusing.
After paying respects to his parents, Mo Hui followed the village chief of Jiangrong Village to his home.
"Grandpa, who is this?"
Just after returning to the Jiangrong Village chief's house, a little boy dressed in cloth clothes ran out, his big eyes curiously sizing up Mo Hui.
"Xiao Hui, this is my grandson, named Jiang Xing." The village chief of Jiangrong Village introduced him to Mo Hui.
Immediately after, the village chief of Jiangrong Village stroked Jiang Xing's head and smiled, "Didn't you always treat him as your idol? Why don't you recognize him when he's right in front of you?"
"Are you the Brother Mo Hui who awakened innate level three spirit power?"
Jiang Xing's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said to Mo Hui.
"It's me."
Mo Hui nodded.
"Alright, don't bother Brother Mo Hui anymore. We'll entertain Brother Mo Hui later."
Saying this, the village chief of Jiangrong Village waved his hand at Jiang Xing and told his wife to prepare a few dishes.
At the dinner table, Mo Hui asked, "After me, how many people in Jiangrong Village have awakened innate spirit power?"
Hearing this, the village chief of Jiangrong Village was silent for a moment, then said, "In the past ten years, the only person in our village who awakened innate spirit power is you."
