Wang Nan had always named his Spirit Abilities based on their effects.
The effect of Thousand Jin was very simple: it purely doubled his own strength and the effects of other strength-enhancing abilities.
As for Breaking Obstacles, it was a powerful offensive Spirit Ability. Although it wasn't a palm bone and couldn't unleash a true Dark Gold Terrorclaw like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, its attacks also carried the attribute of 'destruction'. No matter what kind of obstruction, it would be torn apart by this strike.
"Thank you, Elder Mu." Wang Nan stood up and went to Mu En's side. Although Mu En was in meditation, Wang Nan could still feel that it was Mu En who used his power to let the aura of the Golden Ancient Tree fall upon him.
"It's mainly your own opportunity, no need for thanks." Mu En waved his hand.
"Elder Mu, is Dean Yan in the Sea God Pavilion?"
Mu En glanced at Wang Nan, not expecting that the first thing Wang Nan did after waking up was to look for Yan Shaozhe, but he still slowly nodded.
"These past few years, I've been trying to get Shao Zhe to change his temperament, but there's been no progress. So I had him temporarily put aside the academy's affairs and meditate properly in the Sea God Pavilion for a while. If you have something to tell him and it's not urgent, I'll call him out after his meditation ends."
Wang Nan had nothing to hide, so he recounted his desire to go to sea and what Yan Shaozhe had promised him.
Mu En suddenly chuckled. "That's good. Shao Zhe has rarely left the academy since becoming the head of the Martial Soul Department. It's time for him to go out and travel, instead of always staring at this place, the academy. You go back and prepare first. When it's time to go to sea, you can just come over directly."
Wang Nan nodded and left the Sea God Pavilion.
Before his journey, he had many things to prepare. After all, he was going to an unknown place, and he didn't know what he would encounter there. He brought enough food, clothing, and daily necessities for a long period, as well as various types of spirit tools and medicines.
He even considered the situation where his spirit power might be exhausted, so he put two long metal rods into his storage spirit tool. Although they were just ordinary metal and not as useful as a Spirit or a spirit tool, they were sturdy enough, which was better than being empty-handed.
Fortunately, there were storage spirit tools; otherwise, just moving the things he prepared might not be enough for a dozen adult men.
After putting on several storage spirit tools separately and tidying up again, Wang Nan finally prepared to go home.
Children always tell their parents before going on a long trip.
...
Arriving at Shrek's Outer Courtyard again, Wang Nan passed by those statues once more on his way to the academy's east gate. Ever since Wang Nan learned the origin of the Coiling Dragon Staff Spirit, he finally understood why Pan Huai's gaze had been so complex that day.
After a glance, just as Wang Nan was about to leave, the Evil Breaking Dragon suddenly churned in his spiritual sea, and two figures appeared in Wang Nan's field of vision.
"Senior Brother Wang."
The people who came were Beibei and Tang Ya. After getting closer, Beibei called out, but Tang Ya hid behind Beibei, her eyes somewhat evasive as she looked at Wang Nan.
"Are you two going out for something?"
"Yes." Beibei nodded. "Xiao Ya has already completed the withdrawal procedures and is preparing to return to Heaven Dou City to rebuild the Tang Sect. I'm a bit worried, so I'm going back with her."
Wang Nan sighed softly and looked at Beibei. "Do you remember what happened a few years ago when a disciple of Shrek Academy was taken away?"
Beibei's expression changed, and he looked at Wang Nan. At that time, he had already been on Sea God Island. Shrek had faced a great enemy, and he naturally remembered what happened that night vividly.
"You've also carried out many academy missions. You understand some things. Those people dared to come into the academy. If you actively go out, it might not be easy to come back."
With Tang Ya present, Wang Nan's words weren't very clear, but Beibei had already guessed and understood Wang Nan's meaning. He looked at Tang Ya with some disbelief, then looked back at Wang Nan.
"Senior Brother Wang?" Beibei cast an inquiring look.
Wang Nan didn't say much, just nodded gently.
"I... I understand."
"I'm going on a long trip for something. You two should think carefully. If you've made up your minds after I return, you can come find me." Wang Nan glanced at Tang Ya behind Beibei again, then turned and walked out of Shrek Academy's east gate.
"Beibei, let's go." Watching Wang Nan walk away, Tang Ya reached out and pulled Beibei, but he didn't move.
Beibei suddenly hugged her. "Xiao Ya, let's stay in the academy, okay?"
"But..." Tang Ya wanted to say something, but she felt Beibei's arms tighten, making her a little breathless.
"Beibei, what's wrong? Tell me, okay?"
Beibei buried his head in Tang Ya's hair, a hint of moisture in the corner of his eye. "Xiao Ya, believe me, I will help you rebuild the Tang Sect."
Tang Ya's gaze softened again, and she also reached out to hug Beibei's waist. "Mm, I've always believed in you."
Just as Beibei and Tang Ya were embracing, Wang Nan had already activated his flying spirit tool and was flying rapidly toward Star Luo City. With his current spirit power, he had already arrived home in just over an hour.
"Dad, I'm back."
This time, Wang Xing was at home. Wang Nan saw him as soon as he entered the door.
"Good, good." Wang Xing's eyes lit up, and he hurried over to vigorously pat Wang Nan's arm.
The last time he saw Wang Nan was on the final arena of the Soul Duel Tournament. Like many other spectators, Wang Nan's figure, standing in mid-air like a dominator of heaven and earth, had remained in his heart, lingering for a long time.
Whenever he thought of that figure as his child, Wang Xing always felt a sense of unreality. But now, seeing Wang Nan standing in front of him, he felt that his child was the same as before, never having changed.
"You brat, why aren't you training properly in the academy? What are you doing always running home?" Wang Xing pulled Wang Nan into the room, while also complaining insincerely.
Wang Nan just smiled. "It won't take too long anyway. By the way, Dad, do you know what our ancestors' surname was?"
"Of course it was Wang." Wang Xing looked at Wang Nan suspiciously. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"I've encountered something recently." Wang Nan told Wang Xing about Pan Huai while handing him some things that recorded his own insights.
"These things are what I recorded during my cultivation. They should also be helpful to you. Although they can't achieve the level of awakening a Dragon Spirit, they should be able to slightly increase some spirit power."
Wang Xing glanced through them, then let out a long sigh. After all, tens of thousands of years had passed, and he didn't know that the Coiling Dragon Staff had such an origin. "So what are you thinking? Do you want to change back to the surname Qiangu?"
Wang Nan shook his head. "I think it's good as it is now."
