Chapter 190: Tang Chen's Skills Teachings
The meeting place wasn't Yuexuan, but atop a cliff outside Tiandou City. The ground was flat and tranquil.
At that moment, Tang Chen stood beneath a giant tree, his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. His back was a majestic silhouette for Tang Hao and Gu Han.
Gu Han silently grumbled, Why do these masters so often look at us from behind?
"Grandpa, I've brought Brother Gu here."
Tang Hao stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Senior Tang Chen, how may this junior be of assistance?"
Gu Han also bowed slightly.
Only then did Tang Chen slowly turn around.
"Hao'er, you may return."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Tang Hao nodded slightly, turned around, gave Gu Han a deep look, and then left without looking back.
Tang Chen didn't rush to speak until he was sure Tang Hao had completely left. Instead, his aura surged as he spoke.
"Qianjun, Jiangmo, I won't harm him. I have something confidential to discuss with Brother Gu. You two should leave."
In the dark, Qianjun and Jiangmo exchanged a glance, slightly hesitant. But then they realized—if Tang Chen truly intended to take action, there was no need to send them away.
If anything happened to Gu Han here, Tang Chen would undoubtedly be implicated. He wouldn't do something so foolish.
The two emerged and bowed respectfully. Then, exchanging a glance with Gu Han and seeing him nod, they left with peace of mind.
Only when Tang Chen and Gu Han were completely alone did Tang Chen finally speak.
"Brother Gu, have you ever heard of Poseidon Island?"
Gu Han frowned slightly. He knew about it, of course, but why did Tang Chen suddenly bring it up? Unable to guess what the other was thinking, Gu Han simply asked directly.
"Of course, I've heard of Seagod Island, but I'm not sure why you mentioned it."
"Seagod Island, according to legend, is the place where the Seagod inherits his legacy. Some time ago, Brother Qian approached me, saying that other divine powers had appeared within the statue of the Angel God.
It was as thick and vast as the ocean. He suspected this was the will of the Angel God, so he planned to explore the area and invited me to join him."
"Other divine powers…"
Gu Han's expression suddenly became solemn. Based on the description, it was most likely the power of the Seagod. If so, then the Angel God's fall was real—and connected to the Seagod.
The Seagod's power had appeared in the place where the Angel God once left his legacy. Could it be that the Seagod was planning something?
Tang Chen continued, "If I don't receive the Seagod's approval this time, I will no longer concern myself with the affairs of the continent. I will focus solely on finding an opportunity to break through to level 100."
"I wonder if there's anything I can do for you, Senior?"
Gu Han bowed his head respectfully.
"Can you please tell me about your Tai Chi sword? Don't worry, I swear on my spirit that I won't reveal it to anyone, or my spirit will be shattered and die."
"I can sense your Tai Chi sword. It's not just a sword technique, but more like a state of mind—usable with any weapon."
"Of course, I won't treat you unfairly. In exchange, I will pass on my lifelong cultivation experience and the secret ring-blasting technique of my Haotian Sect."
At Tang Chen's level, secret techniques may no longer have been important. What mattered was advancement. If it could help him advance, he was willing to offer anything in exchange.
Hearing this, Gu Han smiled and waved his hand.
"Senior, there's no need for that. My sword art isn't particularly impressive. If you'd like to learn, I'll naturally be generous."
Gu Han had long anticipated Tang Chen's interest in his Tai Chi sword. A person of Tang Chen's stature naturally wouldn't go back on his word.
Furthermore, Gu Han wasn't worried about Tang Chen teaching the mastery of Tai Chi sword to others in the Haotian Sect.
While Tai Chi was powerful, it wasn't something everyone could master. Some, despite their exceptional talent, might still take a lifetime to grasp it.
Unless someone like Sword Douluo had already accumulated profound knowledge in swordsmanship, even reaching the Tai Chi realm would mean little.
Gu Han wasn't worried. To hide it out of fear that someone might learn and use it against him would be a sign of weakness.
Besides, the Tai Chi realm wasn't his true core secret. Trading it for the cultivation experience of a level 99 powerhouse and the legendary Ring Explosion skill was no loss at all.
"Hahaha, good, good, good! I've seen it all along—Brother Gu's spirit is far beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Tang Chen laughed heartily, repeating the word "good" three times in a row.
He truly admired youths with such spirit, talent, and intelligence.
For the next three days, the two of them remained on the mountain.
Not only did Gu Han share his insights into the Tai Chi realm, but Tang Chen also passed down his teachings.
It was safe to say Gu Han had profited greatly. His understanding of martial spirits and his combat experience both deepened tremendously.
Most interesting of all was the Ring Explosion skill.
Although Gu Han's spirit rings were illusory, they could still be detonated.
This skill was truly extraordinary. Just by exploding the first two rings, Gu Han felt his attributes skyrocket.
However, while powerful, the skill also carried drawbacks. It left him weakened for a long period, requiring immense soul power to restore the destroyed rings.
But for Gu Han, who lacked nothing but soul power recovery speed, this divine skill was tailor-made.
Previously, Gu Han had learned the Chaos Cape techniques and the Nine Arts of Clear Sky from his battles with Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
This time, however, he gained something even more profound from Tang Chen.
It was just like Tai Chi, which wasn't merely fists and swordsmanship, but an artistic conception.
The Chaos Cape and the Nine Arts of Clear Sky also contained profound artistic concepts, but Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were still developing, and Gu Han hadn't yet glimpsed their ultimate mastery.
Now, with Tang Chen's guidance, Gu Han realized this hammer technique could easily be transformed into a sword technique, its power unparalleled and domineering.
He wasn't afraid of having too many skills—more was always better.
Nor was he afraid of being unable to master them. In his eyes, there was no skill he couldn't eventually comprehend. It only took time.
"Senior, thank you for your guidance."
Gu Han respectfully performed the disciple's salute. Although it was called an exchange, what he had received was far greater than what Tang Chen had gained.
Especially the other party's cultivation experience.
Qian Daoliu had once told him: Tang Chen was the first in a thousand years to cultivate to the ninety-ninth level without external aid. The value of his experience was immeasurable.
