Chapter 8 - The Return Journey, Tang San's Shock, Gangzi's Attack

"Alright, Little San, you're tired from absorbing your spirit ring today. Get some good rest tonight, and definitely don't stay up late cultivating, you hear me?""Little San understands!"After dinner, Tang San watched Tang Chuan's back as he returned to his room. A warmth born from being cared for by family welled up inside him. Is this what it feels like to be looked after? It feels so good!In Tang Chuan's room, he was currently sitting cross-legged on the bed, examining his system panel. Ever since the system had run off, leaving behind only the template and panel functions, Tang Chuan would often stare at it in a daze.[Tang Chuan][Template: Sea God / Asura God Tang San][Blue Silver Emperor spirit ring configuration: Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Black][Clear Sky Hammer spirit ring configuration: Unlocks after Blue Silver Emperor Spirit configuration is complete]This panel was truly quite impressive. Tang Chuan's current combat power was absolutely invincible among those of the same rank, and he could even fight above his level.He looked at his level again.[spirit power level: 67]"It seems that interactions related to Tang San can accelerate the template's progress. I'm already at level 67 now."Tang Chuan rubbed his chin and thought to himself. When he first arrived at Notting Academy, he was only just over level 60, and now he was almost at level 70 to unlock the Spirit Avatar.Relying on the Blue Silver Domain, as long as he could fight on his home turf, Tang Chuan could achieve infinite sustainability, with every blade of Blue Silver Grass providing him with a continuous stream of energy."Forget it, I'll sleep first. I'm heading back to Nuoding City tomorrow morning."Without thinking further, Tang Chuan chose to get some sleep. His schedule had always been very regular; after all, as long as he took Tang San with him, he didn't need to worry about his cultivation at all.Early the next morning.Tang Chuan took Tang San and boarded the carriage returning to Nuoding City.On the carriage, Tang Chuan watched as Tang San, who didn't treat him as an outsider at all, began cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill right in front of him. His mouth couldn't help but twitch.He really treated him like a father. Now he was even cultivating this kind of technique without any hesitation?Meanwhile, Tang San, who appeared to be cultivating with his eyes closed, was actually sensing the changes in his godfather. He had thought about it for a long time last night and decided to let his godfather come into contact with the Mysterious Heaven Skill in advance.This was his godfather, the future Supreme Elder of the Tang Sect. If he had to wait until later to receive the cultivation techniques along with the Tang Sect disciples, wouldn't that make him, Tang San, appear unfilial?But he wanted to give it to him without giving it directly; was there any way to do that? Thus, Tang San planned to let Tang Chuan ask about it proactively in this manner."Little San, what kind of meditation method is this?"Tang Chuan also cooperated well with Tang San and asked directly. Although he knew it himself, if Tang San didn't bring it up, him cultivating it directly would instead ruin the other's favor toward him."Ah? This is Little San's technique, called the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Godfather, if you want to learn it, Little San can teach you.""Oh? Everyone has their own secrets. Little San, that you can treat me so candidly makes me, your father, very gratified!"Tang Chuan reached out a large hand and patted Tang San's head. The latter felt that his plan was a complete success, a flash of wisdom flickering in his eyes.Subsequently, Tang San began to teach Tang Chuan the cultivation method, and Tang Chuan cooperated with him very well, doing exactly as he was told."Alright, Godfather, just circulate your energy according to what Little San just said. Don't be anxious if you don't succeed; after all, it's... your first time?"Watching the aura of the Mysterious Heaven Skill radiating from Tang Chuan's body, Tang San was completely shocked. He succeeded on the first try? And this method of circulation was similar to his own?Tang Chuan's Mysterious Heaven Skill originated from the Tang God King template, so in terms of circulation, it was almost identical to Tang San's."Godfather! You are simply a genius! And your circulation method is just like mine. Could it be that you grasped the knack just by looking at it once?""Something like that. It seems you and I really are destined, Little San!"Tang San nodded heavily. This was more than just destiny; Tang San would even believe it if someone said he and his godfather were cut from the same cloth.Then, Tang San told him about skills like the Purple Demon Eye and the Mysterious Jade Hand. As for the Crane-Catching-Dragon and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, since it was inconvenient in the carriage, Tang San did not rush to pass them on to Tang Chuan.What surprised and delighted Tang San was that Tang Chuan could "learn at a glance" no matter what technique it was. Not only that, even his execution was almost identical to his own. Could his godfather really be a cultivation genius just like him?"This, this, this is simply a miracle!""Just luck. Aren't you the same, Little San? Your own skills are equally extraordinary."Tang San scratched his head quite embarrassedly; his godfather's words had spoken directly to his heart.Along the way, the two discussed the techniques, and Tang San was surprised to discover that his godfather not only had extremely high comprehension, but his insights into these techniques were almost identical to his own.A day passed, and the two finally returned to Nuoding City.Just as Tang Chuan led Tang San through the academy gates, a black figure walked over. It was Yu Xiaogang, who had been waiting there for several days."Why is it this old guy again? I can't give him a good look later, or what if Godfather misunderstands?"Frowning, Tang San's eyes held indifference, and Tang Chuan didn't intend to pay him any mind either, pulling Tang San along as he prepared to leave."Wait!"Seeing that the two didn't even acknowledge him, a nameless fire surged in Yu Xiaogang's heart. He was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, the one with the greatest wisdom!He was also the first love of the current Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, and the Wisdom Corner of the Golden Triangle!"Tang San, your first spirit ring probably isn't very ideal, right? It should be about what I thought. After all, your master here is also Blue Silver Grass, and there's a high probability you incorrectly absorbed a spirit ring of the same type.""How about this: take me as your master. It doesn't matter if your first spirit ring is ruined; the second spirit ring is the critical period of your life. Let this Grandmaster attach the strongest spirit ring for you!""Hmph, I won't say anything about you being fifty years old and only at level 29, but you don't even dare to release your own pig Spirit? Taking your own Spirit as a disgrace means you yourself are a disgrace."Yu Xiaogang was stunned, clearly not expecting the other party to suddenly say something like that, and he was rendered silent and broken."What do you know? There are no trash Spirits, only trash Spirit Masters. I just had a little accident!""A pig is a pig, why make it sound so nice? And 'no trash Spirits'? Listen to that yourself, didn't you just insult yourself twice?"Tang Chuan couldn't be bothered to say anything more to him. He pulled Tang San and walked towards the Seventh Dorm without looking back, leaving Yu Xiaogang standing there alone, his mouth constantly repeating that sentence.Could it be that he really did insult himself twice?Hurriedly shaking his head, Yu Xiaogang suddenly came back to his senses. His ultimate goal was to take Tang San as a disciple and then slap the faces of everyone in this World who looked down on him.This was a twin spirits wielder, a one-in-a-million genius. When he became a Titled Douluo, he could prove that his theories were not flawed!
