Tang San left Tang Chuan's residence, filled with expectation and anxiety. He didn't know how his mother was doing now, but since his godfather had said she hadn't completely died, there must still be a chance for resurrection, right?
On Tang Chuan's side, once Tang San left, the surrounding atmosphere began to turn eerie.
"Come out!"
Tang Chuan faced the window; his Blue Silver Domain had sensed the entire surrounding environment, so it was very easy to discover if anyone was there.
The Blue Silver Emperor Spirit appeared on his palm, and the azure spirit power wrapped around his entire body.
"As expected of Little San's teacher, I have been observing you for several days."
A tall figure suddenly appeared by the window.
He was about fifty years old, wearing an old, ragged robe without patches, the fabric worn and torn. His entire body reeked of strong alcohol, his eyes were turbid and dull, the hair under his hood was messy like a bird's nest, his beard was unkempt and thick, and his face was full of wind, frost, and exhaustion.
It was hard to imagine that a Titled Douluo, and even the Clear Sky Douluo at that, would look like this.
"Young man, your Spirit is quite good."
Tang Hao couldn't help but look at Tang Chuan and his Spirit a few more times, because the other person's appearance was actually so similar to Ah Yin's—he would have believed it if someone said they were relatives—and his Spirit was also the Blue Silver Emperor.
"You are... the Clear Sky Douluo?!"
Tang Chuan feigned shock. He didn't think Tang Hao would act rashly right now; the other person had probably come here to drop off a token for him.
"Indeed, but those are things of the past. Seeing you today, I am very reassured; I leave Little San to you."
"Also, you very much resemble an... old acquaintance of mine."
From beginning to end, Tang Hao did not use the rank of a Titled Douluo to suppress Tang Chuan, merely stating his own views and his intention to leave.
For Tang Chuan, after these days of observation—from taking Tang San to the Star Dou Great Forest to reasoning with Yu Xiaogang—Tang Hao had seen it all. The other person not only had excellent cultivation talent but also possessed very high wisdom.
Entrusting Little San to him, Tang Hao was very reassured.
As for that Yu Xiaogang, a flash of disdain crossed Tang Hao's eyes. Although this old boy was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, he was nothing more than a twenty-ninth-rank trash. Tang Hao planned to go find him to "play" a little later.
"Little San is your son; how can you just leave like that?"
"That is why I said I am very reassured. I leave Little San to you. Take this."
Tang Hao did not answer the questions regarding Tang San; instead, he took out a token and tossed it to Tang Chuan, then pulled up his hood and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to leave, Tang Hao suddenly paused, turned his head slightly, and said to Tang Chuan: "Actually, you are very much like my son. If there is a chance, I really would like to have a good chat with you."
After saying this, Tang Hao disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye, leaving Tang Chuan alone in the room.
He had obtained a token, and had also been taken advantage of by Tang Hao for nothing?
Damn Tang Hao, you truly have a way of courting death!
Tang Chuan shook his head, closed the window, and immediately sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.
Today, Tang San had listened to his words and believed in the existence of Ah Yin, which indirectly promoted and changed the development and direction of the plot.
As the words "Not Unlocked" behind the seventh spirit ring on the system panel turned into fragments, Tang Chuan only felt a rich energy begin to circulate constantly through his meridians.
[God-given Seventh spirit ring, Spirit Ability: Blue Silver True Body]
[The main body transforms into the original form of the Blue Silver Emperor, increasing all attributes by over two hundred percent. The Blue Silver Domain simultaneously evolves into the Forest of Myriad Manifestations, capable of absorbing the power of Blue Silver plants and trees from heaven and earth on a large scale.]
Boom!
A scarlet spirit ring rotated continuously around Tang Chuan, and the terrifying energy fluctuations were forcibly locked within a small range.
Dark red patterns also appeared on the surface of Tang Chuan's skin, and the Blue Silver Emperor grew outwards with him as the center, like a lotus flower.
From that night until the morning of the third day, a full day and more had passed. As his aura gradually stabilized, Tang Chuan finally finished absorbing this spirit ring.
"Phew... a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring actually required such a long time, and it was given by the system. But it really is worthy of being a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring; this jump brought me directly to the seventy-fourth rank."
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Tang Chuan stood up and stretched his muscles. He was stunned when he saw himself in the mirror because he now looked like a god.
A handsome face, long sea-blue hair, light blue eyes, sharp and refined features, and translucent fair skin; his entire aura exuded a sense of divinity and the essence of plants and trees.
Click!
Eight spider legs on his back fully unfolded, the surface of the spider spears glowing with gold.
"Hmm, it already has the vibe of the Sea God."
Nodding, Tang Chuan was very satisfied with the current situation. He just didn't know if, when the template reached the unlock level for the Sea God God Position, he would directly become the Sea God, or if he would need to undergo the Nine Trials again?
These were still quite far off; Tang Chuan still believed he should resolve some trivial matters first.
After cleaning himself up, Tang Chuan opened the door and saw Tang San standing at the entrance.
"Little San? How long have you been here?"
"Not very long. When I first arrived, I found that you, Godfather, seemed to be cultivating, so Little San just stood here and waited."
Tang Chuan was almost startled. Due to the absorption of the spirit ring, he hadn't activated his Blue Silver Domain or Forest of Myriad Manifestations.
"Godfather, what we agreed on before..."
"I still remember. Let's go, to the back mountain."
Tang Chuan remembered what they had agreed upon as soon as he heard Tang San's words—he had promised to spar with him using the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Seeing that Tang Chuan still remembered, Tang San's heart was filled with joy. This was something from a few days ago; he didn't expect his godfather to still remember. As expected, he had him in his heart!
"Little San, after we finish practicing this afternoon, we will set off to see your mother."
"So soon?"
Tang San was a bit surprised. Thinking about it carefully, two days had indeed passed. Clenching his fists, Tang San's breathing became a bit heavy.
As they spoke, the two reached the back mountain.
Controlling the Blue Silver Emperor to clear an open space, Tang Chuan and Tang San stood opposite each other.
Tang San's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a flash of purple light burst from them.
Purple Demon Eye!
Every movement around him was captured by Tang San, and Tang Chuan had no intention of going easy. Since it was a pure contest of techniques, giving his all was the best way to treat it.
He also activated the Purple Demon Eye, but unlike Tang San, the purple light in Tang Chuan's eyes was even more intense.
"This is... the Mustard Seed Realm perfected?!"
Tang San was completely thrown off. How long had his godfather been practicing this? He had only taught him for a short time; how was it already at the Mustard Seed Realm?
But what Tang San didn't know was that as long as Tang Chuan obtained the Sea God God Position, his Purple Demon Eye would reach perfection, which was the Vast Ocean Realm.
At that time, Tang Chuan would be able to easily shatter the consciousness of Spirit Masters with lower cultivation realms than his just by relying on his mental force.
