Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art
If the Divine Trial were compared to an exam:
Angel God Divine Trial: when you came across a question you couldn't answer, the proctor slipped you a note.
Sea God Trial: when you came across a question you couldn't answer, the person who wrote the exam came to the examination hall and took it for you.
Rakshasa God Divine Trial: a question you couldn't answer? Do it yourself! There was no proctor, and you were the only person in the entire examination hall. You weren't allowed to ask anyone for help; you were given no scratch paper or pen, and there was no seat. You had to hold a horse stance while answering the questions. There was no air conditioning in summer and no heating in winter.
Asura God: as long as he took a liking to you, there was no need for an exam; you got full marks on the spot. He didn't take a liking to you? Go take the exam like everyone else!
In the original story, that old bastard Poseidon, the Sea God, had personally admitted that multiple people had called upon the divine consciousness the Angel God left behind for her Godhood Inheritance.
Of course, that old bastard had naturally called upon it himself as well.
None of them were good birds.
That was why Tang Feng had suggested that Qian Renxue prolong her Divine Trial as much as possible.
Tang Feng wanted to give himself time to grow, ensuring that no other person or god could interfere with the final few stages of Qian Renxue's Divine Trial.
And prolonging the Divine Trial was no difficult task for Qian Renxue.
After all, her grandfather Qian Daoliu was the high priest of the Angel God Divine Trial. With the Angel God gone, as long as no other gods intervened personally, Qian Daoliu could still prolong each stage of the Divine Trial as much as possible.
"All right, no problem. I'll go tell Grandpa right now."
Qian Renxue straightened her appearance and made sure nothing remained at the corners of her mouth before rising to leave.
Inside the room, Tang Feng calmed his mind and looked at the Myriad Heavens Fishing System.
Tang Feng had previously gone to great lengths to save up enough for twenty consecutive draws.
He had hoped to happily draw another Soul Ring. It didn't need to be too old; a million years would do.
But never in his wildest dreams had he expected to draw a staircase!
The other nineteen draws were all empty.
It was the first time Tang Feng had encountered such a low drop rate, and it had made him give up fishing until now.
[Concept: Supreme Grand Staircase (a wooden staircase with five steps, rather brittle. Any living being that falls on the staircase will die on the spot, regardless of level, and cannot be resurrected.)]
Although the Concept: Supreme Grand Staircase was awesome and could even one-shot a creator god under certain conditions,
those conditions were rather difficult to meet.
Ever since Tang Feng had fished up the staircase, he had kept it in storage and never taken it out.
[Current fishing attempts available: 38]
Looking at the thirty-eight fishing attempts on the panel, Tang Feng decided to use them all today.
There was no other reason—he'd just had a good time getting sucked off.
"Use all fishing attempts."
[Obtained: one pair of Zero-Tomoe Sharingan (adapted, USB plug-and-play, bound to the bloodline; evolution level depends on spiritual power)]
"Oh!"
"A good start!"
Tang Feng was overjoyed.
[Obtained: empty] ×13
Tang Feng: sadness~
[Obtained: Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art (adapted)] [Obtained: empty] ×9 [Obtained: one pair of Zero-Tomoe Sharingan (adapted, USB plug-and-play, bound to the bloodline; evolution level depends on spiritual power)] [Obtained: empty] ×12 [Obtained: Bakudo #81: Splitting Void (adapted)]
"Huh!"
"Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art!"
"Dragons are good. Dragons are a symbol of emperors!"
"Wait, that's not right. Why did I get another pair of Sharingan?"
"What did the system mean by this?"
Tang Feng fell silent as he looked at the two pairs of Zero-Tomoe Sharingan in his inventory. A moment later, inspiration flashed through his mind, and he understood the purpose of the second pair.
With one pair of Sharingan, he could only evolve them as far as the Mangekyō Sharingan. With the Hashirama Cells helping him, though, he wouldn't have to worry about going blind.
With another pair of Sharingan, all he had to do was put them in his good brother Tang San's eyes, wait for him to finish evolving them, then scoop them back out. He could then evolve his own Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
How delightful.
At that thought, Tang Feng immediately used one of the pairs of Sharingan in his inventory.
It was called plug-and-play, but it actually fused with his original eyes.
He closed his eyes, and they began to swell and itch.
Feeling tears flow out, Tang Feng reached up and wiped them away. They were a little sticky.
They weren't tears, but blood.
No big deal.
"Xiao Feng, my grandfather..."
Qian Renxue had just been about to tell Tang Feng the good news that her grandfather had agreed to lengthen her Divine Trial period when she saw him inside the room, his eyes tightly shut and blood running from their corners, forming two slender streaks down his face.
Qian Renxue used the Body Flicker Technique to reach Tang Feng's side and supported him, asking anxiously:
"Xiao Feng, are you all right? Should I call someone?"
Tang Feng raised a hand to signal her:
"I'm fine. I feel great right now."
The fusion was complete, and there was no longer any discomfort in his eyes. Tang Feng opened them. They were bright red, unmistakably the pinkeye Sharingan.
And they weren't even the most basic One-Tomoe Sharingan, but the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
"Xiao Feng, are you really all right? Why do your eyes look so red?"
"And there are three little black dots in them." Qian Renxue raised a hand and waved it back and forth in front of Tang Feng.
"Because I learned a kind of Dōjutsu. The little black dots are Tomoe."
"Dōjutsu?" Qian Renxue was confused. Clearly, she had never heard the word before.
"A Soul Skill released through the eyes."
"Oh, I see. As long as you're all right." Seeing that there really was nothing wrong with Tang Feng's eyes, Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief.
She had thought that, being inexperienced on her first try, she had sucked too hard and caused something to go wrong with Tang Feng.
Remembering why she had come to see Tang Feng, Qian Renxue continued:
"Xiao Feng, I told Grandpa about the Angel God. Grandpa seemed to have anticipated it too, and he agreed to extend the Divine Trial period as much as possible."
"He also asked me to ask you: you've been at level forty for a while now, so when are you planning to obtain your fourth Soul Ring? If you have a special means of fully absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, he can have the Worship Hall elders help you hunt a Soul Beast."
What special means, my ass.
He could pass off his first Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as the sacrifice of a humanoid Soul Beast. As for the second, although Tang Feng now had the ability to conceal his Soul Rings' presence well enough that even Dugu Bo couldn't detect them, it still wasn't enough against Qian Daoliu, a Level 99 Limit Douluo.
That old fellow had seen through it after all.
"I haven't decided yet." Tang Feng shook his head and sighed.
That wasn't a lie. He was now strong enough to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but only one under thirty thousand years old.
Setting aside his First Soul Ring, a bloodline ring whose age could still increase in the future,
his second and third Soul Rings were both Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings. Tang Feng really didn't want his fourth to be merely a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Even though he might later go to Sea God Island for its trials and could still increase his Soul Rings' ages, Tang Feng was still reluctant to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
With the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art, however, Tang Feng reckoned he would be able to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring in just a few years.
After adaptation, the first four levels of the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art—Azure Dragon Skin, Azure Dragon Scales, Azure Dragon Wings, and Azure Dragon Body—could be cultivated using only the blood of dragon-type Soul Beasts. Even mixed-blood dragons would do.
To a certain extent, Tang Feng could even use the blood of Soul Masters with dragon-type Martial Souls to cultivate, such as those from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
And on top of that, there was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had fallen.
Tang Feng wasn't worried about his cultivation speed with the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art.
