Obtaining the Mysterious Heaven Skill

Now that Wu Tong had the Mind's Eye, he could use Mind's Eye: Perspective and Insight to observe the circulation route of the spirit power inside Tang San's body, thereby learning the Tang Sect techniques.

So-called Cultivation Techniques were merely methods for circulating internal energy. Of course, that only applied to low-martial worlds. In some high-martial worlds, Cultivation Techniques involved not only blood energy and the soul, but in more extreme cases, even profound things like laws.

As for the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, it was definitely from a low-martial world. It did not involve things like laws or blood energy; most of it consisted of methods for circulating the body's internal energy. After passing through different acupoints and Meridians, it produced marvelous chemical reactions, thereby forming all kinds of strange effects.

"Now I have the Mind's Eye Soul Bone. I can see through Tang San's body and observe the circulation route of the Mysterious Heaven Skill. As long as I get one chance, even if it's only for an instant, I can rely on Absolute Memory to record the technique's circulation route in detail."

The more Wu Tong thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and he grew increasingly impatient.

"Even the other four techniques can be recorded this way."

As for whether he would be letting Tang San down...

Wu Tong only wanted to laugh.

Tang San, the creator of the Tang Family Continent, the obstacle to the development of the Douluo era, a double-standard dog with an extreme desire for control, the root cause of Evil Spirit Masters running rampant... a person like that could die ten thousand times and it still would not be enough. Who cared what Tang San thought?

Since he had already made up his mind, the highly decisive Wu Tong did not wait any longer and began to act.

If he remembered correctly, Tang San would cultivate in the dormitory for a while every night. Although others thought he was cultivating a Meditation Technique, Wu Tong knew that what Tang San cultivated was the martial arts technique from another world, the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

"In that case, there'll be a chance tonight. As long as I take one look, I can get this technique."

At that thought, Wu Tong could no longer hold back. He got up, packed his things, and left the Library.

After returning to the dormitory.

It was already noon. Tang San was not in the dormitory. At this time, he should have been working at the blacksmith's shop outside the academy.

Wu Tong did not care. After washing up and getting onto the bed.

He sat cross-legged at the head of the bed and began circulating the Meditation Technique, entering cultivation.

After obtaining a Spirit Ring, Wu Tong's spirit power cultivation had reached rank thirteen. Part of that came from the spirit power he had accumulated while stuck at the bottleneck, and part of it came from absorbing a Spirit Ring above his level.

However, this spirit power was not pure. Wu Tong circulated the Meditation Technique, compressing and refining his spirit power bit by bit, compressing the somewhat illusory spirit power again and making it pure.

By the time he woke again, it was already night. The spirit power inside his body had been condensed and become pure again. Feeling that the spirit power in his body had decreased by nearly one-fifth, Wu Tong did not feel disappointed. After all, although his spirit power had regressed, its quality had increased.

Time always passed quickly during cultivation. In the blink of an eye, it was night.

Wu Tong, having finished cultivating, opened his eyes. Most of the students in the dormitory had already returned, and many of them were cultivating on their beds. After all, talent did not come easily for poor people, so every child cherished it.

Tang San was naturally among them.

Tang San sat on a bed in the corner in the Five Hearts Facing Heaven posture, legs crossed, hands placed on his knees with palms facing upward, circulating his technique.

A good chance.

When Wu Tong saw this, he no longer wasted time. Taking advantage of the fact that Tang San still had his eyes closed in cultivation, he circulated the spirit power in his body, and the lines between his brows emitted specks of light.

Mind's Eye: Perspective.

In Wu Tong's eyes, Tang San's clothes gradually vanished. His skin, flesh, Meridians, and acupoints also slowly faded, becoming semi-transparent.

A stream of energy wandered through Tang San's body. The energy flowed along the complex Meridians within his body, passing through one acupoint after another, like an intricate network of rivers spread throughout Tang San's entire body, constantly washing over his body and drawing the surrounding energy toward Tang San.

After entering Tang San's body, it was swept up by the energy inside him and circulated along the same route. During this process, the energy was assimilated, refined, compressed, and finally became completely Tang San's own internal energy, indistinguishable from it, fusing with the energy from before.

So this is the Mysterious Heaven Skill? As expected, it isn't something a Meditation Technique can compare to.

Wu Tong thought this, but his hands did not slow.

Mind's Eye: Insight.

As the lines emitted a faint glow once more, the circulation of energy inside Tang San's body seemed to slow down. Wu Tong could clearly see every detail of every place the energy passed through—where it needed to be slow, where it needed to be fast, where there needed to be a little more, where there needed to be a little less... all sorts of profundities were clearly presented before Wu Tong's eyes.

"Not good. I'm going to be discovered."

Just then.

Wu Tong observed that the circulation of Tang San's energy was gradually slowing. The muscles in his body began to activate, and his finger twitched.

Wu Tong understood that Tang San must have sensed something. He hurriedly stopped circulating his spirit power, shut off the use of the Soul Bone, closed his eyes again, and pretended to be cultivating.

Everything was completed in the span of a short instant.

Who was spying on me?

Sensing a feeling of being watched, Tang San opened his eyes and swept his gaze across the dormitory. Naturally, he found nothing.

Was it my imagination?

Tang San scratched his head in confusion. Finding that no one was looking at him, he classified the feeling as an illusion.

Since his cultivation had been interrupted, Tang San did not intend to continue. Instead, he left the dormitory to wash up, then planned to get into bed and sleep. After all, there were still many things to do tomorrow.

After Tang San left, Wu Tong opened his eyes again and let out a breath.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness. I wasn't discovered. I've successfully memorized the spirit power circulation route. Next are the other techniques, but there's no rush for those. I still have six years."

While Wu Tong felt fortunate, he also could not help feeling extremely excited. After all, the greatest cheat that helped Tang San rise, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, was already one-sixth in his possession. As long as he obtained the other techniques, along with his own talent of Innate Full Soul Power, even if he needed to study them, his cultivation speed would not be slower than others.

Wu Tong, who had nearly been discovered, had been mentally strung taut. Now that he suddenly relaxed, a sense of exhaustion surged into his heart. (/"≡_≡)/~

Sleep. The rest could wait until tomorrow.

Wu Tong no longer pretended to cultivate. He moved his body a little, then got into bed, buried himself in the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep. (3[____]

The next day.

Just as the sky had begun to brighten, two people walked out of the dormitory one after the other.

Wu Tong was the first to leave. He went to the rooftop and waited for Tang San to come up. Wu Tong knew that Tang San cultivated the Purple Demon Eyes here every day.

A few minutes later, Tang San also came up.

He glanced at Wu Tong, a little surprised, not knowing why he had come to the rooftop. But when he saw Wu Tong take out a copy of Douluo Heroes Chronicle and sit nearby to open it, he was speechless again. The surprise in his eyes also turned into a gaze carrying a trace of contempt.
