A Perfect Grasp of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record?

A perfect grasp of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record?

Before Qin Yun could even finish marveling, a cool sensation flowed into his mind, and countless memories were forcibly fused into him by the system.

Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye, Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing, Mysterious Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Hundred Explanations of Hidden Weapons!

The legacy arts of the Tang Sect, passed down for thousands of years on another planet, had been perfectly mastered by Qin Yun in the blink of an eye.

The only exception was the Purple Demon Eye, which required him to accumulate purple qi at sunrise. For now, he had only reached the Overview level.

Combined with his eye Martial Soul, he could just barely bring it up to the Subtle level.

As for the other techniques and theoretical arts, the system had directly raised them to the Great Mastery level.

Even Tang San, a prodigy of the Tang Sect, might not have surpassed him in mastery of these arts.

Perhaps, in terms of Soul Power Level, Qin Yun really was inferior to Tang San at the moment.

But overwhelming strength could overcome a hundred techniques!

Before inheriting these arts, Qin Yun had possessed three thousand jin of strength but had no idea how to use it.

Now, he truly had wings like a tiger!

"What a stupid system. This system is amazing!"

System: "..."

What was up with God King Tang? Weren't he supposed to be a hypocrite and cold-hearted?

Someone had practically shoved it in his face, yet he could still grin shamelessly?

Was this really God King Tang?!

"Don't get the wrong idea. Just like this young brother, I'm also a student at Nuoding City's Junior Soul Master Academy."

Old Jack glanced at the tall, handsome Qin Yun, then at the utterly ordinary Tang San, and couldn't help sighing inwardly.

Tang Hao!

You really were a damned bastard!

Just look at the son you raised, then look at the other boys his age. The difference couldn't be clearer.

After chatting for a while, Qin Yun learned that Old Jack and Tang San didn't know where the academy was, so he suggested they travel there together.

First, there was his Spirit Hall identification. Then there was the way he spoke and carried himself.

After observing Qin Yun carefully and deciding he seemed trustworthy, Tang San gradually let his guard down.

He even managed to conceal the Silent Sleeve Arrow tucked into his cuff.

And to be blunt, faced with a "sunny boy" like Qin Yun, even a gloomy fellow like Tang San couldn't help feeling a little envious.

Especially once they started talking about Soul Masters. Hearing Qin Yun describe that world filled Tang San with excitement.

He'd been on this continent for six years, and today he was finally learning about its cultivation system in a systematic way.

"Soul Tools, Martial Souls—what an interesting world!"

As for Qin Yun—

If even a half-baked fellow like Gangzi could fool Tang San, then surely Qin Yun could do even better.

Before binding himself to the system, he'd only wanted to follow the group and become a god.

But now, he clearly had a better idea, even with this stupid system around.

[After enduring a God King's pressure for an extended period, you have stood shoulder to shoulder with the gods in a mortal body. Your will is worthy of being remembered through the ages, and you have successfully triggered a main quest!]

[Quest One: Sea God's Might. Under the Sea God's pressure, Soul Power cultivation speed increases by 100%, and Soul Power recovery speed increases by 100%!

Notice: According to the regulations of the God Realm Committee, members of the Divine Realm may not descend to the mortal world without permission. Under the supervision of the God King of Destruction, even Tang San, a fellow God King, cannot remain in the mortal world for long.

Since your will is so strong that you can withstand the Sea God's pressure, make good use of this opportunity to cultivate!]

Sea God's pressure?

Did that mean he could enjoy twice the cultivation efficiency as long as he stayed near Tang San?

Qin Yun quietly sensed the flow of his Soul Power. Since the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record had already reached Great Mastery, the Mysterious Heaven Skill could circulate on its own without him consciously controlling it.

In other words, unlike Tang San, who had to steady his mind and meditate to cultivate, Qin Yun could keep cultivating all twenty-four hours of the day.

And, just as the system had said, as long as he endured the Sea God's pressure—that is, stayed near Tang San—the cultivation efficiency of the Mysterious Heaven Skill could double!

"The flow of my Soul Power really has become smoother. At this rate, I could gain six levels in a year during the early stages of cultivation!"

Excluding the time Tang San had wasted learning from Gangzi, his early cultivation speed had been about three levels a year.

With the Mysterious Heaven Skill at Great Mastery and the pressure quest, gaining six levels a year didn't seem exaggerated.

"I just don't know how far this pressure reaches. To be safe, I'll have to test it properly later!"

[The Tang San of ten thousand years ago was still a decent person. But ten thousand years later, he had become cruel and tyrannical, even capable of making a move on his own daughter!

The host managed to make such a being feel fond of him. Truly, you're a natural-born charmer. You have successfully triggered the system quest, God King's Affection!]

[Quest Two: God King's Affection. For every ten-point increase in Tang San's affection for the host, you will receive one draw from the relevant character's rewards. Current affection: (0/100)!

Notice: Although this system has no idea how you managed it, divine grace is as boundless as the sea, and divine might as terrifying as a prison.

Unless you reach one hundred percent loyalty, given God King Tang's temperament, his affection could plunge straight from +99 to -99!

A drop in affection won't make you lose your rewards, but if you offend God King Tang, the host's fate probably won't be pleasant!]

Just as the system had said, the Tang San of the Douluo II era was truly beyond the pale.

To scheme against the child of destiny, Huo Yuhao, he'd personally intervened, splitting the essence of his daughter Tang Wutong into two. He'd shaped one half into a human and turned the other into a beast.

And to discipline his son-in-law Huo Yuhao and make him obediently serve the Tang family, Tang San had even put a chastity lock on Tang Wutong.

Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. When it came to acting like an animal, God King Tang truly seemed to have mastered it without a teacher.

But if you pushed the timeline back ten thousand years—

During the Douluo I era, the Tang San in the novel was still rather bizarre, often glaring with bloodshot eyes and panting like a bull, declaring that someone deserved to die.

But in the manhua and animation, he seemed much more normal.

With the other man's "Sea God's pressure" weighing on him, raising his affection a little by force seemed doable.

"I just wonder what kind of reward I'll get!"

His eyes rolled as they walked toward the academy. Qin Yun kept his attention on Tang San, ready to make a move and test the waters.

"Young Brother Tang San, right..."

"Brother Yun, you're too polite. Just call me Xiao San. Grandpa Village Chief and everyone in Holy Soul Village call me that."

Tang San scratched his head. As someone who'd been a killer and hadn't had much contact with ordinary people, he seemed a little shy.

"If that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony.

Xiao San, you seem quite curious about the ring on my hand?"

Under Tang San's excited gaze, Qin Yun showed off the Soul Guidance Ring on his finger.

Because its core legacy had been lost, there weren't many Soul Tools on Douluo Continent, though quite a few had been passed down from ancient times.

Storage-type Soul Tools were especially common, since they were used so often.

They weren't just for Soul Masters—even ordinary people could buy one if they had enough money.

But rather than simply showing off to Tang San, Qin Yun wanted to use this chance to raise his affection.

"This is a storage-type Soul Tool. It's nothing particularly precious. With your talent, Xiao San, you'll be able to buy one once you become a Soul Master.

"But aside from its storage function, this ring is also the Tang Sect's Sect Master token. My master passed it on to me before he died."

Tang San: "!!!"
