Tang Hao Attacks, Unlocking the Seventh Spirit Ring

Tang San left Tang Chuan's residence, his heart filled with anticipation and unease. He had no idea how his mother was doing now, but since his godfather had said she had not completely died, then there had to be a chance for her revival, right?

On Tang Chuan's side, after Tang San left, the atmosphere around him began to turn strange.

"Come out!"

Facing the window, Tang Chuan used his Blue Silver Domain to sense everything in the surrounding environment. As such, it was very easy for him to tell whether anyone was nearby.

The Blue Silver Emperor martial soul appeared in his palm, and azure Soul Power wrapped around his entire body.

"As expected of Little San's teacher. I've been observing you for several days."

A tall figure abruptly appeared beside the window.

He looked to be around fifty years old. He wore a tattered old robe without a single patch, its fabric worn and torn. His entire body reeked strongly of alcohol, his eyes were clouded and dull, and beneath his hood, his hair was as messy as a bird's nest. His thick, scraggly beard covered a face weathered by hardship and exhaustion.

It was hard to imagine that a Title Douluo—one who was even the Clear Sky Douluo—could look like this.

"Young man, your martial soul is quite impressive."

Tang Hao could not help but take a few more looks at Tang Chuan and his martial soul. Tang Chuan's appearance was remarkably similar to Ah Yin's; Tang Hao would have believed it if someone said they were relatives. Moreover, his martial soul was also the Blue Silver Emperor.

"You're... the Clear Sky Douluo?!"

Tang Chuan put on an expression of shock. He did not think Tang Hao would rashly make a move now. The man had likely come here to toss him a token.

"That's right, though that was all in the past. After meeting you today, I'm very reassured. Little San is in your care."

"Besides, you resemble an... old friend of mine."

From beginning to end, Tang Hao did not use the rank of a Title Douluo to pressure Tang Chuan. He merely spoke of his own thoughts and his intention to leave.

Over these past few days of observation, Tang Hao had seen everything Tang Chuan did, from taking Tang San to the Star Dou Great Forest to reasoning with Yu Xiaogang. Not only did Tang Chuan possess exceptional cultivation talent, but he was also highly intelligent.

Tang Hao was very reassured leaving Little San in his care.

As for Yu Xiaogang, a trace of disdain flashed through Tang Hao's eyes. Though that old fellow came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was merely a level twenty-nine piece of trash. Tang Hao planned to go have some "fun" with him later.

"Little San is your son. How can you just leave whenever you want?"

"That's why I said I'm very reassured about you. Little San is in your care. Take this."

Tang Hao did not answer any of Tang Chuan's questions about Tang San. Instead, he pulled out a token and tossed it to Tang Chuan. After putting on his hood, he prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to go, Tang Hao suddenly paused. Turning his head slightly toward Tang Chuan, he said, "Actually, you resemble my son very much. If there's a chance, I'd truly like to have a proper chat with you."

With that, Tang Hao vanished into the night in the blink of an eye, leaving Tang Chuan standing alone in the room.

He had gained a token, yet Tang Hao had gotten to take advantage of him for free?

Damn Tang Hao, you truly had a death wish!

Tang Chuan shook his head, closed the window, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating.

Today, Tang San had listened to him and believed in Ah Yin's existence. This had indirectly advanced and altered the development and direction of the plot.

As the words "Not Unlocked" behind the seventh soul ring on the system panel shattered into fragments, Tang Chuan felt a dense surge of energy continuously coursing through his meridians.

[God-Given Seventh Soul Ring, Soul Skill: Blue Silver True Body]

[The body transforms into the Blue Silver Emperor's primordial form. All attributes are increased by over two hundred percent. The Blue Silver Domain simultaneously evolves into Forest of Myriad Phenomena, capable of absorbing the power of Blue Silver Grass and vegetation from heaven and earth over a vast area.]

Boom!

A crimson soul ring revolved continuously around Tang Chuan's body, its terrifying energy fluctuations forcibly confined within a small area.

Dense dark-red patterns also appeared across Tang Chuan's skin. Blue Silver Emperor vines spread outward from him, resembling a blooming lotus flower.

From that night until the morning of the third day, more than a full day passed before Tang Chuan finally absorbed the soul ring completely as his aura gradually stabilized.

"Phew... A single hundred-thousand-year soul ring actually took this long, and it was even given by the system. Still, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring truly lived up to its name. I jumped straight to level seventy-four."

After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Tang Chuan rose and stretched his limbs. When he saw himself in the mirror, he froze for a moment. He now looked practically like a heavenly god.

He had a handsome face, sea-blue hair, pale-blue eyes, sharp yet refined brows and features, and fair, translucent skin. His entire presence radiated a divine aura mixed with the vitality of grass and trees.

Crack!

All eight spider legs spread out from his back, and the surface of the spider spears gleamed with golden light.

"Mm, I'm already getting that Sea God vibe."

Tang Chuan nodded, highly satisfied with his current state. He just did not know whether, once the template unlocked the Sea God's divine position, he would directly become the Sea God or need to undergo the nine trials again.

That was still far off. Tang Chuan felt that, for now, he should deal with a few scattered matters first.

After washing up, Tang Chuan opened the door and saw Tang San standing outside.

"Little San? How long have you been here?"

"Not long. When I arrived, I noticed that you seemed to be cultivating, Godfather, so I waited here first."

Tang Chuan had nearly been startled. Due to absorbing the soul ring, he had not activated his Blue Silver Domain—or rather, Forest of Myriad Phenomena.

"Godfather, about what we agreed on before..."

"I remember. Let's go to the back mountain."

The moment Tang Chuan heard Tang San's words, he remembered that he had promised to spar with him using the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Seeing that Tang Chuan still remembered, Tang San's heart filled with joy. That had happened several days ago, yet his godfather still remembered. Sure enough, he had a place in his godfather's heart!

"Little San, once we finish training, we'll set out this afternoon to visit your mother."

"So soon?"

Tang San was somewhat surprised. Thinking it over, two days had indeed passed. He clenched his fists, and even his breathing grew heavy.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the back mountain.

Tang Chuan controlled the Blue Silver Emperor to clear an open space, and he and Tang San stood facing each other.

Tang San's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a streak of purple light burst from them.

Purple Demon Eye!

Every movement in the surroundings entered Tang San's sight, while Tang Chuan had no intention of holding back. Since this was a pure contest of cultivation techniques, going all out was the best way to show respect.

He likewise activated the Purple Demon Eye, but unlike Tang San, the purple glow in Tang Chuan's eyes was even stronger.

"This is... the Mustard Seed Realm at perfection?!"

Tang San felt terrible. When had his godfather cultivated it to this level? He had only taught him for so long, and he had already reached the Mustard Seed Realm?

What Tang San did not know was that once Tang Chuan obtained the Sea God's divine position, his Purple Demon Eye would reach perfection—the Vast Realm.

At that point, Tang Chuan could easily shatter the consciousness of Soul Masters whose cultivation was below his with spiritual power alone.
