"Sect Master... ah, no, Teacher, what is this?"
Tang Ya gazed in confusion at the ball of pure azure light in Tang Chuan's hand. The blue silver grass Martial Soul she had released actually stirred with an absolute craving.
"This is an opportunity to evolve your blue silver grass into blue silver king. I believe that after it evolves, the way you cultivate your Martial Soul will also undergo some special changes."
Tang Chuan spoke softly.
"..."
Tang Ya stared blankly at Tang Chuan with her beautiful eyes.
An opportunity to evolve...
"R-really?"
Even Tang Ya's voice was trembling.
Seeing this, Tang Chuan smiled faintly and sent the azure light straight into Tang Ya's hand, where it merged with the blue silver grass she held.
"Of course. Consider this your apprenticeship gift from your teacher. Calm your mind and absorb it."
Tang Ya hurriedly thanked Tang Chuan, then began merging with this power of evolution. She could only feel her blue silver grass transforming, a sensation that seemed to soothe even her soul.
"Ancestor, thank you for helping Xiaoya."
Bei Bei was even more excited, his voice trembling.
Naturally, he hoped to see Tang Ya continue cultivating her Martial Soul, rather than have her progress halted by blue silver grass's innate shortcomings...
"There's no need to thank me."
Tang Chuan shook his head with a smile.
"When the blue silver grass Martial Soul evolves, it releases extremely pure life force. You can take this opportunity to cultivate. Perhaps it will speed up your blue lightning tyrant dragon Martial Soul's evolution into the radiant sacred dragon."
Tang Chuan also reminded Bei Bei at this moment. Bei Bei's Martial Soul was likewise at a critical stage of evolution. If he could take this opportunity to comprehend the process of evolution, the benefits would naturally be plentiful.
"Yes, Ancestor."
Seeing this, Bei Bei also sat down cross-legged and began cultivating.
Tang Chuan slowly rose and walked a short distance away to sit down. Tang Ya's evolution seemed to need some more time, so he planned to take this opportunity to test...
The so-called Tidal Body Tempering!
"Hum-!"
As Tang Chuan's consciousness entered his Sea of Consciousness, he suddenly discovered that his Sea of Consciousness...
Seemed to have truly become an ocean.
"Whoosh-!"
The seawater churned, surging toward Tang Chuan without cease. It contained a power that could continuously temper his soul, and every wash of seawater twisted his face with pain.
It was a process of his spiritual power being scattered and then condensing anew.
The pain was easy to imagine!
"Tempering at this level will indeed greatly increase the strength of my spiritual power. I just don't know..."
"How much it can improve my physical body."
Tang Chuan felt as though chains had imprisoned him in this Sea of Consciousness, leaving him to endure the seawater's ceaseless scouring.
Although he found it difficult to understand...
How this spiritual tempering could improve his physical body!
But the system said it could.
Then it could.
Until dawn broke.
"Boom-!"
When Tang Chuan opened his bloodshot eyes, brilliant purple-gold light suddenly burst from his pupils. It was a manifestation of his spiritual power, which had increased considerably.
"This Tidal Body Tempering really does work. My spiritual power has improved significantly, and even my physical body..."
Tang Chuan clenched his fists.
He felt a warmth radiating from his flesh and blood, a sign that his physical body was improving. The results were extremely good.
And just then.
A pure life force suddenly burst forth. Tang Chuan looked up and saw Tang Ya's entire body bathed in azure light.
Around her body.
Stalks of blue silver king sprouted, more robust than ordinary blue silver grass and brimming with an even stronger aura of life.
"It worked!"
Bei Bei was thrilled.
And because of her Martial Soul's evolution, Tang Ya's hair actually began changing from black to an inky blue. Her bearing also underwent an earth-shaking transformation as she slowly raised her eyes to gaze at the blue silver king in her hand.
"My Martial Soul... really evolved!"
Tang Ya shed tears of excitement.
She could feel that the bottleneck in her cultivation had completely vanished.
"Teacher, thank you."
Tang Ya hurriedly thanked Tang Chuan as he approached with his hands clasped behind his back, only to see him shake his head with a smile and gesture for her to rise.
[Credibility of the lie "I am Lord Tang Wang": 10%] [Disciple Tang Ya's Martial Soul has evolved into blue silver king, and her disposition has changed. The original storyline has been altered. Host receives: Blue Silver Emperor Evolution Progress 14%, Soul Power increased by one level.]
Tang Chuan's Soul Power reached level eighteen at that moment.
He smiled.
Then he gathered his thoughts and said to Tang Ya, "Get used to your Martial Soul first. I'll wait for you here tonight."
"I'll guide you in how to cultivate your blue silver king Martial Soul."
Tang Ya and Bei Bei nodded. After bidding Tang Chuan farewell, the two hurried off to class.
"If I remember correctly... Yuhao starts classes today too, doesn't he? I might as well take a stroll around Shrek."
Tang Chuan strolled leisurely through Shrek Academy.
Without realizing it.
Tang Chuan had wandered over to the new students' dormitory building. Since the new students had all gone to class, it was relatively quiet here.
"We meet again, young friend."
A gentle voice rang out.
Tang Chuan noticed Mu En looking at him and immediately nodded with a smile. "The sunshine is lovely here. No wonder you enjoy basking in the sun in this spot, sir."
"Hehe, seeing those vibrant new students is a pleasure of sorts for an old man like me."
Mu En narrowed his eyes, a smile on his lips.
"I see that your appearance bears a striking resemblance to that ancestor of our Shrek Academy, Sea God Tang San. It seems you truly share a fated connection with Ancestor Tang San."
As though he had not heard the probing intent in Mu En's words, Tang Chuan continued without a change in expression. "Oh? Is that so?"
"May I ask what your Martial Soul is, young friend?"
Mu En asked directly.
"As luck would have it, my Martial Soul is also blue silver grass."
Tang Chuan sat down on a reclining chair not far from Mu En and replied leisurely. He did not particularly mind telling Mu En the lie that he was Tang San as well.
But compared to saying it himself...
Letting Mu En guess and then fill in his identity in his own mind might be more convincing than stating it outright. That was Tang Chuan's current thinking.
"Then that truly is a fated connection..."
Mu En murmured, his gaze growing a little more serious.
Could it be...
A little while later, Huo Yuhao, who had finished class and was exhausted and drenched in sweat, was returning with Wang Dong. From far away, he spotted Tang Chuan reclining ahead as he cultivated and immediately quickened his pace.
"Teacher!"
Wang Dong's steps paused.
She too had spotted Tang Chuan again, that fellow who always felt incredibly familiar to her. She was increasingly convinced that she must have seen his face somewhere before. She had to get to the bottom of it.
So she stepped forward as well and followed him.
"Teacher, what brings you here?"
Huo Yuhao hurried up to Tang Chuan and asked excitedly.
"To wait for you, of course."
Only then did Tang Chuan rise!
Before you continue
