Douluo Dalu System - Chapter 59
It had been nearly one month since they started their training, they each made great progress in their abilities, Tang San now was able to perform 79 swings under the waterfall without losing his momentum or the hammer breaking, Oscar was able to produce 5 sausages now instead of one, Ma Hongjin was able to last for nearly three-fifths of an incense time under Tang Hao’s pressure.
Seeing this even Tang Hao was a little taken aback, he felt that he had put enough pressure onto them through their training which would make them have to go through it for half a year before they could succeed but these monsters were able to complete it in just one-sixth of the time.
In fact, he could not be blamed the main reason that they were progressing so quickly was due to the Immortal Herbs they had used, that along with the multiple ten thousand her baths that were provided to them by Tang San. Ten thousand-year-old herbs were treated as a treasure by major clans too on the continent, they could be said to be almost on the same level of immortal herbs but they had a major advantage, one could use multiple herbs without the threat of harming their potential, but to do so one would need a great deal of medical knowledge which was almost impossible to have if they would not spend at least a few decades onto practice.
But Tang San had an advantage, his Magical Space, it was a part of his spirit and had the capability to change the time ratio to a large scale, using that he was able to spend a lot of time onto his side professions. He had enough experience to reach the 8 – star rank in each of his professions which would typically take one a few decades to achieve without any guidance.
In another week, they all were able to complete the tasks Tang Hao had given them, this one month they had gotten quite used to being around the Titled Douluo and were able to freely call him Uncle Hao.
“You three have exceeded my expectations and were able to complete your tasks quite earlier than expected, Oscar as I’ve promised I’ll help you to hunt your next spirit ring, given your level a 7,000 to 9,000 sprit ring shouldn’t be a problem”
“Uncle Hao, I have something in mind”
“??”
“Actually after seeing Ma Hongjin and Tang San’s fourth spirit ring all of us had decided that we would take a Ten Thousand Year Ring as our fourth spirit ring just as they have”
“Oscar, that would not work”
“Brother San…”
“The major problem in absorbing a ten thousand year spirit ring isn’t the power that it has, its the soul shock which you would have to suffer from”
“Soul Shock??”
“I faced that when I absorbed my Spirit Ring, in fact, me absorbing the ten thousand year ring was luck on my part, I had sufficient mental strength and was able to resist it, when a ten thousand year beast dies and produces a spirit ring a part of its soul would be left into the spirit ring which would prevent you from absorbing it, most Spirit King’s are old enough to resist this unconsciously but we all can’t do that, we’re still in the Spirit Ancestor Rank so doing that would leave you with a 60% chance of survival.
Even among the Seven Devil’s only Boss Bai, Hongjin, Rongrong might be able to do this and that is mainly due to their spirits, so think twice before you decide”
“Brother San then it’s all the more reason to do this, how can I let all the others pass me and fall behind?? Uncle Hao, I’ve decided, I want a Ten Thousand Year Ring as my fourth ring”
“You’ve got determination, that’s good, sometimes having determination becomes more important than anything, but know that if you choose to hunt a ten thousand year spirit beast you’ll be the one to hunt the spirit beast, I’ll only help you when you’re sure to die, apart from that you’re on your own kid consider this as your next task”
“B-But I’m a food type spirit master, I can’t hunt a spirit beast on my own!!”
“Fine then, I’ll allow Ma Hongjin to hunt with you but he can only use abilities until his third spirit ring”
Saying that he didn’t wait for their response and picked up all three of them and flew towards an unknown forest.
…
After nearly three days of traveling, they reached an unknown forest which had a lot of Blue Silver Grass growing in it,
“Tang San, this is the place where you’ll awaken your spirit and get your fifth ring, I won’t accompany you so you’ll be all on your own”
He activated his [Red God’s Eye] and his red eyes became gold at the edges,
“But… I can’t see a single spirit beast here??”
“You’ll know once you release your spirit, I’ll leave I still have to help Oscar to hunt for his ring, just follow your spirit”
Saying that he just flew off with Oscar and Ma Hongjin. Tang San who saw that they left released his spirit and a Blue Silver Grass came out from his right hand, it was surrounded by four ring – Red, Red, Red, Red. He didn’t bother to conceal them as he could sense that no one was around with his Spiritual Detection and [Red God’s Eye].
He felt a strange force call out to him and he heard a voice,
“King is that you??”
He knew that this was the Blue Silver King so he just followed where the voice came from. He reached an open area and saw a huge tree which had blue grass growing on it, he knew that this was the Blue Silver King, he was able to feel the connection to it through his Blue Silver Grass,
“King, it is you!! I’ve been waiting a long time to meet you”
“Are you the Blue Silver King??”
“Yes, Yes!! Though I may be called the King you’re the Emperor who rules even above me”
“I’m not sure above that, my grass is still only the Blue Silver Grass, I’ve failed to awaken it despite using more than three to four immortal herbs and though my cultivation method was able to induce a golden color onto the grass it still wasn’t able to awaken”
“That’s only natural, there is no way that one can awaken it even if they use the best resources, there are many other ways to awaken it but most of them require one to undergo a painful process to do it, though using my help you wouldn’t need to undergo through all”
“Then can I ask you to help me awaken it??”
“It would be my honor, may I know what your name is??”
“My name is Tang San”
“Great King, when you awaken you spirit do you wish to forever shelter your subjects??”
“I do”
Two drops of tears fell from the human face on the tree,
“After Twenty years, we can finally feel your presence, we are no longer motherless children. Your Majesty, Please sense your subjects worship”
After saying that a large number of blue lights fell onto Tang San, he could sense that these blue lights were coming from all the grasses from the forest. It was a warm feeling, he could feel the unconditional love and affection from these Blue Silver Grasses, it reminded him a mother’s love, though he wasn’t able to experience it in this life or the previous, he was able to vaguely remember it from his first life back from Earth.
This feeling was something he hadn’t felt in a long long time, he had a soft expression on his face right now, just like a baby in his mother’s arms. He didn’t do anything and just let himself be absorbed by the blue light this light even engulfed his spirit and spirit rings.
After a long time, he had woken up and saw that his hair had grown to his waist and had turned deep blue, he took out a full-body mirror from the Twenty Four Moonlight Bridges and saw that his whole body had undergone quite a few changes, his originally white skin had a healthy pink color to it, his body structure was already perfect so there weren’t any changes to that.
His face had become quite handsome, if he dressed up more fashionably then he would even pass out for a noble’s son and his eyes which were previously completely red had now acquired a blue color to the borders of his iris with the red color still in it.
He activated his [Red God’s Eye] and saw that the blue color was now replaced by a gold color which surrounded the red irises. He then saw that there was a new ring to his spirit, a deep black one with a slight red color to it. He then opened the system’s status,

He saw that his status now had another name to him, Thousand Hands Asura, this was something which he had decided when he entered the Suo Tuo City Colosseum so he wasn’t bothered by it. He found that the previous [Blue Silver Emperor (sealed)] had become [Blue Silver Emperor], he was truly happy, he was able to notice that the first two-spirit rings now had two abilities instead of the usual one, he actually felt like the system had undergone a minor update due to his Second Awakening of the Blue Silver Grass.
The Fifth Spirit Ring was only one short of hundred thousand year range, he was sure that he would be able to bring it to the Hundred Thousand Year Stage before the Spirit Emperor Rank but he was still worried about bringing it to the million-year range, he knew his body better than anyone and for him to reach the million-year range which would be termed as the god stage he would need a god-level body, but that was something he wasn’t sure he could achieve.
He then skimmed through his status once more just to check if he hadn’t missed anything but he soon found a problem, his Inheritances were all sealed for some reason, this wasn’t something that he felt bad about but instead, he felt a little relieved.
He knew that according to the rules of the divine realm, one god could choose only one successor so they wouldn’t want to give away someone who they have trained or wanted to be their successor to another god. He knew that to get the Asura’s power he would need to get the Death God’s Domain before he could get the Sea God’s Mark.
If he went to Slaughter City after he got the Sea God’s Mark then he would surely not get the Death God Domain as the Sea God’s Heart would reject another divinity to occupy its host. But if it was sealed, he wouldn’t need to worry about any of that and cultivate as he normally would.
But now a sense of urgency had taken over him, he didn’t know when the sealed status would be removed, if he didn’t hurry then he would not gain the Death God Domain and he would consecutively not be able to awaken the Asura Domain.
