Douluo Dalu System - Chapter 60

After he had woken up he saw the Blue Silver King and said,

“Thank you”

“Great King, it was an honor to assist you to awaken your blood, you don’t need to thank us”

Tang San just smiled and left without saying anything more, when he had come out of the Forest he saw that his father along with Oscar and Ma Hongjin were waiting for him all this while, it was almost an entire week since he had gone inside the forest.

He saw that Oscar and Ma Hongjin looked quite tired, he was sure that hunting a ten thousand year beast on their own had taken quite a toll on them.

Just when he was about to tease them about it Tang Hao called out to him yet not him…,

“Ah Yin…..”

He went towards Tang San stumbling and said,

“Ah Yin, Ah Yin…. I’ve missed you a lot… Why… Why would you choose to do something like that!!!”

He hugged Tang San while crying out, Tang San didn’t speak or stop him, he just let him hug him while hugging him back, even he wasn’t able to hold himself back and cried out a little. Though he never knew his mom, he knew that she had sacrificed herself for him and his father, he was also someone who had gone through two lives one in which he didn’t have parents, he knew how much of a blessing it was to have one.

“Dad”

Hearing Tang San’s voice Tang Hao’s body jerked, he then took a proper look at Tang San and realized that his face and hair had changed. Previously his face looked like a younger version of his father but after he had awakened the Blue Silver Emperor his face started to resemble more like his mother than his father.

“Tang San… your mother was a beautiful woman who loved you a lot, your current appearance looks just like her when I first met her”

“Dad… can you tell me more about mother later??”

Tang Hao only laughed and patted his shoulder and walked away after that, remembering a few old memories his mood seemed complicated so Tang San didn’t bother him and went towards Oscar and Ma Hongjin.

“I-Is that you brother san??”

Oscar was the first one to ask the question,

“Haha, Of course, it’s me, who else did you think it would be??”

“B-Brother San, you changed…. You’ve become more handsome now….”

“Heavens,… why are you so unfair!!”

Oscar shouted out loud if compared then Oscar would still be considered more handsome than Tang San even now but with his well-shaped body, temperament, and even talent there was no way to compare at all. Though they would not admit it, to everyone in Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San was a person who they all yearned to be, to the girls he was the perfect partner, and to the guys he was somewhat of a leader figure and they had their small pride of being more handsome than Tang San but with his current looks though Dai Mubai, Oscar and Ma Hongjin are still slightly more handsome than him, they would still accept defeat in front of him.

“Haha, Brother San, I have a great plan in mind do you want to hear it??”

“I’ll hear it later, Oscar seeing that you’re all okay you should have succeeded in getting your fourth ring right?? So what’s the age of your ring and what’s its ability??”

“Haha, I was able to get a Ten thousand year ring, it’s from a spirit beast called the pink queen, when used the user would gain a 20% amplification to all his attributes and…. No side effects”

Tang San was wide-eyed at that, he knew that in the actual series Oscar would gain the same ability as his fourth ability and from the same spirit beast, he couldn’t believe that there would be such a great coincidence in his life.

Oscar who saw Tang San’s stunned state was quite satisfied, he remembered that Ma Hongjin and even Tang Hao had the same reaction when he got his spirit ring. Though the incantation ‘I your father have a pink sausage sounded quite humiliating it was truly worth it for such an ability’. Even though it was only twenty percent it was for all attributes, strength, defense, spirit power, agility all of these would be boosted.

For lower ranked spirit masters twenty percent wouldn’t seem like much but for higher-ranked spirit masters twenty percent would be a lot, for those above rank 95, twenty percent is the difference between each rank so using this would theoretically allow a spirit master to contend those even above their rank.

Tang San then said,

“Oscar you’ve truly gotten a great ability, even Rongrong would be quite envious about such an ability”

“You all should have had enough rest, the next task I’m going to give you will be much tougher so you three should make enough preparations for it, you three will have to run away from me for at least a two hour, if I catch you then you’re going to have to start from the first, even if one of you is caught then it counts as my win, you can use any spirit ability or spirit bones you can even face me head-on but you have to not be caught for two hours”

When the three of them heard the second task they almost cried out, they would have to survive from a titled douluo for two hours, how was that fair?? Though they could use spirit abilities that would be of no use as one was a control type, a support type and an attack-type none of them were agility type spirit masters!!

“You can rest for the night, we’ll begin from tomorrow sunrise till sunset”

…

One month later,

Today would be the fourth week since their second task started, at first they tried running away from Tang Hao in different directions but Oscar was easily caught so they had given up this plan, Ma Hongjin and Tang San then decided to fight him head-on to give Oscar a half-hour head start but they were both instantly defeated even with Oscar’s support sausages, they all realized that they would have to fight him while keeping a certain distance from him to succeed they were able to last quite long this time compared to the previous times.

So they practiced prolonging the battle after that, and only Tang San was able to last long enough before their spirit power was completely drained, they had been throwing large consumption attacks while trying to get away so they weren’t able to last that long either, this is where they learned the key to this task, efficiency.

As long as they didn’t waste their spirit power they would be able to last against him for one and half hour before they would run out of spirit power, even Tang San was able to last a while only because of the Divine Buddha Meridians otherwise even with the Spirit Power of a Spirit King he was unable to last that long.

Nearly one month after they had started they were able to improve quite efficiently compared to before, Oscar’s and Ma Hongjin’s Ranks had increased quite a lot this one month, Ma Hongjin had reached the 53rd Rank and Oscar was able to reach the 50th rank while only needing a spirit ring to advance, his actual rank would be 51 or 52 if he would get a spirit ring so even Tang San wasn’t sure how much it would be.

Tang San was the slowest right now when it came to cultivation, though he had awakened his Blue Silver Emperor his cultivation speed didn’t improve by much but his Vitality had surely hit through the roof after awakening. His Ice Jade Empress Phoenix was the main reason his cultivation speed had decreased, Ice Empress had already told him that it would decrease after the Spirit King Rank so he wasn’t that surprised by it, but it made him put in more effort. He had found out that one of his Hidden Meridians had awakened after his Blue Silver Emperor’s awakening, this would have normally improved his cultivation speed significantly but the decrease due to the Ice Jade Empress Phoenix had outweighed what he would have normally gotten.

Tang Hao had noticed this and only gave him one advice to improve his speed, life, and death combat. This was the only way that he would be able to cultivate with the same speed he had before.

His body was now able to fully digest the awakening from the Blue Silver Emperor’s awakening and he was now able to handle, hundred thousand year rings to his spirit. Even his condensed ring had evolved to the hundred thousand year range and had gained another ability to it while even the previous ability had changed slightly

[Blue Silver Emperor Golden Spear]: Locks onto the target and launches a golden light paralyzing them while also interrupting their spirit ability for a large duration.

[Blue Silver Emperor Silver Spear]: Locks onto the target and launches a silver light which stops one from using their spirit for a small duration and even weakening them slightly.

______________________

The previous ability didn’t change much except for the large duration but the new ability stopped one from using their spirit itself while also weakening them, to spirit masters this was akin to a death sentence in a fight.

Tang San was surprised at how overpowered this ability this was, this second ability also had another hidden effect, that was to interrupt or even entirely stop a spirit fusion ability, in a spirit fusion if even one person’s spirit was sealed or stopped working then the spirit fusion would collapse, this was truly a bane to spirit fusions as they would also suffer a backlash from this ability.

Tang San was truly satisfied by this ability as it was really important in a team match as they wouldn’t need to worry about the opponent team’s spirit fusion at all.

After another week they were able to complete their second task and since Oscar needed another ring he was taken away by Tang Hao to get one for him except this time Ma Hongjin was allowed to use all his spirit abilities, he had even taken Ma Hongjin as he too had to get his fifth ring to cultivate to the next rank.

Tang San stayed behind and continued to cultivate by himself, he had already advised Oscar to get a spirit ring which would allow him to boost his own powers and Ma Hongjin to get a wide area ability.

This was certainly the best abilities they would be able to attain, for the team combination as well as for their personal strength. After cultivating for an entire day he took a short rest and got into his best condition, he then opened his shop and started to search for any items or boosts which could help him with his condition, he knew that if he cultivated normally his speed would practically be the worst among the Shrek Seven Devils and he can’t put his life at risk every single time he would want to cultivate, he had nearly 51 million to buy something so he didn’t hesitate, he knew that with the current cultivation speed he would need at least 5 to 10 years before he can reach the Spirit Emperor Rank and with the other Shrek Seven Devils cultivation speeds boosted by the immortal herbs he would surely be left behind, he could use the Seagod’s heart and take the Seagod’s Nine Trials but that would make him lose the Asura’s trial so he didn’t want to take a risk and lose a lot just to gain less.

While searching he found something that attracted him

[Golden Dragon King Soul Nucleus (weakened)]: Able to fuse with a person/spirit to influence it to gain the power of the Golden Dragon King. Causes ??? if fused with the [Silver Dragon King Soul Nucleus].

Warning: Use only if the body has reached God-King level or destruction of soul and body is 100%.

Cost: 100,000,000,000

______________________

These three were one of the few costliest items he had seen, he had a feeling that if he used both the Golden and Silver Dragon King’s Soul Nucleus he would be able to solve his cultivation problem but at the same time, he also felt that something would go wrong.

But though he wanted to buy it he realized how pitiful he was with the amount of money he would require to buy them, he only had 51 million with him and to buy even one of them he would require 20 times of what he had.

He sure wasn’t going to buy the Dragon God’s Soul Nucleus since he would require a God Level Body to even use it and with his pitiful cultivation speed, he would only be able to reach that level if he trained for at least 100 years.

He decided to buy these other two when or if he got the cash from the auction house in Heaven Dou, he then searched for a few more items and found nothing that would greatly interest him except for one item,

______________________

[Blessing of the Goddess of Life]: Gain a blessing from the Goddess of Life greatly increasing vitality and healing.

Cost: 25,000,000

______________________

This was a costly item but it greatly complimented his Blue Silver Emperor, with his already increased vitality he was sure to live for at least a few centuries, if he was still able to increase it then he could rival even spirit beasts in tenacity and he may even live for 5 to 6 centuries.

He bought it without hesitation and a green orb was placed inside his inventory, he felt that now would be the best time to use it since he was alone and his father and the rest would at least take 7 – 10 days to return.

He took out the green orb from his inventory and instantly all the grass in the surrounding felt an attraction to it, he sat down and started to absorb this, he felt that this was also something from a god but it wasn’t that great to give him an inheritance and he would naturally not want one either, this was also the main reason for him to decide against buying the dragon god’s nucleus, it screamed inheritance from just its name while the other two soul nucleus looked quite better.

He took a few days to completely absorb the blessing but his vitality almost rose by 5 times, this was a scary increment considering his already increased vitality. He naturally didn’t gain a skill from this, though he was quite expectant of getting one due to his high vitality, buy gained a title instead.
