Douluo Dalu System - Chapter 66

For the next four days Tang San spent his time entirely in his room, he was contacted by Daydream and the others but he ignored them for a while completely focusing on his training. He had broken through the Spirit Emperor Rank but he didn’t gain any spirit rings from the soul core which made him think that he would have to upgrade the spirit rings to the million-year rank to gain any benefits from the Golden and Silver Dragon soul core.

He stopped his training on the fourth day and contacted Daydream, though he was in the Magical Space, to daydream and the others he was in deep cultivation and they were quite worried due to the change in his spirit.

‘Brother Daydream’ (Tang San)

‘Tang San!!!!’ (Daydream and others)

He was a little surprised at their reaction, they were all busy trying to check changes in his body after that crack in his spirit that they did not notice him waking up and going into his Magical Space soon after that day so they were quite worried that his brain might be injured or so,

‘I’m sorry to have made you all worried but I’m fine now so rest assured’ (Tang San)

‘Phew, we were all worried that there might have been some injury to your mind or soul because of what happened to your spirit but it seems that you’re alright’ (Ice Emperess)

‘Dear, I’m so glad that you’re safe, we were all worried about you, I was the one who was the most worried though’ (Golden Empress)

‘Tang San, what was that gold and silver lights??’ (Ice Phoenix)

‘GOLDEN DRAGON KING!!! SILVER DRAGON KING!!!’

Ice Phoenix shouted so loudly that Tang San covered his ears by instinct to the sound despite talking to her mentally.

‘Do you know them?? They should be dragon type beasts, so you shouldn’t know much about them though since you used to be in the divine realm or something??’ (Golden Empress)

‘Know them, Anyone from the Divine Realm would know who those two were….’

She then told them about the story of the dragon god, how he waged a war against the entire god realm by himself and how he was defeated by Asura, then about him splitting into the Golden and Silver Dragon King, the locking up of the Golden Dragon King, the disappearance of the Silver Dragon King.

Tang San and the others who heard the story were almost awestruck of this Dragon God, who should now be the Golden and Silver Dragon King.

‘After the war, the god realm committee made it such that spirit beasts can’t ascend to become gods, forever unable to break through the last 1,000,000 rank, though Daydream was lucky he was also unable to go to the divine realm because of his status as a spirit beast. That was also the war that made me lose my divinity I was able to escape into the Douluo Continent and find you to take my position else I would have just died like the rest of the spirit beasts due to losing our divinity’ (Ice Phoenix)

Hearing this daydream and the other spirit beasts in his spiritual sea were feeling quite sad at their status of being unable to ascend no matter what. Even Tang San was sad hearing that, he had a lot of people who were quite close to him and were spirit beasts, his mother, Xiao Wu, Daydream and the rest…

‘Ice Phoenix, I promise you that no matter what, I will break through the 100th rank and become a god and help you reconstruct your divinity’ (Tang San)

‘To be honest…’ (Tang San)

Tang San then explained to them about his system and its function of Status and Store. How he’s able to upgrade his spirit rings and how he’s even able to buy spirit rings from the system. He found the Dragon God’s Soul Core gone from the store after he bought the two soul core so he was unable to show them how he bought them.

But he then decided to buy a spirit ring upgrade to his Ice Jade Empress Phoenix spirit ring by a hundred thousand years, the familiar red orb was taken out from the inventory.

‘I can feel the aura of a hundred thousand year beast from that red orb, but no soul, it’s like the ice essences that I absorbed except much more powerful and much much much faster almost instantaneous if compared to those Ice Essences’ (Daydream)

‘Exactly and I’m sorry for hiding this from all of you until now, at first I was still a little wary of you brother daydream but after that…. It became a little awkward for me to tell this to you after a while….. I’m sorry!!!!’ (Tang San)

He then bowed to them in his spiritual sea to express his apology, to them it was a big deal but seeing that Tang San was being so sincere they decide to forgive him.

‘It’s fine, we’re actually happy that you told us now, in fact, you did the right thing not telling us from the start, you should be careful about this since that orb in your hands can even affect actual spirit beasts and if anyone get’s to know that you’re capable of doing this then forget humans, even spirit beasts will be after you’ (Daydream)

Tang San was relieved at that, he knew that he can’t tell this to anyone even to the Shrek Seven Devils, Grandmaster or even his parents. This was something like a take to your grave secret, but Daydream and the others were in a sense a part of him so he could still tell them about this.

He then applied the boost to his spirit ring it became a 500,000-year spirit ring, Daydream and the rest could feel this change so they were quite happy.

They were also tricked before due to Tang San’s camouflage and illusion but now that they knew about it they were curious as well.

‘All the rings in my Blue Silver…. I guess it’s Golden Silver Emperor now, is all one million years old and even all the rings in my Samsara Eye are one million year rings but the rings in Ice Jade Empress Phoenix are – 500,000, 1 million, 290,000 and 200,000 years old. So in a sense, the lowest of any of my rings are 200,000 years old’ (Tang San)

The Five of them were all shocked, this was a ring combination which shocked even them, to them a human having a 100-year ring as his first is considered ideal and strong but Tang San’s First ring is in the hundred thousand or million-year range.

‘Monster!!’ (Daydream and others)

Tang San could only smile wryly at that, he then took all the barrier tools he had placed previously and kept them back into his inventory and exited the room, he wanted to go out for a while and get some fresh air before finding grandmaster and discussing what to get for his next spirit ring.

While he was walking he saw Grandmaster and Liu Erlong arguing, he guessed that Grandmaster must have rejected Liu Erlong’s advances again and must have started arguing with her, he waited until they finished and went towards Vice Dean Erlong. It might not be his place to tell Grandmaster what is right or what is wrong but he still feels bad for Vice Dean Erlong, it wasn’t any of their faults but they both suffered so much.

He knew that his teacher still likes Liu Erlong so he decided to act against his teacher this one time.

“Vice Dean Erlong, is there any problem??”

Liu Erlong was sitting on a bench with her head down trying to cover up her tears when she heard Tang San’s voice her body jerked and she hastily wiped off her tears and spoke to him,

“Are you sure it wasn’t you and Teacher arguing??”

“…. You saw??”

“Only from far, I couldn’t hear what you two were speaking but I could guess… Teacher still likes you, it’s just that sometimes Teacher forgets what’s important and focuses on what others would think instead…. You should be the one to take the lead instead of waiting for him”

“Pfft… You’re right, Xiaogang has always been like that since he was young he had an inferior complex about his spirit and with what happened to him in the clan…. Well, its all in the past no point in thinking about it now. Tang San tell me how was he these past few years??”

Tang San sat down next to her and said,

“I first met Teacher at Nuoding Academy, there I met him and Renxue…. At first, I was quite wary of him, he had so quickly guessed that I had twin spirits just from knowing that I had Full Innate Spirit Power and Blue Silver Grass as my spirit, I thought that he had bad intentions towards me and didn’t get quite close to him. But soon I was quite surprised by how smart he was, I was attracted to his intelligence, wisdom and I was so proud to have him as my teacher. But even in Nuoding Academy the faculty always talked behind his back and I used to get quite angry at those people, one day he was able to cure his spirit variation and his spirit changed from Luo San Pao to Golden Saint Dragon, at that time I couldn’t even describe my happiness, after that whenever someone spoke about teacher behind his back I surprisingly never got angry instead I felt quite pitiful towards them thinking that they had missed a golden chance to get some advice from teacher. Just like that Six years passed and we both went to Shrek where we met Principal Flender, the Shrek Seven Devils, a lot happened after that and we eventually came here to Heaven Dou and met you”

“…. He went through a lot didn’t he??”

“Well I guess so but the later parts of his story have been quite beautiful so you don’t need to worry about him much anymore, he’s even a Spirit King now so he should have regained some confidence”

“I guess that’s true, thank you Tang San for taking care of him all this while…”

He took out a red jade bottle from his Twenty Four Moonlight Bridges and gave it to her.

“What’s this?? Wait!! Is this from that Tang Sect everyone’s been talking about?? Tang San I can’t accept this it’s too precious”

“It’s aphrodisiac”

“Ah….”

Just when she was about to put it into his hands he told it to her ear in a low voice, she became quite surprised knowing its contents. But when she got to know it she didn’t give it back instead her grip on the bottle became tighter.

“Ah, you see I was lucky enough to find this lying on the ground, I wanted to give it to you so that ‘someone’ wouldn’t ‘misuse’ it for wrongful purposes, but I guess there wouldn’t be anything wrong to use it between husband and wife is there Vice-Dean Erlong??”

“N-N-No I guess n-n-not”

She was quite stuttering at this point, in fact, she was still a v_i_r_g_i_n and she didn’t know anything of what’s supposed to happen between man and wife, she always thought that Xiaogang would be the one to take lead during these parts so she never really thought about it.

“Well nothing left to do when the rice is cooked is there??”
