Chapter 47: The Spirit Bone, I Want It
Dragon Chen manipulating Tang San and forcing him to harm himself left a deep imprint on Tang San's heart.
Although they might not encounter the Tian Dou Royal Academy Team in the Soul Master Competition, the possibility of meeting them could not be ruled out.
Tang San wanted revenge.
He constantly reminded himself in his heart that he had to defeat Dragon Chen and wash away his shame.
However, he knew very well that with the current overall strength of the Shrek Seven Devils, defeating the Tian Dou Royal Academy Team, which included Dragon Chen, would be quite difficult.
Therefore, he had to become stronger in the shortest possible time.
Tang San thought of a way to help his teammates improve their spirit power more quickly.
That was to teach them a cultivation method.
Tang San knew very well that Mysterious Heaven Skill could aid in cultivation, but it was his own secret technique.
Even to his closest friends, he would not easily teach it.
Moreover, practicing Mysterious Heaven Skill was not something that could be achieved overnight, and there would not be much progress in a short period.
However, based on this cultivation method, Tang San devised a simple technique that allowed one to circulate qi through the four limbs.
With this simple technique, as long as they cultivated diligently, their spirit power would increase faster than that of ordinary Spirit Masters.
That evening, Tang San called a few people into his room.
Dai Mubai asked:
"Little San, you've been cooped up in your room all this time. What have you been researching? Have you found something, which is why you called us all here?"
Tang San smiled.
"Boss Dai, you guessed correctly. As you've seen, through diligent cultivation during this period, my spirit power has increased faster than yours."
Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San with anticipation.
"Brother San, do you really have a method to increase spirit power?"
Tang San nodded and continued:
"I have indeed developed a cultivation method that allows one to circulate qi through the four limbs. This method can help us circulate spirit power more effectively, accelerate our cultivation process, and has an immediate effect on improving our overall strength. I plan to teach it to you all; as long as you cultivate diligently, you will surely achieve greater improvement."
Ma Hongjun chuckled:
"Really? Brother San, you're truly amazing."
Dai Mubai patted Tang San's shoulder.
"Little San, you've always been the one with the most ideas among us. Whatever you say, we'll do it. We all trust you."
Tang San nodded slightly, then began to explain the essentials of the cultivation method in detail, from how to regulate breathing to how to guide spirit power to circulate within the body.
Finally, he cautioned:
"Cultivating this method requires perseverance and should not be rushed. Cultivate for at least two hours daily, and as time passes, you will feel the benefits it brings. Remember, this is a secret among us and must not be spread."
"Okay, we understand."
Subsequently, under Tang San's guidance, the Shrek group cultivated and trained even more diligently, and their spirit power indeed increased faster than before.
~~~~~~~~~~
Days passed, and the official start of the Soul Master Competition drew closer.
The abnormal spirit power increase of Dragon Chen, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan made their teammates envious and suspicious.
However, Dragon Chen would not tell them the truth, only casually making up an excuse to gloss over it.
One day, Dugu Bo came to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Upon learning that Dragon Chen's spirit power had reached fifty-fifth rank, Dugu Bo was a little surprised.
"Boy, you're not even sixteen yet, and your spirit power has already reached fifty-fifth rank. It's too incredible. However, for you, this is also an extremely dangerous matter. Exposing your strength too early in front of those people from Spirit Hall is not a good thing. Therefore, I still suggest you don't participate in the Soul Master Competition; anyway, it's impossible for you to win the championship."
Dragon Chen smiled indifferently.
"If I don't participate, won't Lingling and your granddaughter be bullied? Can you bear to see that?"
Dugu Bo gently shook his head.
"The Soul Master Competition is just a competition between low-level Spirit Masters; it's not that dangerous. Moreover, Yan Yan's spirit power has already reached forty-sixth rank, which makes her one of the stronger participants.
The reason I assert that you cannot win the championship is because the overall strength of this year's Spirit Hall Academy Team is on a completely different level.
As far as I know, all seven of their main team members have spirit power above forty-fifth rank, and they are known as the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall.
Furthermore, three of them, like you, have reached above fiftieth rank and are even known as the Spirit Hall Three Heroes.
In terms of individual strength, those three might not be as good as you.
However, the Soul Master Competition is about team combat, and their overall strength is much greater than your Royal Academy team. If you encounter them, it's impossible for you to win."
Dragon Chen already knew all this, but he would still participate.
"If we don't compete, how will we know who can go all the way?"
"It seems you won't give up, boy. Do you know what the championship reward for this year's Soul Master Competition is? It's Spirit Bones, and not just one, but three. Those three Spirit Bones can be said to be tailor-made for the Spirit Hall Three Heroes; besides them, no one else can win the final championship."
Dragon Chen knew that those three Spirit Bones were specially prepared by Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong for the Spirit Hall Three Heroes.
The Mind Condensing Wisdom Skull was perfect for the control system Spirit Master Hu Liena.
The Swift Advancement Wind-Chasing Left Leg Bone was perfect for the strong-attack and agility-attack system Spirit Master Xie Yue.
The Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm Bone was perfect for the fire-attribute Spirit Master Yan.
Among them, the sixty-thousand-year-old mental Spirit Bone was the most precious.
For Spirit Masters, every Spirit Bone was an priceless treasure, rarely encountered.
Dragon Chen wanted to protect Ye Lingling.
Of course, if they could win the Soul Master Competition championship and obtain those three Spirit Bones, that would also be great.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you something. Although Dugu Yan's internal toxins are now under control, I cannot guarantee whether the toxins will flare up again after she reaches seventy-first rank. Because once she gains the ability to unleash her Spirit Avatar, the toxins in her body will become even more terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was startled.
"Boy, you're not joking with me, are you?"
"Of course I'm not joking. But don't panic yet, I still have a solution."
"What solution?"
"Just get her a Spirit Bone. If it really comes to that point, she can, like you, force a portion of the toxins into the Spirit Bone."
"A Spirit Bone, you say…"
Dugu Bo frowned, deep in thought.
Dragon Chen smiled:
"If we can get the championship reward from the Soul Master Competition, we can arrange one for Dugu Yan."
"Boy, you're quite confident."
"Of course. When the time comes, you can accompany us. Oh, and I have a surprise for you."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, looking at Dragon Chen with some anticipation.
"What surprise?"
"Let's go back to the medicinal garden together; you'll know then."
"I really don't know what tricks you're up to again, boy."
Subsequently, Dugu Bo and Dragon Chen returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well together.
