Bo Saixi looked somewhat curiously at Tang San, but didn’t ask further, continuing the subject of Xiao Wu’s resurrection,
“Since that’s the case, you have the ability to escape that spirit power loss. The preconditions are that, before you resurrect Xiao Wu, you find one more right arm spirit bone. After you sever your right arm and return the spirit bone to Xiao Wu, immediately install this new spirit bone in your right arm, then immediately rely on your right leg bone’s regeneration ability to regrow your right arm. The more powerful a spirit bone you can find, the less spirit power you will lose. It also won’t harm your vitality or influence your future cultivation.”
Tang San conscientiously reflected on every word Bo Saixi said. Related to Xiao Wu’s resurrection, he absolutely couldn’t tolerate the slightest carelessness. After careful consideration, he could be certain that everything Bo Saixi said was reasonable. Even if problems appeared, they would only be problems with him, without influencing Xiao Wu’s resurrection. She was quite right, if he rashly placed hundred thousand year spirit rings into Xiao Wu, she would very possibly be in danger due to being unable to endure.
After figuring these things out, Tang San said gratefully:
“Many thanks for High Priest’s help.”
Bo Saixi smiled lightly:
“No need to thank me. I also hope you, the future lord Seagod, can truly complete the Seagod’s inheritance. Remember, find replacements for the five spirit rings you give Xiao Wu as soon as possible. Moreover, among the spirit rings you find, besides the sixth, the first four have to be of the same race as the spirit beasts you killed before. Then they can be perfectly absorbed. After all, your spirit already has some memories. If you change them for other types of spirit rings, there’s bound to be conflicts. Of course, the spirit ring cultivation age depends on your own skill. It’s impossible for all to be hundred thousand year, but you can manage all ten thousand year, right?”
All ten thousand year? Tang San’s heart immediately grew scorching hot, what Bo Saixi said sounded like resurrecting Xiao Wu not only wasn’t bad for him, but on the contrary changed into a good thing?
Before Tang San could speak up, Bo Saixi continued:
“There’s one more thing you have to keep in mind, it’s your eighth trial. Raising your spirit to the nine ring level doesn’t just mean one spirit, it’s all your spirits. You’re different from ordinary spirit masters, you possess two spirits. Therefore, after resurrecting Xiao Wu, you will also have to find spirit rings to amplify your hammer as soon as possible. When you return, you must have twin nine ring spirits. This corresponds to the requirements for the eighth trial and counts as passing. Understand? Five years’ time seems long, but you have to obtain three spirit bones, and more than ten spirit rings. This isn’t a simple mission!”
“Many thanks for High Priest’s warning. Five years should be enough.”
Tang San replied confidently. Only, he quickly frowned, thinking of one extremely important question,
“Senior, I have twin spirits, but the human body has limits. Each spirit ring will boost my body somewhat, and even though I’ve used some immortal herbs and my body is somewhat stronger than most spirit masters, I’m afraid after giving the Clear Sky Hammer high level spirit rings, my body will……”
Bo Saixi gave a laugh,
“If this problem concerned someone else’s body, it really would require attention. But you’re already different, don’t forget that you’re the Seagod’s successor. The moment you pulled out the Seagod Trident, in some sense, you were no longer human. But rather someone one step into godhood. The Seagod’s Light can’t just help you resurrect Xiao Wu. It equally imperceptibly influences and changes your body. This bit is something you should have sensed from the Seagod’s Heart. So, don’t worry, go absorb spirit rings without hesitating, the stronger the better. Twin spirits might be your blessed advantage, even the lord Seagod didn’t have such an ability back then. Each spirit ring you absorb will raise your spirit power somewhat. With your current spirit power, your Clear Sky Hammer can already absorb another eight spirit rings of at least the ten thousand year level. Once these eight spirit rings have been absorbed, even if you don’t cultivate, I think your spirit power should still be close to rank ninety.”
Becoming the Seagod successor unexpectedly solved even this problem. Tang San couldn’t help being wild with joy. Even though the Blue Silver Emperor’s control power was formidable, beneath the surface Tang San had always felt that he lacked attack power. Leaving the Clear Sky Hammer unused, without daring to add spirit rings. Now was different, adding spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer not only wouldn’t influence his body, but with his present spirit power level and physical endurance, even the highest limit of hundred thousand year spirit rings could be absorbed. Waiting until the Title Douluo level was meaningless. And if he could reach eight spirit rings with the Clear Sky Hammer, then, not only the problem of raising spirit power, if he could also at any time switch over from control type Spirit Douluo to power attack type Spirit Douluo, his strength would also rise substantially, and there would also be innumerable permutations of tactics.
Bo Saixi smiled:
“If I may give you a suggestion; your ninth trial will be to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Then don’t waste it. Let him become the last spirit ring of your hammer. He will also give you a spirit bone. Hundred thousand year spirit bones have a property you might not know of. Whoever kills it, it will give a spirit bone that the killer doesn’t have. This is also one of the reasons hundred thousand year spirit beasts are so valued by spirit masters. In other words, no matter what the last spirit bone you lack is, as long as you successfully kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you will have gathered all spirit bones. The quality of the spirit ring and bone it gives you will be an enormous advantage in accepting the last inheritance.”
Tang San’s heart twitched,
“High Priest, by what you say, I can leave Seagod Island to complete the eighth trial?”
Bo Saixi said:
“The rules of Seagod Island affects spirit masters that have passed the trials. And you’re not just a spirit master, you’re also the Seagod’s successor. After you pulled out the Seagod Trident, one might say you’re already half a Seagod. Naturally the rules don’t apply.”
Tang San exulted,
“Then can I bring my comrades?”
Bo Saixi said calmly:
“You still haven’t completely understood your Seagod’s Light! Within the range of the Seagod’s Light, the might of the Seagod is revealed. Under its shelter, the Seagod’s laws naturally won’t descend. Of course, your Seagod Nine Trial excluded.”
“I understand.”
Tang San drew a deep breath, his face showing unconcealable excitement. They’d been here for more than four years, but could finally leave. Indeed, sea spirit beasts didn’t completely suit his Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer. But returning to dry land, he could find the spirit beasts that suited him the most. That was especially the case for the spirit rings he had to give up to resurrect Xiao Wu.
Bo Saixi’s gaze showed a bit of kindness,
“Rest a few days on the island before leaving. Oh, right, I’ll share what I know of some of the circumstances of the Seagod Trident with you. Pay attention.”
“First of all, only your hands can hold the Seagod Trident, it can’t be left in any spirit tools. If you try it, the spirit tool will break. Next, you must pay attention to the Seagod Trident’s weight. When you hold it in your hand, it will weigh one hundred eight jin, however, when you let it go, the weight will no longer be one hundred eight jin, but rather……”
At this point, Bo Saixi paused, the said gently,
“But rather one hundred eight thousand jin.”
“What?”
Tang San was shocked,
“One hundred eight thousand jin?”
Bo Saixi nodded affirmation:
“That’s right. It’s one hundred
eight thousand jin. I don’t know what it’s made of either, but I can be sure that without its approval, it would be very difficult to use without god level strength. Consequently, you must be careful when carrying it. If it’s not somewhere that can stand the weight, you absolutely can’t put it down. Best is if it doesn’t leave your body, then it’ll just be one hundred eight jin, and not that terrifying one hundred eight thousand weight.”
“Then that means, when I use it to attack, it will also give the effect of one hundred eight thousand jin?”
Tang San asked.
Bo Saixi smiled slightly,
“This is the might of a divine instrument, even back when your great grandfather cultivated to ninety nine rank spirit power, his Clear Sky Hammer was still only eighteen thousand jin. There is no stronghold the Trident cannot overcome in the Seagod’s hand. Even the Angel God’s Holy Sword is just thirty six thousand jin.”
Tang San again stepped up to Bo Saixi, stooping to pick up the Seagod Trident. He really found it difficult to imagine that what weighed a hundred something jin in his hand possessed all the power of more than a hundred thousand. It was terrifying even without adding any abilities. Even a major city’s thick walls couldn’t stand up to even one strike.
“When you want to use it, you must awaken it with the Seagod’s Light. Until you truly become the Seagod and can unleash its might permanently. As for its other abilities, you’ll have to figure it out on your own.”
“Thank you, High Priest.”
Holding the Seagod Trident firmly, even though it was completely black, it still gave Tang San a kind of completely harmonized feeling.
Bo Saixi smiled:
“I’ve given you the warnings I can. You can go, and can leave Seagod Island at any time. I’ll wait here for your return. I hope to soon see you inherit the position of Seagod. Oh, right, also, when you return, you have to bring back those seven friends of yours as well. You’ll need their help when you inherit the position of Seagod.”
Tang San gripped the Trident, deferentially bowing deeply to Bo Saixi. Then he retreated from the Seagod dais, until he had passed the seven platforms, then turned and left.
As he reached the door of the Seagod Hall, Bo Saixi’s faint voice echoed behind him,
“If you meet your grandfather in these five years, have him come see me.”
Her voice was filled with melancholy. Tang San turned, nodding sharply to Bo Saixi, then left Seagod Hall.
Warm sunlight bathed his body, wrapping Tang San’s weakened body in warmth. Even though the light was a lot more intense than inside the hall, Tang San still adapted very quickly, his Purple Demon Eye originally didn’t fear strong light.
“Our respects, lord.”
Seven voices spoke in unison.
Tang San turned his head to look. The seven Seagod Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo knelt on one knee at the same time, saluting him.
Tang San knew that what they saluted was even more the Seagod Trident in his hand. Their gazes were focused on the dark stave, their expressions reverent.
“No need for all seniors to be like this, Tang San can’t accept it.”
Tang San took a few steps away, counting as half accepting their salute.
“Yes, seven seniors, don’t be like this. Little San isn’t the Seagod yet.”
Dai Mubai and the other six devils plus Bai Chenxiang all waited outside as well. Xiao Wu appeared to have already returned to normal, of course, soulless normal. Having taken the Yearning Heartbroken Red, her body’s recovery ability was certainly formidable.
Seadragon Douluo said sternly:
“Lord Tang San has already formally accepted the position as the lord Seagod’s successor, and at the same time also obtained the Seagod Trident’s approval. The Seagod rules the oceans, we must naturally pay our respects as the lord Seagod’s subordinates.”
Tang San smiled and walked forward, right hand holding the Trident, speaking cordially:
“We will leave Seagod Island immediately. In these few years we’ve accepted the trials on Seagod Island, we’ve been indebted all seniors’ care. Especially Seahorse Douluo has given us even more assistance. Regardless of whether I inherit the position as Seagod, in the eyes of Tang San, you are all my seniors.”
Before Seadragon Douluo’s seven sacred pillar guardian Douluo could change expression, on the Shrek Seven Devil side, Ma Hongjun already cried out:
“Third brother, you’re saying we’re leaving Seagod Island?”
Tang San nodded.
“I’ve already negotiated with the High Priest. My eight trial will also be completed on the mainland. Of course we’re leaving. Only, once the eighth trial is complete, we must still return for the ninth trial. If nobody has anything to prepare, we’ll set off immediately.”
Hearing Tang San say this, everyone couldn’t help beaming with joy. No matter how beautiful the Seagod Island’s scenery, living here for several years while painstakingly cultivating, everyone were long since weary, and this place also didn’t have that kind of free and leisurely feeling. Besides Xiao Wu and Bai Chenxiang, everyone’s strength had broken through eightieth rank, and they also hoped to return to the mainland to measure their strength against Spirit Hall. They could finally leave, and moreover with Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi’s consent, so how could they not be happy?
Oscar laughed out loud:
“What’s there to prepare? We’ll leave now. I don’t know how the continent has changed in the more than four years we’ve been gone.”
Tang San turned to the Seven Seagod Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo:
“Then we’ll take our leave from all seniors here. We will definitely return within five years.”
The Seven Seagod Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo followed them the whole way down Seagod Mountain, then followed them with their eyes.
Tang San grasped the Seagod Trident in his right hand, his left hand holding Xiao Wu, and flew furthest ahead. Very soon they’d crossed the Ring Sea, and everyone turned in the direction they came.
While walking, Ning Rongrong asked Tang San:
“Third brother, are your injuries already all well? No need to rest a while?”
Tang San said:
“It’s nothing, my spirit power and spiritual force will recover just as well on the road. I don’t know why, but even though I didn’t feel anything before, after the High Priest allowed us to leave, I’ve had an urge to hurry home. I don’t know how the Heaven Dou Empire is doing, or what Spirit Hall has been up to these years. Or how the teachers and the rest of Shrek Academy are.”
Chapter 255: Four Years Rewards And Parting
Dai Mubai said:
“Worrying about it is useless, we’ll know once we return.”
Tang San asked:
“Boss, aren’t you returning to look at Star Luo Empire first?”
Dai Mubai shook his head, grinning:
“To tell you the truth, when I brought Zhuqing away, I wasn’t planning on returning again. Even if my big brother has always thought unfavorably of me, no matter what he’s still my brother, and his wife’s also Zhuqing’s big sister. I don’t want to experience the feeling of kindred butchering each other again. I might as well go missing, and let my big brother inherit the title. Little San, you’ve also seen the circumstances of Heaven Dou Empire, being a monarch isn’t that easy. Let alone dealing with ten thousand affairs, there’s also countless pressures to undertake. I could never be as leisurely and relaxed as now. Even though Zhuqing always said I never improved, in fact, I like the feeling of being with my brothers like this. Me and Zhuqing talked it over, and finally might as well not go back. Leave everything for after big brother becomes emperor. We won’t go back, so they’ll naturally think we’re already dead. So what if they discover us later? With my present strength, even if the imperial family wants do anything against us they might not be able to.”
Tang San somewhat astonished looked at Dai Mubai, saying helplessly:
“I don’t
know how many people want to become the ruler of a nation, but you toss it away like worn out shoes. Boss, perhaps only you can regard authority so lightly.”
Oscar smiled:
“Boss, I admire you. You put it succinctly, how could we be so leisurely and relaxed as emperor? You don’t need to go back, I’m simply even happier than knowing we can safely leave Seagod Island. Afterwards we brothers don’t need to part again, us Shrek Seven Devils will always be together. Once little San resurrects Xiao Wu, and we’ve all eliminated Spirit Hall, we can tour all over the continent together, wouldn’t that be nice?”
Zhu Zhuqing smiled:
“We thought so. Rather than pursuing authority, it would be better to pursue the summit of spirit masters. We can’t compare to third brother, but with our present circumstances, reaching the Title Douluo level wouldn’t be a problem. My biggest dream as a child was to become a female Douluo.”
Ma Hongjuns gaze was always curiously fixed on the Seagod Trident in Tang San’s right hand. Now he couldn’t help speaking up:
“Third brother, your trident is all black. It doesn’t look like anything! I still thought this thing should be dazzling. Can’t you let me take a look?”
Tang San smiled slightly, turning the trident horizontally in his hand, holding it out to Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun reached out and wanted to grab the trident, but discovered Tang San didn’t show any sign of letting go. He couldn’t help glancing at him, thinking, don’t tell me it’s because it’s a divine instrument, third brother doesn’t want to let me look at it? No way! Third brother never thought of worldly possessions as important.
Tang San saw Fatty’s inwardly doubt,
“It’s not that I won’t let you hold it, it’s that I’m worried you can’t. This trident is very heavy.”
Ma Hongjun said somewhat doubtfully:
“Third brother, you’re underestimating me too much. I’m still eighty first rank. No matter what I’m at the Spirit Douluo level. Even if this thing is a divine instrument, I’d still at least be able to lift it.”
