Chapter 156: External Spirit Bone (2)
Tang San put on his clothing, asking Grandmaster:
"Teacher, then after all what use does my external spirit bone have?"
Grandmaster said:
"What concrete uses it has I can't presently say. I must study it for a time to get a clear sense. Starting from today, adding to your cultivation assignment, is then to as quickly as possible master the use of the external spirit bone. From seeing the condition just now, this external spirit bone possesses extremely powerful attack power, not only piercing, but also extreme toxicity. If my thoughts are correct, then you should be able to control the poison on the spider legs. Possibly discharging according to your intentions. At the same time, with those eight spider legs' length, haven't you thought of how to use them to move around instead of your pair of legs?"
Tang San was an astute person, with Grandmaster raising the point he immediately understood,
"If it's like that, not only speed would increase, but also the effect of terrain on movement speed would substantially decrease."
Grandmaster smiled slightly, saying:
"Therefore, these eight legs provide you with the capability to move unhindered by terrain. As for its advantages, you will hereafter see even more surprises. Furthermore, it will still evolve along with each time you advance a spirit ring, the power will even exceed your imagination, with it, you currently already have a chance when fighting opponents within a ten rank difference of you. Moreover, because external spirit bones are uncommon, only if you tell them yourself would anyone know these eight spider legs are spirit bones, most will only believe they're one of the manifestations of your Blue Silver Grass. After all, apart from its hardness, its exterior is still extremely similar to Blue Silver Grass. As for later being able to control to what degree it manifests depends on your own effort. If you can let those eight spider legs become like eight highly toxic lances moving like the fingers of your own hand, one can imagine to what degree your fighting strength will grow."
As Tang San and Grandmaster returned to Shrek Academy, the sky was already bright, Grandmaster had today said a lot relating to spirit bones, although it was only an overview, Tang San still had to gradually digest this information.
"Little San, go eat breakfast. Starting from today, I will rearrange a cultivation plan for you."
Tang San raised his head to look at Grandmaster,
"Teacher, will you leave?"
It seemed to him that Grandmaster giving him a planned cultivation method, might be because he had to leave. His heart couldn't help but drop.
Grandmaster smiled slightly, saying:
"Be at ease. Teacher isn't leaving. I still fear problems will arise as you practice with your external spirit bone. This external spirit bone is already a part of your body, completely fused together with your vertebra. In the event issues appear, it's very possible they're fatal. Therefore, I can only remain here."
"Teacher isn't leaving? That's truly great."
Once Tang San heard Grandmaster was staying and guiding his cultivation, he couldn't help but be elated.
Grandmaster's face revealed an anticipatory mood,
"Little San, do you know, right now I very much want to see your appearance in twenty years. My decision to stay behind is also not just for you. There still are those academy companions of yours. Each of you can be described as geniuses. If you don't have a suitable cultivation method, wouldn't it be a waste? Although Flender has a lot of experience with cultivation, in very many details he still isn't sufficiently good. I hope that from here on you will be able to become a formidable group. Therefore, from now on I must use the most refined cultivation methods to guide you."
To Tang San, the reason Grandmaster stayed wasn't at all important, the key point was that he had decided to stay, this alone was sufficient.
The teacher and disciple pair reached the Academy dining hall. Whether it was because rushing yesterday was too exhausting, although currently in the dining hall breakfast was already prepared, there wasn't a soul in sight.
Tang San hastily ladled two bowls of congee for him and Grandmaster respectively. Shrek Academy wasn't well off, so breakfast naturally wouldn't be lavish. Today's breakfast was very simple: steamed bread, a vegetable dish, congee, and for each person one egg.
Seeing Tang San bring his breakfast, Grandmaster frowned.
"Flender gives you this to eat?"
Grandmaster's rigid face looked somewhat sinister.
Tang San said:
"This is already very good, ah. Steamed bread until you're full. Compared to my childhood it's much better."
"A farce."
Grandmaster set aside the steamed bread in his hand, anger bubbling up, his character strict as always,
"To you growing children right now is an important time. The body is the capital of the spirit. Without a good body, how can you persevere with intense cultivation, this breakfast is sufficient to people at my and Flender's age, but to you children it's still far from enough."
While Grandmaster was getting angry, Flender's lazy voice reached them from outside,
"I say, Grandmaster, it's all very well for you to talk like this, you also know these children are all growing. Do you know how much they eat in one day? Buying exotic delicacies at Suotuo City, how could the financial condition of the Academy permit me to give them luxury foodstuffs to eat, if you want to sponsor it, I have no objections."
Along with the voice, Flender walked in from outside.
Seeing him, Grandmaster's complexion eased somewhat,
"No matter the Academy's difficulties, since I've decided to stay, as a teacher here, I absolutely cannot let the children suffer. Flender, give me full authority to handle this matter. From hereon what each of these childrens meals are, leave it to my discretion."
Flender laughed in his heart,
"Why, Xiao Gang, you've decided to stay?"
Grandmaster nodded,
"Whether it's for Tang San, or for these little monsters you've recruited, I've decided to stay here for a time. In these two days I've also easily found out about your current teaching methods, there are many areas that have to be improved. That day you said to me, as long as I wish to stay, you would give me authority. True?"
Flender understood Grandmaster only too well. Seeing his appearance, he already understood the vast determination of this old brother of his, although nothing showed on his face, in his heart already cheerfulness blossomed. Grandmaster's theoretical knowledge. That could be unrivalled under Heaven. Immediately, for fear that Grandmaster would change his mind, he at once delightedly said:
"No problem, you only have to first tell me what you're doing. The Academy's teachers will follow your allocation. Of course, if you need to spend money you have to first tell me. The Academy's financial situation is still lacking compared to your imagination."
Grandmaster frowned slightly, saying:
"I know these people of yours are all proud and aloof contemporaries, but can't you be flexible in some way to increase revenue?"
Flender stared blankly, laughing in spite of himself:
"Someone as rigid as you still knows flexibility?"
Grandmaster's gentle gaze looked at Tang San by his side,
"For these children, what is a bit of flexibility?"
Flender laughed,
"All right, as long as it doesn't violate my integrity doctrine, you can be as flexible as you wish."
After breakfast, the bell sounded punctually, all the students gathering on the Academy grounds.
Today seemed especially bustling, not only did two heads Flender and Zhao Wuji come, in addition Grandmaster and the Academy's other several teachers also all arrived on the grounds.
Besides the two heads, the Academy originally still had three teachers, the three in charge of the three entrance exams. Tang San was only familiar with one of them, that old man who at that time had used a staff spirit to scare away a lot of people.
"Good. Everyone's present. Next I have some matters to declare."
Flender walked over before the seven students, his gaze solemnly sweeping across the seven.
"First. I will give you newly arrived four students an introduction to the Academy teachers."
Speaking, Flender indicated the one Tang San had already met, the Long Staff Spirit old man.
