Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Devouring Shi Nian?

After some time, Tang San slowly opened his eyes. Yu Xiaogang and the others immediately gathered around him upon seeing he was awake.

Yu Xiaogang asked urgently, "Xiao San, how do you feel? How did you end up being attacked by Shi Nian from Canghui Academy?"

Tang San shook his slightly dizzy head and replied, "I'm not entirely sure. Shi Nian said that Shrek Academy had somehow offended his students before, and he wanted to kill us, starting with me. Luckily, Father showed up in time; otherwise, I might not be here now. By the way, where is Father?"

At this moment, Tang Hao walked over, speaking coldly, "Xiao San, why didn't you return with the others after the competition but instead wandered around the city on your own? If I hadn't been watching over you from the shadows, you'd be dead now."

Tang San looked embarrassed. He had only been seeking a way to improve his strength more quickly and hadn't expected to run into Shi Nian.

But how could he explain this to his father and teacher?

After a moment of silence, Tang San realized his father had been protecting him all along. He knew he owed them an explanation.

Glancing over at Dai Mubai and the others, Tang San gave a subtle look, and Dai Mubai and Oscar got the hint, said a quick farewell, and left.

The two understood that Tang San had secrets he couldn't yet share, but they trusted he would speak when ready.

Now, with only Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao in the room, Tang San finally spoke, "Teacher, Father, I wasn't just wandering aimlessly; I had a purpose."

Yu Xiaogang looked puzzled. "Xiao San, what purpose could you have? Wandering around like that wouldn't help you improve your strength, would it?"

Tang San nodded. "Yes, Teacher. It actually does help improve my strength."

Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao both looked incredulous. How could that be possible?

But they knew Tang San wouldn't speak without reason.

Tang San explained, "Over the past few days, I discovered that my Blue Silver Grass spirit seems to have mutated, developing a devouring ability."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up. "Xiao San, are you saying that your Blue Silver Grass can now absorb others' spirit power to enhance your own?"

Tang Hao frowned. "Xiao San, are you sure there are no harmful side effects? Spirits with devouring abilities do exist on the continent, but most of them belong to Evil Spirit Masters who gain them through dark arts. They can quickly increase power but often come with severe side effects. Are you sure...?"

Tang Hao was primarily concerned about potential negative effects on Tang San, showing no sympathy for those whose spirit power he might absorb.

Tang San quickly reassured him. "There's no harm, Father. So far, I haven't experienced any adverse effects. Also, my Blue Silver Grass doesn't just absorb spirit power; it can also absorb the properties of others' spirits. Now, it has acquired basic resistance to lightning, water, and fire!"

Both men were truly stunned. They hadn't expected such a transformation in Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. As long as there were no side effects, this change could only benefit Tang San.

Holding back his excitement, Yu Xiaogang asked, "So, if you continue to devour others' powers, not only will your strength increase rapidly, but your Blue Silver Grass will gain more resistances as well? The more you absorb, the stronger the resistance?"

Tang San smiled and nodded. "Yes, but I have to be discreet, absorbing only a little at a time. If I absorb too much from one person, they might lose so much spirit power and energy that they… disappear. That's why I've been moving around the city."

"Right now, with the Spirit Master Tournament happening, most people in the city have spirit power, so even though I only take a little from each person, it adds up and helps me improve significantly."

Tang Hao nodded, showing no concern for any negative effects on others as long as it benefited his son.

Though Yu Xiaogang thought this approach was a bit questionable, he said nothing. With this newfound ability, Tang San's cultivation could likely progress rapidly over the next month.

With the Heaven Dou Academy's first team not participating in the preliminary and qualifying matches, Tang San would have ample time to prepare.

Once Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had reached a certain level, Yu Xiaogang knew they would have to add spirit rings to his Clear Sky Hammer. Historically, Bibi Dong was the only known Spirit Master to master the challenges of cultivating twin spirits; others had perished due to internal conflicts between their spirits or sheer physical strain.

He decided he would seek Bibi Dong in Spirit Hall. After all, despite their history, she still harbored feelings for him.

He, Yu Xiaogang, was confident of that!

Meanwhile, Tang Hao retrieved a spirit bone from his spatial device, along with Shi Nian's lifeless body, laying it aside.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were stunned momentarily before their eyes lit up at the sight of the spirit bone.

Tang Hao explained, "This bone came from Shi Nian. Xiao San, it's yours. It might not suit you perfectly, but you can keep it and maybe trade it for something more fitting later on."

With that, he tossed both the head bone and Shi Nian's spatial device to Tang San.

Tang San eagerly took both items. This spirit bone was at least ten thousand years old! Though it seemed to be illusion-based and not particularly suited to his own spirits, his Purple Demon Eye could make use of it. He hoped to eventually find a spirit bone that would enhance his mental power and perhaps even integrate with his Purple Demon Eye.

Stowing away the two items, Tang San turned his attention to Shi Nian's body. Since Shi Nian had only recently died, his attributes and spirit power remained intact, and he wondered if they might serve as nourishment for his abilities.

Regardless, Tang San decided to give it a try—anything that benefited him was worth considering.


Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Strength Enhancement and Tang Hao’s Plan

Slowly, Tang San steadied himself and stood up, moving carefully toward Shi Nian's corpse. Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang looked on in confusion, not expecting that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass might be able to absorb even from the dead.

"Xiao San, what are you doing? Your mental strength suffered serious damage from Shi Nian's illusion; you should be resting," they both said in unison.

Yu Xiaogang added, "Xiao San, don't compete in tomorrow's match. Rest up; risking further injury would be too costly."

Tang San shook his head, responding, "Father, Teacher, don't worry. I'm only thinking that since Shi Nian is already dead, if my Blue Silver Grass can fully absorb him, maybe it could give me a boost."

As he spoke, a gleam of greed flashed in Tang San's eyes as he looked at Shi Nian's body. If things went as he hoped, his power would increase even faster.

"What?!"

Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao exchanged surprised glances. If this worked, it would be a huge breakthrough for Tang San. Tang Hao even began to form a new plan in his mind.

Neither stopped Tang San; if it succeeded, it could significantly improve his chances in the tournament. Tang San approached Shi Nian's corpse and wrapped it tightly in his Blue Silver Grass.

Activating his Xuan Tian Skill, Tang San initiated Devour.

The moment it activated, Tang San felt something unusual: his spirit power was increasing!

It really worked!

A look of excitement filled Tang San's eyes. Since Shi Nian was already dead, Tang San intensified the devouring rate without hesitation.

With a loud surge, the residual spirit power and mental energy in Shi Nian's body were rapidly absorbed by Tang San.

In just a few minutes, Shi Nian's flesh and blood vanished, leaving only a skeleton, creating a terrifying sight.

Tang San's improvement was substantial; his spirit power shot from level 45 to 47. Had Shi Nian not been dead for so long, leaving less spirit power, he might have gained even more levels!

Still, the power increase was not the most significant change. When Tang San opened his eyes, a stronger violet hue appeared in them—his Purple Demon Eye had finally reached the Grain Boundary level!

Since Shi Nian had specialized in mental power, the remaining mental energy in his corpse had significantly boosted Tang San's mental strength.

Tang Hao, with his high-level abilities, immediately sensed the changes in his son. He was astonished that Tang San could even absorb a person who'd been dead for hours.

If he could devour spirit masters, perhaps he could devour spirit beasts too?

Yu Xiaogang, looking elated, asked, "Xiao San, did it work?"

Thanks to the mental boost, Tang San had fully recovered, standing up and replying, "Yes, Teacher. Both my mental strength and spirit power have improved significantly, and my injuries have healed. If Shi Nian hadn't been dead for so long, I might have absorbed even more power."

Tang Hao, visibly excited, clapped Tang San on the shoulder. "Xiao San, since you can devour spirit masters, there's no reason you can't devour spirit beasts, right?"

Tang San nodded. "That's right, Father. Do you want to take me to the Spirit Beast Forest?"

Tang Hao shook his head. "I had that idea, but not just yet. Let's wait until the preliminary round ends. For now, you can continue improving Blue Silver Grass's resistance by absorbing energy from people in the city—just a little from each person. Afterward, I'll bring you some wicked spirit masters to absorb, helping you improve even faster."

"Evil spirit masters deserve no mercy, and absorbing them shouldn't weigh on your conscience. Once you make it past the preliminary round, you won't need to compete in the qualifiers; by then, you should be around level 50, and we'll obtain your fifth spirit ring along the way."

Tang San's eyes sparkled at the thought of obtaining his fifth ring. He understood his father's plan to take him to the Blue Silver ancestral ground to evolve his bloodline during the qualifying round!

Yu Xiaogang nodded in agreement, adding, "Xiao San, if that's the case, you don't need to participate in the qualifiers. Use the time to strengthen yourself so you're ready to face both the Heaven Dou Academy's first team and the Spirit Hall team in the finals."

Yu Xiaogang continued, "If necessary, use your second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, during the preliminary rounds. While Blue Silver Grass can now absorb others' attributes, providing some resistances, it's not yet strong enough. The time is too short."

He then warned, "During our matches at Thunder Academy, Qin Ming and I observed other elemental academies. You must pay special attention to Fire Dance from Blaze Academy and Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy. Not only are their spirits rare, but their spirit skills are also exceptionally powerful. In particular, their respective elemental powers would be difficult to resist with your current Blue Silver Grass."

"Use the Clear Sky Hammer if you need to," he said, glancing over at Tang Hao.

Yu Xiaogang also noted the formidable threat from Kamikaze Academy, whose captain, Feng Xiaotian, wielded a mutant spirit with a unique self-created skill resembling the Clear Sky Hammer's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique, a challenge for Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

Tang Hao nodded, saying, "It's acceptable. Most of Tang San's training has focused on mastering the Clear Sky Hammer, and I intended for him to use it in the tournament. As for Spirit Hall, they wouldn't dare harm a junior. My Clear Sky Hammer is ready for them if they try."

A fierce aura erupted from Tang Hao as he said this.

Though Tang San considered arguing, he couldn't deny the truth. His Blue Silver Grass currently only had basic water and fire resistance, which would put him at a disadvantage against the extremities of Blaze and Tianshui Academy.

While his Blue Silver Grass had the potential to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor, it hadn't done so yet, leaving him without a defense against such potent elemental spirits.

With Blue Silver Grass restricted, the Clear Sky Hammer was his only hope.
