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.

 


Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Ning Rongrong’s Talent in Spiritual Power

Meanwhile, Su Ming's first stop upon returning to the academy was to find Ning Rongrong.

Recently, Su Ming had been focused on his own training and had unintentionally neglected her. Ning Rongrong could now defend herself with Lingbo Microsteps, yet she still lacked offensive techniques.

When Ning Rongrong entered spiritual training techniques faster than Xiao Wu, Su Ming had been surprised, but he hadn't thought much of it since they were traveling to Star Dou Forest, and Ning Rongrong's entrance time was still slightly slower than his own. However, he now realized he had overlooked her potential.

In Su Ming's Soul Tool, he had a technique that fit her needs. It was a spiritual-based martial technique for offensive defense, one he himself had set aside because it wasn't very useful for him. However, for Ning Rongrong, it could be a valuable self-defense tool.

Inside Ning Rongrong's Room

Su Ming looked at her earnestly and said, "Rongrong, I have a technique that could suit you. It's specifically designed for spiritual attacks, but I need to confirm if you have the necessary spiritual talent first."

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up with excitement—finally, she'd have an offensive ability! She nodded enthusiastically.

Su Ming moved his forehead to touch hers, closely examining her spiritual state. Ning Rongrong blushed deeply at the unexpected gesture; although she and Su Ming had a special relationship, the sudden closeness made her a bit shy.

After a moment, Su Ming was astonished—Ning Rongrong's spiritual sea was anything but weak. By his estimate, her spiritual power was comparable to a Soul Saint's level, or, in terms of Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes, it was at the initial Grain Boundary level.

For Ning Rongrong to have reached this level, even with daily practice, suggested that her inherent spiritual talent was higher than average, combined with extra training support.

Seeing this, Su Ming nodded approvingly and took out a book on the martial technique from his Soul Tool. "Rongrong, you have impressive spiritual talent. This technique will let you condense spiritual swords that can be used both offensively and defensively, depending on your mastery."

"If you get proficient, you could even form a larger sword for flight, though it's mostly for show and takes a lot of spiritual power. There's also a spiritual shield option, allowing you to form an invisible shield before you."

He continued, "Our spiritual power is invisible, but as long as we control it skillfully, we can shape it however we want. This technique is a starting point—you can adapt it in any way you like."

Overjoyed, Ning Rongrong accepted the book. She was intelligent enough to understand the basics easily, but she felt she needed to repay him in some way for all his help.

Without warning, she hugged Su Ming, lifted her head, and closed her eyes.

Su Ming chuckled, kissed her gently, and lifted her up, carrying her to the bed, where a warm atmosphere soon filled the room.

An Hour Later

Fatigued, Ning Rongrong asked for a break, but Su Ming, leaning close, whispered, "Rongrong…meet one little condition, and we'll end the training session."

"What condition?" she asked, exhausted.

Su Ming whispered his request softly, making Ning Rongrong shiver. Although hesitant, she ultimately agreed to his terms.

The Next Morning

Thanks to Su Ming's healing abilities, Ning Rongrong felt fully refreshed. She initially planned to go with him to watch the matches at the Great Spirit Arena, but Su Ming insisted she stay at the academy to focus on mastering the spiritual technique he'd given her, as it would ensure her safety during the tournament.

While it might be easier to use weapons controlled by spiritual power, weapons weren't allowed in the tournament. This meant Ning Rongrong would need to condense spiritual swords independently.

This method, though cumbersome, would help her condense her spiritual power and hone it more effectively by jumping straight to advanced spiritual applications. Additionally, if she could later incorporate rare metals into her spiritual swords, they'd become far stronger than simple spiritual manifestations.

As Su Ming mused, he recalled a place that could help—Gengxin City, the capital of blacksmithing. Known for its rare metals, it could provide the raw materials for Ning Rongrong to build even stronger tools if refined by Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan craftsmen.

If Ning Rongrong improved her spiritual power over time, her spiritual weapons could even rival Tang San's hidden weapons, eventually breaking through the defenses of average Titled Douluo.
