Hearing the words 'external spirit bone', the three Spirit Douluo practically simultaneously stood up from their seats, and Qin Ming leapt up as if he'd burned his buttocks.
The three Spirit Douluo looked at each other, their insight was of course incomparable to what Qin Ming was capable of, and they had instantly realized that the Eight Spider Lances on Tang San's back was a spirit bone instead of a spirit. But they still hadn't expected it would actually be an external spirit bone.
They could feel its power just from the atmosphere released by Eight Spider Lances.
A just thirteen year old child, had not only reached beyond the thirtieth rank of spirit power, but even possessed an external spirit bone, that object ranked only second to a hundred thousand year spirit ring on the wishlists of all Spirit Masters. What did this signify? What kind of potential was this? Even though his spirit was only Blue Silver Grass?
"This-, is this really an external spirit bone?"
Meng Shen-Ji's voice trembled severely.
Grandmaster nodded, saying:
"I'm certain. However, I'll ask the board to keep it secret. Although the external spirit bone is already fused with Tang San's body and won't be released after his death like other spirit bones, but treasuring a jade ring may become a crime even for innocent men. I still don't wish for him to face too formidable opponents as he matures."
"We understand, don't worry, we swear on our spirits, we absolutely will not divulge this to anyone."
The expression in Meng Shen-Ji's eyes was gratitude.
The reason was very simple: the Shrek group hadn't concealed the matter of Tang San's external spirit bone from them, this point alone proved how much they valued Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
An external spirit bone really was too precious. Should some vicious formidable Spirit Masters learn of it, they absolutely wouldn't leave Tang San room to grow.
In fact, how was Grandmaster such a careless person; he had long before even coming here made meticulous investigations about Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. These three Spirit Douluo were all revered in the Spirit World as kind hearted seniors, otherwise he wouldn't so easily have exposed Tang San's secret.
Heat, that was all Tang San felt right now. The uncomfortable feeling from the pressure had already completely disappeared, right now he only felt as if he was roasting in a blast furnace, somewhat similar to the feeling of absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring, but compared to that time this suffering was a lot less. Only the burning heat, and without the pain.
Although the circulation of Mysterious Heaven Skill internal strength had slowed down considerably, with each revolution it became thicker, and seemed to constantly attack some particular energy channels.
That shattering feeling Tang San had before seemed to be the result of an energy channel connecting.
The moment the pressure was the greatest, Tang San hadn't realized a black light shone in his left palm, but he still had a feeling of great strength bursting forth from within his heart. Were it not for that feeling of the energy channel connecting, perhaps his other spirit would have appeared.
Right now Tang San didn't have the capability to think it over, and was only enduring the shock of that flowing heat. Within him Mysterious Heaven Skill seemed to absorb it, with each revolution Tang San would feel a bit more comfortable. Therefore he could only keep going.
After a brief moment of shock the three Spirit Douluo gradually calmed, but Qin Ming clearly lacked a bit in inner qualities, and was still extremely agitated.
Meng Shen-Ji loosed a long breath,
"I didn't expect, I truly didn't expect, that in our Spirit Master world there would be such a genius. I truly am happy to have met all of you here today."
Flender equally loosed a breath, shooting Grandmaster an inquisitive look. Grandmaster lightly nodded to him, hinting there would be no problems with Tang San.
Flender then said to Meng Shen-Ji:
"We dare not take credit for this child's capabilities, he's Grandmaster's direct disciple. Moreover, his own innate talent is exceptionally outstanding. In our Shrek Academy's history, these seven children are all the most gifted by heaven. Not only Tang San, but each of the others also have their own talent. The reason we chose to come to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy wasn't to let their talents be buried, but in the hopes that here they would be able to fully develop their talent with the best cultivation environments. They are the last class of Shrek Academy, and as dean, I truly hope to one day see their capabilities as Title Douluo, far surpassing my own achievements."
Right now Flender's eyes didn't hold a hint of deviousness, filled with sincerity. And the Shrek Six Devils behind him hearing Flender's words got a somewhat strange feeling; they found that Flender seemed to become even older, the silhouette of his back giving off a lonely feeling.
Yes, as a dean, having to bring disciples to another academy for cultivation, to an arrogant person like Flender, how could his heart truly be at ease?
Even if he never showed it, how could his inner world be serene?
Meng Shen-Ji nodded to Flender,
"Dean Flender, be at ease. We three guarantee you that we will provide these children with the best cultivation facilities here, to the best of our ability. The best cultivation facilities, and anything else you ask for. Even if in the future they don't want to fight on behalf of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, it still doesn't matter. Just imagine, one day, as they stand at the summit of the Spirit Master world, if their records would hold the name Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, this is already enough to satisfy us."
Flender stood up, bowing courteously to the three Spirit Douluo,
"Thank you seniors."
Watching this scene, Grandmaster finally showed a smile, inwardly saying, 'Flender, oh, Flender, if I hadn't already clearly grasped the natures of these three board members, would I have brought you here? Whatever happened in the past, in my heart, you are still my big brother, of course I hope to see you spend your later years comfortably.'
At this moment, a long groan attracted everyone's attention.
Just in time to see Tang San spit out a dense white mist, no longer as faint as before, as if it had congealed. Breathing out from the mouth, again inhaling through the nose, the red tone of Tang San's skin had already completely vanished, as had the swelling. It seemed he had entirely recovered to normal.
As the white mist was completely inhaled, Tang San gradually opened his eyes. In this moment, to everyone in the board hall they seemed like a pair of cold stars.
Even though that bright cold light only flickered for a moment and was gone, everyone saw that Tang San was different from before.
Eight Spider Lances withdrew into Tang San's back in practically the space of a breath, compared to before, this speed was several times faster.
Unfortunately, the clothes on his back were shredded. This was perhaps the one fault of Eight Spider Lances. Someone as frugal as Tang San still regretted the loss of the clothes.
Tang San noticed everyone's attention on him, and first calmly bowed to the three Spirit Douluo, and without saying anything, with a guileless expression walked over behind Grandmaster.
Right now, Tang San basically didn't have the mental capacity to spare for any chatter, his entire mind was focused on his body. When that shattering sound appeared, he was under enormous spirit power pressure and naturally didn't know what had changed. But right now, after sobering, he immediately recognized the difference.
First of all, his spirit power had leapt up by one rank, and even more importantly, all his physical attributes seemed to have increased.
That increase wasn't something one rank of spirit power could result in.
Basically, it was because under that tremendous pressure he had broken open an energy channel. This energy channel didn't just let Eight Spirit Lances perfectly fuse with him, but at the same time, it caused a not insignificant change in his body.
Spirit power at thirty fourth rank, yet his physical attributes should surpass the level of the fortieth rank.
Regarding the breaking open of this energy channel, perhaps even Grandmaster would be unable to explain the reason why, but Tang San understood it very clearly on his own. Because, that was what was described in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record as the eight extraordinary meridians.
Explicitly stated in Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was that if the eight extraordinary meridians connected into one path, Mysterious Heaven Skill would benefit greatly, and one of Mysterious Heaven Skill's great criteria for completion, besides reaching the eighth tier, was to break open all eight extraordinary meridians. Described in Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was that, a person who had connected the eight extraordinary meridians, whether in heaven or hell, would be omnipotent.
Although these were just simple words, it amply proved just how enormous the effect might be from completely breaking open the eight extraordinary meridians.
Tang San's understanding of the eight extraordinary meridians came from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, where it was described extremely detailed.
The four limbs had the eight acupuncture points Broken Sequence, Back Ravine, Inner Pass, Outer Pass, Shining Sea, Extending Vessel, Yellow Emperor and Foot Overlooking Tears separately leading to the eight Conception, Governing, Yin linking, Yang linking, Yin Heel, Yang Heel, Penetrating and Girdle meridians. Meaning these acupuncture points separately could connect the head, face and torso to the eight extraordinary meridians.
