But Xiao Wu’s previously smiling face suddenly stiffened, her whole body emanating a special kind of energy pulses.
What Tang San wanted to do was extremely complex, he not only wanted to help Xiao Wu absorb the god bestowed spirit ring, but even more help her perfectly absorb the Deep Sea Demon Whale King energy and Seagod energy that had been hidden within her recently. Under his divine sense control, the god bestowed spirit ring’s energy was restricted to a certain range around Xiao Wu. Her energy channels were durable enough that there was no need to worry about damage from absorbing the god bestowed spirit ring. At the same time, Tang San also infused his own Seagod power into Xiao Wu, not to give her power, but rather help her connect her energy channels.
Xiao Wu’s energy channels were extremely unobstructed to begin with, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and Yearning Heartbroken Red had unblocked the majority of them, but back then Xiao Wu still didn’t have enough strength to guide the medicinal force and connect all her energy channels. Therefore, even if those channels were already connected, the passage was still extremely narrow. What Tang San did now was to help her connect the twelve standard meridians as well as the eight extraordinary ones. Regardless of how unblocked they were, Tang San used his Seagod power to make them as wide as avenues.
Splitting attention in two was something even Ning Rongrong could easily manage, her heart splitting control ability was already extremely powerful. But her skill could only control different abilities to hit different targets. And Tang San’s attention splitting was still used for two entirely different things, on one hand to the energy in Xiao Wu to withstand the god bestowed spirit ring, and on the other to help unblock her energy channels with all his strength. Any one of these was difficult beyond difficult for Title Douluo level powers, let alone doing both at the same time. Even Tang San absolutely couldn’t have done it before he became the Seagod.
The formidable Seagod divine sense gave him the absolute power and mental strength to complete the work. Xiao Wu’s faintly golden energy channels were connected one by one through the golden blue Seagod power’s effect, while the remaining immortal grade medicinal power piled up energy flowed into her veins guided by Tang San’s Seagod power. In just one circulation, Xiao Wu’s spirit power had practically doubled. Even the broken spirit ring-less spirit power couldn’t climb to such a degree, forcing the god bestowed spirit ring to climb to an all new level. Moreover, with Tang San’s Seagod divine sense guidance, the speed with which this eighth spirit ring was absorbed was geometrically multiplied.
Back when Tang San helped his father clear his energy channels he had been extremely exhausted, but now he was still in glowing spirits even performing two tasks, this was the power of the god level.
From where Tang San sat bahind Xiao Wu, that dazzling blood red eighth spirit ring climbed up over Xiao Wu. In just the time it took for a cup of tea, the spirit power within her was like a vast river, unstoppably coursing through her energy channels. The enormous energy gave Xiao Wu’s skin a luster like white jade.
At the same time as the eighth spirit ring was completely absorbed, Tang San completed connecting all the energy channels. The spirit power within Xiao Wu was vivid, the enormous energy waves already directly reaching the Title Douluo level. And next, was the ninth spirit ring.
“Ge…….”
Xiao Wu called softly.
Tang San whispered:
“Don’t be distracted, use the second god bestowed spirit ring, let’s continue.”
Xiao Wu burst into giggles,
“With you here, what does it matter if I’m distracted?”
Tang San said sternly:
“Xiao Wu, don’t rely on me too much, that’s not beneficial to your future cultivation. While I help you resist the god bestowed spirit ring, earnestly sense how I control the energy within you, that will be very beneficial to your future strength.”
To have a god level power control your energy was an extremely valuable experience to common spirit masters. Xiao Wu nodded softly, putting her thoughts in order, then took out the second god bestowed spirit ring.
With the stacked reward, Xiao Wu had obtained altogether three god bestowed spirit ring, and this second one was enough to bring her cultivation to the peak.
A golden ring of light quietly spread out, then instantly blended into Xiao Wu’s body. After the gentle energy entered Xiao Wu’s body it instantly grew violent. Since Xiao Wu already had one hundred thousand year spirit ring, this god bestowed spirit ring’s energy immediately rose to the highest level as soon as it entered her.
Tang San sat behind Xiao Wu, calmly circulating Xiao Wu’s spirit power to resist the god bestowed spirit ring’s eruption. This moment was the most crucial to absorbing the god bestowed spirit ring. The greater the erupting force you could withstand, the greater the benefits of the energy you absorbed next.
In order for Tang San to reach his purpose, even though he had already completely opened Xiao Wu’s energy channels, he still held both hands on her back, helping her absorb this last spirit ring.
Tang San was able to help Xiao Wu resist the god bestowed spirit ring’s energy even with his attention split in two, let alone now that he was using all his attention to control her energy.
Sensing Tang San controlling the spirit power within her, Xiao Wu could only describe it in one word: Shocking.
When the god bestowed spirit ring’s energy erupted, it erupted according to the total amount of energy within Xiao Wu, then by relying on the enormous pressure, it would arouse her potential. Enduring greater pressure could give an even stronger spirit ring. But after the god bestowed spirit ring’s energy erupted, Tang San’s methods widened Xiao Wu’s ken.
Tang San split Xiao Wu’s energy into ten, each one controlled by a strand of divine sense. Under Tang San’s control, nine of the energies not only blocked the god bestowed spirit ring’s eruption, but even constantly counterattacked it, striking it from all directions. Even though this couldn’t absorb the god bestowed spirit ring, the just attacked spirit ring energy could only condense into one certain point.
Xiao Wu’s spirit power wasn’t as formidable as the god bestowed spirit ring, but Tang San used his divine sense to stubbornly compress Xiao Wu’s spirit power to a certain degree, and the explosive energy of the compressed spirit power naturally rose substantially. If it was just one strand of energy moving like this, Xiao Wu thought she could try it too, but Tang San had nine pieces of spirit power act in different places, and this control was something Xiao Wu couldn’t even imagine. Absorbing a god bestowed spirit ring should have been a kind of trial, but the spirit ring Xiao Wu now absorbed had been forcefully struck by her spirit power, and completely restricted. If the god bestowed spirit ring was intelligent, it would definitely feel it was extremely unfair.
What shocked Xiao Wu the most was that the shocking compressed explosive attack force of the nine streams of spirit power Tang San controlled restricted that god bestowed spirit ring’s energy, and could frequently blast off a bit of the spirit ring with the attacks, draining a way a bit of its energy. And the last stream of energy that Tang San controlled, the one that didn’t join in the frontal battle, would easily wrap up these strand of god bestowed spirit ring energy, absorbing them into Xiao Wu.
Just at the start, the results of Tang San’s actions weren’t entirely clear. After all, the god bestowed spirit ring’s explosive power was still extremely terrifying. But as time went on, and more and more energy was blasted from the god bestowed spirit ring, its and Xiao Wu’s energy gradually changed in contrast.
Tang San started slowly, and the initial nine blocking strands compared to one energy gathering strand changed, becoming eight to two; eight strands of spirit power blocking, two absorbing. At this point, the energy absorption speed definitely rose substantially. Eight to one gradually changed to seven to three, then six to four. When this distribution changed to five to five, Tang San gathered all of Xiao Wu’s energy together,
launching the final strike on the god bestowed spirit ring.
“Will this work too?”
Xiao Wu shocked sensed the energy change within her, admiring Tang San. Leaving aside how exquisite Tang San’s use of divine sense to control her spirit power was, just this way of thinking was shocking enough. Facing an opponent that actually surpassed you, relying on one force to draw all it’s power, then using a small force to deal with the small separated energies with complete superiority, slowly nibbling away at it, reaching the ultimate goal. The poor god bestowed spirit ring was forcibly absorbed by Xiao Wu’s spirit power. And this absorption process clearly didn’t leave a shred of waste, the god bestowed spirit ring’s quality would inevitably be displayed. This clearly showed how terrifying Tang San’s all out divine sense control was.
But, just as Tang San controlled Xiao Wu’s ten strands of spirit power to completely absorb the god bestowed spirit ring energy within Xiao Wu, and a blood red spirit ring emerged above Xiao Wu in the ninth position. Suddenly, a change occurred.
Without any warning, Tang San only felt a chill in his left palm, an ice cold flow suddenly pushing through his palm into Xiao Wu’s body through her back. This moment was also just when Tang San was going to pull his hand back. That sudden flow shocked Tang San, not only didn’t he dare remove his hands, he quickly controlled Xiao Wu’s spirit power to frantically push the cold flow into one place. Tang San even immediately unrestrained poured his Seagod divine sense into Xiao Wu. His previous completely calm face instantly turned ashen, cold sweat covering his forehead.
What could shock a god level power like Tang San so, even making him panic?
When that cold flow left Tang San’s palm, he already sensed that it was astonishingly his evolved Asura Domain energy. He truly felt the substantial killing intent, and moreover god level killing intent. Back then, even a million year spirit beast like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King didn’t dare resist this terrifying Asura killing intent. Why was energy like this pouring into Xiao Wu? With such a sudden change occurring, how could Tang San not panic?
Even though Xiao Wu’s body had already reached the demigod level, and even just reached Title Douluo, perfectly absorbing the energy with Tang San’s help, her spirit power no less than Dai Mubai’s, while she hadn’t completely broken through to rank ninety six, she was already at the peak of rank ninety five. This was already quite frightening strength. But what she faced was the Asura God’s presence! That was the Asura God that might even be above the Seagod. The divine inheritance that the strongest Clear Sky School lord of a generation, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen had never been able to inherit with his life’s effort. The killing intent of one of the divine realm’s five supreme powers and one of the three grand enforcers. Moreover, this energy reached Xiao Wu through Tang San. Tang San didn’t dare imagine that Xiao Wu would have some accident, he didn’t dare imagine what he would turn into if it did.
In this instant, fear, regret and all kinds of negative emotions filled Tang San’s heart, even his divine sense became a bit disordered. Just what is called ‘concern causes confusion’, when his most beloved was in mortal danger, Tang San’s eternal calm could no longer be maintained.
Compared to Tang San’s instant mood changes, Xiao Wu was instead much calmer. She only felt an ice cold feeling flow into her from behind, then a refreshing chill flowed out through her entire body. And at this moment, Tang San had brought out all her peak rank ninety five spirit power, as well as all the Seagod power he could pour into her without harming her, quickly striking that cold flow, in order to completely annihilate it before it could completely disperse.
Chapter 321: Xiao Wu’s Choice, Devil Sword In Flesh
At the moment Tang San wasn’t going to reflect on how this Asura God power was related to him or how destroying it would influence him. All he thought of was to make sure Xiao Wu was fine, even if he died, he couldn’t let this Asura God’s energy hurt her.
Tang San didn’t react slowly, but all this happened too fast. From that Asura God power entering Xiao Wu, to the moment Tang San reacted to help, even though it was just one short second, to a god level force, this second was enough.
The Asura God’s power only gave Xiao Wu a refreshing and gentle feeling, at most it was a bit fast. But in Tang San’s senses, this force was entirely destructive. Xiao Wu’s spirit power met it, but basically couldn’t even hinder it. That terrifying Asura God’s power was like a sharp needle, rigidily passing through Xiao Wu’s spirit power blocks, directly pouring into her veins.
This moment, Tang San’s Seagod divine power also came chasing. But once he caught up, the Asura God’s power had already split in countless directions, simultaneously infiltrating Xiao Wu’s different energy channels, sticking close to them, actually melding together with them. Even though Tang San charged up momentum, preparing to rely on his divine power to surround and annihilate it, now he didn’t have anywhere to start. Unless he was prepared to ruin Xiao Wu’s energy channels. Otherwise, he could do nothing about the Asura God’s power now.
How come? Tang San screamed inwardly. All he could do now was to do his best to infuse his own Seagod’s power into Xiao Wu’s energy channels, protecting them for fear that the Asura God’s power would suddenly explode, destroying Xiao Wu.
But, shocking Tang San, after those countless Asura God power pieces blended into Xiao Wu’s energy channels, they immediately began to fuse. There were no signs of an eruption, so much that it didn’t even radiate a bit of killing intent. Tang San watched blankly as Xiao Wu’s originally slightly hallowed golden energy channels turned pure golden under the Asura God power’s influence, a dark gold filled with chilling killing intent.
This, just what……..
Regardless of Tang San’s intelligence, right now he couldn’t help being dumbfounded. He clearly felt how the mental link between him and Xiao Wu that originally needed extreme nervousness or full attention to slightly sense, now became completely clear, especially the feeling of blood connection became especially distinct. It was as if Xiao Wu had become an extension of his left hand, a part of him.
As Tang San slowly opened his eyes, they were filled with incredulity as he looked at Xiao Wu. He was a bit speechless. Xiao Wu seemed no worse off, her charming face colored with a faint blush, just like a red apple, perfectly agreeable. Her energy aura actually broke through once again along with the Asura God power’s merging, charging through the rank ninety five bottleneck into rank ninety six. Even Tang San needed to search with his Seagod divine senses to sense the Asura God’s power she contained.
Retracting his hands, Tang San firmly watched Xiao Wu in front of him. Right now he was completely terrified, fearful that Xiao Wu’s body would suddenly explode from that frightful Asura God’s power the next instant. All he could do now was pray. Xiao Wu’s body might already be permeated with the Asura God’s power. Even Tang San could do nothing to stop it from erupting.
At this moment, nobody noticed a dark red light suddenly rising in a corner, floating in Xiao Wu and Tang San’s direction.
Tang San’s divine sense twitched, and he instantly sensed its existence. When he turned his head to look, the two meter long Asura Devilsword that he had practically forgotten in the Seagod Hall, was slowly floating towards Xiao Wu.
Strangely, before Tang San inherited the Seagod’s divine power, the incredible thirst he had felt for this devilsword’s power, the extreme desire to feel it grasped in his left hand, was now already gone.
Regarding this bit, Tang San wasn’t surprised. After all, he had now already become the Seagod, that he no longer felt anything for another god’s inheritance was normal.
Golden blue light flashed in his right hand, the Seagod Trident appearing in his grasp. A halo of golden blue light appeared in front of him and Xiao Wu, the intense Seagod energy instantly blocking that uncalled for Asura Devilsword outside.
The Asura God energy had already fused into Xiao Wu’s body, and now this Asura Devilsw
ord came flying, all kinds of unclear signs made Tang San perplexed, but his fear faded a bit.
“Ge, it seems to be looking for me.”
Xiao Wu’s voice echoed next to Tang San. Having absorbed the spirit ring, she had already opened her eyes, fixedly watching that Asura Devilsword, her eyes filled with a thirsty light. Illuminated by the Asura Devilsword’s deep red light, Xiao Wu’s skin seemed to reveal faint deep red magic patterns.
“Looking for you?”
Tang San turned his head to glance at Xiao Wu. Suddenly, he had a thought. Xiao Wu was like Ning Rongrong and Oscar, having just reached Title Douluo level strength, she also possessed his aura. Could it be that after the Asura God’s divinity discovered it couldn’t be inherited by him, it felt that Xiao Wu already possessed equivalent strength as well as his scent, and specially guided his evolved Asura Domain into her body to accept his inheritance? If that was the case, it was a good thing.
From an emotional point of view, Tang San really wasn’t interested in the Asura God. That he chose to inherit the Seagod was admittedly related to already having passed eight Seagod trials, but was also closely related to what he felt about the Asura God.
After all, in order to inherit the Asura God, his great grandfather had spent his life without succeeding. Thus Asura God power was also too overbearing, filled with incredibly cold murderous spirit. The stronger it was the harder it was to control, nowhere was it as familiar to him as the Seagod’s divine power.
Now that it seemed like the Asura God had chosen Xiao Wu, even though Tang San felt that this should be a good thing, he still couldn’t be happy. Becoming the God of Asura was definitely extremely dangerous, and even though Xiao Wu’s strength had already reached a reasonable level, there was still a large gap to inheriting divinity. And in this process, even if there were no accidents, mortal danger might still appear. And how could Xiao Wu stand the Asura God’s ice cold killing intent? In fact, the stronger the god, the more dangerous the inheritance. Even if Xiao Wu’s gentle temperament hid persistence, facing an incredible sharp divinity like the Asura God, could she succeed?
