Chapter 273 The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Surprise (Part 2)

"Rongrong, don't cry. It's Grandpa Jian's own fault for being incompetent, how can I blame you? We agreed to test the hidden weapon. You didn't do anything wrong! This hidden weapon is indeed unpredictable." Saying this, he turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi beside him, "Sect Master, if possible, do everything you can to get the young man who made this hidden weapon to join our sect."

Sword Douluo spoke these last words with great seriousness, and he addressed Ning Fengzhi as "Sect Master," which shows how much he valued this matter.

Ning Fengzhi nodded seriously. He asked, "How effective are these hidden weapons if they can force a Title Douluo to release his Martial Soul and even cause him to suffer a loss?" It was certainly because Ning Rongrong had many reservations about using the Sword Douluo. However, they also knew beforehand that Ning Rongrong would use such weapons, and thus had some precautions. If they were facing an enemy, and the direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were generally lacking in offensive capabilities, what would happen if they suddenly released hidden weapons when the opponent was careless?

Ning Fengzhi was undoubtedly a wise sect leader. He made a decisive decision and said to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, don't tell anyone in the sect about this for now. Tomorrow I'll go with you to Shrek Academy. We'll have a good meeting with your third brother."

Ning Fengzhi's heart burned with excitement. His daughter's return today had brought him so many surprises. Leaving aside the hidden weapons, the mere fact that her martial soul had mutated, or rather evolved, to the level of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was of paramount importance to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He eagerly anticipated meeting the young man who had bestowed these gifts upon Ning Rongrong. Regardless, as a father, he needed to show his gratitude. Judging solely from Ning Rongrong's martial soul, Tang San had already done the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School an immense favor. At the same time, Ning Fengzhi harbored another thought. If he could truly recruit this genius youth, perhaps decades later, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have another Title Douluo as its guardian.

While Title Douluo's lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people, it is ultimately finite. Both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are already over eighty years old. They may be fine for the next few decades, but what about after that? They need to pave the way for their daughters to succeed them!

While the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was undergoing changes due to Ning Rongrong's return, Tang San was also quietly cultivating.

The injuries to his body were quite severe. After returning to his dormitory, Tang San cultivated until the early hours of the next day before regaining consciousness.

Slowly opening my eyes, I could vaguely see the light outside through the window; it was already dawn.

Taking a deep breath and sensing his internal condition, Tang San was relieved to find that the pain in his internal organs had completely disappeared, and everything had returned to normal. The 'Eight-Cornered Ice Grass' and 'Blazing Apricot Blossom', under the influence of the 'Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye,' had undergone a complete transformation of his body. Not only had his skin become more resilient, but his internal organs were also far superior to those of an ordinary person.

Just as Tang San himself said, no celestial herb has a weak effect. The fusion of two extreme celestial herbs creates an effect even approaching that of the celestial herb among celestial herbs, the "Heartbreak Red of Longing." However, because the ice and fire power contained within is too domineering, it needs to be absorbed slowly, bit by bit. That might last for Tang San's entire life.

My gaze inevitably fell on the dormitory table, where a piece of paper lay with a large sausage, Oscar's signature item, on it. On the opposite bed, Oscar was meditating, having returned sometime earlier than I could tell.

Tang San picked up the paper and sausage from the table. He saw that it was written in delicate, small characters.

"Brother, Oscar's back, so I'm heading back now. Have one of his sausages when you wake up. I'll come see you again tomorrow morning. —Xiao Wu"

Looking at the note on the table, Tang San felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He ate the sausage in a few bites, feeling the warmth spread throughout his body, and the last trace of discomfort disappeared.

As Oscar's soul power increased, the functions of his various sausages also improved. In addition to being used as food, the healing sausage's healing ability was also greatly enhanced.

Folding the note neatly and putting it into his pocket, Tang San quietly left the room and the dormitory building. Using the building's footholds, he made a few leaps and landed on the roof.

It was just dawn, and a faint white glow was beginning to appear in the distance.

With the Xuan Tian Gong flowing naturally within his body and his Chong Meridian opening up, the speed of the Xuan Tian Gong's operation increased significantly. A layer of hazy white light gradually appeared on Tang San's body, and with the power concentrated in his eyes, the Purple Demon Eyes gradually released their brilliance under the support of the Xuan Tian Gong.

The white light on the distant eastern horizon gradually became clearer, and the purple in Tang San's eyes also gradually intensified. In addition to the original purple, there was also a layer of light golden luster. As the pale white sky on the horizon gradually turned purple, the light in Tang San's eyes suddenly became stronger.

A purple-gold light burst forth from its eyes, like two bright beams of light, shooting out about a foot long. The light pulsed and contracted, as if it could easily absorb the purple energy from the East.

Under the effect of the "Looking-Through-Autumn-Water-Dew," Tang San's Purple Demon Eye underwent a qualitative leap. While his eyes now emitted a purple-gold light, from his own perspective, everything around him became exceptionally clear. His Purple Demon Eye had officially entered the third level, the "Mustard Seed," and under its activation, a world of rich layers and vibrant colors appeared before him. Even in the transparent air, he could discern faint specks of dust.

After entering the second level of the "Microscopic" realm, Tang San cultivated every day, but the progress of his Purple Demon Eyes was very small. However, with the help of "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew," his morning practice gave him a feeling of making rapid progress, as if he could see the purple aura on the horizon flying into his eyes. And the purple-gold light deep in his eyes was filled with a captivating aura.

The purple aura came quickly and went quickly. As the purple hue on the horizon quietly disappeared, the purple-gold light in Tang San's eyes did not fade. He discovered that he could see everything a thousand meters away clearly through the control of his consciousness, and even the morning mist could not block his penetrating gaze.

After taking the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water that day, Tang San felt that something had changed in his Purple Demon Eyes, but he still hadn't fully figured it out. What he was sure of was that it was definitely not just a simple increase in vision.

Taking a deep breath, Tang San absorbed the white mist surrounding his body back into his abdomen, as if the ocean were embracing all rivers. After circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill three times through his meridians, it slowly sank into his dantian. A night of cultivation, coupled with the enhancement from the Purple Demon Eye, seemed to have increased the overall power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

A faint smile appeared on his face. At this rate, he probably really could reach the highest level of the Mysterious Heaven Technique. And it shouldn't take too long. After all, he was still not even fourteen years old.

When Tang San returned to the dormitory, not only was Oscar awake, but Xiao Wu had also arrived. Seeing that Tang San looked normal, Xiao Wu immediately showed a relieved expression.

Oscar smiled wryly, "Little San, I'm really suffering now that you're injured. As soon as Xiao Wu came in, she shook me awake, asking where you'd been. Doesn't she know you go out to cultivate every morning?"

Xiao Wu blushed slightly. "What do you know? This is called being too concerned to think clearly. Brother, are you completely alright now?"

Tang San nodded and said, "It's all done."

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Then let's go have breakfast together. Uncle Big Sausage, you can continue your cultivation."

Oscar said irritably, "What's the point of cultivating? I'm going to eat with you guys. Oh, by the way, Little Three, I heard you took down a level 58 Soul King yesterday? That's incredible!"

Tang San smiled and said, "It's not as easy as you think. First of all, my opponent was careless and didn't take me seriously. Luck played a big part in my victory. He was a full-strength Soul Master, which was countered by my control-type Soul Master. Even so, I only managed to gain the upper hand by using poison and the Eight Spider Lances. If it happened again, I'm almost certain I wouldn't be his match. The power of hidden weapons mainly lies in their surprise. If the opponent is prepared, and there's a twenty-level difference in Soul Power, I have no chance at all."

Oscar chuckled and said, "No matter what, you won this time. You've really brought glory to the Shrek Seven Devils. Once we win another championship at that Advanced Academy Tournament, the Shrek Seven Devils will probably become one of the most famous Soul Master groups on the entire continent. We need to work hard too. With your magic herb, I think we all have a chance to reach level 40 in the six months before the competition. Let's go eat."

The rare medicinal herbs provided the Shrek Seven Devils with an unparalleled opportunity. They were already geniuses, and with the assistance of these treasures of heaven and earth, they were already an unsurpassable existence among their peers.

The three walked out of the dormitory. As they walked, Tang San said, "That Advanced Soul Master Tournament probably won't be that easy. Although our strength is already quite good, we'll be dealing with Soul Masters under the age of twenty-five. Who knows how many geniuses are on the continent? Not to mention anything else, the Royal Fighting Team alone is about as strong as us. By the time of the competition, they'll probably all be around level forty. This time, they probably won't give us a chance to ambush them again. As long as Yu Tianheng and those two Xuanwu Turtle Soul Masters unleash their full power, they'll be very difficult to deal with."
