Chapter 61 - Titled Douluo Level Training(4) (1/2)
He estimates that he would be able to live for 10,000 years if he reaches the limit douluo rank instead of the normal 1,000 years. He saw that his second hidden meridian had opened, this shocked him more than finding his lifespan.
Hidden Meridians were something that could only be opened by a fortuitous encounter, even if one was able to discover his or her hidden meridians they would not be able to open it even if they used an immortal herb, that's how difficult and powerful hidden meridians were, if anyone opened all three of their hidden meridians then their cultivation speed would increase by 10 to 20 times, this was a huge difference, if an ordinary spirit master was able to open all three of his hidden meridians then his cultivation speed wouldn't be any worse of than the current Shrek Seven Devils.
Tang San now had only one hidden meridian left to open, he was really ecstatic of his current situation, of course he would also spend his entire life by not being able to open it but compared to anyone else he had a higher chance to do so and the main reason for that was his [Forbidden Heaven Technique], the Transparent White Qi which it produced was something which was capable of opening even the hidden meridians just like how the White Qi from the [Mysterious Heaven Technique] was able to open a persons Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
It had been 9 days since he had started to absorb the Blessing of the Goddess of Life, his father and the other two should be coming back by now. They had now spent 3 and half months training with his father and due to him opening his two hidden meridians his cultivation and his cultivation speed have now improved, he was now a Rank - 56 Spirit King, a total 6 ranks improved due to all that had happened this one week, he was sure that by the start of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament he would be able to reach the Spirit Emperor Rank or at worst he would be able to do so after the qualifiers or before the ranking tournament.
If any other spirit master heard this they would be scared out of their pants, 6 ranks in less than two weeks, though it was mainly due to external factors like his second awakening, hundred thousand year condensed ring, training with his father a titled douluo and mainly the Blessing of the Goddess of Life, it was still enough to make any spirit master envious.
He continued to cultivate while waiting for the three of them and after four days did they come back, but looking at them he was shocked, Oscar, Ma Hongjin had a few red scorched marks on their bodies while even his father didn't look that well off. He guessed that it must have caused when Ma Hongjin was obtaining his fifth spirit ring, they were surely wounds caused by a fire type spirit beast.
”Dad! Hongjin! Oscar! What happened!!!”
”Xiao San, don't worry about it, these are just small wounds they will heal within a few days. I got slightly careless by that fire beast if not how would it harm me, your friends are also fine they only have slight burns which will heal within a week at most with their current cultivation”
Tang San who examined Oscar and Ma Hongjin's wounds also concluded the same thing so he was slightly relieved at their condition but when he examined his father's condition he was shocked to find the amount of injury it had sustained. These injuries looked quite old and not something that would be caused recently he was sure that it was due to the spirit hall when they had attacked his father and mother.
He sat behind him and while circulating the [Forbidden Heaven Technique] he tried to heal him, Tang Hao felt a warm feeling spread through his body, this warm feeling made him feel quite good, it also slightly improved his inner organs which were badly damaged but it was still unable to heal them.
Tang Hao who saw that was slightly surprised but he didn't have too high of an expectation from anything, his condition was something which could not even recover with the help of a Healing Titled Douluo how was Tang San who was a Spirit King heal him??
”Tang San, leave it be these injuries are quite old, I know my body its almost impossible to heal them”
Tang San also stopped using his [Forbidden Heaven Technique] when it showed no more improvement to his father's condition, he knew how to heal him due to his experience as an 8 - rank doctor but the cultivation difference between the two was too great to heal him with just that much, even him slightly healing was already great enough given his current cultivation so he stopped trying any further for now.
”Dad…. these injuries….”
”These are something I had received long back you shouldn't worry about it too much, I've already taken revenge against those who did this to me with these injuries….”
”Dad if these injuries are left as they are then…”
Tang Hao just glared back at Tang San and said,
”Then what?? I'll at most die, there isn't anything else I can do, Ah Yin is already dead and I'm….”
”Dad how can you say that!! You still have me to live for, don't you want to see me grow up?? Don't you want to see me get married and give you a lot of grandkids?? Even if you don't want to, I want you to!!”
Hearing that Tang Hao just had a slight smile on his face and hugged his son and said,
”These injuries are already too old to treat, even a Healing Douluo had given up on me so don't bother about it anymore”
Tang San then got away from his hug and said in a firm tone while looking at him,
”Even a healing douluo can only treat the symptoms and not the cause, I can treat your injuries, though I can't completely heal them now I can do so in the future, I'm a doctor too, you've seen how I was able to heal a part of your injuries already”
”You can heal my injuries??”
”If I can reach the Spirit Saint Rank then I can surely heal these injuries”
Tang Hao was a little wide-eyed at what his son had just said but quickly got over that and went to rest.
Tang San took out some ointment from his space ring and started to apply it onto Ma Hongjin and Oscar, with this they would be able to heal by 3 - 4 days and no scar would remain after.
For the next few days, he took charge of most of the chores, like cooking and taking care of Oscar and Ma Hongjin while his father hunted a few wild beasts for them to cook and eat.
After three days the two of them were completely healed and told him what happened, apparently while they were sure to kill the Spirit Beast which was going to be Ma Hongjin's 5th ring it launched a suicide attack but was blocked by his father at the last moment and Hongjin was able to completely finish it off at the last second and gain its spirit ring. After he finished absorbing the ring he got the Phoenix Asteroid Shower ability which was an ultra-powered ultra wide-range ability it was also a 30,000-year ring so it was quite high compared to the normal spirit ring configuration.
Oscar, on the other hand, followed Tang San's advice and tried to obtain an ability which would focus on him than others and had gained the Limit Surpassing Sausage which gave him the ability to decrease his spirit power consumption by 10% and increase his spirit power by 30%. If used by others it would only give them a 10% decrease in spirit power consumption, this was a 25,000+ year spirit ring. It was due to him being a food type spirit master that he was not able to absorb a ring with high cultivation like Ma Hongjin but a 25,000-year ring was already quite nice and as his fifth ring, it was even nicer.
They both thanked Tang San in their hearts for giving them this boost, if he hadn't given them the immortal herb then they would not be able to gain something as huge as this. In fact, none of the Shrek's Seven Devils knew of Tang San giving them Ten Thousand Year Herbs in the form of medical baths to help them gain even more and kept it a secret from them. If he did then they would even worship him for that.
