Tang Wulin had not noticed this feeling after his battle with Gale Saber Demon, Sima Jinchi. But he began to feel that something different ever since the battle with Bubble King yesterday.
It seemed like the Golden Dragon Spear was silently undergoing a transformation as well. It was still difficult for him to notice this transformation in the beginning. He only felt that something was different with Golden Dragon Spear. On the other hand, when his entire being calmed down after his forging work he managed to discover the distinctness within it.
The Golden Dragon Spear became even sharper now. In simpler words, it was apparent that the Dragon Slaying Saber vastly benefited after the stimulation from Golden Dragon Spear during the battle with Gale Saber Demon. But what about the Golden Dragon Spear? What did it acquire?
Tang Wulin sensed quietly for a moment before he slowly understood that the Dragon Slaying Saber was acting like a grindstone to Golden Dragon Spear. Every collision between these two weapons made Golden Dragon Spear even sharper and it could even be described as the spear's radiance being revealed to its full extent.
He was capable of penetrating Bubble King's strongest defense not only because he used Golden Dragon Tremor Burst at the time, but it was also due to the Golden Dragon Spear being sharper than before.
It felt like the Golden Dragon Spear was sharpened during the process. It was so sharp that it made one tremble. Even the coordination between his spear's consciousness and Golden Dragon Spear became even more perfect as if both sides were thoroughly acquainted with one another now.
So it turned out that Dragon Slaying Saber was capable of benefiting Golden Dragon Spear in such a manner. Moreover, Tang Wulin could feel that Golden Dragon Spear managed to promote Dragon Slaying Saber as well. The mutual benefiting situation naturally resulted in Tang Wulin having a good impression of Sima Jinchi. If he could have the opportunity he truly wished to meet Sima Jinchi in real life.
Golden Dragon Spear was truly a divine weapon! It was simply a once in a blue moon opportunity for the Golden Dragon Spear to promote another divine weapon! What a waste that Gale Saber Demon was in Southern Army Corps at the moment. Southern Army Corps was located far away, so Tang Wulin did not have the time to pay a visit to this person within such a short period of time.
By the time the competition ended, Tang Wulin would apply for a leave of absence from Blood One and if he had adequate time he would take Gu Yue for a trip to Southern Army Corps. He would also like to see how Zhengyu and Xiaoyan were doing there as well.
'No!' Tang Wulin's entire body shook all of a sudden.
'Golden Dragon Spear came into contact with Dragon Slaying Saber in Star Dou Battle Network's competition. It's impossible to take anything except actual combat experience out of Star Dou Battle Network so how did Golden Dragon Spear manage to be sharpened by the Dragon Slaying Saber? This doesn't make sense!'
Tang Wulin could not help but frown deeply when he thought of this. There was no doubt that Dragon Slaying Saber's presence made him discover some of the profound mysteries of Golden Dragon Spear. On the other hand, these profound mysteries could very possibly be related to how Tang Wulin could make Golden Dragon Spear more powerful in the future.
In other words, Golden Dragon Spear was supposed to be a part of Tang Wulin's ability. Moreover, it was an extremely powerful part of it. If Tang Wulin was described as Golden Dragon King, then Golden Dragon Spear was considered the Golden Dragon King's fangs.
There was no doubt that the sharper the fangs were, the more terrifying was Golden Dragon King's attacking ability.
Yet, how did Dragon Slaying Saber actually stimulate the sharpening of Golden Dragon Spear?
Yes, Tang Wulin could already conclude that Golden Dragon Spear was not sharpened through the grinding process rather it sharpened on its own after being stimulated by Dragon Slaying Saber. As for the specific details of this event, Tang Wulin had no idea.
Regardless, it seemed like Tang Wulin would need to figure out a way to meet Sima Jinchi. If his Dragon Slaying Saber was a divine weapon too, then when these two great divine weapons come into contact with one another in real life Tang Wulin could certainly figure out what happened.
Tang Wulin stopped his pondering and turned on the soul screen in his room. He rarely turned on the soul screen on usual days. As the Blood Nine, his living quarters appeared plain yet all his equipment in the room were the best in reality. He browsed through the channels and soon found what he was looking for.
The screen displayed a huge coliseum followed by the countdown of five, four, three, two, one.
There was no doubt that Tang Wulin was more than familiar with all of this. He was watching one of the competitions in the Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge.
On the screen, two people stood facing each other as they gazed at their opponent ahead.
One of them was tall and huge with an unusually bulky figure. Even though Star Dou Battle Network's rules restricted a person's appearance to be seen, one could still clearly see the terrifying muscles that bulged over his entire body. This person's figure was definitely a rarely seen one as compared to ordinary people. His height exceeded two point five meters and the width of his shoulders was at least twice of an ordinary person. His arms were barren and thus revealed muscles that could only be described as terrifying. The blood vessels on those muscles appeared so outrageous that they were akin to snakes on his skin.
Following the announcement for the start of the competition, he clenched his fists by his sides while his arms shook outward strenuously. At once, an intense tremor burst from his body.
"Boom!"
His body size rapidly doubled. Soon after that, a layer of bright red color emerged on the surface of his body. The bright red was not the color of flames but was more similar to the ]color of fresh blood. The bright red color made him appear unusually terrifying. A layer of densely-arranged striation had also appeared on his bright red skin.
When he saw these striations, Tang Wulin could not help squinting his eyes while golden radiance flashed through them.
It was the Body Sect's Secret Technique!
He was right. He could tell by one glance that the powerhouse with the incomparably burly figure was using the ability based on one of Body Sect's secret techniques.
How could he not recognize that when he was the successor to Body Sect's current Sect Master.
The secret technique was extremely domineering and one would need to soak in an elixir made of countless heaven and earth treasures. From the moment the person was born he would need to soak in the elixir for ten years.
One should never assume that soaking in heaven and earth treasures was a comfortable experience. On the contrary, when soaking in the elixir made of heaven and earth treasures one would need to endure unimaginable amount of pain beyond the ordinary human level.
Moreover, one would need to endure it since infant time so the pain one suffered during the process was not something that could be imagined.
This particular Body Secret Technique was known as Innate Body Refinement. It was much more powerful than the method which Tang Wulin adopted.
Tang Wulin's innate quality had already taken form so Mu Ye chose to use the most difficult form of Acquired Secret Technique on Tang Wulin. It would also result in great advancement over one's body but this was still way different as compared to the Innate Secret Technique.
Not only was the Innate Secret Technique an agony, but it was also very exhausting to use. Even a powerful sect like the Body Sect found it extremely hard to sustain the practice as they could only accumulate a batch of heaven and earth treasures used for Innate Secret Technique once every few centuries. On the other hand, if the chosen infant's body was incapable of withstanding the Secret Technique's process or the infant's willpower was weak, then the Secret Technique would fail. The child cultivating the secret technique would die as a result and all the elixir would go wasted.
Such an Innate Secret Technique was precisely the reason why Body Sect was degrading continuously over the years.
For the past four centuries, no one had managed to successfully cultivate using the Innate Secret Technique until this person from this generation. The person whom Tang Wulin was watching in the recording had finally succeeded.
Tang Wulin's senior disciple brother whom he had never met before. He was also Mu Ye's disciple and had cultivated Body Sect's Innate Secret Technique since a young age so the sect had great expectations of him. Almost the entire sect was anticipating for him to have some breakthrough so he could lead Body Sect back to its glory.
What a waste that with the usage of modernized equipment such as battle armor and mecha, the ability of a soul master's body was not as important as before. It was apparent that the Body Sect's wish for this person to revive the sect was not that easily achievable. However, they finally had hope.
Mu Ye once told Tang Wulin that when he first took Tang Wulin as his disciple, he was going to cultivate Tang Wulin as this senior disciple brother's substitute. In case this person was to die prematurely, Body Sect would still have a pure legacy at least.
The Innate Secret Technique required the cultivator to soak for ten years and another ten years of cultivation period simultaneously, so as the person could truly exercise control over his body. Once the person succeeded, he would automatically become the successor to Body Sect's Sect Master.
This senior disciple brother of Tang Wulin had albeit succeeded, but Tang Wulin once learned from Mu Ye that there were some issues with him. His willpower was strong enough so he succeeded while his natural endowment was perfect as well. But the only issue was that his brain development seemed to be stunned which resulted in him being foolish with deficiencies in his temperament.
Mu Ye once told Tang Wulin to look after his senior disciple brother if he were to live to wander from place to place in the future.
There was no doubt that his senior disciple brother finally succeeded at cultivating Body Sect's exceedingly rare Innate Secret Technique. He had finally finished his apprenticeship. Moreover, the ability which he had displayed was very powerful as well.
Tang Wulin attentively watched the competition on the screen. He had no choice but to watch because his senior disciple brother whose body had already swelled up to over four meters while covered in blood red bands and golden scriptures on his skin on the screen now was going to be Tang Wulin's opponent in tomorrow's finals.
Yes, Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge's final match was going to be the Body Sect's internal battle. Tang Wulin did not even have to ask, he knew that his teacher would certainly be in a very good mood at this very moment.
