Chapter 40: Becoming a God at Level 100?
The next day, Tang San went to Mo Bai's dormitory again to ask about the limits of Soul Ring ages.
Mo Bai revealed the reason without any hesitation, "Soul Rings under ten thousand years can all have their absorption limit increased by improving your Physique. This improvement in Physique can be reflected in physical strength, recovery ability, and other aspects."
"Physical strength?" Tang San looked at Mo Bai with a puzzled gaze.
Brother Mo Bai's Martial Soul did not have any ability to enhance physical strength, and his combat power was pitifully low, so it was more likely an improvement in recovery ability.
For example, there was Sister A Yin, a Soul Saint... He had personally experienced Sister A Yin's ability to heal and restore Soul Power. With Sister A Yin's assistance, this made sense.
Mo Bai noticed Tang San's expression, smiled silently, and continued, "After ten thousand years, you need to layer your Physique and Spiritual Power together to absorb Soul Rings with higher limits. To sum it up, there is no so-called limit on age, only the absorption state of your own body's limit."
Tang San nodded thoughtfully. If that was true, his Tang Sect unique skills included methods for training the body—the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track for the legs and the Mysterious Jade Hand for the hands.
These all helped to a certain extent in improving the body.
Could he also attempt to absorb a Soul Ring that broke the limit? It remained to be seen; he could wait and observe for now! In any case, it would be soon.
Tang San's gaze couldn't help but fall on Xiao Wu, who was cultivating diligently beside him. He heard from Brother Mo Bai that Xiao Wu was about to break through to a level 20 Great Soul Master.
If Brother Mo Bai's theory was correct, given the relationship between Brother Mo Bai and Xiao Wu, he would definitely apply it to Xiao Wu first. When the time came, he could make his own plans based on Xiao Wu's situation.
Besides, was this the true cultivation speed of an Innate full soul power? It was somewhat overwhelming.
Tang San withdrew his envious gaze and sighed inwardly. With the boost from the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he was only just barely able to catch a glimpse of their backs.
If his Martial Soul wasn't the ordinary Blue Silver Grass, perhaps he could keep up with Xiao Wu and Brother Mo Bai. Unfortunately...
Recently, there had been very little news about the Goddess of the Moon in Notting City.
No, if there was no news, did that mean...?!
Tang San's pupils shrank slightly. He remembered Brother Mo Bai telling him that his purpose in coming here was precisely because of the Goddess of the Moon.
Although he didn't know the specific situation, based on this Karma, did it mean Brother Mo Bai was really going to leave?
Tang San reluctantly looked up at Brother Mo Bai's familiar face. He wanted to speak, but the words wouldn't come out.
What excuse or request did he have to ask Brother Mo Bai to stay? Brother Mo Bai was a Genius who exceeded Innate full soul power; wouldn't asking him to stay be equivalent to harming him?
Would he also have the chance to witness Brother Mo Bai's theory? The question in Tang San's heart remained unasked until he left.
Mo Bai watched Tang San's departing back and smiled slightly. He didn't know and didn't need to know what Tang San was thinking or guessing; in time, Tang San would ask of his own accord.
The Soul Ring Tang San saw was not something he had fabricated. His current Spiritual Power, with the support of the Meditation Technique, Soul Bone, and medicinal herbs, had reached a certain level.
When condensing a Soul Ring, he didn't need to worry about Spiritual Power. With the support of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone, his Soul Power and recovery ability were not weak. Even though his physical strength wasn't high, he still managed to condense a Soul Ring that exceeded the limit on his own.
Of course, this was just a small interlude. The result would only lead to two situations: his trust with Tang San would deepen, and Tang San's trust with Yu Xiaogang would stagnate. It was beneficial and harmless.
This was also a trust patch he laid down for Tang San before he left. Furthermore, by causing Tang San to scrutinize Yu Xiaogang, thereby increasing Tang San's exploration of knowledge beyond what Yu Xiaogang taught, and by hinting to Yu Xiaogang—he could lead to the topic of "Gods"!
The term "Becoming a God at Level 100" was not a legend, but the truth. Tang San, you should also imagine how "good" I have been to you.
Time passed leisurely, and night fell.
Tang San had finished his learning session with Yu Xiaogang for the day, but having recalled today that Brother Mo Bai and the others were truly going to leave, he had been somewhat distracted all day.
They came because of the Goddess of the Moon, and left because of the Goddess of the Moon. What exactly was a God? Did they really exist?
Tang San was lost in thought once again.
Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San's head and said warmly, "If you have any questions, you can say them out loud. Teacher will do his best to answer them for you."
Tang San looked up at Yu Xiaogang's confident face. Although his teacher was indeed unsatisfactory in some respects, his abundant knowledge might really be able to answer his questions.
"Teacher, do you know the reason why Brother Mo Bai came to Notting City?"
As soon as the words fell, one question led to three more.
Yu Xiaogang's expression froze for a moment, then he fell into deep thought. He hadn't thought about this question for a long time since meeting Little San. Previously, he had only assumed that it was a disciple from some Family who envied his fame and was playing a prank on him.
Now that he thought about it carefully, why did Mo Bai come to this small Notting City for no reason? An Innate full soul power with a secondary Awakening would not be allowed to fool around by any Family.
The reason couldn't just be to tease a famous person; there must be other reasons. After all, this was three years of cultivation time for an Innate full soul power, and during childhood, the situation was especially critical.
But why?
Yu Xiaogang frowned and pondered for a while. Everything in Notting Academy flashed through his mind, as well as the scene when Mo Bai first arrived.
At that time, Notting City didn't have anything of value, except for himself. Even Little San and Xiao Wu only arrived a year later, so it shouldn't have been them.
But excluding these points, what other value did Notting City have? Remote? Unnoticeable?
Just like his own purpose back then, he was here to escape, and Mo Bai... Could it be that Mo Bai's Family encountered some crisis, and that was why they sent him here to take refuge?
So the guards sent at the beginning weren't strong, but was there still a crisis now? Soul Kings and Soul Saints were being sent over one by one.
If there was a crisis just as he guessed, then the crisis had been resolved. Did this mean Mo Bai was going to leave?!
A hint of joy arose in Yu Xiaogang's heart. But when his eyes fell on Tang San's face, his expression stiffened slightly. Why would Little San ask such a question? Could it be that Mo Bai wanted to take Little San, this Innate full soul power, away?
As someone who once belonged to a great Family, being recruited when one possessed potential was a very common occurrence. But this... no! This was absolutely impossible!!! Little San was his!!!
Tang San met Yu Xiaogang's gaze, which was sometimes uncertain and sometimes resolute. He always felt that his teacher had misunderstood something. Feeling helpless, he could only try to remind him by saying, "Teacher, do you know about Gods?"
"Gods?"
