Chapter 129: Integrating the Winged Tiger Transformation

After a quick cleanup of the room he hadn't returned to for a few days, Tang San finished washing up and went straight to bed.

Having cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Technique for nine days straight now, Tang San felt a warm sensation course through his body. The nourishing flow of energy naturally fostered his growth. Once he sensed his condition was stable, Tang San's spiritual power surged, slowly shifting the newly acquired Winged Tiger Transformation bloodline imprint toward the fourth-positioned Wind Wolf Transformation imprint.

The Winged Tiger Transformation was a powerful imprint. Although he only had a moment to absorb it, given that the tigress was at the peak of the seventh order, Tang San had still assimilated the imprint up to the sixth order.

However, considering the level of the Winged Tiger Transformation within the tier system, it obviously wasn't qualified to occupy the sixth position of Tang San's bloodline imprints. The best choice was to merge it directly into the Wind Wolf Transformation.

The Wind Blade and the Wind Astral, though different in power and application, shared the same origin—both wind-attribute abilities. In addition, they were not far in terms of level, with one being at the peak of the fifth order, and the other at the sixth. Once successfully merged, Tang San's mastery over the wind element would surely elevate to the sixth order. This wouldn't easily arouse suspicion, nor would he need to seek out a sixth-order Wind Wolf for devouring and absorption. It was just perfect.

Under his control, the two imprints began to merge.

As they began to make contact, Tang San distinctly felt both imprints vibrating intensely. There was a sense of mutual repulsion, as if neither wanted to merge with the other.

"What's going on? It's understandable for higher-level abilities like the Celestial Fox Vision, but why are you two fourth-tier imprints acting so haughty?"

Surprised, Tang San immediately realized a possibility. He already knew that the higher the tier of the Demonic God Transformation imprints, the stronger their exclusivity would be during the fusion process. Now, it seemed that they also became more exclusivist the higher their order was.

One at the peak of the fifth order and another at the sixth. Naturally, merging them would pose some difficulties.

However, he remained confident in the fusion. His spiritual power was now powerful enough, and he had ample time to use his liquefied spiritual power to work with these two imprints. Besides, since they were both of the wind attribute, they were essentially of the same origin, making the probability of successful fusion relatively high.

Therefore, Tang San didn't stop the fusion process; instead, he increased the pressure of his spiritual power, pushing the two imprints to blend.

A cyan-green light illuminated his dantian, and the vibrations of the two imprints grew increasingly intense.

Suddenly, from the Discerning Eye of Heaven imprint positioned in the best spot, a glowing white halo rippled out.

It was only a third-order imprint, just like the Chrono Croc Transformation and Golden Roc Transformation. But when that glowing white light appeared, the cyan light within Tang San's dantian dimmed almost instantly. Even the vibration of the two imprints grew weaker, making the fusion process smoother.

Bloodline reigns supreme!

This thought instantly surged through Tang San's mind.

The Discerning Eye of Heaven felt like an elder brother, awakened from his slumber by the younger ones and roaring in anger. The younger ones immediately became obedient, no longer daring to cause trouble.

Are these the benefits of merging with the Celestial Fox Transformation? How remarkable!

After integrating the Celestial Fox Vision into the Discerning Eye to achieve the Discerning Eye of Heaven, Tang San hadn't had the chance to test its capabilities. Now, it appeared that this first-tier bloodline ability’s effects were not limited to just impacting luck.

Du Bai’s ability seemed ineffective mainly because he only had the Celestial Fox Vision, and it was low-order to boot. He lacked the necessary physique to support the Celestial Fox bloodline

and

the spiritual power to unlock its potential fully. Moreover, the teachers had very little understanding of how to utilize the Celestial Fox Vision.

After Tang San acquired this ability, he realized its significant impact combined with his other skills. The Celestial Fox Vision, being a first-tier ability, indeed played a crucial role. No wonder it was ranked among the top three in the demonic beast hierarchy.

Tang San eagerly anticipated Du Bai's breakthrough to the fourth order. The only way for Tang San to enhance ability further was by absorbing it from Du Bai. Hence, he could only hope that Du Bai would advance more quickly, and it was mainly for this reason that he had taught Du Bai the Purple Demon Eyes.

The subsequent fusion process became smoother. The fourth-positioned green imprint's color deepened, gradually resembling a solid gemstone that flickered with light. Tang San's perception of and sensitivity to the wind element underwent a noticeable change.

Can I now directly materialize the wind element? This would eliminate the initial compression process.

Moreover, being able to use the Wind Astral would significantly compensate for Tang San's deficiencies in defense—after all, the Wind Blade was not a defensive ability by any stretch.

This new fusion imprint was undoubtedly at the sixth order, and only more powerful than either of the original ones. With his cultivation fully stabilized and his abilities integrated to his preference, this meant that Tang San had officially become a sixth-order powerhouse.

However, looking at the other four imprints within his body, they seemed somewhat pitiful in comparison. The Leopard Flash was better off at the fourth order but not yet at the fifth. The other three were all uniformly third-order. Although their bloodline tiers were high, their cultivation orders were not, and that significantly limited their effectiveness.

To further enhance his strength and push his cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique to the seventh order would take considerable time. So, the next step would be to find ways to elevate the levels of his imprints.

Another important task was to find a sixth bloodline imprint.

With each additional imprint came an extra ability, and elevating the imprints to the same level as his cultivation would undoubtedly significantly increase Tang San's strength.

Even though he had just entered the sixth order, Tang San was quite confident that demonic beasts of the same level would not be a match for him. After all, he possessed as many as five bloodline imprints.

A slight smile formed at the corner of his mouth as he gradually entered a deep meditative state. The gains from this external training were genuinely amazing!

Fortune sure favors the bold...

***

Early morning.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The loud banging at the door jolted Tang San out of his meditation. Taking a deep breath and allowing the Mysterious Heaven Technique’s energy to circulate automatically within his body, he opened his eyes.

"Who is it?"

A familiar voice came from the other side of the living room. "It's me, it's me, Little Tang, it's me! Open the door quickly, hahaha. I have some good news for you!"

Hearing this voice, Tang San's eyes lit up. He swiftly got out of bed, hurried out of the bedroom, and opened the living room door.

The familiar figure pounced on him, giving him a big hug, "Hahaha, you're all still alive, that's great, really great! I thought you were gone. This is wonderful."

He lifted Tang San and spun around in a circle.

"Okay, brother Du Bai, please put me down," Tang San said somewhat helplessly.

Indeed, the familiar voice and figure belonged to none other than Du Bai.

Du Bai finally put him down. When their eyes met, Tang San distinctly felt a surge in his sea of spirit, and his liquefied spiritual power started pulsating. The Discerning Eye of Heaven seemed to tremble slightly.

"You've advanced?" Tang San blurted out, his face filled with surprise and joy.

"Eh, I haven't said anything. How did you know? Wahaha, yes! I've advanced, finally advanced to the fourth order. My Celestial Fox Vision is now at the fourth order. Hahaha!" Du Bai was dancing with excitement.
