Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San
Chapter 16: Cultivating the Demonic God TransformationUpon returning home, Tang San first copied the characters ten times as Wang Yanfeng had instructed. After digesting what he had learned that day, he noticed that it was already time for lunch.
After lunch, Wang Yanfeng gave the five of them an hour's rest before starting the afternoon lesson, which was about the Wind Wolf Transformation.
Tang San was comparatively more interested in this subject. To regain his former strength, he needed to start by understanding the power system of this world. He could then gradually recover his former abilities. At the same time, he could integrate the unique characteristics of this world and the Mysterious Heaven Technique to strengthen himself. Only with true power could he accomplish all that he sought to do.
"You were chosen because there is a certain amount of Wind Wolf blood flowing through your veins. When your Wind Wolf bloodline is awakened, your body will change, granting you certain abilities. This is what we call the Wind Wolf Transformation. If awakened, humans with bloodlines from any demon clan will have such abilities, collectively known as the Demonic God Transformation. Cultivation means improving the power of your bloodline and strengthening your abilities.
“If you want to survive the assessment, then within three years, you must at the very least attain third-order strength by cultivating the Wind Wolf Transformation. Let me tell you this once again. This. Is. About. Survival. It’s not a game, and I am not joking. You cultivate, or you die. Just like the five who didn't pass the assessment that day."
Except for Tang San, the other four couldn't help but look fearful. All beings fear death, and they were no exception.
"To excel in the demonic god transformation, one must understand how demon clans naturally cultivate. Regardless of the specific lineage, all demons possess a unique form of energy within their blood when they are born. This energy has multiple uses; it nurtures their bodies, aids their growth, and bestows them with abilities. Even if they don't actively cultivate, their bodies naturally absorb spiritual energy from the world, and their bloodlines naturally improve as time passes. More powerful demon and nymph clans have specific cultivation methods to enhance their bloodlines, making their cultivation easier and faster. Hence, they can reach higher orders of cultivation.
"Our cultivation method is quite similar to theirs; it allows us to absorb spiritual energy from the world and circulate it through our body. Here, I have the cultivation method for the first four stages of the Wind Wolf Transformation. I will begin teaching you now. The core principle is awakening the energy within your bloodline, allowing it to generate more of this energy when stimulated and enabling you to control it. I will now teach you how to guide your Wind Wolf bloodline for cultivation."
Then, Wang Yanfeng started his instruction.
Tang San listened attentively, and he found Wang Yanfeng's explanations very straightforward. Of course, they were at a level that the Wang siblings could understand. As for Tang San and Ling Muxue's comprehension abilities, Wang Yangfeng was much less concerned.The primary method of cultivating the Wind Wolf Transformation involved stimulating the bloodline. By controlling the energy in the bloodline, the cultivator could boost their physical abilities as well as their blood itself, allowing it to absorb more and more spiritual energy from the world during the period of bloodline agitation.
According to Wang Yanfeng, places with denser spiritual energy from the heavens and earth were more conducive to enhancing bloodlines. However, it was also important not to cultivate in places with exceedingly thick spiritual energy because the body could end up unable to withstand the energy absorption. After all, the human body was quite fragile compared to the physiques of demons and nymphs. With that in mind, cultivating in Wind Wolf Town was enough for them right now.
The method of stimulating the bloodline was simple, and Tang San understood it right away. It involved guiding the Wind Wolf's power within one's body to stimulate specific acupoints. It was a very straightforward cultivation method, and compared to the Mysterious Heaven Technique, it was by far less complex.
However, no matter how straightforward this cultivation method was, Tang San couldn't learn it. The reason was simple: he didn't actually have one single drop of Wind Wolf blood. His Wind Blade ability was obtained through the absorption using the energy from the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
It was as if he had retained the energy of those wind blades within him. When he used them, the Mysterious Heaven Technique could transform his own energy into a similar type of energy, based on the imprint left by the Wind Blade bloodline ability. Still, the intensity remained the same as when he had absorbed the ability. In other words, the cultivation method of the Wind Wolf Transformation held no meaning for him. All it served to do was deepen his understanding of the world's cultivation methods and the Demonic God Transformation.
Under Wang Yanfeng's guidance, the Wang siblings quickly got the hang of stimulating their bloodlines with the help of his bloodline power.
Ling Muxue, in particular, grasped the cultivation method extremely quickly. Wang Yanfeng only needed to guide her once and she could cultivate on her own.
However, when it came to Tang San, things were different. Even before Wang Yanfeng could guide him, he was already surrounded by a shimmering green light as he activated the Wind Blade.
"You've learned it?" Wang Yanfeng was somewhat surprised as he felt the more substantial presence of wind elements around Tang San compared to the others. Strangely, though, there was no sign of any Wind Wolf transformation in his body.
"Well, yeah, you explained it very clearly. I gave it a try, and it seemed to work," Tang San said earnestly.
Wang Yanfeng looked at him with some suspicion. He had taught more than just this group of people, and he had naturally seen his share of gifted people. However, someone like Tang San, who could master the basics of the Wind Wolf Transformation cultivation without guidance, was a first for him. His innate talent was exceptional.
When he had first seen Tang San, he had sensed that this child was somewhat different, but he hadn’t been able to tell exactly what set him apart. Nevertheless, this was undoubtedly a positive sign. Even Wang Yangfeng himself, in his youth, hadn’t shown the same ability as Tang San.
In truth, Tang San most wanted to ask whether there was a bottleneck at the third cultivation order. However, he didn't want to raise this question now as it might arouse suspicion from Wang Yanfeng. He planned to conduct his own experiments first. After all, his cultivation method and the Demonic God Transformation were different.
"Very well, then continue your cultivation just like this. Try to enhance the power within your bloodline. A month from now, I will assess your cultivation progress and evaluate the strength of your abilities," Wang Yanfeng said.
"Teacher, may I ask a question?" Tang San spoke up.
"You may," Wang Yanfeng nodded.
Tang San asked, "Teacher, what's the highest order among the demons and nymphs on the Daemon Continent?"
Wang Yanfeng was taken aback. He clearly hadn't expected Tang San to ask such a question. He looked at the slender, bright-eyed, and handsome child before him and replied, "According to legends, it's the twelfth order. I cannot even begin to imagine how powerful that is. As for whether the legendary Ancestral Demons exist, and whether there are ranks beyond the twelfth, I couldn’t tell you."
Hearing his answer, Tang San couldn’t help but shiver. He immediately made up his mind about the future.
In his original world, known as the Douluo Continent, the highest level an ordinary person could reach was the equivalent of the ninth order, and beyond that were the god ranks. Assuming that this world's tenth, eleventh, and twelfth order were equivalent to the Third Class, Second Class, and First Class, respectively…it meant that the demon and nymph clans on the Daemon Continent were able, by default, to reach the level of First Class God. If that was indeed the case, the energy on the Falan Planet had to be one of the highest among all celestial bodies he had ever encountered.
If the so-called Ancestral Demons were on a higher level than the first-class gods, that naturally meant they touched upon the level of God King from his original realm. However, Tang San had yet to sense the existence of a divine realm here.
Suppose there is no divine realm at all, yet there are beings that reached the level of God Kings relying solely on this planet. That implies the energy level of this planet puts it on par with the divine realm I was in, and maybe even surpasses it…
Incredible. I have indeed come to an extraordinary place… Setting things right in a place with such high-level cultivation is going to be quite the task…
With this thought, a trace of bitter smile appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth.
There was no other way. He would have to take it one step at a time and see how things unfolded.
