Chapter 54 - Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud

Shrek Academy,

Tang San and Ma Hongjin had come back from the auction and Ma Hongjin had taken Xiao Mao to Dean Flender to explain about her situation, while Tang San went straight back into his room.

'Brother Daydream, Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Jin'er and Ice Phoenix' (Tang San)

'What's up Tang San, why are you disturbing my sleep??' (Daydream)

'Unlike you who annoys me at least Tang San doesn't call for us unless its an important matter so you should learn from him a little, but what's going on to call us this late in the night??' (Ice Empress)

'Waa, darling finally called for me and he called me Jin'er!! I'm so happy right now' (Golden Empress)

'.....' (Snow Empress)

'Did something important come up??' (Ice Phoenix)

'I've found something, something really important' (Tang San)

He then took out the black box from his Twenty Four Moonlight Bridges and placed it on the table. When the others saw what it was they were confused at first as they didn't know what that black box was.

'It looks like an ordinary black box to me, is there something special about this??' (Daydream)

'It's not the box that's important it's the thing inside it' (Tang San)

Saying that he opened up the box and the entire room was filled up with a blue light. He took out the blue pyramid crystal out of the box and kept it on the table.

'What is this??' (Daydream)

'I sense a boundless amount of power coming from this crystal' (Ice Empress)

'This…. This looks like an inheritance item, though I'm not even sure what its functions are and which god it belongs to it looks like it belongs to a god who's at least of the 1st Class, he may even be a God-King but I'm not sure. He should probably be a new god' (Ice Phoenix)

'It belongs to the Sea God, I think he's a First Class God but not too far away from the God-King Rank. It's called the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud' (Tang San)

'What is the function of this item??' (Snow Empress)

'This is a spirit tool of sorts, if I can make it recognize me as its owner then I can take the Sea God's Trials to obtain his position' (Tang San)

'Wait, obtain his position??' (Daydream)

'This is an item which can help me achieve the hundredth rank in other words if I can successfully pass the trial then I can become a God' (Tang San)

'Where did you get this from??' (Ice Phoenix)

'I bought it from an auction, the auction house thought that this was just a spirit tool which can emit light and help one achieve a calm atmosphere to cultivate' (Tang San)

'It's like putting pearls in front of a swine' (Ice Empress)

'So how do you use this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud??' (Daydream)

'I'm supposed to use my Spiritual Power and see if it reacts to that, hopefully, it does' (Tang San)

He then inserted a very minute amount of his Spiritual Power into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but it was soon repelled by the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and he was able to sense the boundless amounts of Spiritual Power in it, when he stopped using his Spiritual Power, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud flew straight to his head, it then drilled a hole onto his head, he was unable to use any of his powers he couldn't call out his spirits, he was unable to use his spirit bones and he was even unable to use his Spirit Power or Spiritual Power. But when the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud drilled onto his head his Golden Trident Crown External Bone was released, the crown underwent slight changes where the shape of the trident was slightly reshaped, to be more specific the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud reshaped it, though it was still a golden trident it the shape had changed quite significantly.

After that, it continued to drill a hole into his forehead which also left a small hole in the crown external bone which seemed perfect to fit a small jewel into after finally drilling through his skin a large amount of blood was released onto the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

"I don't know how long it's been before I could finally find someone with such tasty blood. At last, I've found a physique that can endure the vast sea force, though still young it shows great potential for growth"

Saying that the faint image transformed back into blue light and went back into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the Shroud also stopped drilling into his forehead and fell back into his arm, it didn't emit light anymore and its center now had a deep red color.

It was almost night by the time Tang San had woken up he unconsciously touched his forehead to check what happened to the wound, but when he touched his forehead the wound which was drilled by the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had disappeared.

He then saw the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in his hand and let out a small smile, he knew that he was able to gain its acknowledgment and as long as he goes to the Sea God's Island he can take the Sea God's Nine Trials to become the next Sea God, he then sat and meditated for some time to make sure that his Spirit Power is restored to full. He then took the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud into his hand and poured all of his Spirit Power into it, this was the last step with which he would be able to bind the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to himself and no one else would be able to use it anymore.

His Spirit power was completely drained before it was satisfied, after all of his spirit power was consumed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud released a blue light into his body, this light went through his whole body and a whole lot of information was being transmitted into his mind through a spiritual link.

The scene before his eyes changed, and Tang San's soul and consciousness were both submerged in a fantastic world: an endless jade ocean and a blue sky. Below his feet was the surging sea, and above his head was a cloudless blue sky. That kind of feeling penetrating his body and mind produced in him an endless thirst.

The methods to use the Vast Sea Shroud was all being transmitted into his head via the spiritual link.

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud along with Tang San were lifted into the air and blue light from the Shroud was being sent into Tang San's body, as time passed by the light being transferred became more and more intense. The light in his body was mainly intense on his head, forehead, c_h_e_s_t, back and left arm the five locations where he had Spirit Bones.

The blue light had completely covered Tang San and he now looked like he was emitting the blue light.

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud now floated in the air while Tang San slowly came down, he opened his eyes and saw that an entire night had passed by. The blue light in his eyes had intensified a little and a blue triangle formed between Tang San's eyebrows, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud also emitted light which slowly expanding it then covered his whole body, this was the first method of using the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the Vast Sea Protective Barrier.

He then released the Vast Sea Shroud and it returned to its original size and continued to float in front of him. It had a total of four moves - Vast Sea Protective Barrier, Cosmic Stasis Barrier, Vast Sea Wild Wave and Cosmic Magic Breaker.

With these four abilities he can hunt spirit beasts much easier than before, he was quite worried about hunting spirit beasts before, because for most of his other spirit rings he had sufficient information on the spirit beast and was able to use outside forces to help him kill it but now he would have no information on them and he would have to rely only on his own power to win against any spirit beast he would face.

Using the Golden Trident would work as a final resort but for this trip, he had decided to not use the Golden Trident no matter what, if he always relies on it then he would never be able to grow stronger and only under proper pressure would he be able to improve his power.
