Half a minute later.
Tan Xiu checked 28's pulse and figured out his physical condition. What puzzled him was that although 28's physique was good, it was far from being amazing. Yet, in less than a year, he had leaped from a precarious child to a cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. This speed was way too fast.
"Tell me, is there anything special about your usual cultivation?"
"There's nothing special about it," said 28. "I just follow the cultivation method taught by the instructor and constantly circulate the True Essence inside my body every day. I don't know why my cultivation speed is faster than others."
Tan Xiu was even more surprised and asked, "That's it?"
"That's it." 28 nodded.
Tan Xiu secretly shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes. He hurriedly asked, "You just said that you constantly circulate the True Essence inside your body every day? Is there no time for you to stop? "
"Yeah!" 28 nodded. "Isn't cultivation supposed to be like this?"
Tan Xiu grabbed 28's wrist again. As his spiritual sense entered his body, Tan Xiu finally found something unusual about him. His meridians were very wide, but what shocked him the most was that 28's meridian wall was somewhat different from that of ordinary people. It was much more flexible, and there were even tiny blood-colored red spots faintly visible on it.
"Blood Scripture?
He actually has a Blood Scripture? "
Tan Xiu was so shocked by this discovery that he was speechless for a long time. When he was in the Immortal World, he once read a record in a hidden ancient book. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a peerless genius with a Blood Scripture Physique appeared in the Immortal World. That genius only took more than 2,000 years to successfully cultivate to the Perfected Golden Immortal Stage. It was a pity that he died in the hands of a Supreme. Otherwise, he would have been able to break through to the Supremacy Stage in another 1,000 years with his potential. Even that ancient book recorded that if that peerless genius did not die prematurely, he would have been the most promising one to break through to the Godhood Stage at that time.
And before his eyes …
Another cultivation genius with a Blood Scripture Physique appeared? What was even more inconceivable was that he actually appeared on Earth?
"Boss, I …"
28 didn't understand why Tang Xiu kept grabbing his wrist and didn't loosen his grip, but he didn't feel any malice coming from Tang Xiu. Ever since he was found in the garbage dump a year ago and sent to Shanghai, he had seen his boss, Tan Xiu, in front of him.
He didn't understand why Tan Xiu wanted to adopt him and so many other children. But he understood one thing. It was Tan Xiu who gave him food, drink, clothes, and use. Most importantly, Tan Xiu sent people to teach them cultivation techniques, allowing them to possess great power.
Therefore …
Like tens of thousands of other children, he treated Tan Xiu as their boss on the surface, but in his heart, he treated Tan Xiu as his family, or even the closest person to him. Like the other children, he was willing to be loyal to Tan Xiu and give everything to Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu raised his hand to interrupt 28. After releasing his hand, he solemnly asked, "28, I'm going to give you a surname. Do you want it?"
A surname?
28's eyes lit up and he nodded. "I do."
"If so, then you'll be called Tang 28 from now on," said Tan Xiu.
28 was excited. He knew that some of the children who trained with him were given surnames by the Boss, such as Jin, Mu, Shui, Huo, and Tu. The five of them were named Tang Jin, Tang Mu, Tang Shui, Tang Huo, and Tang Tu respectively. Now, he also had a surname, which was Tang after his Boss's surname.
"Alright. I'm already called Tang 28. "
Tan Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tang 28, do you want to be different from others? Do you want to have a higher cultivation and more powerful strength in the future? "
"I do," said Tang 28 aloud. "Only by becoming stronger can I have enough to eat, have a place to live, have clothes to wear, and be able to protect you, Boss."
A smile outlined on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth. He secretly admired the brainwashing methods of the drill instructors. It only took him a year or so to make these children remember his figure in their hearts.
"Tang 28. From now on, you'll leave the training camp and be Tan Xiu's shadow! I'll give you the authority to pick four companions from the training camp and have them follow you at all times, listening to your commands at all times. Go! I hope you can bring your chosen partners and wait for my return here a few days later. "
"I'll be waiting for you, Boss." Tang 28 firmly nodded.
"Remember, don't call me Boss from now on. You must call me Sect Master," said Tan Xiu. "I'll send someone to record your name in the Tang Sect's register. You'll also be a new disciple of the Tang Sect. "
"Tang Sect?"
Tang 28 silently engraved the name in his heart and nodded.
Shortly after …
Two helicopters roared and flew toward the 9th deserted island. After an hour or two of flight, they arrived at the 9th deserted island. At this time, some people were already stationed on the 9th deserted island. The number of people was not big, but there were still more than 20 of them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Figures flickered lightning-fast from the two helicopters' hatches and quickly landed on the 9th deserted island. Old Anji and Chen Yan were among the more than 20 people who had been waiting for a long time. Most of them were felons rescued by Tan Xiu from labor camp No. 1319, and only a few of them were former peripheral members of the Everlasting Feast Hall.
"Boss!"
They were in a neat formation with a somber atmosphere. Upon seeing Tan Xiu's arrival, more than 20 people immediately looked fanatical and shouted loudly.
Tan Xiu looked at the people in front of him and was secretly satisfied, especially the nearly 20 felons he had rescued from labor camp No. 1319. The current them were as though they had been reborn. Their previous undisciplined personalities were nowhere to be seen, and they exuded the aura of iron-blooded warriors.
"Greetings, everyone."
Tan Xiu glanced at each of them and finally nodded. "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've all grown a lot. What surprises me the most is that each of you has stepped into the threshold of being a cultivator and become experts at the Qi Refining Stage. Tell me, do you regret the choice you made? "
"No, I don't!"
More than 20 people roared in unison.
"Very well." Tan Xiu nodded and said, "Since you don't regret it, then I hope you won't regret it later. We're about to face powerhouses from major forces all over the world. Many of them are powerhouses among powerhouses, even comparable to Golden Core Stage powerhouses. You'll be participating in the battle. I want to know, are you afraid? "
"No!"
More than 20 people roared again.
"Very well." Tan Xiu nodded and said, "Since you're not afraid, then seize the time to cultivate and get ready for the battle! If any of you can make great contributions in the upcoming battle, you can join the Tang Sect as long as your cultivation breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. I think you've heard the name of the Tang Sect in the last two days. "
"That's great!"
"I've heard of it."
"It's an opportunity!"
More than 20 people looked pleasantly surprised and a fighting flame burned in their eyes. If they wanted to become stronger and go further, they must strive to become disciples of the Tang Sect. This was something they had figured out in the last two days. As long as they became disciples of the Tang Sect, they would be able to obtain more cultivation resources, learn more cultivation secret manuals, and master more abilities.
This was an opportunity.
It was just like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. As long as they could get a lot of contributions and break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was tantamount to success.
"I still have some things to deal with, so you can go," said Tan Xiu.
Shortly after …
Tan Xiu spent a lot of materials to cover the entire 9th barren island. In fact, he even set up an Illusory Formation inside the island's protective formation. Anyone who could break the outer layer of the island's protective array would see the illusion array. Once they entered it, it would be equivalent to entering an illusion.
The 9th barren island.
It was the place that replaced the Nine Dragons Island and was about to be exposed to the eyes of the major forces. It was also the main battlefield. After arranging everything, Tan Xiu didn't hurry to leave. Instead, he issued an order for a large number of peripheral members to come and participate in the upcoming battle.
"What's the date today, Awen?"
Standing on the coastline of the 9th barren island, Tan Xiu suddenly asked.
"Today is the 4th of September, Sect Master," answered Mo Awen.
The 4th of September?
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment before a wry smile appeared on his face. On this date, Shanghai University had already started its semester, and he skipped classes at the beginning of his sophomore year.
"I gotta go back as soon as possible."
Tan Xiu recalled the Violet Fairy in his interspatial ring and Han Qingwu. He also needed to use the Violet Fairy to verify it because he was very concerned about the result of the verification.
Whoosh …
A figure flickered lightning-fast from the distant sea and soon stood in front of Tan Xiu and Mo Awen. It was none other than Spectre.
"I have something to report, Boss."
"What's the matter?" asked Tan Xiu.
"A liner has been wandering in the nearby sea recently," said Spectre. "To our surprise, there's no one outside the liner. It's as if there's no one on the entire liner. I sneaked to the surface and found that there were only a dozen crew members on the liner. But when I asked the crew, they said that there's a guest on the liner who rented the ship and asked them to come here. It's strange that we couldn't find any trace of her when we searched together. "
"You didn't ask who she is?" asked Tan Xiu with a frown.
"I only know that she's a woman in her twenties or thirties," said Spectre with a wry smile. "She always wears a black robe and a mask on her face, so the crew members don't know what she looks like. That's right, this woman is proficient in music. She played several musical instruments while drifting on the sea. The music she plays is very beautiful. "
Proficient in music?
Tan Xiu's expression slightly changed. He suddenly recalled the time when he fought with Death Dhyana Buddhist Master in Bangkok in T Country. There was an expert who was proficient in music. She never showed up, and the people he sent to look for her didn't find her either.
Could it be …
Was the mysterious woman on the liner the same person who helped him in Bangkok in T Country? If not, then she might just be a bit mysterious. But if she was, then who was she? How could she appear and disappear so mysteriously and always appear in the vicinity of his place?
"Where's that liner now?" asked Tan Xiu in a deep voice.
"It's only about 100 nautical miles away from the 9th barren island," said Spectre. "But that liner has been sailing aimlessly in the nearby sea for a long time. It's estimated that it's time to return."
"Take me to that liner," said Tan Xiu in a deep voice. "I wanna figure out who's playing tricks on us."
