The Second Inheritance

  "Where the hell am I? Am I dead?! Damn it, I haven't even gotten to flirt with Little Sister yet, this is unacceptable!" Tang Yan appeared in a place shrouded in mist and cursed.

  "You little scamp, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for over two years!" An old soul appeared in front of Tang Yan and said.

  "Damn it, are you a human or a ghost? I won't really die, will I? I'm relying on your second uncle's master!" Tang Yan saw an old man in a spiritual body and thought of being knocked unconscious by his second uncle. Maybe here, he could let out a loud curse, but in the sect, he didn't even dare to fart.

  "Hey kid, don't worry, you're not dead yet, just lightly injured and fainted!" The old soul replied after staring at Tang Yan for a while.

  "What? I'm not dead yet? Then, where am I now?" Tang Yan heard his words, looked around below, and then turned back to ask this soul body guy.

  "Haha, this is the space within the Dragon Ring on your hand. I've been waiting for you for a long time, and it's been tough on both of us, especially on you, young one!" The soul body chuckled as he gently stroked his chin whiskers, gazing at Tang Yan with a smile.

  "What's with the space in the Dragon Ring? It's really frustrating me?" Tang Yan asked, very puzzled.

  "Yes, you've suffered a lot. The two years of hard work on your internal energy have all been absorbed by me, and if you had slept in the past two years, you would have encountered me earlier!" The old man explained to Tang Yan.

  This time, Tang Yan finally understood that he wasn't a waste of his body, but rather the two years of practicing his internal energy day and night had been completely absorbed by this guy. As for why he could enter this space, the soul explained that as long as he was asleep, he could enter here, but in these two years, Tang Yan hadn't slept at all, constantly practicing bitterly.

  "I remember I slept in the forest, why didn't I enter here?" Tang Yan thought that when he first fell into this unknown world, he had been mixed up in the forest for two months and had asked a few times.

  "Haha, at that time you didn't have the power of internal energy, and you also saw it, your internal energy for these two years can only make me recover a bit of my fur, how about it, I'm not bad, right?" The old man said with a smile to Tang Yan.

  "Damn it, you've ruined all my plans to hook up with chicks! If you don't come up with a set of unbeatable divine skills for me to survive here, I'll wipe you out!" Tang Yan knew that the thing inside the dragon ring was definitely an awesome artifact, or else it wouldn't exist in a space like the Starry Universe, and at that time he also saw nine 200-meter-long giant dragons dragging this ring.

  "There is only one book in the world that can't be defeated, but whether you can master it depends on yourself!" The old man's finger lightly pointed to Tang Yan's forehead.

  At this time, Tang Yan's mind had an extra piece of information, a text that looked like a mental method floated in Tang Yan's mind, with the four big characters "Dragon Flying Phoenix Dancing" printed on the sea of his mind.

  "Dragon Devouring Technique?" Tang Yan muttered to himself.

  Next, Tang Yan closed his eyes tightly and carefully observed the so-called invincible mental method of the world. He found that the content recorded inside was to swallow the dragon soul of the divine dragon and turn it into his own power. This time, Tang Yan finally understood what was meant by: Dragon Slashing Technique. It was indeed a mental method for swallowing dragon souls.

  Upon seeing this technique, Tang Yan recalled the time when he was in that unknown space, where nine massive dragon corpses emitted a terrifying energy that wasn't something humans could handle. Let alone a living 200-meter-long giant dragon, you wouldn't ask a two-star cultivator to devour its soul, would you?

  "Damn it, are you kidding me? Why don't you just tell me to go die? I can't even beat a second-tier magical beast, let alone a dragon!" Tang Yan cursed after reading the manual.

  "Who told you to swallow the dragon soul now, you can swallow small demons first and slowly increase your power!" The old man said to Tang Yan.

  "Is there anything else, such as external practice of the Nine Solitary Sword and internal practice of the Tathagata Divine Palm?" Tang Yan asked.

  "No, you go back quickly, that little junior sister of yours is looking for you again!" The old man said ill-temperedly to Tang Yan, the big foodie king.

  When Tang Yan opened his eyes, he saw that the little junior sister who had been as beautiful as jade in the past was wiping the blood stains on his face with a silk handkerchief. Because Zi Lan was leaning forward, her chest was slightly exposed, and the spring scenery inside was all taken in by Tang Yan's eyes. A pair of not-too-big-or-too-small, snow-like jade peaks were slightly bouncing under her movements, but unfortunately, the two red plum blossoms on top of the snowy peaks were covered by a delicate bellyband.

  Zilan also saw Tang Yan wake up, and facing his dull wooden chicken-like eyes, Zilan quickly discovered that she was exposed, immediately stood up, and said to Tang Yan: "You're awake, you've been unconscious for a day and night, nothing's wrong now, I'll go back first!"

  She doesn't have a good impression of Tang Yan, nor does she dislike him. It's just that because they're from the same school and used to be close, Zilan is showing some concern for Tang Yan. Otherwise, he would have been crippled by those senior brothers long ago. This matter, Tang Yan also knows that she is sympathizing with him.

  "Thank you, little sister!" Tang Yan didn't expect that he had slept for a whole day and night. Just now in that space, it felt like he was only sitting there for a short while.

  "Hmm, I'm leaving!" Zilan gently pulled down her clothes and covered her chest as she left the dilapidated hut.

  Perhaps in the past, Tang Yan often looked at her with that kind of gaze. Not to mention Tang Yan looking at her like this, but even the fellow disciples from the same sect would look at her like this. However, they didn't have the good fortune that Tang Yan had, being able to see the beautiful scenery inside her chest up close.

  When the little nun left, Tang Yan took another look around and found that his wooden bed board had been smashed. He was now sleeping on a grass mat on the ground. There were also several bottles of first-class healing medicine on the table, which seemed to have been sent by Zilan.

  "Damn it, wasn't I just supposed to be slightly injured? Why do I feel like my body is falling apart? Ahh, the pain is killing me! If I don't avenge this, I'll take your surname Xiong!" Tang Yan slowly sat up and said.

  "Hey there, don't worry, I'm here for you, you won't die. What's important now is that you focus on practicing the Dragon Devouring Technique well. If your spiritual energy reaches the level of a Grandmaster, then you can start devouring dragons!" The voice of the old man from the space earlier echoed in Tang Yan's mind.

  "Huh? You can talk to me?" Tang Yan asked in response to the old man's words.

  "Of course, now that I've established a spiritual connection with you, we can communicate spiritually. If you want to become stronger, cultivate the 'Dragon Devouring Technique' well!" the old man said.

  "Hmm!"

  Tang Yan didn't know the power of this Dragon Devouring Technique, but for now, his top priority was to nurse the internal injuries in his body. He casually picked up a few pills from the table, sniffed them, and after confirming their authenticity, swallowed a few before sitting down on the ground to meditate as he usually did. However, this time it wasn't the usual Fist Technique Heart Method, but rather the new "Dragon Devouring Technique" in his mind. As for the external injuries on his body, to be honest, Tang Yan hadn't wasted those spiritual pills and medicines over the past two years. Although his strength hadn't increased after soaking in them for half a year, his body was much better than an average person's. Any external injuries he sustained usually healed within three to five days, so Tang Yan wasn't worried about these superficial wounds.

  "The Dragon-Devouring Technique" is not like other techniques, it does not have multiple levels of heaven, but only records a technique for refining spiritual energy and then absorbing soul power. However, the secret book has four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, each with three sub-levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Tang Yan also heard this from his master, and before he started practicing, he asked the old soul body about the level of the Dragon-Devouring Technique.

  He didn't expect the old man to say that it was a low-level demonic law, almost making Tang Yan vomit blood. However, after listening to his explanation, he said that the Dragon Devouring Technique was an evolving heart method. The more dragon souls it devoured, the higher its level would become.

  "So that's what it is, an evolved divine artifact?" Tang Yan said, although he hadn't played online games before, but had read one or two online game novels.

  "Close enough!" The old man lazily replied to this idiot.

  "So, do you have some kind of divine weapon for me?" Tang Yan asked again.

  "No!" said the old man.

  "Really not?" Tang Yan asked again, unwilling to give up.

  "Really! You'd better practice well, or you might become a master within a year! Otherwise, your little junior sister will be snatched away by someone else!" The old man said with some mocking laughter.

  "Who dares to touch my wife, I'll devour his soul!" Tang Yan cursed, then said: "No, human souls can't be devoured!"

  "Yes, it couldn't be swallowed before, but maybe you can modify it!" The old man said with a smile.

  "You don't say, I was really confused. How can you say that I'm a learning genius and Wu Dong is also something people practice to become? I can create it too!"

  Tang Yan finished speaking and began his meditation practice, sitting for 24 hours a day, constantly circulating the tiny amount of internal energy within him. As for the meridians in his body, although not all of them had been fully opened up yet, most of them had already been opened by his master, but the internal energy he cultivated was always being absorbed by that old man inside the spatial ring. Now that the old man was no longer absorbing it, Tang Yan felt that every time the internal energy circulated once, there was an additional thread of internal energy in his dantian.

  Sixty weeks later, on the second morning, Tang Yan began to feel a slight breakthrough in the Three Star Dou. However, he didn't make a breakthrough, knowing that once he broke through the Three Star Dou, his senior brothers would come to bother him again. This time, they might even cripple him. Think about it, Tang Yan hadn't broken through in two years, and if he were to break through again, he would definitely attract the attention of his master. At that time, those guys would start to feel their status was at risk.

  "No way, I have to find a secluded place to break through. As long as I can break through the Dou Shi, I'll be able to devour animal souls!" Tang Yan said, opening his eyes and gazing out at the hazy sky outside.
