  1. Feel bad that he had to see all that. *illusion or not*
    Fuck you Shi. Hope your entire academy burns. 😦

    Pardon my French.

    • Polaris is part of the Little Dipper, so no. I am looking into an alternate name, but it’s a difficult character to translate meaningfully.

      • I Would Just call It: Celestial Qi, Being A Celestial Body

        Even Calling It: Northern Qi, Is Also Something Thats Not To Far Fetched

        The Meaning Is The Same And Also Sounds A Lot Better Then, Little Dipper

        Northern Star And Being A Celestial Body
        Both Has A Heavy Inpact Within An Ability Description
        As A Very Powerful Force, Which Also Fits In This Case

        I Also Take It This, Little Dipper Qi Would Be The Most Powerful
        As It Was Used By The Tang Sect Elders

        Again Making Northen Star More Fitting As
        The Other Celestial Bodies Revolves Around This One

        Making It The Center Of Attention And Power, But,
        Also Clearly The King Of Qi
        Never changing
        Unmoveable Power
        Just As The Celestial Body It Self Represents

        Hope My Explanations, Gets Through, As I Am Not Native English Speaker

        Ps:
        Im Not, Big On Astronomi, But, I Know Little Dipper, HeHe ( Pun Intended )

  3. i only came back the next day on a whim. i was so surprised there was actually a new chapter 2 days in a row. if this is the norm, i am so excited. i wonder what power he will get from this spirit bone.

  4. Well, that was an amazing chapter!
    I hope he uses the spirit bone for himself instead of giving it to someone else …

    • Well, depending on the spirit bone type… I think one can only equip limited number of spirit bones and cannot un-equip… So if the spirit bone effects is not great, it’s better to not use it

      Like

    • I hope so too… he is too generous and very selfless… He should at least take care of himself, but if he it is really impossible to equip, then that’s the time fo him to give it to others, and Xiao Wu is the best choice.because.of one of the spirit.abilities.

  6. Yes, this was definitely a spirit bone, and it was even an extremely previous skull bone. That Brutal Dream Spirit Shi Nian actually also had such a treasure?

    Previous skull bone, shouldn’t it be precious skull bone?

  15. I kind of want Tang San to use the spirit bone to prove to the school that he was able to survive and even kill brutal dream. But that may lead to too much trouble. I hope he at least uses the spirit bone to increase his own power. Having one spirit bone makes him OP having two would make him unstoppable

    • well i think the spirit bone won’t be compatible with him, he is very strong now they can’t make him too strong. yet. i think they will end up giving the spirit bone to someone on the weaker side, like oscar, or ning rongrong

      Like

    • Personally I think it would make more sense that he will use the spirit bone. He said to grandmaster that he wanted to get stronger. And that spirit bone will do the trick. He didn’t watch the tournament because he wanted to cultivate to be more beneficial in the team fight.

      So excited for the next chapter hopefully it release tomorrow 😛

      And thank you for the chapter!! 🙂

      • I think this as well. Not to mention the multiple times this chapter that tang san mentioned feeling much too weak. Shuttwring at the thought that if it had played out any downright he would have died. Not to mention xiau wu almost dying left a huge scar in him. Plus, the illusionists aura was described exactly like tang san and his spider Lance aura, very cold and unmoving. while xiau wu is often described as soft and warm. I think this not to mention illusions are purely mental strength. I think it will be incredibly useful and compatible with tang san. the way I see it going down… He stows it away. Shows everyone else when they get there. And then grandmaster urges him to use it to make up for not absorbing the 6000 demon spider for more offensive power and to help later with the clear sky hammer, and him being the most compatible with it. the rest of the Shrek devils will say something along the lines of “we couldn’t take this from you. You deserve it for beating the 70+ spirit master”… I’m 95% positive it’ll go to tang san

        • it does seem a logical conclution, but they might decide to save it for later.. after all if someone too powerful wants to take it it would be easier to take it out of little San’s belt rather than removing his skull 🙂
          Other than that, don’t you think it’s a little wierd how Tang San after using his spirit bone to devour the 6000 demon faced spider and then absorbing 5000 years above his limit is still at spirit level 41?

    So now he has a spirit bone to protect his genius brain… though does he really count as a genius since he naturally had more maturity from his past life and he has special spirit increasing methods that are more advanced than normal methods… and then handed the most perfect teacher…

    Well, he’s now 1 step closer to being OP and that’s all that matters…. but if a spirit bone completely fuses with a person, it’s useless to try and steal it, right? So he should try and fuse it with himself as fast as possible.

    • Even with all that, it wouldn’t take much for someone to fail to keep up with him. He got lucky, true, but he also has made use of everything hes learned from this world as well as his previous world. Even with just focusing on his spirit, he has done things with it that are more than worthy of being called genius.

      • True, he’s what he had, but he was basically given the understanding and experiences of an adult and the potential of a child.

        He was also given battle abilities and skills from his past life and had tremendous luck during these years.

        I do agree that he’s amazing, but with all the luck and the fact that he was given the advantages from his past life, I feel he’s got a huge head start that is too helpful. So I wonder if its fair to label him a prodigy.

        He had many great feats, but it was from his past life, his luck and blessings rather than his genius skill.

        He cultivates fast, but he was given a unique and superior cultivation method. He has fought well, but he had years under his belt, He was given knowledge of how to create and use weapons and poisons before he was born.

        Most of his feats are known to be genius because of his age, but his true age could be considered in his 40’s and if you think of it, amongst his proper age group, he really isn’t anything too special. He’s smart but he’s at the same level as the adults…

        If a 40 year old man showed the same abilities as Tang San, then he wouldn’t be regarded as much as a genius. It isn’t just his feats, but the age he showed them in…

        • He was considered a genius even in his past life though. Among his past peers, he was able to create some of the most powerful hidden weapons in his sect.

          At least, I think that’s what I remember on the early chapters.

          • True, in his past life, he was a genius… but in this life, his advances are beyond phenomenal…

            If he didn’t have his past life’s benefits, he probably wouldn’t have gotten even close to as far as he has gotten. He made extremely smart choices and gotten to points beyond what others would reach because of the wisdom and abilities from his past life.

            As a spirit master though, I wonder if he’s fairly considered a genius…..

            because of all the points I don’t think we can truly answer this, but I feel like he’s more of a cheat character than an actual genius character in the story… ya know…

            • Well when certain criterias are met, one naturally looks like a genius to everybody else
              1) Ton’s of practice and effort
              2) Luck
              3) Good teacher
              The fact that he has memories from his last life is indeed beneficial, but that doesn’t reduce his effort by one bit. True that he got lucky on several occasions and got out cause of hidden weapons is meh. But in the end it’s all fiction and hell it’s really well written and translated, sit back and enjoy

        • REGULAR spirit bones are sought through auctions as they can be taken from people after you kill them and moved around. it is completely different with external as they can only be absorbed by the person who kills the monster where it came from and disappear when the person who it fused with dies.

  31. Good chapter. I think Tang san is hoing to aquire this spirit bone and jump up a few levels. xian Wu is the only weak one level wise bc she didnt eat her immortal treasure but the mystery around the fact she willed herself to have a 3rd spirit ability and she is related to the titan gorilla still remains.

  32. I hope that spirit bone got mutated due to Yama’s Invitation since it was exposed to a highly corrosive (insert ultimate badass word) poison, so that only Tang San can use it….and the result would be, Spirit Bone can produce yama’s invitation level posion
