  1. Thank you. The ending was shocking but I’m guessing that’s where his third spirit bone is located or was located.

    • You’ll be surprised about how he acquires his third spirit bone. It’s really a shocker.

      Hint: From where do spirit bones come from…

            • …doesn’t spirit bone form (and transferred to the killer) when the monster gets killed? which is why i said if tang san got his mother spirit bone, then that would mean that tang san’s mother is still alive and tang san has to “last hit” her..

              • No, even if she already is dead, the spirit bone could have alreade apeared and Tang Hao could have stored it (or it was in one of his limbs). What makes spirit bones so special is precisely, that not only the killer can use them but everyone that gets a hold of them. Thats one of the main differences between spirit bones and spirit rings..

                • Well yeah… But Hao never said that he ¿absorbed? the spirit bone… just that it dropped. So I feel like san might get it.

          • Can it be the same way as he obtained his 5th Spirit Ring?, i mean, you said “where do spirit bones come from”, well…they come from spirit beasts, and since Tang San’s 5th spirit ring came from his Blue Silver Emperor, it is not strange to think that it may also give him a Spirit Bone, or am i wrong?

            • Spirit Bones have a chance of dropping when a spirit beast dies, the closer to 100.000 year cultivation it is, the higher the chance with a 100.000 year spirit beast having a 100% chance of dropping a bone.
              There hasn’t been any other way to get hold of a spirit bone reveiled so far, except for trading or killing spirit masters that posess some.

              • Yes, odds are it is the spirit bone his mother dropped when she died, and which his father has been using and now decided to pass onto him. Severing the limb is the only way to pass it on before death.

              • Also, spirit bones are more likely to drop if you REALLY PISS OFF the spirit beast. Alternatively, If a spirit willingly sacrifices itself to you (for instance, for a spirit ring), it will drop a spirit bone too.

                This is according to the grandmaster when he is talking about spirit bones back around chapter 30 or something. There was also something about surpassing the limits, but I didn’t really understand what it meant…

                Like

                • I think it was Xiao Wu explaining this. When a spirit beast decides to sacrifice its life for a spiritmaster that means the limitations to the ring will not apply. For example, a 90000 year spirit beast sacrificng itself to a rank 10 spiritmaster will enable the spiritmaster to have a 90000 year ring as his first.
                  Circumstances like that will likely not happen though, as spirit beasts loathe spiritmasters for hunting them so much.

                  Like

                  • No I think Xiao Wu said, something about spirit lash where a 10,000 and higher year spirit beast does to the spirit master absorbing that spirit ring. Also I don’t think it works that was because as Grandmaster said and as the Blue Silver King in Ch13x? backed up, the cultivation level of a spirit master has a direct correlation to the cultivation level of a spirit ring they may obtain which is also a reason why you can really only get 100 year spirit rings for your first spirit ring and may only obtain a 100,000 year spirit ring when you reach the rank Titled Duoluo.
                    Sounds confusing even to me but ya.

    That said, kinda wish Tang San leveled up a little farther… but what ever….

    Also wish that the prince knew his identity haha

    And I knew these manners were to control his killing intent, but to also make him more of a chick-magnet? Nice XD

    And boy did I lol at the start of this chapter. Last chapter’s comment I voiced my concern for yet another arc of training sequences but the Author seemed to read my mind and made it a time skip. That “One year later…” sentence made me so happy. I was expecting to see an entire chapter focused solely on Tang San learning to walk “properly” with a book on his head for balance etc.

    Good author 😀

  8. Bagel san, I have only one, very important request…
    When the really big spoilery part concerning Tang San and Xiao Wu finally comes, could you consider doing a double chapter release so that we aren’t stuck with a cliff hanger?
    People are going to be crying out for immediate satisfaction once they see that part: leaving them hanging would be painful…
    I know it’s a lot to ask, so it isn’t a demand.
    Still, I hope you’ll consider it…

    • Spirit Hall is kinda like the church in this universe, so nailing Golden hot fox girl/next “pope” kinda fills the hot nun thing. The next step would have to be wooing an actual god maybe, or maybe unintentionally attract a male love interest, because why not, his charm is seemingly omnipotent.

  18. Just spent the past few days reading this LN, and I have to say it’s awesome! Thanks very much to Bagelson for the translation.

    It’s interesting to see the parallels between Tang San and his father so far – especially in the relationships. Not only that, but also a parallel between Tang San and his foster father/teacher, Grandmaster. The woman who would become the Supreme Pontiff was obviously ditched by Grandmaster for his love – just as Foxy Lady will be ditched by Tang San for Xiao Wu.

    As for the spirit bone, that will be what Tang San felt in the cave behind the waterfall when he was training with Tang Hao = and it will be from his mother who died giving birth to him (i.e. that was her sacrifice.) This also squares with what the Blue Silver King said to Tang San about the Blue Silver Emperor – the old Emperor must die for the new Emperor to live. Tang Hao probably did have spirit bones on his arm and leg, and only by cutting them off can he give those to Tang San, but I suspect he can only absorb one spirit bone at a time, and it takes some time to ‘adapt’ the spirit bone, so he won’t be able to absorb his father’s for a while.

    Really looking forward to what happens, though, as I’m probably completely wrong!
