Chapter 65 – 64 The Mayor’s Reaction
Tang San continued, “I took a bold step outside to help him, and when he saw that I was human, he told he was not going to make it. Then he gave a book. He said I had to join the Redemption Organization in the future and destroy the book after morizing it.”
“A book?” the mayor exclaid, “What book?”
Tang San said, “The book is called the Mystic Sky Records. It contains so cultivation thods. At that ti, I hadn’t awakened the Demon God Transformation. Then I did as he said, morized the content of the book, and burned it. Afraid of forgetting, I recited it every day and gradually learned so peculiar abilities. This ability is called Mysterious Heaven thod. I didn’t know what it was for at first. Until one day, I accidentally touched the body of a Wind Wolf, and I felt as if the Mysterious Heaven thod had absorbed sothing from it, and afterward, I had the power of wind blade.”
Hearing him speak, the mayor couldn’t help but grip the armrests of his chair tightly. However, he didn’t interrupt Tang San.
Tang San paid close attention to his changing expressions, noticing not greed in that mayor’s eyes, but tension and contemplation.
Tang San continued, “Later, I kept on cultivating, and the Mysterious Heaven thod kept improving, seeming to be divided into nine stages. Each stage corresponds to one rank of the Monster Clan. By touching and absorbing so of the Wind Wolf’s powers, I was later able to control wind blade. But I couldn’t complete the true Wind Wolf Transformation myself. Under the protection of Miss Wang, I passed the initial test to beco a vassal and beca her student. Under her guidance, I learned. But, in reality, I don’t have the Wind Wolf Transformation; I only have the Mysterious Heaven thod and the wind blade.”
“So, the thod to control wind blade, did you also learn that from the book?” the mayor asked.
Tang San nodded, “Yes.”
The mayor asked, “Do you rember the na of the person who gave you the book?”
Tang San said, “He seed to be called Zhu Jiaxin.”
“Zhu Jiaxin?” Upon hearing the na, the mayor’s eyes clearly lit up, evidently recognizing it.
“Did Zhu Jiaxin tell you where the book ca from when he gave it to you?”
Tang San shook his head. There was no proof of death.
The mayor pondered, “So you later devoured the powers of other race’s Monsters, was it during the collision tournant?”
Tang San was not surprised by this; the other party had clearly investigated everything he had gone through. It corresponded with the abilities he had shown before, such as Leopard Flash, Heavy Armor Technique, and Spirit Rhinoceros Mind Eye, which matched the skills of the Monsters he had encountered in the collision tournant.
The mayor took a deep breath, “This ability of yours, it’s extraordinary!”
Tang San tentatively asked, “Can I tell you the cultivation thod? Would you like to learn it?”
“No!” The mayor nearly blurted out instantly. The fire elents in the surrounding air beca noticeably richer again, but this ti it was not directed at Tang San; rather, it completely sealed off the atmosphere inside the room.
The mayor stood up, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and Tang San could clearly feel his body was in a state of tension.
The town chief paced back and forth in the room, his steps irregular, betraying the anxiety he was feeling at the mont.
After a long while, he returned to Tang San’s side, his face showing a bitter sweetness.
“The abilities you’ve learned from this book are very special. However, for Redemption, it’s not necessarily a good thing; at least not right now. Mysterious Heaven thod only has nine stages, correct?”
Tang San nodded his head. Of course, he wouldn’t admit that he could continue to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven thod to the level of a God King, and that the thod for cultivation beyond the ninth stage was of his own creation.
After the special nature of his abilities was discovered, he chose to tell a half-truth. After all, in the eyes of the town chief, he was still a child; the town chief couldn’t possibly discern how much of his words were true or false.
The town chief looked at him with complicated eyes and said, “Tang San, rember what I’m telling you. From now on, don’t tell anyone about the things you just told . No one else in Redemption will know, besides . I will not report to the organization either.”
Tang San was stunned for a mont; he truly didn’t expect such a reaction from the town chief. He had thought the town chief’s first request would probably be for him to share the cultivation thod of the Mysterious Heaven thod. He was actually not averse to this idea. If more people could beco stronger by cultivating the Mysterious Heaven thod, thereby making humanity stronger, it would naturally be a good thing.
In his previous world, the Mysterious Heaven thod was almost universally spread by him, existing rely as a basic skill. The strength of an individual wasn’t represented by the Mysterious Heaven thod alone.
“Town chief, I am willing to record the Mysterious Heaven thod and contribute it to the organization. It should belong to Redemption,” Tang San said.
The town chief looked at him with so surprise, but then shook his head without hesitation and said, “That’s not possible. Later you can orally share with the thod of cultivating the Mysterious Heaven thod, I just need to reference it. But apart from , you must not tell anyone else about this.”
Tang San asked in confusion, “Why?”
The town chief gave a bitter smile and said, “I can feel that you are much more mature than other children your age. The reason you can’t speak of the existence of the Mysterious Heaven thod is due to a few problems. First, the limit of the Mysterious Heaven thod is only the ninth stage, and besides you, nobody else has cultivated it, at least not to my knowledge. We don’t yet know what level can be ultimately reached by cultivating it. It’s likely comparable to the ninth stage of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan. But if it’s only at the ninth stage, it can’t make our human race much stronger. The strength of great monsters and Heavenly Spirits is beyond our imagination.”
“Secondly, although the Mysterious Heaven thod cannot be cultivated to a higher level, its ability to learn multiple abilities from the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan is too frightening. It enables us humans to learn the abilities of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan through cultivation without the need for bloodline inheritance to achieve Demon God Transformation. This would overturn the entire learning thod of humanity and make it easier for humans to possess abilities.”
Tang San candidly said, “Isn’t that a good thing?”
The town chief’s face grew even more bitter as he said, “A good thing? It’s a great calamity that could lead to the annihilation of humanity. Tell , if the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan knew that we, who already possess higher intelligence, could learn their abilities through devouring, how would they react? Extermination is a possibility. Do you think that’s a good thing?”
It was only then that Tang San had an epiphany. After all, he was not yet well-acquainted with this world, and the town chief’s concerns were genuine. Once the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan discovered that humans could learn their abilities through Mysterious Heaven thod’s devouring, the reaction would certainly be catastrophic. And this was before he even ntioned to the town chief that devouring could even kill a monster.
The town chief took a deep breath and continued, “Therefore, apart from you, nobody should know about the existence of this Mysterious Heaven thod. And as for you, we will protect you well, so keep cultivating. But you must never reveal this ability again. Not even at the cost of your life. Otherwise, it will surely bring disaster to humankind. Do you understand? It’s already very difficult, oh so difficult, for humans to struggle for survival in front of the Monster and Fairy Clans. We are gradually seeing a glimr of hope, and your Mysterious Heaven thod could be considered one of them, but it must not be discovered.”
Of course, Tang San wouldn’t conceal these abilities when facing a life-and-death crisis, but he still nodded.
