Chapter 556: First Night Together

Chapter 556: First Night Together

Enduring the excruciating pain of his divine consciousness being invaded, Tang San gradually used his divine consciousness to communicate with this strand of spiritual power. He carefully analyzed and unraveled the marks it left on his own spiritual power—the marks of Mei Gongzi.

Gradually, Tang San's divine consciousness began to undergo some changes, some wondrous changes. Countless memories and insights surged from within his divine consciousness, lingering in his mind.

His perception expanded rapidly with the emergence of these insights.

Only Mei Gongzi's spiritual power could stimulate his divine consciousness in this way. They were lovers beyond time and space; no matter how completely she had forgotten him after her rebirth, there was still that invisible bond between them.

Countless memories surged through Tang San's sea of consciousness, causing his divine consciousness to tremble continuously. Yet, the presence of these memories gradually made his expression relax and fill with tenderness.

He didn't notice the passage of time.

When Mei Gongzi reopened her eyes and awakened from her meditation, the sky outside was still bright.

She felt an indescribable comfort throughout her body, as if she had soaked in a hot spring and then had a good sleep, feeling completely refreshed and rejuvenated.

Next, her spirit was invigorated, and she immediately felt a difference in her spiritual power. The world seemed to have become brighter, and her perception of it had completely changed.

Blinking, she focused her inner vision on her sea of consciousness. Mei Gongzi immediately noticed a mote of silver light in her sea of consciousness—it looked like a small crystal emitting a soft glow. Her spiritual power was gathered at its center, leaving a large empty space. The overall density of her spiritual power seemed to have increased significantly. She could sense the space element from a far greater distance than she used to.

What is this...? What happened to me? What happened to me?

Instinctively, she looked at Asura.

Compared to her rejuvenated expression, he looked completely different. His face was noticeably pale, and even his clothes seemed soaked with sweat, making him appear utterly exhausted.

Although she didn't know the process, Mei Gongzi could guess that he had helped her improve, but it had drained him significantly.

At that moment, as if he had sensed Mei Gongzi's awakening, Tang San's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Hearing this, Mei Gongzi's expression relaxed a bit.

As they ate breakfast, Mei Gongzi asked softly, "Big Brother, what did you do to me last night?"

Tang San was startled and quickly replied, "Huh? I didn't do anything!"

"I mean the cultivation! I feel my spiritual power is different."

"Ah, yes... of course. The cultivation! I helped you compress your spiritual power and direct its flow, so your control over it will become stronger. This will help you control your own abilities and the space element better. Your overall spiritual power hasn’t decreased at all; it’s just become more compact. Next, you need to cultivate to get more volume and fill up your entire sea of consciousness again. Once you complete this step, you'll be laying the foundation for reaching godhood, and you can prepare for a breakthrough to the tenth order."

Mei Gongzi stared at him in amazement. "Helping someone else compress their spiritual power? Is that even possible? I don’t think even my father can do that!"

Tang San laughed. "Just a little trick, nothing special."

Mei Gongzi knew it was definitely more than just a little trick, but she also knew that asking him more wouldn't yield much. After all, he also claimed that the Mysterious Circles of Heaven was just a little trick.

"Aren't you too tired? Can you still compete today? If not, we can forfeit the doubles match."

Tang San shook his head with a smile. "Since coming to this world, I've never felt better than I do today. Don't worry, I'm fine. No one can stop us."

Mei Gongzi looked at him in surprise. "Don't push yourself too hard!"

Tang San smiled. "I'm not pushing myself. I'm telling the truth. Don't worry, I've never lied to you. I'm really feeling great, better than ever."

Mei Gongzi felt a bit confused after hearing his words. She clearly remembered how weak he seemed before! Although he appeared fine now, that earlier weakness couldn't have been fake, right?

But with the competition time approaching, there was no room for further inquiry. After breakfast, Mei Gongzi directly teleported herself and Tang San to the Grand Ancestral Court Plaza.

During the teleportation, she noticed even more changes. Her control over space had become smoother, the teleportation distance had significantly increased, and the range of her perception had increased as well. She had gained so much in just one night!

The audience seats were already packed when they arrived at the Ancestral Court Plaza. The doubles matches were even more exciting for the spectators than the individual ones. After all, it wasn’t just individual strength that mattered; equally important, and maybe even more important, was the synergy between partners. Many spectacular combos and battles emerged under such conditions, providing a visual feast for the audience.
