Chapter 557: Chapter 556: The First Overnight Stay

```Feeling the intense pain of his divine consciousness being invaded, Tang San gradually used his divine consciousness to communicate with this strand of Spiritual Power. He meticulously felt every Mark within this strand of Spiritual Power, the Marks belonging to Pretty Girl.

Gradually, some changes began to occur in Tang San's divine consciousness, wonderful changes, as countless memories and epiphanies surged out from within his divine consciousness, lingering in his heart.

His thoughts also expanded rapidly with the appearance of this strand of insight.

Only Pretty Girl's Spiritual Power could stimulate his divine consciousness like this. Once divine companions, no matter how completely she forgot him after her Rebirth, invisibly, they still had that thread of connection between them.

Countless memories rapidly assailed Tang San's Sea of Spirit, causing his divine consciousness to throb continuously, but the existence of these memories gradually relaxed the expression on Tang San's face, filled with tenderness.

Unaware of how much time had passed, when Pretty Girl reopened her eyes, emerging from meditation, the sky outside was still bright.

She felt an indescribable sense of comfort throughout her body, as if she had soaked in a hot spring and then slept well, feeling refreshed and full of energy.

Immediately afterward, her spirits lifted, and she soon felt something different about her own Spiritual Power. She discovered that the world seemed brighter, and her perception of the world had also become completely different.

Blinking her eyes and concentrating on introspecting her Sea of Spirit, Pretty Girl was startled to find a silver light spot in her Sea of Spirit. This light spot appeared to be a tiny crystal, emanating a soft glow, and her own Spiritual Power was being concentrated around it, leaving a large space empty. The overall strength of her Spiritual Power also seemed to have undergone a significant change. She could even sense the space elements that existed far away.

This...

Subconsciously, she looked towards Tang San sitting opposite her.

Compared with her refreshed state, Tang San looked different at this moment, with a noticeably pale face, as if his clothes were drenched in sweat, appearing as if he had once been exhausted.

Although she did not know what the process had been like, Pretty Girl could guess that he had helped her improve, but at great cost to himself.

Just then, perhaps feeling Pretty Girl's awakening, Tang San's eyelids moved, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

At the moment their eyes met, Pretty Girl suddenly felt an electric shock-like sensation. Subconsciously, there seemed to be an additional layer of attraction between her and Tang San, a feeling of familiarity and intimacy. She had felt this before when she first met Xiao Tang in the academy. Why did she suddenly have this feeling with her Asura brother as well?

With a slight smile, Tang San said, "Awake? We need to hurry up."

"Huh?" Pretty Girl was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding his meaning.

"It's already the second morning now," Tang San explained, "We still have to participate in the doubles competition! How can we not hurry? Go freshen up, you go first."

"The second day? Did I spend the whole night here?"

A night unreturned? Pretty Girl's face instantly flushed with embarrassment. If she hadn't returned all night, what would Dad think? Although it was just for cultivation, this...

But with the competition in mind, she could not afford to care about it much longer and hurried into the washroom to freshen up.

Watching her hurried figure and cheeks as red as apples, Tang San smiled slightly, leaping up from the ground. He stretched his body vigorously, the fatigue in his eyes gradually dissipating, a divine light flashed, and a smile emerged at the corners of his mouth.

Mengte Te, wait and see!

```

Pretty Girl finished freshening up, and Tang San also washed up and changed his clothes. At least in Pretty Girl's eyes, his fatigue seemed to have completely vanished, and he was once again vibrant and energetic.

When the two went to the cafeteria for breakfast together, they ran into the Shrek squad members who had finished their meal and were preparing to head to their respective Holy Mountains for cultivation.

Seeing Tang San and Pretty Girl coming together for breakfast, everyone's gaze suddenly turned odd.

Du Bai wanted to say something but was pulled aside by Wu Bingji.

"You guys go ahead and eat. We'll leave first." Wu Bingji used his gaze to stop any questions from the other three, greeted Tang San and Pretty Girl, and then hurriedly left.

"They haven't misunderstood something, have they?" Pretty Girl's pretty face couldn't help but redden again.

In his heart, Tang San thought, let them misunderstand if they want to, it doesn't matter. But he said, "No worries, they must know we're together for cultivation in preparation for the doubles competition. It's normal; I used to stay up late to cultivate with them."

Upon hearing this, Pretty Girl's expression relaxed a bit.

While eating breakfast, Pretty Girl asked in a low voice, "Brother, what did you do to me last night?"

"Ah? I didn't do anything," Tang San said, startled, and quickly added.

Pretty Girl said, "I mean in terms of cultivation, I feel that my Spiritual Power is different."

Tang San replied, "Cultivation! I helped you organize and compress your Spiritual Power so that your control over it will become stronger. It's beneficial for you to control your own body as well as space elements. Your overall Spiritual Power has not weakened; it will actually become more solid due to the compression. You now need to quickly enrich your Spiritual Power through cultivation, filling your entire Sea of Spirit. Once you've completed this step, you can consider laying a good foundation for reaching God Rank and prepare for the breakthrough."

"Helping someone else compress their Spiritual Power? That's possible? I can't even do that myself!" Pretty Girl stared at him, flabbergasted.

Tang San smiled and said, "Just a little trick. It's nothing much."

Pretty Girl, of course, knew that it wasn't just some simple trick, but she also knew that asking Tang San wouldn't yield much more; after all, the Divine Technique Heavenly Mystery had been similarly described as a mere trick by him before.

"Haven't you overexerted yourself? Can you still compete today? If it's not possible, we can just give up on the doubles competition," Pretty Girl said with some concern.

Tang San smiled and shook his head, "Ever since I arrived in this world, I've never felt as good as I do now. Don't worry, I'm fine, and nobody can stop us from moving forward."

Pretty Girl looked at him, a bit surprised, "You mustn't force yourself!"

Tang San laughed, "I'm not forcing myself; I'm telling the truth. Rest assured, I've never lied to you. I'm really in great shape, as good as it gets."

Pretty Girl felt a bit perplexed after hearing his words. She clearly remembered him appearing very weak before! Although he seemed to be alright now, surely his previous weakness wasn't fake?

But with the competition approaching, there was no time for further discussion. After breakfast, Pretty Girl used a teleporter to bring Tang San directly to the Ancestral Court Grand Plaza.

During this teleportation, she noticed even more changes in herself. The guidance and control of her Spiritual Power over space elements became smoother than before, the distance she could teleport in one go was clearly longer, and the extension speed of her senses was faster. Just overnight, she had gained such incredible benefits.

By the time they arrived at the Ancestral Court Square, the spectator seats were already fully occupied. For the audience, the doubles competition was even more interesting than the singles. The doubles were fought two on two between top fighters, and besides the strength of each individual, there was also the tacit coordination between partners that complemented each other. Many thrilling combinations and combat strategies were showcased, giving the audience a real treat.
