Getting Divorce?

The black gas dissolved into his bones and released dark red gas that transferred throughout his body. This dark red gas was a little different than the black gas. While black gas was the essence of the sun transformed by the prison, this dark red gas only had the power of prison.

As for the sun's essence, it actually merged with his body. Because Gu Tan needed to improve his cultivation as well as form Yang Body, he needed to use the Sun's Essence in a way that the pure power of the sun's essence can be separated from normal qi.

The surroundings around him are filled with spiritual qi. This spiritual qi is the energy residing between heaven and earth. Humans use spiritual qi and transform it into internal energy or elemental energy with the help of martial soul and elemental veins respectively.

For normal cultivation, he doesn't need the sun's essence even though it does improve one's cultivation speed. But, one also needs a proper and powerful cultivation technique to bear the impact of the sun's essence.

As the dark red gas spread throughout his body, it starts transforming his body. The muscles, skin, bones, veins, every part of the body needs to be improved for three stages. Since he had absorbed five hours of the sun's essence and spiritual qi, he could improve a whole stage.

Normally, a rank one martial soul would take nearly nine months to gather the amount of spiritual qi that a ninth rank martial soul can gather in just nine days. The cultivation speed between ranks is too high. Of course, the reason why it only took five hours' worth of absorption for Gu Tan is a separate reason.

Because of Body Metamorphosis Technique, each year his potential explodes and is stored inside his body. That means it's not just his talent that is making the difference. It is also his potential. Normally potential only explodes when a person is near a life and death situation.

But, Body Metamorphosis Technique has the ability to make that situation each year. Of course, there is also another factor which is his two ninth rank martial souls. As his muscles, bones, skins, and veins started improving alongside the inner organs, his strength also rose.

The first stage of Tiger and Dragon Realm has the strength of Tiger at the start. And, the strength of thirteen tigers will be equal to a dragon. But now, his strength directly reached the strength of three tigers.

That wasn't a normal thing but considering the potential exploded by the Body Metamorphosis Technique, two martial souls, and the power of the sun's essence dissolving inside his body. All of these factors did push his strength to a whole new level.

After improving his cultivation, he stayed in the same position for ten minutes. Only then, he opens his eyes. The red sun was slowly setting towards the west. It was a miraculous scene.

'In my previous life, I never get to watch this kind of scene with a lover. But, it seems fate has changed the wheel but I wonder who will be the first one?'

Gu Tan lightly chuckled and stood up. He stretched his body and ran towards the edge of the roof.

Thud!

As he reached the edge, he jumped down and landed on his feet.

"Ehhh! Young Master???" Behind him, there was a maid standing while holding a tray in her hands.

"Kao'er, where are mom and dad?" Gu Tan was a little startled upon hearing her voice. But, he instantly recognized her and asked about his parents.

"Master and Mistress must be in their room." Kao'er was a maid and the one who took care of him from a small age. Though he didn't need their help most of them before he was two, he did need them for everything.

"Dinner will be ready soon, right?" Gu Tan asked after learning about his dad and mom.

Kao'er nodded and bowed down "Young Master, I shall serve the food. Can you please call out Master and Mistress?" Kao'er requested him and instantly left.

Gu Tan was slightly startled by her reaction. Normally, she is the one who calls everyone for dinner and lunch. But, this time she seems to be dodging his parents. Gu Tan narrowed his eyes and closed his eyes.

Because he had no recollection of this memory, he could only try to sense her emotions.

'Scared? Why would she be scared of something?' As Gu Tan questioned himself, he walked towards the house. As he took a step forward, he suddenly noticed an immense wave of anger coming out of his parent's room.

'Anger, why would they fight each other especially right now? Shouldn't they be happy that I awakened martial soul? Something is wrong.' Gu Tan's eyes turned serious as he rushed near their room but he found he couldn't hear a single word outside.

'Array? When did the village have the array master? No, are they hiding something from me?' Gu Tan instantly released internal energy from his body. After cultivating his body, the remaining qi gets transformed into internal energy with help of his martial soul.

That's why he stayed silent for ten minutes even though he had already improved his cultivation. He was calling his martial soul inside his body and transforming the remaining qi into internal energy. Because internal energy is the force that needs to be spread through his body for the battle.

It needs to be stored near his naval point. There is a mysterious space is called dantian. Unlike mana, the internal energy needs to stored inside the dantian. He releasing the internal energy into his fingers, he ran a scripture in his mind and the white internal energy transformed into yellow internal energy alongside its ability.

At the same time, the internal energy also transferred to his eyes.

"Clear Divine Eyes!"

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

As soon as he activates the divine eyes, he tapped all the corners of the door and brought his ears close to the door.

Creek! Thud!

But just when he brought his ear close, the door opened and his head struck the ground.

"Ahem! Young man, if you want to eavesdrop on someone, you shouldn't call out the name so loud." In front of him, Gu Chen stood while looking down at his son. Behind him, Gu Shui also stared at her son and sighed.

"Wait, this array only blocks the sound that comes from inside?" Gu Tan asked with a dumbfounded expression as he stood up.

"Well, you wasted your internal energy. But wow! You actually reached the first stage in just five hours. That's amazing even with two ninth rank martial souls." Gu Chen's eyes widen but quickly returned to normal as he remembered the amazing master behind his son.

"Body Metamorphosis Technique did help." Gu Tan nodded his head and answered.

Gu Chen nodded his head and turned silent.

"You don't have anything to say? Why were you two fighting?" Gu Tan asked with suspicion in his eyes. He saw the cold look on his face when he mentioned the fight.

"Son, I know this is a bit hard to accept but…" While placing his palm on Gu Tan's soldier, he continued "You mother and I are getting divorced."

"What??????" Gu Tan screamed so loud that even the chicken running on the field dropped the egg from behind.

"Hahaha! I am just joking." His son's scream made him remember how loud his own scream is. He immediately burst into laughter and patted his son's shoulder.

"Ouch! I was just making a good mood." Suddenly, Gu Chen screamed in pain as he turned around and looked at Gu Shui with puppy eyes.

"Dad! Don't joke like that. For a second, my heart almost came out." Gu Tan sighed and rolled his eyes as he shouted at his father.

"Wait, did you get internal bleeding?" Gu Chen turned his head at Gu Tan and asked while surveying his body.

"Don't joke, dad!" Gu Tan turned his eyes at Gu Shui and asked "Mom, what's going on? Why were you two angry at each other? And, what's up with this array? What are you hiding from me?"

Gu Shui sighed and looked at Gu Chen "There is something that we wanted to tell you. Originally, we were planning to tell you at the age of fourteen but it seems you are ready to understand the truth."

"Don't you think it is amazing for a village child to inherit the Ninth Rank Divine Grade Martial Soul?"
