Without hesitation, Xiao Wu instantly swears, "I swear on the heavens, I will never betray the trust Brother San has in me! I will always be loyal to Brother San and the Tang Sect and uphold its rules!"It sounded more like a love declaration, but the others didn"t give it any thought as they also swore allegiance to the Tang Sect.
The girls and I also swore allegiance to the Tang Sect, it will help the girls immensely to learn the Tang Sect Techniques in the future.
Tang San nodded once he had all our promises, "Good, we will all be the founders of the Tang Sect, but I feel like we are still missing something."
"We do not have enough people, there are 11 of us here, if we can get 3 more, then we will have enough for two teams." Qing"er spoke her opinion.
The others nodded their heads. In the Douluo Continent, conventional teams are made up of two, three and seven people. So, if we can have 14 core members, it will be enough for two teams.
"Alright, we will have a total of 14 founding members, who are the core of the Tang Sect. But they must be strong, or have monstrous talent like us. If we can find some people that we can trust, then we can also have them join." Tang San said.
"Alright then, if we are going to have 14 core members, we should split into two teams. My girls and I will be one team, while the rest of you will be another team. We will be the Yin Team, since there are more girls on my team, and you guys will be the Yang Team, since there are more guys."
It will be better if my girls and I are part of the same team, because we have the best teamwork together. Mu Bai also agreed with me, "Okay, if we are splitting our teams, then you can have two people to invite, and we will have one person. For now, we will act as if the other three members are unknown"
We will pretend as if we already have our 14 members, when in reality we still need 3, I can also use my Illusion Ice Transformation to make up for the last 3 members if we need to appear in public.
"But we must have cool t.i.tles as well, what should we be called? Tang Sect"s 14 Devils? What will my t.i.tle be? Evil Phoenix Majestic Demon King? I like that t.i.tle!" Fatty has a gleam in his eyes as he mentions his self-made t.i.tle.
"How about we name ourselves G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses representing something unique about us? As for our group name, we can be called "Guardian G.o.ds of Tang Sect"." I also put in my opinion, but Fatty is confused.
"Why G.o.ds? Being a Demon King sounds really cool, we should be them instead!" Fatty seems pretty hooked onto becoming a Demon King, but I have my reasons for choosing G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses.
"It is said that once your Spirit Rank reaches level 100, you will become a G.o.d, and can go to the G.o.d"s Realm. If we call ourselves G.o.ds, it will be a symbol of our ambition and determination to reach level 100 and become G.o.ds." I explain my reasoning and I can see the eyes of everyone visibly brighten as I mention becoming G.o.ds.
"Great! That"s a great idea! We will name ourselves G.o.ds as our ambition to become G.o.ds!" Mu Bai is moved by the idea and greatly supports it, even Fatty looked ecstatic and nodded his head rapidly.
Tang San agreed immediately, "Alright, our t.i.tles will be that of G.o.ds, so think of something unique to all of you, so it can be our G.o.dship t.i.tle. Maybe I can be the Spider G.o.d or River Gra.s.s G.o.d."
"But we need something for everyone to recognise us, if we just go around saying we are from Tang Sect, n.o.body will remember us!" Oscar brings up the next problem, and Tang San adds on a bit.
"Tang Sect is a sect that specialises in a.s.sa.s.sination through Hidden Weapons and poisons, so we can"t wear something too flamboyant." Fatty and Oscar look disheartened when they couldn"t be flamboyant, otherwise they would move around while waving a flag saying, "We are Tang Sect!"
"How about we all have matching cloaks that are unique to the Guardian G.o.ds. They should be full body cloaks that hide everything except our heads, then we can also have a hat to hide our faces. But just a coloured cloak is too dull, we should have a pattern on it as well." I put in a suggestion, this may or may not be a hidden desire to be a part of the Akatsuki.
Tang San also seems to like this, "Yes! If you are an a.s.sa.s.sin, you can"t show your face, otherwise if your enemies live and see it, they will target everything close to you for revenge. As for the pattern, we could use a lotus flower."
Xiao Wu seemed confused at Tang San"s insistence on the pattern, "Brother, why does it have to be a Buddha"s Lotus? I didn"t know you were so interested in flowers!"
Tang San shakes his head bitterly, "I am not interested in flowers… The Tang Sect"s number one mechanical Hidden Weapon is called Buddha"s Fury Tang Lotus and it is in the shape of a lotus flower. I thought we could use that as our pattern…"
Everyone"s eyes lit up when they heard Tang San. They quickly agreed to the cloaks and finalised the designs.
"How are we going to separate ourselves from the fakes that try to impersonate us? Our reputation will be run to the ground if bad people impersonate us to do bad things." Mu Bai said, if we are going to be a well-known organisation, there are bound to be people impersonating us.
"I can make an item that shines the Tang Sect symbol like how we can shine our Spirit Marks. It can only be activated by circulating the Tang Sect"s Technique." Tang San said.
We decided that we would all wear matching cloaks as our attire and have unique rings. Our ring"s will be made by Tang San and it will have our G.o.d t.i.tle inside our Spirit Mark on the face of the ring, but when we circulate the Mysterious Heaven Technique, the Tang Sect symbol will shoot into the air. It can also act as a flare to gather everyone to the symbol.
Our hats will be made from a special kind of straw, and will be able to hide our faces
Once we finalised our ideas, we were already nearing the end of the two laps. Yu Xiao Gang was waiting for us at the entrance.
He handed each of us a cup of salt water before saying, "I am proud that you guys act as a whole ent.i.ty, if you stick together and help each other, you will be able to achieve much more than originally possible as individuals."
Yu Xiao Gang didn"t say much and started our training immediately. For two hours, we would fight in all kinds of different situations and teams. The battles ranged from 1v1, up to 5v5, and sometimes 3v8 when I am allowed to use more strength.
Before every fight, Yu Xiao Gang would give us special restrictions. For example, I wasn"t allowed to use my Yin Ice Staff, causing my combat ability to drop significantly. He would constantly change the restrictions, allowing me to find my flaws and fix them.
The others also go similar restrictions, but it was mainly only restricting their Spirit Abilities. Since I am stronger than everyone I have the most restrictions.
After combat training, we would begin strengthening training again. Like the first punishment, we weren"t allowed to use any Spirit Power, and we had to finish it together. Yu Xiao Gang had many methods of training us, and all of them brought the others to the limit of exhaustion.
They often pa.s.sed out after every strengthening training and woke up in medicinal casks again. Then we would have dinner where Tang San explains the Tang Sect Techniques to us, before going back to our places to cultivate.
Everyone had a dense schedule of fights and strengthening, while also making time to practice the Tang Sect Techniques, though most of us chose a specific area to focus in since there was too much to learn.
Besides learning the Mysterious Heaven Technique, one of the things everyone learnt together was the anatomy of the human body. As an a.s.sa.s.sination sect, Tang San knew every part of the body and which was the best place to strike at, this information would allow us to increase our lethality by many times.
I had a slightly better understanding of the human body than the others thanks to my previous life, but it is nowhere near as comprehensive as Tang San"s. The Tang Sect learnt the anatomy of the human body through trial and error, while I only know a bit from high school knowledge.
Soon, three months have pa.s.sed, and Tang San hasn"t had any time to forge for us. In these three months, everyone was pushed to the point of exhaustion and would pa.s.s out by the end of almost every training.
Although they didn"t make much progress in terms of Spirit Power, each of their bodies qualities have changed greatly.
Thanks to the introduction of the Tang Sect"s strengthening techniques, each of them could do the first punishment with more than double the weights they previously had. Even my body strength has increased greatly overall.
Every person"s body has changed greatly. Ma.s.sive exercise and plenty of nutrients have had an enormous effect on the stature of everyone.
Mu Bai has grown taller and st.u.r.dier, he looks to be a couple years older with his tanned skin and muscles that look to hold explosive energy.
I have also grown a bit taller, and my shoulders have become wider. Mu Bai and I are around the same height now, as we are rapidly shooting towards 2 metres. When we stand together, we look like two friends around 17-18-years-old.
Oscar has somehow become even whiter than before, looking like a ghost. But just looking at the figure of his body, you would never guess he is a support system Spirit Master. He has also become st.u.r.dier, but along with Fatty, he is the shortest male.
Fatty became has lost a lot of weight, which he is sad about. Although he is still fat, it looks like most of the fat was turned into muscles, and he looks like a strong sumo wrestler. I guess he will be fat all his life, maybe he really is big boned…
Tang San has not changed much, he still looks normal, except when looking closely at his body, you can see a hidden power that can explode with frightening strength. He also grew a bit taller and is just a bit shorter than Mu Bai and I. He looks so average that you wouldn"t remember him in a crowd.
Rong Rong has changed a lot, I forced her to grow her hair out, since I think it will suit her better. Her entire body has become toned, unlike her previous soft and squishy princess body. Her entire body has gained an amazing elasticity, including her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and b.u.t.t. Her skin has gained a healthy glow to it, not white, but also not bronze.
Her face has become more refined and has an elegant and majestic aura to it. She was probably the one who has changed the most in these three months.
Feng Feng and Little Yue haven"t changed much except for becoming more toned, though they still kept their innate softness.
Qing"er has become slimmer as her body shows off all her curves. Somehow, her b.r.e.a.s.t.s have grown even more and has already caught up to Little Yue. She mainly focuses on Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, so her speed has increased to insane levels.
Xiao Wu and Little Jing have barely changed at all. They didn"t lose weight or get toned, they didn"t even get a tan. This could probably have something to do with them being Spirit Beasts, but they just kept a happy and lively appearance.
This morning, Yu Xiao Gang said, "Congratulations, you have all finished your second phase of training, you will have one week of vacation to get used to your condition, before we start the next phase."
