Lady She was utterly shocked beyond words at this moment.
Even though she had heard from Wei Yang about this student's astonishing talent, the scene before her was still unbelievable.
To be aware, the progress in Sacrificial Dao cultivation before this was established by an unparalleled prodigy who had unlocked the Thirteen Body Locks.
What are the Thirteen Body Locks? They symbolize the pinnacle of Martial Arts Dao, the apex of all prodigies, an existence qualified to witness the ultimate of Martial Arts Dao.
Such a prodigious figure would require three days to emerge from the Inheritance Bead, but as for Su Tu...
Merely in the brief moments of casual conversation with Wei Yang, Su Tu had already completed the first inheritance and emerged from the Inheritance Bead.
How long did he take?
Three minutes?? One minute??? Or just thirty seconds???
According to the Sacrificial Dao standards, the higher the talent, the faster the mastery of the technique.
Su Tu's talent surpassed that of the prodigy by how many times??
Tenfold? Twentyfold?? Or a hundredfold!!
Wei Yang was also speechless, unsure of how to describe his current feelings.
He witnessed Su Tu bearing the Crown Label of "Emperor," knowing it symbolized the greatest of talents, but he never expected Su Tu's talent to be so terrifying and monstrous.
Since the emergence of Sacrificial Dao, which prodigy in cultivating this technique hasn't depended on the aid of their elders, enduring hardship for many days to master it, and even after freeing themselves, their vitality is often depleted.
But on the contrary, Su Tu, upon emerging from the Inheritance Bead, not only showed no signs of exhaustion; instead, the aura he exuded became even stronger and profound, even his vitality seemed to grow more vigorous.
"Little Tu, have you already mastered Sacrificial Dao??"
Though Lady She was experienced, she quickly suppressed her emotions and spoke calmly.
"Indeed, Grandma."
Su Tu looked at Lady She with a slight smile, as an invisible ripple spread out.
"No!!!" Lady She's eyes narrowed, sensing something amiss, she intended to stop Su Tu.
But it was already too late!!
The next moment!!
Swish!!
Black lines deep and distant appeared instantly around Su Tu, and the moment these patterns emerged, Su Tu's vitality within him started burning wildly.
Yet simultaneously, his True Qi, Immortal Power, physique, heart, and spirit were greatly enhanced.
His entire aura became tremendously terrifying, and in the void, three flames burned above his shoulders and his head.
Seeing Su Tu executing Sacrificial Dao, Wei Yang quickly stood up and spoke hastily.
"Little Tu!! This technique that burns vitality is not meant for casual..."
However, before he could finish his words, Wei Yang was dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at Su Tu.
"How did you do that...."
Wei Yang felt his lips dry.
At this moment, as Su Tu activated Sacrificial Dao, his vitality didn't burn into decay; instead, Su Tu's vitality continued to grow stronger.
Like a raging fire feeding on wood, the more it burns, the more intense it gets.
This was completely different from what they had seen of Sacrificial Dao before.
Feeling the immense power within himself, Su Tu couldn't help but smile slightly; his intuition was correct, with the support of Eternal Life, the vitality Sacrificial Dao needed to burn was insignificant.
During Sacrificial Dao activation, the recovery speed of True Qi doubles, enough for Eternal Life to constantly replenish his own vitality.
In other words, when Su Tu is in Sacrificial Dao mode, not only does he not consume vitality, but due to the doubled Qi, Eternal Life can provide a substantial amount of vitality, achieving a state where the more vitality burns, the stronger it grows.
It doesn't even require plunder to achieve a perfect cycle.
However, this is merely the First Level of Sacrificial Dao, which is divided into five levels. With each level increase, the consumption of vitality escalates by one fold.
If one intends to activate the Second Level of Sacrificial Dao, plundering the enemy's Qi is necessary to maintain the cycle.
"I don't know what's happening either."
"It happened inexplicably."
Divine Skills are concerning the system, being Su Tu's greatest ace, he naturally couldn't reveal the truth to Wei Yang, so he simply applied his usual formula.
While speaking, Su Tu also deactivated the Sacrificial Dao state.
Lady She and Wei Yang exchanged glances and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
Could it be that Sacrificial Dao has never been an evil skill or a demonic cultivation technique that burns vitality for power, but all predecessors didn't comprehend the true intent of Sacrificial Dao due to a lack of talent?
While Su Tu, gifted enough, has in this generation rectified Sacrificial Dao, fully mastering the essence of this technique!!
The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
The ecstatic expression in their eyes was uncontrollable; Su Tu was the sole budding talent in the Ancient Skill specialization, the stronger and more gifted he was, the further his path in the future!!
If this is the case, even if Ancient Skill becomes obsolete in the future, when Su Tu grows into a towering figure that shines across the heavens, everyone will remember he originated from the study of Ancient Skill.
Thus, even if the Ancient Skill is forgotten by then, Su Tu's existence will ensure it won't fade entirely into the dust of time.
Amid their excitement, Wei Yang seemed to recall something.
The Thirteen Body Locks already represent the limit of Martial Arts Dao, and if prodigies of this caliber couldn't grasp the true intent of Sacrificial Dao, how many locks did Su Tu unlock??
Could he have already broken the Federation's current record??
The Crown Label of "Emperor," the ultimate talent!!
Wei Yang's eyes narrowed drastically; throughout history, even those who unlocked the Thirteen Body Locks didn't qualify for this crown, whereas Su Tu received it. Does this mean Su Tu has surpassed the current limits of Martial Arts Dao?
He licked his parched lips, about to ask.
But Lady She, beside him, was quicker: "Little Tu, how does it feel entering the Inheritance Bead for the first time?"
"I've heard that the Inheritance Spirit within the Sacrificial Dao is extremely fierce and defiant?"
Lady She seemed to ask Su Tu with curiosity.
Yet her gaze, whether intentionally or not, swept over Wei Yang, and in her kind eyes, a pair of amber-colored vertical pupils suddenly emerged.
Su Tu did not notice the little movements between Lady She and Wei Yang.
Instead, he listened to Lady She's words, his expression becoming somewhat strange...
"Fierce, defiant..."
"Not really, I feel it's rather polite, polite to the point of... being excessive..."
.....
Just as Su Tu touched the Inheritance Bead, his entire heart and spirit were drawn into it.
It was a pitch-black world, with countless black patterns carrying an ancient and desolate aura.
As soon as he entered, Su Tu saw a spirit body resembling a lantern, waiting for him.
Su Tu knew that this was the so-called Inheritance Consciousness.
"Another seeker has come. I've said it before, in this era, the Human Race does not have the presence capable of sustaining the Sacrificial Dao!"
"The Sacrificial Dao requires a Sacrificial Master, not a sacrificial offering. Even if someone with insufficient talent masters the Sacrificial Dao, they can only become offerings beneath the Dao, doomed to roam as lonely spirits...."
As the red lantern spoke, countless black patterns around it stirred with authority, yet this authority completely collapsed when it saw Su Tu....
"The seeker you referred to must be me.." Su Tu pointed to himself.
He felt that this title was fitting, entering the Inheritance Bead for the pursuit of techniques, being called a seeker seemed apt.
However, upon hearing this, the red lantern shook its head frantically.
It looked at Su Tu as if seeing something unbelievable, its light growing so intense that it brightened the surrounding black patterns somewhat.
"No, no!! You are not a seeker, you are the Master of the Sacrificial Dao itself!!"
"I have waited, waited!!! To think such a terrifyingly talented individual exists in this era, I cannot see your limits, your future holds infinite possibilities, infinite horizons."
"I have waited, I have waited for you!!!"
The red lantern spoke wildly, and then....
With strong red light erupting from it, all the black patterns within the Inheritance Bead transformed into streams of light and flowed into Su Tu's body.
Following was the cultivation method of the Sacrificial Dao, the Qi Flow route, along with the five killing techniques, all imprinted in Su Tu's mind.
As for the challenges or tests that Wei Yang mentioned earlier, there were none.
Once Su Tu mastered the First Level of Sacrificial Dao in his mind, the red lantern respectfully bowed to Su Tu.
Imagine a floating red lantern bowing to a person, it's quite polite, and then Su Tu's consciousness returned to his body.
Upon hearing Su Tu's account, Wei Yang and Lady She became more certain of their thoughts.
Before Su Tu, those seeking to learn the Sacrificial Dao were certainly due to lacking talent, unable to properly perform the Sacrificial Dao.
Otherwise, why would the supposedly arrogant inheritance consciousness be so obedient in front of Su Tu?
Watching Lady She and Wei Yang discussing in low voices.
Su Tu's pupils flickered; he hadn't fully disclosed all of his experiences within the Inheritance Bead.
As Su Tu's consciousness was about to return, the red lantern suddenly stood upright, its flame burning, and an image appeared within it.
It said to Su Tu.
"The Sacrificial Dao and Immortal Burial emerge from the same Dao!!"
Subsequently, Su Tu's consciousness returned to his body.
Immortal Burial is Su Tu's perception of Basic Skill, unique to him, and at this moment, the inheritance spirit actually said that the Sacrificial Dao shares the same origin as Basic Skill, this compels Su Tu to pay attention.
If it weren't for Wei Yang and Lady She being present, Su Tu truly wished to enter the Inheritance Bead again.
Wei Yang and Lady She had stopped discussing the technique, turning instead to check Su Tu's body.
Assured that Su Tu's execution of the Sacrificial Dao did not harm him, they were finally relieved.
The three chatted casually, as the Ancient Skill research specialist had already been relocated to Celestial City Star, awaiting Su Tu to complete the martial exam and apply.
"Given your strength and status now, there's no need to participate in the cumbersome processes of preliminary and secondary martial exams. Tomorrow, I'll personally make a trip to apply for the qualification to be among the North Sea Ten Students on your behalf."
Lady She swung her sleeve and spoke.
"Can this be done?"
Su Tu hadn't expected such an option; to be directly qualified as one of the final ten students eligible to enter Douluo Palace from North Sea, bypassing exams?
"Why not."
"After going through the Training Camp, your ascending Martial Arts Dao fortune is certainly high. With your current strength, looking across the young generation on Ancestor Star, there are few qualified to clash with you."
"Rather than participating in tedious exams, it'd be better to be directly qualified, awaiting the final showdown; only the ten selected from each region are eligible to fight you!"
Lady She spoke decisively.
All the selection actions are to elevate the fortune of Martial Arts Dao, focusing on the final ten selected, and then bringing the ten from each region together to host the final martial exams; only in this way, can the fortune of Martial Arts Dao be thoroughly unleashed.
Thus revealing the Douluo Palace relics.
Lady She was right, with Su Tu's current strength, undergoing lengthy preliminary and retests would be a waste of time. Since the channel exists, naturally he should take the direct qualification route.
"Su Tu, in the martial exams, if you encounter the Human Race, if they are harmless, you might spare them a chance. However, if you meet those peculiar things, kill as many as you can!!"
Lady She suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Su Tu immediately sensed something amiss, wondering what peculiar things could be involved; could the Ancestor Star martial exams have foreign participation?
Lady She seemed to perceive Su Tu's doubt.
She couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know what agreement the Supreme Conference and the Seven Great Alliances reached, ultimately during the martial exams, a group of foreign races will enter Ancestor Star to participate with you."
