Chapter 354: Spirit Manifestation and Tattoos

Seeing this, Wu Mingchang nodded slightly at everyone, knowing they were all his grandson's Club partners.

However, when his gaze fell on Xue Zhengying, a hint of surprise appeared.

"Grandpa, let me introduce you," Wu Xian then pulled Shifu-jie to his side, "This is my girlfriend, and also my Shifu-jie, as well as my partner in the Club."

"Girlfriend?" Wu Mingchang's expression was unusual.

It wasn't that he had any objection to Xue Lingling; it was just that his precious grandson seemed to be only eighteen, right?

"Grandpa... hello." Xue Lingling's face showed shyness.

"Good, good, good," Wu Mingchang smiled kindly. It was a bit early, but as the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. "You must get along well with her from now on, understand?"

Wu Xian grinned, signaling his grandfather not to worry.

He then briefly introduced the Club members to his grandfather, with a special emphasis on Xue Zhengying and Kun Youniang.

His grandfather seemed to have no prejudice against the Great Demons from other Realms. In fact, none of the big shots present had any prejudice against them.

Afterward, Governor Yang and the others, having divided the Law Origin Essence, came up one by one to chat with his grandfather.

His grandfather merely responded politely, not engaging in much conversation with them.

"Everyone, the great task is complete; let everything return to peace."

Wang Fengnian solemnly stepped forward and spoke.

Although Governor Yang and the others were full of curiosity, they understood the meaning of Wang Fengnian's words and did not inquire or press further.

"If Elder Wu ever needs anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

After leaving that remark, they wisely took their leave.

"I never expected Little Wu to be the descendant of an old hero like you," Cui Wenxuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "No wonder he is so outstanding."

"What kind of hero am I?" Wu Mingchang waved his hand self-deprecatingly, "It's my grandson here who has caused Chairman Cui trouble."

"Elder Wu, you're being too polite," Cui Wenxuan laughed, "I am half a Master to Ling-yatou, and Little Wu is Ling-yatou's apprentice, so there is some Master-disciple Legacy between us. Moreover, Little Wu has rendered great service to Yaoyang City."

Mayor Chen Shilong stepped forward and echoed, "Great Master Little Wu's contributions to Yaoyang City are evident to all."

Wu Mingchang nodded slightly, saying no more.

Soon after, Wu Xian excitedly brought his grandfather to visit the Underworld Club.

Meanwhile, Chen Shilong and Cui Wenxuan began to lead the city's aftermath work.

This great battle had caused significant damage to Yaoyang City.

At the Club, many people were curious about his grandfather's identity but were sensible enough not to ask too many questions.

In short, he was very strong and awesome.

"No need to be nervous," Wu Mingchang's Aura gradually became restrained, as if he were a harmless elderly neighbor. "Just treat me as an elder in the family. If anyone likes Body Cultivator training in the future, this old man would be very happy to guide you."

"Really, Grandpa Wu? That's great!" Wang Xiaocong excitedly danced with joy.

"Be serious." Wang Fengnian shook his head, annoyed.

"Xiaocong is indeed a good child; he must have inherited excellent genes from his grandmother's side," Wu Mingchang nodded in approval, then his gaze fell on Xue Zhengying, and he said meaningfully, "However, Xue Family's second brother, are you interested in Cultivating Body Cultivator techniques with me?"

"Ah? Me?" Xue Zhengying seemed a bit confused.

Wu Xian naturally heard the implication in his grandfather's tone—he was considering taking an apprentice.

And not just a simple few pointers, but a proper transmission of his Legacy.

"Grandpa, you might not be aware of second brother's situation yet. He was born with..."

Wu Xian subconsciously wanted to explain Xue Zhengying's special Physique to his grandfather.

But his grandfather calmly said, "Of course, I know."

"You know?" Wu Xian was startled.

Then he saw Wang Fengnian next to him chuckle and say, "Precisely because of that, he is even more suitable to inherit the old chief's Legacy."

"What do you mean?" Wu Xian was utterly confused. "Does second brother's special Physique also have a bonus for Body Cultivator Cultivation?"

Wu Mingchang smiled calmly, "Is there a possibility that your grandfather and he share the same Physique?"

"Ah?" Wu Xian was stunned on the spot.

What was going on?

Was his Grandpa Wu Mingchang also a "Heavenly Dao Physique"?

"Only those with our Physique can Cultivate Spirit Power Body Forging techniques to their extreme," Wu Mingchang spoke again. "How about it? Do you want to consider it?"

Xue Zhengying couldn't help but fall into thought, "But Junior..."

"Spirit Power Body Forging techniques might help you suppress or even completely control the power of that little spider, even transforming it into a unique advantage," Wu Mingchang naturally understood what Xue Zhengying was struggling with.

"Really?" Xue Zhengying's eyes lit up slightly.

Wu Mingchang smiled slightly. As Spirit Power surged, the oppressive, tiger-shaped Spirit Manifestation once again manifested outside his body. He explained, "This is the Spirit Manifestation created by the Spirit Energy circuits after reaching the tenth stage of Body Cultivator techniques. It is also how we Body Cultivators seek the Law's power. If you use the Insect World power within your body to construct your own Spirit Manifestation, you might be able to achieve the effect of those tattooed youngsters through another method."

Upon hearing this, Xue Zhengying's eyes brightened. "But what about the Spirit Master side...?"

"It doesn't affect it," Wu Mingchang smiled slightly. "Body Cultivators can also control scrolls. It's just that after reaching a certain Realm, ordinary scrolls tend to become cumbersome and take too long to activate. It's better to just kick them directly."

As he spoke, he casually released a powerful Divine Tiger, precisely the Home Guardian Divine Tiger that Wu Xian had made for his grandfather back then.

Although it was only a bronze scroll seven-star Home Guardian Divine Tiger, the Aura displayed by this Home Guardian Divine Tiger painting spirit at this moment was incredibly astonishing.

From its Aura alone, it was even more formidable than Wei Huo Hu (Tail Fire Tiger), one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

So much so that Wu Xian, as the original creator, began to doubt if this was his own work. "Grandpa, you, you, you...?"

"You also saw that grandpa's Spirit Manifestation is also a fierce tiger, so in terms of Body Cultivator talent, there is a relatively high compatibility with tiger-type scrolls," Wu Mingchang explained.

"Body Cultivator Talent?" Wu Xian and everyone present were stunned.

Wang Fengnian chuckled and explained, "After Body Cultivators form a Spirit Manifestation, they can develop powerful innate characteristics, a type of innate characteristic that acts upon the human body itself."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in wonder, full of curiosity about Body Cultivators.

But Wu Xian vaguely figured something out.

The Body Cultivator's Spirit Manifestation felt somewhat akin to the painting spirit of a scroll, yet achieved through a different path.

To put it bluntly, Body Cultivators were not unable to use scrolls, but when their Body Cultivator abilities reached a certain level, the strength of ordinary scrolls could no longer keep up with the Body Cultivator's own combat power.

Or rather, it was precisely the Upper Realm's monopoly on black scroll Materials that limited the development of scrolls.

After all, a ten-stage Body Cultivator was already equivalent to a human-shaped black scroll, and a max-level one at that.

But now, black scrolls in the Lower Realm were extremely rare.

"But it seems that after undergoing human body scroll tattoos, one cannot use scrolls normally, right?" Xue Zhengying raised the crucial question.

"No, no, no, that's because their Cultivation path has just begun, and the power of their body and the scroll tattoo has not yet perfectly fused," Wu Mingchang explained. "But you are different. As long as you Cultivate Body Cultivator techniques with me, your future Spirit Manifestation will not have this defect."

At this point, Wu Xian and everyone present suddenly understood.

The Body Cultivator's Spirit Manifestation was, in fact, the ultimate form of Cultivation for tattoo warriors in the future.

"I see, are Body Cultivator Cultivation and scroll tattoo Cultivation essentially the same Cultivation path?" Wu Xian suddenly realized.

"You can understand it that way," Wu Mingchang nodded. "But tattoo scrolls also have their advantages."
