Chapter 31 Lin Ye in Action
Tang San: "..."
Damn it, if I hadn't reacted quickly, we would both be dead by now.
Tang San realized he had misunderstood Yu Xiaogang's strength. Is this what a Great Soul Master is? He's such a waste.
What kind of teacher did I end up with?!
The datura snake, having suffered a fatal wound, struggled for a while before reluctantly breathing its last breath.
Yellow specks of light floated up from the snake corpse, and these specks of light converged to form a hundred-year soul ring.
"Come here quickly, Xiao San! Your soul ring has been secured!" Yu Xiaogang shouted excitedly.
"Teacher, are you right about this snake?" Tang San asked.
Yu Xiaogang nodded and said seriously, "That's right. According to my research, a Soul Master's first Soul Ring can absorb Soul Beasts with a cultivation level of less than 423 years. This Mandragora Serpent has a cultivation level that is very close to 400 years, so it's perfect for you to use as your Soul Ring."
"Huh? Teacher, but my Blue Silver Grass martial soul is a plant. Can a plant martial soul absorb animal spirit rings?"
The fact that Tang San could ask such a question shows his intelligence. According to his logic, his Clear Sky Hammer spirit spirit probably can't find a spirit ring because there is no hammer spirit beast!
With a confident smile, Yu Xiaogang thought, "It's time for this master to shine again."
Then, Yu Xiaogang told Tang San about the theories he had plagiarized—no, I mean, the theories he had painstakingly researched, such as the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls, and the Martial Soul Mimicry Theory, and other such nonsense.
Tang San was once again impressed by Yu Xiaogang's knowledge.
Yu Xiaogang looked at his disciple with great interest and said, "Everyone treats my ten core competitive advantages of martial soul as a joke, and no one is willing to absorb different kinds of soul rings."
"Mistress, would you be willing to give it a try?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes held a glimmer of hope, like a lonely flame in the darkness.
Tang San couldn't bear to extinguish this last spark of hope. "Teacher, I'm willing. Your theory must be correct. Let me help you put it into practice."
Yu Xiaogang was immediately filled with relief. Seeing the century-old soul ring floating on the corpse of the Mandragora Snake, Yu Xiaogang was already a little impatient. "Xiao San, let's begin."
Tang San did as instructed, sat cross-legged on the spot, released his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and began to absorb the first soul ring of his life.
"Hmm..." A low groan came from Tang San's mouth, and his face was contorted in pain.
The energy of the spirit ring was even more domineering than he had imagined. Tang San felt as if a scorching magma was rushing into him. In an instant, his internal organs felt like they were burning, and his body trembled violently.
"Stay alert and focus on your martial spirit," Yu Xiaogang reminded him, his eyes fixed on Tang San, his heart pounding in his chest.
Theory is just theory; theory without practice is nothing more than empty talk.
Tang San, his disciple, became the first guinea pig to put his theories into practice. How could he not be nervous?
The key is that Tang San's identity is not simple, so we absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes.
Yu Xiaogang wasn't the only one paying attention to Tang San; Tang Hao, who was secretly watching as well, was also on his mind.
His son ran off to the Soul Hunting Forest to find a Soul Ring, but the master he apprenticed under was an unreliable and useless Great Soul Master. How could his father possibly worry?
As it turns out, Yu Xiaogang is truly incompetent and unreliable.
Fortunately, it was a close call, and the son resolved the crisis on his own.
"Um?"
Tang Hao suddenly turned his head, his face showing surprise and doubt. For some reason, he actually sensed a powerful aura from the central area of the Soul Hunting Forest, an aura belonging to a soul beast.
What? How could there be such a powerful soul beast in the Soul Hunting Forest? Tang Hao was very confused. If he wasn't mistaken, the soul beast's aura seemed to be close to 100,000 years old.
But where on earth did such a powerful soul beast come from in a place like the Soul Hunter Forest?
Tang Hao was completely baffled.
He didn't have time to think any further.
"Oh no, that soul beast is coming this way!" Tang Hao's face darkened. Could it be that his earlier exploration had alerted the soul beast?
No, we can't let it come any closer. The third one is still absorbing the spirit ring; we absolutely cannot let it interfere.
With that thought in mind, Tang San quickly headed towards the direction he sensed, intending to stop the uninvited guest.
At the scene, only Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and a dead giant snake remained.
Tang San's condition has stabilized, and to his delight, his Xuan Tian Gong, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally broke through during the process of fusing soul rings.
In that instant, Tang San felt as if he had ascended to the clouds, floating on air, and as if he had entered the pinnacle of bliss.
In comparison, Yu Xiaogang's situation is somewhat dire.
Yu Xiaogang pulled up the sleeve of his right arm and saw that it was more than three times larger than normal, and the skin was stretched and turned bright purple.
This is because Luo Sanpao was bitten by a datura snake before.
The Beast Spirit and its host are one; if Luo Sanpao is bitten, it is equivalent to Yu Xiaogang being bitten.
The datura snake is highly venomous, and Yu Xiaogang is currently experiencing a flare-up of its venom.
He took a strip of cloth, tied it around his right arm near his shoulder, and tightened it tightly to prevent the snake venom from flowing through his bloodstream to his entire body.
But it seemed he realized it was too late. Black smoke was creeping up his face, his body was getting weaker and weaker, his consciousness was gradually fading, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
Soon, Yu Xiaogang could no longer hold on and collapsed with a thud.
At this moment, several figures approached slowly from not far away. The three people and the cat were Lin Ye, Xiao Wu, Bing Di, and Lin Qiu'er.
The reason why Xue Di is not seen is because she went to distract Tang Hao.
Lin Ye didn't want Tang Hao to find out that he was the one who did it. It wasn't out of fear, but because he was worried that Tang Hao would run away with Tang San and hide everywhere, which would be disgusting.
Besides, isn't it nice to let the father and son live in a daze, constantly fearing for their lives? Hehehe...
Lin Ye was holding a small, half-dead snake in his hand. The snake was ten centimeters long, dark green all over, with a triangular head and lifeless scarlet eyes.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that this small snake looks exactly like the Datura snake that Tang San killed; to be precise, it is more like a miniature version of the Datura snake.
Yes, this is a juvenile mandrake.
Before a serpent reaches a thousand years of cultivation, it grows one centimeter in length for every year it lives. This little serpent is only 10 centimeters long, which means it is a soul beast with only 10 years of cultivation.
At this point, Tang San, who had absorbed the spirit ring, had already passed the most difficult stage.
He even showed a joyful and satisfied expression on his face because of his successful breakthrough in the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
Lin Ye was unaware of all this; Tang San only showed him his back.
Lin Ye was ruthless and didn't talk much. He went up and kicked Tang San in the back.
This kick was quite powerful. Due to the inertia, Tang San's body suddenly fell forward and landed face-first on the ground.
That wasn't the end of it. This sudden attack also interrupted the absorption of the spirit ring, causing the spirit ring energy to rampage through Tang San's body and severely damage his meridians.
