158 Chapter 157 Tang San feels that he can do it again (2 in 1)

Sunset Forest.

Under the wet and dark mountain wall, a dark green vine tens of metres long and the size of an adult's arm zigzagged and stretched, covered in white dragon eye-sized spores, most of which had already burst open, and white powder visible to the naked eye was fluttering in the wind.

At the side of the vine, Tang San sat cross-legged.

In a few moments, he slowly opened his eyes.

Clenching his fists, he instantly beamed with joy, getting up and walking towards Tang Hao, who was sitting on the carpet not far away.

After sitting with a flourish and glancing at Tang Hao, whose face was bland, the joy couldn't help but be restrained, and with a straight face, he took the initiative to speak, "Father, I have level 43 spirit power, it should be related to the fact that the medicinal power of the Ten Thousand Years Snow Lotus hadn't been completely refined before."

"Well, what about spirit skill?" Tang Hao finally spoke.

"Spore Blast." The corners of Tang San's mouth unconsciously curled, "The effect is spores will grow on the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, triggering an explosion by bumping into something, releasing spore dust with a strong poison. It should be possible to use it with other spirit skills, for example, pairing it with the second spirit skill Parasite and triggering it close to the body should be able to ensure that the opponent inhales the poison one hundred percent."

"Or paired with the third spirit skill, allowing the spore dust with poison to cover a wide area. However, the more spores condensed, the greater the consumption of spirit power."

"In addition..."

As he said that, his right palm spread out, and a white spore the size of a dragon's eye appeared in his hand as his spirit power converged.

"It is also possible to condense the spore individually like this, throw it out with your hand, and strike an enemy to trigger an explosion."

The disadvantage is that it would be triggered in advance by the opponent using various means, but that's not a big disadvantage for me. After all, I have the Tang Sect's hidden weapon technique. A hidden weapon that comes and goes without a trace and can turn corners is not easy to dodge. Tang San smiled faintly, his heart filled with confidence.

Large range poison attack means, he finally had it.

The spore dust that exploded out was also something that could be dispersed with the wind, enough to cover a huge range.

Moreover, the poison released was the toxin from the first four Spirit Rings iterated together, and the intensity was definitely not low.

It can also be used as a manipulative type hidden weapon, it's simply the perfect spirit skill.

Perhaps, when I become proficient in using it, I can also control the timing and intensity of the explosion. Inwardly, he secretly thought.

"Well, not bad." Tang Hao's tone was indifferent.

He actually didn't care much about what spirit skill his child might have attached to the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

As long as the spirit ring age is high enough, the basic attribute enhancement to the body isn't bad.

A plant martial soul is after all a plant martial soul, and the upper limit is still a bit worse. Even if it evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, in terms of offensive properties, it would still be far inferior to his own family's inherited martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. Waiting to cultivate to the Titled Douluo level and start attaching spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, that's the focus.

Now it was merely a transition.

Hearing this, Tang San smiled coyly as if encouraged.

A few days later, the two returned to Moon Pavilion.

"Level 43!" After hearing Tang San report his level, Tang Yuehua covered her luscious lips with a shocked expression.

Then she nodded her head with a beaming smile, "Good, good, worthy of being a child of our Tang family!"

After saying that, with a slight frown, she turned her head to look at Tang Hao, "Brother Hao, according to the information gathered recently, Dugu Bo has left the Skywalker Academy with Lin Manshan, going in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest. If my expectations aren't wrong, Lin Manshan should have broken through to Spirit Ancestor as well."

"And this year, counting this time, Dugu Bo has led the team out of Skywalker Academy a total of three times. That is to say, the Skywalker Battle Team has most likely added three new Spirit Ancestors this year. Based on the information they left at the Great Spirit Arena last year, I'm guessing that the other two should be Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuyu."

"And Zhu Zhuyun was a Spirit Ancestor two years ago, and now I'm afraid that she's not far from breaking through to Spirit King."

"Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan were Spirit Ancestors who just broke through last year, and now they're still some distance away from being Spirit Kings, but their Spirit Power shouldn't be lower than level 45."

"In this way, the Skywalker Battle Team will have 6 Spirit Ancestors, the hard power is the highest in the history of the Heaven Dou Empire's participating teams, the strength is not to be underestimated."

After saying that, a cold aura flashed in her eyes, Lin Manshan had a grudge against her nephew Tang San, the stronger the strength of the Skywalker Battle Team, the greater their threat to the Clear Sky Clan in the future.

However, there were two of them who would pose a threat as of now, Lin Manshan and Dugu Bo. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Martial Spirit Hall watching, and with the Clear Sky Clan's current situation, there was really no way to do anything about it... a trace of helplessness could not help but arise in her heart.

Six Spirit Ancestor... Tang San's face changed slightly, but once he thought about his fourth spirit ring being a ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring, and his spirit skill effects being top quality, he couldn't help but feel confident again.

So what if there are six Spirit Ancestors?

The poisonous spores that I condensed are spread using the Tang Sect's hidden weapon technique, so who can avoid them? Not to mention the fact that it can also explode and emit a poisonous mist that covers an extremely wide area. It's enough to ensure that every opponent inhales it in the arena.

If Lin Manshan catches it with his hand, he's asking for death!

Most importantly, my fourth spirit ring is 10,000 years old, and the poison toxicity attached to the Blue Silver Grass Soul is not low. Even if Lin Manshan is not poisoned immediately, his strength will be greatly reduced.

He would become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Moreover, the Nine Heart Flowering Apple Martial Soul could not detoxify the poison!

Thinking of this, he responded in a bland tone, "Auntie, why do you need to raise others' morale to extinguish our own?"

Saying this, he spoke out about the effects of his fourth spirit skill.

Tang Yuehua also brightened up after hearing this, nodding slightly, "With such a spirit skill, it's really hard to say who will win and who will lose."

"Alright." Tang Hao's flat voice sounded out, "Xiao San, you've been away from the academy long enough, it's time to go back."

"Hmm." Tang San nodded, his heartbeat unconsciously accelerating.

Having been away for a long time, he had long been unable to suppress his thoughts about Xiao Wu in his heart, itching to fly back and embrace Xiao Wu fiercely in his arms. Over the many months of wild life, the more time passed, the clearer the figure of Xiao Wu appeared in his mind, and the more frequent the instances became.

It was almost to the point where he thought about her day and night.

This also made him understand that the feelings between him and Xiao Wu were no longer limited to brother-sister love.

Rather, it was true love.

Xiao Wu is my love!

And we'll see each other in no time. Bidding farewell to Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua, Tang San couldn't wait to turn around and leave, closing the door behind him and running down the stairs with a loud thud.

Only then did Tang Hao finally reveal a shallow smile, his eyes filled with memories.

What about human beings? So what if it is a beast? The feelings of beasts are instead more sincere. He knew very well why his child was in a hurry.

When Tang San closed the door, Tang Yuehua, who was sitting on the opposite side of the room, suddenly spoke, "Brother Hao, the Strength Clan has relocated to the Heaven Dou Empire over the years and still honours you as their master, and their loyalty can be seen. Now that his spirit power has reached level 86, his battle power is not bad, do you want him?"

Tang Hao shook his head, "Let's leave this to Xiao San, it's also a test for him."

"That's fine, if Xiao San can take the Strength Clan under his wing, the elders will surely be impressed." Tang Yuehua smiled faintly.

"No!" Tang Hao's eyes flashed with an intense aura, "The test I'm talking about is the four great single-attribute clans."

"I'm afraid the difficulty of this isn't low." Tang Yuehua frowned slightly.

"I trust Xiao San." Tang Hao said indifferently.

"Well, I also believe in Xiao San." Tang Yuehua nodded with a smile.

***

Shortly after, Shrek Academy.

"Xiao Wu." Tang San's surprised shout suddenly rang out from the large training ground.

"Third brother!" Surprise flashed in the eyes of Xiao Wu, who was running for training, and her footsteps darted towards Tang San.

Scurrying into Tang San's arms.

"Third brother, I miss you so much!" After saying that, she raised her head to gaze, her eyes red, staring at Tang San's tanned face, heartache flashed in her eyes, and she said crisply, "Third brother, in the future, you're not allowed to leave me for so long."

"Xiao Wu, I miss you too." Feeling the softness in his arms, Tang San hastily nodded his head, "In the future, we will never be separated."

Never be separated. Xiao Wu gazed into his eyes, feeling the affection in them, and her pretty face couldn't help but flush.

Quickly burying her head into his arms, she softly mumbled something in a thin voice.

"???" Tai Long, who had rushed over with the team, frowned and turned his head towards Dai Mubai, lowering his voice, "Boss Dai, aren't Tang San and Xiao Wu brother and sister?"

"Yeah! Love brother and love sister, huh, you didn't notice that before?..." Dai Mubai turned his head and glanced at him.

"."

Tai Long instantly had flames in his eyes, quickening his pace and stomping to Tang San, shouting loudly.

"Tang San, I want to fight you one-on-one!"

"Tai Long, what are you doing!?" Xiao Wu's violent temper instantly flared up, and she turned her head to look at him angrily.

"Xiao Wu." Tang San frowned, "How many times have I told you to learn to curb your temper."

"No, Third Brother, ever since you left, this guy has been coming to court me every day, and he's been annoying me to death. If it wasn't for being a teammate in the same battle team, I would have punched him long ago." Xiao Wu turned her head back, pouting her small mouth, looking very aggrieved.

Hearing this, Tang San's brows instantly furrowed, if Xiao Wu was his sister earlier, then now Xiao Wu was his lover, so how could he allow the other opposite sexes to harass and profane? Glancing at the training ground, other than Qin Ming and a few team members, there was no one else. Anyway, the continent-wide Spirit Master Tournament was about to begin, and the spirit ring would be exposed sooner or later. Thinking of this, he let go of Xiao Wu's waist and took a step forward.

With a surge of spirit power, spirit rings spread out under his feet, and he faintly asked, "Are you sure?"

"Spirit Ancestor, the fourth spirit ring is ten thousand years old!!!" Tai Long's eyes instantly widened and his head shrunk.

The others on the ground were also stunned.

Did he consume an Immortal Herb? Ning Rongrong covered her cherry lips with her small hand, her eyes flickering with light.

"Xiao San, it's only been eight months since you left, and you've actually broken through to Spirit Ancestor Level. Moreover, your fourth spirit ring is still 10,000 years old, how did you do it?" Although he had a guess in his heart, Dai Mubai, who walked up, couldn't help but voice the question in his heart.

"Cough, this isn't the place to talk, everyone let's go back to the dormitory first." Qin Ming coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, "You guys go back first, I'll go call the dean and the Master over, Xiao San has been away for many months, it's just time for everyone to get together."

"Alright." Tang San retrieved his spirit rings and nodded slightly.

Reaching out, he held Xiao Wu's five fingers and walked towards the dormitory, and the rest of the people followed along at the same pace.

Not long after, the crowd gathered in the dormitory.

"Master!" Looking at Yu Xiaogang who walked through the door, Tang San who was being held by Xiao Wu's arm stretched out his other hand and lightly called out, at the same time his eyes flashed with surprise, after not seeing him for a few months, Yu Xiaogang's body had obviously gained some weight, his skin had become whiter, and his beard had been cleanly shaved.

It is that the eyes are a little sunken, looks like his mental state is not very good.

Glancing at Liu Erlong, who was wearing a long skirt and women's dress on the side with his spare glance, Tang San was enlightened.

A smile immediately climbed on his face.

"Xiao San, you've finally returned."

Flender spoke with the same bravado, striding forward, glancing at Xiao Wu who held Tang San's hand and refused to let go with his afterglow, his eyebrows raised, his tone was flirtatious, "Yo, you seem to be getting the hang of it." With that, he put his bum on the sofa, sidling over and lowering his voice to ask, "I just heard Qin Ming say that you broke through to the Spirit Ancestor, still the fourth spirit ring is ten thousand years old?"

"Hmm." Tang San nodded, "By chance, I obtained a ten thousand-year-old snow lotus."

"Ten thousand year snow lotus!" Ning Rongrong was surprised, "This age is only worse than the legendary Immortal Grass."

It should have been found with the help of the Clear Sky Clan, whose secluded residence was located in the Snowy Mountains. She inwardly thought.

"This luck is too good." Ma Hongjun was envious.

"Quickly tell me, what kind of spirit beast was hunted? What kind of spirit skill did you get?" Flender asked with great vigour.

"Less than 11,000 years old Split Pod Devil Vine, the spirit skill is Spore Blast." Tang San smiled as he recounted, and after finishing, he glanced at Yu Xiaogang, whose eyes were a bit dark, and continued, "My father said that the soul of 10,000-year-old spirit beasts wouldn't dissipate immediately after death and that there would be a soul residue lodged within the spirit ring, causing a spiritual impact on the spirit master who absorbed it. According to my experience, it should be the spirit beast's undissolved resentment."

"It is indeed the case, when I absorbed the fifth spirit ring back then, I felt a tyrannical and grim aura rushing straight to my head, and my first experience was very unpleasant." Flender nodded his head, and after finishing, he hurriedly asked in pursuit, "Xiao San, how did you get through it?"

"My father said that the spiritual intelligence of plant-based spirit beasts is generally harder to form than animal-based spirit beasts, even if their cultivation reaches 10,000 years, their spiritual intelligence is very low, so the soul residue after death is much less, and the spiritual impact is relatively meek and weak, unlike the tyrannical nature of animal-based spirit beasts." Tang San nodded slightly, half-truthfully saying, "And after I received my father's special training, my willpower is quite resilient."

Yu Xiaogang, who was sitting on the other side of Flender, nodded, interjecting in a slightly raspy voice in search of presence, "The Split Pod Devil Vine is a kind of poison-attribute plant-based spirit beast on the upper end of the quality scale, with an age of close to 11,000 years, it's indeed a good choice."

"If we were to hunt an animal lineage spirit beast of the same quality, I'm afraid it would be dangerous to absorb the spirit ring. And if you want to be absolutely safe, you can only choose to hunt those with a more docile character and poorer bloodline quality, and the years of age will have to be slightly reduced, so the price-performance ratio will undoubtedly be greatly reduced."

Even though his body was crippled, and he suffered the scorn of his clan, his pursuit remained unchanged. He wanted to prove to the world that it was the world that was wrong, not him! He was not a waste!

"Master's words are true." Tang San smiled and nodded, "I thought the same thing at the time."

"In addition, the reason I chose to hunt the Split Pod Devil Vine was also to prepare for the next Spirit Master Tournament. Now that I have the fourth spirit skill, Spore Blast, I can use it in conjunction with the second and third spirit skills and my hidden weapon techniques. I have absolute confidence that no one can dodge it."

"And once the poison is absorbed, our opponents will at least have their battle power greatly reduced."

After saying that, he looked around at his teammates, "My goal is still the same as before, there is only one, and that is the champion!"

"I believe that everyone is sharing the same thoughts as me."

After a few months of Tang Hao's special training, Xiao San has matured quite a bit. Flender was overjoyed inwardly, before he had always felt that the battle team's hard power was insufficient, and it would be difficult for them to achieve good results in the next Spirit Master Tournament. But now Tang San's strength soared, and he also gained a superb spirit skill, plus Ning Rongrong's assistance, the overall strength of the team undoubtedly drifted higher by several levels.

The day for Shrek to become famous in the world is just around the corner.

"Hehehe, champion, who doesn't want it." Ma Hongjun said with a soaring mood.

"That's right. It's true," The crowd responded in agreement.

A control system spirit master with the 10,000-year-old fourth spirit ring suddenly appeared in the team, this was undoubtedly an uplifting piece of news.

"In that case, in the next few days, Master and I will discuss a few more tactics based on Xiao San's fourth spirit skill." The pragmatic Qin Ming looked at the enthusiastic teammates and said with a smile, "Especially against the veteran battle teams like Blazing Academy and Godwind Academy."

"Flames have a restraining effect on poisonous fog, and the wind can blow away the poisonous fog, we still have to be cautious."

"Then I'll trouble Teacher Qin Ming and the other teachers." Tang San smiled gently.

The current Tang San wasn't simple. Ning Rongrong had a smile on her face, her eyes flickering, a hint of anticipation rising within her heart. Tang San had indeed become stronger, but how could Lin Manshan not be? The two of them would meet again in the arena, so who would win and who would lose?

It really makes people look forward to it.

In addition, Spirit Hall Battle Team, I'm afraid this year they won't be simple either. Ning Rongrong sighed inwardly.

According to the news that I got at home recently, Ghost Douluo had come back.

He had already stayed at the Heaven Dou City Saint Spirit Hall for several days and hadn't left yet, and it was assumed that he had again gathered enough medicinal herbs to come and find Lin Manshan to help refine the pills. This was already the third time; if all three times the pills refined were taken by the members of the Spirit Hall Battle Team.

Then the strength of this session's Spirit Hall Battle Team was simply unimaginable to her.

Glancing at Tang San with her afterglow, she really only wanted to say one thing at this time, courageous!

Champion, how could it be so easy to get?

In the present Skywalker Battle Team, there are at least six Spirit Ancestors, and when the Spirit Master Tournament starts in a few months, there might even be Spirit Kings. As for the Spirit Hall, more than four high-ranked Spirit Ancestors were competing in every session. With Lin Manshan's elixir this term, maybe a Spirit King or two would even pop up. On the other hand, in the Shrek Battle Team, except for Dai Mubai and Tang San who are Spirit Ancestors, the other team members are all Spirit Elders.

With such hard power in front of us, it's not like a 10,000-year-old spirit ring can solve all the problems.

Of course, words that affected morale and unity certainly couldn't be said.

"Let's go! The academy is paying for reimbursement today, I'll take you all out to feast and celebrate Xiao San's return." Flender rose to his feet briskly, glancing at Tang San and Xiao Wu with his afterglow, waving his hand, "By the way, we'll also celebrate that a certain kid finally got the hang of things and hugged a beautiful woman."

"Dean, I'll ignore you." Xiao Wu smoked out on the spot, skimming her lips and grunting softly.

Tang San felt his old face redden as well.

Flender was then satisfied with this scene, waving his sleeves once and turning around to lead the way like he had accomplished his mission.

"Xiao San, congratulations, congratulations," The crowd of the original Shrek Battle Team immediately cheered.

Oscar glanced at Ning Rongrong with his afterglow, his gaze dimming for a moment.

Following the crowd, he got up and followed suit.
