Chapter 38 Bloodthorn's Path to Death
"Tang San, you're so foolish!"
Yu Xiaogang said to Tang San with a pained expression.
"I know you're a bit too eager for quick success, but you can't be this eager! Do you know that this isn't a six-hundred-year soul ring, it's a nine-hundred-year soul ring!"
"I...I know..."
"Smack!"
Before Tang San could finish speaking, Yu Xiaogang slapped him hard across the face again.
Yu Xiaogang's anger erupted at this moment, and his voice was almost a roar: "You know that, yet you still insist on absorbing it. My martial soul theory clearly states that the absorption limit for the first soul ring is four hundred and twenty-three years. Have you even read my theory properly?!"
Yu Xiaogang's theory of martial spirits is the culmination of his life's work and his profound understanding and research into the world of soul masters.
He had repeatedly emphasized to Tang San that he must carefully study his theory, after all, his theory of martial soul was absolutely correct!
You have to understand that Tang San used it to prove his own martial soul theory. If something were to happen to Tang San, then there would be no one to prove his martial soul theory. If the theory cannot be verified by practice, then all his efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, no matter what, Yu Xiaogang would not allow Tang San to absorb a nine-hundred-year-old soul ring.
Having been slapped twice by the master, Tang San was furious. For tens of thousands of years! Ever since Tang San became the God King, no one had dared to speak loudly to him, let alone be slapped twice in a row.
A hint of killing intent involuntarily flashed in Tang San's eyes. If the person in front of him was not his teacher Yu Xiaogang, Tang San would probably have shot him to death long ago, leaving him no chance of survival.
Yu Xiaogang seemed to sense Tang San's killing intent as well: "Xiao San, what, what are you trying to do?"
Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled slightly, clearly startled by Tang San's murderous gaze.
Tang San didn't answer. He simply shifted his gaze away from Yu Xiaogang, turned around, and resolutely walked towards Bloodthorn. He was determined to have this soul beast.
However, just after Tang San took a few steps, Yu Xiaogang suddenly pounced on him and hugged him tightly from behind, stopping him from moving forward.
"Xiao San, you absolutely cannot absorb a nine-hundred-year-old soul beast. Your current body simply cannot withstand it."
Yu Xiaogang was so emotional that he cried uncontrollably, tears and snot all of which smeared Tang San's shoulder.
"Let go of me!"
Tang San's voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
Tang San was furious when he saw that his only decent school uniform was now a mess of tears and snot from Yu Xiaogang.
I wonder why I never realized in my past life that Yu Xiaogang is such an idiot.
"I won't let you go, you mistress! I'm doing this for your own good!"
Yu Xiaogang held Tang San tightly, refusing to let go, his voice trembling with tears, "If anything happens to you, what will your teacher do! Can't you just listen to your teacher?!"
"Shut the hell up!"
Enraged, Tang San struck Yu Xiaogang squarely on the neck, causing the latter to collapse to the ground.
It wasn't until he saw the unconscious Yu Xiaogang that Tang San snapped out of his rage.
"Strange, why are my emotions fluctuating so much? Logically speaking, I shouldn't be unable to control my emotions. Never mind, I should deal with the ghost vine in front of me first."
However, looking at the Bloodthorn in front of him, Tang San was indeed in a dilemma. After all, he had promised Xiao Wu that he would only hunt evil soul beasts. Although the Bloodthorn in front of him was a bit ugly, it was not doing anything evil. If he killed the Ghost Vine, wouldn't that be breaking his vow?
After careful consideration, Tang San gradually formed a plan in his mind.
He quickly darted into the nearby bushes, and after searching for a while, he found a fluffy, snow-white little rabbit in his hand.
This little rabbit looks very cute, with bright red eyes and ears standing up high, appearing somewhat panicked.
Without hesitation, Tang San quickly tossed the little rabbit toward the Bloodthorn not far away.
As the little rabbit ran over in a panic, the thorny tendrils quickly stretched out, like flexible tentacles, and tightly wrapped around the poor little rabbit.
Seeing Bloodthorn attack the little rabbit, Tang San immediately jumped out of the bushes and righteously rebuked, "You audacious Bloodthorn, how dare you bully other soul beasts here! This behavior is simply outrageous! You deserve to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an exquisitely crafted Zhuge Crossbow appeared in Tang San's hand. In this life, because Tang San possessed the divine consciousness of a God King, he had become even more powerful and had successfully created the Zhuge Crossbow, which ranked fifth among the Tang Sect's hidden weapons.
The Zhuge Crossbow, capable of instantly killing a Soul Master, is also a strong support for Tang San's courage to challenge a 900-year-old Soul Beast.
Tang San swiftly drew back the bowstring of the Zhuge Crossbow, and bursts of cold light shot towards the roots of the Bloodthorn. Like meteors, the flashes of light accurately struck the roots, causing countless red sap droplets to explode, instantly corroding the ground and sending plumes of white smoke rising.
The roots and stems of the Bloodthorn contain many deadly venoms. Once these venoms come into contact with air, they quickly evaporate, forming a highly toxic gas. This gas is extremely dangerous to both humans and spirit beasts.
However, these venoms were nothing to Tang San, after all, when it came to playing with poison, Tang San was the master.
Bloodthorn instantly noticed Tang San's attack and began to wrap its vines around him. However, Tang San simply sneered at these attacks, completely disregarding Bloodthorn's assault.
"Even the water in the ditch dares to compete with the sun and moon. It is your honor that I, Tang San, want your soul ring. But you dare to resist, which is a great act of treason. You deserve to die."
After speaking, Tang San's figure transformed into a phantom, using the Tang Sect's ultimate technique, Ghost Shadow Illusion.
Then, thick strands of Blue Silver Grass sprouted directly from the ground, tightly binding all the Bloodthorn vines like pythons.
"It's time to end this!"
As Tang San spoke, the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his left hand and slammed it down hard on the Bloodthorn.
Bloodthorn, already in grave danger from Tang San's attack, was struck by another heavy blow and was sent to its death by Tang San. A soul ring radiating a deep yellow light immediately appeared on Bloodthorn's body.
Looking at the spirit ring before him, Tang San was filled with indescribable joy. He quickly sat cross-legged next to the Bloodthorn and began to guide the yellow spirit ring into his body.
Time passed quietly as Tang San focused intently on absorbing the energy of the spirit ring. In less than an hour, he had already completed the absorption of the spirit ring.
The process went even more smoothly than he had imagined; he could even feel the surging soul power within his body.
Because his first spirit ring absorbed 900 years' worth of energy, Tang San's spirit power level jumped directly to level fifteen! This was two levels higher than his previous life.
At this exciting moment, Yu Xiaogang, who had been coaxed to sleep by Tang San, also slowly woke up.
Yu Xiaogang, who had just stood up, wanted to continue to give Tang San a stern reprimand. However, before he could speak, the yellow spirit ring that floated up under Tang San's feet and the corpse of Bloodthorn came into his view.
"Little Third, you...you actually succeeded? You actually succeeded in absorbing a nine-hundred-year-old soul beast!"
