Gravity Control

Gula seized on the key point and stroked the blue hat on his head. "Wait, Little San, did you just say you can heal without using your Soul Power?"

Tang San did not understand why, but he nodded. "Yes. The Blue Silver Lurantis Crown can remain for half an hour. During that time, any Soul Power can be converted into Life Force, though the conversion ratio differs."

Tang Hao seemed to have Thought of something as well and urgently asked, "Does the soul skill have a range limit?"

Tang San closed his eyes to sense it for a moment, then Shook Head. "There's no range limit. As long as the Blue Silver Lurantis Crown exists, it doesn't need the martial soul to maintain a connection. It can convert Soul Power on its own."

"So that's how it is."

Tang Hao's Corner of the Mouth trembled uncontrollably. He excitedly thought that once Tang San became a Title Douluo, he alone could raise an army that feared no death.

As long as their Soul Power was not depleted, they could keep receiving treatment. Then, revenge against Spirit Hall would finally be within reach!

Gula pondered aloud, "It feels somewhat like a Food Type martial soul. The difference is that it doesn't need to be eaten, and it can even provide Soul Power to heal itself."

He did not know whether it was an illusion, but Gula always felt that Tang San's ability to obtain such an overpowered soul skill was Related to being acknowledged as a "tamed" Pokémon.

"How powerful a Healing Type soul skill is still depends on its healing efficiency. Little San's First Soul Skill is currently a sustained healing skill. It can usually be used to train the body and prevent muscle injuries from overtraining."

"Little San, train your body with me for the next two months!"

Gula gave a thumbs-up, flashing his gleaming white teeth as he issued an enthusiastic invitation.

Tang San Looked at Tang Hao. Seeing that he did not object, he nodded heavily. "All right, Brother Gu. Let's cultivate together and become powerful Soul Masters as soon as possible!"

"Good." Gula and Tang San clapped hands to seal their agreement. The youths' shadows stretched beneath the sunlight, extending deep into the forest.

Tang Hao watched the two make their agreement with relief. "Gula, you know a lot. You'll have to take better care of Little San from now on. And Little San, you must cultivate diligently and listen more to Gula's advice."

"I'll take good care of Little San." Gula nodded in promise.

"I will, Dad." Tang San agreed solemnly.

"Mm."

Tang Hao gave a slight nod. "Little Gu needs a Vigorous Vajra Bear for his First Soul Ring. There was a bear's roar In the Distance just now. Let's go take a look."

Gula froze. He had not heard any bear roar. Then he understood—under the enhancement of Soul Power, a Title Douluo's hearing was certainly far keener than his.

Thus, the three set off toward the depths of the forest. Dense canopies blocked much of the sunlight, leaving the forest air cool. A faint breeze carried a trace of blood from afar, along with muffled sounds of battle.

"Someone's there."

Gula slowed his pace and looked at Tang Hao together with Tang San.

Tang Hao's expression did not change as he continued forward. "Don't worry."

After walking roughly two hundred meters and leaving the woods, their view suddenly opened up. What Met the Eye was a low hill with gentle terrain, covered in all kinds of trees and weeds.

At the foot of the hill, five Soul Masters were confronting a Vigorous Vajra Bear. Nearby lay another Soul Master and a battered bear-type soul beast covered in wounds.

Gula lowered his voice. "The soul beast on the ground is huge and powerfully built, with coarse fur. It's an Earth Savage Bear, an Earth Attribute bear-type soul beast. It may be the Vigorous Vajra Bear's mate."

"Those people killed the Earth Savage Bear to absorb its soul ring, but the Vigorous Vajra Bear returned and directly killed the Soul Master who was absorbing it."

Tang Hao was greatly surprised. Gula had actually inferred the entire course of events at a glance from the scene alone. He truly was the genius Tang Hao had taken a liking to.

"Little San, Little Gu, today I'll teach you a principle: when facing a soul beast that has killed humans, no matter the reason, you must never show mercy."

Tang Hao had no pity for soul beasts. He feared that the two children might not be able to accept it.

But his worry was entirely unnecessary. Tang San had killed no fewer people in his previous life than Tang Hao had, so it was impossible for him to pity soul beasts.

After transmigrating, Gula had already prepared himself mentally. He would be even less likely to show mercy.

Besides, although the Vigorous Vajra Bear before them was avenging its mate, both of its claws were covered in blood. Its face was savage and its appearance ferocious. It gave Gula no reason whatsoever to soften his heart.

When the captain of the Soul Hunting Team saw Tang Hao's group, delight appeared on his face. Their strongest member was only a Three-Ring Soul Elder. Their client had been killed in a Sneak Attack, all five of them were wounded, and their Soul Power was severely depleted.

Even their strongest attacks could not break the Vigorous Vajra Bear's defense. They could only rely on Tacit Understanding and their speed advantage to stall for time, and the two sides had been locked in a prolonged standoff.

If this continued, the Vigorous Vajra Bear, with its greater endurance, would certainly win. All of them would die here.

"Friends over there, give us a hand! The Gale Soul Hunting Group will definitely give you a satisfactory reward!"

"Stay where you are. Don't move."

Tang Hao left those words behind and stepped forward. No one saw how he moved, but he suddenly appeared beside the Thousand-Year Vigorous Vajra Bear, raised his Right Hand, and viciously slapped it.

Bang!

The Vigorous Vajra Bear crashed into the ground. Its iron-hard fur might as well not have existed as the sound of its spine breaking rang out.

The Vigorous Vajra Bear instantly lost all Combat Power. It lay on the ground, taking in more air than it breathed out, clearly on the verge of death.

"Leave your Gold Coins and Storage Soul Tools behind, then get lost."

Tang Hao spoke indifferently, demanding payment for his intervention.

The five had narrowly escaped death. Seeing Tang Hao severely wound the Vigorous Vajra Bear with a single blow, as though it took no effort at all, how could they dare to bargain?

They did not even dare lift their heads. One after another, they took out their Gold Coins and placed them on the ground before scrambling away toward the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest.

A trace of disappointment Flashed in Tang Hao's In the Eyes. He had originally thought that if any of them dared to raise their heads and see his face, he would simply kill them to silence them.

Now, it seemed he would have to make a trip afterward. He could not leave behind any risk.

"Little Gu, come absorb the soul ring. Remember what I said—don't force yourself."

Tang Hao turned and reminded Gula, giving no sign of the dangerous thoughts he harbored in his heart.

"I understand, Uncle Tang."

Gula took the Dagger Tang San handed him, aimed it at the Vigorous Vajra Bear's eye socket, and drove it in hard, twisting the Dagger to destroy its brain.

The Vigorous Vajra Bear's breathing stopped, ending its suffering. Above its corpse, a Purple Soul Ring slowly condensed.

Gula sat cross-legged on the ground and circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill. The Groudon Martial Soul appeared behind him, pulling the Thousand-Year Soul Ring down onto the Martial Soul.
