Changes in the Chaos Pearl

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful sense of unease surged in Grandmaster's heart. He suddenly looked up and saw two familiar figures appear before him like ghosts.

Grandmaster's expression instantly turned extremely grim as he said in a slightly trembling voice,

"You two are Titled Douluo, yet you were actually eavesdropping!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who had doubled back, wore amused smiles at Yu Xiaogang's accusation. A mocking look appeared on Yue Guan's effeminate face as he replied leisurely.

"Eavesdropping? Hmph, that's an interesting thing to say. Is this Soul Hunting Forest your family's property or something?"

At that moment, Gui Mei, standing beside him, said flatly,

"Chrysanthemum Pass, stop wasting time."

"Fine, I know." After responding, Yue Guan suddenly turned his gaze toward Tang San. A strange smile appeared on his face as he spoke.

"Kid, I didn't expect you to have Twin Martial Souls. You nearly got away with it. Release your other Martial Soul."

Grandmaster's heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth as he said,

"Don't go too far! You've already destroyed one of his Martial Souls. Are you really going to be this ruthless?"

At those words, Yue Guan's expression darkened. He raised his hand and slapped Grandmaster across the face. The blow was incredibly forceful, sending Yu Xiaogang flying a great distance before he crashed heavily into a thick tree trunk. His throat sweetened, and in the next instant, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Whether it came from the injury or his fury, no one could say.

Yue Guan merely glanced at him, and after confirming he had not killed him, turned his gaze back to Tang San and said in a sinister tone,

"Kid, quit dawdling. If you don't release your second Martial Soul now, I'll kill you." As he spoke, Soul Power surged from Yue Guan's body, and a powerful oppressive aura spread out like a tidal wave.

Under the suppression of a Titled Douluo's Soul Power, Tang San, whose Martial Soul had only just awakened, had no ability to resist. He raised his left hand, and with a flash of black light, an ancient-looking black hammer slowly appeared in his palm.

The moment they truly saw the Clear Sky Hammer, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were both somewhat shocked.

After reading that book, they had learned of the power of Twin Martial Souls. The reason the Pope, Bibi Dong, cultivated so quickly was not merely due to her talent; the Twin Martial Souls likely played a role as well.

Innate Full Soul Power meant that one could become a Titled Douluo through ordinary cultivation alone.

Perhaps a newly advanced Titled Douluo was not particularly powerful, as that depended on the quality of one's Martial Soul, but Twin Martial Souls were different.

Once one became a Titled Douluo, the body would essentially be strong enough. At that point, one could attach Soul Rings to the second Martial Soul. Absorbing Soul Rings could greatly increase a Soul Master's Soul Power. After becoming a Titled Douluo, absorbing another nine Soul Rings, even in the worst case, would allow one to reach above level ninety-seven.

Just imagine it: the second Martial Soul's Soul Rings would all be Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings at minimum. What an unimaginable Soul Ring configuration that would be.

Sensing the killing intent in Yue Guan's eyes, Gui Mei could not help reminding him,

"Chrysanthemum Pass, don't forget Your Excellency's orders."

Yue Guan's heart jolted, and he came back to his senses. With a raise of his hand, a black ant was drawn over.

"Kid, consider yourself lucky. Absorb this Soul Beast, and I can spare your life."

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Do not look down on a poor young man!

You have forced me like this today. You have already chosen the path to death!

But now, he was only a level-ten Soul Master. Facing two Titled Douluo, there was nothing he could do.

Either absorb this worthless Soul Ring or die. Left with no other choice, Tang San could only take out a dagger and sever the ant. A faint white Soul Ring slowly emerged. Suppressing the humiliation and resentment in his heart, he sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

The absorption process was far too smooth. The Soul Power provided by a two-year Soul Ring was practically unnoticeable to Tang San, who possessed Innate Full Soul Power. Even after absorbing two Soul Rings, his Soul Power Level had not even risen to eleven.

"Now, you can let us go, right?" Tang San said calmly.

Unexpectedly, even under such circumstances, this child called Tang San could remain calm. If this boy was not eliminated, he would surely become a great threat to Spirit Hall in the future! Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, His Majesty would not allow them to act against Tang San yet. Otherwise, sigh.

What Yue Guan did not know was that Tang Hao was watching this scene from afar with his eyes split wide in fury. If Yue Guan had not said that he merely wanted Tang San to absorb a low-level Soul Ring rather than directly kill him, Tang Hao would have charged out long ago even with his severely injured body.

With a sigh, Yue Guan said nothing more. Instead, he slowly walked toward Grandmaster.

"Y-you, what else do you want to do?!"

"Don't be afraid. I'm merely delivering something to you on orders." Yue Guan smiled faintly, and a book appeared out of thin air in his hand. He casually flipped through several pages, found the pages he needed, and tore them out.

After tossing the incomplete book onto Grandmaster, Yue Guan said nothing further and left with Gui Mei.

Tang San watched their departing backs, a fierce killing intent flashing through his eyes.

After leaving, Gui Mei could not help asking,

"Tell me, what was that thing you just tore out?"

Yue Guan casually handed the sheets of paper to him.

"Here. See for yourself."

"Methods for cultivating multiple Martial Souls." Gui Mei understood after taking only one glance. This would prevent him from trapping himself in a cocoon, while also giving Bibi Dong an explanation. He truly did not know what was so good about that trash Yu Xiaogang. After all these years, His Majesty still kept thinking about him.

"By the way, aren't you afraid Your Excellency will punish you if you don't give those things to Yu Xiaogang?"

"He's trash. What's the use of giving him those cultivation resources? They might as well go to Nana and the others." Yue Guan's expression remained calm. "Besides, if you don't tell and I don't tell, how could Your Excellency possibly find out?"

As he said this, the two of them suddenly turned their gazes toward the distant horizon at the same time.

The sky there, which had originally been clear, was now covered in dark clouds as thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. Though they were thousands of miles away, merely feeling the might of that lightning left both of them horrified!

"This is... a Lightning Tribulation!"

"Could it be that a Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest is undergoing a heavenly tribulation?"

"The Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Oh no, Your Excellency seems to be there. Let's go!"

At this moment, in the inner region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ye Xinyu sat cross-legged. Although her first Soul Ring was a thousand-year one, placing some pressure on her body, she did not know whether it was due to the Whale Rubber or some other reason, but she absorbed it exceptionally smoothly. The thousand-year Soul Ring had long since been completely absorbed.

However, once she had fully absorbed the Soul Ring, the Chaos Pearl that had originally lain dormant within her body underwent an abnormal change and emerged from her body beyond her control.

The Orb floated before her, surrounded by Chaos Qi so dense it was nearly tangible. Bibi Dong, who had been guarding nearby, was startled at the sight. Even she involuntarily took a step back as she felt that terrifying aura.

Suddenly, the Chaos Pearl shuddered violently, and the Chaos Qi that had been slowly circulating instantly became turbulent and surging. Immediately afterward, a hazy purple aura slowly flowed out of the Chaos Pearl.

The instant the Purple Stream appeared, the entire sky darkened. Dark clouds churned as lightning flashed and thunder roared. Heavy thunderclouds began to billow violently, countless bolts of lightning brewing within them. It was as though this stream should not exist in this world, and so the heavens had sent down a Lightning Tribulation to destroy it!
