God King Tang Chuan Tricks Tang San into Absorbing a Ten-Year Soul Ring

Soul Hunting Forest was an artificially maintained soul beast forest spanning nearly several dozen li.

At the entrance stood a dense grove. Sunlight streamed through gaps in the leaves, forming shafts of golden light. There was also an enormous stone stele at the entrance, engraved with the four words, "Soul Hunting Forest."

After entering Soul Hunting Forest, one would see a winding path. Tall trees lined both sides, their lush branches and leaves forming a green ocean. Clear streams also babbled through the forest, their waters transparent enough to reveal the sand, stones, and small fish beneath.

Soul Hunting Forest also contained habitats for many different kinds of soul beasts, each with its own unique scenery and characteristics.

Some habitats were dense forests, some were open grasslands, and others were swamplands.

Tang San, Tang Chuan, and Yu Xiaogang all moved cautiously along the outskirts of the forest.

Yu Xiaogang had no idea where he had found the courage to bring Tang San and Tang Chuan here alone to hunt soul rings.

"Teacher, what kind of soul ring are we here to obtain?"

Tang San's eyes held a trace of confusion. After all, his Mysterious Heaven Skill had been stuck for two or three years. Perhaps after absorbing a soul ring, he would be able to break through the first level of his Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Meanwhile, seeing how foolish his former self had been, Tang Chuan was utterly delighted.

He had no intention of showing his former self any mercy. After all, this world only needed one pure and spotless Tang God King!

As for why he had not attacked Tang San all this time, it was because of their father, Tang Hao.

He knew full well that his father was watching them from the shadows, protecting their safety. Therefore, he absolutely could not reveal any flaw!

However, he could use his teacher to weaken the overall strength of his former self!

"A level-ten soul master can only absorb ten-year or hundred-year soul rings. But as my disciples, I naturally hope that you can absorb hundred-year soul rings."

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he pushed aside the surrounding brush.

Most of the soul beasts in Soul Hunting Forest were hundred-year-level creatures. But with Yu Xiaogang's strength, let alone protecting Tang San and Tang Chuan, even protecting himself would probably be difficult.

Luo San Pao checked ahead for traces of soul beasts, while Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Tang Chuan kept advancing from behind.

Very soon, a sharp gleam flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes!

Because he had spotted a soul ring that was highly suitable for Tang San and Tang Chuan!

Deep in the forest, a Solitary Bamboo nearly ten meters tall stood in the middle of the trees. With Yu Xiaogang's vast knowledge, he recognized at a glance that it was a Plant Element soul beast.

A Solitary Bamboo, and one that was nearly a hundred years old!

It was an excellent fit for Tang San and Tang Chuan!

"Teacher, this is?"

Tang San was deeply puzzled. Why had his teacher stopped in front of a stalk of bamboo?

"Little San, this is a Solitary Bamboo. Its quality is already quite good for this forest, and it is highly compatible with your Martial Soul!"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, a sharp gleam also appeared in Tang San's eyes. A soul beast highly compatible with his Martial Soul!

"Really, Teacher?"

Seeing Tang San's excited expression, Tang Chuan had already made his plans.

"Yes, but in my judgment, it is only a ninety-nine-year Plant Element soul beast. It has not reached the hundred-year level, which is rather unfortunate."

Yu Xiaogang had intended to get Tang San and Tang Chuan each a hundred-year soul ring. He had thought this was a hundred-year Solitary Bamboo, only to discover that its age fell short.

The moment Tang Chuan heard Yu Xiaogang's words, he began scheming.

"Teacher, this journey has been fraught with danger. Most of the soul beasts inside are difficult to deal with, and we have already encountered several corpses. How about we give this soul ring to Little San? Later, after I fuse with another soul ring, we can leave this place."

Tang Chuan's words were filled with sincerity. He knew very well that they would soon encounter a Hundred Year Mandrill Snake.

Yu Xiaogang nodded as well, believing Tang Chuan's words made sense.

That was right. Although Soul Hunting Forest only contained hundred-year soul beasts, many people still died here every day!

Rather than allowing these two disciples with Innate Full Soul Power to obtain better soul rings, he would rather make it back alive!

Besides, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could only cultivate to level thirty. His original intention had been to have Tang San directly cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer after level thirty.

That way, Tang San's first Clear Sky Hammer ring would be purple, and by his third ring, he could even attach a black ten-thousand-year soul ring!

Tang Hao was his idol, because Tang Hao had killed Qian Xunji all by himself back then! He had avenged Yu Xiaogang's blood feud!

Now, Yu Xiaogang's purpose in cultivating Tang San and Tang Chuan was to take revenge on his other enemy: Bibi Dong, who had reduced him to this miserable state!

He wanted to return every bit of the suffering he had endured to Bibi Dong!

"Mm, Xiao Chuan is right. Although a ninety-nine-year soul ring is slightly inferior to a hundred-year one, it is safer to absorb."

After hearing his teacher's definite reply,

Tang San was deeply moved by his brother Tang Chuan's selflessness. At last, he understood who would treat him well in times of danger.

It was his brother, Tang Chuan!

"Thank you, Brother! Thank you, Teacher!"

Tang San drew a dagger, flashed forward, and directly severed the ninety-nine-year Solitary Bamboo.

As a soul ring tinged with yellow amidst its white glow emerged from the hundred-year Solitary Bamboo, Tang San began absorbing it.

When Tang Chuan saw this, the corners of his mouth curved into a strange smile. That's more like it. This was what his former self, his stepping stone, should be doing.

This way, the four-hundred-year Mandala Snake they encountered later would definitely be his for the taking!

And his foolish little brother could go eat dirt in the future!

About a quarter of an hour later, Tang San finished absorbing it.

"Teacher, I broke through to level eleven!"

Tang San's face was full of excitement. It was not only his Soul Power—his Mysterious Heaven Skill had also broken through the first level!

"Mm! You are your teacher's pride!"

"Not bad, little brother. Keep it up!"

Yu Xiaogang and Tang Chuan both wore joyful smiles.

Tang Chuan was happy because Tang San would only become a useless fool who served as his stepping stone in the future.

Yu Xiaogang was happy because he could leave this damned place sooner.

Fu Ye, who was hidden in the shadows and silently watching everything, thought, You two are fucking geniuses!

God King Tang San had reincarnated and returned just to screw over his former self?

Fu Ye felt there was no need for him to intervene at all. He only needed to wait and watch these two unfortunate brothers tear each other apart.

"Mm! Thank you, Brother, for giving this soul ring to me. Later, Teacher and I will help Big Brother obtain his first soul ring!"

Tang San's eyes were full of fervor. He had finally become a soul master admired by everyone!

"Little San, what is your soul skill? Tell us about it."

Tang Chuan was very curious. In his view, Plant Element soul beasts like Solitary Bamboo should be able to produce many possible soul skills.

"Mm! My soul skill is called Root Hardening. As the name suggests, I can use my First Spirit Ability to solidify my Blue Silver Grass and make it incomparably hard!"

Tang San's eyes burned with excitement, while Yu Xiaogang and Tang Chuan both froze upon hearing it. Root Hardening? Brother, is there something seriously wrong with your soul skill?

Though he was cursing inwardly, Yu Xiaogang still nodded with feigned satisfaction, maintaining the attitude that Tang San's first Martial Soul only needed casual cultivation.

"Ahem! Little San, your soul skill is quite good. But our most urgent task is to find your brother's first soul ring."

Yu Xiaogang coughed twice, cutting off what Tang San wanted to say next. Although his knowledge was not particularly extensive, he at least knew a little about Blue Silver Grass.

He had originally wanted the Solitary Bamboo to increase the flexibility of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, but after all that, Tang San had given it a skill that made it harder? Was this a joke?

Fu Ye, hiding in the shadows, nearly failed to hold back his laughter.

No, whose fucking soul skill was called Root Hardening? And it made his Blue Silver Grass incomparably hard?
