Nine Heart Breakthrough, Seeking the Blue Silver
Tang San's rapid progress in strength was not only due to killing many Soul Beasts and absorbing their energy, but also because Tang Hao's soul had awakened within him.
As the Clear Sky Douluo who established his renowned reputation with the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao possesses invaluable experience in cultivating high-level Soul Master, knowledge that Yu Xiaogang could never access in his entire life.
Over the years, the master-disciple relationship between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang has become increasingly distant, gradually shifting from a master-disciple dynamic to one of mutual exploitation. Rather, it would be more accurate to say that Tang San's true Teacher is Tang Hao within him.
Tang Hao had already told Tang San all the details and truth about his death. When Tang San faced Su He, his hypothetical enemy, he felt not only deep hatred but also boundless fear.
So much time has passed, and it's unknown to what extent Su He's strength has improved. If the latter's strength has advanced further, perhaps only by fully equipping the Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer with their Soul Ring, coupled with the powerful force of the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, could one possibly fight against her.
A sense of urgency burned within Tang San; he needed to become stronger!
At this time, there were still half a month before the official opening of the Spirit Master Tournament. Tang San had already separated from the Shrek Academy group and, under Tang Hao's guidance, wanted to obtain the final wave of on-the-spot enhancement for his Twin Martial Souls. Su He was unwilling to waste this little bit of time.
Ye Renxin, the chief Healing System Spirit Master of the Spirit Hall and the Nine Heart Saint, recently broke through to level 80 and needs to acquire his Eighth Soul Ring.
For such a rare top-tier Healing System Spirit Master, let alone finding him a henchman to hunt for Soul Ring, if this news were to get out, even Titled Douluo wouldn't let such an opportunity pass them by.
An opportunity to build a good relationship with the Nine Heart Saint, Ye Renxin.
The first person Ye Renxin, the Elder Ye, notified was neither any of the Titled Douluo nor any Soul Douluo powerhouse, but Su He, whom he had sent his granddaughter Ye Lingling to find.
Su He was not surprised at all. After all, he was the one who led several elders to rescue Ye Renxin, who was under house arrest in the Star Luo Empire. It was only natural that he had gained Ye Renxin's trust now.
However, Su He did this not entirely out of charity; he also had some personal motives.
It's important to know that the Nine Heart Saint's Medical Clinic is now a well-known name in Spirit City, bringing countless human resources and prestige to the Spirit Hall. Many high-level, unemployed Soul Master who were injured outside the city naturally joined the Spirit Hall after receiving treatment from the Nine Heart Saint.
Considering Ye Renxin's limited Soul Power, the Medical Clinic only provides services to Soul Master at the Soul Emperor level and above, and all treatment costs are borne by the Spirit Hall without any additional fees.
This move was actually proposed by Su He. The Spirit Hall now has a steady stream of Gold Soul Coin supplied by the Great Soul Arena, so it's not short of money at all. Supporting Ye Renxin is a piece of cake. More importantly, this will win the favor of casual Soul Master and improve the Spirit Hall's public image.
Over the years, Ye Renxin has helped recruit more than 150 Soul Master of the Soul Emperor level and above, including more than 20 Soul Sage and three Soul Douluo powerhouses. These are all powerful forces that have genuinely joined the Spirit Hall.
Moreover, the fact that such Medical Clinic is located right at the foot of the Pope's Hall means that the Nine Heart Saint is under the protection of the Spirit Hall. Neither the Star Luo Empire nor any other major power has the ability to extend its reach into Spirit City, the territory of the Great Enshrined and the Pope!
The interior of Hall of Benevolence.
"Young Master Su."
"Brother Su He".
"Elder Ye, Lingling."
Su He greeted Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling, and then began to talk about business.
"Elder Ye, I know of a Soul Beast that would be perfect as your Eighth Soul Ring."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."
Ye Renxin became interested and asked.
"The Blue Silver King with 85,000 years of cultivation!"
Su He chuckled and revealed the target he had long ago reserved for Ye Renxin.
Blue Silver Grass primarily cultivates the life attribute; it cannot be extinguished by wildfire and will spring back to life with the spring breeze.
The Blue Silver Grass Clan is characterized by its tenacious vitality. This 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King is the Blue Silver Grass with the strongest vitality after the Blue Silver Emperor. The vitality it contains must be extremely profound. Whether it is attribute or age, it is the most suitable Soul Ring for the Nine Heart Begonia, without exception.
This time, Su He brought Qian Renxue, who had just broken through to the next level, without disturbing her Teacher and grandfather.
It was just an 85,000-year-old Soul Beast; it wasn't worth them making a special trip to deal with it.
Now, both Su He (level 77) and Qian Renxue (Level Eighty-Three), with the blessing of Two Hundred Thousand Year Ferocious Beast Soul Ring, possess power comparable to Titled Douluo. It would be a waste of their talents for them to work together against an 85,000-year-old Soul Beast.
Moreover, the Blue Silver King's location is not close to the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, so Su He is not worried about encountering those powerful Ferocious Beast with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.
In the Original Work, Tang San experienced Second Awakening of his Martial Soul in an unnamed forest within the Heaven Dou Empire Realm. This awakening was due to the bloodline power bestowed upon him by the 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King.
About half a month's journey north of the forest lies the Slaughter City. This is the main storyline of Tang San's training in the Original Work, so based on this, the location of this forest can be roughly determined.
Not to mention that there are still a few days until the official opening of the competition, even if the competition has already started, Su He has nothing to do for the time being.
After all, the Spirit Hall Team was Seed Team that was guaranteed a spot in the finals, so Su He had plenty of time.
Su He and Qian Renxue, along with Ye Renxin and his granddaughter Ye Lingling, searched for the target location near the confirmed location.
Information about this ancient forest in the Original Work is limited; one can only search for it by first reaching the entrance to the Slaughter City and then heading south.
Three days later.
One
Four figures appeared on the forest path. A young couple walked in front, followed by an old man and a young girl.
The four continued searching for their target when suddenly Su He's Golden Eyes of Disillusionment sensed an extremely powerful life force directly to their south.
"I think I've found it!"
Su He was delighted, and the group quickened their pace.
There are almost no powerful Soul Beast here, so the one that can exude such strong vitality must be the Blue Silver King!
The four continued walking for a while, and Qian Renxue also raised an eyebrow, sensing the presence of life.
"We must be on the right track. The one with such powerful vitality must be the Blue Silver King you mentioned!"
The four continued walking slowly forward, passing through a thicket of bushes, where some Blue Silver Grass could already be seen on the ground.
After passing another thick, ancient tree that required seven or eight people to encircle, Su He's gaze settled on a strange plant.
