First Scheme Against Tang San

First Scheme Against Tang San

Radiant Feather Douluo was already level ninety-six and had no use for a soul ring.

But if this soul ring were given to the Young Master... even Radiant Feather Douluo's breathing became uneven.

From a worshipper's perspective, a 100,000-Year Soul Ring was a good thing regardless of its attribute or what soul beast it came from.

Especially for the seventh ring, since it would be a Martial Soul Avatar anyway.

In fact, after seeing what had happened to Little Shiyue, Qian Renxue's attitude had gradually changed as well.

She wanted a better seventh ring.

Not to mention that Snake Lance Douluo, the rather opinionated guard by her side—because of his soul ring, his Martial Soul Avatar had undergone a beastification of his Tool Martial Soul, and it seemed to have grown stronger.

Perhaps because his martial soul gave Radiant Feather Douluo both light and ice attributes, he quickly calmed down.

"This fellow seems..." Radiant Feather Douluo narrowed his eyes. "She has some connection to that Pope of Spirit Hall."

"The current Pope of Spirit Hall?" Shi Yueyi asked.

"Mm." Radiant Feather Douluo nodded. "The Pope seemed to have hunted her before, intending to turn her into a soul ring. But she must have failed and let her become a fish that slipped through the net."

"Clear Sky Douluo got mixed up with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, and now his son is doing the same." Shi Yueyi shrugged.

Radiant Feather Douluo gave Shi Yueyi a deep look, then said, "Little Shiyue, what do you plan to do?"

Shi Yueyi froze slightly before answering, "Raise a gu, then fish."

"Raise a gu? Fish?" Radiant Feather Douluo frowned slightly, not understanding. "What do you mean?"

"This little thing doesn't look very bright." Shi Yueyi said, "Based on your earlier description, she should have narrowly escaped a hunt once. Yet instead of hiding, she came to the human world with great fanfare and even joined an academy."

"You mean she'll be exposed sooner or later?" Radiant Feather Douluo thought it over.

"Yes." Shi Yueyi nodded. "Think of it this way: this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that rebuilt herself and Tang San appear as close as one person. Then in the future... we might as well recreate what happened with the previous Pope, while changing the process a little."

"Oh?" Radiant Feather Douluo became interested. "How would you change it?"

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast will certainly be a target coveted by every soul master. Once this one is exposed, she'll definitely be watched by all sorts of factions. If this Tang San is like his rat father, then he'll certainly spare no effort to protect her..."

A trace of ruthlessness appeared in Shi Yueyi's eyes.

"Tang Hao will provoke other factions, and as for those sects and clans that always claim to share weal and woe, I don't believe they can resist such temptation." Shi Yueyi sighed. "At worst, we'll come out at the end to clean things up. This little rabbit is a gu—or rather, bait. Fish will eventually take the hook."

"In the end, the snipe and clam fight while the fisherman profits!" Radiant Feather Douluo's eyes lit up. "We might even make those disobedient fellows fight each other!"

"Anyway, Tang San is by her side, and Tang Hao is behind Tang San." Shi Yueyi said casually. "Her safety can still be guaranteed in the early stages."

This matter did seem as though it would stretch out the battle line somewhat.

But just as Shi Yueyi had previously told Qian Renxue, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's move to control the talent market was also stretching out the battle line, yet it was far more effective than directly bringing existing clans into the fold.

On the other hand, Shi Yueyi suspected that this Tang San was a transmigrator like herself.

Then he would likely know more of the inside story.

If they pushed Tang San too far and he directly cast the grand summoning spell—"Godfather, save me!"—then had some deus ex machina descend and kill her, that would be no fun.

After all, the Sea God's divine soul had indeed descended directly before and used a divine skill to drive Bibi Dong back!

"Still, it feels like we should report this to Her Highness." A hint of excitement appeared in Radiant Feather Douluo's eyes.

"That works." Shi Yueyi considered it. "Then tell her my plan. I think she'll consider my suggestion."

"You're incredible!" Radiant Feather Douluo said sincerely. "I even want to take you as my granddaughter!"

Shi Yueyi froze slightly, then said, "Grandpa Guang Ling, didn't you say before that we were family? Why are you being so formal now?"

Radiant Feather Douluo smiled casually. "Yes, we're family."

The morning of the third day arrived as scheduled.

As the morning mist dispersed, one large and one small figure walked out of Nuoding Academy.

"Tang San, where are we going to find the soul beast you mentioned?" the headmaster of Nuoding Academy asked. "Isn't there one in the Soul Hunting Forest?"

Tang San shook his head, a flash of disdain passing through his eyes.

"Headmaster, the soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest are actually all captive-bred. They're mostly weaker, ordinary species of soul beasts. Besides, you need a warrant from Spirit Hall to enter that place. Why would Spirit Hall let us hunt soul beasts of good quality that can provide high-quality soul rings?"

The headmaster frowned. He could sense Tang San's hostility toward Spirit Hall.

But then he remembered that Tang San was Grandmaster's disciple!

Like father, like son... ah, no, a disciple reflects his master.

Forget it. He would let him have his way for now.

"Then do you have any good suggestions?" the headmaster asked again.

"The Star Dou Great Forest is a little too far away. Let's go to Sleeping Moon Forest in the southern part of Fasinuo Province, where it borders the Star Luo Empire." Tang San said. "According to the reading material Grandmaster left me, there are soul beasts suitable for me there."

"Alright." The headmaster nodded. "Then we need to hurry."

"So slow!"

In Sleeping Moon Forest, Shi Yueyi sat bored atop a large tree, waiting for Tang San and the headmaster to arrive.

Radiant Feather Douluo was not far from her, temporarily concealing himself.

"I've sensed them." Radiant Feather Douluo's voice came through Shi Yueyi's earpiece. "They're entering the forest."

"Received." Shi Yueyi tapped her earpiece.

Back in the forest, Shi Yueyi was like someone who had returned home. In a short time, she had set up several traps for an ambush.

This was her old trade.

Naturally, she would not personally make a move and expose herself before Tang San.

So, she made a small arrangement.

She wanted to see whether this fellow really was a transmigrator, while also making things a little difficult for him.

After all, it concerned the arrangements for the plan ahead.

Meanwhile, the headmaster and Tang San stepped into Sleeping Moon Forest.

Tang San said, "Headmaster, I remember that one of my teacher's books mentioned a soul beast called the Demonic Eye Tree in this forest. It can be considered one of the more advanced plant-type soul beasts."

What book? I clearly saw it from the sky when I was bored before.

After much consideration, he decided to use this plant-type soul beast, which belonged to the same race as the Star Dou Fierce Beast Myriad Demon King, as his second ring.

As for parasitism? It was just sowing seeds.

"Why did you choose this kind of soul beast?" the headmaster asked curiously.

"Because this soul beast's soul ring can further enhance the toughness of my Blue Silver Grass." Tang San was brimming with confidence.

It will also greatly benefit my Spiritual Power. Given my identity as the Son of Destiny, I might even obtain an eye soul bone in advance.

Tang San thought to himself.

My Purple Demon Eye is going to evolve anyway. Laying the groundwork early doesn't count as introducing too many variables.

"Alright, you are the disciple of the Grandmaster who proposed the Ten Core Competencies, after all. I believe you." The headmaster nodded.

However, as they walked deeper into the forest, the surrounding environment began to grow

darker.
