The Undying Imprint Technique Tricks Tang San! Completely Winning Over Xiao Wu?

Tang Lan: "What makes you think you're qualified to teach us brothers?"

Yu Xiaogang's spirits jolted!

Questioning my ability to teach?

Absolutely not!

"Of course, it's because of my theories!" Yu Xiaogang said seriously. "According to the theory of Spirit Mimicry that I've researched, even plant-type martial souls can absorb soul rings from non-plant Soul Beasts."

"Huh?" Tang Lan exaggeratedly asked. "After all these years in the Soul Master World, are there no existing cases to refer to?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

"Of course there are. They're recorded in Spirit Hall's books."

"Then that isn't really your theory, is it?" Tang Lan interrupted again. "At most, you merely summarized the experiences of those before you?"

Yu Xiaogang froze!

Good heavens!

He'd been led into a trap?

"And there's more." Tang Lan pressed his advantage. "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul states that the age limit for the First Soul Ring is around 432 years?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded stiffly.

He was just considering how to explain that this was "his own theory."

Then his eyes widened!

Because—

A purple soul ring emerged beneath Tang Lan's feet!

A Thousand Year Soul Ring?

His First Soul Ring?

A thousand-year First Soul Skill?!!

"How is this possible?!" Yu Xiaogang broke down. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Even Tang San was equally dumbfounded!

His own brother—

Where had he hunted a Soul Beast to obtain that soul ring?

And he had even successfully absorbed it!!!

"Looks like you can't explain it either." Tang Lan said disdainfully. "Then I have one last question."

Yu Xiaogang came back to his senses and stared at Tang Lan.

He had a bad feeling.

"The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul mentions that even if soul masters don't obtain soul rings, their soul power will continue accumulating, right?" Tang Lan asked.

Yu Xiaogang nodded decisively.

He believed this theory couldn't possibly be wrong.

After all, it was all based on "practical experience."

Then—

Tang Lan made a shocking statement. "Then can't I just cultivate directly to Titled Douluo before obtaining soul rings?"

"According to your theory, the soul ring limit for a Titled Douluo is a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"I'm not asking for all Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, but there shouldn't be any problem with every ring starting at ten thousand years, right?"

Yu Xiaogang: "..."

▄█〓█(╯●Д●)シ!

Help!

Was this child really only six years old?

His quick thinking was one thing, but why were his ideas so absurdly unconventional?

Seeing Yu Xiaogang fall into self-doubt, Tang Lan felt utterly refreshed!

He had wanted to tear into this guy for a long time.

That felt great!

Beside him,

Tang San's face had completely turned cold.

Grandmaster?

He was merely an incompetent fool with an undeserved reputation.

"Brother," Tang San said coldly, "let's go. This so-called Grandmaster will only lead people astray."

He pulled Tang Lan toward the door.

Leaving Yu Xiaogang sitting dazedly alone in the office.

He could not regain his senses for a long while.

Wait!

Yu Xiaogang flipped open the records.

On Tang Lan's profile, it clearly stated—Innate Soul Power Level 3!

"Impossible!"

"Haotian Mianxia clearly said that both his sons had Innate Full Soul Power!"

"How..."

"Did I hear wrong?"

"But if he has Innate Soul Power Level 3, how did that boy obtain his First Soul Ring?"

"That's it!"

"He must have encountered some extraordinary opportunity!"

"It's not my theory that has a problem. It's this person!"

"He's the one with the problem!!!"

On the road,

Tang San complained, "Father was far too unreliable. How could he find such a fraud?"

"Thankfully, you're amazing, Brother. You exposed his false face in just a few words."

"Otherwise, if we had really taken him as our master, our lives might have been ruined."

What a barrage!

It was clear—

Tang San harbored deep resentment toward Yu Xiaogang.

The host has greatly delayed Tang San's apprenticeship under Yu Xiaogang, seizing a moderate amount of Tang San's Luck!

Reward: "Undying Imprint Technique, Minor Accomplishment"!

Tang Lan's body shook!

He had cultivated this Undying Imprint Technique for six years.

Yet because he had no opponents to practice against, he had only barely gotten started.

The Undying Imprint Technique was not a cultivation method, but a type of "move."

It used the rapid conversion between life and death qi to borrow force and redirect force.

It transformed the energy attacking him—death qi—into his own energy—life qi.

It both weakened the attack's power and enhanced himself.

Combined with the Endless Vitality Inner Force he possessed after bringing the Nine Yang Divine Skill to Great Perfection—

Could ants bite an elephant to death?

Not a chance!

Any attack that could not kill him would only make him stronger!

The only regret was that—

The converted death qi could only remain inside his body briefly before it had to be expelled.

It could not be used to raise his level.

"Brother? Are you listening to me?"

"Huh?" Tang Lan looked at Tang San. "What is it?"

"I was asking, what's with your Thousand Year Soul Ring?" Tang San asked sourly.

A Thousand Year Soul Ring!

In terms of age alone, one of his was worth a hundred of Tang San's.

At the same time, Tang San was puzzled.

Was that really something a person could accomplish?

"Oh, this?" Tang Lan frankly replied. "When the Blue Silver Grass evolved, it appeared on its own."

It appeared on its own?

That could happen?

Tang San revealed a look of envy. Why couldn't he get such an opportunity himself?

"Hey, Little Sanzi." Tang Lan smiled. "I suddenly comprehended a new Self-Created Soul Skill just now. Attack me with your soul skill."

"Okay!"

Tang San summoned his Blue Silver Grass and gave him a reminder.

"First Soul Skill: Whipping!"

The Blue Silver Grass transformed into a long whip and lashed toward him, striking Tang Lan's shoulder.

"Smack—"

The Blue Silver Grass broke by itself.

That was the protective counterattack ability of the Indestructible Body.

Under the conversion of the Undying Imprint Technique, a small amount of Inner Force emerged and gathered in his palm.

Tang San's eyes widened in disbelief!

That Inner Force was pure and upright—it was clearly the Inner Force of the Mysterious Heaven Skill!

Tang Lan knew the Mysterious Heaven Skill too?

Impossible!

So—

"Brother, can your self-created soul skill absorb the soul power from other people's attacks?" Tang San asked in shock.

Tang Lan nodded calmly.

"I call it the Undying Imprint Technique." Tang Lan smiled. "Come on, Little Sanzi. I'll teach you how to use it."

As he spoke,

he really did explain the Undying Imprint Technique to Tang San.

Of course—

He was not that kindhearted!

Just as Huang Rong had deceived Ouyang Feng back then, he taught it in reverse.

The Undying Imprint Technique was already obscure and difficult to understand. Tang Lan himself had practiced it for six years and only barely gotten started.

And now Tang San was practicing it backward—

Wasting time was the lesser issue.

A Cultivation Deviation was what would truly be terrifying!

Tang San did not doubt him in the slightest and studied it hungrily.

That very night, Tang Lan reaped the rewards.

The host caused Tang San to practice the Undying Imprint Technique in reverse. His Inner Force ran wild and injured his internal organs, seizing a trace amount of Tang San's Luck!

Reward: "Soul Ring Age +10"!

Though it was only ten years.

Tang San seemed possessed. Once he recovered from his injuries, he cultivated again.

Every few days, Tang Lan could claim a reward.

At minimum, five years; at most, twenty years.

Until the end of the term.

Together with Tang Lan's own cultivation of the Indestructible Body, his Soul Ring Upper Limit had risen to 9,054 years!

He was only 946 years away from breaking through to ten thousand years!

Besides the system being incredibly useful,

the most important thing was—

Tang Lan's First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring were both Origin Soul Rings.

Their age could rise as his physique grew stronger.

It was utterly broken!

"Vacation's here."

"It's also time..."

"To completely win over Xiao Wu!"

School had let out, and the students all went home.

Inside the empty dormitory,

Xiao Wu sat forlornly on the large bed, staring blankly at Tang Lan's half of it.

"I knew you'd definitely be here."

Xiao Wu turned around in delighted surprise and met Tang Lan's smiling gaze.

"Lan-ge, why did you come back?" Xiao Wu hurried over. "Did you forget something?"

"Yeah." Tang Lan smiled. "I left you behind. Come home with me?"

—Xiao Wu had only just undergone Soul Beast Transformation and couldn't stay away from human society for too long.

"Really?" Xiao Wu cheered. "Yay! I get to eat Lan-ge's meat again!"

A semester of nighttime "dual cultivation."

Along with his usual care and teasing, Xiao Wu's favorability toward Tang Lan had long since maxed out.

So she agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Reserve?

She was a Soul Beast Transformation. She didn't have that nasty habit!
