The Most Astonishing Display of Wisdom

Sunset Forest.

As a gathering place for Soul Beasts within the Heaven Dou Empire ten thousand years ago, it might not have compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, but it was still a habitat not to be underestimated. Even after ten thousand years, the Soul Beasts living within remained considerable in number.

Because it was relatively nearby, Soul Masters from Heaven Dou City would generally choose to come here for convenience when they were low-level and needed to obtain Soul Rings.

From ten-year and hundred-year Soul Beasts to thousand-year and ten-thousand-year ones, all could be found in Sunset Forest. Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, Sunset Forest was clearly much safer as well.

The soles of his shoes rustled softly over weathered leaves as a boy of around eight or nine walked alone through the forest.

A faint purple glimmer shone in his eyes as he vigilantly observed his surroundings.

The boy was Tang San. More than two years had passed since he awakened his Martial Soul, and a few days ago, his Soul Power had successfully reached level twenty. This trip to Sunset Forest was to add a Second Soul Ring to his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

As for his target, he had already decided on it during his previous visit, when he obtained his First Soul Ring.

I hope that Ghost Vine hasn't been hunted down yet.

Tang San followed the route he remembered as he continued forward. In his previous life, he had promised Xiao Wu that he would only kill evil Soul Beasts and those that attacked him first. Even though he had been reborn, he would still uphold that promise.

As it happened, during his last visit, he had accidentally come across a Ghost Vine with roughly eight hundred years of cultivation that was brutally killing and oppressing other Soul Beasts.

Such an evil Soul Beast was simply intolerable!

It was only because he had already killed another evil Soul Beast and obtained his First Soul Ring, and because his First Soul Ring could not absorb one of such a high age, that he had spared its life out of respect for heaven's love of life.

As plant-type Soul Beasts, they found it difficult to relocate before reaching a certain level of cultivation. Tang San therefore did not spend much time before finding that Ghost Vine.

Using his Purple Demon Eyes, Tang San clearly saw that the number of Soul Beast skeletons around the Ghost Vine had noticeably increased. His expression immediately turned cold.

"Such wanton slaughter of the innocent—you have earned your death!"

The moment his words fell, many concealed weapons of varying shapes appeared in Tang San's hands. Under the sunlight, the metal glinted with a chilling sheen. He took a deep breath, and with a flick of his hand, several concealed weapons shot forth.

A flash of cold light passed by, and the concealed weapons silently buried themselves in the Ghost Vine's main body. Green fluid splattered from the wounds, drawing the Ghost Vine's attention to Tang San. In an instant, several vines lashed out toward him.

Tang San showed no fear in the face of those vines. He immediately used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to retreat, while a yellow Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet and abruptly lit up.

Dozens of strands of Blue Silver Grass sprouted and spread from Tang San's hands, leaping like venomous snakes as they coiled around the Ghost Vine's tendrils.

Though it looked like the same Entanglement, the Blue Silver Grass produced this time was far more numerous than in his previous life. Back then, with one ring, he could only create ten strands of Blue Silver Grass at once. This time, there were a full forty!

The reason for such a dramatic change was that his First Soul Ring no longer granted the "Entanglement" obtained from a Mandala Snake. Instead, it granted "Proliferation," obtained from a lizard-type Soul Beast!

As for why he could still use the same Entanglement as in his previous life without a Mandala Snake Soul Ring, that was thanks to his extraordinary wisdom.

Simply put, with his experience using the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul in his previous life, he could use Entanglement without even needing a Soul Ring!

What a terrifying thing that was!

It was equivalent to successfully transforming a Soul Ring skill into a Self-Created Soul Skill through his own wisdom!

Of course, despite being able to achieve such a feat, Tang San felt no pride. As a powerful God King reborn, this was only natural.

One had to know that although his Godhood in his previous life had been that of the Asura God and the Sea God, the other gods would privately call him the God of Wisdom.

To possess such a title in the Divine Realm showed just how earth-shattering the wisdom he displayed in everyday life truly was.

Although Grandmaster had already pointed out a path to greatness for his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul in his previous life, telling him that he only needed to follow it step by step, everything depended on the circumstances. Since he had already created the Entanglement Soul Skill himself, his First Soul Ring naturally did not need to be the same as in his previous life.

After thinking it over for some time, he reached a conclusion. To make the most of the Entanglement he had created, the best approach was to create more Blue Silver Grass at once.

That way, he could unleash more Blue Silver Entanglement!

Just imagine it: could ten strands of Blue Silver Grass wrapping around someone possibly compare to a hundred?

Thus, when he obtained his First Soul Ring two years ago, he hunted a Soul Beast whose proliferation speed was fast, which possessed a poison attribute, and—most importantly—was innately evil.

The result was exactly as he expected. After absorbing the Soul Ring, not only did his First Soul Skill become Proliferation, but his Blue Silver Grass also became as tough as it had been in his previous life and gained a trace of poison. It was practically an upgraded version of the Mandala Snake from his previous life.

Remembering the mocking looks from the staff when he awakened his Martial Soul, Tang San's gaze turned icy. The concealed weapons on his body flew toward the Ghost Vine like a violent storm.

In this life, he would completely change the world's impression of Blue Silver Grass as a useless Martial Soul!

"Mom, I'm heading out."

After lunch, Huo Yuhao prepared to leave for the Medical Hall. He turned back to bid farewell to Huo Yun'er, who stood by the entryway.

Huo Yun'er first glanced at Gu Yue Na, who was reading in the living room, and Tang Ya, who was tinkering with concealed weapons in the workroom, before turning her gaze back to Huo Yuhao.

"Will you be back for dinner tonight?"

Huo Yun'er had long since gotten used to her son running around outside every few days. As long as he did not suddenly bring another girl home, it was fine.

Of course, even if he did bring one home, that would be fine too.

As his mother, seeing her son so popular made her happy before anything else.

"Not sure."

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Never mind. I might be back very late, so don't wait for me to eat. I'll just grab something outside for dinner."

Today happened to be the fifth day he had agreed upon with Jiang Nannan. Since he did not know whether he would encounter any problems there and feared it might take too much time, he had not brought Gu Yue Na or Tang Ya with him this time.

Come to think of it, it was strange. Ever since the first day, Huo Yuhao had become increasingly unable to understand the relationship between Tang Ya and Gu Yue Na. Clearly, the latter had done nothing from beginning to end, yet Tang Ya gave him the sense that she was somewhat afraid of Gu Yue Na.

It was not exactly fear. She was just somewhat restrained, as though someone had hold of her weakness.

Huo Yun'er said nothing more. Ever since Huo Yuhao became a Soul Master, she no longer worried so much about his safety.

"All right. Be careful on the road."

"Mm."

Huo Yuhao smiled and waved, then turned and headed toward the bustling street.

About to get run over by a cart again. How tragic.
