Twisted Tree Spirit Tang San

Twisted Tree Spirit: Tang San

"Ah..." Tang San sighed again.

"Stop sighing and tell us already. What's wrong with your first soul skill?" Chen Feng was truly starting to panic.

He felt as though Tang Hao had already locked onto him, as if the Clear Sky Hammer could smash down on his head at any moment.

"The effect of my first soul skill... Ah, don't be scared when I tell you." Tang San sighed again.

"Y-you tell us." Chen Feng swallowed. Everyone around them, as well as Tang Hao in the distance, listened intently.

"The effect of this first soul skill is really..." Tang San looked at the nervous Chen Feng. His expression suddenly shifted, brightening into a radiant smile. "It's really great."

"Huh?" Chen Feng had yet to process it. "R-really great?"

"That's right. The effect of my first soul skill is that, as long as I remain in a place with light, I can continuously obtain a special kind of energy. I can either store that energy or convert it into life force. I can absorb it myself or share it with others through contact with Blue Silver Grass."

As Tang San spoke, he extended several blades of Blue Silver Grass to touch everyone, allowing them to experience the effects of shared life force.

Then, he condensed a small object in his palm.

"Also, the special energy I store has another use."

He hurled the little green object in his hand toward an empty patch of ground with all his strength. It was merely a simple throw, without any hidden weapon technique.

Then everyone heard a bang! The small object blasted a small crater into the ground and gave off a golden glow.

Its power was not especially strong, but it was already shocking enough.

"Sapling Toss?" Chen Feng stared in disbelief.

Twisted Tree Spirit Maokai, huh?

"This is Blue Silver Grass. Why call it a sapling?" Tang San walked over and asked in confusion.

"Because..." Chen Feng was about to explain when he suddenly realized something was off. "Isn't this soul skill's effect great? Why were you sighing just now?"

He had nearly thought his Death Omen Star was shining.

"I never said the soul skill's effect was bad. I merely sighed twice. You misunderstood on your own." Tang San said, holding back a laugh.

"Fine, you brat. You did that on purpose to mess with me, didn't you?" Chen Feng finally understood and pounced at Tang San like a starving tiger.

Tang San turned and ran, though he did not use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. As he ran, he laughed and protested, "How can you slander me out of nowhere? When did I ever mess with you?"

"What slander? You clearly just wanted to see me make a fool of myself." Chen Feng caught up to Tang San in no time, tackled him to the ground, and punched him twice.

"Alright, alright, it was just a joke." Tang San repeatedly begged for mercy.

Of course, he had deliberately allowed himself to be caught so his friend could vent.

Chen Feng also knew Tang San had been going easy on him. After two punches, he let him go.

Just as he was about to get off Tang San, his eyes caught sight of Tang San's hair tips, and his movements abruptly froze.

"Xiao San, your hair..."

"My hair? What's wrong with my hair?" Tang San got up from the ground and asked in confusion.

His hair was short, so he could not see what was wrong with it himself.

"The tips have turned blue." Chen Feng said blankly.

"Blue? Could I have been poisoned?" Tang San was startled and hurriedly checked his body, only to discover that he had never felt better.

"No, probably not." Chen Feng grabbed Tang San's arm and whispered with blazing eyes, "Do you remember what we once speculated about your martial soul?"

"You mean..." Tang San immediately understood and did not continue the topic.

There were too many people here. This was not the place to study his martial soul.

At that moment, Grandmaster walked over. "It seems, Xiao San, that you have obtained a fine soul skill."

The others followed as well, their eyes filled with shock.

When Tang San had touched them with Blue Silver Grass just now, they immediately felt their depleted stamina and mental energy begin to recover. Though it was not as powerful as the effects of those top-tier Support martial souls, it was already quite considerable.

Moreover, the recovery was continuous, so long as Tang San remained in an environment with light.

And where in this world was there complete darkness?

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Tang San, made up her mind, and walked up to Chen Feng. "Please... guide me. I want to change my current situation."

Dai Mubai no longer hesitated either. He stepped forward and said,

"Me too."

A smile appeared on Chen Feng's face. "In that case, let's talk as we walk."

The group packed their things and set off again.

Tang Hao had long since put away the Clear Sky Hammer. Looking at the blue tips of Tang San's hair as he departed, his eyes reddened and his lips trembled.

"Xiao San has truly begun to awaken. Ah Yin, do you see it?"

The others had not noticed this slight change in Tang San, but Tang Hao had spent every day with the Blue Silver Emperor. Naturally, he recognized Tang San's condition at a glance.

The more furious he had been with Chen Feng over Tang San's sighing earlier, the more grateful he now felt toward him.

"Looks like I need to include this child within my protection as well. The hope of Ah Yin's resurrection rests on him and Xiao San."

Chen Feng still had no idea that he had suddenly gained a Title Douluo bodyguard. He was explaining his thoughts to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Zhuqing's problem is easy to solve. She only needs to deeply develop her martial soul's Netherworld Attribute. She can consider shadow-type and death-type soul skills, following the path of an Assassin—pursuing elusive movements and extremely high lethality, striking once and fleeing far if the blow fails.

"As for specific soul skill choices, I recommend status-type and utility-type soul skills, like Shadow Clone and Body Swap. They can greatly enhance Zhu Zhuqing's elusiveness in battle. As for offensive soul skills, I would not recommend absorbing them unless their effects are exceptionally unique."

It was basically a fighting style like Zed's in League of Legends. Even when the enemy died, it would be hard for them to touch him even once.

Of course, this meant Naruto Zed, not kiddie Zed.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded her little head and carefully committed his words to memory.

"What about me?" Dai Mubai asked impatiently.

"For you, Big Brother Dai, I have two options."

Chen Feng raised one finger. "The first is to follow the Gold Attribute route. Gold governs slaughter. Taking this route would give you extremely high attack and defense, allowing you to become a powerful Warrior."

"That route sounds good." Dai Mubai was somewhat tempted.

"But this route has a drawback: insufficient mobility." Chen Feng shook his finger. "You would have to sacrifice one or two soul ring slots to gain a charging or movement ability. Otherwise, in battle, you would be like a dumb iron block, led around by the enemy like a dog on a leash."
