Yu Xiaogang Bitten by a Snake

Li Chen and Xiao Wu watched from afar as those pigs were covered in shit-yellow filth, feeling both nauseated and speechless.

"Xiao San, get your knife. Finish it off and absorb its Soul Ring."

Tang San felt a little intimidated. This was a precious blade he had paid a hefty price for, yet today he had to use it to kill something so disgusting.

But Tang San understood the importance of the bigger picture. He immediately stabbed the pig in the head.

Then a pale yellow Soul Ring floated out. Judging by its color, this pig had only barely reached the Hundred-Year level.

However, Tang San, who had already absorbed a Ten-Year Soul Ring, was overjoyed at the sight of this Hundred-Year Soul Ring.

After all, compared to ten years, a hundred years was much better, wasn't it?

Tang San looked at the pile of filthy waste on the ground. His lips twitched, but he gritted his teeth and sat down cross-legged right there, leaving Li Chen and Xiao Wu utterly impressed.

"Worthy of the ruthless Pure and Untainted. He can even sit down on that!"

Li Chen gave Tang San a thumbs-up in his heart.

If it were him, he would rather give up the Soul Ring than sit directly on Luo San Pao's droppings.

"Li Chen, why did Tang San sit there directly? Couldn't he change locations and just move that pig?"

"Xiao Wu, after a soul beast dies, its Soul Ring remains where it is. It can't move along with the soul beast."

Although Xiao Wu was a soul beast herself, she did not know these things. As for why Li Chen knew, that was naturally because he had the all-knowing Little Tangyuan.

Before long, Tang San finished absorbing the Great Strength Pig's Soul Ring.

"Xiao San, hurry and show us what your spirit ability is! We're all eager to see the power of the world's strongest Weapon Spirit!"

Tang San sprang to his feet, a faint smile on his lips.

Tang San felt that his current strength was nearly catching up to what he had possessed in his previous life. One had to know that he had been a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius in his past life, and he had cultivated in the Tang Sect for so many years. Although he had not learned the most supreme internal cultivation method, what the Tang Sect had given him was not bad either.

But that was not the most important thing. What mattered was that he was only six years old. Six!

He already possessed such tremendous strength. He grew more and more eager for this world.

With a thought from Tang San, a gigantic iron hammer covered in intricate patterns appeared in his hand.

"First Spirit Ability, Strength Enhancement!"

Tang San placed the yellow Soul Ring around the Clear Sky Hammer, and the hammer visibly grew a full size larger.

Tang San smiled in satisfaction, then raised the iron hammer in his hand. He looked somewhat strained, but he could still lift it.

"Boom!"

Tang San smashed the great hammer into the ground, and Yu Xiaogang felt the earth trembling.

Yu Xiaogang muttered, "Is this the world's strongest Weapon Spirit? If Luo San Pao weren't such trash, I should have had the world's strongest Beast Spirit!"

Tang San was very pleased when he saw Yu Xiaogang's dazed expression.

"Teacher, Li Chen, Xiao Wu, my spirit ability increases the strength of my entire body by ten percent!"

"Think about it. If two people are both First Ring Soul Masters in battle, and my strength suddenly increases by ten percent, wouldn't that catch the opponent off guard and knock them silly?"

Tang San was extremely excited. He wished he could find an opponent right now to show off his strength and let Xiao Wu see it.

Only then did Yu Xiaogang snap out of it.

"Xiao San, I knew I was right about you. This spirit ability is incredibly powerful."

"Li Chen, Xiao Wu, listen to me."

Seeing that Li Chen and Xiao Wu seemed distracted, Yu Xiaogang scolded them.

"Don't think that ten percent of a Tenth-Level Soul Master's strength is insignificant. But if Xiao San becomes a Titled Douluo and possesses the strength of ten thousand jin, calculate it. What is ten percent of ten thousand?"

Li Chen and Xiao Wu looked at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang as if they were idiots.

So only you had a spirit ability, and no one else did?

You could suddenly increase by ten percent to catch someone off guard, but couldn't they increase by twenty percent instead?

Just as Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were indulging in their fantasies, Luo San Pao suddenly let out an urgent cry.

"Luo luo, luo luo!"

The surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.

Li Chen knew that the Mandala Snake was about to arrive. The protagonist might change, but the Mandala Snake remained.

He just did not know whether this Mandala Snake would attack him and Xiao Wu.

Tang San reacted the fastest. Hearing the hissing around them and sensing the change in the smell of the air, he immediately determined what kind of soul beast had arrived.

"Teacher, it should be a snake!"

A terrifying-looking giant snake crawled out from the grass.

"This is bad. It's a Mandala Snake, one of the most difficult snake-type soul beasts to deal with!"

Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice, though anyone paying close attention could hear the tremor in his voice.

Yu Xiaogang frowned and slowly retreated behind everyone else!

"Judging by its appearance, this is a Hundred-Year Mandala Snake. It may be close to Four-Hundred-Year. We definitely can't defeat it."

"Children, do you know what is most precious to a Soul Master?"

"No."

"Now I'll teach you. The most precious thing to a Soul Master is experience. Knowing which soul beasts can be fought, which cannot, which can be handled, and which you must run from the moment you see them!"

A bad feeling rose in Tang San's heart. "Teacher, can we defeat this soul beast?"

Yu Xiaogang gently shook his head.

"More rings and bones, unleash your abilities in a wave; fewer rings and bones, turn tail and run!"

"I'll count to three."

Xiao Wu picked up the line. "Then everyone attacks together!"

"Nonsense, everyone runs together!"

Yu Xiaogang's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"One."

Tang San was thinking that he would definitely be fine. After all, he had the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. In this situation, he could surely escape.

In truth, he did not need to run faster than the Mandala Snake. He only needed to run faster than the other three.

Tang San had already secretly mobilized the internal energy of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, preparing to flee. He definitely could not die first. Then, Yu Xiaogang was still useful to him, so he could give him a hand. Xiao Wu was so adorable that she naturally could not die either. She would be his wife in the future.

As for Li Chen, he could feed the snake.

"Two."

Yu Xiaogang's second count rang out beside them, but two sets of running footsteps sounded at the same time.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang turned their heads to see Li Chen already more than ten meters away, holding Xiao Wu's hand as he ran!

Li Chen was not stupid enough to wait for Yu Xiaogang to finish counting. Amid Xiao Wu's bewildered gaze, he directly grabbed her hand and bolted first.

"Bastard!"

Tang San cursed inwardly, then activated the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, grabbed Yu Xiaogang, and turned to run.

But before he had taken two steps, Tang San heard a scream.

"Ah!"

"Xiao San, run! The snake bit my thigh!"
