Tang Hao: What Herb Residue? That's Our Soul Masters' Ultimate Tonic!

In Black Rock City.

Tang Hao sensed that the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul and Soul Power within him were both throbbing with desire for the black, foul-smelling liquid full of residue in the wooden buckets carried by several burly guards leaving the Alchemist Guild.

He swallowed with difficulty, forcing down the restlessness in his heart. Pretending to take a stroll, he was actually following behind the guards.

After walking for some time, the guards arrived at a patch of woods and directly poured the liquid from their buckets onto the ground, scattering it everywhere.

Tang Hao's heart ached at the sight. He almost shouted aloud.

Stop! How could you waste such a treasure?!

At that moment, the guards began chatting as well.

"None of the alchemists taking the assessment today were any good! They wanted to advance in rank, yet they couldn't even refine the most basic pill form of higher-grade pills. They ruined all the medicinal ingredients. What a waste!"

"Can't be helped. This failed Herb Residue has mixed medicinal properties and is completely useless. Eating it would only harm us, so we can only throw it away!"

"Hehe, even dogs wouldn't eat this stuff. What would we want it for?"

The guards chatted and laughed as they carried their buckets back.

But not far away, after hearing the guards' conversation, Tang Hao's expression stiffened. He could barely hold it together.

Wait a second!

These things were actually Herb Residue from alchemy?

And Dou Zhe would be harmed by eating it? Even dogs would not eat it?

Fuck!

What did that mean?

Were they saying that if I ate it, I would be worse than a dog?

For a moment, Tang Hao's face flushed red, his heart filled with fury and humiliation.

On Douluo Continent.

Through the live broadcast, countless Soul Masters felt their Martial Souls and Soul Power stir with excitement and longing toward the several buckets of black, pungent liquid full of residue.

And after hearing the guards' words.

Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Yu Luomian's eyes immediately reddened. Clenching his fists, he felt utterly heartbroken and cried out.

"These people from the Doupo World really don't know how to appreciate treasures! What a complete waste of resources!"

"That medicinal liquid is clearly a treasure, yet they just poured it out!"

"Wasteful! What a terrible waste!"

"If our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had a bucket of medicinal liquid like that every day, our entire sect would have become Titled Douluo long ago and united the continent!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi stared intently at the black medicinal liquid full of Herb Residue and pungent odor that had been poured onto the ground. He could not help licking his lips as he said longingly.

"If I could drink a few mouthfuls of that medicinal liquid, I feel that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul might evolve into the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"If I drink it, my Bone Dragon Martial Soul could evolve too!"

Gu Rong also stared fervently at the Herb Residue and medicinal liquid scattered across the ground, his heart full of longing.

Beside him, Sword Douluo nodded as well, a trace of fervor flashing through his eyes.

At the same time, Xue Ye in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and Dai Tianfeng in the Star Luo Imperial Palace both wished they could rush in and wildly lick the ground clean.

It might have been embarrassing, but this was an unparalleled opportunity that could evolve Martial Souls and break through cultivation!

Before an opportunity that could alter a family's fate.

Dignity?

Could that thing be eaten?

At that moment, in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Seeing the Herb Residue and black medicinal liquid all over the ground, Di Tian's heart ached immensely as well.

"These humans are far too wasteful!"

"I feel that if I consumed those few buckets of medicinal liquid, then without the heavenly tribulation, I could directly break through to nine hundred thousand years—no! One million years!"

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena sighed. A trace of regret also flashed through her eyes as she said.

"If I consumed that medicinal liquid, perhaps it could even heal the injuries within my body."

"What a pity. That Titan Giant Ape Er Ming had such poor luck that he descended into a village full of humans."

"Otherwise, if Titan Giant Ape Er Ming could survive for a year, perhaps he could bring back some decent treasures and opportunities."

In the Doupo World, Black Rock City.

Compared to the countless Soul Masters on Douluo Continent, including soul beasts such as Di Tian and Gu Yuena, who were filled with longing for those buckets of failed medicinal liquid but could do nothing.

Tang Hao could truly rush over and lick every drop of the medicinal liquid clean.

But when he remembered that he was currently being broadcast by the Heavenly Screen.

Every movement he made was being watched by everyone on Douluo Continent.

That included his elder brother Tang Xiao, the many members of the Clear Sky Sect, and those enemies from Spirit Hall.

As a proud man, Tang Hao felt his body stiffen. His heart was in agonizing conflict, and he did not know whether to rush over and wildly lick up the medicinal liquid.

For strength, sacrifice his dignity!

And while Tang Hao hesitated.

The failed medicinal liquid that had been poured onto the ground gradually seeped into the soil, leaving only the Herb Residue on the surface.

Seeing this, Tang Hao finally could not endure it any longer. His eyes turned bloodshot as he clenched his fists and roared through gritted teeth.

"Enough!"

"Those who refuse Heaven's gift will suffer its consequences!"

"For my father and Ah Yin, I, Tang Hao, can do anything!"

Then, under the live broadcast.

Before countless people on Douluo Continent, Tang Hao's face twisted savagely as he lunged at the patch of earth covered in Herb Residue. Opening his mouth wide, he crammed the medicinal liquid that had seeped into the dirt, along with all the residue on top, into his mouth and forcibly swallowed it.

Eat, eat, eat!

After swallowing mouthful after mouthful of dirt mixed with Herb Residue and failed medicinal liquid that had seeped into it.

Tang Hao immediately felt blazing currents like erupting magma surging wildly from his abdomen. They rapidly coursed through his limbs and bones, nourishing his body and continuously merging into his Soul Power.

Tang Hao felt as though the Soul Power within him was skyrocketing like a rocket, while the injuries in his body rapidly recovered.

At the same time, the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul emerged from his back, blooming with jet-black light as it continuously grew larger. Bumps kept appearing across its hammerhead and handle, like the warts of a toad.

"Hehehe! I succeeded! I finally succeeded!"

After gnawing every last bit of Herb Residue and medicinal liquid off the ground, swallowing it all together with the dirt.

Tang Hao felt the Soul Power within him surge explosively. He leaped directly from a level ninety-five Titled Douluo to a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo.

This left Tang Hao sprawled on the ground, his face flushed red with excitement as he threw back his head and laughed wildly.

How were these Herb Residue?

They were clearly the ultimate tonic soup for Soul Masters!

However, although this failed Herb Residue still had extraordinary effects on Soul Masters of Douluo Continent, it was not without side effects.

Behind Tang Hao, not only had the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul undergone a defective evolution, but its handle and hammerhead were now covered in toad-like warts and bumps, making it look horrifying.

Tang Hao's face and skin were also covered in warts and bumps, while his complexion became even darker and yellower. He looked like a humanoid toad, an otherworldly test-drug version of a doughnut.

But there was no helping it.

This was the price that had to be paid for greater strength!
