Allies!

Xiao Wu stood rooted to the spot, watching Tang San's departing back as he turned and left, falling into silence.

At that moment, the light in Tang San's Purple Demon Eye had already faded, and his eyes had returned to their usual depth.

"Wait!"

Xiao Wu suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a hint of hesitation. "I really do need a trustworthy ally, and you're a good fit."

Hearing this, Tang San slowly turned around, the corners of his mouth lifting as he said, "Naturally. Choosing me as your ally is the best option, because I'm very rational."

"But I won't return to the Star Dou Great Forest. As you said, I'm currently in a Human Body, so Soul Beasts will naturally reject me. Do you have anything here, or any method, that can conceal my Soul Beast Aura?"

"As an exchange, I can activate my Beast Network within the Star Dou Great Forest and help you search for Plant Soul Beasts with exceptionally strong Life Force and high cultivation years."

Xiao Wu spoke.

"Why couldn't you wait until your Maturity Period before coming out?" Tang San asked.

"Because I need to use this time to completely integrate into human society and become a human."

"Besides, reaching the Maturity Period takes too long. At the very least, I'll have to wait until I'm nearly a six-ring Soul Emperor."

Xiao Wu sighed. "Even if I'm only Recovering Strength, it will still take many years."

"I do have a method. By circulating the Soul Power routes within your body, you can conceal your own Aura, but this method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

"However, besides that, I also know of an Immortal Herb called Lovesick Heartbreak Red. As long as you consume it or carry it on your person, it can completely conceal your Soul Beast Aura. Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to see through it."

"But this Immortal Herb is not easy to find at present, and it must acknowledge its master before it can be picked."

"So, for now, use the first method."

Tang San thought for a moment before speaking.

"Lovesick Heartbreak Red? I'll remember it. I'll have my companions in the Star Dou Great Forest help me search for it."

"What should I do now?"

This was Xiao Wu's first time hearing of the Immortal Herb and its name, so she knew nothing about it.

She could only find a time later to return and have Da Ming and Er Ming look for it.

"Sit cross-legged and follow the route of my Soul Power circulation."

"I'll teach you personally."

Tang San sat cross-legged and spoke.

"Alright."

Xiao Wu nodded and did the same.

The next second, Tang San placed his hand directly against Xiao Wu's back.

Xiao Wu closed her eyes and began circulating her Soul Power along with Tang San's.

After circulating it again and again, Xiao Wu learned it after the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

Her Aura was now even more concealed than before.

"Remember, as long as you're in human society, you must keep circulating it at all times. It's best not to stop. No one can be sure whether a Titled Douluo, a Soul Douluo, or a Martial Soul Soul Master capable of seeing through your identity might appear one day. To be safe, you can only do this. In the future, if you can avoid using Soul Power and Soul Skills to fight, use them as little as possible."

After concealing his Aura, Tang San gave her special instructions.

In this life, he wouldn't follow the path of the Original Work. As long as Xiao Wu remained by his side and under his constant supervision, there was no need to worry too much.

What was more, his father, Tang Hao, had also obtained the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Once the injuries within his body had mostly healed and his strength had recovered completely, no one would be able to take Xiao Wu away unless the entire Spirit Hall mobilized.

As long as Xiao Wu reduced her exposure to those people from Spirit Hall, she wouldn't remind Bibi Dong of the Escaped Fish from the Star Dou Great Forest. The subsequent Soul Hunting Plan targeting Xiao Wu would never happen, and the tragedy between him and Xiao Wu in the Original Work would not be repeated.

Since it was destined that he, Tang San, and Spirit Hall would be enemies.

In this life, he would have to make every possible preparation and destroy them.

Of course, after dealing with Spirit Hall, he would also need to establish a faction to replace Spirit Hall's work by providing free Martial Soul Awakening for Commoner Soul Masters across the continent and distributing subsidies on their behalf.

In the Original Work, Tang San truly hadn't acted like a human. He had cut off the commoners' path and simply left.

He had left behind many Unfinished Projects.

But in this life, Tang San, an Aspirational Youth from Huaxia, definitely wouldn't allow such a situation to occur.

The City of Slaughter couldn't be destroyed either.

It was a Prison Cage imprisoning evil Soul Masters.

Besides, the King of Slaughter was his Ancestor.

If possible, he would see whether he could work with Tang Hao to rescue him.

With his Ultimate Life Force, perhaps he could even bring him back to life.

Then they would have a level-ninety-nine peak Peerless Douluo as their backer.

As a Trump Card to deal with future changes in the situation, that would be immensely useful.

It could also earn them the Clear Sky Sect's assistance.

Of course, all of that was for later. He needed time to develop.

"I understand. I'll fight less from now on."

"Thank you, Tang San. Don't worry, I'll take care of all your future Soul Rings. I'll have my companions specifically search for Plant Soul Beasts with vigorous Life Force and high cultivation years."

"Do you already have anything selected on your end? You can tell me first, and I can have them search for it ahead of time. With your talent, you should be able to reach Level Twenty before long."

After finishing the circulation, Xiao Wu discovered that it really was effective, and not just slightly. Although she had to keep circulating it constantly, it was still much better than exposing her identity again. At worst, she would simply fight less in the future.

"Life Vine."

"This is the Second Soul Ring I've chosen for my Blue Silver Grass."

"As for the cultivation years, let's choose ten thousand years."

Tang San thought for a moment before speaking.

"You want to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring for your Second Soul Ring? Have you gone mad?"

"You know that reaching ten thousand years means enduring an incredibly powerful spiritual grudge impact. Your body may be strong, but you won't be able to withstand it mentally!"

"Besides, no matter how strong your body is, it's impossible for you to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as your Second Soul Ring. That's purely courting death!"

After hearing this, Xiao Wu was shocked as well. She felt that Tang San really wasn't afraid of dying.

"I'll prepare properly during this time, so you don't need to worry. I also have methods to deal with my body and Spiritual Power."

"Besides, the Life Vine has no offensive abilities. It's a Plant Soul Beast focused on increasing its own Life Force, and I'm confident I can absorb it successfully."

"If it were an Animal Spirit Beast, I wouldn't be this certain."

"I wouldn't joke around with my precious life either."

"Didn't no one believe at first that a thousand-year Soul Ring could be absorbed as a First Soul Ring?"

"Isn't a living, successful example standing right in front of you now?"

Tang San thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"Fine, I understand."

"I'll return now and notify them in my own way. Just tell them that I've taken leave to go home and deal with something."

"I'll be back in a few days."

Xiao Wu spoke.

"Alright, go ahead." Tang San nodded.

Xiao Wu turned around and quickly left.

With the Concealment Method Tang San had given her, she didn't need to worry about the others discovering her identity.

Besides, moving at night was safer for her.

After Xiao Wu left.

A figure walked out of the darkness.

This person was none other than his father, Tang Hao.

"Dad, you're here."

"I knew you'd been here the whole time."

Tang San smiled when he saw him.
