The Spirit Hall Is Actually Using Poison!
Unlike Flender, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San's master, had an extremely unpleasant expression.
Tang San, being a good student, always consulted his teacher before making any decisions and then obediently followed instructions.
Even if he were to attend Shrek, a school without the qualifications of an advanced Soul Master Academy, he would still travel a long way to enroll.
It was also because Tang San was obedient that Yu Xiaogang left Nuoding Academy and came to the Shrek Academy to cooperate with Flender in teaching Shrek students, so that he could continue to "teach" Tang San.
In the past, whenever any problems arose, Tang San would first consult his teacher Yu Xiaogang.
Even when his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul encountered a problem, he immediately sought out Yu Xiaogang.
But this time, Tang San left with Tang Hao without saying a word.
Even Yu Xiaogang only realized Tang San was gone when he saw the letter and the empty room.
Recalling the way Tang San looked at him last time, Yu Xiaogang was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand.
If his Martial Soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul...
···························
On his way to Sunset Forest, Tang San searched for the changes in his life as he traveled.
And how will these changes affect me in this lifetime?
Qian Xunji didn't die, Bibi Dong didn't become Pope, and many more geniuses emerged among their peers in this lifetime...
if...
Tang San harbored a suspicion he dared not admit.
If he fails to obtain the Immortal Herb to improve his aptitude, and his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is ruined, with so many competitors of the same age, can he still become the Sea God and the Asura God in this lifetime?
No, that won't happen.
Sea God Island is located overseas.
Only a few Sea Soul Master knew of the existence of Sea God Island.
Almost no land-based Soul Master knew of the existence of Sea God Island. Even he only learned about Sea God Island because of the Clear Sky Sect, and led Dai Mubai and the others to Sea God Island to seek opportunities.
How could any of those guys on Sea God Island possibly pass the Sea God's Nine Trials?
The same principle applies to the Asura God Trial. Those Fallen Soul Master who are passively drawn into the Slaughter City are not mentally strong and have no chance of passing the Asura God Trial.
In my past life, the only forces that knew of the existence of the Slaughter City were the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena of the Spirit Hall can't beat me, and the only one who can compete with me, Qian Renxue, has already passed the Angel God Trial.
Reassuring himself, Tang San looked at the exceptionally beautiful forest in the distance under the setting sun, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
Chapter 190 The Spirit Hall actually used poison!
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky blood red. Tang San stood at the edge of Sunset Forest, gazing at the familiar yet unfamiliar dense forest, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
In his previous life, he had visited this place many times and knew its terrain and dangers like the back of his hand. Even after becoming a god, he always kept an eye on this treasure land. But in this life, everything seems to have changed subtly.
"Mistress, are you sure this is the place?" Tang Hao's deep voice sounded from behind him, his eyes like an eagle's as he warily scanned the surroundings.
The name "Sunset Forest" is beautiful, especially at dusk when the setting sun's rays struggle to penetrate the thick canopy of the trees, which is why it is called "Sunset Forest."
However, it is covered with tall, dense trees and has varied terrain, including mountains, valleys, streams, and swamps.
Its signature dangerous features are the poison array and the pervasive Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flower Poison Miasma. These miasmas are colorful but extremely deadly, forming a natural barrier to protect the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It is for this reason that over the years, only the Poison Douluo, who is skilled in using poison and possesses great strength, has discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in its core area.
Tang Hao had been to Sunset Forest before, but he hadn't gone deep into it. The poisonous miasma that permeated Sunset Forest year-round was harmful to the bodies of Soul Master, so Soul Master would leave immediately after finishing their Soul Hunting.
Tang Hao followed Tang San deeper into the Sunset Forest, feeling a deep unease.
"Yes, Father." Tang San pulled himself out of his thoughts, took a deep breath, and said, "The Herb Garden is deep in the forest. We should be able to get there soon if we just cross this area."
The two cautiously stepped into the forest. The fallen leaves rustled under their feet, and the surroundings were eerily quiet, broken only by the occasional roar of an unknown beast. The further they went, the more damp the air became, with a faint, pungent, fishy smell.
Suddenly, a layer of green mist rose up ahead, resembling a giant venomous snake, slowly surging towards them. Tang San's pupils contracted; this poisonous mist was completely different from what he remembered. In his previous life, he was extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of poisons, and had never seen such a bizarre existence.
"Be careful, Father, something's wrong with this poisonous fog," Tang San warned, his curiosity and confidence driving him to investigate. He activated his Mysterious Heaven Skill, and a faint white light condensed in his Mysterious Jade Hand as he slowly extended it towards the poisonous fog.
However, the instant his fingertips touched the poisonous mist, a piercing, burning pain shot through him. Tang San's expression changed drastically. Before he could react, the green poisonous mist, as if alive, rapidly spread from his fingertips, covering his entire arm in the blink of an eye. The excruciating pain caused him to let out a scream, staggering back several steps.
"Little San!" Tang Hao's expression changed drastically. He flashed and instantly appeared beside Tang San. He raised his hand and unleashed a golden burst of Soul Power, attempting to dispel the strange poisonous mist. However, the mist only dissipated slightly before quickly gathering again.
Tang San gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, circulating his Mysterious Heaven Skill in an attempt to suppress the spread of the poison. However, the toxins in the poisonous mist seemed to possess extremely strong corrosive properties, and his Mysterious Heaven Skill was unable to withstand them.
Just then, a cold laugh came from afar, "Who dares to trespass on the territory of the Spirit Hall!"
Before the words were finished, several figures Flash from the forest. The leader was an old man wearing a white and gold robe, the golden emblem of the Spirit Hall on his chest standing out in the dim forest.
The poisonous fog surrounded the group, but it had no effect on them whatsoever.
Tang Hao's eyes turned cold as he shielded Tang San behind him, his aura exploding instantly. "Spirit Hall? Since when did the core area of Sunset Forest become your territory?"
The leading elder immediately recognized Tang Hao, his voice filled with doubt and confusion. "Tang Hao, I didn't expect you to dare to show up here?"
As a wanted criminal pursued by various forces across the continent, Tang Hao lacked the prestige expected of Titled Douluo and had always lived in hiding like a rat. How dare he show his face today?
How strange!
but...
The elder's gaze fell on Tang San, who was standing behind Tang Hao.
Judging by his age, this must be the child born to that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, right?
"Since you've come to me of your own accord, then stay!"
At the old man's command, the two elders of the Spirit Hall behind him released their Martial Soul, and instantly, Soul Power surged in the forest, creating a tense atmosphere.
Tang Hao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes; a great battle was about to erupt.
······························
Tang San was constantly thinking of a solution. He knew that this time, it wasn't just a crisis from the Spirit Hall; his future had been completely disrupted.
Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Immortal Herb...
Of course, he had already guessed the main reason for the changes in his life.
Spirit Hall!
The fact that Qian Xunji didn't die could be attributed to other factors.
However, the Spirit Hall actually knew about the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and even occupied this precious land in advance.
This cannot be explained by coincidence; the Spirit Hall must have someone who knows about my secrets and opportunities.
What puzzled Tang San was how the person hidden in the Spirit Hall knew this.
He initially kept the existence of the Immortal Herb a secret. Although the Shrek Seven Devils knew of Immortal Herb existence, they didn't know where he obtained it. Later, due to circumstances, he had no choice but to reveal the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Even if it were exposed, those who knew about the Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were all people very close to Tang San, such as the Shrek Seven Devils and his teacher Yu Xiaogang.
The toxins were still raging through his meridians. Tang San leaned against the tree trunk, barely managing to stand, his clothes soaked with cold sweat and clinging to his back.
Looking at the familiar white-gold robes of the Spirit Hall elders ahead, and the eerie poisonous mist that had clearly been artificially modified, a thought slithered into his mind like a venomous snake— Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing...
That's right, Ning Rongrong is the only one who hasn't come to the Shrek Academy in her entire life, and there's a high chance she has a problem.
From his memories, Dai Mubai had vaguely mentioned Zhu Zhuqing's whereabouts, which seemed to indicate that she had joined the Spirit Hall.
The others all remembered spending a considerable amount of time with Tang San, and seemed to have no problems.
Tang San clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, which even suppressed some of the burning pain left by the Mysterious Jade Hand. In his previous life, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were his most trusted partners.
"Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing..." Tang San murmured the name, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Little San, concentrate!" Tang Hao smashed away an incoming poisonous spike with his Clear Sky Hammer, turned around and saw his son distracted, and immediately shouted a reminder.
Tang San snapped back to reality, suppressing the surging suspicion and pain in his heart, and circulated his Mysterious Heaven Skill to resist the spread of the poison. But as his gaze swept over the familiar yet unfamiliar poisonous fog, all sorts of complicated thoughts kept flashing through his mind.
The doubts weighed heavily on his mind, making even the flow of his Soul Power somewhat sluggish.
The sky was overcast, and the crimson aura surrounding Tang Hao blended into the dark clouds. Just as the Spirit Hall elder's ninth Soul Skill left a ferocious purplish-black mark on the ground, he crushed all seven Soul Ring on his back.
"Boom--"
The simultaneous explosion of the seven Soul Ring sent a powerful wind howling for miles around, and crimson energy erupted into the sky like a volcanic eruption. Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer swelled threefold, the golden patterns flowing across its surface intertwining with the light of the exploding Soul Ring to form a blood-red pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth. He leaped into the air, and the Great Sumeru Hammer, carrying a world-destroying aura, crashed down with a devastating force.
The elder's pupils contracted sharply, and he and his companions activated the defensive Soul Skill they had prepared in advance.
Having fought Tang Hao for so many years, he has thoroughly figured out the Clear Sky Hammer's Soul Skill and various abilities.
Tang Hao has been using the "Explosive Ring" move repeatedly, and it has always been effective!
The others were also on guard.
"Father!" Tang San emerged from the shadows of the trees, Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges prepared a new round of Hidden Weapon. Tang Hao, however, grabbed his son's wrist, the remaining fragments of his Soul Ring transforming into streams of light and disappearing into his body. "Go!"
He knew that although the Explosive Ring was incredibly powerful, it would also greatly deplete his life force, and this was the perfect opportunity to escape.
The two figures disappeared into the forest like Gui Mei, leaving behind only a messy battlefield and the lingering stench of blood, telling the story of the thrilling duel that had just taken place.
The rain poured down, and the Sunset Forest, which was originally covered with poisonous miasma, was now shrouded in layers of mist. Blood beads still clung to Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, and the Spirit Hall elders were still in pursuit.
Tang San was held in Tang Hao's hand, and the mechanism in the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges quietly turned, the Dragon Whisker Needle in his palm was ready to be fired.
The moment the platinum figure appeared, Tang San's pupils contracted slightly. He activated three Dragon Whisker Needle simultaneously, unleashing a torrent of golden light. Under the cover of the rain, the fine, thread-like poison needles precisely pierced the elder's vital acupoints.
The elder's expression remained unchanged; His Holiness the Pope had already told him about the child's strangeness beforehand.
The bronze disc at the elder's waist emitted a dazzling blue light.
The moment the Defensive Soul Tool was activated, the golden Dragon Whisker Needle struck the light shield, producing a series of crisp "ding-ding" sounds. The needle tips collided with the light of the Soul Tool, scattering sparks.
"A mere trick!" The elder suddenly flung out several black chains with his left hand. The chains twisted into a strange net in the air, heading straight for Tang San's hiding place. Tang San spun around and retreated quickly, his Mysterious Jade Hand grabbing a protrusion in the rock wall. His Purple Demon Eye reflected the dark purple poison flowing on the chains.
······························
During this battle, Tang San was taken away by Tang Hao and they escaped.
Tang Hao was extremely skilled at running. If he hadn't recently used the Explosive Ring and his body couldn't handle a second Explosive Ring, Tang Hao could have escaped much sooner.
Even though it was just the aftermath of the battle between Titled Douluo, Tang San still suffered serious injuries.
Tang San was dragged away by Tang Hao as they fled. When he saw the Spirit Hall elders trying to pursue them, he would release hidden Hidden Weapon to hinder their pursuit.
However, seeing that all the Hidden Weapon had been blocked and had not had much effect, Tang San's eyes became even more gloomy. In his previous life, he had been invincible when using these Hidden Weapon.
