Douluo: Martial Soul Ah Yin, Exposing Tang San's True Colors

Around the Lazy Tree, just as Teacher Xiong had said, the ground was covered in its emerald leaves.

These leaves looked like glazed glass, shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight, which was very attractive to soul beasts... and women.

Some noblewomen had once wanted to take the leaves of the Lazy Tree back to use as decorations, or even to have them made into jewelry.

But unfortunately, the leaves of the Lazy Tree were one-time use; unless they came into contact with soil, they would immediately take effect and slow down whoever touched them.

"Teacher, how come we don't see any soul beasts?" the Twin Brother Older asked in a low voice.

"You brat, do you think soul beasts that have lived for hundreds of years are idiots?"

"Even if their intelligence isn't as high as us humans, they still have their own ways of surviving."

"Those soul beasts might be hiding in some corner, waiting for an unsuspecting soul beast to wander into their territory."

Teacher Xiong stared cautiously at the surroundings of the Lazy Tree, afraid of missing any detail: "Once slowed down, that soul beast becomes a lamb for the slaughter in the eyes of the territory's owner."

"Hiss--" the Twin Brother Older drew a slight breath, then nodded.

He had always thought soul beasts were just animals that relied on brute force, but now, hearing his teacher's words, he realized how terrifying these creatures truly were.

After waiting in place for about a quarter of an hour, and sensing that there were indeed no soul beasts guarding the area, Teacher Xiong's tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Phew—looks like we're in luck, running into something ownerless."

"Hehe, Su Yun, your luck is really good."

"This Lazy Tree doesn't have any offensive capabilities at all, so it should be easy for you to take down."

"Judging by the height of that Lazy Tree, it's at least over three hundred years old, which is just right for you."

Teacher Xiong patted Su Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I won't say much more; you have your own judgment. Since you want it, go ahead and hunt for your first soul ring."

Seeing this, the twin brothers beside them immediately looked at Su Yun with expressions of envy.

To be able to obtain a soul ring without effort, or even without having to fight a soul beast.

Plant-type martial souls really are easy.

Su Yun didn't hesitate, picking up the long spear in his hand and preparing to step forward.

However, before he could take a single step, a familiar, strange sensation surged from his left hand into his heart.

The nearby Blue Silver Grass was warning him!

There is danger!

Su Yun's footsteps faltered, he took a step back, and whispered: "Danger, get down!"

Teacher Xiong was the first to react. For some reason, he suddenly found that he trusted what Su Yun said, so he hurriedly pressed down on the twin brothers beside him.

The four people who had been standing suddenly dropped to the ground, with only four pairs of eyes peeking out from the grass toward the outside.

Just as Teacher Xiong was about to ask Su Yun what was happening, a tremor from the distance vibrated through the ground and into his chest.

Rumble--

Accompanied by the intensifying tremors, a wild bull, a full two meters tall and covered in wild flame patterns, stepped on fire and suddenly appeared before the four of them.

"Blazing Savage Bull!" Teacher Xiong's pupils shrank abruptly.

"It must have been attracted by the scent of the Lazy Tree's leaves, just like us." Su Yun frowned slightly.

The Blazing Savage Bull before them was clearly over six hundred years old. In terms of pure strength, even Teacher Xiong beside him was no match for this Blazing Savage Bull.

Furthermore, the Blazing Savage Bull's defensive power was top-tier, and it could even spew high-temperature flames during battle.

On top of that, the Blazing Savage Bull had a stubborn temper; once it locked onto a target, it would hunt it until death.

Therefore, ordinary soul master teams entering the Soul Hunting Forest would try their best to avoid encountering one.

As soon as the Blazing Savage Bull arrived, its two eyes immediately locked onto the emerald-green Lazy Tree.

"Moo~"

The Blazing Savage Bull appeared extremely excited.

"Su Yun, this Blazing Savage Bull is extremely troublesome. Are you sure you don't need my help?" Teacher Xiong asked in a low voice, watching the highly excited Blazing Savage Bull.

Even for him, facing the Blazing Savage Bull would require a great deal of effort.

Let alone Su Yun, who had no soul skills?

I certainly want your help... Su Yun muttered to himself.

"No, Teacher, I still want to rely on my own strength." Su Yun gripped his long spear and looked at Teacher Xiong with a smile, "If I really can't hold on later, you must come to save me quickly, Teacher."

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yun's figure instantly turned into an arrow released from a bow, shooting out!

"Wow! Su Yun's speed is so fast!"

"Is he really a tool soul master? Can a Blue Silver Grass martial soul actually give a soul master a speed boost?"

Seeing Su Yun's speed, which far exceeded that of others, the twin brothers exclaimed in succession.

Teacher Xiong did not answer, instead keeping his gaze locked firmly on Su Yun.

If Su Yun showed any signs of defeat, he would have to intervene immediately.

Thinking of this, the soul power within Teacher Xiong began to circulate slowly once more.

"Hum!"

A cold glint arrived first, followed by the spear striking like a dragon!

Just as the Blazing Savage Bull was walking toward the Lazy Tree with great interest, the moment its hooves touched the leaves on the ground and its speed slowed, a sharp whistling sound of a spear piercing the air suddenly rang out beside its ear!

Having practiced his spear technique for so long, Su Yun would naturally not let this opportunity to strike go to waste.

He intended to use this Blazing Savage Bull... to consecrate his spear!

During his month of bitter training, Su Yun had often searched for soul beasts in the mountains behind the academy to practice his spear technique.

However, he had never killed a single soul beast.

It wasn't that he was soft-hearted, but rather that he truly felt there was no point in killing a soul beast under a hundred years old.

To find a soul beast to consecrate his spear, he had to find a powerful one!

"Swish!"

The spear light was like a star, flashing instantly across the eyes of the Blazing Savage Bull.

Su Yun stepped with the Wind God Leg, executing Catching the Wind and Grasping the Shadow, and caught the exact moment the Blazing Savage Bull was unable to react!

This strike was aimed precisely at the Blazing Savage Bull's eyes!

Given Su Yun's relatively small and thin build, facing a large soul beast like the Blazing Savage Bull, his primary goal was to strip the latter of its advantages.

And the latter's advantage was none other than its eyes.

Once it lost its vision, no matter how strong the Blazing Savage Bull's combat power was, given its limited intelligence, it would only end up being besieged and killed by other soul beasts.

Su Yun's strategy was correct.

However, he had miscalculated one thing.

That was that the Blazing Savage Bull did not just possess brute strength; it also possessed fire!

"Boom!"

Just as the spear in Su Yun's hand was about to pierce the Blazing Savage Bull's eye, coming within an inch of it, a tiny flame suddenly flickered out from the bull's eye.

The next second, a chain of fire, resembling a flame serpent, suddenly shot out from the Blazing Savage Bull's pupils!

"Hiss!"

The moment the flame chain touched the spear, it seemed to come alive, spiraling directly upward and lunging toward Su Yun like a python locking onto its target!

Seeing this, Su Yun frowned, but he did not panic. He silently recited the mantra for one of the fifty stances of the Prairie Fire Spear Technique, gripped the cold spear shaft tightly with both palms, and his arms, thin as lotus roots, suddenly erupted with immense power.

The power, gushing out like a fountain, was driven by his shoulders, causing the spear in his hand to vibrate rapidly like a struck gong.

Under that high-speed, violent trembling, the aggressive Flame Spirit Snake coiled around the spear shaft immediately burst apart, dissipating into pale red soul power in the surrounding air.

This method of neutralizing the Blazing Savage Bull's attack caused Teacher Xiong, who was hiding in the shadows and nearly ready to intervene, to drop his jaw in shock.

Not to mention the two twin brothers who were just bystanders.

"Su Yun, don't be afraid! The Flame Pupil of the Blazing Savage Bull requires a half-hour interval before it can be used again!" Teacher Xiong suddenly recalled the weakness of the Blazing Savage Bull and shouted a reminder.

"Is that so?" Hearing Teacher Xiong's reminder, Su Yun understood.

He locked his calm gaze on the Blazing Savage Bull before him, maintaining a steady breath to keep the consumption of his soul power to a minimum.

"Let's try some other moves!"

With this thought in mind, Su Yun, who had retreated, moved once again, engaging the Blazing Savage Bull in close combat.
