Flender's Heart Pounded; He Was Helpless Against Tang San

[Little Witch]: Emerald Eight Spider Lances... What a nice name! A-Qing, quickly take a picture and see, it must look really cool!

Ning Rongrong is most susceptible to things that are both beautiful and powerful.

[Daddy Douluo]: I'll show you later, it's not appropriate now.

[Little Witch]: By the way, did A-Qing get her Fourth Spirit Ring?

Ning Rongrong knew, of course, that Lin Qingmo had already obtained his Fourth Spirit Ring, and that it was a 30,000-year-old one.

But she wanted to know what Lin Qingmo's Fourth Spirit Ring was, and what his Fourth Spirit Ability was.

I'm just so curious.

Zhu Zhuqing was equally curious.

[Daddy Douluo]: Yes, I've already obtained it easily. This time, I was able to reliably absorb Soul Hunting Thirty-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring thanks to my Master's timely protection. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy.

He was genuinely grateful.

The situation seemed to be going smoothly at the time, but with Bibi Dong backing him up, he felt truly confident.

Xiao Wu looked at the chat history, her eyes flickering.

[A Rogue Rabbit]: "A-Qing's Master..."

Her expression darkened.

Everything that happened back then flashed before my eyes again, along with that feeling of helplessness watching A-Qing being persecuted.

But... I can't tell A-Qing.

Meanwhile, Liu Erlong's curiosity was piqued again.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Thirty-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring! A-Qing, tell me quickly, what kind of Soul Beast did you kill? It wasn't some kind of Immortal Herb Spirit Ring again, was it?

Lin Qingmo smiled; he had been waiting for someone to ask.

[Daddy Douluo]: It's a pity it's not Immortal Herb Spirit Ring, but I personally think that the quality of this Spirit Ring is even better than that of Immortal Herb.

[Big-Breasted Kitty]: More than Immortal Herb?

[Daddy Douluo]: That's right, its name is Thunderous Hell Vine, a very rare Plant-type Spirit Beast.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Thunder... What vine? Never heard of it before.

[Little Witch]: +1! The name is cool, but I've never heard of it before. A-Qing, please explain!

Lin Qingmo organized his thoughts and began to describe.

[Daddy Douluo]: Looks like none of you have watched Douluo III.

Lin Qingmo wasn't surprised by this.

If it weren't for some chance encounters, he wouldn't have watched Douluo III and Douluo IV.

To be honest, he himself couldn't stand watching the later stages of Douluo II, especially Tang San's actions like the Valley of Love and Emotion.

The Chat Group Member had complained about it many times, and after learning that the protagonist of Douluo III was Tang San's son, they all ran away as fast as they could.

[Daddy Douluo]: In short, the Thunderous Hell Vine is Soul Beast that appeared in the Legend of the Dragon King in Douluo III.

[Daddy Douluo]: This thing's cultivation method is practically self-torture. It grows by absorbing Thunder, and it has to be struck by lightning every now and then.

[Daddy Douluo]: But playing with lightning like this comes at a high price. The vast majority of Thunderous Hell Vine die from the heavenly lightning they attract before they can grow up; they are simply gambling with their lives.

The group fell silent again, this time with a sense of astonishment.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Damn, there are such bizarre Soul Beast? Getting struck by lightning every day, that's too miserable, living is just suffering.

Liu Erlong is outspoken and straightforward.

She certainly didn't think being struck by lightning every day was a good thing.

[Big-Breasted Kitty]: The world is full of wonders. Relying on such an extreme way of evolution, the chances of survival are slim, but A-Qing encountered a life form that is tens of thousands of years old. It is truly a tenacious life.

Zhu Zhuqing sighed.

Even though he was struck by lightning every day, he still managed to have ten thousand years of cultivation.

This Soul Beast is definitely not simple.

[Bingbing]: Hmph.

Ice Empress uttered a cold syllable.

[Bingbing]: Soul Beast undergo Heavenly Tribulation every 100,000 years, which is already a life-or-death ordeal. This Soul Beast actually has to endure Thunder tempering for many years and can live for 10,000 years. Its willpower is quite strong.

Her tone remained haughty, but unusually, it carried a subtle hint of recognition towards her "colleagues."

[Heavenly Snow Woman]: The power of Thunder is violent and unpredictable. She uses it to temper herself, but the pain is far greater than that of ordinary cultivation. It is truly not easy to reach 30,000 years.

Snow Empress's evaluation was exceptionally objective and carried considerable weight.

[Little Witch]: "This is incredible! So unlucky yet so resilient, it sounds like a legend!"

Ning Rongrong's girlish heart is most vulnerable to such tragic yet powerful stories.

[Daddy Douluo]: "That's right, I just got lucky. I ran into it after it failed to withstand the lightning and was exhausted, so I managed to get a bargain."

[Daddy Douluo]: Its Spirit Ring unexpectedly matched my life attributes. After absorbing them, my Soul Power increased by 5 levels, and I also gained the ability to control lightning.

He also sent a grinning emoji.

Lin Qingmo, on the other hand, enjoyed the fun of chatting and interacting with Ning Rongrong and the others from a distance.

In reality, however, the situation is quite different.

The carriage swayed and rocked, but the atmosphere inside was quiet.

Tang San sat in the corner of the carriage, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

He kept his mouth tightly shut, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Lin Qingmo profile, his eyes filled with barely suppressed malice and resentment.

Dai Mubai was also preoccupied with his own thoughts.

His gaze lingered on Zhu Zhuqing most of the time.

But her attention was almost entirely focused on the scenery outside the window, or rather, on the Chat Group Light Screen that Dai Mubai couldn't see.

Seeing that she paid no attention to him at all, Dai Mubai felt a tightness in his chest.

The girl who once followed him to Shrek, with a stubborn yet disappointed look in her eyes, seems to be drifting further and further away from him.

How can he win him back?

strength?

status?

Or... something else?

For the first time, he felt somewhat lost and powerless.

Not long after.

Shrek and his friends returned to Shrek.

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's report, Flender dropped his teacup to the ground.

"You encountered Titan Giant Ape?!"

His voice changed tone, and his eyes behind his glasses widened.

Zhao Wuji nodded with a wry smile.

He then recounted the entire harrowing experience.

Flender was terrified, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

That's the King of the Forest! These children are incredibly lucky to have come back alive.

But the next message made him frown.

"Oscar's Spirit Ring absorption was interrupted, and he failed to absorb the Spirit Ring, missing out on the best Spirit Ring? Old Zhao, what happened?"

Zhao Wuji sighed and described Tang San's behavior at the time in detail.

Flender's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened.

Interrupting someone else's absorption of Spirit Ring is no small matter.

Soul Master cultivation relies on chance; a single failure may cause one to miss out on the most suitable Spirit Ring.

Not to mention that Oscar has always been very hardworking, yet he's been held back like this.

"Tang San also provoked the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny?"

Flender adjusted his glasses, feeling a throbbing sensation in his temples.

How come this kid always gets into trouble?

The Dragon Duke and Snake Granny are notoriously difficult to deal with in the Soul Master World. Offending them means you have to be extremely careful when Soul Hunting in the Star Dou Great Forest.

His impression of Tang San dropped even further.

Zhao Wuji asked Flender if Tang San should give Oscar an explanation.

After pondering for a moment, Flender sighed deeply, "Old Zhao, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about this. Behind Tang San's back..."

Damn it!

Zhao Wuji was also consumed by impotent rage.

But there was nothing they could do; it was Tang San's father, Tang Hao.

"Let's give Little Ao more care in the future as compensation; that's the only thing we can do."

Zhao Wuji nodded and continued his report.

However, what he said next almost made Flender jump out of his chair.

"What did you say? Lin Qingmo's Fourth Spirit Ring is 30,000 years old?!"

Zhao Wuji nodded vigorously, a look of lingering satisfaction on his face.

"Don't even mention you, when I saw that black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, I was stunned myself. Qingmo is truly a Monster."

Flender was stunned for several seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

Good lad!

Absorbing Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring on the fourth ring is unprecedented in the entire history of Soul Master.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his impression of Lin Qingmo couldn't be better.

This is a true genius, a true Monster!
