War Tiger Diamond Transformation, Little Dai Mubai!

Blue Silver Pole Vault?

What kind of thunderous name is that?

[It can't be worse than Mother's Entanglement, right?]

Contemplating this possibility, Qin Yun couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

He had been mocking Gangzi constantly, calling his theories absolute trash, but if Tang San ended up with a soul skill even more embarrassing than Mother's Entanglement under his own guidance, it would be far too much of a slap to the face.

Forcing himself to steady his mind, Qin Yun spoke up.

"Oh? And what are the specific effects of the soul skill?"

"Brother Yun, I'm not quite sure how to explain it, so I'll just demonstrate it for you!"

Scratching his head, Tang San raised his hand and waved it lightly. A strand of Blue Silver Grass, tougher and sharper than ever before, broke through the soil and coiled around his fingertips. With a gentle vibration, it transformed into a straight, bamboo-like long pole.

"This soul skill not only allows the Blue Silver Grass to turn into a sturdy vaulting pole, letting me borrow its force to leap forward, but according to my current Soul Power Level, a single pole vault can cover a range of a hundred meters, greatly increasing my mobility."

"Moreover, during the vaulting process, it can break through illusions, charms, and various negative control skills."

"Besides that, just as you said before, Brother Yun, after absorbing a plant-type soul ring and enhancing the origin of the Blue Silver Grass, it has become as sharp and hard as Solitary Bamboo. The leaves of the Blue Silver Grass now are almost as sturdy and sharp as steel blades; they can be used entirely as hidden weapons."

"With a constant stream of hidden weapons, combined with the various techniques of my Tang Sect, the combat power is simply unimaginable!"

During the era of the first Douluo, due to the broken inheritance of Soul Tools, it didn't matter much in private; one could use any weapon they liked.

However, in public arenas, such as the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, using weapons other than one's own martial soul was strictly prohibited.

This was why the Tang San in the original story never used powerful hidden weapons, at most shattering his Eight Spider Lances to use as blades.

But now, there was no need for such trouble.

As long as the opponent dared to show their head, a barrage of Blue Silver Grass leaves could suppress them like a machine gun.

Yet, unlike Tang San's excitement, after hearing the description, Xiao Wu felt a lingering fear in her heart.

When Qin Yun had told her not to pursue the path of charm earlier, she might have agreed on the surface, but deep down, she had been somewhat unconvinced.

After all, if a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit didn't follow the path of charm, what path was she supposed to take?

But now, upon learning that Tang San's first soul skill could grant immunity to various negative status effects, Xiao Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness I didn't condense a charm soul skill. Otherwise, let alone getting revenge on that woman, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to beat Tang San!

With Xiao Wu and Tang San having revealed their new soul skills, only he and Wang Sheng remained.

The four of them rested briefly, gnawing on dry rations to recover a bit of soul power, before continuing deeper into the Soul Hunting Forest.

The further they ventured into the heart of the dense forest, the more intense the aura of soul beasts became.

Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, the ground was covered in thick, rotting leaves, and the occasional low roar of a beast hinted at dangers far greater than those on the periphery.

Qin Yun led the way, relying on his experience. If he remembered correctly, a suitable soul beast should be in this direction.

He hoped it hadn't been killed by other soul masters or soul beasts.

Luck was on their side; before long, a low tiger roar pierced through the forest, carrying a savage, bestial pressure that bore down directly upon the group.

"Brother Yun?"

"Let's go take a look. That should be it!"

Carefully pushing through the bushes, the four of them spotted a soul beast known as a Flame-Patterned Mountain-Splitting Tiger in the clearing ahead.

The tiger was brownish-yellow all over, its spine covered in flame-like dark patterns. Its muscles were knotted like boulders, and its claws and teeth glinted with a cold light—a standard power-attack type tiger soul beast.

Its fighting style was brutal and direct, relying on brute force to pounce and kill, tearing with sharp claws, shaking souls with tiger roars, and even erupting with faint flames to scorch its enemies.

From this perspective, it was a perfect match for Wang Sheng's War Tiger martial soul.

As for its age...

"The age of a Flame-Patterned Mountain-Splitting Tiger is determined by its tail. The tuft of hair at the tip is yellow now, and its total length is about three meters, which means it is a three-hundred-year-old soul beast."

"If the color at the tip turns purple, that would be three thousand years!"

"Although it hasn't reached four hundred years, it is already quite good among century-level soul beasts, and it can certainly serve as a first soul ring. Wang Sheng, what do you think?"

"I will follow whatever the Sect Master decides!"

Giving you a choice was a sign of respect, but if you were greedy and didn't know when to stop, that would be Wang Sheng being ignorant.

Leaning against a tree trunk, Qin Yun showed no intention of making a move this time, glancing indifferently at Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"You two go ahead, get some practice in, and get used to the soul skills you just acquired."

"Understood!"

Tang San and Xiao Wu understood immediately, and the two figures moved in unison.

A faint glimmer of soul power flickered beneath Xiao Wu's feet as she activated Teleportation, her figure vanishing into thin air.

The next second, before the tiger opposite could even react, Xiao Wu had already appeared atop the Flame-Patterned Mountain-Splitting Tiger.

Her slender leg straightened, and she delivered a fierce kick directly to the tiger's snout!

With a crisp "crack," the tiger's two sharpest fangs were snapped off on the spot, and it let out a shrill howl of agony.

Before it could retaliate, Blue Silver Grass surged from Tang San's fingertips, instantly hardening into a straight bamboo pole as he unleashed Blue Silver Pole Vault with all his might.

He vaulted into the air, gripped the long Blue Silver pole, and descended from above, slamming it heavily onto the tiger's crown!

A dull, heavy thud echoed out; the three-hundred-year soul beast was instantly dazed, its limbs went limp, and it collapsed straight to the ground, knocked completely unconscious.

It was by no means weak, but facing a barrage of sneak attacks, it had lost its chance before it could even put up a fight.

"Wang Sheng!"

As a soul beast herself, Xiao Wu felt a pang of sympathy for the tiger lying unconscious on the ground and slowly turned her head away.

Seeing this, Tang San assumed she was afraid, so he called out to Wang Sheng, telling him to hurry over and finish it off.

Wang Sheng had long been gripping the standard-issue saber at his waist; hearing the call, he rushed forward and drove the blade deep into the tiger's throat, ending the soul beast's life for good.

A bright yellow soul ring slowly rose. After nodding toward Qin Yun, he immediately sat cross-legged to absorb the soul ring with his full focus.

Just as before, Qin Yun stood guard on the sidelines with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

To be honest, unlike the soul rings Tang San and Xiao Wu had obtained, Qin Yun was quite invested in Wang Sheng's soul ring.

After all, in the eyes of the system, he was Huo Yuhao!

Every time his cultivation level increased by a major realm—which meant obtaining a soul ring—he would earn a chance at a lucky draw.

As a Child of Destiny on the Douluo Continent, the number of treasures Huo Yuhao possessed was simply staggering.

I wonder what I'll be able to draw?

A moment later, yellow light erupted from Wang Sheng's body. He snapped his eyes open, his blood and qi surging as a fierce, overbearing soul power rippled outward.

"Hahaha, Sect Master, I've succeeded!

My first soul skill, War Tiger Diamond Transformation!

Not only does it provide a comprehensive boost to strength and defense, making my physical body as hard as diamond, but the duration of the boost lasts for a full half-hour!"

A decent soul skill; he could almost be called a mini-Dai Mubai!
