God King Tang in High Spirits

Level forty-two?

Gu Yuan looked at the "Tang Ya" who had released black Blue Silver Grass, a faint suspicion forming in his heart.

As if to prove himself to Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Huabin was the first to step forward. "I'll go first."

As he spoke, he wasted no time.

A pale white light erupted as Dai Huabin's arms simultaneously extended to either side.

Two yellow and one purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet. Having completed White Tiger Possession, Dai Huabin charged at Tang San like a tiger descending the mountain.

Facing Dai Huabin's attack, Tang San's expression remained unchanged. He merely raised his right hand slowly, the corner of his mouth curling in disdain as he said to Dai Huabin:

"If you can break through my third soul skill, I'll admit defeat automatically."

Dai Huabin's heart jolted. Not just him.

Even the others watching the battle fixed their attention on Tang San.

Gu Yuan wanted to see his strength and further confirm the suspicion in his heart. The others were curious about the strength of this young girl, who had cultivated a Blue Silver Grass martial soul to the Soul Ancestor realm at such an age.

Setting external factors aside, Dai Huabin was still one of the most outstanding geniuses of this era.

Upon hearing Tang San's words, he did not hesitate in the slightest. His third soul ring immediately lit up.

Third Soul Skill—White Tiger Vajra Transformation erupted.

The muscles across his body suddenly swelled, golden patterns appearing on his skin. Following Martial Soul Possession, he completed a second-stage transformation.

Naturally, Tang San could not possibly use his third soul skill, Spider Web Restraint, right from the start.

Thus, the instant Dai Huabin completed his second-stage transformation, Tang San activated his first soul skill—Entanglement.

Countless pitch-black vines surged forth. Some shot into the air, some slid along the ground, and some circled around from the sides, rushing toward Dai Huabin from every direction.

They were incredibly fast.

With nowhere to evade, Dai Huabin watched the black vines coil toward him. He simply stopped dodging and charged straight into them.

He intended to rely on brute force to break Tang San's Entanglement skill.

But after taking only three steps, his burly body came to a halt.

Dai Huabin instinctively tried to break free with his own strength, but the instant he exerted himself, he realized something was wrong.

This unusual black Blue Silver Grass was actually devouring his Soul Power.

It left him unable even to use his first two soul skills.

As a Soul Douluo, Du Weilun naturally noticed this as well and could not help letting out a soft cry of surprise.

Greatly alarmed, Dai Huabin did not dare hesitate. The blades of his tiger claws swiftly sprang forth from both hands.

At a certain frequency, they vibrated violently against the Blue Silver Grass.

They were just about to cut into the pitch-black Blue Silver Grass vines.

But Tang San gave him no such chance. His third soul ring lit up, and a black ball of light silently flew from his hand.

Dai Huabin knew that this ball of light was likely Tang San's third soul skill. Without caring about his appearance, he threw himself to one side.

This was no time to worry about appearances. It was a matter of victory or defeat. If he won, or held out for longer than the time it took an incense stick to burn, everything would still be fine.

But if he lost so easily, he would be utterly humiliated.

Buzz!

Before everyone's eyes, the black ball of light instantly unfurled, transforming into a massive net over two and a half zhang in diameter that abruptly engulfed him.

Dai Huabin felt his entire body tighten as an even fiercer and faster devouring force than before erupted.

The Soul Power within Dai Huabin's body was instantly drained dry. He went limp, like a soft-legged shrimp, losing all ability to react. Without Soul Power to sustain it, his martial soul uncontrollably withdrew back into his body.

"Is that really Blue Silver Grass? How can it be so powerful...?"

Everyone's scalps tingled.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong in particular had personally witnessed Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor.

If Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor contained the power of Life, then "Tang Ya's" Blue Silver Grass contained devouring power.

It could actually devour an enemy's Soul Power and turn it to its own use.

In some ways, it was even more terrifying than the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Tang Ya, your Blue Silver Grass should be a mutated martial soul, right?" Du Weilun looked at Tang San.

"Yes, Director. During one of my training expeditions, I fought soul beasts, and my Blue Silver Grass transformed into Dark Blue Silver Grass. By absorbing an opponent's Soul Power, it can restrain them."

Tang San had no intention of concealing it.

After all, he was already a student of Shrek.

As long as one was a Shrek student, even if one possessed a martial soul with an Evil attribute, one would not be classified as an Evil Soul Master so long as one did not openly commit evil deeds.

Conversely, if one was not a Shrek student, then even if one had never harmed anyone—

As long as one possessed a martial soul with an Evil attribute, one would be classified as an Evil Soul Master.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Du Weilun merely nodded and said nothing.

Then he looked at Dai Huabin and said:

"Dai Huabin, although you did not last through one incense stick's time, it is truly rare for someone your age to cultivate to the rank of Soul Elder. From this moment onward, you are officially a member of Shrek Outer Court's Elite Class."

Dai Huabin felt a surge of anger, but he did not respond. After Tang San withdrew the Blue Silver Grass binding him, he simply sat down cross-legged and began meditating to recover his Soul Power.

He was as stubborn as a child who would never grow up.

Tang San gave Wang Dong'er a deep look and said, "Next, all of you come at me together. As long as you can last one incense stick's time against me, you will still be considered to have passed."

At that moment, Tang San seemed to have returned to his days studying at Shrek, looking as spirited and high-spirited as ever.

Back then, he had defeated one opponent after another in exactly this way.

Since he had been able to do it in his previous life, he believed he could do the same in this life.

Du Weilun did not object to Tang San's words. He merely watched the remaining candidates quietly.

Zhu Zhuqing, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao looked at one another. Then, together with Ning Tian and Wu Feng, they all instinctively turned their gazes toward Gu Yuan.

Among the remaining candidates, Gu Yuan was the only one who might possess Tang Ya's level of strength.

There was no helping it. His mutated Blue Silver Grass martial soul was simply too strange.

Gu Yuan stepped forward and said calmly, "No need. I alone am enough."

Tang San only felt that he was being looked down upon, but it did not matter.

He merely needed to defeat his opponent normally.

"Then let's begin."

Tang San wasted no words. Pitch-black Dark Blue Silver Grass vines shot out like long serpents, their branches spreading as every strand drew taut.

They lunged forward with the Dark Blue Silver Grass's distinctive devouring power.

Compared to his earlier assault against Dai Huabin, it was like the difference between an adult and a child—there was simply no comparison.

But in the next second, an even more shocking sight unfolded before everyone.

Four soul rings—three purple and one black—rose abruptly from beneath Gu Yuan's feet, and an Ice Dragon with a wingspan of more than ten meters spiraled into view.

What had they just seen? Gu Yuan actually possessed three thousand-year soul rings and one ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Ning Rongrong was even unable to restrain her excitement as she cried out inwardly, Is this what a Child of Destiny is?

Not only did his soul ring configuration far surpass that of ordinary people, but his martial soul was also the Ice Dragon King, one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings.

Compared to Tang San back then, he was far stronger.
