Old Tang, Self-Service Soul Ring?

Prison-Face Asura, this was Mu Chen's second Martial Soul.

This Martial Soul did not come with an innate weapon; it was simply a humanoid Martial Soul.

With the Ocean Martial Soul combined with the Prison-Face Asura, not to mention the innate weapon Trident, this configuration made it difficult for Mu Chen not to associate it with something.

Just as he looked up at the sky, he was unaware that a pair of eyes were watching him in return.

In the God Realm, within the Sea God Temple.

Tang San held a crystal ball in his left hand, displaying the image of Mu Chen.

Originally, he had been properly monitoring Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny of the Douluo Continent.

However, just a moment ago, the image in the crystal ball shifted, and the figure of Mu Chen appeared before Tang San's eyes.

Looking at the Trident in his hand, Tang San felt a sense of unease.

His keen intuition as a God King prompted him to subconsciously investigate that Trident.

He was shocked by what he discovered.

The Trident that accompanied Mu Chen's Ocean Martial Soul was actually an unawakened divine artifact!

Even in its unawakened state, its strength was on par with a top-tier tool Martial Soul.

What kind of Martial Soul could possibly be accompanied by a divine artifact? Could it be that he was the true Child of Destiny?

A series of questions bombarded Tang San's mind like cannonballs.

He compared them repeatedly, confirming that Huo Yuhao was the true Child of Destiny, not Mu Chen.

This was strange; the Child of Destiny had awakened a very ordinary, perhaps even trash-tier Martial Soul, while this boy named Mu Chen possessed such top-tier Martial Souls and an innate divine artifact.

In the end, Tang San reached his own unique conclusion: the plane's consciousness was blind and had chosen a loser as the Child of Destiny.

Looking at Mu Chen, who possessed two Martial Souls so compatible with his own, Tang San found him more and more pleasing to the eye.

The fact that the boy also had a Trident made him even more favorable.

Thus, Tang San made a bold decision.

What was a Child of Destiny chosen by the plane's consciousness compared to a successor chosen and cultivated by himself?

With that, Tang San immediately cast a strand of divine sense, which flew into Mu Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, Mu Chen had just retracted his Martial Soul and was fiddling with his Trident.

The Trident was over two meters long, and given Mu Chen's current height, it was still a bit cumbersome to handle.

Fortunately, it didn't feel heavy in his hands, weighing perhaps only ten pounds or so.

Although Mu Chen was only a six-year-old child, having awakened his Martial Soul and possessing level ten soul power, his physical fitness had already improved significantly.

Once he absorbed soul rings and grew a bit older, he would surely be able to wield the weight of the Trident with ease.

But the problem now was that he had never learned any combat techniques for the Trident.

He could try using it to spear fish, but for combat, he figured it would be no different from a fire poker.

"How exactly is this thing supposed to be used?"

Just as Mu Chen was fretting and complaining, his vision suddenly went black.

When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in a different space.

"What the, where is this?"

Mu Chen was nervous yet curious, looking around his surroundings.

"This is your Sea of Consciousness."

At that moment, a gentle voice echoed in Mu Chen's ears.

A golden figure appeared before Mu Chen.

The visitor radiated golden light, his face obscured, with long golden hair reaching his waist and a slender build.

"Who are you?!"

Before understanding the situation, Mu Chen chose to remain vigilant.

The golden figure let out a chuckle.

"No need to be nervous, I mean no harm."

Mu Chen could not see his face, but he could feel the other party watching him.

The figure looked at Mu Chen, seemingly appraising or perhaps admiring him.

"Let me introduce myself; you can call me Old Tang."

Old Tang.

Mu Chen was all too familiar with this name. In Legend of the Dragon King, the strand of divine sense left behind by Tang San in Tang Wulin's Sea of Consciousness was called Old Tang.

It seemed he had truly caught Tang San's eye.

"Then why have you appeared in my Sea of Consciousness?"

"I cannot say, I can only tell you that my appearance is definitely not a bad thing for you."

Mu Chen understood; it seemed this Old Tang before him was the same model as the one for Tang Wulin.

Since that was the case, Mu Chen decided to play along with his scheme.

You, Tang San, intend to turn me into a second Dai Yuhao, then I shall grant your wish. But in the end, whether you control me or I control you, that remains to be seen!

Thinking this, Mu Chen stopped dwelling on the existence of Old Tang.

"Suit yourself. Now, how do I leave my Sea of Consciousness?"

"I will send you out. Afterward, if you wish to enter again, just control it within your heart."

Old Tang waved his hand, and Mu Chen's consciousness returned to reality.

Now, the problem Mu Chen had to consider was his first soul ring.

He lived by the sea, so if he wanted a soul ring, he could just go into the ocean to obtain one.

But the problem was, where could he find a soul master to help him obtain a soul ring?

Zhang Tao was just an ordinary person; it was impossible for him to know any soul masters.

There were no mercenary groups nearby to help with obtaining soul rings either.

The city lord of Coastal City was indeed a soul master, and given Mu Chen's talent, he would certainly be able to persuade him.

However, if he did that, Mu Chen would owe a favor.

In the Douluo Three Kingdoms, many commoner soul masters became bound to the noble lords the moment they awakened their martial souls and incurred a debt of gratitude, which was not what Mu Chen desired.

"Old Tang, since you say your existence is of no harm to me, then help me resolve the issue of my first soul ring."

After he entered his Sea of Consciousness, Old Tang's figure emerged as well.

"That is simple. Go to the seaside now; once you arrive, I will tell you the method."

Pushing open the door, Mu Chen headed toward the harbor by the sea.

Meanwhile, the city lord of Coastal City had also come to Zhang Tao's bun shop, looking for Mu Chen.

Mu Chen gave a few perfunctory excuses and sent him away.

As a registered Innate Full Soul Power holder, the city lord of Coastal City would not dare to do anything to Mu Chen.

Coastal City had only one harbor by the sea, and Mu Chen headed straight for it.

Upon arriving at the harbor, following Old Tang's guidance, Mu Chen came to a secluded beach.

"Now, release your martial soul and enter the ocean."

Mu Chen nodded and immediately released his martial soul.

The Ocean Martial Soul appeared, and the Trident was held in his left hand.

Releasing the Ocean Martial Soul while standing by the sea, Mu Chen felt the soul power within his body surge.

He stepped into the ocean, and his martial soul quietly merged with the sea at that moment.

It was a very strange sensation; Mu Chen felt as if his martial soul had grown larger, or rather, that the martial soul had fused with the seawater surrounding him.

"Alright, next, just wait for it to deliver itself to your door."

Before Mu Chen could ask what Old Tang meant by that, the Trident in his left hand suddenly erupted with a dazzling blue-gold light.

A strange ripple, centered on the Trident, began to spread outward continuously.
