An Extraordinary Soul Ring Absorption (Seeking Recommendation Votes)

Tang San pushed his limits, grabbing the heavy Clear Sky Hammer with both hands and leaping into the air!

He unleashed a flurry of left-and-right strikes directly onto the Vine Scale Turtle's face.

Forty for the small hammer, eighty for the big one!

The Clear Sky Hammer slammed into the turtle's face, carrying a defense-breaking effect.

Even with the damage significantly reduced, the turtle couldn't help but feel dazed and dizzy from the blows.

If the turtle could speak human language, it would surely have said:

"Seriously, man?! Are you treating me like a nail, and a perfectly aligned one at that?"

Just as Tang San was beating the turtle into agony, Tang Wu, on the other side, was also nearing the end of his battle.

The Blue Emperor Hammer swelled in the wind, its mottled shadow gradually covering the Scale Vine on the ground.

The massive hammerhead was like a wall, while the other end was equipped with thrusters made of Explosive Burning Chili.

Tang Wu held the hammer handle high with his left hand, appearing incredibly small before the massive hammer body.

Yet, this tiny frame could easily lift a behemoth several times its own weight:

"Final strike, time to end you..."

Boom—

Boom—

Boom, boom, boom—

The Explosive Burning Chili ignited, providing power to the thrusters.

With this boost, the Blue Clear Sky Hammer accelerated downward, its force and power multiplying with the increased speed.

The next second.

The Blue Silver Emperor crashed down with a roar!

The Scale Vine whipped its vines frantically, attempting a final, desperate resistance.

But as its vines lashed out, they were ground into dust by the gale force before they could even get near the Blue Clear Sky Hammer.

Bang—

The hammerhead slammed down, causing the surrounding forest to shake as if hit by a minor earthquake.

Tang Wu and Tang San's hammers struck true; despite the Vine Scale Turtle's superior defense, the brothers' combined attack exceeded its critical threshold.

Its innate skill shattered like breaking glass with a loud "pop."

The Scale Vine and the turtle let out a simultaneous shriek before being annihilated by the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Blue Clear Sky Hammer disintegrated back into the Blue Silver Emperor, returning to its original form before finally vanishing.

This move consumed far too much energy; even with Tang Wu's cultivation as a Spirit Grandmaster, he couldn't use it a second time in the short term.

As the Blue Clear Sky Hammer vanished, the scene in the crater was finally revealed.

The Scale Vine's final fate was to be flattened into a two-dimensional map by Tang Wu.

Scale Vine: Friends, I've become a 2D character too...

However, it still had one last drop of health left and hadn't died on the spot.

On one hand, it was due to the Vine Scale Turtle's tenacious vitality, and on the other, Tang Wu didn't want to kill it outright.

He left it with one breath remaining so that Tang San could hunt it and absorb its spirit ring.

"Brother, this Vine Scale Turtle's spirit ring is perfect for you. It not only has abundant vitality but also possesses a damage-sharing ability."

"As the saying goes, a thousand-year turtle is a treasure; this spirit beast couldn't be more suitable."

"Hurry and regulate your breathing, then hunt it. I'll stand guard for you."

"Alright, I'll regulate my breathing to recover my spirit power, restore my state, and then absorb the spirit ring."

Tang San didn't stand on ceremony; he immediately sat down on the spot to rest and began recovering his spirit power.

Tang Wu took on the role of a sentry, staying alert to his surroundings so he could detect even the slightest disturbance.

But he still wasn't satisfied, so he added an extra layer of insurance.

He draped the Blue Silver Grass Ghillie Suit over himself and Tang San, emitting the unique aura of Blue Silver Grass to blend perfectly with the surrounding environment.

The Blue Silver Grass's ability to conceal itself could isolate them from the tracking of most spirit beasts.

The Blue Silver Rammer Truck from earlier had also incorporated this feature, allowing it to remain undetected until the spirit beasts were very close.

Otherwise, the commotion caused by the Hundred-Ton King would have long since alerted the local apex predators, who would have tracked them down by now.

They wouldn't have been able to make it this deep into the forest as they had.

It could be said that when it comes to the development of Blue Silver Grass, if Tang Wu claims second place, no one dares to claim first.

Not even A Yin, the former Blue Silver Emperor.

After finishing these tasks, Tang Wu waited quietly until Tang San woke up and struck the Vine Scale Turtle dead with a single blow.

It is worth mentioning that because the Vine Scale Turtle is a symbiotic soul beast, it requires two finishing blows to truly perish.

The 3,000-year age of the Vine Scale Turtle was not a heavy burden for Tang San.

His second soul ring had already approached 800 years.

A 3,000-year third soul ring was not exactly a difficult feat.

Tang San sat cross-legged, but when he drew the soul rings over, two of them appeared simultaneously.

One belonged to the turtle, and the other to the Scale Vine; both were thousand-year purple rings.

"The main body splits, so why are there two soul rings produced?" Tang Wu couldn't help but speculate: "Could it be that this soul beast is an extremely rare variant, which is why this result occurred?"

However, just as Tang Wu was filled with doubts, Tang San also fell into a dilemma.

In his perception, both thousand-year soul rings could be absorbed; it all depended on his choice.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang San ultimately chose the turtle's soul ring.

After all, the Vine Scale Turtle is the Vine Scale Turtle; when it comes down to it, the turtle is the primary host for the Scale Vine's existence.

But just as Tang San made his decision and prepared to absorb it, the Scale Vine soul ring actually followed him in as well.

This situation was exactly like a scumbag taking off his pants, swearing oaths with his mouth, but acting in a completely different way.

Scale Vine soul ring: I'm just rubbing against it, I won't go inside...

Tang San was a bit panicked at first, as this was his first time absorbing two soul rings at once.

But upon realizing that not only was he fine, but he was actually benefiting, he immediately set his mind at ease.

It makes sense...

The masters of these two soul rings were originally a symbiotic pair; their auras had been intertwined for so many years that they were long inseparable.

Even as soul rings, they would coexist within a single soul master's body.

It truly confirmed that old saying.

Born as your beast, dead as your ring...

What a pair of star-crossed lovers!

Time slipped away quietly, and soon an hour had passed.

Until the very last trace of soul power was integrated into his body, Tang San slowly awakened.

The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately noticed the Ghillie Suit he was wearing and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Wu, what kind of clothing is this? It looks so strange."

"Now is not the time to worry about that, Brother. Hurry and tell me, what kind of soul skill did you obtain!" Tang Wu directly interrupted Tang San's words.

Furthermore, he told him everything he had just witnessed with his own eyes outside.

Hearing that this was the case, Tang San himself was also somewhat surprised.

He then shook his head and said: "I'm not clear on the specific situation either, but when I was absorbing it, I could still vaguely sense it."

"As for the effect of the soul skill..." Tang San actually kept him in suspense at this moment, which really whetted Tang Wu's appetite.

"My state is fully restored now; let's talk while we walk." Still worried about Xiao Wu's situation, Tang San continued to pursue in the direction the Titan Giant Ape had left.

On the way, he finally slowly revealed the soul skill: "It's called Blue Silver Vine Scale Armor. Its ability is to designate a target and reflect half of the damage received back at them."

"The main body also inherits the damage reduction of the Vine Scale Turtle, though it's only 30%, not as outrageous as the original."

After absorbing this soul ring, Tang San's level also leaped from level 30 to break through to level 33.

This was enough to prove just how extraordinary its quality was.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Tang Wu suddenly discovered a difference between this soul ring and ordinary ones.

Pointing at the ring, he suddenly shouted: "Why is there a crack in the middle of this soul ring?!!"
