Chimeric Soul Ring

Tang San heard this and turned his head to look.

He discovered that the facts were indeed as Tang Wu had said.

The purple thousand-year soul ring circuit was broken in the middle, split into two, one on the left and one on the right.

Tang San had never heard of such a situation and was momentarily at a loss:

"What is going on here?"

"How did the soul ring split? Could it be because the Vine Scale Turtle is a symbiotic soul beast?"

"That must be it. If I'm not mistaken, Brother, the soul skill you just probed should only be one half of it."

Tang Wu seemed to have realized something and voiced his speculation.

Since this soul ring was broken and essentially belonged to half an independent soul ring, there were certainly aspects of its effects he did not understand.

The facts were indeed as he had speculated.

Tang San once again sank his consciousness into it to probe the effects of the other half of the soul ring.

The third soul skill, Blue Silver Vine Scale Armor, had two ways of being released.

Excluding the first, the second reduced the damage reduction from 30% to 20%, but as compensation, the reflected damage increased to 70%.

This perfectly matched the offensive characteristics of the Vine Scale.

At first glance, the second effect of this soul skill seemed like something that was tasteless to eat but a pity to discard.

After all, the damage reduction was 10% lower; if you got hit, it would still hurt, and it felt like a bad deal.

Tang San himself thought the same, feeling that this soul skill was completely useless.

But under Tang Wu's reminder, his expression instantly turned from cloudy to clear:

"Brother, have you forgotten the function of your second soul skill?"

"This third soul skill seems useless, but what if you add the state of Blue Silver Connection?"

"One end connects to a teammate, and the other two ends connect to Blue Silver Grass to bear the damage; that's equivalent to three people sharing the damage."

"Forming such a soul skill synergy can reduce the damage taken by the teammate responsible for charging to the minimum."

Tang Wu's imagination was unconstrained.

This soul skill was not a chicken rib at all; it was a divine skill for team combat!

Just imagine.

An enemy activates a berserk state upon meeting, and any attack landed on them is reduced, making it impossible to deal effective damage.

They charge into your team, rampaging, and come out with only minor injuries that don't affect their actions at all.

What a desperate scene that would be!

The key is that in this "berserk" state, their judgment is not affected in the slightest.

There are almost no side effects.

Tang Wu's eloquent talk directly opened the door to a new world for Tang San.

"That's right, Xiao Wu, you're right!"

"I can completely activate the first and second soul skills simultaneously to minimize the damage."

"Since this soul ring is two-in-one yet split into two, without affecting its own functions, why don't we just call it a Chimeric Soul Ring?"

"Brother, do you think that name is alright?"

For this unprecedented and extremely strange soul ring, Tang Wu came up with a fitting name based on its characteristics.

Regarding this.

Tang San didn't really care and said directly:

"Hmm, it's just a name, I don't mind..."

Good grief, is this the treatment of the legendary Child of Destiny?

Even if he lost the Eight Spider Lances external soul bone, something new would come to replace it.

Sometimes, Tang Wu couldn't help but envy his brother's luck.

An unprecedented Chimeric Soul Ring, and Tang San was chosen out of millions to be the first person to eat the crab.

While Tang Wu and Tang San were tracking the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu's mood was both joyful and anxious.

On one hand, she was very happy to be reunited with Er Ming after six years.

But on the other hand, she missed Tang San and Tang Wu very much.

Especially Tang San; Xiao Wu had seen with her own eyes that in order to save her, he was almost stomped to death by Er Ming.

If she hadn't stopped him in time, she would never have seen her Third Brother again.

Thinking of this.

Standing on the palm of the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu stood up immediately, hands on her hips, looking like a big sister scolding her little brother:

"Er Ming, it's all your fault. Why did you have to be so heavy-handed with those humans earlier? They are my companions, after all."

However.

Facing Xiao Wu's reprimand, the majestic overlord of the forest, the Titan Giant Ape, acted just like a child who had done something wrong.

He dared not talk back at all, only looking at her with a pitiful, aggrieved expression.

"Alright, Er Ming, I didn't mean to scold you."

"It's just that I have transformed into a human now, and I can't be as close to you and Da Ming in public as I was before."

Seeing the aggrieved look on the Titan Giant Ape's face, Xiao Wu softened and hurriedly explained.

"Roar----"

Since he wasn't very good at human language, the Titan Giant Ape could only use roars to communicate.

But fortunately.

Even though Xiao Wu had transformed, she hadn't forgotten the soul beast language entirely.

"Ah? You're asking why I must go into human society?"

"That's because although transformed soul beasts look like humans on the surface, there are still huge differences inside. Only by interacting with humans more can I understand everything about them."

"I haven't been back for a few years, but the scenery of the Star Dou Forest is still as beautiful as ever."

Xiao Wu sat on the edge of the Titan Giant Ape's palm, her long legs dangling and swinging as she looked down at the horizon from high above.

Actually...

There was another reason why she insisted on integrating into human society.

That was, through her growing time spent with Tang Wu and Tang San, she had become accustomed to the identity of a younger sister.

She even particularly enjoyed this pampering.

In the process, her relationship with Tang San had developed into a state of being more than friends, but not yet lovers.

Of course, this was something Xiao Wu would never tell Er Ming.

Next.

Xiao Wu shared the interesting things that had happened over the past six years with the Titan Giant Ape while admiring the beautiful scenery, and the Titan Giant Ape listened silently, letting out a roar from time to time.

Just like that, the human and the beast chatted intermittently.

Suddenly.

The Titan Giant Ape sensed a fleeting aura a hundred meters away.

Although this aura was so faint it was almost imperceptible, with his hundred-thousand-year-old perception, he still caught it.

Er Ming immediately looked over vigilantly: "Who is it? Come out, roar----"

"What's wrong, Er Ming? Did something happen?"

Seeing the Titan Giant Ape's reaction, Xiao Wu looked over in a hurry.

Then, she saw Tang Wu walking out from the bushes, and... Tang San.

Xiao Wu locked eyes with them, her tone hesitant:

"San... Brother San, is that you?"

It wasn't her fault for not recognizing him immediately.

It was simply because.

After absorbing the soul ring of the Vine Scale Turtle, Tang San's changes were quite significant.

His hair, which previously only had blue highlights at the edges, was now one-tenth blue, gradually approaching the scale of Tang Wu's.

His originally ordinary features had become softer and possessed a bit more heroic spirit.

Tang San looked at the Titan Giant Ape, then at Xiao Wu, who was safe and sound in the Titan Giant Ape's palm, his tone extremely complex:

"It's me, Xiao Wu..."

"It's just that I was worried, but now it seems you didn't need my rescue at all."

Standing by as a background character, Tang Wu found this scene rather interesting.

Oh ho----

Now, there's a good show to watch...

If the conditions allowed, he would have wanted to set up a bench and hold a bag of popcorn.

As soon as Tang San said this, Xiao Wu's pupils shook, and she suddenly remembered her current situation.

A Great Soul Master under level 30 sitting nonchalantly on a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast—who would believe there was no connection between them?

But in this situation, she still wanted to struggle a little:

"Um, Brother San, Brother Wu, listen to my... ah, no, listen to my explanation..."
