Tang San: Lin Hao Is Truly a God!

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang continued exploring the Star Dou Great Forest with Meng Yiran, helping her hunt a suitable Soul Beast.

Chao Tianxiang said, "Old man, I feel like that child was eager for us to leave?"

Thinking of Lin Hao, Meng Shu nodded in agreement. "I have the same feeling. Strange. Why was he so eager for us to leave?"

Chao Tianxiang shook her head. She could not think of why Lin Hao had been in such a hurry to make her leave. Noticing Meng Yiran lowering her head, she asked, "Yiran, what are you thinking about?"

Meng Yiran was startled out of her thoughts by the voice. "I was thinking about that boy. Do you think I should use the pill he gave me?"

Chao Tianxiang smiled. "This is good stuff. After taking it, I still haven't discovered any side effects. This is the first time I've seen a pill that can increase strength. It is practically the same as having the support of an auxiliary Spirit Master!"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu suddenly said, "What a pity. We didn't ask that child's name. Judging by his bearing, his Soul Power Level does not seem low. His words and actions were also entirely proper, without a trace of arrogance. He will surely become a rare talent in the future!"

"Then... what about Tang San?" Meng Yiran suddenly asked Meng Shu. "Grandpa, what do you think of Tang San?"

"Tang San... Tang San is a mature boy. His talent is also outstanding. At such a young age, he has already reached level thirty." Meng Shu paused, then asked pointedly, "Yiran, why did you suddenly ask about Tang San? Do you like Tang San?"

"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? I only wanted you to compare Tang San with his big brother. I was thinking, if I defeat his big brother, wouldn't that be the same as defeating Tang San?"

(PS: Should Meng Yiran be taken in? Leave a comment here. Type 1 for yes; type 2 for no. Majority rules. If she is taken in, her role will be expanded later.)

On the other side of the Star Dou Forest, Tang San had already begun absorbing the Spirit Ring.

Pfft!

Tang San, who had just begun absorbing the Spirit Ring, painfully spat out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone looked toward Lin Hao. They had not forgotten how strongly Lin Hao had wanted Tang San to absorb this Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring.

Feeling everyone's gazes, Lin Hao said in a deep voice, "A Man Faced Demon Spider's cultivation can be judged by the length of its legs. This one's legs are over three meters long, meaning it is already two thousand years old. That exceeds the limit for an ordinary Spirit Master's second Spirit Ring. Moreover, it is a Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring, so its energy is naturally tyrannical."

Oscar anxiously asked, "Then what do we do?"

Lin Hao said, "Now, we can only rely on Tang San himself. Everyone should know that it is best not to receive any outside assistance while absorbing a Spirit Ring. Otherwise, it can easily produce the opposite effect. Don't worry. With Tang San's physical strength, he can absorb this Man Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Ring!"

Although he said that, even Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming frowned slightly.

Especially Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji knew that Tang San's father was Tang Hao. If anything happened to Tang San, Tang Hao would certainly hold Zhao Wuji accountable.

But Lin Hao was right.

Tang San had already begun absorbing the Spirit Ring, so outsiders had best not interfere.

Seeing the worry in Zhao Wuji's heart, Lin Hao reassured him, "The harder a Spirit Ring is to absorb, the greater the benefits it brings. The more energy a Spirit Ring contains, the more powerful the Soul Skill it produces will naturally be. Besides, I have a very strong feeling that Tang San will obtain an External Soul Bone!"

Ma Hongjun, always blunt, snapped, "Keep bragging. You can tell whether an External Soul Bone will appear just by observing a Soul Beast? You don't look much older than me. Are you even more of a Grandmaster than the Grandmaster?"

Lin Hao glanced at Ma Hongjun, too lazy to bother with the fat man.

However, Zhao Wuji remained silent.

Man Faced Demon Spiders were extremely rare. Even if the Grandmaster were here, it would be difficult to determine this one's true cultivation range.

Take Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang, for instance. They had wanted to help Meng Yiran hunt this Soul Beast as her third Spirit Ring, which clearly meant they had failed to determine the Man Faced Demon Spider's true cultivation range as well.

Yet Lin Hao had seen through its exact age at a glance. Zhao Wuji could not rule out the possibility that Lin Hao possessed extraordinary abilities.

Qin Ming also said in astonishment, "Lin Hao, I never expected you to know so much about Soul Beasts."

Lin Hao said, "I read a few books in my spare time. Hundred-year Soul Beasts change according to their hundred-year cultivation, while ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts change according to their ten-thousand-year cultivation. As long as you find the factors that change across their cultivation ranges, you can accurately determine their precise cultivation range!"

As everyone waited, a light footstep suddenly caught the attention of Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, and Lin Hao.

"Who's there?"

"Come out!"

Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming turned icy gazes toward the same direction. Their Soul Power surged at once. Tang San was at a critical juncture, and they could not allow anything to disturb him.

"Huh, Lin Hao!" A slender figure ran out from the woods.

Seeing who it was, Zhao Wuji and the Shrek Five Monsters were stunned.

The person who had suddenly run out of the woods was actually Xiao Wu.

"Holy crap, that's uncanny." Ma Hongjun cried out on the spot, unable to help admiring him. "He really got it right. Xiao Wu came back safe and sound!"

"Xiao Wu, you're not dead?" Only after saying it did Oscar realize how awful it sounded.

Xiao Wu retorted irritably, "Do you really want me to die? Lin Hao, why are you with Teacher Zhao and the others? And where have you been all this time?"

"I went out to train," Lin Hao said casually.

Boundary Space could now carry some low-grade items between the two worlds. Whether it would be able to let people pass through in the future was still unknown.

As for everything related to the Misty Cloud Sect, Lin Hao felt it was better to keep it secret for now.

Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks angrily. "Do you know how irresponsible that was? It makes the people who care about you worry, you know?"

Who was she talking about?

She was probably referring to herself.

Lin Hao smiled. "And you, showing no respect at all. You see me and don't even call me Big Brother anymore?"

Xiao Wu argued, "I only call you Lin Hao in front of others. You allowed it. Huh, heavens, what happened to Little San?"

Only then did Xiao Wu notice Tang San, who was absorbing the Spirit Ring.

It seemed that, in Xiao Wu's heart, Lin Hao carried more weight than Tang San.

And Lin Hao had hurried Meng Shu away earlier not only because Tang San was about to obtain an External Soul Bone, but also because Xiao Wu, whose true identity was a Soul Beast, was about to return.

If Meng Shu learned that Tang San possessed an External Soul Bone and that Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, Lin Hao dared say that even if Zhao Wuji told Meng Shu that Tang San's father was Tang Hao, Meng Shu would still kill Tang San and Xiao Wu. He would seize the External Soul Bone and Xiao Wu's Spirit Bone without the slightest hesitation.
