Lu Xiao's First Soul Skill! Tang San Absorbs a False-Century Soul Ring!

At the center of the battlefield!

The Nether Wolf King stared at Lu Xiao, killing intent surging in its dark purple eyes as black Soul Power crazily swelled around its body!

The next second, it opened its jaws wide, and a black Nether Wind Blade howled forth, slashing straight at Lu Xiao's face!

Lu Xiao showed no fear. Bronze Treasure Light burst from around him as a Thousand-Year Soul Ring circled his body, pulsing slowly.

The purple Soul Ring lit up.

The next instant, the sounds of wind and thunder suddenly exploded through the cave!

Rumble! Crack!

Thunder roared, and fierce winds howled!

The gray Wind of Annihilation surged from every limb and bone in his body, its tiny wind blades fine as threads as they layered around him.

The Wind of Annihilation churned and tore, shredding the incoming black Nether Wind Blades layer by layer until they dissolved into nothingness.

Immediately afterward, black-purple Destruction Thunder exploded with a deafening boom!

Crackling arcs of lightning carried a tyrannical, violent aura of destruction, crawling densely over Lu Xiao's arms and body. The blazing lightning instantly illuminated the dark, oppressive cave.

The Nether Wolf King's pupils contracted sharply as a fatal sense of danger surged within it.

"Awoo—"

The Nether Wolf King threw back its head and let out a shrill howl, unleashing all of its black Soul Power!

In an instant, its massive body swept forward with a skyful of shadows, pouncing with the force to split mountains and shatter rocks. Its pale fangs gleamed with deadly cold as it tried to crush Lu Xiao with its strongest attack.

"Annihilation Wind Thunder, slash!"

Lu Xiao's eyes were icy cold as his body, wrapped in wind and lightning, shot forward.

With the help of Golden Perception, he quickly locked onto the Nether Wolf King's position.

The next second, his fists wrapped in Destruction Thunder slammed out as the Wind of Annihilation swept forth in every direction!

Rumble—

Crack!

The massive explosion of wind and thunder echoed through the cave!

The Destruction Thunder struck the Wolf King's black body first, detonating directly with its power of destruction.

"Awooo—!!"

The Nether Wolf King let out an agonized howl. The flesh at its waist had been blasted black, while the power of destruction continuously ravaged its body!

Before the Nether Wolf King could react, the howling Wind of Annihilation around it abruptly tightened.

The strange wind force was like invisible shackles, locking tightly around the Wolf King's limbs and torso as it continuously dissolved its protective Soul Power.

It struggled desperately, its black claws tearing wildly, yet it could not tear apart the Annihilation Wind Gale wrapped around its body.

The destructive lightning force continued to surge through it, relentlessly destroying its organs and meridians.

Lu Xiao's gaze was incomparably sharp. Seizing that fleeting fatal opening, he charged forward again, gathering all the wind and lightning around him into his right fist.

Gray and black-purple light merged, condensing into an incomparably solid Wind Thunder Battle Blade!

Without any flashy moves, Lu Xiao unleashed a concentrated strike and smashed it down viciously upon the Wolf King's head!

"Bang!"

A dull impact rang out. The Millennium Nether Wolf King's head drooped, its life extinguished, and its huge body crashed to the ground, kicking up dust across the cave floor.

The cave instantly fell silent.

The Nether Wolves that had been charging madly froze in place, their limbs trembling as the ferocity vanished from their eyes. They no longer had any will to fight!

Xiao Wu seized the opportunity. Her speed suddenly increased as her Soul Power erupted in full force, subduing and defeating the remaining Nether Wolves one by one as they fled in panic.

A moment later, the last Nether Wolf collapsed to the ground.

Not a single wolf in this den survived!

Lu Xiao slowly landed, withdrawing his Soul Power as the dragon scales faded away.

After such a fierce battle, his breathing had only risen slightly, yet his gaze had become even steadier and sharper.

He turned to look at Xiao Wu, whose body was lightly covered in sweat but whose eyes remained lively and bright, then chuckled. "All done."

Xiao Wu wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. Her eyes curved into crescents as she revealed a sweet smile and nodded heavily. "Mm, we won!"

The two carefully inspected the corpses of more than a dozen Nether Wolves, but no Soul Bones had formed.

Lu Xiao felt a little regretful. He stored the Millennium Wolf King's corpse in his Soul Tool; wolf bones could strengthen the body and were extremely useful.

After a brief rest, the two climbed upward along the rugged rocky passage.

Half an hour later, faint light shone from the end of the passage.

Their spirits lifted, and they quickly climbed out of the cave entrance.

Before either of them could stretch, a strange, rich scent mixed with medicinal fragrance and a sweet fishy smell suddenly entered their noses.

Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly as he followed the scent with his gaze.

On the bluestone clearing at the center of the open area, Du Busi stood guard beside a large pot over a blazing fire.

Inside, clear medicinal broth boiled furiously. Bubbles continuously burst with soft gurgles as curling white steam rose, carrying a rich fragrance.

The soup was a translucent jade-green, with several rare dark-red herbs floating at the bottom.

At the center of the pot, a Datura Snake, emerald green all over with lustrous scales, lay quietly coiled in the soup.

Its Snake Body was intact and brightly colored, without the slightest trace of bruising or filth. It had clearly just been cleaned.

Its flesh was firm and plump, gently rolling in the boiling medicinal broth as strands of medicinal power and the essence of the snake meat continuously blended into the soup, making the fragrance ever richer.

Lu Xiao led Xiao Wu briskly to Du Busi's side and plopped down.

The two were starving, their eyes fixed tightly on the snake stew in the pot.

Du Busi looked at Lu Xiao and said slowly, "Since you're out, hand over that Millennium Wolf King's corpse to me!"

Lu Xiao curled his lips and retorted, "Why should I? I killed it myself!"

"Because I'm your master! Because my fists are bigger and harder than yours!"

Du Busi emphasized his status in the first half, while the second half was naked "coercion"!

"Fine, fine, you can have it all, okay!"

Lu Xiao's mouth twitched. With a wave of his right hand, he directly tossed the Nether Wolf King's corpse out of his Soul Tool.

He stared at the Datura Snake in the pot and asked curiously, "Master, where did you catch this snake?"

Du Busi put away the Wolf King's corpse and bragged, "You've got a lucky mouth, kid. This is a Datura Snake over four hundred years old! Perfect for nourishing yourself!"

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Soul Hunting Forest.

After wandering in circles, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San still arrived beside that "century-old" Lone Bamboo.

"Little San, it's getting late! Soul Hunting Forest becomes even more dangerous at night!"

Putting on an act of considering Tang San's needs, Yu Xiaogang declared, "This Lone Bamboo is quite old. Make it the first Soul Ring for your Blue Silver Grass!"

"Yes!"

Tang San answered and stepped forward, slowly walking up to the Lone Bamboo. He touched Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist with his right hand, and a slender dagger fell into his palm.

That pitiful mutated Lone Bamboo had not even reached a hundred years before Tang San uprooted and killed it!

Buzz—

Countless motes of light rapidly gathered, slowly condensing into a Soul Ring above the Lone Bamboo.

Unlike an ordinary century-old Soul Ring's pure yellow, this Soul Ring was primarily pale yellow.

Deep within the Soul Ring's patterns, a thin, gleaming white trace of light quietly intertwined.

However, Yu Xiaogang was already exhausted and failed to notice this slight difference.

And Tang San's heart was filled with excitement over the Mysterious Heaven Skill's imminent breakthrough. How could he notice anything unusual about the Soul Ring!

"Little San, begin."

Tang San nodded and raised his right hand.

He slowly gathered his Soul Power into his palm. Accompanied by a pale blue glow, Blue Silver Grass grew from his palm.

Come, my first Soul Ring. You will decide whether I can inherit my teacher's hopes.

You will also decide whether I can carry forward the Tang Sect across Douluo Continent!

Drawn by the pale blue light, the Lone Bamboo's False-Century Soul Ring slowly flew toward Tang San...

Ordinary Soul Masters would use Soul Power to examine a soul beast's age, but Yu Xiaogang's own Soul Power was weak, and he firmly believed in his own theories, so he naturally discarded this method!

As for Tang Hao, he was currently in a cave near Holy Soul Village, staring at a Blue-Gold Right Leg Soul Bone, not knowing what he was thinking...
