Taking Xiao Wu to Eat Spicy Rabbit Heads! Soul-Eating Ant Emperor External Soul Bone!

In the end, Tang Chuan still caught the rabbits and roasted them.

Xiao Wu did not stop him.

She merely accepted the fragrant roasted rabbit leg from Tang Chuan with a melancholy expression.

Looking at the fresh, sweet, spicy chili powder still clinging to the meat—

Xiao Wu could not help swallowing, and tears uncontrollably flowed from the corners of her mouth.

No, no, no!!!

They're my kin. How could I think they look delicious? I can't be like this.

I've decided. I'll only take one bite later, then immediately spit it out and say it tastes awful.

That way, Brother Tang Chuan will be deeply discouraged and definitely never catch rabbits to cook again.

Xiao Wu kept shaking her head. Then her gaze became incomparably resolute as she took a big bite out of the rabbit leg.

"Chomp chomp... hsss ha... so delicious, sob sob sob... hsss ha..."

When Xiao Wu finally came back to her senses and looked at the bone left in her hand—

She fell into deep thought!

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"Brother Chuan, Xiao Wu, Sister Lan Yin, what are you doing?"

Ning Rongrong had just opened her eyes after successfully absorbing her first soul ring.

She immediately trotted toward the grill, drawn by the smell.

Her eyes practically turned into little stars.

"I'm burying my kin in my stomach."

With a gloomy expression, Xiao Wu began devouring her third spicy rabbit head, then curiously looked at Ning Rongrong and asked,

"By the way, Rongrong, what is the effect of your first soul skill?"

At the mention of this—

Ning Rongrong's expression immediately turned smug.

"Hehe, my first soul skill is Strength Amplification. It can increase the target's strength by 20%."

Xiao Wu froze for a moment, clearly surprised.

"20%?"

"That much?"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong looked even prouder.

"Of course. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda inherited by our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the strongest top-tier support-type tool martial soul on Douluo Continent."

Tang Chuan nodded at the side, neither affirming nor denying it.

One had to know that on Douluo Continent—

Ordinary support-type soul masters generally only received an increase of around 5% from their first soul ring.

Only relatively outstanding martial souls could reach a 10% increase.

And it could not be improved afterward.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, on the other hand—

Already provided 20% after absorbing the first soul ring.

And with every additional soul ring—

Not only could it grant one more amplification effect, but the amplification itself would also increase by an additional 10%.

Most importantly, after Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul masters cultivated the Distraction Control Method—

They could also support several soul masters at once.

It truly stood at the pinnacle of support.

Of course, although this martial soul was very powerful—

It was not without flaws.

Every Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul master was affected by their martial soul and could only remain at Rank 79, the Soul Sage realm, for life. They could not break through to become a Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo.

But coincidentally—

Tang Chuan not only knew how to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—

He even had a way to obtain the immortal-grade herbs required for its evolution.

If Ning Rongrong was willing to become one of his people in the future—

Tang Chuan would find a way to help her obtain them even if she did not ask.

But if Ning Rongrong chose to go against him—

Then even if the immortal herbs rotted in his hands, he would never give them to anyone else.

"Found it. That one is our target for this trip: a Soul-Eating Ant with more than 900 years of cultivation."

Lan Yin led the three of them to a cliff.

Looking down from this position—

They could see both the precious herb and the Soul-Eating Ant.

The three poked their heads over the edge.

They quickly spotted a soul beast about the size of a palm. Its jet-black body was entwined with jagged golden stripes that glittered beneath the blazing daytime sun.

"Is that the first soul ring Brother Tang Chuan chose?"

"Over 900 years? Brother Chuan, you're not joking, are you?"

Xiao Wu was curious, while Ning Rongrong was shocked.

They were both clearly surprised that Tang Chuan had chosen a soul beast with such a high cultivation age.

"Since I chose it, naturally I'm confident. But..."

Tang Chuan stared at the Soul-Eating Ant standing guard ten meters away from the herb. Information about it quickly appeared in his mind.

"This is also a Soul-Eating Ant Emperor, with 981 years of cultivation. It's a mutated soul beast with ultimate darkness and spiritual attributes."

"During battle, it deploys a special Soul-Devouring Domain that can absorb the soul power and life force of all living creatures within the domain to replenish itself."

"It has a chance to inflict a random negative status on enemy targets."

"Its combat power is almost no weaker than that of a thousand-year soul beast. In the future, it even has the potential to grow into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Its strength is extremely formidable."

"And most importantly..."

Tang Chuan looked at the final two pieces of information in the data.

Even his breathing began to quicken.

Not far away, Lan Yin sat gracefully on a nearby dead tree stump covered with a padded cloth. She wore a moon-white flowing dress with dark patterns, its skirt cascading down along the grain of the stump like layers of clouds and mist, spreading across the fallen leaves.

Even in this uninhabited wilderness—

She still exuded a cool, noble aura untouched by dust.

"It seems to be good news."

Seeing Tang Chuan so excited for once, Lan Yin's lips curved into a gentle smile.

"Yes. This Soul-Eating Ant Emperor can drop a Soul-Eating Ant Emperor Left Palm Bone."

"It's an external soul bone, and its skill effect is extremely powerful."

"Not only that, as long as I take advantage of the moment when this Soul-Eating Ant absorbs the herb, kill it within the allotted time, and absorb its soul ring—"

"I can catch the exact limit when the herb's energy merges into the soul ring."

"I'll only need to withstand the absorption intensity of a hundred-year soul ring."

"Yet I'll obtain the power of a thousand-year soul skill."

"But the timing is extremely tight—only around twenty-two seconds."

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were left completely baffled by what they heard.

Lan Yin, however, did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Then prepare yourselves. From what I've observed, that herb should mature within the next day or two."

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were both stunned, having no idea what cryptic exchange the two were having.

"Brother Chuan, what are you talking about? What soul bone? What power of a thousand-year soul skill?"

"Brother Tang Chuan, why can't I understand any of this?"

Tang Chuan was in an excellent mood and casually waved his hand.

"You only need to know that it's a good thing. Don't worry too much about it."

"Perfect. Since we'll be staying here for a day or two anyway, why not cultivate?"

The curious expressions on Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's faces immediately fell.

"No way. Cultivation is boring to death."

The two girls were still young, right at the age when they loved to play.

How could they be willing to waste their time sitting still and cultivating without moving?

"That's because you don't understand the right cultivation methods."

"But I do."

"Come into the woods with me. I'll show you a big treasure."

"As long as I can make you stay inside for ten minutes without leaving, I win, and tonight you have to scrub my back."

"If I lose, I'll scrub both your backs instead. Deal?"

Tang Chuan walked into the woods with a smile.

"Something about this feels wrong." Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong exchanged glances, their eyes full of doubt.

But out of their trust in Tang Chuan, they still followed him.

Not long afterward—

"Oh my god, Brother Chuan, what is this? So much... so full..." Ning Rongrong let out a startled cry from the forest.

"Wow, this feels amazing! Brother Tang Chuan, I want more..." Xiao Wu cried excitedly.

Lan Yin could not help turning around.

They... were cultivating properly, right?
