[Xiao Wu quickly grasped the effects of the Soul-Devouring Domain.]

[She immediately understood that the longer this dragged on,]

[the more disadvantageous it would be for her.]

[She could only grit her teeth and charge at Tang Chuan.]

[Her first soul skill, Waist Bow, combined with her own explosive burst of speed,]

[brought her before Tang Chuan in an instant as she swung out a whip kick.]

[Yet this all-out strike, which could easily defeat a hundred-year soul beast,]

[was swiftly blocked by Blue Silver Grass that sprouted from the ground.]

[Xiao Wu was stunned.]

[She discovered that the Blue Silver Grass was absurdly resilient, effortlessly neutralizing the terrifying force of her kick.]

[Unwilling to accept it, she tried several more times.]

[But it was all useless. Under the effects of the Soul-Devouring Domain, her stamina was instead being drained at an accelerated rate.]

[In the end, she lay on the ground, drenched in fragrant sweat and gasping for breath, unable to move.]

["Already done? I haven't even used my soul skills or soul bone skills yet."]

[Tang Chuan smiled teasingly.]

["What? You haven't used your soul skills yet?"]

["Then what was that nearly flawless defense from all that Blue Silver Grass just now?"]

[Xiao Wu cried out, her expression freezing.]

[So she had fought herself half to death for all that time without even forcing out one of his soul skills.]

["Probably the Blue Silver Grass's automatic master-protection trait."]

[Lan Yin returned at that moment, carrying Ning Rongrong in her arms.]

[Seeing Ning Rongrong sleeping so soundly, Xiao Wu irritably reached out and lightly tickled her soft waist.]

[Ning Rongrong woke up with a dazed expression, then hurriedly resisted once she came to her senses.]

["So, Xiaochuan, what are your soul ring and soul bone skills?"]

[Lan Yin asked curiously. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong stopped fooling around and both looked over.]

["My first soul skill, Soul Devouring, is a support-type soul skill."]

["It grants a fifty percent increase to all attributes, but this skill consumes an enormous amount of soul power and stamina."]

["With my current condition, I can only maintain it for one minute at most."]

[As Tang Chuan finished speaking,]

[Ning Rongrong's heart abruptly skipped a beat.]

["Fifty percent to all attributes? That much?"]

[She did a quick calculation.]

[For her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to reach that level of enhancement, she would need at least the cultivation of a four-ring Soul Ancestor.]

[Compared to that, the drawback of lasting only one minute was practically nothing.]

"Damn, isn't this Boss Dai's White Tiger Vajra Transformation?"

The moment Ma Hongjun heard the skill's effects, they sounded exceptionally familiar to him.

He remembered it very clearly.

Back when Dai Mubai fought in the spirit fighting arena, after using White Tiger Vajra Transformation,

even with only the cultivation of a newly advanced Soul Elder, he could fight evenly against some long-established high-level Soul Elders.

"No. Compared to that, this Tang Chuan's soul skill is probably even better."

"An all-attribute enhancement is far beyond something that Mubai's third soul skill, which merely doubles strength, defense, and speed, can compare to."

Flender was, after all, a veteran Soul Sage.

Naturally, he knew perfectly well just how terrifying an all-attribute enhancement was.

And when naturally competitive Dai Mubai heard the dean say that,

he naturally curled his lips in dissatisfaction, feeling extremely annoyed.

A Blue Silver Grass soul master.

So what if he obtained an all-attribute enhancement early on?

Did he really intend to act as an assault-type soul master and engage in close combat?

Ridiculous.

["Then what about your external soul bone, Brother Tang Chuan?" Xiao Wu continued asking.]

[Tang Chuan rubbed his chin, his expression somewhat strange.]

["My soul bone skill is called Soul Severing."]

["But this soul skill is somewhat special."]

["It automatically produces one soul pearl every day. After using it, the effects of any soul skill can be doubled."]

[Xiao Wu could not help widening her eyes.]

["Double the effects? Doesn't that mean both your first soul skill and your domain skill can receive double the effect, Brother Tang Chuan?"]

["Isn't that incredible?!!"]

["Wait, what does producing one every day mean? You can only use it once per day?"]

["I'm afraid it's not that simple." Lan Yin crossed one arm over her chest while the fingers of her other hand absentmindedly toyed with a strand of silky hair, slowly winding it around her fingertips.]

["External soul bones all possess growth potential and unique properties."]

["There should be other ways to obtain soul pearls too, right?"]

[Tang Chuan grinned and gave Lan Yin a thumbs-up.]

["As expected of my little sister. You're so smart."]

["The soul bone skill Soul Severing originated from the Force Ant Clan's warlike nature."]

["For every enemy unit it kills, it gains one soul pearl. At the same time, it can absorb the target's life essence, soul power, and spiritual power, permanently raising the user's limits."]

["If the enemy unit possesses attributes associated with evil soul masters, such as 'death,' 'evil,' 'darkness,' or 'destruction,'"]

["the number of soul pearls can even reach three to ten, while the increase to one's limits will also be greatly amplified."]

Hiss!

The powerful figures of White World could not help drawing sharp breaths.

Was the gap between soul skills dropped by ultimate-attribute soul beasts and those dropped by ordinary soul beasts really this vast?

"His first soul ring really is a thousand-year one. This is absurd."

"I remember Tang Chuan already possessed combat strength no weaker than that of a soul master before awakening his martial soul. Now, with a soul skill that enhances all attributes, even ordinary Soul Elders probably wouldn't get much of an advantage against him, right?"

"Kill one soul beast and gain three soul skills? Why? Even a child of fortune can't cheat like this, can he?"

"How are soul masters like us, who only barely reached the Soul Elder realm at thirty, supposed to live?"

"Good thing Tang Chuan isn't in White World. Otherwise, wouldn't the geniuses of our generation be crushed so thoroughly they couldn't even complain?"

"Guys, I think I know why Tang Chuan of Black World will become the Death God Douluo in the future."

Elsewhere,

Chrysanthemum Douluo stared at Tang Chuan, his eyes red with envy.

"This brat's soul skills are ridiculously useful."

Some of the weaker powerful figures around him were stunned. They had not expected a few thousand-year soul skills to earn such unreserved praise even from a Titled Douluo.

Were they really that useful?

The Soul-Devouring Domain had a short range and could hardly restrain flying soul masters.

Soul Devouring had a short duration and immense consumption.

As for Soul Severing, it was a very typical late-game soul skill. In the early stages, it could at most serve as an effect amplifier.

These soul skills had such major limitations, so why did he find them useful?

They instinctively asked,

"Elder Ju, why do you say that?"

"Even if a Blue Silver Grass soul master's physical qualities and soul skill enhancements are impressive, isn't this praise a little... excessive?"

Ghost Douluo glanced at them.

"Have you forgotten? He has twin martial souls."

"Tang San needs to hide his twin martial souls because he has no backing and insufficient strength. He can only fight with Blue Silver Grass."

"But if Black Tang Chuan joins Spirit Hall,"

"he will have no such concerns at all."

"He could even use the enhanced state provided by Blue Silver Grass to wield the Clear Sky Hammer."

"That would make up for his weak offensive power."

Upon hearing that, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

At the same time, they all imagined it.

In the future, Tang Chuan would possess the strength of a Titled Douluo, then use Soul Devouring's all-attribute enhancement before unleashing the Clear Sky Avatar and Great Sumeru Hammer.

The power of that terrifying attack

would probably be several times more horrifying than the move Tang Hao had used today.

After all, an all-attribute enhancement was no joke.

The people of Spirit Hall were discussing the matter animatedly.

They had completely failed to notice that the Supreme Pontiff in the luxurious long gown at the very front of the crowd

was staring fixedly at Tang Chuan with eyes filled with fanaticism, obsession, and a near-crazed yearning.

Her breathing gradually became hurried.

The voluptuous curves beneath her long gown rose and fell continuously.

If previously,

she had held virtually no interest in Tang Chuan,

and had even harbored deep hostility toward him because he was Tang San's counterpart and Black World's Spirit Hall Holy Son,

then the moment the Soul-Eating Ant Emperor's three overpowered soul skills appeared,

she could no longer suppress the stirrings in her heart.

Her mind held only a single thought.

His soul skills were simply too compatible with her Devouring Soul Spider Emperor.

They were a match made in heaven.

"If I could take this person as my disciple..."
