Douluo Talents Ranking, Second Place: Tang San (Part 1)!

The Golden Ranking revealed two matters in its introduction of Bibi Dong.

One was that she had murdered her teacher, Qian Xunji.

The other was that she had Devoured Qian Xunji completely.

The former was immoral in the eyes of ordinary people.

The latter made her a fallen Soul Master in the eyes of ordinary people!

With this, Spirit Hall could not allow her to remain its Pope. Let alone continue serving as the Pope of Spirit Hall, she might even be hunted down on Spirit Hall's orders!

"Yue Guan, Ghostly, are you two still willing to follow me? If not, leave now."

Holding her scepter, Bibi Dong continued gazing at the golden light screen in the sky as she lightly parted her lips and questioned Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Ghostly, who stood behind her.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words and facing her question, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Ghostly did not answer immediately. They first exchanged glances in tacit understanding, then respectfully spoke in unison.

"We are willing to follow Your Holiness the Pope!"

When they answered Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Ghostly still addressed her as Your Holiness the Pope.

After receiving their answer, Bibi Dong's lips curved into a subtle arc as she smiled in satisfaction.

When Bibi Dong smiled, anticipation appeared on her face.

What Bibi Dong anticipated was self-evident.

Naturally, she anticipated the great opportunity bestowed by the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking.

Zhu Zhuqing had obtained the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline.

Feng Xiaotian had obtained the ten-thousand-year External Soul Bone, Wind-Thunder Wings.

Shui Bing'er had gained a new martial soul and now possessed two martial souls.

She wondered what Bibi Dong herself would obtain from the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking.

Very soon, the Golden Ranking began introducing Tang San, who was tied with Bibi Dong for second place on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking.

[Tang San, male, a native of the Heaven Dou Empire on Douluo Continent, currently a student of Shrek Academy.]

[Tang San was ranked second on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking alongside Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall. There was no need to think about it—his talent for Soul Master cultivation was surely on par with Bibi Dong's.]

[Bibi Dong possessed Twin Martial Souls?]

[Tang San also possessed Twin Martial Souls!]

[Bibi Dong's two martial souls were both beast martial souls.]

[Tang San's two martial souls were both tool martial souls.]

[One tool martial soul?]

[It was the plant-type tool martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, which possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline. This martial soul came from Tang San's mother, A Yin, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Blue Silver Emperor who had taken human form.]

[The other tool martial soul?]

[It was the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the strongest attack-type tool martial soul on Douluo Continent! This martial soul came from Tang San's father, Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo whose soul power was level ninety-five.]

[All in all, Tang San's two great martial souls were just as extraordinary as Bibi Dong's two great martial souls.]

[With these two extraordinary and powerful martial souls, Tang San had also attained innate soul power at level ten.]

[Empowered by his two great martial souls and innate level-ten soul power, Tang San had become a Soul Elder with three spirit rings at just twelve years old.]

[In terms of soul power level, Tang San was far ahead of his peers. As for spirit ring configuration, he was equally terrifyingly powerful.]

[Tang San's third spirit ring came from a Man-Faced Demon Spider that was over two thousand years old.]

[Tang San's fourth spirit ring came from a Man-Faced Demon Spider that was over ten thousand years old.]

[Yes, the ages of Tang San's two spirit rings had both surpassed the limits commonly recognized in the Soul Master world.]

[How had he done it?]

[The answer to that question was simple.]

[His physical body had to be strong enough, and his mental soul had to be sufficiently powerful.]

[There was no such thing as a maximum age limit when Soul Masters absorbed spirit rings. Anyone who claimed there was an age limit for absorbing spirit rings was, without exception, an ignorant fool.]

Yu Xiaogang: "???!!!"

[At the age of twelve, Tang San not only obtained the first 1,000-Year Spirit Ring of his life—his third spirit ring—but also acquired a soul bone!]

[The spirit ring and soul bone he obtained?]

[Both came from the same soul beast!]

[It was a Man-Faced Demon Spider.]

[The soul bone produced by that Man-Faced Demon Spider was an External Soul Bone, the rarest type among all soul bones!]

[Not long after obtaining his third spirit ring and officially becoming a Soul Elder, Tang San left with his teachers and classmates.]

[Where did they go?]

[They went to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy outside Heaven Dou City.]

[They had only one purpose in going to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy: to join it and become members of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, thereby obtaining a better cultivation environment and more cultivation resources.]

[But unfortunately, due to interference from Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, they not only failed to join Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, but Tang San was also kidnapped and taken away by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.]

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Palace.

Within the magnificent palace, Xue Ye Emperor sat upon his imperial throne, leisurely drinking wine as he listened to the majestic, wrathful voice coming from the golden light screen in the sky.

Do not ask why Xue Ye Emperor was drinking. He was happy, so he had a drink.

As for why he was happy?

The fundamental reason was simple.

Because on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking so far, eight out of ten geniuses were from his Heaven Dou Empire. Only Zhu Zhuqing in tenth place and Dai Mubai in seventh place were from the Star Luo Empire. Even so, both lived within Heaven Dou territory, greatly enhancing the reputation of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Xue Ye Emperor eagerly anticipated who would take first place on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking.

It would be wonderful if that person was also from the Heaven Dou Empire.

Then all the talents of Douluo would come from Heaven Dou!

Just as Xue Ye Emperor was drinking happily, news concerning Xue Beng reached his ears.

After hearing it, Xue Ye Emperor froze on the spot.

His eyes widened, and astonishment filled his face.

What was this?

What had Xue Beng driven away?

He had driven away the teachers and students of Shrek Academy, who had intended to join Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

After repeatedly confirming that he had not heard wrong, Xue Ye Emperor came back to his senses and immediately found that the fine wine in his cup no longer tasted good.

His gaze sharpened and his brows furrowed as Xue Ye Emperor, seated on the imperial throne, shouted in a deep voice.

"Guards! Seize Xue Beng and bring him here! Now! Immediately! At once! Bring him to me!"

As he spoke, Xue Ye Emperor's face was full of fury. He clenched his teeth and fists, regretting why he had indulged himself in a moment of pleasure and fathered such a rebellious, useless son as Xue Beng.

Those were the teachers and students of Shrek Academy!

They held a full seven spots on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking!

And Xue Beng had actually driven them away?

Eight words surfaced in Xue Ye Emperor's mind.

Death could be spared.

But punishment could not!

If he did not properly teach Xue Beng, that rebellious son who was usually so outrageously profligate, a lesson today, then from now on, he, Xue Ye, would no longer bear the surname Xue!

The Golden Ranking continued introducing Tang San.

[Tang San had thought being taken away by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was a bad thing, but unexpectedly, it was a good thing! And an exceedingly good thing at that!]
