Tang San: I'm a Useless Soul Master

Bai Ye's face was glowing red, naturally because he had successfully obtained the External Soul Bone, Eight Spider Lances, and his physical body had improved, which in turn had enhanced his spiritual power as well.

At the same time, the amplification effect of his first soul skill, Honor Blessing, had also improved slightly, rising from a 200 percent increase to a 201 percent increase in all attributes.

Moreover, the Eight Spider Lances still possessed their devouring and poison-releasing traits. He could completely use them to devour Man Faced Demon Spiders, thereby increasing his Soul Power and making them evolve sooner, which would in turn nourish his physical body.

In this way, his cultivation speed would increase considerably, and the day he obtained his fifth Soul Ring could be moved up on the schedule.

Tang San, meanwhile, had obtained his third Soul Ring by killing a Man Faced Demon Spider that had just passed the thousand-year level.

But he had not obtained a soul bone.

What puzzled Bai Ye somewhat was that Tang San possessed the storage Soul Tool Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night, which contained clean clothes. He should not have been so disheveled.

In fact, Tang San had originally wanted to change into clean clothes, but he felt that he should not. If he returned in this state, Xiao Wu would be concerned about him.

But he had clearly overthought things.

He and Bai Ye had returned almost simultaneously, yet his beloved Sister Xiaowu had not shown the slightest concern. She had not even cast a glance in his direction.

I'm afraid Bai Ye will misunderstand.

Thinking of what Xiao Wu had said to him earlier and watching her fuss over Bai Ye, Tang San's mood was extremely terrible.

No! Tang San shouted inwardly.

"Little San."

A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Tang San.

Tang San looked toward the speaker, only to discover that the person who had called him Little San was Dai Mubai. His expression immediately darkened.

He hated it most when anyone besides Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang, and Xiao Wu called him Little San.

It went without saying that Dai Mubai immediately incurred Tang San's hostility.

"You're the Little San!" Tang San chose to vent the anger he had been suppressing on Dai Mubai.

Everyone looked over upon hearing this.

Dai Mubai's expression turned ugly. He had originally wanted to comfort Tang San, since they were both in the same boat. Who could have expected Tang San to treat him like this?

Besides, hadn't he called him Little San to seem more familiar?

And when Xiao Wu called you Little San, why didn't you say anything?

"Was it wrong for me to call you Little San? I'm older than you. What's wrong with calling you Little San? As expected, filthy people hear filth in everything." Dai Mubai spoke coldly, then turned and left.

Tang San naturally would not admit that he was wrong, and he did not think he had done anything wrong either. Especially after noticing Xiao Wu's gaze, he became even more fired up.

"Dai Mubai, I challenge you!" Tang San said seriously. He intended to make Dai Mubai experience the anger he had suffered at Bai Ye's hands and the losses he had endured because of Bai Ye.

"Little San, what are you doing?" Xiao Wu came over and hurriedly tried to stop him. After all, Tang San was her younger brother, though they shared neither father nor mother.

"You want to challenge me?" Dai Mubai turned around and stared fixedly at Tang San.

"Enough! Go back and fight!" Zhao Wuji spoke up, intending to stop this farce. After all, this was Star Dou Forest.

Although the Forest Emperor and King of the Forest were Xiao Wu's friends, and two Titled Douluo were secretly present, their own people still could not start fighting here.

At the same time, Zhao Wuji was quite dissatisfied with Tang San. So what if he was the son of the Clear Sky Douluo?

"Fight. Let them fight."

But just then, Bai Ye's voice rang out.

Everyone looked over, somewhat puzzled.

"Since they're both upset, let them have a match. Teacher Zhao, don't you think solving problems with fists is a very good approach?"

"As the saying goes, a Soul Master who doesn't cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master."

Seeing Bai Ye speak, Zhao Wuji instantly changed his position. Ma Hongjun and Oscar also shouted.

"Fight!"

Thus, everyone cleared out some space for Tang San and Dai Mubai to battle.

"Tang San, Blue Silver Grass martial soul, thirty-first-rank control-type Battle Soul Elder."

"Dai Mubai, Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial soul, thirty-seventh-rank assault-type Battle Soul Elder."

The two released their martial souls with serious expressions. They were both fighting in earnest.

Tang San wanted to show off in front of Xiao Wu, while Dai Mubai wanted to show off in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

However, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were standing on either side of Bai Ye, making both men's expressions turn ugly without them realizing it.

"I was wondering why you wanted to challenge me. So you obtained your third Soul Ring? But do you really think that's enough to defeat me?" Dai Mubai adjusted his mood and looked at Tang San with disdain.

He did not take Tang San seriously at all.

It was only the Blue Silver Grass martial soul. He possessed the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, and his Soul Power was also higher than Tang San's.

"Is that so? I hunted this thousand-year third Soul Ring myself." Tang San gave a half-smile. Facing a peak-condition two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider, it would have been difficult for him to kill it, but one that had only just passed the thousand-year mark was much easier.

Although he had paid a certain price.

"What?" Dai Mubai's expression instantly became solemn, and he put away his contempt.

His third Soul Ring had been obtained with someone else's help, whereas Tang San had obtained his himself.

In other words, if everyone were only second-ring Second-Ring Soul Grandmasters at rank thirty, he could not possibly be Tang San's opponent.

"He hunted it himself?" Zhao Wuji was also very surprised. He had to admit that Tang San was indeed a genius.

Thinking of this, he could not help glancing at Bai Ye, whose expression remained calm.

"Compared with the Holy Son, it's insignificant." Zhao Wuji made that judgment inwardly before continuing to watch Tang San and Dai Mubai, who had already begun fighting.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were also watching the battle with great interest.

"Come on, Boss Dai! Show Little San your strength!" Ma Hongjun shouted excitedly, but the next moment, Tang San's icy gaze locked onto him.

It was as if he were saying: I may not be able to beat Bai Ye, but can't I beat a fatty like you?

Ma Hongjun felt a chill in his heart, but when he thought of his martial soul—a phoenix—that chill instantly vanished. He glared back with overwhelming force.

You're just Blue Silver Grass. You think you're worthy of being my opponent?

Keep staring and I'll burn you!

Tang San withdrew his gaze and fought with all his strength.

But without using hidden weapons or the Clear Sky Hammer, he ultimately lost to Dai Mubai.

After all, Dai Mubai held the advantage in both martial soul and Soul Power, and he had experience from the spirit arena.

"I lost." Although he had not used his full strength, Tang San still could not accept this fact.

"Hmph! A trash martial soul is a trash martial soul. Even if you're a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, you're still not my opponent." Dai Mubai snorted coldly.

"There are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters!" Tang San shouted at Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai froze for a moment, not expecting such a huge reaction from Tang San.

"Then you admit that you're a useless Soul Master?" Bai Ye said indifferently, and Tang San's expression stiffened.

Since there were no useless martial souls, didn't that mean he was admitting that he was a useless Soul Master?

"Hahaha! Useless Soul Master!" Ma Hongjun burst out laughing. Even Zhu Zhuqing, the aloof cat-eared beauty, curled her lips into a smile, making Dai Mubai's heart ripple.

Unfortunately, the cat-eared beauty's smile passed over him and blossomed brightly at Bai Ye instead.

"I challenge you!" Tang San refused to accept this. If he had not used his full strength and could not beat Dai Mubai, could he really not beat this damn fatty?

"You're sure?" Ma Hongjun narrowed his eyes slightly.

Dai Mubai and the others also looked ready to enjoy the show. After all, Tang San did not yet know that Ma Hongjun's martial soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix, countered Blue Silver Grass.

"I'm sure!"

"Tang San, Blue Silver Grass martial soul..."

"Ma Hongjun, Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul..."

The two began fighting. Although Ma Hongjun's Soul Power was inferior to Tang San's, his evil fire heavily countered Blue Silver Grass, and Tang San ultimately lost again.

He sat on the ground, questioning his life.

Losing to someone strong was one thing, but how could he also lose to someone weaker?

"Little San." Xiao Wu had intended to go over and comfort him, but in the end, she did not.

"All right, let's go back." Zhao Wuji spoke up, and everyone returned to Shrek Academy.

Meanwhile, at Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong received a message sent by Flender.

"What?!"

Bibi Dong flew into a rage. Ning Fengzhi had taken two Titled Douluo to Star Dou Forest to pursue Bai Ye and the others!

Although she already knew that Bai Ye could support Titled Douluo and understood that Bai Ye most likely would not encounter any problems, she still could not help worrying.

After all, Bai Ye was her disciple. Over the years, she had devoted no small amount of effort and painstaking instruction to him.

She truly liked this child.

At the same time, she understood that the operation against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not go perfectly.

Judging by the timing, when Ghost Douluo acted would be roughly when Ning Fengzhi and the others went to Star Dou Forest.

"I didn't expect Ning Fengzhi to move so quickly. He actually got in touch with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

The information Flender had sent naturally included information about Thunder Douluo. Of course, he had not mentioned Yu Xiaogang.

"This is good too. It saves us from having to act separately later." Bibi Dong's gaze turned cold. This was not a bad thing for her. At least they could wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Just as she was considering whether to make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan pay a price now, Ghost Douluo returned.

He reported the results of the operation to Bibi Dong.

"Your Holiness the Pope, Ning Fengzhi and his daughter, as well as Sword-Bone Douluo, were not there. However, apart from them, all the Soul Masters in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were killed."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

"This isn't your fault. Ning Fengzhi took Bone Douluo and Thunder Douluo to cause trouble for the Holy Son."

"Hmm." Ghost Douluo did not think much of it, but after processing her words, his expression changed drastically. "Then the Holy Son..."

"He should be fine. Although Poison Douluo is weak, in a two-on-two battle, Yue Guan and he should have no trouble escaping with the Holy Son." Bibi Dong remained calm.

But her heart was not so calm. Without news that Bai Ye was safe, she could not settle down.

"What a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! We haven't even acted against them, and they dared to attack the Holy Son of our Spirit Hall first!" Ghost Douluo's eyes turned gloomy, and he immediately said that he wanted to go find Bai Ye.

"Hmm, there's no need to panic. The Holy Son is most likely unharmed. However, Shrek Academy deserves a reward for sending us this information. Reward them ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. Go." Bibi Dong spoke.

"Yes." Ghost Douluo left and headed for Shrek Academy.

When Ghost Douluo arrived at Shrek Academy, Bai Ye and the others had not yet returned, so he found the dean, Flender, and left the Spirit Hall's reward with him.

With ten thousand Gold Soul Coins in hand, Flender could not suppress the grin at the corners of his mouth. At the same time, he became even more certain that his choice had been correct.

"Just sending a message earned us ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. If we continue building a good relationship, wouldn't that become one hundred thousand or even a million Gold Soul Coins?"

Flender began fantasizing. By then, he would have both fame and fortune.

In the future, everyone on the continent would know that the pope of Spirit Hall, a figure comparable to a god, was his student.

"I taught a god!"

Just imagining it made Flender incredibly excited.

Ghost Douluo did not know what Flender was thinking. He only felt that the man looked extremely lecherous, so he immediately lost the desire to continue talking. He turned and headed for the academy gates to wait for Bai Ye.

It was not long before he sensed three familiar auras.

They were Bai Ye, Yue Guan, and Dugu Bo.

"Xiao Ye, are you all right?" Ghost Douluo appeared before Bai Ye and the others, looking concerned, though his eyes still could not help glancing at Xiao Wu.

After all, she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

"I'm fine." Bai Ye smiled.

Immediately afterward, Yue Guan and Dugu Bo also appeared.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, Old Poison, you really didn't die?" Gui Mei said.

"Get lost! You're the one who died!" Dugu Bo replied.

Yue Guan rolled his eyes at Gui Mei.

"You know already?"

"Heh heh heh, of course. That Soul Sage dean from Shrek sent word to the pope."

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up, and he praised inwardly, "Dean, Dean, your decision was far too correct."

"Ning Fengzhi and the others were too..." Ghost Douluo's voice stopped.

Bai Ye's expression sank. At the time, he had almost thought that he was about to transmigrate again.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will both pay the price for this."

His voice was soft, but the killing intent within it made everyone's hearts turn cold.

Everyone knew that Bai Ye was not making an empty threat—and that he truly possessed the strength to do it.

Zhao Wuji and Xiao Wu were equally hateful of them.

If the Sky Azure Bull Python had not arrived in time, the three of them would have suffered at their hands.

With such a deep grudge, how could they not hate them?

Then Bai Ye said that he had something to discuss and had Zhao Wuji and the others leave first. Xiao Wu was reluctant, but in the end, she still followed everyone away.

Bai Ye immediately told Ghost Douluo about the plan he had made earlier. Ghost Douluo froze, then looked at him with gratification.

"The plan is like this. Don't tell the Soul Masters taking part in the operation my identity. What we need is authenticity. Only then will there be no flaws. Otherwise, the entire plan may very well fail."

"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, once I obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and soul bone, my first soul skill will improve again. At that time, my fourth soul skill will also be able to affect Titled Douluo. That will be when Ning Fengzhi and the others pay with their lives."

Right now, Bai Ye could calmly say to someone: You nearly died once? I nearly died too, damn it!

"Uncle Poison, sorry for the trouble. Make a trip to Spirit Hall and tell my teacher about my plan. Once this operation is over, I'll help you remove the poison from your granddaughter."

"No rush, no rush," Poison Douluo said, then left to send the message.

Meanwhile, inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Ning Fengzhi, Thunder Douluo, and the others had gathered together.

Their expressions were solemn. They had already received news that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been almost completely destroyed.

The fate of the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was right before their eyes. Yu Yuanzhen was flustered at this moment, having already attacked the Holy Son of Spirit Hall.

Although Spirit Hall had not acted yet, how could they possibly escape unscathed? They had to prepare for the worst-case scenario of their clan being wiped out.

For this reason, they held an intense discussion here, and finally reached a unanimous decision.

"The Upper Three Sects stood together. They would not stand by and watch them die."

"Besides, once Spirit Hall's Holy Son grew strong enough, what would it matter if the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion? Spirit Hall would definitely avenge their fallen Pope."

Thus, Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen went to the Clear Sky Sect together. To prevent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's tragedy from happening again, they even relocated their entire sect.

Xue Ye went to discuss important matters with the emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

Naturally, their actions could not be hidden from Xue Qinghe. After all, he was the crown prince. If he knew, it meant Spirit Hall knew as well.

Three months later, Bai Ye reached level fifty. The plan began.
