Tang San: Give Me Soul Bones
Sea God Pavilion,
It was clearly just an eight-year-old child wielding ordinary iron, but the movements that were ingrained in the very marrow of his technique already gave the elders their answer.
In the main seat, Mu En's fingers, which were resting on the armrest, tightened slightly, and his cloudy gaze followed the movement of the halberd shadows.
This is indeed a god-level combat skill that surpasses the existing cultivation system of the Douluo Continent.
Clang!
Tang San retracted his wrist, and the iron halberd stood upright beside him, leaving a shallow mark on the ground. The surrounding arcs of Soul Power dissipated, and the Sea God Pavilion fell into silence.
The elder who had previously slammed his fist on the table and questioned Xuan Zi's nonsense was now sweating profusely. He slowly sat back down in his chair, and when he spoke again, the anger in his tone had completely dissipated, and he had even changed his form of address:
"Ancestor Tang San..."
Tang San casually put the iron Trident back into his Storage Soul Tool, ignoring the others, and looked directly up at the main seat.
Mu En looked at him, his aged voice echoing in the hall:
Now that your identity has been confirmed, what is the purpose of your ancestor's journey across the Divine Realm to Shrek?
"Ten thousand years have passed since I ascended to godhood." Tang San stood at the end of the long table, his hands clasped behind his back, adopting the posture of God King looking down upon the Lower Realm.
"Now is the time when the destiny of Douluo Star converges once every ten thousand years. The changes of the past few decades will directly determine the future of the continent for the next ten thousand years. My risky Lower Realm the mortal realm is to guard this place and protect the ten-thousand-year foundation of Shrek Academy."
Upon hearing these high-sounding words, Qian Duoduo sat up straight, a hint of excitement appearing on her face.
In his view, Tang San's ancestor founded the Tang Sect and can be considered the ancestor of Hidden Weapons. Now that he has come to Shrek, it will be of great benefit to the development of Soul Tool!
Although Elder Song's gaze towards the boy softened somewhat, a hint of scrutiny still lingered in his eyes.
Elder Lin glanced at Xuan Zi and saw that the usually loudest Taotie Douluo was staring at the tips of his shoes with his head down, so he wisely shut his mouth and didn't say anything.
Tang San waited in place for a moment, and seeing that everyone was listening quietly and no one dared to raise any objections, he continued:
"Since we must face this great calamity, my body cannot afford to be idle. Therefore, the first thing I must do upon returning to the hospital is to address this matter."
Mu En looked at him. "Ancestor, please speak."
Tang San spoke naturally, as if instructing his own storeroom servant:
"List all the Soul Bone currently existing in Shrek's Treasury, regardless of grade, by name, age, body part, and known associated abilities, in order for me to review and select."
Qian Duoduo had just picked up the teacup on the table to moisten her throat when she heard this, and her hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air.
Xian Lin'er turned her head to look at Yan Shaozhe opposite her. Yan Shaozhe's face also stiffened for a moment, and his eyes were somewhat blank.
In the main seat, Mu En's fingers, which were resting on the back of the chair, paused slightly.
Tang San, however, seemed completely oblivious to everyone's reactions, and added to himself, "With Shrek's millennia-long accumulation, I imagine the items in the vault won't disappoint me."
Within the Undead Half-Plane, Gu Mingyuan resummoned the towering White Demon Body and turned to look at the Snow Empress beside him:
"There are definitely still many Mingde Hall guards left in the ruins outside. In a moment, you ride the White Demon and rush out first, making some noise on the other side to lure the patrols away. I'll sneak out in the chaos, and once I'm free, you can come back directly according to the contract. At the same time, I'll put away the Demon Body."
Snow Empress nodded calmly, "Alright. Just be careful not to get cornered by those Soul Engineer."
After saying that, she transformed into a streak of icy blue light and disappeared into the White Demon's chest. The White Demon's empty eye sockets suddenly lit up with a cold light.
Electrolux raised his withered Palm and slashed a gray spatial rift in mid-air.
The moment the portal opened, the pungent smell of burning and the cacophony of voices from outside rushed in. Without pausing, the White Demon pushed off the ground with its long legs, and its entire Demon Body shot out of the gray portal like an arrow.
Boom!
A bone-chilling cold suddenly erupted in the dilapidated underground Warehouse, instantly overturning two rows of already rickety metal shelves and sending dust billowing into the air.
Who goes there?!
"Over there! Activate the detection array!"
A series of urgent alarms suddenly sounded inside and outside the Warehouse District. The Mingde Hall guards, who were originally scattered throughout the ruins taking stock of the damage and moving rubble, all turned around. Dozens of soul-guided beams and searchlights instantly converged, closely following the pale, tall figure rushing towards the side passage.
Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the White Demon, Gu Mingyuan stepped out of the closing gray portal.
The moment he landed, he immediately lowered his breathing and completely suppressed the fluctuations of his Soul Power.
[No Such Person] in effect.
On the high platform above, invisible ripples released by two level-eight Spiritual Detection Soul Tool swept across the entire ruins. The ripples passed inch by inch behind the broken wall where Gu Mingyuan was crouching, but it was as if they were sweeping across a lifeless stone, without causing the slightest feedback, and slid directly towards the shadows in the distance.
Gu Mingyuan, clinging to the collapsed load-bearing pillar and using the thick black smoke and rubble as cover, quickly made his way to the ventilation vent on the other side.
Two guards hurriedly ran past him, their eyes catching glimpses of the shadowy figure, but they subconsciously ignored it, gripping their soul-guided rifles and heading straight for the direction where the White Demon had made a commotion.
In just over ten breaths, Gu Mingyuan had already bypassed the Inner Vault's blockade and silently slipped out of the Core Area of the Mingde Hall through the broken underground pipes.
On the other side, Jing Hongchen, who had not yet left the scene, was checking the list with the register when he suddenly sensed the extremely cold aura emanating from the depths of the Warehouse District, which was at least at the level of a title holder. His face instantly turned bright red.
"How dare you! You still dare to cause trouble at the Mingde Hall!"
With a furious roar, Jing Hongchen unleashed the full power of his Flying Soul Tool, transforming himself into a streak of light as he sped toward the direction of White Demon.
At the end of the ruins, sensing that Gu Mingyuan had safely escaped the blockade, the Snow Empress, riding the White Demon, stopped. She turned around, looked at Jing Hongchen who was rushing towards her menacingly from mid-air, raised her right arm covered with pale bone armor, and slashed horizontally with the deep blue Ice Sword in her palm.
A streak of azure ice light, several meters long, tore through the air and slashed directly at Jing Hongchen.
As she unleashed this sword strike, the Snow Empress showed no hesitation in the fight, instantly withdrawing her spiritual consciousness through the contract channel. Her towering White Demon Body, under the control of Gu Mingyuan's thoughts from afar, disintegrated into a sky full of white light and vanished into thin air.
As soon as Jing Hongchen rushed forward, he was met head-on by the piercing Sword Light, and his expression changed drastically. The chill contained in this sword made him dare not be careless, and he had no time to fire a counterattack. He could only hurriedly set up a three-sided linked defensive shield in front of him!
