Tang San's Fourth Soul Ring Is for Support

"We need to contact Tang San's father right away. Only he can save Tang San."

Yu Xiaogang rubbed his reddened eyes. He had lost control just now, and like Xiao Wu, he had wanted to go save Tang San.

After calming down for a while, Yu Xiaogang still chose the safest option.

Everyone here thought the same way. Even the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill could not defeat Dugu Bo. Going there would only mean certain death.

Afterward, they returned to Shrek Academy with dejected expressions.

After entrusting Xiao Wu to Zhu Zhuqing's care, Liu Erlong left.

As night fell, Xiao Wu opened her eyes while Xiao Yexuan was playing games with Tang San.

"Third Brother, I'll definitely save you."

Then, Xiao Wu turned into a streak of light and swiftly left Shrek Academy, heading toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Wu had been knocked awake as well. She knew that she could not save Tang San with her own strength alone.

She needed to find reinforcements in the Star Dou Great Forest. Da Ming and Er Ming were good choices.

While those outside went all out to rescue Tang San, Xiao Yexuan received the reward for the Punishment Value he had earned from Tang San today within the Ice and Fire Duality Eye.

Ding! You have inflicted 50,000 points of Punishment Value upon Tang San and obtained five Black Rewards.

Ding! Obtained 5 points of Soul Power ×2! All Soul Ring lifespans increased by Ten Thousand Years ×2! Obtained Random Martial Soul Broken Sword!

Huh? Xiao Yexuan froze for a moment. His Soul Power had risen to Level 30.

But it had given him a Martial Soul? That seemed pretty good.

Xiao Yexuan summoned his Martial Soul, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

A broken sword—it really was a so-called broken sword.

It was clearly just a battered, weathered junk sword that had seen countless battlefields.

Still, Xiao Yexuan was not disappointed. After all, in Douluo Continent 2, someone had proven with facts that there were no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters.

His Sword Dao might not be unable to raise the power of this broken sword.

Besides, even the most useless Martial Soul would be terrifying if it were fitted with nine Soul Rings above the Hundred-Thousand-Year level!

Thinking this, Xiao Yexuan opened the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Xiao Yexuan discovered that for the Soul Beasts stored within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, if they had Soul Rings, he could absorb those Soul Rings and use them as his own.

This Ten Thousand Soul Banner was truly not bad. It provided Xiao Yexuan with a container for storing Soul Rings.

However, the Soul Rings inside had rather low lifespans. It would be great if these Soul Beasts could devour one another.

Xiao Yexuan found a Soul Ring within it that suited the broken sword very well.

It belonged to a Ten Thousand Year Sabertooth White Tiger with a cultivation of twenty thousand years.

It was a little low, but the system had just rewarded him with the ability to increase Soul Ring lifespans. It was not as though it could not be raised to the Hundred-Thousand-Year level in the future.

After finishing the absorption, Xiao Yexuan found a Third Soul Ring for his Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul as well.

Within Sunset Forest, Xiao Yexuan had the Soul Beasts inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner search for powerful Soul Beasts every day, either capturing them or luring them over with treasures.

It looked as if he had captured all the powerful Soul Beasts in the surrounding area.

But many powerful Soul Beasts slept for centuries or even millennia at a time. Some Soul Beasts that had reached the end of their lifespan wanted to do nothing but quietly await death's arrival.

Therefore, powerful Soul Beasts were like water in a sponge—squeeze hard enough, and there would always be some.

Xiao Yexuan had collected quite a few Soul Rings as well.

The next day.

"Little San, you eat so much of my food every day, and you've already reached Level 40. As expected of someone I've taken a liking to."

Xiao Yexuan had many precious treasures in this place, enough to eat as daily meals without any problem.

Everything produced here contained extremely powerful energy.

For Tang San, eating them was the same as consuming treasures.

Of course her level rose quickly.

No wonder Tang San had been so excited every night these past few days. She had found a quick way to improve.

"Meow~! Thank you for the reward, Master, meow~!" Tang San obediently rubbed her head against Xiao Yexuan's leg.

Xiao Yexuan did not need to guess what she was thinking inside.

"Mm, very good. Since you've reached a bottleneck, absorb a Soul Ring."

"What kind of Soul Ring should you absorb?"

Xiao Yexuan stared at Tang San and fell into thought.

Tang San did not dare make a sound. Right now, she was merely a Little Kitty and a little toy at Xiao Yexuan's side, completely unable to control her own fate.

She had no right to interrupt.

Yet she was deeply uneasy, hoping Xiao Yexuan would not give her a Soul Ring she disliked.

Although her Blue Silver Grass was the most worthless Martial Soul, she was now following the Path of Poison.

It was extremely powerful.

Xiao Yexuan saw that Tang San's forehead was already covered in sweat.

His lips curled upward.

Punishing Tang San, tormenting Tang San... Naturally, he should give her whatever she disliked most.

Thus, Xiao Yexuan quickly recalled her Fourth Soul Ring.

Xiao Yexuan opened the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and something resembling a lotus appeared.

It was a Snow Lotus with six thousand years of cultivation.

Xiao Yexuan had found it through the mutual attraction between immortal-grade treasures.

A thousand-year Snow Lotus would have found it difficult to survive until now without any protection.

As it happened, a powerful Soul Beast had intended to wait until the Snow Lotus matured into a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast before using it. That was how Xiao Yexuan had managed to pick it up.

At the time, Xiao Yexuan had already thought of giving Tang San this Soul Ring.

He would make Tang San follow the Support Path in the future.

Even for Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, Xiao Yexuan did not intend to give her powerful Soul Rings.

This was torment. This was punishment.

Making Tang San's Twin Martial Souls completely useless would be far more entertaining.

Tang San blankly stared at the lotus before her.

This is a plant-type Soul Beast, isn't it?

I, Tang San, need Soul Rings with high attack power and potent poison!

Is a tiny Snow Lotus forcing me onto the Support Path?

"Little San, this suits you very well. Hurry up and absorb it."

Xiao Yexuan handed the Soul Ring to Tang San. The Snow Lotus had been killed by a Soul Beast within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, not by Xiao Yexuan, so it was ownerless and anyone could absorb it.

"Th... thank you, Master, meow~!"

Tang San was unwilling in a thousand different ways. Once she absorbed this Soul Ring, her advantages would be completely gone in the future.

Yet she could not resist. She even had to smile and thank that hateful Xiao Yexuan.

Still, Tang San was quite good at consoling herself. She still had another Martial Soul. Blue Silver Grass was a useless Martial Soul and could not become very powerful later on anyway.

She would still have to rely on the Clear Sky Hammer.

Her father, Tang Hao, possessed the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. After cultivating to become a Titled Douluo, his strength was terrifying beyond measure!

Once I fill the Clear Sky Hammer's Soul Rings with Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings in the future, its power will be so strong it'll be absolutely outrageous!

Thinking this way, Tang San gladly accepted the Support System Soul Ring Xiao Yexuan had given her.

She began absorbing the power within the Soul Ring.
