"Oh my, I really didn't expect this! You, Xiao San, are actually going to become Titled Douluo before me!" Qi Ling couldn't help but laugh. "Once you become Titled Douluo, you should be qualified to succeed as the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, right?"
Tang San smiled and said, "Yes, if it's according to the previous conditions, then that's how it is. However, everything depends on me obtaining my Ninth Soul Ring first."
"Hehe, the Ninth Soul Ring is a very important choice, after all, it will be one of your strongest Soul Skill," Qi Ling laughed. "Have you decided what kind of Soul Ring you need?"
Tang San pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I haven't decided yet. What do you think, brother?"
"Well, I'm not sure either. A Xue, Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, what do you think?" Qi Ling had already given some ideas, but she still asked the others.
Xiao Wu and Hu Liena naturally knew very little about this and didn't offer any constructive suggestions. However, Qian Renxue said, "I think Tang San's Ninth Soul Ring should still focus on control abilities. After all, the Blue Silver Emperor's spirit ring was developed in this direction. Changing it again would be detrimental."
"Yes, that's right, that's what I was thinking too, so I have a good idea, but I don't know if I can find it," Qi Ling said. "However, I've been observing the Star Dou Great Forest for so long, it shouldn't be wrong."
Tang San couldn't help but ask curiously, "Oh? Big brother, what kind of Soul Beast are you talking about? Have we ever seen one?"
"It's simple, you'll see when the time comes," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Although this Soul Beast is very strong, you should be able to handle Xiao San. A Xue and I won't make a move, so you'll have to do your best."
With the Sea God Trident in hand, Tang San's strength was already enough to deal with a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. Therefore, although the Soul Beast that Qi Ling chose for Tang San was very special, it was still no challenge for him.
With a clear target in mind, everything became much easier. Although finding a specific Soul Beast in the vast Star Dou Great Forest was like finding a needle in a haystack, Qi Ling's research eventually yielded some results.
"That's it! This is the Soul Beast I chose for you, Xiao San, the most suitable one for you." Qi Ling said, pointing to the emerald green figure under a tree in the distance.
Looking at the small figure, everyone was surprised. Hu Liena said directly, "What? Qi Ling, if I'm not mistaken, that should be a small snake, right? Is there anything special about this snake?"
Before Qi Ling could speak, Tang San blurted out instinctively, "A... Mandala Snake? This is actually a Mandala Snake?"
"Yes, it's the Mandala Snake, the same snake as your First Soul Ring, Xiao San!" Qi Ling said. "Such a similar Soul Beast will not only evolve your Soul Skill, but also bring unexpected benefits!"
"Your Blue Silver Emperor's most important control method is Entanglement, and the Mandala Snake can enhance this, greatly increasing your Blue Silver Emperor's resilience! The Mandala Snake's physical strength is renowned."
Hu Liena then said, "But Qi Ling, even so, how old is this little snake? Isn't it too young?"
"No, this kind of Mandala Snake doesn't get bigger as it gets older. In fact, its size gradually shrinks after it reaches a certain stage," Qi Ling said.
"So what we're seeing now isn't some ten-thousand-year-old snake, but a genuine one-hundred-thousand-year-old Mandala Snake —no, it should be called a one-hundred-thousand-year-old Mandala Snake Emperor!"
Everyone was surprised to hear Qi Ling's words, because the little snake looked unremarkable and did not give the impression of having any amazing power.
However, Qi Ling then explained that the Mandala Snake is extremely good at disguise, so concealing its aura is like an instinct for it. In fact, the current Mandala Snake Emperor doesn't feel as powerful as an ordinary hundred-year-old Mandala Snake.
"Just like the Transformation Herb, this thing is really hard to find, but luckily we were fortunate," Qi Ling laughed. "Alright, Xiao San, the rest is up to you."
Tang San, naturally, didn't hold back. Holding the Sea God Trident, he charged forward, intending to finish off the little snake in one blow.
However, if Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast were so easily dealt with, it would probably have gone extinct long ago. The moment it sensed the attack, the Mandala Snake reacted and dodged its vital parts. The Sea God Trident slashed across its body, creating a shower of sparks, but it did not cause any damage.
Seeing this, Tang San became serious. No wonder his elder brother said that this was the most suitable choice for him. After 100,000 years, the toughness of the Mandala Snake's body would be so amazing! Even the Sea God Trident couldn't do anything to it.
With such resilience, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor will undoubtedly become even more powerful, with greatly enhanced control, which will significantly boost his overall strength.
Tang San could ignore the venom of the Mandala Snake, and the Mandala Snake wasn't known for its venom. For a time, Tang San and the Mandala Snake Emperor were evenly matched.
" Qi Ling, do you need my help?" Qian Renxue asked. "My True Solar Fire can break through the scales of this Mandala Snake Emperor and melt it, so Tang San won't have to work so hard."
Qi Ling laughed and said, "No need, A Xue, Xiao San can handle it himself. It's just a snake; it won't be difficult for him."
The biggest problem Tang San encountered in dealing with this snake was that he couldn't break through its defenses! His strength was even greater than the snake's, but his attacks were ineffective, so he couldn't achieve any significant results.
That's why the Mandala Snake Emperor didn't rush to escape. Since you can't hurt me, the outcome of this battle is still uncertain!
"Damn it, there's no other way. Since I can't cut through your snakeskin, I'll have to try another method!" Tang San said, casually putting away the Sea God Trident and then surprisingly conjuring up his Clear Sky Hammer.
Since we can't defeat it from the outside, let's deal with it from the inside! One of the important attributes of the Clear Sky Hammer's attack is shock! Utilizing its immense weight, even a simple shock can kill it.
Furthermore, Tang San used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer again at this moment. The snake, of course, did not know to interrupt Tang San's performance in time, so by the time it realized that the situation was not good, it was already too late.
