Chasing Tang San, Divine Soul Evolution!
The bright moon hung high in the sky once more. It was already evening, and the morning's battle had long since ended. The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was dead as dead could be.
At that very moment, Oscar was still doing his utmost to absorb the thousand-year purple Soul Ring before him, while the others sat around a campfire, their thoughts unknown.
Fire, fire again... My Blue Silver Grass couldn't do anything at all. A little burn was all it took to turn it all to ash... Recalling the battle that day, Tang San fell silent as he looked at the Blue Silver Grass in his hand.
In particular, when Tianyu had fired off Fire Burst: Burning, Tang San had wanted to use Entanglement to restrain the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and keep it from taking flight and running away.
But when Tianyu's fire touched that little strand of Blue Silver Grass, it didn't even leave ashes behind, let alone scraps.
He glanced at Tianyu without thinking. To his shock, his dear Xiao Wu was chatting and laughing beside Tianyu, the mood between them extraordinary.
In Tianyu's plan, Xiao Wu was actually his Contract Beast in secret. In public, they were to have as little contact as possible, to keep that Schrödinger's Tang Hao from noticing anything amiss.
However, Xiao Wu was always distracted, so she had no choice but to stay by her master's side for a sense of security.
As for Tang San?
He was just her master's assignment~
No, why has nothing gone smoothly for me, Tang San, since I met him? I've even lost my confidence... Tang San's pupils contracted sharply.
In a daze, he instinctively looked at his empty left hand, then gradually clenched his teeth:
According to Teacher, my future holds far more than this.
I'm a genius with Twin Martial Souls. The hammer Martial Soul in my left hand is definitely extraordinary. If I can add Soul Rings to it, I definitely won't be inferior to Tianyu.
I might even...
Far surpass him! At that thought, Tang San finally felt better. After some more time passed, Oscar finished several hours of absorption and finally drew the Thousand-Year Soul Ring into his body.
The instant he successfully absorbed the Soul Ring, Oscar felt refreshed in mind and body, better than he ever had before.
This is great! I've finally become a Soul Elder. Only now can I hold my head high in front of Ning Rongrong!
Oscar was wild with joy. Little did he know that, all of a sudden, the earth would tremble, leaving even Zhao Wuji dumbfounded.
Everyone hurriedly went on guard. The Scarlet Flame Lion instinctively sucked the flames from the burning campfire into its mouth, preventing the conspicuous firelight from exposing their location.
It was worth mentioning that, as time passed, the Divine Soul Scarlet Flame Lion had gradually been able to turn all of Tianyu's Soul Ring skills into instincts.
"Teacher Zhao, what do we do? What's happening?"
At the first sign of danger, Oscar couldn't be bothered to save face. He quickly darted behind Zhao Wuji and peeked out with only his head showing.
"A great terror is coming! Everyone, stay alert!"
After using Martial Soul Possession, Zhao Wuji hurriedly warned everyone.
But just as he was about to say more, a gravitational pressure even more terrifying than his own suddenly and silently bore down on everyone.
As a level 76 Soul Saint, Zhao Wuji might occasionally have been unreliable in the original story, but his desire to protect the academy's students was genuine.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Wuji roared in anger:
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!!!"
Hum, hum, hum-
Seven Soul Rings shone in succession beneath his feet. In particular, the seventh rose suddenly flashed with black light, and before everyone's eyes, Zhao Wuji's body rapidly swelled in size.
Unfortunately, in the face of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's power, all resistance was nothing more than a joke.
When everyone raised their heads, they saw a giant ape over fifteen meters tall, its massive body like a mountain, its muscles knotted and bulging, its presence vast and terrifying!
Each slab of muscle was like a little mountain stacked atop another. Its hide was thick and dark grayish-brown, looking hard as hell at a glance, and traces that seemed to be flowing magma ran between its muscles.
Not only that, its head was enormous, its simian face bore fangs, and its eyes had dark golden, vertical pupils. It was none other than the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape!
In front of everyone, the Titan Giant Ape seized Xiao Wu with one hand. Zhao Wuji tried to stop it, only for the giant ape to slap him senseless.
But the next moment, the Titan Giant Ape looked at Xiao Wu in its hand and froze for an instant. Then, without sparing the others a glance, it left at great speed.
Awoo, awoo~
The sudden Gravity Enhancement caught even Tianyu somewhat off guard. Only the Scarlet Flame Lion on his shoulder looked excited, completely unaffected.
The Scarlet Flame Lion bounced up and down, looking eager for a fight.
In contrast, Tang San, who had watched his beloved get snatched away by a Soul Beast, instantly flew into a rage. His eyes turned red on the spot, and he panted like an ox.
"Xiao Wu-"
Perhaps because his own fortune was relatively strong, Tang San's Soul Power had suddenly broken through to level 30 under that wave of Gravity Enhancement.
Somewhere in the shadows, something seemed to be getting ready to rush to Tang San's door and offer itself to him for free.
After hesitating for only a moment, Tang San charged in the direction the Titan Giant Ape had gone before anyone else could react. He activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, moving at tremendous speed.
Through the Soul Contract and his knowledge of the original story, Tianyu knew that although his presence had caused some butterfly effects, Xiao Wu would definitely be fine.
For that very reason, Tianyu was not worried in the slightest. Instead, he looked excitedly in the direction Tang San had gone.
There are a few small changes, but they shouldn't be anything to worry about.
Zhu Zhuqing, let's go. Follow Tang San! Tianyu communicated with Zhu Zhuqing through the Soul Contract.
But then Tianyu noticed that someone seemed to be clinging tightly to his thigh, not daring to let go for even a moment.
He looked down and saw that it was Ning Rongrong, who usually cared about her face more than anyone!
"Tianyu, you took Rongrong's treasure, so you have to protect me!" Ning Rongrong said hurriedly, forcing down her fear. But how could Tianyu spare her any attention?
Getting his hands on the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, was the most important thing right now!
"Don't worry, I'll protect you. Let go first..."
"I won't! Besides, it's so dangerous over there. Where are you going?" Ning Rongrong said aggrievedly, little pearls of tears dripping from the corners of her eyes.
"Xiao Wu was taken, and I'm going to save her. Don't worry, if you ever get taken, I'll save you too."
"Teacher Zhao is here now. He's a level 76 Soul Saint. You'll be much safer staying by his side than mine!"
As Tianyu comforted her, he took out a Heaven-Breaking Stone and forcibly hypnotized her. Before long, Ning Rongrong had regained her resolve, and she was deeply moved by Tianyu's "loyalty and devotion."
When she let go, Tianyu and Zhu Zhuqing went straight into the dense forest, disappearing completely into the night.
Dai Mubai wanted to call out and stop them, but the fright brought by the Titan Giant Ape, far beyond what had happened in the original story, left his body trembling. He couldn't even speak.
Like a helpless husband, he could only watch as his fiancée ran off with another man~
As soon as they were away from the others, Tianyu's eyes lit up, his face full of wild joy.
In an instant, a purple Heaven-Breaking Stone appeared between his fingers, and without the slightest hesitation, he tossed it into the air.
"Go, Zhu Zhuqing~"
"Divine Soul evolution, Hell Spirit Cat!!!"
