Douluo, my martial soul is the Rock King Emperor

Chapter 31: No Breakthrough
After resting for a while, the group continued their search. Just like that, a few days later...

"found it!"

The master looked with surprise at a circle of vines entwined on the rock wall not far away.

"This is a ghost vine, a very powerful plant soul beast. It is estimated to be over 700 years old, but definitely no more than years old!"

The master spoke slowly.

Xu Huan was standing nearby, and said with a questioning look on his face.

"Ha, that's it, Master. This vine looks very weak. Is it really suitable to be the spirit ring for my third brother?"

After hearing this, the master glared at Xu Huan.

"Hmph, ignorant!"

"According to my theory, this ghost vine will attach two powerful properties, toxin and parasitism, to Xiao San's martial spirit. Combined with the original toughness of the mandragora snake, Tang San's strength will definitely increase greatly!"

The master said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but believe what the master said.

"Okay, let's decide on this one!"

Soon, under the continuous attacks of everyone, the ghost vine was easily subdued.

This time, Tang San is finally ready to absorb the spirit ring.

However, at the last minute, Xu Huan decided to give the master some eye drops.

"Third brother, I still think this ghost vine is too weak. The forest lizard from before is better."

When Tang San heard this, he was a little hesitant, but finally chose to believe the master.

After all, even if he didn't believe the master, there was nothing he could do. The forest lizard had already been released, and catching it again in this huge Star Forest would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Stop talking, just leave it at that!"

Tang San waved his hand to persuade Xu Huan to retreat, and then began to absorb the ghost vine soul ring directly.

However, as soon as he absorbed it, Tang San regretted it.

He found it too easy.

It was much easier than the Mandrake Snake Soul Ring. He absorbed the Ghost Vine Soul Ring almost effortlessly.

In fact, Tang San has been in a period of rapid physical growth and development in the past two years. Under the encouragement of Xu Huan, Tang San has been practicing and exercising day and night. With the Tang Sect's secret skills and the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique, Tang San's physical fitness has long surpassed that of soul masters of the same level.

Xu Huan was the one who knew this best. He shared Tang San's cultivation results every day. He knew best how hard Tang San worked. Sometimes when he was playing with Xiao Wu in the middle of the night, Tang San was still practicing hard, which showed Tang San's efforts.

According to Xu Huan's estimation, Tang San's second soul ring can definitely absorb an eight-hundred-year-old soul beast. Even if he grits his teeth, it is not impossible to absorb a nine-hundred-year-old soul beast with the help of the protagonist's halo.

But now, Tang San has only absorbed a 600-year-old ghost vine.

Now Tang San regretted very much for not listening to Xu Huan, but it was too late to say anything now. He had already started absorbing the spirit ring, and it was naturally impossible to stop halfway. There was no way, Tang San could only bite the bullet and absorb the spirit ring.

In just less than two hours, Tang San had completed the absorption of the spirit ring and stood up with a gloomy look on his face.

"Xiao San, how is it going? What soul skills did you obtain?"

The master couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

Tang San looked at the master, feeling a little resentful, but without answering, he turned to look at Xu Huan.

"Xiao Huan, according to our previous agreement, let's duel!"

Tang San said this, and directly revealed his martial spirit, with his aura fully open.

So what if my spirit ring is of low age? I, Tang San, am no weaker than others even if I don’t have a spirit ring of high age!
Seeing this, Xu Huan also stepped forward happily and said:
"Okay, let me see your new soul skill, Third Brother!"

The next moment, under the gaze of everyone, the two of them moved at the same time.

"Jade Shield!"

"Blue silver entanglement!"

Xu Huan used the Jade Shield as usual, and Tang San also used Blue Silver Coil. The huge Blue Silver Grass immediately entangled Xu Huan, but due to the protection of the Jade Shield, Xu Huan did not suffer any damage. "Third brother, it seems that you still can't do anything to me!"

Xu Huan said with a smile.

Tang San smiled faintly when he heard this.

"Xiao Huan, you underestimate me. It's not over yet!"

As he spoke, Tang San's second spirit ring suddenly lit up.

"The second soul skill, parasitism!"

Tang San shouted.

The blue silver grass wrapped around Xu Huan suddenly produced countless parasitic seeds, which took root towards Xu Huan's jade shield.

The master looked at this scene and a relieved smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Well done, San!"

His theory was indeed correct. The ghost vine added two properties to the blue silver grass: poison and parasitism. With the parasitism soul skill, Tang San was no longer afraid of Xu Huan's shield!
The master smiled, and suddenly, his smile gradually disappeared.

On the field, Tang San's parasitic seeds were taking root in Xu Huan's shield. In the master's imagination, after the seeds were parasitic, they could continuously absorb Xu Huan's soul power, and Xu Huan's shield would naturally not be able to be maintained. However, the actual situation was slightly different from what the master thought.

I saw the roots of the seeds piercing towards Xu Huan's shield, and then... they didn't penetrate.

Yes, it didn’t penetrate. In simple terms, it failed to break Xu Huan’s defense.

Xu Huan was now inside the shield, staring blankly at Tang San, and asked in confusion:
"Third brother, where is your soul skill? Why don't you use it?"

Tang San's face suddenly froze in place.

Can he say that what he just saw was his soul skill?
"Third brother, if you don't use your soul skills, then I will use them first!"

As he spoke, Xu Huan's second soul ring lit up. In an instant, countless stones the size of washbasins fell from the sky. Tang San's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he quickly used Ghost Shadow to dodge.

However, these stones were like raindrops, covering an area of ​​100 meters. Tang San had no time to dodge and was soon hit on the shoulder by a stone.

“It hurts!”

Tang San's expression instantly became ferocious.

Before, when he saw Xu Huan use this spirit skill to attack the vine wood ape, the vine wood ape had to withstand several hits. He thought that the attack power of this spirit skill was not very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

Before Tang San could react, the second stone fell, and then the third, and the fourth...

Once you are hit by the first stone, it will be more difficult to dodge the next ones.

Soon, Tang San was knocked to the ground, holding his head and shouting:
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat, Xiao Huan, I admit defeat!"

Tang San shouted.

However, the sound of the stones hitting each other was too loud for Xu Huan to hear.

Soon, Tang San was buried by stones.

Only then did Xu Huan stop attacking.

Then he dug Tang San out from the pile of rocks.

"Third brother, you can't win, why don't you surrender? I thought you were going to use your ultimate move. So, what exactly is your second soul skill?"

"I……"

At this moment, Tang San felt like there was something stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Xu Huan stepped forward, patted Tang San on the shoulder, and said:
"Okay, Third Brother, no matter what, I won this time. It seems that you are still too weak. Let me accompany you to protect you when you go to Shrek in the future."

This time, Tang San couldn't say anything to refute.

He just clenched his fists and looked at the master with more and more resentment.

If he had absorbed the Fujiki Monkey or the Forest Lizard, he would never have been defeated so miserably!
