Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 153 Tang San Aims to Match Wu Qi

Wu Qi didn't know whether his spiritual soul bone could be used to investigate the case.

Since we're already here, we might as well give it a try.

"Old man, don't let anyone notice the existence of the soul bone. Be on guard," Wu Qi warned.

The Royal Knights were under the direct control of the Emperor and kept their mouths shut. They were also kept two miles away, and with Dugu Bo's soul power barrier, no one could see the methods Wu Qi used.

After this period of nurturing, the soul bone has been repaired to 60%, and the power of the soul skill will not be reduced too much.

"Head Soul Bone Skill: Illusion Space and Illusion Energy Sharing"

With both soul skills released simultaneously, Wu Qi unleashed his spiritual power to its peak.

In his and Dugu Bo's sight, the shattered carriage was quickly restored, and the dead bodyguard got up.

"Little guy, what kind of trick is this?"

Dugu Bo knew very little about spirit-type soul masters and did not understand what was happening before him.

Wu Qi explained, "I just thought of it. Their bodies haven't decomposed yet, so we can extract some memory fragments from their minds to reconstruct what happened."

This is also what makes the illusion space unique.

To create a dream world that is difficult to distinguish from reality, one must have scenes that have appeared in other people's memories.

This soul skill can extract a portion of another person's memories, making the illusion unbreakable!

Those killed by a spirit-type soul master retain a significant amount of spiritual energy, which provides a prerequisite for reconstructing the course of events.

As the carriage sped along the official road in their sight, a pair of cold eyes stared intently at them from a grove of trees by the roadside.

Suddenly, countless hideous monsters appeared in their sight.

The horses were startled, the vehicle overturned, and all the goods and people on board were thrown out.

It wasn't over yet. Before everyone could get up, the monsters launched another attack.

Among the bodyguards, the strongest possessed the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, yet even he was powerless to resist. The attacker's strength must have been immense!

"They must be trapped in a dream," Dugu Bo said coldly, "A Dream of Bygone Years!"

If it were an ordinary Soul Saint, they would never be valued by a Title Douluo.

But times had changed, and his methods were so bizarre that Dugu Bo remembered the name.

Wu Qi frowned.

After activating his Soul Bone skill, he became particularly sensitive to mental fluctuations. Two mental fluctuations remained around him, one from Shi Nian and the other extremely subtle and difficult to detect, likely originating from another powerful individual.

Hearing his explanation, Dugu Bo snorted, "It seems to be a case of collusion. By the way, I remember that Shi Nian was the dean of Canghui Academy. They will come sooner or later when the competition starts."

"Hmph, I will definitely get the whereabouts of the Soul Bone and his accomplices from him."

Wu Qi reminded him, "Shi Nian is the dean of Canghui Academy. As a participant, his safety is protected by the Empire."

The original intention of holding the Soul Master Competition was to promote the concept of ending war.

During the tournament, no war is allowed on the continent. Even the two empires that have always been at odds will cease hostilities during the tournament.

Murder and arson during a competition would be severely punished, especially when it targets a participant.

"Old man, he dared to rob people back then, which clearly shows he's not a law-abiding citizen."

"Once he reveals his weakness, whether he lives or dies will be up to you. Remember, don't be hasty, and don't act rashly."

In the past, Dugu Bo would have gone straight to Canghui Academy.

Since meeting Wu Qi, he has discovered that strength is not everything. Only by combining it with strategy can one maximize their own interests.

With this thought in mind, he waved his hand, "Whatever you say, I will say." "But don't tell outsiders about this for now. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'd like to give this soul bone to Yan Yan."

……

Inside the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Xiao San, are you crazy?" Yu Xiaogang grabbed Tang San's arm, his face extremely ugly.

Just now, Tang San expressed his intention to absorb the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Years.

Yu Xiaogang was convinced of his own theory, and Tang San's actions were undoubtedly courting death, so how could he agree to it!

Tang San retorted, "But teacher, Wu Qi's fourth spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring. If he can do it, why can't I?"

"Furthermore, if I cannot match Wu Qi in terms of spirit rings, how can I be his opponent in the major competition?"

Tang San may appear to be just the vice-captain, but everyone with eyes can see that he is the true leader of the Shrek Seven Devils.

His behavior, however, is understandable.

As the team leader, if he is weaker than Wu Qi and the team loses the game, he bears the greatest responsibility!
Flander advised, "Mistress, don't judge things by appearances."

"Xiao Gang's theory is correct. Wu Qi was able to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring, which likely means he used other methods."

"We don't know how he did it yet, and trying to imitate him rashly could result in heavy losses."

"Furthermore, do you know that there is a fundamental difference between absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring and absorbing a thousand-year soul ring?"

Tang San's gaze wandered and he couldn't help but look at Yu Xiaogang.

They were clearly unaware of this matter.

Back then, Yu Xiaogang said that it was indeed difficult to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, but as long as one could withstand the impact of the spirit power on the spirit ring, it would be no different from absorbing a spirit ring that was hundreds or thousands of years old.

Could it be that there are other things that the other party has overlooked?

Yu Xiaogang himself had never absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring. He only knew how to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring from hearsay, which he then incorporated directly into his theory.

Liu Erlong added, "Xiao San, a ten-thousand-year soul ring experiences soul vibration, which is fundamentally different from a thousand-year soul ring."

"If we fail to absorb a soul ring that is hundreds or thousands of years old, we can interrupt it in time to effectively reduce the damage to the body, but this is not the case for a soul ring that is thousands of years old."

"If the soul shock cannot be withstood, it will at best cause mental insanity, and at worst cause immediate death, with no possibility of interruption."

Tang San's eyes widened.

These theories were unknown to him.

Yu Xiaogang hadn't said a word until now.

Now that he knows the situation, he acts like a wise man after the event, patting Tang San on the shoulder and adding, "Little San, in the past your strength was far from enough to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring, that's why I didn't tell you the whole story."

"I can say with certainty that even a quasi-Soul King would find it extremely difficult to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, let alone someone like you now."

After speaking, he silently noted down the term "soul vibration," intending to incorporate it into his theory as soon as he returned.

Dai Mubai spoke up: "Yes, Xiao San, I know you're very eager to pursue strength, but you should also act within your capabilities, right?"

Yu Tianheng snorted coldly: "Who knows what kind of evil method Wu Qi used? In any case, we cannot blindly imitate him."

Whether Wu Qi directly absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring or increased its age through some method, they did not know.

Things are different now. In the original timeline, Tang San could have used the excuse of absorbing his third spirit ring beyond its limit to get Flander and the others to agree.

However, his third soul ring's age limit has not exceeded Yu Xiaogang's theoretical limit, and without the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to temper his body, even if he were to absorb it, the success rate would be extremely slim.
