Douluo: Yu Hao is reborn, this Tang San is different

Chapter 90: Evil soul beast, the way to death!
Upon hearing this, Lord Long slammed the dragon-patterned staff in his hand to the ground with a clang, and his cloudy old eyes stared at the glittering Seven Treasures Glazed Tower.

The snake woman's wrinkled hands clenched the snake-head staff tightly, her knuckles turning bluish-white. The two of them froze in place as if under a spell, and the fierce murderous aura receded like a tide.

The Dragon Lord of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Adam's apple rolled, his voice as dry as sandpaper. He recalled the horrific scene he witnessed three years ago at the border of the Xingluo Empire, when two elders of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, working together with Sword Douluo Chenxin, instantly annihilated an entire army of spirit masters.

The snake-headed staff of the snake woman had already dropped to the ground. She inconspicuously took a half step closer to the Dragon Lord and said in a low voice, "Old man, for a thousand-year spirit ring..."

Before she could finish her words, Lord Long raised his hand to stop her.

"Let's go." Duke Long squeezed out these three words from between his teeth and slammed his dragon-patterned staff.

Meng Yiran glanced unwillingly at Oscar who was absorbing the soul ring, but was grabbed by the wrist by the snake woman.

The three of them left looking rather embarrassed. Duke Long took a dozen steps and then suddenly turned back, his sinister gaze sweeping across the faces of the Shrek people. "I'll remember what happened today." His words were harsh but weak, as if he was trying to save face.

It was not until the three figures completely disappeared in the woods that Zhao Wuji's straight back suddenly collapsed.

"Cough cough."

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his sturdy body slid down as if the bones had been pulled out. Qin Ming quickly caught him and found that this iron tower-like man was trembling slightly.

"Teacher Zhao!" Ning Rongrong ran over in a hurry. Tang San had already taken out the golden medicine he carried with him and was skillfully treating the deep wound on Zhao Wuji's arm that was visible to the bone.

"No, nothing." Zhao Wuji grinned, revealing a smile uglier than crying, and said, "Just... a little weak."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and the last few words were almost lingering in his mouth. Everyone then realized that the clothes on Zhao Wuji's back had already been soaked with cold sweat and were sticking to his skin.

Qin Ming helped Zhao Wuji sit down against the tree roots and turned to look at Oscar. The young man was enveloped by a pale purple spirit ring, and a look of pain and excitement appeared on his face.

Ma Hongjun squatted beside him to protect him, looking at Zhao Wuji worriedly from time to time.

On the other side, Dugu Yan was enveloped in a ball of inky black light, with a look of pain and excitement mixed on her pale face.

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, with the Nine Rings looming around him. Suddenly, he turned his head to look in the direction of Shrek Academy, with a playful smile on his lips.

"The little girl from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect..." He twisted a falling leaf between his fingers, his emerald pupils shrinking slightly. "And that kid called Tang San." The leaf suddenly turned to dust between his fingers. "He's getting more and more interesting."

Deep in the Star Forest

The towering ancient trees suddenly parted, and the Titan Ape's massive body nimbly landed on a moonlit clearing. Carefully placing its palms close to the ground, Xiao Wu gracefully leaped down, her scorpion braids tracing a graceful arc in the air.

"Er Ming!" Xiao Wu's red eyes were filled with tears, and she punched the Titan Ape's thick fingers with her pink fists. "Do you know what just happened—"

"Sister Xiao Wu," the Titan Ape shrank back in grievance, its voice rumbling like thunder. It crouched, its crimson eyes filled with worry. "That green-haired human is very dangerous," it said, gesturing with its thick fingers. "His eyes can see through many things."

Xiao Wu was suddenly stunned and slowly loosened her clenched fists.

The moonlight shone through the gaps in the trees onto her delicate face, making it appear pale.

Xiao Wu certainly knew how terrifying Dugu Bo was—the Titled Douluo who was known as the Poison Overlord of the World. If Dugu Bo hadn't paid special attention to her, she would probably have been exposed by now.

Xiao Wu was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and her pink soles made a puffing sound as they stepped on the soft moss.

"Er Ming!" She tugged at a tuft of the Titan Ape's hair and shook it, saying, "Third brother must be going crazy right now!"

The moonlight shone on her red eyes, reflecting the crystal water light.

Two streams of white air blew out of the Titan Ape's nostrils, and three fingers carefully protected Xiao Wu: "That green-haired human is still here. I can't send you back until he leaves."

"But." Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, her scorpion braid swinging restlessly.

A few hours later, Oscar's eyelids trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant, the originally light pink soul light on his body suddenly changed, turning into a gorgeous pink halo, enveloping him completely.

Three spirit rings rose from his feet one after another. The first two yellow spirit rings remained unchanged, while the newly added purple spirit ring emitted powerful energy fluctuations, demonstrating the extraordinary nature of the thousand-year spirit ring. At this point, Oscar finally broke through the shackles of the Great Spirit Master and officially entered the ranks of the Soul Master.

"Thirty-level Food-type Soul Master, Oscar." He whispered his new realm, his voice filled with undisguised joy.

Zhao Wuji leaned against a nearby tree trunk. Although his face was still pale, a gratified smile appeared in his eyes. "Not bad, Xiao Ao. Everyone's hard work paid off."

Dai Mubai strode over and patted Oscar's shoulder vigorously. "Little Ao, well done! Now you and Tang San are the first in our team to break through level 30." His eyes flashed with curiosity. "Let us see your third soul skill."

Oscar suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard this, and he hesitated, "Well, how about we talk about it when we get back?"

Ma Hongjun poked his head out from behind the tree and said with a mischievous smile, "What's going on? Could it be that this soul curse is even funnier than the previous two? We risked our lives to help you hunt for soul rings, so you should at least let us open our eyes a little bit, right?"

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Oscar sighed helplessly: "Then you must promise me not to laugh after listening to this."

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, he took a deep breath, turned his right palm upward, and solemnly recited the ridiculous soul spell:
"I have a mushroom sausage."

"puff--"

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter in the forest, and even Zhao Wuji, who was regulating his breathing, couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing everyone's curiosity, Oscar had to explain: "My third soul skill is the flying mushroom sausage. After eating it, you can fly for one minute, and the speed is equivalent to the flying speed of the Phoenix Tail Cockatoo."

Before he finished speaking, Tang San suddenly stepped forward: "Xiao Ao, give me one."

Oscar was stunned: "Third brother, what are you doing?"

"Don't ask so many questions." Tang San said firmly.

Looking at Tang San's determined eyes, Oscar had no choice but to chant the soul spell: "I have a mushroom sausage." A golden sausage appeared in his hand.

Tang San took the sausage and swallowed it directly, and a pair of transparent wings immediately grew on his back.

"Xiao San, what do you want to do?!" Dai Mubai exclaimed.

Without waiting for anyone to stop him, Tang San flapped his wings and flew towards the direction where Xiao Wu was taken away.

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I must go and save Xiao Wu." He looked extremely anxious on the surface, but in fact he had already made plans in his heart - in his previous life, it was on the way to find Xiao Wu that he encountered the human-faced demon spider with a cultivation of two thousand years. Not only did he obtain the ideal third soul ring, but also the precious external soul bone Eight Spider Lance.

"Third brother, it's too dangerous!" Ning Rongrong stamped her feet anxiously, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower flashed in her palm.

Tang San feigned grief and shook his head: "How could I sit back and watch Xiao Wu being captured?"

The moment he swallowed the mushroom sausage, transparent wings spread out behind Tang San.

"Wait for me!" He shouted and flapped his wings, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly when he turned around.

Under the cover of night, Tang San flew accurately towards the direction he remembered. He was not chasing the Titan Ape, but heading straight for the human-faced demon spider that could give him the Eight Spider Lances.

Huo Yuhao stood in the shadow of the tree, his eyes following Tang San's receding figure.

Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced his mind, causing him to cover his temple involuntarily.

"Uh" he groaned, and a blurry figure appeared in front of him - long pink and blue hair shone in the sun, and the girl's face gradually became clear as she looked back and smiled.

"Dong'er." The name flowed out of his lips uncontrollably.

But then, the picture began to distort, the girl's hair color strangely turned pink, and her face gradually overlapped with the rabbit-eared girl Xiao Wu who had just been kidnapped.

Huo Yuhao staggered back a step and steady himself by holding onto a tree trunk. This inexplicable hallucination made his heart beat faster and cold sweat slid down his forehead.

"What's going on?" He shook his head, trying to dispel the strange scene.

But those eyes that were exactly the same as Xiao Wu's were deeply imprinted in his mind and could not be erased.

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed as he turned to Dugu Bo beside him and whispered, "Old Poisonous Creature, I'll give it a try. When Yanyan wakes up, you can come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly blurred, transforming into a thin, inky black line. The black line flickered a few times under the moonlight, darting through the forest like a leaping star, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared in the direction the Titan Ape had left.

"Wait!" Dugu Bo just raised his hand to stop him, but saw that Huo Yuhao had already gone far away.

He frowned, glanced at Dugu Yan who was still absorbing the spirit ring, and finally sighed helplessly: "This kid..."

The moonlight in the woods was suddenly obscured by a shadow.

Tang San's Purple Demon Pupil suddenly shrank, and a slight rustling sound came to his ears - like the sound of a sharp blade cutting through silk.

He held his breath, and the blue silver grass silently wrapped around his fingers to form a fist glove.

The bushes ahead suddenly parted, and eight long, pitch-black limbs pierced the ground like spears. It was a giant spider, its body gleaming with a metallic sheen. The night dew condensed on its carapace rolled like beads of mercury. When it fully emerged, its three-meter limbs cast a hideous silhouette in the moonlight, and the pale, white facial markings on its abdomen twisted strangely.

"It's here as expected." Tang San sneered.

Memories of his past life flooded back like a tide—it was near this ancient pine tree that the human-faced demon spider gave him the Eight Spider Lance that changed the course of the battle.

But he is no longer the level 30 boy he was back then.

The compound eyes of the human-faced demon spider suddenly glowed purple, and its two forelimbs stabbed out like lightning.

Tang San didn't move, but the fourth spirit ring under his feet suddenly lit up: "Blue Silver Prison Entanglement!"

The thick Blue Silver Emperor vines broke out of the ground and instantly wrapped around the six long legs of the demon spider.

Tang San flipped his right hand, and the pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer was already in his hand.

He clearly remembered that in his previous life, he had shot the second eye of the demon spider on its right abdomen blind.

"Two thousand years of cultivation" Tang San stroked the hammer handle, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Such a soul beast is of no value to him who is about to break through level 50, but the soul bone that may exist
The demon spider suddenly sprayed out a ball of purple-black spider web, and where the slime dripped from the web, the grass and trees withered instantly. However, Tang San leaped into the air as if he had expected it, and the Clear Sky Hammer slammed heavily into the demon spider's carapace with a whistling sound.

"Crack!" The sound of the shell breaking was crisp and pleasant.

The demon spider let out a shrill hiss, and its remaining eyes all turned blood red.

The blue silver grass that was previously entangled suddenly grew wildly, and the sharp leaves pierced into the gaps in the spider's joints.

Amidst the shrill screams, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer fell again, this time directly hitting the grinning human face pattern.

When the demon spider fell to the ground with a bang, Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes stared at its twitching abdomen. The probability of the external soul bone exploding was less than one in a thousand.
"Human-faced Demon Spider." Tang San murmured condescendingly as he stepped on the Man-faced Demon Spider. His voice was filled with deep disgust. He said, "A filthy creature that advances by devouring soul beasts."

"The evil soul beast has already met its end!"

"Today, I will rid the Star Dou Great Forest of you, the evildoers."

Three of the eight long legs of the human-faced demon spider in front of him had been broken, and dark green body fluids continued to seep out of the wounds. It made a shrill squeaking sound, and the hideous human face patterns on its abdomen twisted in pain.

Tang San didn't deliver a fatal blow to it. Instead, he sheathed the Clear Sky Hammer and leaned leisurely against a tree trunk. He flicked his fingertips, and several vines of blue silver grass wrapped around the remaining long legs of the demon spider like spirit snakes, and began to slowly tighten.

"Shout, why don't you scream?" Tang San said softly, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "Let your companions hear it."

As the vines tightened around it, the spider let out a sharper hiss. The sound was particularly piercing in the silent forest, startling birds perched in the distant treetops.

Tang San's ears twitched slightly, keenly catching the rustling sound coming from all around. It was the sound of more long legs scraping through fallen leaves, coming from far away and getting closer and closer, becoming more and more dense.

"One, three, five." He counted silently, the smile on his lips growing deeper and deeper.

The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand reappeared, and a faint black light flickered on the dark hammer.

"Hunting one may not yield any foreign soul bones, but what if there are ten or a hundred?" Thinking of this, Tang San's eyes turned blood red in an instant, and murderous intent suddenly rose throughout his body.

Countless purple spots of light suddenly appeared in the dark forest, and dozens of human-faced demon spiders swarmed in from all directions.

The next second, Tang San sneered, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand suddenly expanded, and dazzling lightning exploded from the black hammer.

"boom!"

When the first hammer came down, the shells of three thousand-year-old demon spiders burst instantly, and dark green body fluids splashed. Every time the hammer shadow passed by, it brought about a bloody storm.
