Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 274 Tang San's Fortuitous Encounter

……

With the opening two rounds of a seven-game winning streak, the atmosphere at the scene was brought to a climax. Soon, the third match began, with Shrek Academy facing off against a team from the Kingdom of Sylvester.

The first member of the Shrek Academy team to take the stage was Tang San, a control-type Soul Master.

"That's Tang San? Wait, I don't remember Tang San looking like this."

"Something's definitely not right. Could Shrek Academy have changed their roster?"

"..."

Discussions and comments rang out in the spectator area.

After all, they are this year's dark horse team, and they also have some connections with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so the Heaven Dou royal family pays a lot of attention to Shrek Academy.

In addition, Shrek Academy's unique team uniforms had already been the subject of much discussion during the preliminaries, so Tang San's appearance on the field immediately caused quite a stir.

"Xiao Wu, why has Tang San become so handsome?" Ning Rongrong asked in confusion.

Tang San's appearance used to be very ordinary, but now, his looks have surpassed even an Oscar! His aura has also changed!

"I don't know," Xiao Wu said, a little confused.

"I haven't seen a mistress in a long time."

Hearing the discussions on the stage, Tang San remained calm, but a long-lost excitement welled up inside him.

Soon, the first member of the Sylvester Academy team took the stage. He was also a control-type Soul Master, and his opponent's Martial Soul was also a plant-type Martial Soul, Snake Vine.

Hearing the many girls in the audience discussing Tang San's appearance, the member of the Sylvester Academy team seemed a little annoyed.

"Pretty boy, I'll tear your face to shreds!"

As he spoke, he unleashed his third soul skill, the Serpent Vine. The vines grew rapidly, spreading from the ground and appearing as if a dense swarm of snakes were crawling towards Tang San.

Tang San remained calm, extending his right hand. Thick Blue Silver Grass grew rapidly. He didn't even use his spirit rings; the thick Blue Silver Grass vines formed a barrier in front of him, easily blocking the opponent's third spirit skill.

However, what shocked everyone even more was Tang San's extra fourth spirit ring.

"Soul Sect?"

The crowd gasped again, far more astonished than before at Tang San's appearance.

"Wait... what's going on?" Ning Rongrong was completely bewildered.

"Is this still Blue Silver Grass? And he... has he become a Soul Master?"

Wasn't Tang San only level 36 when the preliminaries ended? Even if he's fast, it's impossible for him to level up four levels so quickly, right?
“Martial Soul Evolution…” Yue Guan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This kid is indeed the offspring of Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor in human form!

"What's going on?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly and asked Xuan Ming telepathically.

"It's the second awakening of a martial soul," Xuanming said.

"Blue Silver Grass has evolved into Blue Silver King."

This fulfilled Da A Yin's wish; the Blue Silver King did help Tang San complete the second awakening of his martial soul, though not completely.

As for the surge in soul power level, that was the work of the Ice Dragon King.

To avoid any accidents, when Tang San underwent his second awakening, the Ice Dragon King used the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone as a catalyst to burn away the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within Tang San.

Although this burning briefly granted him a leap in soul power, it also completely exhausted the Blue Silver Grass's potential to evolve into an emperor.

A portion of the extracted Blue Silver Emperor bloodline was given to the Blue Silver King, while the remainder was infused into Ah Yin, greatly accelerating her recovery.

Xuanming stayed in the Blue Silver Forest for a long time to watch over Ah Yin as she digested this power. With the help of the Blue Silver King and his thousands of subjects, she has recovered to a cultivation level of over 70,000 years.

Tang San obtained the evolution of his martial soul, a surge in soul power, and a fourth soul ring that could grow.

Ah Yin is one step closer to resurrection.

It can be considered a happy ending for everyone.

Shrek Academy wins!

With the Blue Silver King Martial Soul and having reached the Soul Master realm, Tang San's strength increased greatly. He didn't even use his third and fourth Soul Skills, and easily completed the battle against the seven members of the Silvers Academy with just his first Soul Skill.

In the first round of the qualifying tournament, he won all seven of his first three matches, which is unprecedented.

"Young mistress, how come you've suddenly become so amazing?"

"Third Young Master, your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has suddenly become so strong, it's completely different from before."

"..."

As they stepped off the field, Shrek Academy's team members surrounded them.

Tang San only returned to the academy yesterday. At first, they didn't recognize him. It was only after Grandmaster spoke up that they dared to believe that this handsome guy was the same Tang San who had been plain-looking before.

"Just lucky," Tang San said calmly.

“You’re not just lucky. I feel like I might not even be your match now,” Dai Mubai said.

Tang San's evolved spirit is completely different from his previous weak Blue Silver Grass spirit!
In terms of quality, it is already on par with his White Tiger Martial Soul, belonging to the top-grade among high-level Martial Souls, approaching the level of top-tier Martial Souls like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.

"Xiao Gang, what's going on?" Liu Erlong couldn't help but ask.

"How did Tang San's martial soul and soul power suddenly become like this?"

"It must be some kind of opportunity for the mistress." Although Yu Xiaogang also had many doubts in his heart, he could only give such a vague response in front of everyone at this moment.

Tang Hao took Tang San away and disappeared for almost a month. He didn't know what had happened to Tang San.

"A stroke of luck?" Liu Erlong raised an eyebrow, clearly not entirely satisfied with this explanation, but she didn't press further. Instead, she changed the subject, "Then what happened when you disappeared for several days? Where did you go?"

"I... have some personal matters to attend to." Yu Xiaogang's eyes looked somewhat unnatural, and he was unwilling to say more.

Seeing this, Liu Erlong became even more suspicious. "You didn't go to see that woman, did you?"

Flander had already told her about Tang San's background, and she also knew about Tang San's twin martial souls. At present, the only person in Douluo Continent who knows the most about twin martial souls is that woman from the Spirit Hall!

"Erlong!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes turned cold. "Don't mention her again. I have nothing to do with her anymore!"

Meeting Yu Xiaogang's cold gaze, Liu Erlong felt a little flustered; it was the first time she had ever seen Yu Xiaogang like this.

Oscar sidled up to Tang San and said with a grin, "Little San, tell us quickly, where did this good fortune come from? Did you meet some peerless master who taught you some unique secret technique?"

Tang San smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "There are no peerless masters, it's just that I was lucky and got some opportunities by chance."

Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat and said, "Alright, everyone, stop crowding around here. Although Xiao San has made a new breakthrough, there's still a long competition ahead. We can't let our guard down. Watch the competition carefully and observe your opponents."

After hearing the master's words, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective positions to adjust their state.

Tang San returned to the rest area with the others, but his mind was filled with many thoughts.

He didn't want to dwell on this topic too much, partly because he himself wasn't quite sure either.

After his martial soul evolved, his father took him into the Blue Silver Forest to question the Blue Silver King about why his martial soul had only reached this level.

The Blue Silver King's response was that there would only be one Blue Silver Emperor in this world.

After that, his father's emotions became very strange.

He always felt that there was a bigger secret about his martial spirit, but his father was reluctant to tell him.

The first round of the qualifying tournament ended quickly. There were many things worth discussing today, especially the group including Dugu Yan who managed to defeat seven opponents in a row. Among them, Tang San was the one who attracted the most attention.

After all, Tang San's martial soul and soul power were completely different in the previous preliminaries compared to now. It is truly unbelievable that he has achieved such a huge improvement in just one month.

"Congratulations, mistress."

At the Shrek Academy's rest camp, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong came to visit Tang San.

Xiao Wu is a carefree person by nature, and she has long forgotten her previous anger. Ning Rongrong only has a lot of opinions about Yu Xiaogang and Dai Mubai, but she always maintains a friendly attitude towards Tang San.

After all, both Tang San's identity and his hidden weapons were worthy of her attention.

Because of the Jade Crown incident, Tang San still had dealings with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School regarding hidden weapons, and her father hoped to conduct more transactions with Tang San in the future.

Upon seeing Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu arrive, Dai Mubai, who was sitting by the campfire, clenched his fists but said nothing. He simply got up and walked away silently.

Tang San stood up, looking at Xiao Wu somewhat nervously, "Xiao Wu, are you... still angry with me?"

"Angry? No, I'm not," Xiao Wu said.

"I just can't stand him, we're still good friends."

"I see." Tang San breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao San, how come you suddenly became so handsome?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

"Did you also eat some kind of magical herb?"

The Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle Strengthening Pill that Zhu Zhuqing took previously made her more beautiful and gave her a better figure.

Tang San's changes and the improvement in his soul power could only be attributed to that.

"I..." Tang San paused.

"If it's inconvenient to say, then don't. I was just asking casually," Ning Rongrong said.

Tang San nodded. "Is there... something you need?"

"Just came to see you. What, you've become so handsome you don't recognize your old friends anymore?" Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow.

"By the way, how about I introduce you to a girlfriend?"

"No need." Tang San quickly interrupted the topic, glancing at Xiao Wu somewhat guiltily.

Ning Rongrong naturally noticed Tang San's gaze, but unfortunately, Xiao Wu didn't have those feelings for Tang San.

"Alright, besides coming to see you, we also have something we want to tell you about tomorrow's match," Ning Rongrong said.

"You know the result, right?"

Tang San's expression was somewhat grave. "I understand."

Shrek Academy versus Royal Fighting Team!

"Brother Xuanming asked us to come and ask you if you'll accept his challenge to a match tomorrow," Ning Rongrong said.

"If you accept, then tomorrow it will be just the two of you fighting."

Tang San was taken aback. "He wants to fight me?"

"Yes, he's very interested in your evolved martial soul and says he wants to see your full power," Ning Rongrong said.

"You haven't actually fought him before, have you?"

"Don't worry, he said he'll stop short of a fight. He won't go too far and it won't affect your later matches."

Upon hearing this, the Shrek Academy members around him looked somewhat uneasy, and Tang San clenched his fists. "I need to discuss this matter with everyone."

"Mistress, I support you!" Oscar was the first to rush forward.

"Third Brother, I support you too!" Ma Hongjun followed closely behind.

Since they can't beat Xuanming anyway, rather than going on stage to be humiliated or lose face, it's better to do it this way: they can compete and save face at the same time.

"Xiao San, you decide this match." Yu Xiaogang also came out of the tent.

Anyway, Shrek Academy doesn't plan to play against the Royal Fighting Team.

Other teams might be spared from trouble if they face Xuanming because he's in a good mood, but Shrek Academy, especially Dai Mubai, will inevitably suffer heavy losses once they take the stage!
Tang San was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I agree. I'll give it my all in a fight against him."

"However, I also hope that he can take this game seriously."

"Seriously?" Ning Rongrong was slightly taken aback.

"Okay...okay, I'll tell him."

Does Xuanming need to be serious?
No, are you getting all high and mighty?
