Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

He had done what he was supposed to do, and the rest was left to Wang Sheng!

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard shouts from behind.

"Ahem, wait a minute..."

Yu Xiaogang finally spoke.

He struggled to his feet, half of his body still numb.

“Ye Hua,” Yu Xiaogang forced a smile, “I am so grateful for your help today.”

"If it weren't for you, my mistress and I would probably be in grave danger. I will remember this kindness."

Ye Hua stopped and turned to look at him, his face expressionless.

You have turned a deaf ear to the kindness shown to you by Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong. How can I expect anything from you?

"You're too kind, Master. It was nothing at all."

"However, before hunting soul beasts next time, you'd better consider your own capabilities. Not everyone will happen to be passing by every time."

Yu Xiaogang's smile froze on his face.

Her newly formed desire to get closer to Ye Hua was abruptly shattered.

Yu Xiaogang sighed regretfully. With innate full soul power and combat strength capable of instantly killing a four-hundred-year-old Mandragora Serpent, this was the perfect experimental subject for his theory!

Once he becomes Ye Hua's teacher, and once Ye Hua becomes a Title Douluo, he will soar to great heights, and those who once looked down on him will be begging him with smiles and tears!

The clearing in the woods remained silent for a long time.

"Teacher..." Tang San's voice was hoarse, "I'm not reconciled."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, walked to his side, and struggled to help him up, letting him sit down against the tree trunk.

"What can I do if I'm not willing to accept it?"

"He stole my spirit ring!"

Tang San suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot. "Teacher, that was a four-hundred-year-old Mandragora Serpent! It was highly compatible with my martial soul! And he just stole it like that!"

"I know," Yu Xiaogang said, closing his eyes.

"Since you knew, why didn't you speak up for me just now? Why did you thank him?"

Yu Xiaogang was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Xiao San, didn't you notice just now? When Ye Hua made his move, the spirit ring that lit up on his body was yellow."

Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted.

Yellow is the symbol of a hundred-year-old soul ring!

The problem is that the Mandragora Serpent's spirit ring existed before he killed the serpent...

Ye Hua already has spirit rings!

He has become a true Soul Master!

"Third Brother, think about it. He hunted down a hundred-year-old soul beast all by himself, and then stood in front of you unharmed. What do you think that means?"

Tang San belatedly realized that a chill ran down his spine, "It means that if he had wanted to kill us just now, we wouldn't have even had a chance to fight back."

“Smart,” Yu Xiaogang nodded. “We are all seriously injured. Let alone a four-hundred-year-old soul beast, we can’t even beat an ordinary person without soul power.”

"But he stole my spirit ring..." Tang San said unwillingly.

“You can find another spirit ring if you lose it, but if you lose your life, you lose everything,” Yu Xiaogang patted his shoulder. “Let’s go, it’s almost dawn.”

"Today is the last day, we have to hurry, we can't delay any longer!"

Tang San didn't say anything more.

He stood up, leaning on his wooden crutch, and followed behind Yu Xiaogang, beginning a careful search.

But he knew in his heart that in their current state, it would be difficult for them to hunt powerful soul beasts again.

And it turned out just as he had predicted.

The master and apprentice wandered around the forest for half a day, encountering enemies that were either too young or too difficult to defeat.

As the sun moved past its zenith, Yu Xiaogang realized that if they spent the night in the forest again, there was absolutely no chance of survival!

He finally stopped, looking at Tang San with a hint of guilt, "Little San..."

As soon as he said that, Tang San exploded!

Chapter 15: A Mother's Obsession, Encountering Robbery on the Road

The master took Tang San back to the thirty-year-old Lonely Bamboo they encountered when they first entered the forest.

"Mistress, let's go with this one."

Tang San followed his gaze and his face instantly turned ashen.

Guzhu, thirty years old.

It's a useless soul beast with no offensive capabilities; even an ordinary woodcutter could cut it down with a wood-chopping knife.

"Teacher..." Tang San trembled all over, "You want me to absorb this?"

“You have no choice,” Yu Xiaogang said firmly. “You can only enter the Soul Hunter Forest once a year. If you miss this opportunity, you’ll have to wait until next year. Can you wait?”

Tang San gripped the wooden crutch tightly with his fingers.

Wait a year?

Can he wait?

Will Ye Hua wait for him?

Will Little Dance be waiting for him?

"I'll inhale."

The two words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

Tang San chopped with his wood-chopping knife, then sat cross-legged in front of the solitary bamboo, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the almost invisible white soul ring.

For Tang San, who was cultivating the Xuan Tian Gong, absorbing the thirty-year soul ring was like a fish in water, and Gu Zhu's resentment was insignificant to him.

But the feeling of soul power entering his body should have been warm, but he only felt cold.

My heart is cold!!!

After absorbing the nutrients, Tang San opened his eyes and raised his right hand.

Countless blue silver grasses sprang up from the ground and entangled the large tree not far away.

Then......

And that was the end of it.

The blue silver vines, along with the Lone Bamboo Soul Ring, merely made the blue silver vines more flexible.

Even when absorbing a spirit ring, the nourishment from his own spirit power was insufficient. Tang San only recovered a little spirit power, and none of his injuries were healed!

With his leg still broken and his arm still fractured, he can't use any of the Mysterious Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow Mystery, or Purple Demon Eye!

“Congratulations, Xiao San,” Yu Xiaogang said insincerely, forcing a smile, “Your first soul skill is a control soul skill, which is quite rare.”

Tang San glanced coldly at Yu Xiaogang without saying a word.

He stared at the ridiculous bamboo in his palm, his mind filled with the golden dragon pattern on Ye Hua's Dragon Staff and the deep yellow soul ring.

gap!

A world of difference!

The master and apprentice silently embarked on their journey home.

They arrived full of ambition, but left dejected and disheveled.

"Xiao San," Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but comfort him, fearing that Tang San would be too devastated and his Dao heart would shatter, leaving him without even an experimental sample, "You have to think positively!"

"Your first spirit ring is indeed important, but it's not everything in your life!"

"Think about it, even if your first spirit ring takes ten years, does that mean your life is over? The potential of innate full spirit power is limitless!"

"As long as your second spirit ring is a hundred years, your third and fourth spirit rings are a thousand years, and your fifth spirit ring is ten thousand years, can't you still keep up with the main group?"

"Besides, I know many Soul Masters. Even if their Soul Ring configurations aren't the best, they can still make a name for themselves!"

With Yu Xiaogang's repeated comforting words, Tang San finally managed to cheer up a little.

“You’re right,” Tang San took a deep breath. “I can’t lose all confidence because of a small setback. I have innate full soul power, I still have a chance!”

Seeing Tang San's complexion improve, the master finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He almost thought that Tang San was about to give up and become despondent!

But at that very moment...

Snapped!

clap clap clap!

Applause rang out from outside the carriage curtain.
