Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen Approaching

Chapter 62 Tang San: Evil Soul Beast! Become my soul ring obediently! (Together)

In the northeast corner of Nottingham, the Soul Hunter Forest appears mysterious and serene under the morning light.

This vast forest, meticulously managed by the Heaven Dou Empire, has become an ideal place for raising soul beasts.

The trees are towering, and the ancient trees are scattered. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Yu Xiaogang looked serious; today he was going to give Tang San a special training session.

The morning air was slightly cool as he led Tang San on their journey to the Soul Hunting Forest.

With his innate full soul power, Tang San's choice to find a suitable soul ring here is undoubtedly the best one.

Passing through the gate of the Soul Hunter Forest, a bustling city comes into view.

Soul Masters from all over the world gathered here, exchanging experiences or recruiting teammates, preparing to enter the forest together to hunt soul beasts.

The place was bustling with noise and incredibly lively.

"Hunting agile soul beasts! Seven people awaiting orders! Ten gold soul coins per person!"

The shouts rose and fell, like the cries of vendors in a market.

The Soul Masters who were recruiting teammates all had worried looks in their eyes, and the weapons in their hands gleamed with a cold light, revealing their concerns.

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San weaved through the crowd, their ears constantly ringing with the sounds of transactions, arguments, and laughter.

In this bustling city, all sorts of items that can help hunt soul beasts are on display, dazzling the eye.

Tang San watched all this with curiosity, his heart filled with anticipation for the upcoming training.

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, looked confident. He knew that here, Tang San would take an important step towards becoming a strongman!

At this moment, the sharp cries of vendors and the sounds of bargaining still echoed at the entrance to the Soul Hunter Forest, sounding particularly jarring in the morning air.

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly. He knew that these voices must be unfamiliar and confusing to Tang San, who was new to the area.

Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat and, in a calm and confident tone, began to explain everything to Tang San:

"These people are all here for profit; the Soul Master group is often closely linked to wealth."

"They team up here to hunt soul beasts together in hopes of obtaining more soul rings and soul bones, which are valuable resources for improving their strength."

He turned to look at Tang San, his eyes revealing a deep expectation:

"Mistress, you need to understand that these temporary groups are mostly formed for profit, and they will disband when the profit is gone."

"They're not a real team. What you need to find in the future is a real team, a team you can trust with your back."

Yu Xiaogang's tone became serious, as if he were giving an important lecture:

"Remember, a perfect team is not only about complementary skills among its members, but more importantly, about trust and tacit understanding. Only such a team can unleash power that transcends the individual at crucial moments."

Tang San listened intently, his eyes gleaming with understanding and comprehension. He nodded repeatedly, as if memorizing every word Yu Xiaogang had said:

"Yes, yes, teacher, I will definitely pay attention in the future! I will find a team like that, a team I can trust with all my might!"

After all, he would allow himself to stab others in the back, but he would absolutely not allow others to stab him in the back!

Tang San, the future God King Tang, possesses a unique double standard and hypocrisy in his personality.

Therefore! He might stop at nothing to survive and win, but in his world, betrayal and backstabbing are absolutely intolerable. His principles are like his insidious hidden weapons, sharp and ruthless.

He gently stroked the soul tool given to him by the master at his waist—the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, an exquisitely crafted storage soul tool with ingenious design.

Tang San can store his deadly hidden weapons here. This soul tool is not only his talisman, but also an extension of his killer nature.

After all, he was originally an assassin and was used to using concealed weapons. He was practically born with the skill to injure people in the shadows and stab them in the back!

At this moment, Tang San's state of mind, like this soul tool, was complex and profound.

Just as he suspected, he had been an assassin, skilled in concealed weapons, and was not only adept at but also deeply aware of the terrifying nature of attacks from behind.

He knew all too well how unsettling it was to entrust his back to an unreliable and untrustworthy person! It was like walking in the dark, where he could encounter a fatal crisis at any moment.

At this moment, his eyes were already filled with anticipation for the perfect team that would be able to lend him a helping hand in the future!

He thought that he was a chosen one, and his teammates must be of great value to him.

He secretly imagined that these teammates would not only fight alongside him, but also play a significant role in his path to godhood. Their abilities, wisdom, and resources would be the stepping stones to his ascent to the top.

He imagined how, under his leadership, this team would sweep away all obstacles and leave their own legend on the Douluo Continent.

And he himself would grow into the invincible Tang God King in the process. All of this made his anticipation even more fervent and eager.

As he was thinking this, Tang San became very excited. His heart was filled with a greedy longing for the future, and his eyes revealed his desire for a perfect team.

However, the surrounding noise was like a bucket of cold water, relentlessly shattering his beautiful fantasies. He frowned, extremely impatient with the constant shouts and calls!

He looked around impatiently at the people who kept shouting to form teams to hunt soul beasts, and felt disgusted. They were actually using the noble profession of soul master to do such a thing for profit.

He considers himself a righteous man, and his goal is to become stronger, not for personal glory, but to make the world a better place.

In his mind, a Soul Master should be responsible and should protect the innocent, not kill indiscriminately for profit.

In his view, these people were definitely indiscriminate in their dealings with spirit beasts, maliciously forming teams to indiscriminately kill innocent creatures! They were practically courting death!!

A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and his purple pupils revealed an undeniable killing intent.

He followed behind Yu Xiaogang, appearing calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. His gaze swept over the fierce-looking soul masters one by one; in his eyes, every one of them looked vicious and wicked.

He cursed these people's actions in his heart, believing that they had gone astray and that their behavior was undoubtedly courting their own destruction.

Tang San clenched his fists, suppressing his anger. He knew that now was not the time; he needed more power to gain a foothold in this world and to change the phenomena he disapproved of.

Tang San was immersed in his contempt for those Soul Masters who lived only for profit. His eyes were full of disdain, as if their behavior was a challenge to his beliefs.

However, at this very moment,

Suddenly!

His gaze suddenly froze on an inconspicuous corner in the distance.

There seemed to be a figure there, a figure that made his heart race and was almost reflexively familiar to him.

Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, and his attention shot towards that direction like a sharp arrow.

But just as he was about to take a closer look, the figure vanished into thin air like a wisp of smoke.

Tang San's eyes widened, and fear surged through his body like a tidal wave.

That feeling was just like the fear he felt a few months ago when he was powerless against that person and could only let the other person beat him up.

That person's name echoed in his mind, haunting him like a nightmare.

A person's name! A tree's shadow!

It's a blade! ? ?

His mind was instantly filled with a jumble of thoughts, his brain rapidly analyzing every possibility:

"No, no, it can't be him!!"

"He's been missing for over a month, almost two. Even old Jack has given up looking for him, which means he can't possibly still be here."

"I must have seen wrong."

Tang San's self-consolation was like a murmur, "Given his crazy personality, he must have messed with someone he shouldn't have and got dealt with."

"Yes, that must be it." He tried to convince himself of this deduction.

"How infuriating!! Yu Xiaogang had completely forgotten about him, why am I still thinking about that persistent madman??"

Tang San took a deep breath and figured that he was probably still feeling unwell because he had been beaten up by Xiao Wu the night before. The fight had left him sore all over and he had been tossing and turning all night, unable to fall asleep. That was probably why he was seeing things.

Tang San withdrew his gaze, shook himself, and gently shook his head, as if trying to shake off the chaotic thoughts and the feeling of exhaustion.

His clothes rustled with his movements, as if encouraging him and reminding him to concentrate.

Tang San's eyes regained their somber and resolute expression; he could no longer allow these pointless distractions to affect his state of mind.

Trying to clear my head, I quickly followed Yu Xiaogang's steps, eager to enter the Soul Hunting Forest and hunt down the evil soul beasts!

Become even stronger!!

On the other side, in the shade of a towering tree, a figure stood quietly.

He gently held a sword in his hands; the blade was mottled, as if it had recorded countless stories. This was the Fragmented Sword in his hands.

His back rested gently against the tree trunk, as if he had become one with the tree, quietly waiting for something.

This figure was Ren. As time passed, he slowly opened his eyes.

Those blood-red eyes were like bottomless ancient wells, deep and mysterious.

A gentle breeze blew by, lightly ruffling the bangs that were covering his eyes, revealing his handsome and imposing profile.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling his face and highlighting his striking features, making him appear even more handsome.

His lips curled up slightly, a smile that was both excited and wicked, as if he were filled with anticipation for what was about to happen.

His eyes gleamed with an indescribable light, a longing for the great show that was about to unfold.

"This is really making me anxious," Blade muttered to himself, a hint of mockery in his voice, as if he was annoyed by someone's lateness.

"It's been so long since you got here."

His words revealed a long-awaited excitement, like a hunter whose prey has finally appeared in his sight after a long wait.

"The drama in the script has begun."

"hehe."

Blade's tone carried an air of absolute confidence, and his eyes sharpened, as if he could already foresee the unfolding events under his control.

As he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him seemed to become tense.

Blade leaned forward slightly, his hands holding the broken sword, and with an almost imperceptible flash, he moved.

In an instant, the tall and slender figure disappeared from the spot.

quickly,

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang stood at the entrance of the Soul Hunter Forest.

This is the entrance to the forest, a forbidden place in the hearts of many Soul Masters, for it leads to a world full of danger and opportunity.

At the gate, the guards stood ready, dressed in uniform and carrying sharp weapons, their eyes revealing an inviolable authority.

Entering the Soul Hunter Forest is no easy feat. Strict regulations govern its entry; every entrant must possess a certificate issued by the Spirit Hall to prove their identity and strength.

In addition, guarantees from at least three nobles are required, which is a double test of the entrant's background and credibility.

Yu Xiaogang, a figure hailed as a master, is backed by the powerful Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, and he himself has a past with Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall.

For him, entering the Soul Hunter Forest was naturally not difficult. Entering this place wasn't something that could be done casually, was it?

After all, not everyone has the identity of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects, or the experience of toying with Bibi Dong, the Queen of the Spirit Hall.

Soon, Yu Xiaogang explained the conditions for entering the Soul Hunting Forest to Tang San. Then, he took out a shiny token from his pocket, which was a warrant from the Spirit Hall.

Tang San looked at the sign, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Yu Xiaogang pointed to the various symbols on the sign, explaining their meanings to Tang San one by one; every detail represented the authority and power of the Spirit Hall.

This intimidated the little rascal again, and Gangzi explained to him what the markings on them meant.

This also made Tang San realize that the strongest person on the continent, a Title Douluo, had arrived!

Tang San, who had just been startled by the figure that resembled a blade flashing by, now had his eyes filled with excitement.

His heart seemed to be ignited, imagining the day he would become a Title Douluo, and that the madman blade who terrified him would be like an ant, completely at his mercy.

A surge of unprecedented pleasure welled up in Tang San's heart. He didn't even intend to kill Ren directly, but planned to treat Ren like a slave after he became incredibly powerful, in order to repay the pain and humiliation he had suffered over the past few months.

This thought filled Tang San with immense pleasure; he could almost see the blade bowing and scraping at his feet.

Before long, Yu Xiaogang noticed Tang San's dazed look and nodded in satisfaction.

He was secretly pleased with himself, feeling a great sense of accomplishment that he could use the prestige of a Title Douluo to intimidate this genius disciple.

He knew that Tang San had extraordinary talent, and with a little guidance, his future achievements would be limitless.

Yu Xiaogang imagined that this investment would definitely be a huge success.

Tang San is not only a disciple he favors, but also an indispensable part of his future plans.

He seemed to have already seen it: in the near future, Tang San would become his trump card, helping him achieve those grand goals hidden deep in his heart.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but smile slightly; he was full of anticipation for the future.

Soon, Yu Xiaogang turned his head and said to Tang San with a firm gaze, "Let's go. Once we enter the forest, you must stay by my side the whole time. This place is fraught with danger and should not be underestimated."

Although Yu Xiaogang's tone was full of confidence, he was not as calm as he appeared.

He himself was only a level 29 Great Soul Master, and to take Tang San, who was only level 10, deep into the perilous Soul Hunting Forest, he had to admit that there was a considerable element of gambling involved.

However, Yu Xiaogang had his own plans. His greatest skill was escaping. If he really encountered a powerful enemy that he couldn't defeat, he would take the opportunity to teach Tang San some escape techniques, which would also be a gain.

Tang San was completely unaware of Yu Xiaogang's ulterior motives; he simply nodded excitedly.

His eyes gleamed with a thirst for power, and he was filled with anticipation for the adventure that was about to begin.

He had only one thought in his mind: to become stronger, strong enough to defeat those evil soul beasts and turn them into stepping stones for his growth.

"Evil spirit beast, obediently become my spirit ring, Tang San!!"

Tang San silently recited to himself, his fists clenched, as if he couldn't wait to throw himself into the upcoming battle, to prove his strength, and to win his own glory.

His steps were firm, closely following Yu Xiaogang, and the two of them stepped into the depths of the Soul Hunter Forest, beginning their hunting journey.
