Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Chapter 56 Showing Off One's Edge

"Haha, Xiao Yuhao has already obtained a spirit ring, now it's finally my turn. It's time to obtain a thousand-year spirit ring and experience the wonderful feeling of the Spirit Master realm."

With the help of two top geniuses, Lin Yao and Bei Bei, to hunt for spirit rings, Tang Ya's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she thought she had a thousand-year spirit ring in the bag.

Her cheeks puffed up slightly, like a cute little squirrel, and she smacked her lips, trying to liven up the atmosphere with a touch of excitement.

At this moment, sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled patterns of light onto Tang Ya, making her appear even more adorable.

Looking at Tang Ya's adorable appearance, Huo Yuhao smiled gently, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes. However, as if he had thought of something, a shadow crossed his eyes, and his longing vanished.

He has more important things to do now; he doesn't deserve or have the right to yearn for such a wonderful thing.

On the other side, Beibei shook her head helplessly, but a gentle smile remained on her lips.

As Lin Yao looked at the group of adorable Tang Ya, his appreciation for them deepened, and his gaze softened.

As a result, the atmosphere within the team became more relaxed.

Of course, since this time we need to obtain a millennium soul ring, and to obtain it as soon as possible, we need to venture deeper into the outer area.

The four searched between the outer and mixed areas, the fallen leaves under their feet making a "rustling" sound, startling a few colorful little insects that hurriedly fled into the depths of the grass.

Although Lin Yao has his current trump cards, plus the possible methods that Mu En may have left on Bei Bei, he has the confidence to go deep into the mixed zone.

However, unless absolutely necessary, neither of them wanted to provoke the numerous ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the mixed zone.

Just imagining the sheer number of those terrifying ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and even the possibility of attracting even older soul beasts, is enough to send shivers down one's spine.

So they kept a safe distance and carefully searched for the soul beast, with everyone on high alert, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings.

On the way to search, Lin Yao's powerful mental energy spread out like an invisible net, meticulously covering a large area around him.

Its powerful mental energy probed the surrounding area, searching for suitable soul beasts.

Soon, Lin Yao's eyes lit up, because he found a target not far away, a target that was more suitable for Tang Ya than the original Mandala Snake.

He immediately stopped, turned slightly to the side, and whispered to Tang Ya, "Senior Tang Ya, I've found a suitable spirit beast for you. It's more suitable for your spirit beast Blue Silver Grass than the animal-type spirit beasts you just mentioned, such as the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the Cave Demon Spider, and the Mandragora Snake."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya was taken aback for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She then quickly asked, leaning forward unconsciously, her tone full of curiosity, "Junior Brother Lin Yao, what kind of soul beast could earn such high praise from you?"

Lin Yao smiled, a confident expression on his face, his tone relaxed yet certain: "The Mandala Flower, with a cultivation level roughly between 1,200 and 1,600 years, is very suitable for your martial soul, Blue Silver Grass."

"Datura flowers? That's certainly a good choice."

A smile appeared on Tang Ya's fair face. She clapped her hands lightly, looking quite pleased.

However, behind that smile, a fleeting hint of regret flashed in his eyes, as quickly as a pebble thrown into a lake, creating only a tiny ripple before disappearing completely.

For thousands of years, especially after the Tang Sect gradually declined, the sect no longer insisted on the Blue Silver Grass supplement plan that Yu Xiaogang prepared for Tang San.

Although their ancestor Tang San's Blue Silver Grass from ten thousand years ago could have had its potential unleashed by adding plant-type soul beasts according to normal theory, it seems that adding animal-type soul beasts with toxins and various special effects is also a good idea.

After all, Tang San eventually became a god, and deducing from the result, it seems that this was the best soul ring combination for Blue Silver Grass.

Unfortunately, after persisting for thousands of years, the main lineage of the Tang Sect, the Blue Silver Grass lineage, has become increasingly weak. This is because the addition of animal-type spirit beast spirit rings has actually weakened the potential of the spirits of their descendants.

Is it true that they made a mistake, or that the rumors about Yu Xiaogang's theories, which have been tested by various forces over the past ten thousand years, being full of errors?

Of course, none of that matters now.

So, hundreds of years ago, another wave of change emerged among the higher-ups of the Tang Sect, which changed everything and began to add plant-type soul beasts, gradually increasing their potential.

Tang Ya's own potential is greater than that of his ancestors and even his father in terms of innate soul power.

However, the problems were deeply entrenched and difficult to reverse. Although there had been some progress, it was just a matter of time. But the covetous forces at that time were not giving them any more time.

If Lin Yao knew what Tang Ya was thinking at this moment, he would surely understand why Tang Ya was able to possess the Dark Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul in the original work, with potential second only to the Blue Silver Emperor.

Although the Tang Clan has been gradually weakening, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. It is on the right track and has had time to accumulate strength, so it has been effective.

First, there is the condition of adding plant-type soul beasts to Blue Silver Grass to gradually increase its potential, purify the residual genes of some mixed animal-type soul beasts, and optimize the offspring.

In addition, Tang Ya, the last remaining member of the Tang Clan, possessed a certain amount of luck, which allowed her to blossom and shine brilliantly for a moment.

Unfortunately, Tang Shenwang was extremely ruthless towards his own descendants, not to mention that Tang Ya's lineage, who had no blood relation to him, held power in the Tang Clan.

Destroying and rebuilding the Tang Sect, helping them gradually take control of the Douluo Continent, and turning the Douluo Continent into the Tang Family Continent—that is the former's greatest purpose.

Soon the group headed towards the location of the datura flower.

The sunlight was increasingly blocked by the denser branches and leaves, and the light became dim. The surrounding air also seemed to carry a faint, sweet fragrance.

A thousand-year-old datura flower appeared before everyone's eyes. It was six meters long and its whole body exuded a bewitching, almost eerie purple color. The edges of its petals were tinged with scarlet, as if it had been soaked in blood.

Its powerful vitality emanates from its roots, stems, and leaves, intertwining with a faint, alluring yet subtly dangerous fragrance, creating an extremely strong sense of aggression.

At this moment, Beibei's face was solemn, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Although he was already a Soul Master level expert, he could easily be defeated if he wasn't careful when facing a thousand-year-old Soul Beast like the Mandala Flower, which had made a name for itself despite being a plant-type Soul Beast.

In particular, the Datura flower can attract the Datura snake for protection through its own characteristics. In this case, it is very likely that you will be facing two thousand-year-old soul beasts, so you have to be careful.

Beibei's self-illumination was fixed on the datura flower, his eyes filled with vigilance. At the same time, he glanced at Lin Yao almost imperceptibly.

He saw that Lin Yao's expression was calm, as if the thousand-year-old soul beast in front of him was just an ordinary thing, and the powerful spiritual energy that Lin Yao was emanating from was even more puzzling to him.

This junior brother Lin Yao's martial soul is clearly a top-tier weapon martial soul spear, but his mental strength is unusually strong, which is very strange.

The spear, the king of weapons, isn't most of its soul skills offensive? It seems there's also a soul skill for perception.

As for Lin Yao's own spiritual power being so strong that its release was no less effective than the spiritual skills released by a Soul Master or even a Soul King, Bei Bei dared not make such a guess.

However, as his senior and the main force in helping Xiaoya obtain her spirit ring, Lin Yao doesn't need to take action unless absolutely necessary.

So, Beibei took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself, and then said in a deep voice, "Xiaoya, you look after Yuhao. Junior Brother Lin Yao, I'll make the first move."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bei Bei immediately summoned the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul. A dazzling blue light burst out from his body, and the surrounding area was instantly wrapped with shining blue-purple arcs of electricity. The "buzzing" sound of electricity was particularly clear in the silent forest.

The electric arc flickered and danced, then coiled around his right arm, where faint, dragon-like scales appeared, radiating a powerful aura.

Then, the first soul ring, which had been around for a hundred years, suddenly shone brightly, and a strong wave of soul power spread out like ripples on water, causing the air to tremble slightly as if stirred by this power.

Instantly, the electric arcs on Beibei's right arm became even more intense and violent, forming a giant dragon claw made of condensed lightning.

Each claw on the dragon's claw gleamed with a chilling light, tearing through the air with a sharp sound as it viciously grabbed at the datura flower.

As a plant-type soul beast, the datura flower, though inconvenient to move, possesses extremely strong soul power and, being rooted in the ground, enjoys the support of the earth.

As soon as Beibei launched its attack, its thick, thorny branches, as if alive, suddenly burst forth from all sides, slapping at Beibei with a whistling sound.

That's not all; a datura snake was also wrapped around one of the branches.

The body of the Datura snake is a bewitching purple, similar to that of the Datura flower, and its scales shimmer with a cold luster in the dim light.

It flicked its tongue, its scarlet snake eyes fixed on Beibei, filled with hostility.

The two worked in perfect harmony, rushing towards Beibei together with great momentum.

Seeing this, Beibei's face turned serious, his eyes sharpened, but he did not retreat but advanced.

He used the Tang Clan's footwork technique, Ghostly Shadow Tracking, his figure flashing and moving like a ghost, weaving through the gaps in the branches and the attacks of the Mandala Snake.

Then, seizing the fleeting opening to dodge the attack, she leaned forward and, like an arrow released from a bow, attacked the main body of the datura flower.

At the same time, the second spirit ring on his right arm lit up. The spirit ring shone brightly, and countless electric snakes enlarged and twisted at the same time, making a crisp "crack" sound, turning into sharp lightning arrows that flashed in the air.

These lightning arrows, densely packed, instantly intertwined into a net of thunder, carrying a destructive aura as they enveloped the datura flower.

The previous Thunder Dragon Claw was only meant to make the mandala flower move and to lure out the mandala snake hidden within it.

The electric net formed by the second soul skill, Thunderous Might, is Bei Bei's true killing move. Combined with Thunderous Dragon Claw, if it hits the main body of the Mandala Flower, it will surely severely injure it, thus making an example of it and scaring away the Mandala Snake.

However, the datura flower and the datura snake work together very well, without any slack.

As the electric grid approached, both reacted almost simultaneously, releasing a sweet-smelling toxic gas.

The poisonous gas, pale purple in color, spread out like smoke, forming a pincer movement as it surged towards the lightning electric grid.

The dense electric grid formed by the thunderous force was attacked by the poisonous gas condensed from the soul power. The electric arcs collided with the poisonous gas, making a "sizzling" sound and wisps of black smoke.

The power grid became somewhat chaotic, with flickering electric arcs, no longer possessing its previous integrity and imposing presence.

On the other side, Lin Yao led Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao back a distance. He stretched out his arm to form a soul power barrier, gently blocking Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao to prevent them from being poisoned.

Huo Yuhao followed closely behind Tang Ya, his face full of tension, but his eyes were curious as he watched the battle ahead.

Tang Ya looked at the battlefield with worry, her hands unconsciously twisting together. She sighed inwardly, thinking that the Datura flower was indeed not so easy to hunt; there were actually two soul beasts among them.

After breaking the electric net formed by the blue-purple lightning power, the mandala flower and the mandala snake worked together even more closely.

One used a branch, which was like a flexible whip, striking with a whooshing sound.

With a flick of its body, the datura serpent shot out like an arrow. The two clashed and struck, shattering the thunderous electric net.

At the same time, the residual force that shattered the electric grid did not diminish. Like a wild horse that had broken free, it also shattered the lightning dragon claw formed by the lightning soul power, exploding in the air with a blue-purple afterglow of lightning.

Of course, although the two thousand-year-old soul beasts seemed to have easily broken through Bei Bei's two soul skills, that was not actually the case.

The blue-purple lightning power of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex exerted a strong suppression on the two soul beasts. The domineering power contained in the lightning caused the branches and leaves of the Mandragora flower to show scorched marks, and the body of the Mandragora snake also trembled slightly.

As they were broken open, they also suffered a significant recoil, causing their bodies to stiffen briefly and making it impossible for them to continue with subsequent attacks.

Lin Yao saw that Bei Bei indeed lacked combat experience. As a Soul Master with a top-tier martial soul, he failed to fully utilize his advantages when facing two well-coordinated thousand-year-old soul beasts, making it difficult to quickly resolve the battle.

He wasn't going to waste any time. He said to Tang Ya in a calm voice, which carried a reassuring power: "Senior Tang Ya, be careful. I'll join in too."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya looked at Lin Yao with concern, her brows furrowed and her eyes filled with worry. She quickly said, "Lin Yao, you're only a quasi-Soul Master right now. Facing a thousand-year-old Soul Beast must be quite stressful, right? This—"

Although Lin Yao dealt with the Golden-spotted Peacock swiftly and decisively, it was only a hundred-year-old soul beast, and it was not even in the same league as a thousand-year-old soul beast.

Especially since there are two thousand-year-old soul beasts. If it's one-on-one, given time, Beibei should be able to take down one of them, but Tang Ya isn't sure if Lin Yao can hold off the other one.

At this moment, Tang Ya felt somewhat unwilling. Her Blue Silver Grass was so weak in combat, especially her first two spirit rings. After the massacre of her family, she lost her faith. The only way to find solace was to follow in the footsteps of her ancestors and, like Tang San's ancestor, add the Mandragora Snake and the Ghost Vine.

However, this results in weak combat power. It is okay to deal with soul beasts under a thousand years old, but it is easy to become a burden when facing soul beasts over a thousand years old.

Lin Yao could roughly guess at the worry and subtle resentment in Tang Ya's words, and then a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Senior Tang Ya, don't worry, I will definitely help you absorb this datura flower smoothly."

After speaking, Lin Yao's entire demeanor suddenly changed. His previous gentleness disappeared, replaced by a sharp and piercing aura.

The air around him seemed to freeze, and a powerful aura emanated from him, spreading outwards.

He immediately summoned the Soul-Destroying Spear Martial Soul, the spear body shimmering with a cold, eerie light, as if it contained the power to devour everything.

Lin Yao's two ten-thousand-year soul rings were still too astonishing, and he had no intention of using them.

Without mastering something similar to a simulated soul skill, or possessing the power to ensure his own safety, Lin Yao needs to hold back for the time being.

Of course, even without using his soul skills, he was confident he could take care of these two thousand-year-old soul beasts.

The powerful soul force, like a surging river, poured into the Soul-Destroying Spear, causing the spear to instantly burst forth with dazzling light, as if it were about to tear apart the space before it.

Taking advantage of the opening created by the two soul beasts fighting with Bei Bei, Lin Yao unleashed an enhanced version of the Nine Yin Manual's footwork.

His figure moved so fast that only a blur remained, and he arrived behind the two soul beasts in an instant, like lightning.

He used the most basic marksmanship, without any fancy techniques, just a simple thrust, yet it was sharp and terrifying.

Wherever the spear tip passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound, as if even space itself was affected by this single shot.

Tang Ya heard a faint voice from Lin Yao. The voice was slightly masked by the noise of the battle, but it still reached her ears clearly.

She quickly looked toward the source of the screech and saw the young man wielding a silver spear thrust out with incredible speed, precisely striking the weak spot that the two soul beasts had momentarily exposed.

When their weakness is struck, both the datura flower and the datura snake emit painful hissing sounds, filled with disbelief and extreme agony.

The petals of the datura flower trembled violently, its originally vibrant purple color dimmed, and its branches and leaves drooped limply.

The datura snake's body twisted, its scarlet eyes filled with terror as it tried to escape, but it was firmly locked in place by that terrifying power, and its body was being destroyed.

Seeing this, Bei Bei was shocked. She suddenly felt that her Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul was somewhat flashy compared to Lin Yao's clean and decisive Soul Extinction Spear. It didn't seem like a top-level beast martial soul with a long history at all.

Despite being a veteran Soul Master, poised to reach the Soul Grandmaster realm soon, his performance was inferior to that of a junior who was only a quasi-Soul Master. This—

Huo Yuhao, who was being protected at the very back by Tang Ya, couldn't help but swallow hard as he watched this scene, his eyes filled with longing.

If I possessed such talent and power, perhaps everything would change —

On the other side, Tang Ya's beautiful eyes were also filled with shock. She opened her mouth, but could not make a sound. She could only stare blankly at Lin Yao.

Are thousand-year-old soul beasts so easy to deal with?!

Of course, she also understood that Lin Yao's move this time, though seemingly simple, was actually extremely valuable. He seized the opening with lightning speed and then severely injured both soul beasts with a single blow.

His combat talent is terrifyingly high.

Of course, what Tang Ya didn't know was that Lin Yao was able to defeat the two soul beasts so quickly without using his soul rings. It wasn't just that he hit their weak points, but also the powerful characteristics of his Soul-Destroying Spear.

The force with which the spear tip pierced the body was extremely powerful, but what was most terrifying was the terrifying mental damage inflicted by Lin Yao's spear.

That extreme power to destroy souls was like an invisible blade, piercing straight into the soul beast's spiritual sea.

If Lin Yao hadn't been holding back, he probably would have killed both of those soul beasts long ago.

Even so, Lin Yao's shot severely damaged the spiritual sea of ​​the Mandala Flower, causing its originally powerful vitality to slowly dissipate and its aura to become extremely weak.

Meanwhile, the Mandala Serpent on the other side was also suppressed by this soul-destroying power, its body involuntarily collapsing to the ground, leaving only a faint breath.
