The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 127 The Origin of the Second Martial Soul

With permission from the people inside, Tang Yuehua pushed open the door, gave Tang San a wink, and then went in first.

The moment Tang San stepped into the room, he was immediately drawn to the imposing figure behind the desk.

He was over two meters tall, with a broad back and thick waist, a chiseled face, and short, graying hair.

He was also dressed in simple gray clothes, but as he sat there, he seemed to be the very core of the castle.

Tang San's first reaction was that this gray-clad strong man not only had a voice that was seven-tenths similar to his father's, but also looked remarkably alike.

However, the burly man in gray looked a few years younger than his father, whose face was full of vicissitudes. This man was his father's elder brother, Tang Xiao, and his uncle.

Just as Tang San was wondering about this, Tang Xiao's piercing eyes fixed on him.

Tang Yuehua gave Tang San a wink, and Tang San immediately understood. He knelt down and respectfully bowed, saying, "Tang San greets the Sect Master."

"Tang San?" Tang Xiao, sitting behind the desk, frowned. "When did the Clear Sky Sect acquire someone like you? Yuehua, what's going on?"

"Big brother. Tang San is Hao Ge's son."

"What did you say?" Tang Xiao's fierce gaze softened instantly, even revealing a hint of surprise in his eyes. "He's Hao's son? So, he is too?"

Before Tang Xiao could finish speaking, Tang Yuehua nodded sadly.

When Tang Xiao looked at Tang San again, he had completely lost his previous seriousness and instead appeared more kind and gentle. In a flash, he disappeared from behind the desk and reappeared in front of Tang San.

"Child, get up quickly!" Tang Xiao reached out to help Tang San up.

Tang San said respectfully, "Thank you, Sect Master."

"No. There are only the three of us here. Child, call me Uncle!" Tang Xiao looked Tang San up and down as if he were looking at his own child.

A surge of emotion welled up in Tang San's heart. For the first time in this world, he felt a sense of family, and his voice trembled slightly as he said, "Uncle!"

Upon hearing this address, Tang Xiao suddenly pulled Tang San into his arms. "Child. I'm so sorry you had to suffer outside. Is your father alright?"

"Father, he's dead," Tang San said with difficulty.

Tang Xiao pushed Tang San away, his pupils contracting, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "What did you say?"

"Big brother, Brother Hao has been killed..." Tang Yuehua was already sobbing uncontrollably, looking at Tang San, her whole body trembling violently.

"No. That's impossible."

Tang Xiao seemed like the kind of person who would never shed a tear, but upon hearing this devastating news, tears instantly welled up in his eyes. He stared at Tang Yuehua in disbelief, asking, "What happened?"

Much later.

After learning from Tang Yuehua and Tang San that Tang Hao had been killed by Dugu Bo, a terrifying aura of soul power suddenly erupted from Tang Xiao's body, and the sadness in his eyes was replaced by anger and killing intent.

Not only was his younger brother killed, but his body was also crushed to ashes, and his entire set of six soul bones was stolen. If this grudge is not avenged, how can the Haotian Sect save face?

"Dugu Bo. You bastard Dugu Bo! You killed my brother Hao! One day, I will make your Dugu family pay for this in blood!"

Tang Xiao suppressed all his anger and hatred, painfully closing his eyes. He hated himself for not acting impulsively as the leader of a sect, and he hated even more that Dugu Bo would be so cruel to his own brother for the sake of the soul bone.

"My child, I'm sorry. The Haotian Sect is currently in a period of seclusion, with three of our elders in retreat. Although I am the sect leader, I cannot act arbitrarily. The Haotian Sect has already faced annihilation because of Brother Hao; we cannot allow the entire sect to be destroyed because of me."

Tang Xiao cried. He was filled with resentment, helplessness, sadness, anger, and hatred. Coupled with the responsibility of being the sect leader, all the negative emotions weighed on him, causing hot tears to slide down his cheeks.

Tang San could feel the pressure and predicament of his uncle. Unable to avenge his father immediately, he could only clench his fists in hatred.

"Xiao San. Is that what your father calls you?" Tang Xiao asked.

Tang San nodded.

"Child, don't worry," Tang Xiao assured him. "Once the Haotian Sect emerges from seclusion, no matter how much the elders object, the first thing I'll do is seek revenge on Dugu Bo. He killed my brother Hao, I'll kill his granddaughter, along with his so-called grandson-in-law. I'll make his entire family pay the price with my brother Hao!"

"Thank you, Uncle." That was all Tang San could say. He knew he couldn't put any more pressure on his uncle.

Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is wary of Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, let alone the Haotian School, which is currently severely weakened and has not yet recovered.

"Uncle, do you know anything about my mother?" Tang San suddenly asked.

Tang Xiao's gaze gradually calmed down. "Yes. Your mother's name is A Yin. She is not human, but a Blue Silver Grass Soul Beast. A Yin is a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor who has taken human form."

Upon hearing this, Tang San was stunned, his eyes filled with shock.

He had only recently learned about the concept of a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforming into a human from Xiao Wu.

Why did the Titan Ape kidnap Xiao Wu?

Why are both Dugu Bo and Bone Douluo targeting Xiao Wu?

It turns out that Xiao Wu is a soul beast that has transformed into a human after 100,000 years. Because the transformation period is the easiest to control, those titled Douluo powerhouses coveted Xiao Wu in order to obtain her 100,000-year soul ring and 100,000-year soul bone.

When Tang San heard Xiao Wu tell him her secret in person, he finally understood that the Titan Giant Ape was on his side, and that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was helping him only to bestow favors and to better control Xiao Wu.

After figuring this out, Tang San sent Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Great Forest to cultivate with the Titan Giant Ape, while he and his aunt returned to the Clear Sky Sect.

Once they both have the strength to protect each other, they will then go to find one another.

This is a promise I made to Xiao Wu.

Now that he hears that his mother, like Xiao Wu, is a 100,000-year-old soul beast who has transformed into a human, how could Tang San not be shocked?

"So my Blue Silver Grass martial soul comes from my mother." Tang San released the Blue Silver Grass in his right hand, a complex emotion rising in his eyes. "Uncle, could you tell me the story of my father and mother?"

"Yes, child, you have the right to know all this."

Tang Xiao looked twenty years older in an instant, his face filled with vicissitudes and sorrow. "Your father was expelled from the Haotian Sect because of your mother, A Yin. You know, I never thought your father did anything wrong. If A Yin had chosen me back then, perhaps I would have done the same thing as your father, or even more drastic."

Ten minutes later.

After listening to his father and mother's story, Tang San released his Blue Silver Grass martial soul in his right hand, then withdrew it into his body before releasing his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul in his left hand.

He never imagined that his Blue Silver Grass could be born together with the top-tier weapon spirit Clear Sky Hammer because it was not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but the Blue Silver Emperor, which had just not yet awakened its true form.

"Little San, no matter what others say, I don't want your father's matter to become a burden for you. Stay in the sect. After you attach nine spirit rings to your Blue Silver Grass martial soul, your uncle will personally guide you in cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer. From now on, serving the sect is your duty. Avenging your father is also your duty!"

After listening to Tang Xiao's explanation, Tang San knelt on one knee and said gratefully, "Yes, Uncle. Thank you for allowing me to return to my ancestral home. Whether for my father or for the Clear Sky Sect, I will cultivate diligently. From now on, I will never allow anyone to harm my family again!"

"Child, I'm sorry you had to go through this." Tang Xiao helped Tang San up and said, "Besides my approval, you also need the consent of the seven elders to be recognized as a member of the clan. I will summon the elders who are not in seclusion later, and I hope you can pass their test."

"Uncle, thank you for reminding me. I will do my best in front of the elders and will not let you down!" Tang San replied, his eyes filled with determination.

In order to have a safe place to improve his strength and to gain the power to command a sect in the future, he must acknowledge his ancestors and return to his clan.

Haotian Sect was his hope for revenge against Xia Liang and Dugu Bo.

Sunset Forest, near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Right at the boundary between the ice spring and the fire spring, there grows a clump of blue-gold grass with a diameter of one meter.

The latest chapter of this novel is available on the first release page. Please go and read it there!

This is a Blue Silver Emperor seedling planted near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for half a year. Nourished by the surrounding ice and fire spiritual energy, the Blue Silver Emperor seedling has not only changed from a blade of grass to a grass pile with a diameter of one meter, but its cultivation level has also increased from fifty years to five hundred years.

Currently, Shiny Gastly is searching for the Dark Demon God Tiger near the Star Dou Great Forest with a large number of Gastly and blackish-purple Will-O-Wisp. If there is any news, Shiny Gastly will send a message through the source of the alternate dimension.

During the time he was waiting for good news, Xia Liang either went to the secret chamber of the palace to practice his martial soul fusion technique with Qian Renxue, or stayed at the Dugu Mansion or the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to cultivate with Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, or went alone to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to check on the growth of the Blue Silver Emperor Grass.

In order to help the Blue Silver Emperor Grass pile break through to the thousand-year cultivation level more quickly, Xia Liang came up with a solution: to use his own blood to nourish the Blue Silver Emperor Grass pile.

When I absorbed the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor before, a portion of the Blue Silver Emperor's energy had already completely fused with the two great immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, making it undoubtedly the best supplement for the Blue Silver Emperor's grass pile.

Sure enough, as the blood dripped down, the pile of Blue Silver Emperor Grass in front of him immediately emitted a layer of adorable blue light, and the grass leaves grew rapidly—even faster than when he first came into contact with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Seeing the Blue Silver Emperor Grass growing rapidly, Xia Liang was overjoyed and continued to squeeze more blood from his cut wrist, splattering it onto the grass blades of the Blue Silver Emperor Grass.

He wouldn't lose too much blood on his own, because the healing ability of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone could quickly restore his lost blood.

The process of cutting your wrist to let it bleed will cause pain.

However, for a Soul Master, this pain is nothing at all.

The Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul will soon possess a true Martial Soul form, completing the Bone-Transformed Susanoo's final form.

After obtaining the eighth and ninth spirit rings, you can begin cultivating your second spirit.

This pile of Blue Silver Emperor Grass is the source of the second martial soul.

According to the description in Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, when the million-year-old soul beast Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sacrificed itself to Huo Yuhao, it did not give Huo Yuhao a million-year-old soul bone, but it did give Huo Yuhao a brand new martial soul.

If this method is used to obtain a second martial soul, the Blue Silver Emperor Grass Pile would need to be cultivated into a million-year-old soul beast.

Currently, the Blue Silver Emperor Grass Mound only has a cultivation level of five hundred years, which is still far from a million years.

Unless one grows by devouring like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it is undoubtedly more difficult to cultivate the Blue Silver Emperor Grass Pile to a million years in a short period of time than to create one's own godhood.

The Blue Silver Emperor Grass Pile does not have the Devouring attribute, so it is destined that it cannot quickly improve cultivation level through devouring.

However, things can be accomplished by human effort.

Blue Silver Grass with the Devouring attribute appeared in the novel *Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect*.

It was precisely because of such examples that Xia Liang decided to cultivate the Blue Silver Emperor as his second martial soul source.

If the Blue Silver Emperor mutates to possess the dark devouring attribute, it can grow rapidly by devouring corpses and undead, just like the Red-Eyed Treant King did back then.

Xia Liang had two purposes in using his own blood to feed the Blue Silver Emperor Grass.

The first objective is to accelerate the growth of the Blue Silver Emperor grass pile by utilizing the energy of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone and the energy of ice and fire contained in the blood.

The second objective is to use the dark energy contained in the blood to nourish the Blue Silver King Grass Pile, thereby promoting the mutation of a devouring ability related to the dark attribute.

In the novel "Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect", Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass martial soul mutated into Dark Blue Silver Grass due to hatred, gaining the Devouring attribute.

Xia Liang felt he could copy Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass martial soul mutation path and fill the Blue Silver Emperor Grass pile with hatred for someone.

Previously, he had modified the soul of the Blue Silver Emperor's haystack, making Tang Hao the enemy of the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.

While nourishing the Blue Silver Emperor Grass with dark energy, we can also take advantage of the stimulation from this hatred towards Tang Hao, which should make it easier for the Blue Silver Emperor Grass to mutate into a dark attribute.

half a month later.

As usual, Xia Liang came to the Blue Silver Emperor Grass pile, cut his wrist, and as blood splattered onto the grass leaves, a strange scene unfolded.

In the Blue Silver King grass pile, each blue-gold leaf intertwines to form vines.

Countless blue-silver vines spread outwards along the ground like a spider web, instantly covering a radius of three meters.

Xia Liang instantly teleported five meters away, making room for the changes in the Blue Silver Emperor Grass Pile.

The very next second after he left, all the blue-silver vines that covered the ground like a spider web rose up from the ground, first rotating clockwise inward, then intertwining and closing together, the surging life force turning the water mist near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes blue-gold.

After the blue-gold light dissipated, what Xia Liang saw was no longer a pile of blue-silver king grass, but a giant cocoon completely entwined with blue-gold vines. A faint golden light emanated from the giant cocoon, causing all the plants that had taken root and sprouted around it to grow an inch taller.

Looking at the giant cocoon of the Blue Silver Emperor in front of him, Xia Liang smiled. After being fed blood for half a month, the Blue Silver Emperor grass pile finally broke through from five hundred years to a thousand years of cultivation, which is why it changed its form.
