Douluo Continent: If the system had arrived ten thousand years earlier, I would have crushed Tang Sa

Chapter 252 Dai Mubai: Could Xiao Tian be an Evil Soul Master? Ma Hongjun's Sudden Change?! (Two-in-One)

Shrek Academy Hotel.

Only then did everyone calm down and look at Tang San. Dai Mubai asked, "Little San, what exactly happened? That's why your appearance changed after you came back, and why you don't even use your Blue Silver Grass spirit anymore. Can you tell us?"

Oscar chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, you little mistress, tell us what's going on. We might not be able to help much, but we'll definitely be on your side."

Tang San sighed and then briefly recounted his departure during that time.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt indignant on Tang San's behalf, especially Dai Mubai.

"Xiao San, Xiao Tian has gone too far. Not only did he steal my fiancée, but he also stole the person you like. He even had Ning Rongrong target Xiao Ao, and now he's not even letting your mother go! I think he's deliberately messing with us. I don't know what methods he used to make your mother strip away your bloodline in order to restore her cultivation."

Dai Mubai felt that everything he did had gone very wrong since he met Xiao Tian, ​​and he could empathize with Tang San.

Suddenly, Dai Mubai thought of something and tentatively asked, "Little San, since your mother could extract your bloodline to enhance her cultivation, and since she became Xiao Tian's soul spirit, Xiao Tian should also be able to use her abilities. Do you think he might have used this ability to increase his strength so rapidly?"

Boom!

Everyone present fell silent for a moment.

"Mu Bai, don't talk nonsense. Since Xiao Tian has three 100,000-year soul spirits, he must have at least three 100,000-year soul bones. The improvement of a 100,000-year soul bone is enormous. Your idea of ​​calling him an evil soul master (a fallen one) and then letting the Spirit Hall deal with him is untenable."

After a long silence, Flander spoke first.

He was always shrewd and knew what Dai Mubai's intentions were, but it was hard to say whether Xiao Tian had used this ability. The three 100,000-year-old soul bones had at least given Xiao Tian a 20-level increase in soul power.

No wonder Xiao Tian's strength improved so quickly. If you take away the boost from the soul bone, he would probably only be around level 40, and his soul power would be even less than that of Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu.

Flander thought he had guessed very accurately, but he overlooked one point: he didn't know that Xiao Tian's soul power was increasing rapidly, and that Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong and the others also experienced a small burst of soul power in a short period of time.

Qian Renxue was quite attentive to them at the time, so she was aware of this.

Dai Mubai clicked his tongue and said nothing more, because he knew that what Flander said was true.

But soon after, he still said unwillingly, "Dean, although Xiao Tian may not have used this ability before, it doesn't mean he won't use it in the future. This is an ability that can absorb the life force of others to improve one's own cultivation. Just think about it, if there was someone like this around you, wouldn't you be afraid?"

Dai Mubai overlooked one point: if it weren't for Xiao Tian, ​​Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would have awakened into the Blue Silver Emperor, and he would very likely have possessed this ability.

This time, it was Yu Xiaogang who spoke up: "Enough, Mu Bai! What we need to do now is prepare for the afternoon's match and see what strategy can win. The reason why Xiao San's mother can absorb his bloodline is largely because of the same bloodline. She can absorb the life force of her clan to replenish herself, also because they are from the same clan. So far, there has never been a Blue Silver Emperor or a first-level Blue Silver King martial soul with the ability to devour."

Yu Xiaogang never expected that such a person would actually appear ten thousand years later. Since awakening her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, her Blue Silver Grass has acquired a unique characteristic: it can devour life force to enhance its own cultivation.

That person was Tang Ya, the sect leader of the Tang Clan ten thousand years later!

The Blue Silver Grass she awakened was not ordinary Blue Silver Grass; it could be described as a mutation, Dark Blue Silver Grass!

Since the Blue Silver Grass can undergo such a mutation, it at least proves that Dai Mubai was actually right by accident.

Mutations don't happen for no reason; they must be related to something else. Just like Ma Hongju's transformation from a pheasant to a phoenix, they can be considered the same kind, except that the pheasant and the phoenix are quite far apart in terms of their "generation".

Blue Silver Grass does indeed possess the ability to devour life force, but it can only devour its own kind. Therefore, it makes sense that Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass mutated to devour objects with life force to enhance its cultivation.

It's just that it's not ten thousand years from now, otherwise even if Ah Yin did nothing, she would probably be labeled as an evil spirit master.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and asked, "Xiao San, what are your thoughts on the afternoon's match? Our original plan was that the Heaven Dou Royal Team might want to conserve their strength and make the same choice as us, so we could face them and then use the Five-in-One Fusion Technique."

"But now it seems I miscalculated. Xiao Tian's strength far exceeded our expectations. Even if our team of seven were to fight him one, we would most likely still be no match, let alone in a seven-on-seven team match."

Yu Xiaogang also sighed.

If Xiao Tian didn't have the three domain skills, they might still have a 20-30% chance of winning, but the domain's suppression of them is enormous. The original 20-30% chance has now become almost zero.

The reason for saying "high probability" is that I don't want to make everyone lose confidence, but in fact everyone present knows that no matter what, they will not be a match for the Heavenly Dou Royal Team.

Flander comforted him, saying, "Xiao Gang, it's not your fault. Xiao Tian is too monstrous, and his mind is exceptionally sharp. Who could have known that he had three hundred-thousand-year-old soul spirits assisting him?"

Yu Xiaogang sighed and looked at Tang San: "Now we are going to face the Spirit Hall team. Before Qian Renxue uses her Spirit True Body, if we use the Five-in-One Fusion Technique, with your Clear Sky True Body and Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, we might be able to wipe out a lot of the Spirit Hall team in an instant. But this move can only be used once."

"If you use it a second time in a short period of time, your mental strength will not be able to withstand it and you will collapse. Secondly, when this move is used, none of the five of you can move. Once the opponent becomes vigilant and tries to sabotage it, the Five-in-One Fusion Technique will not be usable."

"In other words, even if we win the next match, we will still lose the team competition tomorrow. If we don't win the championship and get those three soul bones, then the difference between what the second and third place teams get is not that much."

"The most crucial point is that your Clear Sky Hammer has now been exposed. After the competition ends, given the grudges between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, they might target you, and your father might not be able to protect you."

Yu Xiaogang's expression immediately turned serious.

He knew Tang Hao was probably hiding in the shadows, but he still said it anyway.

Because besides the Spirit Hall, if Tang Hao were to show his face, Xiao Tian might also take action against him. If the two sides were to clash, Tang Hao's hidden injuries would not have healed yet, and he would only be level 95. How could he possibly be a match for the Spirit Hall and Dugu Bo and others from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Tang San pondered deeply. Indeed, according to Yu Xiaogang's analysis, even if they won the match this afternoon by sheer luck, they would still lose tomorrow.

But! He still wanted to give it his all, even if it was just winning the afternoon's match, he still had his pride.

He wanted to show his mother and father how he won the competition using the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit!

Moreover, after the competition, his father said he would take him to the City of Slaughter for training, and after the training was over and he obtained the God of Slaughter Domain, he would send him back to the Haotian Sect.

If he backs down and the people of Haotian Sect find out, how can he learn the Ring Explosion and the Great Sumeru Hammer if he doesn't get the approval of the sect leader and the elders?

These two secret techniques are the most powerful in the Haotian Sect. Now that he has lost his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, he must obtain these two secret techniques!

"Fight!" Tang San glanced at his teammates, then looked at Yu Xiaogang with unwavering determination. "Teacher, the people of Shrek Academy will never back down! Even if we lose, I will fight this last match!"

"Good! That's my good son!"

In an instant, a figure draped in a black cloak appeared in the room—it was Tang Hao!

"Father!" Tang San's eyes lit up slightly when he saw Tang Hao appear.

"Greetings, Your Majesty Haotian!" The people present greeted Tang Hao respectfully.

Tang Hao nodded expressionlessly, then looked at Tang San and said, "Little San, since you want to fight, then give it your all! Even if you lose, you should let the Spirit Hall know that your Clear Sky Hammer is no joke!"

"Our Clear Sky Hammer spirit is best at defeating the strong with the weak. Back when I had just become a Title Douluo, I still managed to defeat three Title Douluos in one fell swoop, even when facing numerous experts from the Spirit Hall. Qian Xunji was even seriously injured and died. Your current situation isn't even as bad as it was back then!"

Tang Hao calmly encouraged, "As for my hidden injuries, don't worry. If anyone from the Spirit Hall dares to attack you, they'll have to ask if the Clear Sky Hammer in my hand will allow it!"

Tang San said with a worried expression, "Father, but your hidden injuries prevent you from using your full strength."

Tang Hao said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. I've had this hidden injury for so many years, I'm used to it. It's not like I can't use the Exploding Ring and the Great Sumeru Hammer now, don't worry!"

Tang Hao can still use the Soul Ring Detonation Technique, but last time, just detonating three Soul Rings of the lowest age caused his old injuries to flare up again, and he even bled slightly from his mouth.

If he were to unleash a full-power combination of Ring Explosion, Weapon Soul True Form, and Great Sumeru Hammer this time, he would indeed be fine for a short period of time.

Because I was forcing myself to stay awake

But once the battle is over, it will be far more than just a period of weakness. Having used all his strength, he will be unable to suppress the hidden injuries in his body. The backlash he will suffer will be more than just a serious injury!

Even if a miracle does occur and he survives, he probably won't have much time left. Like Tang Chen's brief moment of lucidity in the original story, his life force will quickly dissipate.

If that's the case, why did Tang Hao still dare to do it?

Besides genuinely wanting Tang San and the Clear Sky Hammer to become famous on the continent, there was another important reason: he suddenly heard a strange yet familiar voice in his mind. His grandfather, Tang Chen, a demigod-level expert and the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter, was rushing towards this place at an extremely fast speed!

The reason Tang Hao found the voice familiar was because he had vaguely heard it once when he was being chased by the Spirit Hall, but no similar voice appeared for a long time afterward, so it felt unfamiliar to him.

But now it has happened a second time, and it's very clear!

When that voice came, he could feel a slight disturbance in the Killing God Domain within his body, which made him certain that the voice was not deceiving him.

His grandfather had been missing for so long, yet he had become the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter. No wonder when he was training in the City of Slaughter, he felt a vague sense of familiarity with the King of Slaughter, and sometimes his gaze would fall on his own martial spirit.

At first, he thought that the reason he cared so much was because it was the first time he had witnessed the power of the Clear Sky Hammer.

It seems he guessed wrong back then, because Tang Chen is his grandfather, and he has a natural affinity for the Clear Sky Hammer.

However, what puzzled Tang Hao was why his grandfather didn't acknowledge him back then.

Could it be that becoming the King of Slaughter will temporarily cause one to lose their memories?

Tang Hao couldn't figure it out, so he decided to ask him in person when the time came.

As long as his grandfather appears, even if he is seriously injured by using all his strength, it will be fine. Since he is already a demigod, he must have a way to find a powerful healing-type soul master to heal him.

If the Clear Sky Sect doesn't have it, then let's go with the Spirit Hall!

Doesn't the Spirit Hall want its branch halls in various places to be destroyed for no reason afterward?

Tang Hao thought to himself.

In his view, he was Tang San's backer, but Tang Chen was Tang San and also his biggest backer!

Back then, it was his grandfather who defied all opposition and passed on the secret techniques of the Haotian Sect to him ahead of schedule, along with his complete set of soul bones.

Generally speaking, even if his talent far surpasses that of his older brother Tang Xiao, he shouldn't act this way. It would generate too much controversy and could very likely cause discord between the brothers.

However, Tang Chen defied all opposition and was designated as the successor to the sect leader ahead of time. He also passed on the things he needed to Tang Chen in advance, which enabled Tang Chen to be able to handle the pursuit of the Spirit Hall with such ease.

I really have to thank my grandfather for all of this!

Just then, Ma Hongjun, who had been silent until now, spoke, but his tone was extremely gloomy and low. A faint black aura seemed to emanate from him, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was twisted as he looked at everyone, saying, "You say that since the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python have become Xiao Tian's soul spirits, it means their relationship wasn't actually bad before. So, the attack we encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest shouldn't be considered an accident, right? Third Brother's Eight Spider Lances were pulled out, causing his cultivation to decline, but luckily, he recently obtained another one. But!"

Ma Hongjun's voice suddenly rose considerably: "My 'thing' with the master has just disappeared like that, and it will never grow back. The master is too old to use it anymore, but how old am I? So many wonderful things are waiting for me in the future, but I have already become a eunuch!"

"Isn't the point of striving to become stronger to have a better life? Yes, 'there' has disappeared, and I can indeed concentrate more on my cultivation, and my cultivation speed has increased a lot, but what is the point? Even if I become a Title Douluo, or even a Peerless Douluo, so what?"

I'm a useless person now. Before, I could comfort myself by thinking it was just an accident, that I was just unlucky. But now? This was definitely premeditated! Why did they do this to me?! I just like beautiful women, is that wrong?!

Ma Hongjun became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and the black aura emanating from his body grew ever stronger.
