Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 42 Second Soul Skill: Positive and Negative Buffs

Is the Wood Spirit Mushroom devouring the essence of the Demon Eye Tree?

Tang San glanced back at the bound Nine-Section Jade and thought to himself, "The Nine-Section Jade is devouring the life force of the Wood Spirit Mushroom, and in order to survive, the Wood Spirit Mushroom is forced to begin devouring the essence of the Demon Eye Tree, causing it to acquire the characteristics of the Demon Eye Tree."

"In that case, this Wood Spirit Mushroom should have mutated into a Wood Spirit Demon Mushroom."

"Regarding the soul skill, it should still grant my Blue Silver Grass martial soul the ability to release seeds, but will the effect still be an amplification?"

"The Demon Eye Tree, a plant-type soul beast, has extremely strong vitality, but its most prominent feature is its demon eye, which can trap soul masters and other soul beasts in an illusion. If I inherit this ability, then my second soul skill should, in theory, reduce the opponent's mental strength, or even reverse the effect of the Wood Spirit Mushroom, turning it into a negative buff?"

After thinking for a while, Tang San decided to absorb the spirit ring of the Wood Spirit Mushroom, since it could weaken the opponent and was a decent spirit skill.

The buff effect can be considered after the third soul ring.

For his Blue Silver Grass, strengthening its vitality is the most crucial thing. Moreover, the Wood Spirit Mushroom can absorb the life essence of the Demon Eye Tree, which will definitely increase the absorption of the earth's power by his first soul skill.

So Tang San plucked the Wood Spirit Mushroom from the trunk of the Demon Eye Tree.

The Wood Spirit Mushroom, a type of spirit beast, will die once it leaves its symbiotic plant spirit beast, even if it mutates into a Wood Spirit Demon Mushroom.

Looking at the purple spirit ring, Tang San took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, adjusted his state, and then drew it over, thinking to himself, "Come on, my second spirit ring."

When the purple spirit ring was placed on the Blue Silver Grass, Tang San felt a surge of immense energy flowing from the Blue Silver Grass into his body, as if it were about to burst his entire body.

Tang San immediately activated his Mysterious Heaven Skill to control the chaotic energy, using his soul power to bind it and slowly refine it.

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tang San's muscles, which had swelled up, had returned to their original shape. She complained, "Really, did you have to take such a risk? You made me worry... Hmm, Third Brother's hair seems to have grown longer again, with more blue and silver parts, and the lines of his face seem softer too."

"Could it be that he'll become even more handsome every time he absorbs a spirit ring? If I could sense his spirit beast aura, this guy would be more like a spirit beast than me."

Two hours later, Tang San finally finished absorbing the spirit ring and opened his eyes. His originally black pupils had turned slightly silver, giving him an elegant (and perhaps hypocritical) air.

"Level 22 Soul Power, not bad." Tang San sensed the state of his Soul Power and showed delight. He then looked at Xiao Wu, who was staring at him in a daze, waved his hand in front of her, and laughed, "What? Are you captivated by my handsome face?"

Xiao Wu blushed, spat, and snorted, "Narcissistic? I won't be charmed by you."

"hehe."

Tang San chuckled twice, then stopped teasing Xiao Wu and began to explain the changes that had occurred to his Blue Silver Grass after he absorbed his second spirit ring.

"My Blue Silver Grass has become more lush, with more silver veins and a stronger vitality."

After saying that, Tang San unleashed the Endless Grassland, causing the roots of the Blue Silver Grass to penetrate even deeper, covering an area of ​​nearly fifty meters in radius and depth, and drawing upon the power of the earth even more efficiently.

In addition, being bound by Blue Silver Grass is no longer a necessary condition when using the Soul Skill Endless Recovery. As long as you are in the Endless Grassland, you can receive recovery at any time.

Moreover, thanks to the evolution brought about by absorbing the second spirit ring, Tang San can mark his teammates, allowing only them to enjoy the healing effect, while the enemies can only be entangled by the Blue Silver Grass in the Endless Grassland.

Xiao Wu felt a refreshing sensation throughout her body as she experienced the effects of Tang San's first soul skill. After recovering from the shock, she asked, "What is your second soul skill?"

"The effect of my second spirit ring's skill is beyond my expectations. It can both buff our side and weaken the enemy; I call it: positive and negative buffs." Tang San didn't keep them in suspense. "Would you like to try it?"

Xiao Wu nodded: "Okay, but what does 'buff' mean?"

"It means enhancement."

After Tang San finished explaining, he first used the positive buff effect.

Xiao Wu carefully observed the Blue Silver Grassland and found that the Blue Silver Grass did not change except when it was blown by the wind. Just as she was about to ask a question, she found herself excited, as if she had inexhaustible strength, especially her soul power, which she felt increased the most, by more than 20%.

Then, at Tang San's request, Xiao Wu started running, and her speed was 20% faster than usual.

Then came the strength test, which involved hammering a tree. The damage caused was five times stronger than before, proving that the attack had also been enhanced, but the pain was reduced by 20%.

Xiao Wu's martial soul doesn't have any special energy, so she can only judge that Tang San's positive buff can increase her soul power, speed, strength, defense, and attack by more than 20%.

As for attribute enhancement, Tang San personally tested it and found that the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul's vitality increased by 22%.

Therefore, his positive buff enabled him to utilize all the amplification skills of the first six spirit rings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

What does it mean to defy the heavens?

This is.

However, compared to the amplification method of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the positive buff of Blue Silver Grass is obtained by the Soul Master inhaling the invisible Blue Silver Grass seeds. When the wind is strong, the effect will be reduced. After all, the trajectory of the seeds made by Blue Silver Grass floating in the air is beyond his current mental power to control.

The only thing you can do is mark your teammates with your soul power so that only they can enjoy the buff.

Then, Tang San used a negative buff, and Xiao Wu immediately felt listless, with all her abilities reduced by more than 20%.

After Tang San put away the Endless Grassland, Xiao Wu was still under a negative buff, and it wasn't until half an hour later that she returned to normal.

"Are you just going to watch me suffer from this negative buff?" Xiao Wu asked with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"Well, I had to test how long the negative buff lasted." Tang Sanqian chuckled, handing over a water bottle, somewhat embarrassed. "This negative buff doesn't work on me, but the positive buff does."

Xiao Wu took the water bottle, drank some water, and said, "Your second soul skill is incredibly powerful. It buffs our side and weakens the enemy. Once your soul power increases, the percentages of both the buffs and the weakening effects can be increased. Won't we be able to easily defeat the enemy?"

"I just tried it out, and this soul skill actually has some drawbacks. I need to set up the Endless Grassland first to achieve the best effect. In addition, it can be affected by strong winds, positive and negative buffs cannot be used at the same time. I also need to mark my teammates' soul power first so that they can receive the positive buff and avoid being affected by the negative buff." Tang San explained the drawbacks of this soul skill.

"That's already pretty good, isn't it?"

Xiao Wu complained, "Even if we don't buff our side, weakening the enemy is still very advantageous to us. Once you become a Title Douluo, all of the enemy's attributes will be weakened by 90%, so we might as well just make them commit suicide."
