Chapter 266 The Soul Master of Extreme Pure Strength (Part 2)

When Tang San heard someone call his name, he instinctively replied, "That's me."

"Oh, so it was you, you little brat, who beat my son up like this." Taino had been waiting here all afternoon, and finally found his target. He was furious and reached out his big hand to grab Tang San's shoulder.

Tang San used Ghost Shadow Steps to slide three feet backward, dodging Tai Nuo's large hand. "Are you Tai Long's father?"

Taino proudly declared, "That's right, I am Taino, the Mighty King. You beat my son like this, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Xiao Wu glanced at Tai Long with disdain. "If you hit the kid, the old ones come out. If we hit your dad too, wouldn't your grandpa come out too?"

Tailong was stunned for a moment, and a look of shame immediately appeared in his eyes. "Xiaowu, don't misunderstand. It was my dad who saw the injuries on my body, so he... But if my grandfather really comes, then it will be troublesome."

Tainuo glared at Xiaowu. "Little girl, you're partly to blame for this too. If you hadn't seduced my son, would he have been beaten so badly? You really are a femme fatale. You've already learned how to seduce men at such a young age."

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, "Gorilla, who are you calling seducing men?"

Taino snorted, "Wasn't it you who caused this brat to hit my son? I'll teach you a lesson after I deal with this kid. What's wrong with my son? This kid isn't some pretty boy." As he spoke, he reached out to grab Tang San again.

Tang San wasn't initially angry at Tai Nuo's attack; he could tell that Tai Long wasn't lying, and his father was clearly not someone he had summoned. However, Tai Nuo's insults towards Xiao Wu were unbearable for Tang San. To him, Xiao Wu was his own possession. His eyes instantly turned cold. This time, he didn't dodge. He stepped forward to meet Tai Nuo's attack, his left hand grabbing Tai Nuo's wrist, his right hand pulling at Tai Nuo's elbow joint, unleashing the most domineering bone-dislocating technique in grappling.

Taino was startled when Tang San grabbed his wrist, but his reaction was far superior to Tailong's. He didn't pull his hand back, but let out a low shout, his whole body jolted, and his outstretched hand clenched into a fist, the muscles on his arm suddenly bulging.

Although Tang San's Crane Control and Dragon Capture Skill was exquisite, it was completely useless at this moment. He only felt a strong force coming from his opponent's elbow, which immediately shook his hands away. He used Ghost Shadow Steps to stagger back several steps before barely managing to regain his footing.

Such powerful strength! Tang San felt a chill run down his spine and immediately focused his mind.

"Huh." Taino was somewhat surprised that he hadn't managed to defeat Tang Sanzhen. "No wonder he was able to beat up my son. He does have some skills. I'd like to see how many of my moves you can withstand."

As he spoke, without releasing his martial spirit, he suddenly opened his arms and hugged Tang San around the waist.

From their brief encounter, Tang San knew that the other's strength far surpassed his own; if he were truly grabbed, there would be no way he could break free. However, Tang San wasn't a strength-type Soul Master, so naturally he wouldn't engage in a direct confrontation. With a shift in his footwork, his entire body became ethereal. Although Tailong's speed wasn't slow, his repeated attacks failed to even touch the hem of Tang San's clothes.

"You brat, don't try to run away if you dare!" Taino glared at Tang San, but was inwardly shocked. He had already heard from Tailong that Tang San was a control-type Soul Master with extremely strong close-combat abilities. Through these few tests, although Tang San's strength was far inferior to his, his agility was even higher than his own, even without using his Martial Soul. Catching Tang San like this was clearly not going to be easy.

Tang San didn't answer. A glint flashed in his eyes, and a milky white light emanated from his body. Blue Silver Grass swirled around him, and three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, spiraled upwards, releasing dazzling brilliance.

Taino snorted, "Use your martial soul against me? Fine, I'll see how strong your martial soul is. Mighty Gorilla, possess me." With a loud shout, he suddenly grew five inches taller, accompanied by a series of tearing sounds as his dark muscles ripped his shirt, revealing his steel-like body.

Tailong was already quite strong, but compared to his father, he was still far inferior. What made Tang San's pupils contract slightly was that five spirit rings rose from beneath the feet of this Mighty King, Tailong. Two were yellow, and three were purple. A dazzling light swirled around his body.

In fact, Tang San was unaware that the Tailong family had a very traditional habit: protecting their own. Tailong was also the only son in the family, and when he returned home at noon, Tainuo saw his injuries and naturally couldn't contain his anger and rushed over.

"Kid, scared now? If you're scared, then admit defeat. I'll dismember your limbs first, and then take you to your academy teachers for judgment. I'm a level 58 Strength-type Battle Soul King, think it over. Fists and feet have no eyes, and if I break your legs, then I'm sorry."

Upon releasing his martial soul, Tai Nuo immediately adopted an arrogant demeanor. In his view, he possessed at least twenty levels of soul power higher than his opponent, which would definitely make this kid in front of him easily submit.

But little did he know that Tang San's greatest strength was his resilience; the greater the pressure, the greater the rebound.

"You're Tailong's father, not mine. Come on, fight if you want," Tang San said coldly. He felt a pang of sadness. Other people's sons were being beaten, and their fathers stood up for them. But where was his own father? The more this happened, the stronger his fighting spirit became. As the saying goes, a desperate army is bound to win. At this moment, Tang San's soul power was circulating rapidly, and his overall condition had reached its peak.

"Brother, I'll fight him with you." Seeing that Tai Nuo was actually a Soul King level expert, Xiao Wu hurriedly prepared to release her Martial Soul.

Tang San raised his hand to stop him, saying, "No, I'll do it myself. Don't interfere. This is a matter between men."

"Good," Taino praised. "You may not look very strong, but that's exactly what I like to hear. Yes, this is a matter between men. For that reason alone, I'll go easy on you later."

"No need." Tang San said casually, and then he started to move. He didn't advance, but retreated rapidly, and the Blue Silver Grass released from his body rushed towards Tai Nuo like countless blue-purple snakes.

Tainuo laughed heartily, and like a war chariot, he charged directly towards Tang San, completely ignoring the Blue Silver Grass that was entangling him.

With a series of thuds, the Blue Silver Grass would immediately burst through Taino's strong muscles the moment it wrapped around his body, unable to hold him for even a moment. It should be noted that after Tang San obtained the Human-Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring, his Blue Silver Grass had become extremely resilient.

Furthermore, the forging of his spirit by the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire further enhanced its resilience. This is a key reason why Tang San was not afraid when facing Tai Nuo, a Soul King-level opponent.

However, Tyno's strength was even more terrifying than he had imagined; the resilient Blue Silver Grass could not even make him pause for a moment.

In an instant, Tang San realized that this level 58 Soul King was in no way inferior to Zhao Wuji, the Mighty Vajra Bear Battle Soul Saint, who was known for his strength. Zhao Wuji's soul power was a full level 76.

The knowledge imparted by the master spun rapidly in Tang San's mind. He realized that he had likely encountered a pure strength-type Soul Master. A pure strength-type Soul Master meant that all their Soul Rings were imbued with strength. With great strength, their body would naturally be incredibly strong.

Today, while fighting Tailong, Tang San vaguely noticed this problem: Tailong's physical strength was simply not something a level 30+ Soul Master could possess.

At this moment, Tyno's feelings became even more profound. These blue silver grasses had absolutely no effect on him.

Taino's five spirit rings pulsed rhythmically, the first two rings alternately emitting yellow light. The spirit skills associated with these two rings were power surge and power concentration, respectively.

Alternating between the two methods would increase his already terrifying power by another fifty percent. Combined with his level fifty-eight soul power, this allowed him to completely ignore Tang San's Blue Silver Grass entangling technique.

Tang San possessed immense combat experience. Although facing an opponent whose strength completely overwhelmed him, he remained completely calm. While using his martial soul significantly increased Tai Nuo's speed, Tang San's speed was also amplified by his soul power. It wouldn't be easy for Tai Nuo to catch up with him in the short term.

Tang San simply withdrew his Blue Silver Grass and relied on Ghost Shadow Stalking to deal with his opponent, without rushing to attack.

In a one-on-one battle, one must first understand one's own strengths and weaknesses compared to one's opponent. Taino's strengths are obvious: terrifying strength and resilience. And what are Tang San's own strengths? Tang San knows he has many. Among them, the resilience of the Xuan Tian Gong is one.

Unlike the soul power cultivation in this world, Tang San's superior Taoist mental cultivation technique, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, has a significant advantage in terms of energy recovery. Furthermore, his ability to move around effectively conserve energy compared to an opponent who constantly exerts force; to defeat an opponent, one must first deplete their soul power.

By this time, more and more people were gathering around to watch the battle. Xiao Wu clenched her fists nervously, ready to rush to Tang San's aid at any moment. Meanwhile, Tai Long was completely captivated by the fight between his father and Tang San.
