In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 190 Third Brother, my heart will always belong to you!

"Yes, teacher!"

Can I also have a fourth spirit ring that lasts for ten thousand years? Suppressing his excitement, Tang San strode forward.

He quickly arrived in front of the corpse of the Thousand-Pound Ant King, sat down cross-legged, summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, closed his eyes, and began to guide the Soul Rings.

The next second, the black spirit ring floated up and quickly moved above the Blue Silver Grass spirit, rhythmically and slowly encircling it. Once it encircled the Blue Silver Grass spirit, the dark golden spirit ring energy inside suddenly poured out, mixed with a wisp of cold green aura.

"What immense energy!" As the energy entered his body, Tang San instantly felt his meridians bulge.

However, no tearing symptoms appeared, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next second, he suddenly felt a chill between his eyebrows, and his consciousness momentarily went haywire.

A moment later, consciousness returned.

He quickly looked inward at his body, but there was no change in his body, and he did not feel any discomfort.

Time passed slowly, and it felt like it flew by. In just one hour, the soul ring was completely absorbed.

Opening my eyes and sensing myself, I found my soul power had increased to level 43.

"As expected of a ten-thousand-year soul ring, it has increased by 3 levels, just as I predicted." He couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

Normally, the absorption period for the fourth spirit ring is 5,000 years, but he absorbed 10,000 years. In addition, considering the level increase from absorbing the spirit bone earlier, he had already anticipated that he would increase by 3 levels. And the result was exactly as he expected, without any deviation.

"How is it?" Yu Xiaogang smiled, a rare occurrence.

Tang San smiled and replied, "Soul power level 43, Soul skill Blue Silver Thousand-Pound Entangling Armor. Its effect is that the vines harden and wrap around the entire body below the head. In addition to directly increasing defense and protection, it can also greatly increase limb strength. The reason is that the vines can move the limbs, providing additional power. Perhaps because it is a soul ring absorbed at a higher level, the power increase it brought me is doubled."

Dai Mubai's third spirit ring can double his strength, and his fourth spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Such an improvement seemed quite normal to him.

"Double!" Within sight, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji were all shocked.

"Good, good, good, as expected of my apprentice, Yu Xiaogang." Yu Xiaogang rarely expressed his praise directly.

Then he smiled and looked at Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji.

"Now that Xiao San has finished absorbing his spirit ring, let's pack up and set off. The promotion matches are approaching, and I need to get back and guide the team to train harder."

"With Xiao San acquiring such a soul skill, I have even more confidence in the team winning the championship."

"Okay." Liu Erlong nodded gently and began to tidy up the things on the ground.

Before long, the four of them set off.

As they walked, a spider suddenly darted out from the road; it was the same ten-thousand-year-old Soul-Devouring Demon Spider they had encountered before.

Tang San's expression instantly darkened. He turned to look at Liu Erlong and said, "Aunt Erlong, this Soul-Devouring Spider King has repeatedly ambushed us on the road. It's clear that it has ambushed other people in the past. My suggestion is to kill it directly to prevent it from ambushing and harming other human soul masters in the future."

When I needed you, I couldn't find you. Now you dare to show yourself and attack me. You're courting death. So I'll grant your wish.

"Alright." Liu Erlong nodded, turned to look at Zhao Wuji, and they attacked together.

A quarter of an hour later, after a fierce battle, the Soul-Devouring Spider King was dead!

The group continued their journey, and an hour later, they encountered the ancient human-faced demon spider they had encountered before.

"Aunt Erlong." A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he turned to look at Liu Erlong again and suggested killing her.

Liu Erlong nodded and did as instructed, and together with Zhao Wuji, they killed the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

The procession continued onward.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and they didn't encounter many soul beasts.

They traveled smoothly all the way from leaving the Sunset Forest to reaching the nearest town and taking a horse-drawn carriage back to the academy.

"Little San, it's getting late, go back to your room and get some rest." Yu Xiaogang said with a smile as he entered the academy.

"Yes, teacher!" Tang San bowed respectfully and turned to walk towards the dormitory.

The thought of seeing his beloved Xiao Wu again brought a smile to his lips. He had indeed missed her quite a bit after not seeing her for so many days.

Lost in thought, I quickened my pace and rushed to the dormitory as fast as I could.

Entering the living room, I found my teammates were not there; they had probably all gone back to their rooms to train. I headed straight for my room.

"Master, you're so amazing!" Before I even got close, I heard a soft, panting breath.

It's Xiao Wu's voice.

"!?!" Tang San was taken aback, then quickened his pace. The door was ajar, so he pushed it open and walked in.

His pupils contracted instantly, then his eyes widened as if they were about to burst.

His teammates were all there; the men had all been subdued and were bound hand and foot, casually left in a corner, each facing the soft bed, their faces flushed. Following his gaze, he saw his beloved Xiao Wu and Jiang Zhu. The former was sitting on Long Yingtian's lap, the latter pressed against his back.

The room was brightly lit, with a white-red hue that illuminated the room.

"Third Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing Tang San enter, Xiao Wu's face flushed even more. Her slender white arms tightly hugged Long Yingtian's neck. She looked over and shook her head repeatedly. "But, but, I had no choice."

"You don't have that ability."

The others immediately turned to look.

Tang San felt his mind explode, his eyes instantly turned red, and he immediately activated his martial soul and rushed over.

"Long Yingtian, I want you dead!"

Xiao Wu must have been forced; it was definitely Long Yingtian who coerced her—that was the first thought in my mind.

"Third Brother, no!" Xiao Wu screamed, trying to turn around, but Long Yingtian smiled and put his arm around her waist to steady her, his eyes showing disdain.

"Tang San, you've become a eunuch, how can you give Xiao Wu happiness?"

"Third Brother, don't worry. Even if you can't, we can still be a spiritual couple like Master and Aunt Erlong. And since we're a spiritual couple, why should we care about the physical?" Xiao Wu glanced at Long Yingtian, then looked at Tang San with tender eyes and said softly:

"Third Brother, my heart will always belong to you!"

"Once I give birth, we can raise the child together. That way, you'll also have a child. I promise you'll be the first person the child sees after birth. As long as we build a bond from a young age, the child will definitely be close to you. Whether it's our biological child or not won't matter."

"As long as we don't say anything, you're the child's biological father!"

"Don't worry, I'll come visit occasionally," Long Yingtian chuckled, "and maybe comfort lonely Xiao Wu while I'm at it."

Tang San blushed crimson and abruptly raised his hand, "Die! First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"

"Xiao Wu, move yourself, hold me tight." Long Yingtian said as he stood up. Xiao Wu instinctively hooked her legs around his waist and wrapped her arms around his neck. As Long Yingtian jumped off the bed, she jerked violently, her waist being supported by one hand. Then she turned her head and saw Long Yingtian's right hand in the sky lightly wave, flames instantly rising up with a strong wind, burning away all the attacking vines. He then nodded slightly.

"Defeating you only takes one hand!"

Tang San's face immediately flushed, veins bulging on his forehead. He activated his fourth soul skill and charged forward.

He couldn't hurt Xiao Wu. Long Yingtian must have used illusion magic to control Xiao Wu, which is why all these things happened.

"Ghostly Shadows. Jade Hand."

"Puff puff puff puff." Long Yingtian seemed to be able to predict the movements and blocked all of Tang San's attacks.

And seizing the opportunity, she kicked Tang San to the ground. With a flash, Xiao Wu landed beside her with a high-pitched scream, and "plop!" stepped on Tang San's chest.

Then, with a flick of his hand, the binding soul skill of the imprint was activated, binding Tang San tightly.

He raised his foot again and stepped directly on Tang San's right palm.

"Ah!" Tang San screamed in agony as excruciating pain struck his body.

"Master, please, please don't hurt Third Brother. I'll do anything you ask if you can spare him," Xiao Wu pleaded.

As she spoke, she struggled, her face growing increasingly flushed and her eyes brimming with tears, perhaps out of concern for Tang San.

"Then spare his life." Long Yingtian gave a soft hum, and with a clench of his fist, a blue silver grass whip appeared in his palm.

"But you can't escape punishment!" With that, he flung it away violently.

"Ahhh!" Tang San screamed in agony as his limbs were repeatedly whipped, leaving them covered in blood.

The torment faced by the Thousand-Pound Ants in the Sunset Forest was almost identical.

Xiao Wu stopped shouting. Long Yingtian swung his whip so fast that she could barely keep her balance.

He kept his head down and sobbed incessantly.

She looked like she was torn between her master and her lover, unsure of whose side to take.

PS: This is an illusion. Extremes beget their opposites. Tang San and his companions tortured the Thousand-Pound Ant too severely, and in its last moments, the ant wanted them to experience its pain as well, so it left behind a lingering will carrying this will in its spirit ring.
