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

Chapter 192 Xiao Wu, I promise you!

"Hmm?" Tang Hao's eyes lit up, and his gaze quickly moved to Zhao Wuji.

This luck... Zhao Wuji realized something, his eyes filled with envy. But he dared not, he really dared not.

Who knows if Tang Hao was following them? Two years ago, he only got beaten up, but if he makes a move now, he might die on the spot.

I don't quite understand Tang Hao. Tang San already knows his identity, so why does he still hide and follow him?

Time passed slowly, and about half an hour later, with a soft "poof," two pairs of transparent, thin wings suddenly sprang out from behind Tang San. One pair was large, and the other pair, smaller, folded beneath the larger ones. The veins on the wings resembled those of leaves, displaying a dark gold color mixed with some oily green.

It is exactly the same as the two pairs of thin wings on the back of the previous Ant King.

"Looks like the mistress is pretty lucky." A smile appeared on Liu Erlong's face.

"It's not just good luck, it's downright enviable," Zhao Wuji said sourly.

Yu Xiaogang sat up straight, a smile on his face. While proud of his disciple Tang San's successful absorption of the fourth ten-thousand-year spirit ring, he suddenly felt that absorbing the twenty-thousand-year left leg bone earlier was quite worthwhile. After all, if they hadn't absorbed it, they wouldn't have brought Tang San to obtain a spirit ring, and naturally, they wouldn't have encountered the Thousand-Pound Ant King. Thus, that external spirit bone would have been out of his disciple's reach.

In terms of value, an external soul bone that can evolve is comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul bone, not to mention that it can also provide the ability to fly.

This trip was incredibly profitable!

Tang Hao thought so too, and a smile appeared on his face.

With this external soul bone, Xiao San's chances of succeeding when entering that place in the future will likely be greatly increased.

As she pondered, Tang San slowly opened his eyes in her sight, and his originally flushed face had recovered under the modification of the soul ring energy.

"Little San, you're really lucky to be alive," Zhao Wuji said first. "You looked like you were having a nightmare just now, we almost thought you weren't going to make it. Maybe this is what they mean by 'a narrow escape from death brings good fortune later'."

Nightmare Tang San chewed on the words and instantly understood.

I must have suffered some mental shock during the process of absorbing the spirit ring, which caused me to fall into a dream.

Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Erlong standing next to teacher Yu Xiaogang. A strange look flashed in his eyes. Why would Liu Erlong appear in that state in his nightmare? He hadn't peeked at Aunt Erlong taking a bath or anything.

It must be because of the lingering resentment of the soul beast.

Yes, that must be it!

And then there's Long Yingtian, who insulted my teammates, Xiao Wu, and Aunt Erlong in my dream. He deserves to die!

Sooner or later, I will repay you tenfold for all the suffering I have endured in my dreams!

Long Yingtian, I will definitely make you experience that feeling of being unable to live or die.

He made a silent vow, then composed himself, stood up, and with a thought, retracted his wings and walked calmly toward Yu Xiaogang.

After experiencing such a terrible nightmare, he also figured out some things.

Power is everything!

Only by possessing power can he protect those he cherishes and have the ability to take revenge.

As for anything else, there was nothing that could warrant his excessive attention. Even if the world were to collapse and humanity and soul beasts were to become extinct, what would it have to do with him?

As long as the people I cherish are doing well, that's enough.

"How is it?" Zhao Wuji's bronze eyes widened slightly as he asked three questions in quick succession, "What level are you? What are your soul skills? What are your soul bone abilities?"

"Level 42+," Tang San said calmly. "Soul Skill: Blue Silver Thousand-Pound Entangling Armor."

The effect is the same as what I sensed in the nightmare, the only difference being the power amplification, which is only 25%.

All things considered, it is already extremely powerful. However, compared to the information obtained in the nightmare, the soul power is one level lower, and the power boost is three-quarters less.

This made him anything but happy.

"This soul skill is pretty good!" Zhao Wuji said enviously. "It not only increases defense, but it also amplifies strength. Xiao San, I feel like you don't need to hide in the back of the team to control things anymore. Just charge ahead and unleash vines from your body."

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up, and he fell into thought. "That is indeed a good idea."

"I'll try it out when I get back. Thank you for your guidance, Professor Zhao Wuji."

"Hehe, I was just saying," Zhao Wuji laughed. "If I had such a soul skill, I would definitely do it this way."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and interjected, "Xiao San, can you use this soul skill on your teammates?"

"It doesn't seem like that will work." Tang San shook his head. "However, teacher, I can try to develop it when we get back."

"Let's focus on practicing multi-dimensional fusion techniques for now," Yu Xiaogang said. "We can try them later if we have more time."

"Okay, teacher." Tang San nodded and continued, "As for the external soul bone, after it manifested, I felt my body became much lighter and my strength greatly increased, especially the strength of my arms."

"In addition, it should also have the ability to fly."

Yu Xiaogang nodded. "This external soul bone connects to the spine at the back of the arm, which is why it provides a greater boost to arm strength. As for flight ability, Xiao San, there's something you might need to be careful about. Wings are actually a weak point for the Thousand-Pound Ant race. You must have already experienced this when your Aunt Erlong was dealing with the Thousand-Pound Ant King."

"The weakness of this external soul bone is its thin wing membrane. This also means that before you cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo, if your wing membrane is hit while you are flying at high altitude, you will immediately lose the ability to fly and fall to the ground and get injured."

"As for the blessing effect, as long as it is not broken at the root, it should not be affected."

Tang San nodded. "Teacher, thank you for your reminder. I will definitely pay more attention during future battles."

"In that case," Yu Xiaogang looked up at Liu Erlong, "we should pack up and head back."

"Okay." Liu Erlong nodded and began packing his things.

Fifteen minutes later, we set off.

They didn't encounter the Soul-Eating Spiders or the Human-Faced Spiders on the way, so it went quite smoothly.

Two days later, I returned to the college, just before evening.

Tang San couldn't help but recall the scene from his nightmare. Without delay, he said goodbye to Yu Xiaogang and ran back to his dormitory immediately.

Pushing open the door, I saw Xiao Wu sitting by the window, staring blankly out the window, looking lost in thought.

"Xiao Wu." Tang San felt a sense of relief and called out softly.

"Third Brother!" Xiao Wu turned around, her face immediately lit up with surprise, and she ran forward and threw herself into his arms.

"Xiao Wu, I will never let anyone hurt you again in this life," Tang San secretly vowed in his heart.

Even in dreams, it won't work. Anyone who has ever hurt you deserves to die!

"Third Brother, why did you take so long this time? Did you encounter some powerful soul beast?" Xiao Wu's voice came.

"I guess so," Tang San replied somewhat perfunctorily.

"Can you tell me about it?" Xiao Wu looked up, her face pitiful. "Cultivating has been so boring while you were gone."

Tang San nodded, pulled Xiao Wu to the bedside, and began to recount his experiences in Sunset Forest, omitting what needed to be omitted, especially the events in his dream.

Even so, Xiao Wu's face turned pale, and Tang San did not hide the fact that he had brutally killed the soul beasts.

Unable to reveal his identity, he could only plead, "Third Brother, soul beasts are also living beings. Slaughtering them is far too cruel."

"Third brother, promise me you won't do this again. That's all." Her face flushed.

Let's do good deeds for our future children.

Xiao Wu is too kind. The law of the world is survival of the fittest! Fine, from now on, I'll handle the dark deeds alone. To protect Xiao Wu, and for a better future, some sacrifices are inevitable. Tang San sighed inwardly.

He immediately raised his hand, his face solemn, and vowed, "Xiao Wu, I promise you! From now on, the soul beasts I hunt will only be the kind that are particularly evil and have an active attack, and I will never kill them indiscriminately."

"Mmm." Xiao Wu nodded gently, then lowered her head. "Third Brother, can I sleep with you tonight?"

"I'm a little scared."

Tang San's description of Liu Erlong and Zhao Wuji's brutal killing of the Thousand-Jun Ant King did indeed frighten her.

After all, she was also a soul beast.

"That won't do. We're not young anymore; there's a difference between men and women." Tang San shook his head without hesitation, while the words Xiao Wu had spoken in his nightmare flashed through his mind. He didn't have that ability, so Xiao Wu had no choice but to do that kind of thing with other men.

Even though it was just a nightmare, he was still worried. He worried that Xiao Wu might really discover he didn't have that ability.

He needs power, until he cultivates himself into a god and has the ability to heal himself!

Only on that day will he be able to be truly honest with Xiao Wu.

"Why not just use a different blanket?" Xiao Wu whispered, "As long as you're by my side, that's enough."

Tang San remained silent. He could tell that Xiao Wu truly needed his company and seemed genuinely afraid.

"Alright then." She nodded gently, knowing that as long as she covered herself with the blanket, she wouldn't be able to see it.

"I knew Third Brother was the best." Xiao Wu's face lit up immediately, and she got up to tidy up with Tang San.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the two got up early, held hands, and headed out to the cafeteria.

Xiao Wu always had a smile on his face. This time when he came back, he felt that his third brother had become much more relaxed.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, the teammates were also a little surprised. Tang San, who was usually so serious, actually dared to hold hands with Xiao Wu in front of everyone. What was going on?

"A mistress, not bad!" Ma Hongjun commented slyly.

Tang San simply smiled slightly, without responding, and sat down to invite Xiao Wu to have breakfast.

Before long, they met on the playground and under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, they underwent high-intensity training, giving it their all.

"It seems that the mistress has changed quite a bit since this trip," Flander said with surprise.

"After going through hardships, you will naturally gain something," Yu Xiaogang said calmly.

It seems the mistress has overcome that hurdle. I feel happy for my apprentice's change.

Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, thought so too, and a smile appeared on his face.

In the afternoon, the team began to practice and execute the seven-in-one fusion technique.

"It's actually a fourth spirit ring of ten thousand years!" The team members were all taken aback when they finally saw Tang San reveal his spirit ring.

Tang San's expression remained calm, but his chest involuntarily straightened slightly, as if all of this was perfectly natural.

His current achievements are all due to his own hard work and perseverance, and the hardships he has endured.

Whether physically or mentally!

Heaven is fair; only through effort can one make progress. The path of cultivation is arduous; only with unwavering will and relentless perseverance can one reach the summit.

Now, he wholeheartedly agrees!
