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

Chapter 27 I only regret that I don't have a powerful backer!

Not long after, outside the attic on the top floor of the dormitory building.

"Who could it be?" Tang Hao, awakened by the commotion of the surrounding crowd searching, had a grim expression. After observing from a distance and then following Tang San to search the area, he found no suspicious individuals. He was almost certain that it wasn't someone from the academy who committed the crime.

Could it be that when the mistress went to work at the blacksmith's shop, a Soul Master sensed the fluctuations of her Soul Guidance Device on the way and then targeted her? His son's status at the academy is that of a work-study student, representing a commoner background, which would indeed embolden some people to provoke him.

"Damn it, they actually stole from my son!"

He was injured in an explosion earlier, and now his son's valuable possessions have been stolen right under his nose, which has truly infuriated him.

I never expected it to be Zhu Wu, because he had already applied for graduation and didn't have the ability.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"As expected of someone from the Tang Clan who has cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, their perception is so strong. They sensed me after only being stared at for a short while." Zhu Wu ran through the night, his face slightly pale. "If I hadn't run fast, something bad might have happened."

The moment he landed, his soul power was almost completely depleted, and his body felt as if it had been hollowed out, leaving him feeling weak.

Maintaining the simulated form requires a continuous drain on his soul power, and at this moment, his soul power is only level 12, not even level 13, which he really can't afford to waste. If he delays any longer, even if he doesn't reveal his true form in mid-air and fall to his death, he might still be discovered and caught red-handed.

After all, there was still a Title Douluo named Tang Hao in the academy. When he arrived, Tang Hao was nowhere to be seen in Holy Soul Village.

"Fortunately, it was a close call!" He glanced back and sneered, "Tang San, you have a long road ahead of you."

"Very well, waking Tang San this time will help the academy clear its name. Since no innocent people were harmed, this trip can be considered a success."

He didn't consider himself a good person, but he didn't want those who had helped him to be implicated.

"Then, the next step is to search the mountains surrounding Holy Soul Village, helping Xiaobai find herbs while also looking for Ah Yin." Taking a deep breath, he quickened his pace again.

Until they arrived at a residential area far from the academy, they jumped onto the roof of one of the houses and sat down to meditate.

Time passed slowly until the sky was tinged with orange light.

Zhu Wu opened his eyes and began practicing the Vajra Skill in the early sunlight.

"Hey, whose kid are you!" After what seemed like an eternity, a loud shout suddenly rang in my ears.

"Climbing that high, aren't you afraid of falling to your death? Where are your parents?"

Zhu Wu opened his eyes and looked down. It was a woman. Although she was cursing fiercely, her eyes were fixed on him, and she looked very worried.

"Sorry, auntie!" Zhu Wu smiled, got up, patted his butt, and jumped down from a height of ten meters.

"Child, don't do anything rash!" the woman screamed.

Then Zhu Wu landed on the ground with a thud, completely unharmed, and the sound abruptly stopped.

"You, are you a human or a ghost?" Fear rose in his eyes, and his voice trembled.

"Of course it's a person, ma'am, I'm going now!"

Having obtained Tang San's soul tool, Zhu Wu was clearly in a good mood. He smiled, waved, and turned to run.

"This child." The woman shook her head and turned to go home.

After a long time, they arrived at the wilderness outside the city gate, in a dense forest.

"Hidden arrows, and a bunch of needles. They haven't even made the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow yet, what a pity." After carefully inspecting Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon, Zhu Wu personally felt Tang San's poverty. "They don't even have the Xuan Tian Treasure Record manual. Tang San is certainly well-prepared."

"However, the Soul Beast Compendium that Yu Xiaogang gave us is still of a very high standard."

"As expected of a product that combines the strengths of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and the Spirit Hall."

He didn't believe that Yu Xiaogang, who couldn't even defeat a hundred-year-old Mandragora Serpent, was capable of obtaining information about these soul beasts.

"I'll have to take a good look at this next, so that things will go more smoothly when I venture into the Star Dou Great Forest."

With his current physical strength, as long as he continues to cultivate the Vajra Technique, and considering the boost from the blood-nourishing herbs that nourish his Martial Soul, he's certain that his second spirit ring won't be limited to the so-called optimal age of 764. And if he's fortunate enough to find and absorb the Blue Silver Emperor's 100,000-year-old right leg, he's absolutely confident that he can even achieve a second spirit ring that lasts a thousand years.

A thousand-year-old spirit attribute soul beast is of decent quality, and there are definitely no such beasts in the beginner-level Soul Hunting Forest.

As for thousand-year-old soul beasts with spatial attributes, he dared not even think about it. Putting aside their rarity and whether they possessed other spatial attribute soul skills, he felt that if they even had a teleportation skill, he would only be able to be toyed with. Needless to say, those with dragon bloodlines were even more out of the question.

After all, he was only a one-ring Soul Master.

I just wish I had a powerful backer!

In addition, he did not think that absorbing the soul ring of a dragon-type soul beast would bring him much improvement in the early stages.

The Dragon God's bloodline is of such a high grade that ordinary dragon bloodlines pale in comparison. It's like throwing a drop of water into an ocean – it wouldn't even make a splash, offering negligible improvement. In comparison, it seems better to focus on cultivating the Vajra Longevity Technique to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and then figure out how to obtain the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Vegetable from the Yin-Yang Well. And also the other rare herbs within, especially those related to Qi and blood.

Feeding the little white thing and then nourishing yourself is definitely much better than absorbing a soul ring.

After all, the spirit rings created after a spirit beast dies store more cultivation power than bloodline power. It's not like it's a sacrifice where the physical body can be fused and infused.

Moreover, the diameter of his martial soul's internal space has now expanded to 1 meter, double the size it was when he first awakened it. However, after absorbing his first spirit ring, the internal space did not expand.

How did you get this promotion?

He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but after spending these days comprehending his martial spirit in Holy Soul Village, he understood.

He was almost certain that the essence of the sun and moon absorbed into his body through his daily practice of the Vajra Longevity Technique, and the beneficial energy fed back to him by Xiaobai's continuous consumption of rare and precious herbs, were both continuously nourishing his bloodline and the thin strand of Dragon God bloodline within him. Meanwhile, Xiaobai, in the process, was also being nourished by its strengthened bloodline, continuously evolving, albeit subtly, but through accumulation.

This also made him realize that cultivating the Vajra Longevity Technique to absorb the essence of the sun and moon in his physical body, and devouring rare and precious materials in his martial soul, was the evolutionary path he should take in the future.

Compared to that, spirit rings are secondary. After all, you can only have a maximum of nine spirit rings, plus divine rings for a total of ten. But he can keep absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and he can keep searching for rare and precious materials, as long as he lives long enough.

Of course, once you have the strength in the future, and happen to encounter a top-tier dragon bloodline, where one of its spirit rings is equivalent to several of the previous ones, you certainly can't miss it.

"As for now, let's focus on improving our main attribute of our martial soul. After all, it's the main attribute, and cultivating the Longevity Technique in the early stages will only increase it slowly. Instead, absorbing soul rings is the most direct and effective way to improve it."

"Well, it's best not to bring this soul tool with you for a while. It wouldn't be good if we ran into Tang Hao while searching for medicine."

With this in mind, Xiaobai put the soul tool back into the spirit space, packed her things, and set off.

P.S.: Sorry, I had to go out this afternoon and was delayed, so today's update will be a little late. I hope you can understand.
