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

Chapter 457 Overestimating Yu Xiaogang!

Yu Xiaogang was visibly excited, leaning slightly forward as he said, "Xiao San, imagine if your chrysanthemum petals became as sharp as knives, and could be released at will, and also carried deadly poison, what do you think would happen?"

"Then I can obtain poisoned hidden weapons continuously without having to forge them? And they can be continuously strengthened with the addition of spirit rings. This is simply a perfect match for the development direction of my Tang Sect's unique skills." A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he was also very excited.

"In this way, I can keep throwing poisoned weapons at my opponent, keeping him constantly on the defensive."

He immediately said.

"Teacher, I happened to learn throwing techniques for a while when I was in the village, and the career path you mentioned is perfect for me!"

"That's quite a coincidence," Yu Xiaogang said with a smile. "Then it's settled."

"Yes, teacher!" Tang San replied respectfully.

After another chat, he walked out of the room with a happy expression.

"6!" At this moment, Zhu Wu only had this one word to describe his feelings.

Suddenly, I understood why the world had to create the Golden Chrysanthemum Queen to replace Ah Yin as Tang San's mother. Was it to force a match between her and Tang San's Tang Sect hidden weapons? If you can't hit a fixed target, then just provide you with hidden weapons.

If you absorb a spirit ring of the corresponding attribute and then go to the Yin-Yang Well for a Yin-Yang Body Refinement, or consume a rare and powerful Chrysanthemum, you might be surprised by the results. The former grants dual attributes of ice and fire, while the latter directly increases hardness; it's quite formidable.

Unfortunately, with his arrival, the immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are now out of the question.

And now, Yu Xiaogang has added another interpretation of the poison attribute.

It's ruined, truly ruined!

The Light attribute is effective against the Poison attribute.

Of course, because of the awakening of twin martial souls, Tang San's Golden Chrysanthemum Emperor bloodline has not yet fully awakened, and the light attribute carried by his martial soul is not high, far from the level of the Golden Chrysanthemum Emperor. Therefore, absorbing a poison attribute spirit ring will not harm him.

However, it will conversely wash away the Light talent, turning it into Poison Chrysanthemum, and the strength of the inherited poison attribute will be very small.

After all, the essence of the Golden Chrysanthemum Emperor is light and life attributes.

It originally had the potential to become a golden, gleaming greatsword; the light attribute itself could enhance its strength. If it had continued down this path, its achievements would have far surpassed those of the original Chrysanthemum Douluo. But now, following Yu Xiaogang's path boils down to one word: power.

send!

If you're fighting someone with high defense, breaking through their defense will be a real problem.

Of course, Tang San's hidden weapon skills can compensate for some of this. So, he'll still be very strong against weaker opponents, but against top-tier opponents, he'll be absolutely crushed!

Leaving aside his eldest disciple Xiao Wu, who awakened the Golden Dragon Martial Soul with his help, he's too old to participate in the next Soul Master Competition. There's also his youngest disciple Bai Yi, who awakened the Silver Dragon Martial Soul; Huo Wushuang, who consumed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum; and Dugu Yan, who forged her body through ice and fire. Oh, and there's also Yan.

None of them could break through the defenses.

"I'm suddenly feeling a little excited?" she said with a slight smile.

The following day, Tang San, led by Yu Xiaogang, headed to the beginner-level Soul Hunting Forest and arrived safely half a day later.

The familiar plot unfolds as the two encounter a 400-year-old Datura snake. Yu Xiaogang is poisoned, and Tang San kills him with a hidden weapon.

Then, it began to absorb the spirit rings.

The reason, according to the master, is that the scales of the datura snake are extremely hard, difficult to injure with ordinary swords, and are highly venomous. Hard, highly poisonous, and with scales that resemble flower petals, they are very suitable for absorption.

"Tang Hao is really carefree; he didn't even follow along," Zhu Wu thought to himself.

Tang Hao arrived at the academy in the afternoon and hadn't overheard Tang San and his master's conversation at noon, so he was unaware that Yu Xiaogang had given Tang San a poison-attribute spirit ring. Furthermore, his attention was immediately drawn to Xiao Wu upon arrival. Although he later learned that Tang San had become Yu Xiaogang's disciple, he didn't take any action, clearly feeling that having Yu Xiaogang teach his son the basics was sufficient for now.

After all, they come from a prominent family and have even attended the Spirit Hall Academy; they are certainly better than the teachers at this junior academy.

The two had met before, so they recognized each other at a glance.

Tang Hao didn't come today, probably because he was worried that Xiao Wu would be discovered. Also, he probably felt that Yu Xiaogang, a powerful Soul Master, was more than capable of dealing with a hundred-year-old Soul Beast.

This is clearly an overestimation of Yu Xiaogang!

"Tang Hao must know that Tang San's Golden Chrysanthemum Martial Soul is of the Light attribute. If he knew that Yu Xiaogang wanted him to absorb a Poison attribute Soul Ring, I wonder what he would think?" Zhu Wu smiled. "Did he think that with Yu Xiaogang's background and knowledge, he wouldn't make a bad choice?"

I've overestimated Yu Xiaogang once again!

"Tang San, you're out of luck! Oh, you've lost the blessing of your destiny!" His smile widened.

After a long while, Tang San woke up and immediately discovered that Yu Xiaogang had been poisoned, so he quickly began to treat him.

Three days later, Yu Xiaogang woke up and, after a moment of relief, immediately asked what was wrong.

"Mistress, did you succeed?"

For him, the theories he researched were more important than life itself.

Tang San smiled and nodded slightly, then raised his right hand to summon his martial soul. "Teacher, look."

Yu Xiaogang looked closely and saw that Tang San's martial soul had changed drastically. The golden chrysanthemum had turned dark purple, with only the tips of the petals still retaining their gold color. To be precise, the tips of the petals, which were shaped like snake fangs, were gold.

The petals have now closed up at the top, becoming extremely sharp. From a distance, they look like exposed fangs, the fangs of a datura serpent.

Even the delicate stamens at the center resemble fangs, only finer and denser.

It really worked!

Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he suppressed his inner thrill as he hurriedly asked, "How's the hardness?"

Tang San didn't speak, but with a thought, his first spirit ring lit up, and spirit petals shot out one by one.

"Puff puff puff!" The needles pierced the tree trunk one after another, but only the sharp tip of the needles penetrated, about a quarter of the trunk.

"Great, that's wonderful!" Yu Xiaogang was very excited. "To have such power with the first spirit ring is already extremely impressive. It seems my judgment was correct. After the chrysanthemum was infused with the Mandragora Serpent spirit ring, it underwent a transformation and became harder."

"I originally thought the petals would mutate into scales, but it seems they have mutated into fangs, which is better than I expected."

"The venom of the datura snake is partly contained in its fangs, which is probably inherited from it."

"Hey, little mistress, tell me about your soul skill!"

Tang San smiled and said, "Teacher, my first spirit ring is called Exploding Venom Fang. Its effect is to burst out and spray out venomous fangs made of flower petals."

"I have a feeling that once I'm proficient, I should be able to control the number of fangs I spray."

"As for the venom, you're right. My Chrysanthemum Martial Soul does inherit some of the venom of the Datura Serpent, but it's not a deadly poison. Rather, it's the paralyzing effect of the Datura Serpent's venom. The venom isn't strong, but its restrictive effect should be quite good. Battles are often decided in an instant. Even if the opponent's movements are only slightly slowed down, my venomous fang attacks can exert a greater suppressive force."

"And with my Tang Clan's hidden weapon skills, it goes without saying," he said with full confidence.

Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad. Your soul skill attacks are dense, so it's hard to dodge if your movements and reactions are slow."

"Show off, the light attribute has been cleared, and you're still so satisfied with only inheriting this little bit of paralyzing toxicity." Zhu Wu chuckled.

It's important to understand that Soul Masters have far greater physical resistance than ordinary people, so this bit of paralysis effect is completely useless against opponents of the same level.

Tang San wasn't a Soul Master in his previous life, so he didn't realize this at all and treated his future opponents as ordinary people. As for Yu Xiaogang, he was too weak and hadn't participated in many battles, especially since he had never been attacked by poison-attribute Soul Skills, so he knew absolutely nothing.

As for hardness and attack power, if it were a spirit ring with the attribute of light, these teeth would have been embedded all the way into the tree trunk long ago. I'm quite satisfied with this.

Two newbies are having a blast here!

"Whatever makes you happy, I'm just having a good laugh!" He smiled and looked away.

The two will need time to return to the academy, so there won't be any fun to watch for now.
