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

Chapter 468 Made a profit, made a profit?

"It was just luck," Tang San said modestly.

Ning Rongrong, a support-level Soul Master, was able to absorb Soul Rings beyond her level, so naturally he wasn't going to fall behind. And as it turned out, his gamble paid off. However, the process was quite dangerous, which served as a reminder that he needed to pay attention to the age limit when absorbing Soul Rings beyond his level in the future.

If this one had been 100 years older, it might have actually exploded and died.

"What kind of soul skill did you get, Xiao San?" Ma Hongjun asked.

"Cage of the Trapped Beast!" Tang San smiled slightly, reached out and summoned his martial soul, whose branches and leaves had completely transformed into deep purple. With a thought, his third soul ring lit up, and a faint purple light instantly spread across the ground beneath his feet. Then, with a whoosh, more than a dozen ivory-like petals rose up.

The curved teeth, like crescent moons, all pointed inwards, converging at a single point on Tang San's head to form a circular cage encircling his body. From a distance, it resembled an unopened flower bud.

"A defensive soul skill?" Zhao Wuji asked in surprise, turning to Dai Mubai. "Mubai, go throw a punch and see how strong it is?"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Dai Mubai smiled and strode forward.

"Martial Soul Possession. Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation" With the amplification fully applied, he tucked his waist and swung his hand to deliver a punch.

"Crack!" The area that was punched didn't shatter, but a small hole appeared at the intersection of the top fangs.

"As expected of a spirit ring absorbed from a higher level, its defensive power is quite impressive!" Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up.

"Judging from the situation, it still has a certain stress-relief effect, all of which has been pushed to the top."

"Not bad," Tang San's voice came. "I can sense that some of the force was transferred to the point of convergence at the top. Therefore, the frontal defense of my soul skill is much higher than the top. Besides the force-dissipating effect, it's also because the front of the petals is much thicker than the top."

Everyone nodded in understanding. Tang San's petals resembled venomous fangs, and since the tips of venomous fangs are pointed, the resulting defensive surface would naturally be much weaker.

"This should be considered a weakness of this soul skill. We should be more careful when using it in the future," Zhao Wuji said.

"Hmm." Tang San nodded, then smiled and said, "My soul skill isn't just limited to protecting myself."

As he spoke, he activated his third soul skill, and flower petals immediately rose around Dai Mubai's body, gathering together to form a cage.

"It's actually a control soul skill, and it's a group skill at that!" Dai Mubai was taken aback.

"I've struck gold! I've struck gold!" Zhao Wuji grinned from ear to ear, and quickly asked, "Little San, what's the release range?"

"Thirty meters." Tang San said helplessly as he untied the cage. "And that's with my soul power present at the release point. That's easy to solve. I can use my first soul skill to project the petals there, and my soul power will naturally spread there as well."

"The biggest problem now is the consumption of soul power. At my current soul power level, I estimate that it will be depleted after releasing it 5 times."

"Even if he eats Oscar's recovery sausage, he can probably only release it a maximum of 7 times in a short period of time."

"That's normal," Zhao Wuji said calmly. "Soul skills that involve crowd control are usually only acquired by Soul Masters when they break through to Soul King. You've already acquired it as your third Soul Skill, so it's bound to be limited by your Soul Power reserves."

"It's alright, you'll be fine once your cultivation level improves."

"Top-tier soul skills like this, which can be used for multiple purposes, are something that most people would love to obtain but don't even have the means to do so."

It's clear that the Golden Chrysanthemum King has high potential; try getting a weaker plant-based spirit skill instead, and I'll be amazed if you could obtain this spirit skill. Also, it's a pity Tang San washed his attributes; if he had obtained this spirit skill through a light-attribute spirit ring, his defense would be absolutely off the charts.

The skill effect is very good, but I chose the attribute talent with the worst defense bonus.

Even a level 37 Dai Mubai can break a mouth with a single punch. If he were to encounter a powerful Soul Master, wouldn't he explode on the spot?

It's not the best, but it's better than the worst; that's probably what it means.

Zhu Wu is speechless at how the perfectly good Golden Chrysanthemum Emperor has been ruined like this.

However, Tang San, the person involved, was very satisfied and nodded with a smile.

"Alright, the matter is settled, we should head back now," Zhao Wuji continued.

So the team packed up their things and headed back home. On the way, Tang San gifted his teammates a type of hidden weapon.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yu Xiaogang arrived at Shrek Academy.

"What? Erlong wasn't with you?" Flander's expression changed upon learning that Liu Erlong hadn't left with Yu Xiaogang back then.

Then, the two blamed each other, had a big argument, and parted on bad terms.

A few days later, Zhao Wuji led the team back to the academy. After telling the students to go back and rest, he rushed to Flander's office as soon as possible.

"It seems I was careless after all." After hearing Zhao Wuji recount his experience in the Star Dou Great Forest, Flander felt a wave of fear.

"A cow's bellow?" Yu Xiaogang, who had just reached the door, looked puzzled.

He knew about Titan Apes, but this was the first time he had ever heard of a strange soul beast that could subdue a Titan Ape.

A thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he stepped into the room.

"Come, Zhao Wuji, let me introduce you." Flander immediately stood up, gestured for Yu Xiaogang to sit down, and then introduced him.

Afterwards, they talked about what the children had gained from the trip to the Starry Sky Forest.

Upon hearing that his disciple Tang San had absorbed the two-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider's soul ring, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed repeatedly. Only after hearing about the successful absorption and the effects of the acquired soul skill did his expression soften, and he regained his calm demeanor, nodding slightly.

"It's really good."

This is how a copy should look.

Then, he went out to find Tang San and gave him a good scolding for absorbing a spirit ring that was above his level.

They're putting on an act again. Zhu Wu, finding it uninteresting, chose to look away.

What follows is undoubtedly Yu Xiaogang leading the Shrek team in their daily running training, nothing special.

Three months later, looking around again, Yu Xiaogang had already begun leading Tang San and the others into the Soto City Great Soul Arena to start their Soul Battles. As for the missing team members, just like in the main world, Tang San persuaded the Tie brothers to fill the gaps, but he did not agree to let them join the academy.

They're just being used as tools.

Of course, given the Tie brothers' humble background, they could still learn something by following them around, so it wasn't a bad deal.

While Zhu Wu was watching Tang San fight his spirit, on the other side, at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy...

Yu Tianheng led the second team out to start a patrol battle. Before leaving, he invited Dugu Yan, but she refused.

However, Qin Ming, the team leader, was tempted, saying that the team always needs to experience real battles to identify and address its shortcomings, and it would be good to practice with the teams in the Great Soul Arena.

Dugu Yan thought about it and agreed that it made sense, and that they should keep their distance from Yu Tianheng along the way.

So the two groups left the academy in different carriages.

Sensing something, he shifted his gaze, smiled, and made no attempt to stop him.

The physical training program at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy did improve considerably after the three girls, including Dugu Yan, joined, and Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng learned it all. But so what?

Even if you gave him a magical herb, let alone some training programs, it wouldn't pose any threat to him.

"That's fine. If Rongrong and the others run into Tang San again, I can watch the show to pass the time."

Thinking this, he withdrew his gaze, then his consciousness returned to his body, and he went back to the Dragon Realm to spend time with his wife.
