Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 7 An Encounter with Flanders by Ma Hongjun

Tang Nian clenched her fists, and she couldn't help but recall the image of Tang San meditating on the back mountain before dawn every day.

"My brother works so hard every day, so can I! I can protect my brother too! And... my teacher." Tang Nian paused, then said firmly, "I want to absorb a hundred-year-old soul ring, I want to try."

Looking at Tang Nian, Tang Hao couldn't help but show a relieved expression. "Okay! I'll help you. You're not alone."

"Thank you, teacher."

Just then, a large spider covered in crystals appeared in front of the two of them. Its abdomen was injured, and it attacked them.

"A Hundred-Year-Old Crystal Giant Spider." Tang Hao stepped forward and blocked Tang Nian's path. "Someone is hunting this soul beast. Nian Nian, stay close to me and don't wander off."

"Yes, teacher."

Tang Hao tried to lead Tang Nian away from the giant, century-old crystal spider, but it seemed to have gone mad and began attacking the two of them indiscriminately.

What it spewed from its enormous mouth was not spider silk, but clumps of crystal.

It quickly reached the two of them. Tang Hao said, "Niannian, find a safe place to hide. Don't come out until the Crystal Giant Spider is dead."

As Tang Hao raised his hand, Tang Nian clearly felt the surrounding aura distort slightly. Then, the giant crystal spider stopped in its tracks and looked at Tang Hao with a look of fear.

Tang Nian wasn't worried about Tang Hao at all. She quickly found a big tree and hid behind it, knowing that she would only be a burden here.

What are these hundred-year-old soul beasts? In front of Haotian Douluo, they are nothing more than beings that can be crushed at will. Just like now, the Crystal Giant Spider looked at the tall man in front of it in fear and turned to leave, but Tang Hao did not even release his martial soul.

Seeing that the giant crystal spider was trying to escape, Tang Hao did not stop it.

Soon Tang Nian saw two people running over. One was a middle-aged man, and the other was a boy who looked no older than her. The two quickly hunted down the soul beast.

The chubby boy glanced at the two of them warily, but after the elder beside him said something to him, he sat cross-legged.

After the century-old crystal giant spider died, a yellow halo appeared above its head. As the boy sat down, the yellow halo flew towards him.

Tang Nian couldn't see clearly what happened from a distance, but she clearly saw the boy sway, as if he was in some pain.

Tang Hao remained standing still throughout, seemingly unmoved, as if he didn't care about the ownership of the soul beast.

The man walked towards the two with a grin.

Tang Nian saw what had happened and came out, obediently standing beside Tang Hao.

The man laughed and said, "I'm really sorry, brother. But we were the ones who set our sights on this soul beast first. We've been chasing it for quite a while now, and the injuries on its body were inflicted by my disciple. I'm really sorry."

Although he didn't see exactly what happened, he clearly saw the crystal giant spider turn and run away as if it had seen something terrifying.

This mysterious man must be a master; it's best not to antagonize him here.

Tang Hao nodded and said calmly, "It's alright, this soul beast is not suitable for my disciple."

A glint flashed in the man's eyes as he looked down at Tang Nian with curiosity. "This little girl looks quite young. For her to be hunting spirit beasts at such a young age, her spirit power must have been quite high when she awakened her martial spirit, right?"

Tang Hao smiled faintly, "This child just looks young." Tang Hao didn't say anything more, and the man didn't ask any more questions.

Tang Nian looked at the little boy not far away with curiosity in her eyes. She had read in a book that this was absorbing a soul ring, but reading about it and seeing it with her own eyes were completely different.

Thinking that she would also be absorbing a spirit ring in the future, she couldn't help but mentally encourage herself.

The man seemed harmless and said, "My name is Flander. I'm quite familiar with the Star Dou Great Forest. May I ask what kind of soul beast you two are looking for?"

Tang Hao subtly sized up Flander, making a guess about his identity.

"Plant-type Soul Beast".

Flander nodded in agreement. "You can go over there and take a look. We just came from there and saw quite a few plant-type spirit beasts." He pointed in the direction they had come from.

Thank you.

Flander raised an eyebrow curiously and asked, "I wonder what kind of martial soul this young lady possesses?"

Tang Nian didn't recognize the person in front of her, but she could tell that he meant no harm. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should speak or not. She glanced at Tang Hao somewhat awkwardly, and when she saw that Tang Hao did not stop her, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Tang Nianshen held her left hand, and a beautiful spider lily appeared in her palm.

Flander gaped in astonishment. "The Red Spider Lily?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Surprised, he squatted down to examine the spider lily in Tang Nian's hand closely. "I've never seen a martial soul like this before."

Tang Nian smiled sweetly and said, "The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders."

Flander glanced at Tang Nian again and said, "I'm not even as well off as a little girl. What you said makes sense, little girl. I was just ignorant."

Tang Nian smiled but didn't say anything.

Before they could finish speaking, the chubby little boy had already absorbed the spirit ring. He ran up to the three of them and exclaimed, "Teacher, I've finished absorbing the spirit ring!"

As he spoke, he shouted, "Phoenix Line of Fire!"

He spewed a flame from his mouth, heading straight for Tang Nian. Tang Hao swiftly scooped Tang Nian up in his arms, and before either of them could even see his movements clearly, they were already on the other side.

"Ma Hongjun!" With Flander's shout, Ma Hongjun stopped what he was doing.

He scratched his head and walked to Tang Nian's side, sincerely apologizing, "I'm sorry, little sister, I didn't mean to. I was a little excited after absorbing the spirit ring, and I didn't control the heat well just now."

Tang Nian waved her hand. She didn't dislike the boy in front of her. "It's okay, it's okay, nothing serious happened. You don't need to worry about it."

Ma Hongjun looked up at Tang Hao, who was much taller than him. He was a little afraid of Tang Hao. Although he couldn't see his expression, Tang Hao's mysterious appearance made the boy even more apprehensive.

His voice was a little soft, "I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't mean to hit the little girl."

"It's nothing." Tang Hao's tone was indifferent; he couldn't possibly hold a grudge like a child.

At this moment, Flander strode forward, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said, "This child was in the wrong today. Why don't we help this little girl hunt spirit beasts? The more people there are in this Star Dou Great Forest, the safer we'll be. What do you think?"

Babies! Spoiler alert: half of the main cast is involved!
