Chapter 12 The Three-Eyed Salamander of 450 Years (Please read on, vote, and add to your favorites)

After returning to Holy Soul Village, Xiao Lin and his two companions continued their lives of cultivation, sparring, and researching martial souls.

Xiao Lin is currently unaware that he has also been targeted by that mediocre teacher Yu Xiaogang. If he knew, he would definitely spit and say "bad luck."

"How's it going, Brother Lin?"

On the grassy area surrounding Holy Soul Village, Tang San diligently channeled his soul power, causing the grass in front of him to grow into a field of Blue Silver Grass.

Tang San is in excellent form today and is confident that his stats will be even better than before.

"Yes, that's really good. I noticed that the Blue Silver Grass has grown one centimeter taller than before, which is quite an improvement in just a few days."

Xiao Lin used the dragon-shaped staff to measure the height of the blue silver grass in front of him, then grabbed a handful and tugged at it, but couldn't budge it for a moment.

"Sure, Xiao San, the most important thing for plant-type martial souls is to take root in the ground. Once the fragile Blue Silver Grass takes root in the ground, even I can't pull it out."

"Your Blue Silver Grass-Cutting Settlement is a qualified self-created soul skill."

Xiao Lin praised Tang San without reservation, saying that this was a hundred times more powerful than the Blue Silver Entanglement.

"Hahaha, doesn't he even know whose son the mistress is?"

At this moment, a deep and loud laugh came from afar, startling Xiao Lin and Tang San.

Tang Hao is back!

Before Xiao Lin and Tang San could even spot Tang Hao after hearing his voice, Tang Hao had already arrived in front of them.

Xiao Lin looked up and saw that Tang Hao, the once tall and strong but haggard drunkard, had changed drastically.

Tang Hao is now experiencing a second spring in his life, his eyes are clear and bright, full of hope.

"Here you are, Little San, your first soul beast, the Three-Eyed Salamander."

Tang Hao threw a one-meter-long, withered salamander onto the ground.

Looking at it, Xiao Lin realized that the withered salamander in front of him did not resemble a soul beast with extremely strong regenerative abilities at all.

Its body is one meter long, with a tail less than thirty centimeters long. The third eye on the back of its head is now deeply sunken and looks listless, as if it has been staying up late for too long.

"Dad, is this a three-eyed salamander?"

Tang San stared at the soul beast in front of him in disbelief. He saw that the moisture on the three-eyed salamander's body was almost dried up, and the faint wounds on its body had not healed.

I seriously doubt whether this is the powerful soul beast that Xiao Lin mentioned.

"There are five rings at the base of its tail. Could it have detached its tail five times to survive?"

Xiao Lin curiously flicked the three-eyed salamander's tail, looking utterly shocked.

Given the regenerative abilities of the three-eyed salamander, it would be impossible for it to leave five ring-shaped scars.

"This little thing is trying to leave its tail behind to mimic my presence and give itself a chance to escape. Am I going to let it get away?"

Tang Hao was merely testing the regenerative abilities of this three-eyed salamander.

Xiao Lin glanced at Tang Hao secretly, then looked at the three-eyed salamander's distinctive horns.

"Each of the two tiny horns on either side sprouted five branches."

"The age of a three-eyed salamander is determined by the number of forks in its head horns; five forks indicate it is over 400 years old."

"In addition, you can also see the regenerative abilities of the three-eyed salamander."

"According to Uncle Hao, this little guy has cut off his tail to survive at least five times, which proves that he is nearly 500 years old."

"But this guy's last attempt to survive by cutting off his tail didn't completely regenerate, so it seems he's around 450 years old."

Xiao Lin shared his speculation and looked up at Tang Hao.

"Xiao Lin is right. I searched for it in the Star Dou Great Forest for almost a month, and only found it in the last three days."

"On my way back over the past three days, it regenerated four times. Its ability to survive by shedding its tail each time was terrifying; it grew a tail almost in the blink of an eye."

"It only looked like it was struggling this last time, and it still hasn't grown back."

Tang Hao nodded and recounted everything he had seen and heard.

"That's right. This guy is a 450-year-old soul beast. The ring marks on his tail are evidence. If nothing unexpected happens, there won't be any flaws to be found on his tail after he escapes."

"It must have been Uncle Hao who kept holding onto it, preventing him from creating any more details, which is why he left behind five circular marks."

"Because of the torment Uncle Hao has caused it these past few days, it's become listless and no longer has the ability to regenerate."

Xiao Lin's eyes lit up as he realized that this soul beast was surprisingly suitable for Tang San to absorb.

"Yes, I haven't fed him for the past few days. Look, here's the tail it cut off to survive."

Tang Hao said affirmatively, and then took out four severed tails from his storage soul tool.

"Each severed tail is about 1.5 meters long, very thick, even thicker than his body."

"This is the tail that the three-eyed salamander uses to survive, mimicking its own aura."

"It seems I underestimated the three-eyed salamander's regenerative abilities, which can be described as super-fast regeneration and gigantification."

Xiao Lin quickly turned to look at Tang San, who was standing there in a daze, "Little San, hurry up and kill it and absorb its soul ring."

"But...but didn't you say the maximum lifespan of the first spirit ring is 423 years?"

Tang San hesitated. Would 450 years be too terrifying?

"Don't worry, you're a genius, so absorbing beyond your limits is nothing. Besides, this three-eyed salamander has already used up a lot of its soul power to regenerate. Even if it can resist, it won't be stronger than a plant-type soul beast."

"450 years is just right, as long as you absorb it diligently."

Xiao Lin smiled confidently, as if to say, "You're a genius, so you should be different from everyone else."

"Okay, I believe you."

A resolute glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he walked alone toward the three-eyed salamander in front of him.

"Here you go, mistress."

At this moment, Tang Hao also took out a steel dagger and threw it to Tang San.

In Tang Hao's eyes, Tang San was also fully capable of absorbing the Three-Eyed Salamander.

In Tang Hao's eyes, Tang San was a true genius, a genius with twin martial souls, and therefore he should surpass the historical limit of 423 years for spirit rings.

How can someone with only one martial soul compare to someone with the talent of having two martial souls?

Soon, thanks to Tang San's decisive action, the three-eyed salamander closed its eyes and passed away peacefully, revealing a bright, golden spirit ring.

"Little San, calm your mind and focus, and use your own martial soul to guide the soul ring."

Tang Hao's calm command from the sidelines gave Tang San even more confidence.

At this moment, Xiao Lin also took out paper and pen and began to record the changes before his eyes.

"The peaceful death of the three-eyed salamander may have helped the little salamander absorb energy to its limit."

"The soul beast was previously exhausted and has little soul power left. I wonder if this will affect the age of its final soul ring?"

Cross out, cross out, that shouldn't be the case.

"It should be stated whether it will affect the strength of the Soul Ring skill."

"The three-eyed salamander has an eye on the back of its head. I wonder if that would enhance Little Blue Silver Grass's sensory abilities?"

"I haven't told the mistress about this, so she probably won't awaken this ability, right?"
