In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

............

The only route for the Haotian Sect to reach the City of Slaughter.

As soon as Tang San came down the mountain, he rushed to the meeting place he had agreed to meet with Tang Ritian.

"Are you injured?" Tang Ritian frowned and asked when he saw Tang San arrive.

Tang San nodded slightly, looking quite disappointed.

"It seems your trip to the Clear Sky Sect didn't go smoothly." Tang Ritian sighed softly, having guessed pretty much what had happened to Tang San at the Clear Sky Sect. He then asked, "Did you see your uncle?"

Tang San nodded slowly, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. Clearly, he harbored some resentment towards Tang Xiao for not helping him at the crucial moment.

In his view, it was understandable that Tang Yuehua was powerless to help since she was not a Soul Master, but it was really inappropriate that Tang Xiao, as the head of a sect with a cultivation level of 96 and who was also his uncle, did not help him.

-------------------------------------

A jet-black Blue Silver Grass vine appeared in Tang San's right hand like a long whip. Just like in the original work, Tang San used his first spirit first. However, there was a slight difference: the Blue Silver Grass had not yet transformed into the Blue Silver Emperor, and the spirit ring configuration was not yellow-yellow-purple-black-black, but yellow-yellow-purple-purple.

In other words, his fifth spirit ring was attached to the Clear Sky Hammer.

Sitting on the high platform, Tang Xiao and several elders looked at Tang San's spirit ring configuration with a hint of regret. As for the Seventh Elder, his eyes were filled with even more disdain. He muttered under his breath, "To cultivate twin martial spirits to this extent, he really is a piece of trash."

"The competition begins!" Hearing the Seventh Elder's curse, Tang San was also furious. The moment the Second Elder finished speaking, his fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up. Without any warning, more than a dozen Blue Silver Grass vines shot up from Lan Si's body and instantly solidified.

Tang San activated his Blue Silver Grass's fourth soul skill, Blue Silver Prison.

Just when Tang San thought the Blue Silver Cage was about to trap Lan Si, Lan Si merely swung the Haotian Bamboo Shoot and gently tapped the Blue Silver Cage. With a muffled bang, the Blue Silver Cage instantly shattered into pieces.

Lan Si hoisted the Haotian Bamboo Shoot and said in a serious tone, "You bastard, this Blue Silver Grass was inherited from that monstrous soul beast, right? I have to say, it's really useless. It'll break at the slightest touch. You should use your Haotian Hammer instead."

When their martial souls clashed, the Blue Silver Cage shattered. Caught off guard, Tang San undoubtedly suffered a backlash, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"As you wish." Lan Si's "bastard" undoubtedly touched Tang San's sore spot. In his shock and anger, he let out a fierce shout. The four yellow and purple soul rings disappeared, and five extremely strange purple-black soul rings swirled out. The Blue Silver Grass quickly switched into the Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it fiercely towards Lan Si.

Lan Si smiled coldly, stepped forward, and did not use Flash or any other skills. He simply used his soul power, which was roughly equivalent to level 54, in combination with his own powerful physique, to meet the attack with a hammer.

Boom! The two hammers collided, and to the great surprise of the Clear Sky Sect disciples present, Tang San, whose soul ring configuration was far superior to 'Tang Song', did not gain the slightest advantage.

On the VIP platform, a look of surprise flashed across the Second Elder's eyes. He turned to the Seventh Elder and said, "Seventh Elder, it seems that although Tang Song has been somewhat aloof in recent years, he has never neglected his cultivation."

The Seventh Elder nodded in satisfaction. "Indeed."

None of them doubted that the Tang Song in front of them was a fake, because appearances can deceive, but martial spirits cannot.

"So strong." Feeling the recoil force transmitted from the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, Tang San was shocked. He did not expect that Tang Song, who was unremarkable in appearance and whose soul power was even two levels lower than his own, would be so powerful. He had three ten-thousand-year soul rings and two nine-thousand-year soul rings, and the Clear Sky Hammer had already reached a terrifying weight, yet he still could not shake the other party in the slightest.

Lan Si had no intention of getting entangled with Tang San, because he didn't know Tang Song's five soul skills at all. If too much time passed, he would easily expose his flaws and arouse the suspicion of the six titled Douluo on the stage. So he simply used the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

At this time, Tang San had received more than two years of systematic training from Tang Ritian. Lan Si was certain that Tang San had also reached the highest level of the Chaotic Cloak Technique, achieving the state of "Nine Returns to One." The next step was to see who had mastered it better and had greater strength. Lan Si planned to use this move to distinguish their identities.

As expected, upon seeing Lan Si unleash the Chaotic Cloak, Tang San immediately revealed a hint of disdain and also unleashed the Chaotic Cloak.

Chapter 314 The True Form of the Azure Lotus

"Damn it... give me back Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone!" Tang San was even more agitated than Dugu Bo when he saw the red spirit ring, because Lan Si had tricked Xiao Wu into sacrificing herself to get it.

At this moment, Tang San's heart was filled with rage. The white bat pattern on the Clear Sky Hammer, which represented the God of Slaughter Domain, lit up. The dazzling white light transformed into an invisible stream of energy that enveloped his entire body. Relying on the God of Slaughter Domain, he forcefully broke free from Lan Si's soul power suppression. He suddenly leaped into the sky and used the technique of chasing stars and catching the moon to throw the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, aiming directly at Lan Si below.

Boom! The square in front of the Snow Night Emperor's palace trembled, and dust rose everywhere. When the dust settled, following the law of no harm from smoke, Lan Si easily caught the Haotian Hammer, holding the top of the hammer head with his right hand and facing the handle towards Tang San.

"This... how is this possible? He actually caught the Haotian Hammer that I launched using a hidden weapon technique with his bare hands." Tang San exclaimed in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

"That's not how you use the God of Slaughter Domain. Watch closely." A white light shone from Lan Si's body. It was also the God of Slaughter Domain, but its aura was many times stronger than Tang San's. To everyone's astonishment, the white light and orange-red flames covering Lan Si enveloped the Clear Sky Hammer.

With a crack, the surface of the Clear Sky Hammer instantly cracked, and the hammer began to tremble violently. Tang San tried to recall it, but found that he could not move it at all. With a muffled bang, the Clear Sky Hammer shattered into pieces, turning into irregular iron blocks of different sizes, which fell to the ground.

"Pfft..." Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul shattered, and he suffered a backlash, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood. He knelt on the ground, panting heavily, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

The entire audience was stunned, a deathly silence descended. To crush the Clear Sky Hammer with bare hands—no one had expected Lan Si to be this strong. It seemed even a Title Douluo would struggle to achieve such a feat… no, to be precise, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps they could shatter a Clear Sky Hammer only at the Soul Emperor level using their Martial Soul or Soul Skills, but they could never crush it with their bare hands.

At least among the known titled Douluo, no one has ever done it.

"Marshal Ge Long, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you two go to the palace quickly to check if His Majesty is safe. You can leave Old Poison Master and Tang San here to me. Zhu Qing and Ling Ling, you two stay by His Highness's side and protect him." Lan Si said calmly, with his back to Qian Renxue and Ge Long's group.

"I understand, Mr. Lan Si. Please be careful."

"Ah Si, be careful."

Marshal Ge Long and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Then, they led a group of soldiers into the palace, with Little Cat and Ye Lingling following closely behind Qian Renxue.

While everyone was entering the palace, Dugu Bo, who had been waiting for an opportunity to escape, seized the chance, darted to Tang San's side, grabbed Tang San's arm, and tried to flee out of the Heaven Dou Palace.

Just then, hundreds of sharp blades appeared out of thin air in the sky, raining down on Tang San and Dugu Bo.

Every blade was covered with orange-red flames that suppressed Dugu Bo's Jade Scale Serpent Emperor Martial Soul. Helpless, Dugu Bo had no choice but to activate his soul power, which was as high as level ninety-two, to resist.

An even more shocking scene unfolded: the moment the blade touched Dugu Bo's protective soul power, it seemed to possess a powerful corrosive effect. The green light representing Dugu Bo's level 92 soul power burst like a bubble upon contact, then disintegrated.

This caught Dugu Bo somewhat off guard. His figure spun in mid-air, flashing a few times, barely dodging Lan Si's sharp blade. Although he was not seriously injured, he was still left in a sorry state.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this kid? He actually possesses such a strange flame that can suppress my Azure Scale Serpent King..." Dugu Bo cursed inwardly, his gaze towards Lan Si filled with apprehension and solemnity.

"Old Poisoner, you killed so many royal guards in Emperor Xueye's palace. Now that Emperor Xueye's life or death is unknown, it's too presumptuous of you to just leave like this."

Dugu Bo's expression suddenly turned cold as he stared at Lan Si and said in a cold voice, "Young man, don't be so arrogant. With your strength, do you really think you can hurt this old man?"

As he spoke, the seventh spirit ring on Dugu Bo's body suddenly lit up, and the true form of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul erupted.

A nearly thirty-meter-long emerald green snake rose from beneath Dugu Bo's feet, its massive head dragging Dugu Bo and the injured Tang San slowly into the air. It looked down upon Lan Si from its vantage point.

"It's not that I can hurt him, it's that I've already hurt him." Lan Si smiled faintly. Under the horrified gazes of Dugu Bo and Tang San, two beams of light, one red and one white, were released from his hands, and the soul rings that shone with a crystal red light instantly lit up.

The orange-red flames rising from his body suddenly began to spread, reaching a height of over thirty meters in the blink of an eye, finally transforming into a graceful and beautiful figure that landed on a giant ice-blue lotus.

Her bright orange flame dress reached her feet, and her exquisite face was so flawless it was hard to find any imperfections. Her long black hair was dyed red by the flames, and it moved gracefully without wind, making her look almost identical to the grown-up Xiao Wu.

This is Lan Si's seventh soul skill, Azure Lotus True Body. All skills using the Azure Lotus Martial Soul are amplified by 100%, as are his own strength, speed, and strongest attributes. Because of the fusion with Xiao Wu's soul, he can utilize the orange-red flames inherent in the Azure Lotus Martial Soul to condense a massive, solid fire giant, capable of both offense and defense. This allows Lan Si to possess strength comparable to a Title Douluo at the Soul Saint stage.

"Xiao Wu..." Tang San almost roared, wanting to step forward, but Dugu Bo grabbed him, "Little monster, don't be impulsive, rushing in rashly... will kill you."

Dugu Bo's face was solemn. The suppression of Lan Si's two domains on him was beyond imagination. Coupled with the orange-red flames, his strength was suppressed by more than 50%, and even his Martial Soul True Body was difficult to maintain.

"You should worry about yourself first, you old poisoner." Lan Si's voice suddenly rang out behind the two. Without anyone noticing, Lan Si, along with the huge orange-red flame figure, had moved behind them. With a single punch, he sent the two flying off the top of the emerald green snake's head, crashing out of the Snow Night Emperor's palace area and onto the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace square.

This is the additional skill of the third stage of the Azure Lotus Domain, Space Reflection of the Moon: Teleportation, which can only be used in the True Form state of the Martial Soul. The maximum teleportation distance is 300 meters. The soul power consumed depends on the teleportation distance, with a maximum consumption of one percent of the user's original soul power per teleportation.

Chapter 315 Tang Ritian Appears

...North of Tiandou City, the reception hall of the new residence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Dai Mubai met Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun, and explained his purpose to them.

As expected, Oscar firmly refused.

Since Oscar refused, Ning Rongrong naturally couldn't go with him either.

Only Ma Hongjun, also a eunuch, was moved. Although he hated Tang San, he longed to be a complete man again. Having lost his male characteristics and with nowhere to vent his lust, he had been living a life worse than death these past few days, spending his days soaking in ice water to relieve the torment of his lustful desires.

He never wanted to live like that again.

“Fatty, are you really sure? I don’t need to say more about what kind of person Tang San is. Even if the legend of Seagod Island is true, this trip will definitely be fraught with danger. Are you sure Tang San won’t abandon you at the crucial moment?” Oscar looked at Ma Hongjun and asked solemnly.

“I know, but I can’t stand this kind of life anymore. I’m worried that if this continues, I’ll have nowhere to vent my anger and one day I’ll be burned to death,” Ma Hongjun said with a pained expression.

"Don't worry, Oscar, with me here, nothing will happen to Fatty." Dai Mubai put his arm around Ma Hongjun's shoulder and said to Oscar.

"Alright then, I hope everything goes smoothly for you. Be careful in everything. Fatty, you should talk to your father-in-law later. You're now a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so you'll need his approval." Oscar knew about Ma Hongjun's current physical condition and didn't object too much.

Just then, a loud explosion was heard in the distance.

The four rushed out of the reception room at the same time, only to see Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo already standing in the courtyard, their gazes fixed solemnly on the source of the sound.

“Father-in-law, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, where is…” Oscar couldn’t help but ask.

Ning Fengzhi did not answer, but said calmly, "Xiao Ao, you and Rongrong stay in the sect and don't go out. Uncle Gu, I'm leaving the sect in your care. Uncle Jian, let's go to Tian Dou Imperial City."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sword Douluo summoned a flying sword, took Ning Fengzhi on it, and flew rapidly towards the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Tian Dou Imperial Palace Square.

"Damn it, how could that guy be so strong? Little monster, are you alright...?" Dugu Bo clutched his chest as he climbed out of the rubble and dug Tang San out, who had also been shoved into the ruins by Lan Si.

"I'm fine. Old Poison Master, how are you?" Tang San, struggling to his feet despite his injuries, stood up with Dugu Bo's help.

Dugu Bo gave a bitter smile. "Little monster, I'm afraid I'm doomed this time. That kid Lan Si already has strength comparable to a Title Douluo, and I'm being suppressed by him. I'm afraid we'll never be able to leave the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace again."

"It seems you two are quite self-aware." As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Si appeared behind the two of them.

Tang San turned to look at Lan Si, who was inside Xiao Wu's illusory form, his gaze filled with complex emotions. He stood up and questioned, "Why...why are you targeting me like this?"

"Why..." Lan Si laughed, a cold and handsome laugh. "You should know that from the moment you first tried to take my life during the Soul Battle in Soto City, it was all destined. You don't naively think I would let someone who has repeatedly tried to kill me go, do you? Not to mention your father, Tang Ritian, tried to kill me in the Papal Palace last time."

"Then why did you treat Xiao Wu like this? What did she do to offend you?" Tang San questioned again.

"It's simple, the strong prey on the weak. Just like you hunting spirit beasts to increase your strength, having such a fine spirit ring here, it would be foolish not to take it. I think the reason your dead father waited until you reached level 60 before sending you to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Wu was probably so that you could absorb her spirit ring and spirit bone." Lan Si sneered, turning his gaze to Dugu Bo: "Alright, that's enough of the conversation, you old poisoner. Considering your granddaughter's past relationship with me, I can give you a chance. Leave now, otherwise... stay here and die with Tang San."

"Haha..." Dugu Bo laughed, a relieved laugh. He put his hands behind his back, stared coldly at Lan Si, and said in a deep voice, "Lan Si, I must say, I underestimated you, or rather, everyone in the world underestimated you. No one expected that in just five years you would grow to this level, and with such deep cunning. You were even able to devise a scheme to kill with a borrowed knife, clearing the obstacles for Xue Qinghe's ascension to the throne. I must say, you are truly clever; almost nothing escaped your control."

"But you've miscalculated one thing: we're on different paths, so we can't work together. I will never associate with a treacherous and cunning person like you. If you have the guts, then bring it on."

"Using someone else to do your dirty work? I don't understand what you're talking about at all. If you think you can clear your name like this, you're sorely mistaken." Lan Si shrugged slightly, and his first and second soul rings lit up. Forty-nine blue lotuses appeared out of thin air and then transformed into three hundred and ninety-two sharp blades, raining down on Xiang Tang San and Dugu Bo.

Orange-red flames rose from each blade, leaving trails of fire in the air.
