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

The only pity is that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear didn't drop an external soul bone. Otherwise, the kitten's strength could have been even greater.

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

On the other side, in the Sunset Forest.

Tang San and Dugu Bo stood in a forest. At their feet and in their sight were the corpses of soul beasts, some hundreds of years old, some thousands of years old, and even one that was ten thousand years old, totaling no less than forty.

These were all poisoned by Dugu Bo because he found it troublesome. Originally, Dugu Bo only wanted Tang San to choose one of the soul beasts to serve as the fourth soul ring for Blue Silver Grass, and then detoxify the soul beasts. However, he did not expect that Tang San would kill them all at once.

"Hey, little monster, you're going too far. If everyone did what you did, in a few years, I'm afraid there won't be a single soul beast left in Sunset Forest." Dugu Bo couldn't help but click his tongue as he watched Tang San searching through the corpses of many soul beasts.

"That's someone else's business," Tang San said, holding a short sword in his hand as he slashed open the soul beast's corpse.

Seeing Tang San's surgical movements, Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Hey, little monster, you're not trying to get a soul bone with this, are you? I can tell you for sure, it's impossible. Apart from the legendary 100,000-year-old soul beasts that are guaranteed to produce soul bones, the chances of other soul beasts producing soul bones are extremely low, and this is especially true for soul beasts with lower cultivation levels."

"Even if you kill every single soul beast under ten thousand years old in the entire Sunset Forest, you might not be able to get... Oh my god."

Before Dugu Bo could finish speaking, his eyes widened, and his dark green pupils flashed with disbelief. Tang San's short sword sliced ​​open the corpse of a soul beast, and a red light, neither strong nor weak, radiated from the corpse.

Tang San's eyes widened as well. He suppressed his excitement and reached out to pull the red radiation source out of the soul beast's body. A soul bone, fiery red in color and only the size of a child's palm, which he could vaguely recognize as being from the left arm, came into view.

Chapter 133 The Beginning of a Teammate's Trap

"It really is a soul bone, tsk tsk... I say, little guy, your luck is just too good." Dugu Bo walked to Tang San's side, patted him on the shoulder with a click of his tongue in amazement, then looked at the soul bone in Tang San's hand again, and then looked at the soul beast's body, before showing a disappointed expression, "But it's a pity that this soul bone is too young, only a little over nine hundred years old, not even a thousand years old, and it's also fire attribute. It's not compatible with you at all. But it's still a pleasant surprise."

Tang San ignored Dugu Bo and continued to search the corpses of other soul beasts. He hadn't intended to use these low-quality soul bones himself, but rather to give them to Ma Hongjun and Oscar. With the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament approaching, and without the Rooster Crest Phoenix Sunflower and the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, it would be almost impossible for the two of them to advance to Soul Master before the start of the tournament. Therefore, he had to start from other aspects to at least ensure that all six Shrek Monsters would advance to Soul Master.

Only in this way can Shrek Academy stand out in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, and even defeat its nemesis Lan Si and his Royal Fighting Team to win the final championship.

About half an hour later, Tang San had dissected more than forty large and small soul beasts. As expected, his luck was not as good as he had imagined, and he did not obtain a single soul bone.

In the end, only the two-thousand-year-old spider-like soul beast Weaver and the only ten-thousand-year-old soul beast Ghost Eye Jade Lion remained.

"Only these two soul beasts are left. I knew it. Soul bones aren't that easy to obtain. You were just lucky just now," Dugu Bo said calmly.

Looking at the last two spirit beasts, Tang San frowned and asked, "Old Poisoner, besides these, are there any other spirit beasts in this area?"

“That’s it. You’ve killed almost all the spirit beasts that are over a hundred years old around here. If you kill any more, there will only be some ten-year-old spirit beasts left.” Dugu Bo shrugged slightly and said, “And even if there are, unless you use that third condition as an exchange, I will not help you hunt any more spirit beasts. At the rate you’re killing them, you’ll wipe out all the spirit beasts in the entire Sunset Forest.”

"Fine, if that's how it is, then forget it." It's obviously unrealistic to waste the opportunity of becoming a Title Douluo in exchange for killing some soul beasts that are almost impossible to drop soul bones. Tang San took a deep breath, gripped a short sword in each hand, took another deep breath, and with a flash, slashed at the corpses of the two soul beasts.

Hiss!

As the sound of flesh breaking apart rang out, two beams of light, one black and one blue, of different intensities, surged from the corpses of the two soul beasts.

Tang San and Dugu Bo's eyes lit up simultaneously, with Dugu Bo exclaiming in surprise, "Damn, little monster, your luck is incredible! You actually got two soul bones at the same time, and one of them is ten thousand years old! Quick... quick, dig them out and see. If it's a head soul bone or a torso soul bone, you'll be set for life!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San nodded emphatically, reached into the corpses of the two soul beasts with both hands, and dug out their soul bones at the same time.

As the intense light gradually faded, the two were finally able to see the full appearance of the soul bone. Their breathing instantly became rapid.

These are head soul bones, and there are two head soul bones, one of which is even ten thousand years old.

Subconsciously, Dugu Bo clicked his tongue: "Tsk tsk... The head soul bone born from the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast Ghost Eye Jade Lion, if it were given to Yan Yan..."

As soon as Dugu Bo finished speaking, Tang San frowned and looked at Dugu Bo with a wary expression. He said indifferently, "What, old poisoner? You said before that I could choose any of these soul beasts, and that if any of them had anything of value, they would all be mine. You're not planning to go back on your word, are you?"

"You little monster, so you were waiting for me here." Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was taken aback, then laughed and scolded, "Alright, alright, I keep my word. If I say it's yours, it's yours."

Hearing this, Tang San finally felt relieved. To be honest, he had already prepared himself to hand over the soul bone. After all, with Dugu Bo's strength, he would have no way to stop him from forcibly taking it, and might even anger the other party.

"Old Poisoner, what do you think would happen if I absorbed the spirit ring of this ten-thousand-year-old Ghost Eye Jade Lion to serve as the fourth spirit ring for Blue Silver Grass?" Putting away the spirit bone, Tang San skipped over the previous topic.

Dugu Bo's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "You will die. There is absolutely no chance of survival. The third soul ring I know belongs to the absorption beyond the age limit, but the ten-thousand-year soul ring is different from the thousand-year soul ring. Not only is the energy within the soul ring far greater than that of the thousand-year soul ring, but when you absorb it, it will also be accompanied by soul vibration. With your current physique and mental strength, you simply cannot withstand the backlash of the ten-thousand-year soul ring."

Upon hearing this, Tang San fell silent. He knew better than anyone else about his current capacity to withstand the energy. Even if he managed to withstand the immense energy of the ten-thousand-year soul ring by relying on the external soul bone, he would still be completely helpless against the soul shock.

Thinking of this, his hatred for the thief who stole the immortal herb that should have belonged to him grew even stronger.

If he had the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot to refine his body, and the Autumn Water Dew to enhance his spiritual power, then he would definitely be able to acquire the ability to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring and become the first genius soul master in history to reach the fourth soul ring of ten thousand years.

"Old Poisoner, besides this Ghost-Eyed Jade Lion, what other soul beast has the highest age?" Tang San asked with a gloomy expression.

“That cave spider is about 6,500 years old, which is 1,500 years beyond the limit of an ordinary soul master. Even for you, it would be extremely risky.” Dugu Bo pointed and said with a solemn expression, “Are you really planning to absorb it?”

"More than 1,500 years..." Tang San pondered for a moment, then stopped talking and resolutely walked towards the cave spider, answering the question with his actions.

Watching Tang San's stubborn back, Dugu Bo did not stop him. Putting aside Lan Si, whom he had never met, Tang San could be said to be the most outstanding young soul master he had ever seen. If he could absorb more soul rings beyond his age limit after the third soul ring, he would create a miracle.

He has a bright future ahead of him.

As Tang San walked toward the Cave Demon Spider, even Dugu Bo did not notice that a towering figure stood atop the cliff hundreds of meters behind him.

The imposing figure stood there with a stern face, silently watching Tang San until Tang San's fourth purple spirit ring appeared and he completed the absorption. Only then did his expression soften, a smile appearing on his lips. The next instant, he vanished from the spot.

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

One day later.

Heaven Dou City, Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Apart from Tang San, the remaining five Shrek Monsters sat around a huge conference table.

Chapter 134 Shrek's Recent Situation

"Xiao Wu, why did Master call us here! And Third Brother too, he clearly said he'd be back in about ten months, but it's been over a year and we haven't seen him at all. The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament is only three months away." Ning Rongrong lay on the conference table, her delicate hand supporting her cheek, and said to Xiao Wu with a bored expression.

At this moment, Xiao Wu's condition was clearly not right; she was worried and listless.

It wasn't just because they were worried about Tang San, but more so because they were worried about the Soul Master Competition that Ning Rongrong had mentioned.

As a member of the Shrek Six Devils, her soul power is second only to Dai Mubai and Tang San, who have already broken through to the Soul Master level, so she will definitely make an appearance.

Unfortunately, she was a young transformed soul beast. Before her soul power broke through level 70, any Soul Douluo or higher could see through her soul beast identity.

On the day of the Soul Master Competition, such an important event will undoubtedly see the three Soul Douluo instructors from the Heaven Dou Royal Family in person. It's even possible that a Title Douluo like Dugu Bo might attend.

Once they go on stage to compete, their secret will be exposed 100% of the time.

This matter left her utterly perplexed.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..." Seeing that Xiao Wu was in a daze and did not answer, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but push her.

Xiao Wu then realized what was happening, "Ah... what did you say?"

"Xiao Wu, are you alright? I've noticed that you've been looking increasingly pale lately." Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu with a strange expression.

Xiao Wu felt a little guilty under Ning Rongrong's gaze. Just as she thought Ning Rongrong suspected her identity, she heard Ning Rongrong say, "Is it because Third Brother hasn't come back that you miss him?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu realized that her suspicions were unnecessary, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the meeting room door opened, and Yu Xiaogang's familiar voice rang out from outside, "It seems everyone has arrived."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang walked in with a robust young man.

The young man's gaze swept around the reception room, and when he saw Xiao Wu, his eyes lit up instantly. "Hi, Xiao Wu, we meet again."

Xiao Wu frowned and said to Yu Xiaogang, "Master, why did you bring this guy here?"

The young man was none other than Tyrion, the young master of the Power Clan and the grandson of the old Titan.

Just like in the original story, from the moment he first saw Xiao Wu, this big guy, Talon, fell deeply in love with this 100,000-year-old legal loli and couldn't extricate himself.

Without a doubt, Xiao Wu rejected him.

However, due to Lan Si's intervention, Tang San returned to Shrek Academy only three to five days after being captured by Dugu Bo. During this period, the Shrek Six Monsters had not yet officially started classes, so Tai Long had not seen Xiao Wu, and thus there was no conflict as in the original story.

Therefore, Tailong relentlessly pursued Xiaowu, which annoyed her greatly.

Tailong was like a fly; Xiaowu tried everything—hitting him, scolding him—but he wouldn't leave. Before long, he'd be back.

"Talon, watch your step." Yu Xiaogang knew a little about Talon's crush on Xiao Wu. He frowned, sternly reprimanded Talon, and then said to the Shrek Five Monsters, "The minimum number of participants in the Soul Master Competition is seven. Because Zhu Qing went to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Flander and I have been looking for a monster student to replace Zhu Qing for more than a year, but we haven't been able to find one."

"With the tournament just around the corner, we have no choice but to settle for second best. Talon's talent may not be as great as yours, but his strength is still quite formidable among those of the same level. Alright, Talon, please introduce yourself."

"Yes, Master." Tailong was very dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang's statement that he was inferior to the Shrek Six Monsters, but with Liu Erlong and Flander, two Soul Saints, standing behind Yu Xiaogang, he dared not lash out. He then introduced himself arrogantly: "Tailong, Martial Soul: Mighty Gorilla, Level 37 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Age: 24."

As he spoke, Tyrone summoned his Mighty Ape Martial Soul, with three optimally configured Soul Rings—two yellow and one purple—rising from his feet, their dazzling light swirling around his body.

"Oh ho... Level 37, not bad at all!" Dai Mubai heard the disdain in Tailong's voice and knew that the other party wanted to give them a hard time. He sneered, summoned his White Tiger Martial Soul, and said to Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, "Brothers, it seems that this guy looks down on us Shrek Six Monsters. Come on, let's give him a surprise by activating our Martial Souls. We'll also tell him our ages while we're at it."

"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul White Tiger, Level 42 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Age 17."

As soon as Dai Mubai finished speaking, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun each summoned their own martial souls.

"Xiao Wu, Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit, Level 39 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Age: 14."

"Ning Rongrong, her martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she is a level 36 support-type weapon spirit master, and her age is fourteen."

"Ma Hongjun, Martial Soul: Evil Fire Phoenix, Level 37 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Age: 14."

"Oscar, Martial Soul: Sausage, Level 38 Food-type Spirit Master. Age: Sixteen."

Dai Mubai's spirit ring configuration is two yellow and two purple, while the other four people's spirit ring configuration is two yellow and one purple. Without a doubt, they are also the best spirit ring configurations.

"This...this is impossible. You are all so young, how could your soul power be so high?" Looking at the soul rings flashing on the five people, Tyrone exclaimed in shock, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

"What's impossible about that? We Shrek Seven Devils... oh no, the Six Devils, we're not human, we're monsters. If you saw Third Brother's strength, you'd probably be even more speechless with fear," said Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix of the Brothel, with a sneer.

"Third Brother? Who is he? Is he also from our academy? How come I've never heard of him?" Tailong looked puzzled, because he had never met Tang San before due to Lan Si's involvement.

"Third Brother, you don't even know?" Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with disdain. "The so-called Third Brother is Tang San, who is Xiao Wu's boyfriend. So, Xiao Wu will never like you, so just give up on that idea."

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Xiao Wu blushed and couldn't help but scoff, but offered no explanation.
