Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

To Xiao Wu's surprise, her scorpion braid failed to get around Tang San's neck. Just as it was about to be wrapped around his neck, a force dissipated the force and caused it to slip off.

She quickly moved aside, but the Blue Silver Grass that she had anticipated did not land on her. Instead of moving away, Tang San quickly moved closer, and he didn't seem to have any intention of using his soul skill.

What does he mean by that?

Xiao Wu and Tang San's figures intersected in mid-air, their eyes meeting. Their blood-red eyes and purple demonic pupils reflected each other's images. For a moment, they both felt a strange sense of familiarity, but then they quickly adjusted their mindset to fight.

After landing again, Xiao Wu quickly responded, turning around and kicking out with a speed as fast as a shooting star. This series of movements was so smooth and fast that the Blue Tyrant team hadn't even had time to react.

Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul isn't particularly strong; it's somewhere between a strong attack and an agile attack. Most of her Soul Skills are melee-based, but this also makes her melee burst speed incredibly fast. She's confident that she can finish this combo and still leave without her opponent being able to catch a trace of her.

However, Tang San's reactions made her wary, and she secretly decided that if she missed again, she would rather retreat quickly than continue to entangle with this guy.

Tang San and Xiao Wu both had incredibly fast close-combat burst speeds. Just before they were about to collide, Tang San suddenly slipped, narrowly avoiding Xiao Wu's rabbit kick.

At this moment, the distance between the two was less than half a meter, and a faint smile appeared on Tang San's lips. The Blue Silver Grass in his right palm suddenly grew rapidly, and a vine as thick as a baby's arm had spread to a length of three meters in the blink of an eye.

Instead of using the Entangling Technique, he struck directly at Xiao Wu's body. At the same time, a clump of Blue Silver Grass rose from behind Tang San, weaving into a large net in the air and covering Xiao Wu's back.

However, the next instant, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He hadn't expected that Xiao Wu, who had failed to kick, would suddenly spin around and kick his arm at a bizarre angle in mid-air, the twisting of the joint completely defying human anatomy.

Although Blue Silver Grass accurately struck Xiao Wu's shoulder, it was deflected by her joint lock, which resembled yoga techniques. He then saw Xiao Wu, who was twisted in mid-air, quickly return to normal and unleash a barrage of powerful slams upon him.

"Pfft~~~"

Tang San was beaten so badly by Xiao Wu's waist arch and explosive slam technique that he spat out blood. However, this guy was also quite experienced in actual combat. In an instant, he realized the problem. He quickly stabilized his body in mid-air and used all his soul power and Tang Sect techniques to dodge the continuous attacks.

Tang San suddenly slammed his legs down into the ground in mid-air, and using the momentum, he finally met Xiao Wu's kicking feet at an odd angle with his hands. His wrists twitched slightly, and his arms each drew a strange arc.

Xiao Wu immediately sensed something was wrong. The force she exerted through her legs seemed to have encountered a soft barrier, leaving her feeling powerless. To her even greater surprise, the momentum of her movement nearly caused her to stumble and lose her balance.

This is the effect of the Ghostly Shadow Step combined with the Crane Control Dragon Capture technique. Although Tang San has been trapped by the Spirit Hall for years, he has never stopped trying to escape his predicament and has been constantly improving his strength.

Since it was difficult to improve his strength as a Soul Master, he kept working on techniques. He also had an advantage that others didn't have: his memories from his past life.

He suddenly realized that he had overlooked many of his originally powerful abilities. Soul skills were indeed useful, direct, and simple, but it seemed that his Tang Sect's unique skills were also quite formidable.

The world where his Tang Sect was located in his previous life was relatively advanced. At least the things recorded in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu were not weak. In addition, Xiao Wu's practical combat experience was indeed inferior to Tang San's, which is why she suffered this loss.

Just as Xiao Wu was about to lose her balance, Tang San vanished from her sight in an instant. Immediately afterward, she felt a chill run down her spine and sensed a powerful force surging towards her. The next moment, she too disappeared from the spot.

Tang San's reaction and fighting style were indeed exquisite, but after all, it was his first time fighting Xiao Wu, and he didn't know much about this girl. At the beginning, Xiao Wu had the upper hand, so in the end, the rabbit girl was still able to easily escape unscathed.

"You mistress, you didn't~"

Not long after Xiao Wu was forced back by Tang San, Dai Mubai and others rushed to Tang San's side. Just as they were about to speak, Tai Long in the back row suddenly felt a chill on his back. He quickly pushed Oscar and the other two teammates away from their original positions.

"Wow!"

The next moment, a strange cry, like the cry of a crane, rang out above Tyrone's head. Immediately afterward, a blurry shadow flashed by, passing through the spot where Oscar and the other two had been standing, and then quickly changed direction to chase after them. It was Bai Chenxiang, the fastest among them.

"Damn it! One after another, when will this end?! Ughhhhh!"

This repeated harassment filled Dai Mubai with rage. He roared and turned around to unleash the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave. A ball of light hurtled towards Bai Chenxiang who was chasing him at an extremely fast speed. Immediately afterward, he activated his fourth soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower.

A shower of light, like shooting stars, covered Oscar and the others. Fortunately, Tang San released vines at the crucial moment and pulled the three of them back. Otherwise, Oscar and the others would have been caught in the area of ​​damage.

"Nine Treasures says: Quickly!"

Dai Mubai's two offensive soul skills were both light-based skills with extremely high speed, and they were released in the White Tiger Vajra Transformation state. Even someone as fast as Bai Chenxiang could not completely avoid them. However, at this moment, a nine-colored divine light fell on Bai Chenxiang.

"call out!"

Bai Chenxiang's speed suddenly increased, and with agile movement, she dodged the gaps in multiple light skills, finally escaping Dai Mubai's skill range unscathed and landing on the treetop.

All of this happened very quickly. From the moment Tailong reacted to the attack to Bai Chenxiang's successful escape, less than ten seconds had passed. In the end, Dai Mubai's two soul skills were ineffective, and he became even more irritable.

"Mu Bai, don't be angry, they've all shown up."

Tang San remained calm at this moment, comforting Dai Mubai while looking at the treetops in all directions. At this moment, seven figures were scattered in different positions on the tall treetops, looking down at them from above.

"Everyone be careful, prepare for battle."

As Tang San shouted, he launched the first attack. The seven Blue Silver Grasses shimmered with a purplish-red light under the sunlight, shooting into the sky like seven rainbows.

"Highly poisonous. You think you're being funny by playing with poison in front of me?"

Dugu Yan, perched atop a treetop, watched the unusual light shimmering on Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, a playful smile playing on her lips.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was indeed highly poisonous. The Mandragora Snake, Ghost Vine, Human-Faced Demon Spider, and Demon Eye Tree were all soul beasts containing highly poisonous substances. Such poison was enough to kill an ordinary soul master. However, he was facing Dugu Yan.

The snake beauty waved her hands in the sky, and a cloud of emerald venom was released into the air. The gray poisonous mist spread rapidly, and when the blue silver grass spread over, it was instantly corroded away.

"Fatty, use fire."

Tang San was shocked to see his Blue Silver Grass being dealt with so quickly. He was an expert in poisons and originally thought that Dugu Yan's poison was just ordinary Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom. However, since his Blue Silver Grass was so easily destroyed, he knew that conventional methods could not be used.

"Third Brother, it's no use, I still feel dizzy..."

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Ma Hongjun immediately unleashed his fire skill, and a sea of ​​fire quickly engulfed the poisonous mist. However, the next moment he sensed something was wrong; he seemed to smell something, and his overall condition deteriorated.

Chapter 386 Haotian's True Form

"Trouble. Her poison is not ordinary Jade Phosphorus Snake venom. It has reached a point where it is inextricably linked to water and fire. Fatty's fire has actually enhanced the power of the poisonous mist."

Tang San quickly realized how troublesome Dugu Yan was. Even as a master of poisons from his previous life, he felt that this was a difficult situation.

Given enough time and opportunity, he was confident he could handle Dugu Yan, but this was an elite competition, and his options were limited.

The Elite Tournament is not an unrestricted arena competition; methods other than the Soul Master's abilities cannot be used. Although Tang San has a strong ability to counteract poisons, he still needs materials to assist him, so using those at this time is simply unrealistic.

"You all quickly step back and use your soul power to seal your mouths and noses to prevent the poison from spreading."

Tang San shouted for his team to retreat first, while he himself faced the spreading poisonous fog. With half of his methods ineffective, he prepared to use some special methods.

The moment Dugu Yan's poisonous mist enveloped Tang San, eight thick, ferocious long legs immediately sprouted from his back.

Each of these long legs is over four meters long, as thick as an arm, and gleams with a purplish-black sheen. The slightly curved barbs gleam with a cold light, and each long leg is divided into two sections, with the sharpest tip resembling an indestructible spear.

"This guy's external soul bone can neutralize my deadly poison."

Dugu Yan looked at the eight ferocious spider spears behind Tang San, shocked but not forgetting to remind her teammates, "Everyone be careful, his soul bone also contains a deadly poison."

The two teams of soul masters present were not completely bewildered by Tang San's sudden change, since they had some prior knowledge of him, though they were not entirely clear on some details.

However, this scene, projected onto the field, caused a huge uproar. Many people could guess that Tang San's transformation was due to a soul bone, which made it even more unbelievable to many.

As the dark horse team of this year's Tiandou competition, Blue Tyrant Academy has attracted much attention since it entered the finals. Tang San's wonderful performance and novel methods in the competition have also refreshed everyone's understanding of him, making more people pay attention to him.

However, before this, everyone already had a good understanding of Tang San's methods. Regardless of the second spirit that appeared during his competition with Feng Xiaotian, everyone was familiar with Tang San's several famous spirit skills and had a good understanding of his strength.

However, just when everyone thought there was a way to easily subdue this guy, he actually produced another soul bone, and it looked to be a soul bone with extremely powerful abilities, which immediately refreshed everyone's impression.

Although this was the first time his Eight Spider Lances had appeared, the fact that Dugu Yan was so alarmed clearly meant that this was no ordinary soul bone.

The appearance of the Eight Spider Lances immediately made Tang San feel lighter all over. The amplification brought by the external soul bone of the Eight Spider Lances directly raised Tang San's strength to a whole level, and also gave him the capital to compete with the top experts of the Elite Tournament.

Previously, due to the disadvantages in the attributes and strength of his martial soul, Tang San, relying solely on his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, found it difficult to fight against soul masters like Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, who were very effective against his attributes. However, after releasing his external soul bone, he not only overcame his disadvantages but also had the opportunity to leverage his strengths.

This was the first time the Eight Spider Lances had appeared on the Elite Tournament stage, and it was also one of the few times Tang San had used them directly after obtaining this soul bone.

This soul bone from the Human-Faced Demon Spider is extremely powerful, but it also has some side effects. Moreover, Tang San has always regarded it as his last trump card. Except for when Yan forced him to reveal it at Blue Tyrant Academy, he kept his external soul bone very well hidden before and after that. Even his fellow team members did not know about his soul bone's abilities.

When he obtained the Demon Eye Tree Soul Ring, he also asked Liu Erlong to capture a ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider so that he could absorb energy to strengthen his soul bone. The Eight Spider Spears, an external soul bone that can evolve, was strengthened by him to the current limit that it can bear, far exceeding that of ordinary soul bones.

In the previous matches, although Blue Tyrant Academy had experienced occasional setbacks, they had generally had a smooth run except when they were directly defeated by Tianshui. Therefore, under Tang San's deliberate control, he always retained his powerful ability.

However, Dugu Yan's strength this time exceeded his expectations. As an expert in poison, he knew better than anyone how troublesome it would be if the poison's power spread in a group battle. Therefore, he had no choice but to use this last trump card to deal with and break through the situation.

Within the Azure Phosphorous Poison Mist, Tang San fully unleashed the power of his soul bone. The blue-glowing soul bone continuously absorbed the poisonous mist, yet the extremely venomous Azure Phosphorous Serpent Venom could not harm Tang San in the slightest.

The four spider legs lifted Tang San's body into the air, making the Eight Spider Spears, now four meters long, look even more terrifying, especially the added barbs, which were covered with a layer of blue light.

The potent poison contained within not only originated from the Human-Faced Demon Spider, but also from Tang San's various modification experiments. In this respect, even Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, was inferior to Tang San in the art of poisons.

Moreover, Tang San's Eight Spider Lances are external soul bones that can evolve. The soul bone ability he inherited is the devouring ability of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which can evolve by devouring the energy of living beings.

Tang San, who wanted to quickly improve his strength, naturally didn't care about principles. He devoured a lot of human-faced demon spiders while acquiring his fourth spirit ring, allowing the Eight Spider Lances to evolve to the limit that he could currently bear.

The Eight Spider Lances are now not only larger, but also more resilient and terrifying, which gives Tang San more confidence to win.

"Hu~~"

Just as Tang San tensed his Eight Spider Lances, preparing to leap and attack, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped rapidly, and snowflakes began to fall. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he abruptly turned his head to look in another direction.

"This is another Soul King. Ice abilities, even more powerful than Shui Bing'er's. What kind of martial soul is this?"

Tang San stared in bewilderment at the girl on the treetop above who had changed the environment with a mere wave of her hand. She wore a white dress, had blue hair, and five spirit rings that pulsed rhythmically. Her azure eyes were like the ocean, and with just a slight movement, she made Tang San feel immense pressure.

The girl had a golden trident mark on her forehead. Looking at that mark, Tang San suddenly felt a strange sense of loss, as if he had lost something. He had the same strange feeling when he saw the pink rabbit girl earlier.

The girl who changed the environment with a wave of her hand was naturally Bai Xiuxiu, who came from Seagod Island. After experiencing two transformations in the far north and Seagod Island, she transformed from a soul beast with 70,000 years of cultivation into a five-ring soul king. At this moment, as she released her martial soul, a clear ice-blue shark figure appeared behind her.

"Roar~~~"

Behind Bai Xiuxiu, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Martial Soul roared, and wave after wave of blue light waves surged like an endless tide, constantly releasing extreme cold power. Tang San, who was directly confronting it, suffered the most, and the other members of the Blue Tyrant Team also felt extremely difficult.

Bai Xiuxiu's Demon Soul Great White Shark is a top-tier soul beast. She has also refined the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, a rare treasure of creation, to transform herself. Furthermore, she has undergone several divine trials on Seagod Island, and her ice and water abilities have reached the level of ultimate attributes.

Bai Xiuxiu's ice and water abilities are actually similar to the Ren (Yang) water and Gui (Yin) water abilities of the Five Elements Continent. The ultimate Yin water is the ultimate ice of the Douluo Continent, and the ultimate Yang water is the ultimate water of the Douluo Continent.

The ability she is currently using is the ultimate ice attribute, with a temperature extremely close to absolute zero. Combined with her area-of-effect domain ability, even without releasing a single soul ring or soul skill, she has already put the seven students from Blue Tyrant Academy in danger.

"This is a domain, and it's very likely an ability with extreme attributes. There's simply no way to deal with it."

Behind Tang San, Tai Long and the others struggled to resist, but the waves of blue light that kept engulfing them were too terrifying. Even Ma Hongjun, who possessed purple-red flames, was shivering from the cold and had no way to deal with it.

"Oh!"

At this moment, Tang San, who had been standing at the forefront of everyone, seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. His body trembled, he unleashed his soul power, and quickly landed beside everyone.

"The fat man enveloped everyone in flames, gathering all our strength for a final desperate attack."

As Tang San spoke, he released his fourth soul skill, Myriad Branches. Countless vines rose up and quickly piled up to form a vine wall. Ma Hongjun's flames quickly rolled out and covered and enveloped everyone, temporarily maintaining their body temperature.

Without further hesitation, the seven members of the Blue Tyrant Team quickly moved and formed a formation, standing in a straight line, with their soul power converging. Finally, Dai Mubai transferred all the remaining soul power to Tang San at the very front.

"This is... a seven-in-one fusion technique?"

The actions of Tang San and his seven companions were naturally broadcast live by the Spirit Hall's projection soul tool. The intense fluctuations in soul power immediately shocked many people.

This method of combining the soul power of seven people into one person is not something that ordinary people can do. Before this, it seemed that only the Spirit Hall had such a method, but unexpectedly, even the little me, Lan Ba, could do it, which really surprised many people.

Tang San's left hand moved, and a round of dark light instantly bloomed. The Clear Sky Hammer flew out from below, without any rotation, and rushed straight in one direction.

As Tang San made his move, a thunderous roar resounded from the Clear Sky Hammer. The small hammer, which was originally not very big, suddenly swelled in the air, and in an instant, the hammerhead became as big as a water tank.
