Chapter 193 He just overturned the pot after he was full? Isn't that the worst kind of beast?
Upon hearing the master's words, Tang San's eyes suddenly gleamed with immense excitement. He quickly calculated in his mind, then blurted out:
"Teacher, you're right! It often takes ordinary Soul Masters months or even years to cultivate to the next level, but I can directly increase my Soul Power simply by adding Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer!"
At this point, he excitedly counted on his fingers as he analyzed the situation.
"My current soul power level is 42. If I absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring in the first ring of the Clear Sky Hammer, my soul power level will increase by at least 4 levels. If I absorb another ten-thousand-year soul ring in the second ring, I can increase by another 4 levels. That way, I can instantly reach level 50!"
"Then we'll add a ten-thousand-year soul ring to the fifth ring of the Blue Silver Grass, and then continue adding the third and fourth rings to the Clear Sky Hammer... Maybe we can break through to level 60 within a year!"
Tang San became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice trembling.
"My brother is only at the Soul King level right now. Once I cultivate both of my martial souls and add soul rings, it will only be a matter of time before I surpass him."
The master laughed heartily, raised his hand to pat Tang San on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction in his eyes:
"Little San, you truly live up to your reputation as my disciple, Yu Xiaogang! You grasp things so quickly!"
"I told you long ago not to be upset about losing to Tang Chuan. You have twin martial souls, one in ten thousand. How can a soul master with his aptitude compare to you?"
Tang San nodded proudly, looking extremely confident and relaxed. However, at that moment, he seemed to remember something and said in a deep voice:
"Teacher, my strength has improved by leaps and bounds, but my teammates' cultivation has stagnated. They might hold me back during the competition."
"However, I have a plan that can help my teammates improve their skills quickly."
"Oh? You mistress, you have a plan too?"
Upon hearing this, the master showed curiosity and leaned forward slightly, saying, "Tell me quickly."
Tang San raised his right arm, and an ominous, dark light shone from beneath his sleeve. He then lightly stroked the area emitting the eerie glow and sneered:
"Teacher, this spider-like right arm bone of mine was obtained by my father after he slaughtered dozens of spider-like soul beasts that were over ten thousand years old in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"You said that the deeper the resentment of a soul beast before it dies, the greater the chance of it producing a soul bone."
"In that case, why don't we slaughter thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in this Sunset Forest? As long as we produce a few soul bones, wouldn't Mu Bai and the others' strength problem be solved?"
…………
A few hours later, the last rays of the setting sun shone through the dense canopy of trees, casting dappled light and shadow on the leaf-strewn forest floor.
The evening in the sunset forest always carries a subtle chill.
Dugu Bo watched as the pale blue aura of his domain slowly receded from Tang Chuan's body. There was no surprise on his face, but a hint of understanding flashed in his blue eyes.
Clearly, Tang Chuan had not been able to locate the Thorn Rock Turtle using the Blue Silver Domain.
"Boy, your Blue Silver Domain is indeed wondrous, capable of sensing life and probing soul power." Dugu Bo's voice, tinged with his characteristic hoarseness and a hint of mockery, deepened as he spoke:
"But the Thorn Rock Turtle is an anomaly among earth and stone attribute spirit beasts. Its greatest strength is not only defense, but also stealth."
"Hidden? You mean..." Tang Chuan looked at Dugu Bo, his face full of doubt.
"Hmph." Dugu Bo snorted lightly.
"Ordinary soul beasts emit their aura and have obvious life fluctuations, so your domain can easily detect them. But this Thorn Rock Turtle, when it lies still, can completely assimilate its aura with the surrounding rocks and soil, and its soul power is contained within, almost non-existent. It doesn't seem like a living creature, but more like a real, thorny rock. Although your domain is strong, if it intends to hide, you will only see it as ordinary terrain when you sweep over it."
Upon hearing this, the Shi brothers standing to the side showed expressions of disappointment and anxiety.
Stone Mill couldn't help but speak up:
"Dean, what... what should we do? Is it really impossible to find it?"
Dugu Bo glanced at them, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, and said:
"If others came looking for you, they might really have returned empty-handed. But you two are lucky today, having this old man accompany you to Sunset Forest."
Before he finished speaking, and without any apparent gesture, a subtle yet powerful pressure quietly spread out from him.
This wasn't a murderous aura directed at Tang Chuan or the Shi brothers, but rather a higher level of presence, like a sleeping king awakening and surveying his territory.
"The power of a domain isn't something only you possess now. After my Azure Phosphorous Serpent King evolved into the Azure Phosphorous Divine Dragon with your help, it also gained a domain-like ability."
Dugu Bo glanced at Tang Chuan first, then his emerald eyes flashed slightly, and he said seriously:
"Sometimes, the best way to deal with these guys who hide in the corners is not to find them, but to force them to come."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the surrounding forest changed abruptly.
The chirping of insects and birds that had been going on suddenly stopped.
An invisible pressure emanated from Dugu Bo's body, quickly enveloping the area and spreading outwards, as if the air itself had become viscous.
This is a deterrent originating from top predators, a mental pressure at the level of a Title Douluo, precisely controlled within a certain range. It is not an indiscriminate attack, but rather a targeted stimulation of the instinctive fears of those powerful soul beasts that are deeply hidden and possess a certain level of intelligence.
Tang Chuan immediately understood Dugu Bo's intention.
This is not only stirring up trouble, but also a warning to others!
Under the deliberate pressure of a Title Douluo, any soul beast worthy of fear would instinctively react, either fleeing or... adopting a defensive stance!
Sure enough, about a kilometer away from them, a seemingly ordinary hillside covered with jagged rocks and low shrubs suddenly underwent an extremely subtle change.
The surfaces of several rocks appeared to tremble very slightly; if one did not look closely, one would almost think it was an illusion of light and shadow.
Immediately afterwards, a wave of soul power, as solid as a mountain and carrying a sharp sense of resistance, rippled outwards like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
"Found it!"
With a sharp look in his eyes, Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Domain was activated once again. This time, with a clear target, his perception immediately became clear.
Beneath those rocks, indeed, lurked a being with extremely strong vitality, whose soul power attribute resonated faintly with the Xuanwu Turtle Martial Soul of the Shi brothers.
…………
In another corner of the Sunset Forest, the air was thick with an overwhelming stench of blood.
The once vibrant forest clearing has now been turned into a scene of carnage.
Looking around, the ground was littered with the corpses of soul beasts, from hundred-year-old Shadow Wolves to thousand-year-old Cave Demon Spiders, and even several enormous ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts such as the Mountain Rock Giant Rhinoceros, all lying in pools of blood, lifeless.
Their deaths were extremely tragic, and many were not killed by a single blow.
Instead, it bore obvious signs of torture.
Tang San stood in the center of the corpses, holding a gleaming blade in his hand.
Before him, a steel-bristled wild boar with a thousand years of cultivation was still emitting faint mournful cries. Its limbs had been severed, and its massive body was covered with deep wounds that exposed the bone.
Not far away, Flander watched this scene with a furrowed brow. Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward, saying:
"Hey, stop! You asked us to capture soul beasts for you, and this is how you torture and kill them to extract their bones... this is like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!"
"Soul beasts don't grow easily, especially high-age soul beasts, which are the foundation of the forest. If everyone were like you, indiscriminately killing for the slim chance of obtaining a soul bone, I'm afraid that in just a few years, there wouldn't be many decent soul beasts left in the entire Sunset Forest!"
"What will future Soul Masters do if they want to obtain suitable Soul Rings? Won't the inheritance of our Soul Master world be interrupted?"
"You can't just eat your fill and then flip the pot over so no one else can eat, can you?"
"This is related to... animals..."
Flanders was about to say, "What's the difference between this and being an animal?"
But in the end, he didn't say it.
However, despite Flander's dissuasion, Tang San's hands did not falter in the slightest, and his face showed not a trace of guilt. Instead, he sneered with an almost twisted sense of self-righteousness:
"Dean, you're worrying too much. What business is it of ours whether others can find suitable spirit rings in the future?"
"The law of the jungle is the survival of the fittest. Soul beasts are resources; if we are strong, they should naturally be used by us! As long as the people of Shrek Academy can become stronger and stand at the top of the continent, what does sacrificing this forest and the opportunities for future generations of soul masters matter?"
As he spoke, he even glanced at the master not far away.
At the same time, he asked in a tone that sought validation:
"Teacher, do you think I'm right? The path of a Soul Master is about pursuing ultimate power; it shouldn't be about being unconcerned with trivialities, should it?"
