Chapter 4: Tenseigan Soul Robe Mode!
"Run!"
Before Tang Chen could react, his body was propelled into a run.
"Uh, what's going on?"
"Stop talking nonsense, keep running!"
The girl cried out again, pulling Tang Chen's hand even tighter, increasing their speed considerably.
The dense trees in the forest did nothing to hinder her progress.
Tang Chen felt a bit strained; this kind of super-fast dash was very taxing on his stamina, so he could only use his soul power to enhance his strength.
The discomfort in his body disappeared, and he could finally check the current situation.
The girl wore a pink short skirt, white stockings, and leather shoes, exuding a charm beyond her years.
The monster chasing behind them was also clearly captured by the Reincarnation Eye.
A terrifying giant snake, over ten meters long, with a crested head and fleshy membrane, was rapidly darting through the trees.
It was clearly faster than them; catching up was only a matter of time.
"Girl, what's going on?"
Tang Chen was slightly nervous; the first soul beast he had encountered in this world was actually a thousand-year-old Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.
"I only stole its food, but it chased me relentlessly for ages!"
The little girl glanced at the rabbit in her hand, her steps unwavering.
"A rabbit?" Tang Chen thought of the rabbit in DouluoContinent and couldn't help but think of Xiao Wu.
Could it be her?
Calculating the time, the day of Martial Soul Awakening was in a few days, and the start of Notting Academy was also approaching.
So Xiao Wu would likely arrive early; it was definitely her.
Otherwise, who would offend a thousand-year-old soul beast for a rabbit?
"Hiss~"
Just as he was pondering, the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent behind him suddenly hissed, and countless purple lights surged from its crest.
This was its unique ability, releasing the nutrients within its crest to accelerate.
Swoosh~
The Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, bursting forth, instantly closed the distance between them. Then, its tail slammed into the ground, and it pounced like an arrow.
Its enormous mouth was like an abyss, easily capable of swallowing two children.
"You go first!"
Tang Chen pushed Xiao Wu aside with force, turned around, and unleashed all his soul power.
The Divine Tree Martial Soul appeared behind him, followed by his first soul ring.
"Sand Release: Shukaku Shield!"
The sand gourd behind him exploded, turning into countless yellow sands that condensed in front of him, forming a humanoid shield more than three meters tall.
It was covered with dense red patterns, the strongest defensive move in Sand Release.
Bang!
The Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent had no time to dodge and crashed into it.
Yellow sand scattered everywhere, and the serpent's head completely disappeared, but the Shukaku Shield remained sturdy.
Moreover, due to the excessive force of the impact, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent actually fell into a coma.
"What?"
Tang Chen was completely dumbfounded. Was this thousand-year-old soul beast really defeated just like that?
It wasn't just a Soul Venerable level; at least a Soul Master level would be needed for a guaranteed win.
This scene was a bit bizarre. Even Xiao Wu, who had run a short distance away, stared at the Shukaku Shield in shock.
In the past, this kind of soul beast was like an ant in front of her, but now it wasn't even enough to fill her teeth.
But this little brat took down a thousand-year-old soul beast in one move?
"Forget it, this thing died because it was stupid, it can't blame anyone else!"
"Sand Release: Sand Rain!"
Dense sand blades shot out, all landing on the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.
Clang clang clang clang~
The expected piercing of the heart by a thousand blades did not occur; all the sand blades were deflected by the scales.
"Roar~"
Moreover, the attack awakened the crested serpent, which began to frantically twist its body, trying to pull its head out.
"As expected, it's not that easy!"
Tang Chen was not too disappointed. This world has a strict hierarchy, and his soul power is only level ten, so the damage caused by Sand Release is limited.
"Sand Release: Sand Binding Coffin!"
Since the attack was ineffective, then he would just trap it to death. Sand Release is best at this.
Shukaku's Shield changed its form, enveloping the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent like liquid.
"Roar~"
Hissing continued to ring out. The creature that usually bound others was now tasting the same thing.
Tang Chen clenched his fists tightly, the violent struggle making him almost lose control, and he could only attack again.
"Sand Release: Sand Explosion Funeral!"
All his soul power erupted at this moment, and the sand adhering to the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent suddenly contracted.
A terrifying compressive force appeared, and the yellow sand that had been struggling before became still.
"Huff~ So little soul power!"
Tang Chen panted heavily. He had only used a few moves, and his soul power was completely exhausted.
This sand was prepared in advance; if he had obtained it on the spot through sandification, it would probably have been consumed even faster.
"Ten Reincarnation Eye!"
Tang Chen's dark pupils suddenly turned white, and then flashed with a ghostly blue light.
In the space within his vision, soul power was absorbed by the Tenseigan, quickly replenishing the emptiness.
Regardless of whether the Naruto world or the Douluo world is stronger, things that appear later in the story will inevitably have terrifying power.
Just like the Tenseigan, the ability to replenish soul power alone is invincible.
Against an opponent with endless soul power, anyone would feel their scalp tingle.
If they couldn't be killed instantly, they might be worn down to death.
His eyes swept across the sand pile, and Tang Chen's expression suddenly changed drastically.
The Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent wasn't dead at all; it had already burrowed into the ground, right beneath his feet.
*Bang!*
Its forked tail burst forth from the earth, sweeping across the space in front of it.
"Holy crap! Shinra Tensei!"
At such close range, using a soul skill was too late.
Only a terrifying repulsive force was enough for the two forces to collide.
*Boom!*
The earth trembled violently, and Tang Chen and the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent were simultaneously thrown back.
*Bang!*
The immense force shattered a large tree, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"My god, this kid is so strong!"
Xiao Wu was terrified and quickly dropped the rabbit, running over to check on him.
Pulling Tang Chen out from the broken branches, she asked with concern,
"How are you? Let's leave now."
Xiao Wu glanced at the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, which was also in bad shape, pinned down by several broken branches, struggling to break free.
"Ptooey! I'm alright!"
Tang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood; his clothes were tattered, but he didn't have any serious injuries.
The sand armor on his body peeled away continuously, absorbing the impact with this ability.
His originally handsome face appeared, his skin gleaming with a crystal-clear, jade-like luster.
Tang Chen had a male body and a female appearance; although he hadn't inherited the Clear Sky Hammer, he had inherited all the advantages of the Blue Silver Grass Queen.
In others' eyes, he was incredibly handsome—of course, he wasn't bad in his previous life either.
Now, combined, he would inevitably be incredibly handsome.
"So handsome!"
Xiao Wu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, though she didn't quite understand romantic feelings.
But she could always distinguish between beauty and ugliness .
"Running away? I'm going to destroy it today!"
Tang Chen shook off Xiao Wu's arm. If a transmigrator were to back down and suffer a defeat, he would completely disgrace his profession.
Today, no matter what means he used or what price he paid, he would kill it!
"Hoo~"
After venting his frustration, Tang Chen began to consider his strategy.
The fight seemed evenly matched for a long time, but in reality, it hadn't caused much damage.
Just like Tang San fighting Zhao Wuji, it looked painful but didn't break any bones.
Therefore, his martial soul definitely couldn't win, even if he activated his possession ability.
This amount of soul power couldn't withstand even a second of the Six Paths Mode's torment.
So, he could only use the Tenseigan, an external soul bone.
Although it also relied on soul power, eye techniques consumed more mental energy.
And as a transmigrator, this was the power he had no shortage of.
"Tenseigan Secret Technique: Soul Garment Mode!"
With Tang Chen's roar, countless amounts of soul power gathered in the space, condensing into an outer garment on his body.
His body began to float, and a terrifying pressure spread out.
The ground trembled violently, and countless fragments floated up as if weightless.
