Chapter 239: Tang San's Two Years of Experience, The Advantage of Twin Martial Souls
Slaughter City.
"Two years of slaughter and devouring, empowered by the energy of twelve soul rings. I, Tang San, have become a Titled Douluo."
Deep within Slaughter City.
A man with blood-red eyes, an icy gaze, and boundless killing intent surrounding his body threw back his head and roared toward the heavens.
He was none other than Tang San, who had been cultivating bitterly within Slaughter City.
In just two years, he had walked a path that the vast majority of soul masters could never complete in their entire lives.
Two years earlier, after Bo Saixi inherited the Sea God's divine position,
Asura God in the God Realm had grown increasingly uneasy.
He began sparing no effort to support Tang San, handing him the super divine weapon, the Asura Demonic Sword, allowing him to devour the life force and soul power of fallen soul masters for cultivation.
With the Asura Demonic Sword's assistance, Tang San's cultivation speed became astonishingly fast.
Even among the evil soul masters of the original story's later generations, not a single one cultivated faster than Tang San.
At this moment, Tang San truly existed like the progenitor of all evil soul masters.
In addition, Tang San possessed Yun Yuan's Demon Seed, which enhanced his talent, the Asura God's divine trials that increased his cultivation level, and the energy brought by the soul rings of his twin martial souls.
With all these factors combined, Tang San leaped directly from a Soul Ancestor to a Titled Douluo in only two years.
Recalling his experiences, Tang San couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a faint smile.
He summoned his two martial souls.
The Man-Faced Spider Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer.
He released the soul rings of both martial souls.
The Man-Faced Spider Emperor martial soul possessed nine soul rings, with a configuration of eight black and one red.
The fifth to eighth soul rings had all been obtained by secretly hunting soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
He had hunted a total of four soul beasts exceeding ten thousand years, each with different cultivation levels.
As for the ninth soul ring, it was a god-bestowed soul ring granted by the Asura God after he completed the Asura God's trial.
The Clear Sky Hammer martial soul possessed seven soul rings, and its soul ring configuration was still incomplete.
The first six soul rings were uniformly black, over ten thousand years old.
The seventh soul ring was an even more impressive hundred-thousand-year blood-red soul ring.
Among them, although the fourth to sixth soul rings were primarily black, faint dark-red halos coiled around their edges.
This indicated that the age of these three soul rings was already extremely close to that of a hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
These three soul beasts were precisely the ones Tang San hunted for his second martial soul in the original story.
The Three Fifteen-Ton Ant Emperors!
All three were soul beasts over ninety thousand years old, yet they ultimately fell victim to Tang San, becoming the soul rings of his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.
As for the seventh blood-red soul ring, it had not been bestowed through the Asura God's trial.
Its source was the hundred-thousand-year Nine-Headed Bat King within Slaughter City.
This soul beast had long been prepared by Tang Xiao as a hundred-thousand-year soul ring for Tang San's second martial soul.
Only by possessing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring could the Clear Sky Sect's supreme techniques unleash their greatest power.
Looking at the sixteen soul rings surrounding him, Tang San felt immense joy and confidence.
A Titled Douluo at the age of twelve or thirteen. Who else in this world could accomplish such a feat?
Even the Spirit Hall's Atlas Douluo from decades ago had reached the Titled Douluo realm later than he did.
"Asura God's Seventh Trial: Hunt two soul beasts over one hundred thousand years old and obtain your eighth and ninth soul rings. Time limit: three months."
"Reward for completing the Asura God's Seventh Trial: Increase soul power by one rank, obtain control over the super divine weapon, the Asura Demonic Sword, and increase affinity with the Asura God's divine position by 10%."
At that moment, the information regarding the Asura God's Seventh Trial appeared in Tang San's mind.
"Two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts? Looks like I'll have to leave Slaughter City for another slaughter."
Tang San had already selected the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts required for his Seventh Trial.
The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.
These two soul beasts had always been Tang San's intended targets for his eighth and ninth soul rings.
Several days later, Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San appeared there wearing a black robe that concealed his appearance.
His eyes had permanently turned crimson, making his entire appearance especially terrifying.
Any ordinary soul master who saw him would immediately know he was a fallen soul master.
He continued deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest until he reached the vicinity of its core region.
Beside the Lake of Life lay a ten-meter-tall giant ape sleeping peacefully. It was none other than the Star Dou Great Forest's hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape.
After seeing the Titan Giant Ape, a sinister smile appeared on Tang San's lips.
Before long, this soul beast would become the eighth soul ring of his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.
Tang San shifted his gaze away from the Titan Giant Ape and activated the Purple Demon Eye to look into the Lake of Life.
There, he saw a soul beast with the body of a python stretching dozens of meters long and a pair of bull horns growing from its head.
It was the Star Dou Great Forest's hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Sky Azure Bull Python.
Immediately afterward,
Tang San slightly released the aura of a Titled Douluo.
"Hm? A human soul master has come, but this soul power aura is utterly repulsive."
Er Ming, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly awoke.
Because of the widespread adoption of spirit soul technology, he no longer harbored much hostility toward human soul masters.
However, this soul power aura was simply too evil, causing him to instinctively feel disgust.
He raised his eyes and saw Tang San standing before him, dressed in a black robe that concealed his face.
The next moment, he let out a furious roar, intending to drive Tang San away.
This black-robed soul master was obviously no good. He needed to leave their Star Dou Great Forest immediately.
"A beast is still just a beast. Become my eighth soul ring obediently."
Tang San sneered as he simultaneously summoned his two martial souls.
The Man-Faced Spider Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer.
Sixteen soul rings appeared around him, one after another.
Seeing this scene, Er Ming did not dare act rashly.
This black-robed soul master seemed rather powerful.
At that moment,
Da Ming's massive beast body burst out from the Lake of Life.
"Human soul master, you are violating the rules of the soul master world. Do you truly not take Spirit Hall seriously?"
Da Ming could sense the terrifying energy contained within Tang San's body.
Even if he and Er Ming fought together, they most likely would not be a match for the black-robed soul master before them.
Therefore, he hoped to use Spirit Hall's prestige to make this black-robed soul master retreat.
"Hahaha, Spirit Hall! Did you just say, Spirit Hall!"
Tang San's eyes grew even redder, looking like a madman who had fallen into demonic obsession.
"Don't worry. Once you're dead, it won't be long before Spirit Hall is destroyed as well!"
He already shared a deep blood feud with Spirit Hall. Why would he fear them?
The Sky Azure Bull Python's words carried no threat whatsoever.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" (Big Brother, enough talking. Let's just defeat him.)
Seeing Tang San's arrogant attitude, Er Ming could no longer tolerate it.
Did this fellow really think he, the Titan Giant Ape, was made of clay?
Although this black-robed soul master looked strange and radiated an extremely dangerous aura, they were still the overlord soul beasts of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.
If they fought, the outcome was still uncertain.
"Very well, Er Ming. Today, we'll eliminate a potential threat on behalf of Spirit Hall."
"However, Er Ming, be careful during the battle. This black-robed soul master gives me a very dangerous feeling."
At this point, Da Ming no longer hesitated and chose to fight.
