Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 495 Blackmail
"Cough cough!"

Tang San grunted.

The blood that had been brewing in his mouth finally gushed out and spilled out, staining the sea red.

"Ye Lingling!"

"If I had known, I should have killed your mother back then!"

Tang San smiled bitterly, "The Xuan Tian Treasure Record really didn't deceive me. The rules of the Tang Clan disciples are correct. We must never show mercy to our enemies, otherwise we will only cause trouble."

On the other side of the ocean current is the graceful Ye Lingling.

When Han Tao first met her, Ye Lingling's appearance and temperament were not outstanding; she could only be considered above average among Soul Masters.

But now, she is...
With an aura that transcends the dust of the world, the pale purple nine-heart begonia maintains a captivating elegance as it stands suspended in the sky.

"Even now, you still want to hurt my mother?"

Ye Lingling's eyes were icy cold.
With a slight increase in the rhythm of soul power, at the same moment, Tang San let out a scream of excruciating pain.

"what--"

"Wind Song!"

Han Tao's fingers traced the rhythmic wind.

The "Wind Whisper Grass" has mastered the flow of countless breaths and the obscure scents. By using the influence of these scents, it can observe a deeper level of "the power of destiny".

Frosty Red!

Frost-red blankets the land!
The ocean is vast and boundless, with magnificent waves. The fluttering crimson frost appears tiny on the ocean, like a small boat adrift.

"Yes, your soul power can kill him at any time, but beyond the light and shadow that is imperceptible to ordinary people, there is a convergence of countless forces of destiny."

"The Qi Yun is seven-colored, and Frost Red is only one of them. We have only observed a part of its power through the Wind Whisper Grass."

"But."

Ye Lingling hesitated: "Although Tang San can't beat us, he wants to hurt my mother. If we let him go now, it will only increase the risks in the future."

"Who said I was going to let him go?" Han Tao said casually.

"uh-huh?"

As the finger slowly fell, the sea returned to stillness.

It wasn't just the ripples created by the splashing water; along with the silence that followed the sea, the boundless spiritual power of heaven and earth resonated throughout the vast ocean and tides.
"Soul power, annihilated!"

Instantly, he grasped Han Tao's skill.

Perhaps this is the correct path for Blue Silver Grass. The control system that Yu Xiaogang taught me was wrong because at the highest level of martial soul strength, one can easily control everything.

"Blue and silver entanglement?"

"What's the point of controlling the enemy's body with narrow, entangled movements?"

Tang San is questioning his own conscience.

Someone like Han Tao, who uses the techniques of soul power and spiritual power to annihilate matter and soul power, possesses an all-encompassing authority that is beyond his reach and imagination.

At this inopportune moment, Tang San grasped the correct path of the Blue Silver Grass, but it was too late to undo the damage.

"Heh!" Han Tao chuckled dismissively.

"Does Tang San even deserve to comprehend Blue Silver? He only saw the divine-grade Blue Silver Dominator's Eye and grasped the direction of one of the core sequences."

"But he knew nothing about the form and foundation of a martial soul, the combination of soul rings and external soul bones, the use of the power of faith, and all the various aspects of a chimera."

Divine-grade Martial Souls constitute a complete and vast system.

Tang San saw its appearance and understood only a few fragments within the grand system, yet he thought he knew the entirety of the Blue Silver Cluster—truly a ridiculous and laughable statement.

"No!"

"There's still a chance! I can rebuild my martial soul, rebuild my Blue Silver Grass martial soul! I definitely have a chance!"

He firmly believed: "If the Blue Silver Emperor can be resurrected, then my martial soul will surely be resurrected!"

"I still have bloodlines, I still have the bloodlines of the Blue Silver Emperor."

At this point, Tang San suddenly stopped.

Because in order to find his grandfather Tang Chen and to temper the bloodline of the Clear Sky Hammer, he chose to sacrifice his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline as a price.

He lay sprawled on the deck, his meridians damaged, his dantian shattered, and his acupoints isolated by his soul power.

Unable to cultivate and powerless to resist, Tang San was trapped in a desperate situation beneath the beautiful blue sky.

Tears of blood, falling, head bowed.

"Han Tao, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Tang San forced a smile, but saw Han Tao's cold eyes. "I wouldn't dare!"

Han Tao shook his head and refused.

She leaned closer, grabbed his collar, thought for a moment, and then slowly let go.

"Although I cannot kill you now for some reason, letting you go would increase my unnecessary risks."

Located at Tang San's waist, on the night of the bright moon over the Twenty-Four Bridges, a peculiar gem was revealed as it rotated.

Suddenly, Tang Chen's angry roar rang out.

"Han Tao, stop right there!"

"Why?"

Tang Chen was indeed anxious.

It wasn't that he was afraid Han Tao would kill Tang San, because doing so would play right into Han Tao's hands, allowing him to go to Seagod Island and reap the rewards.

"But what if it's Han Tao?"

"Once we capture Tang San, and he develops abilities to devour or plunder fortune, or other similar abilities, our advantage will vanish."

And so, the spirit rings exploded.

Standing atop the Sunset Forest, it uses the pressure of soul power and aura to dispel the poisonous barrier that has reached the divine level within the forest.

"This is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!"

Tang Chen felt puzzled.

Because within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, thousands of Blue Silver Grasses had already been moved by Han Tao, and the ruins of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had also been moved by Han Tao to other underground locations.

"Indeed, Han Tao, you have foresight."

Han Tao chuckled in agreement: "Thank you for the compliment!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Chen's lips twitched involuntarily, and he took a deep breath.

"But I also know that the ecological magnetic field of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well can allow plant-type soul beasts to evolve a thousand times."

"And your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has been able to grow to its current state thanks to the power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

Confident that he held the leverage to blackmail Han Tao, Tang Chen spoke with unwavering conviction, his eyes brimming with arrogance.

Disdainful of the vibrant life below, the interplay of ice and fire created a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Han Tao chuckled: "Really?"

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is indeed very important to me, but now the Blue Silver Grass has been moved, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has also relocated to another place. As powerful as a god, what can you do?"

Hearing Han Tao's dismissive words.

Tang Chen's eyes flashed with anger and ruthlessness, his tone filled with a furious rage that seemed to want to tear everything apart.

"Han Tao, let Tang San go."

"You had already moved the Blue Silver Grass before I arrived, so I can't destroy them now, nor can I destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but..."

"I can destroy the ecosystem here. I can use Yellow Spring Dew to pollute the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, causing your Blue Silver Grass to completely lose its chance to evolve."

Han Tao fell silent.

To ponder, to consider, to weigh.
"That's it, that's it!"

Standing beside him, Tang San suddenly burst into wild laughter.

Arrogant and disdainful, he gave a look: "Han Tao, I thought your theories were quite accomplished, even capable of competing with my master."

"I didn't expect this, cough cough!"

"You have been able to get to where you are today entirely because of the favor of fate and the unique geographical advantage of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."

"Grandfather, destroy the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

Tang Chen did not answer.

From his perspective, Tang San's statement was simply laughable. Any power is built upon a theoretical system. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye may have played a significant role, but it was definitely not the whole story.

Just like...
The nine-headed bat is the core of my system, but it is not the entirety of my power.

Tang San let out a cold laugh, a harsh, even hoarse shout.

"Han Tao, when you lose it..."

"Without the complete loss of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, your Martial Soul will reveal its true form, and your advantages will vanish!"
