Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 242 Tang San's Changes

Xiao Wu looked at Yang Xiong and was a little angry: "You little bear, you even made Xiao Bai run away. I think your next assessment will be very difficult."

Yang Xiong said helplessly, "I was just telling the truth. Do you think he'll increase the difficulty just because I absorbed two 100,000-year spirit rings? Do you think the Sea God will reject me just because I absorbed two 100,000-year spirit rings?"

Xiao Wu said, "Isn't that because you hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts at will? 100,000-year-old soul beasts have the intelligence of normal people. Don't you think that's cruel?"

Yang Xiong shook his head: "Xiao Wu, you are a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. Perhaps you feel closer to soul beasts, but in my eyes, I must keep getting stronger, and soul rings are inevitable."

Xiao Wu quickly asked, "So you're still missing two spirit rings, and you'll need to hunt 100,000-year-old spirit beasts in the future?"

Yang Xiong nodded: "These are the rules of the Soul Master world, which even gods cannot change, let alone mortals like us."

Xiao Wu seemed a little angry: "You little bear, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you still wanted to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts. I guess I misjudged you."

Yang Xiong said helplessly, "Little rabbit, I've saved you several times, is this how you treat your savior?"

Seeing that Xiao Wu was unusually angry, Tang San, who had been silent all along, quickly spoke up to comfort her: "Xiao Wu, don't be so angry. I will definitely work hard to become stronger and protect you with all my might."

Looking at Tang San and Xiao Wu's appearance, Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head. The rules of this world are like this. Can an ordinary person change them by their own power?

Tang San looked at Yang Xiong and said, "Yang Xiong, I thank you for helping Xiao Wu many times, but I hope you will apologize to Xiao Wu. After all, a 100,000-year-old soul beast is her kind."

Yang Xiong said, "Tang San, your Clear Sky Hammer hasn't even started absorbing spirit rings yet. Does this mean that in the future your Clear Sky Hammer will only absorb ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit rings, and you don't plan to absorb a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring?"

Tang San was speechless upon hearing this. He had planned to cultivate the Blue Silver Grass to the ninth ring before adding a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer. At that time, he would definitely pursue a spirit beast with a higher age and greater power. A 100,000-year spirit ring was one of his pursuits, or even his ultimate goal.

Tang San remained silent for a while before speaking: "I won't hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts indiscriminately, but I can still kill those more evil soul beasts."

Yang Xiong chuckled inwardly: "I'm a little confused about this. What exactly is an evil 100,000-year-old soul beast?"

"I have no interest in you and Xiao Wu being together, nor do I want to disturb you. But I think any soul beast that grows to the 100,000-year level, unless it is a certain plant soul beast, must have hunted a large number of soul beasts to reach the 100,000-year level. Even the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python should be no exception. I don't think the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python are vegetarians."

"If that's the case, what kind of spirit beast in this world is benevolent? How can I distinguish between a benevolent 100,000-year-old spirit beast and an evil 100,000-year-old spirit beast?"

Tang San thought for a moment before speaking: "Some soul beasts are just growing normally, while others are not only growing for survival, but also wantonly destroying the soul beast forest and hunting other soul beasts in large numbers. In my eyes, these are evil soul beasts."

Yang Xiong nodded: "You might be able to distinguish them that way, but I think it's a bit unreasonable."

"I heard that you encountered the Deep Sea Demon Whale King at sea. In your eyes, is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King an evil soul beast?"

Tang San's eyes revealed a hint of indignation: "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is of course an evil soul beast. It occupies the Demon Whale Sea area, and it has devoured a large number of soul beasts in the entire Demon Whale Sea area. It has even killed passing ships and soul masters. It is simply outrageous."

Yang Xiong laughed and said, "You can't say that. As far as I know, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is very lazy. It lives alone in the Demon Whale Sea and just opens its huge mouth underwater to wait for food to be delivered to it."

"Moreover, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King never leaves the Demon Whale Sea, nor does it actively attack other soul beasts in other seas, much less attack ordinary people from a distance. It only treats ordinary people who invade its sea as enemies. This is the same as any soul beast's occupation of its territory and the attack of the intruder."

"Judging from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's habits, it should be considered a benevolent soul beast in every respect. After all, it never leaves its territory to attack others. I don't know if I'm right."

Tang San was speechless upon hearing Yang Xiong's words. He had also mistakenly entered the Demon Whale Sea under the guidance of pirates, and even came directly to the Demon Whale King of the Deep Sea.

For any powerful soul beast, if a human were to dart around in front of it, it would be a provocation, and it would be strange not to kill them.

Yang Xiong looked at Xiao Wu beside him: "Little rabbit, if a human were to wander up to the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python, do you think they would kill that human?"

Xiao Wu's face darkened upon hearing this. She had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for so many years, and the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python had probably killed quite a few ordinary Soul Masters, not to mention ordinary Soul Beasts.

Tang San seemed to be deep in thought when he said, "Yang Xiong, in your eyes, are there no good or bad soul beasts? In order to become stronger, are you willing to kill any soul beast?"

Yang Xiong shook his head: "I don't need too many spirit rings anymore, and I won't actively kill 100,000-year-old spirit beasts, but humans and spirit beasts are ultimately opposed. Humans kill spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings, and spirit beasts eat humans. This is something neither you nor I can change." "Besides, we have so many people now. Whether it's Yu Tianheng or Dai Mubai, their aptitude is outstanding. They will definitely be able to break through to the Title Douluo level in the future."

"When they reach the Title Douluo level, what will they choose for their ninth spirit ring? Will they consider hunting a 100,000-year-old spirit beast?"

Everyone around fell silent upon hearing Yang Xiong's words. As Soul Masters, everyone present could be described as exceptionally talented. No one wanted to be less powerful, and no one wanted to be unable to obtain a 100,000-year Soul Ring or Soul Bone in the future.

Xiao Wu's expression changed: "Little Bear, do you intend to hunt down Da Ming and Er Ming in the future?"

Yang Xiong shook his head: "It's not that serious. I'm not particularly interested in the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, but I remember telling you that Bibi Dong is still missing quite a few spirit rings. Do you think she might lead a large group to hunt down the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python in the future?"

"The struggle between humans and soul beasts will not stop because of you and me. Even without Bibi Dong, sooner or later other soul masters would want to hunt them. This is the issue of the positions of humans and soul beasts in this world, and it is also the most fundamental rule of this world."

Xiao Wu was furious when she heard Yang Xiong's words, but she was also trembling with fear and didn't know how to refute them.

Even Tang San fell silent at this moment. He could suppress his ambition and not hunt the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, but he could not stop others from hunting them, and he was even more uncertain whether he would seek out 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the future.

Finally, Tang San gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Wu, I won't let anyone hurt you, nor will I let anyone hurt your family. You have to believe me!"

Xiao Wu was deeply moved: "Third Brother, I believe in you. You will always be my brother."

Tang San looked at Yang Xiong and the others with a serious expression: "Everyone, Xiao Wu is the person closest to me. I hope that no one will hurt Xiao Wu or her family."

Yang Xiong sighed: "Tang San, why are you doing this? I'm not interested in Xiao Wu, nor am I interested in the Titan Giant Ape or the Azure Bull Python. Can you protect them for a while, or for a lifetime? You should know that the lifespan of a soul beast is much longer than that of a human soul master."

……

The conversation seemed to have started in an extremely strange way and ended in an extremely strange way, leaving even those around them somewhat confused, yet also seemingly touched upon something.

Whether it was the original Shrek Seven or the later additions Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, they didn't have the same good relationship with Tang San as in the original story. After all, Tang San didn't demonstrate absolute leadership, nor did he show any gratitude by giving them the immortal herbs. At most, they were just classmates with a relatively good relationship.

Even Ning Rongrong, who always had the best relationship with Xiao Wu, didn't know what to say at this moment. After all, there is a racial gap between humans and soul beasts. No one can give up pursuing a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone just because of a classmate.

For a period of time afterward, everyone fell into an eerie calm.

Everyone trained diligently, doing their utmost to increase their combat capabilities in the ocean.

Although Xiaobai disliked Yang Xiong intensely, she quickly became friends with Ning Rongrong and the other girls, almost like best friends.

Under Yang Xiong's arrangement, everyone had to fight in the sea every day. Even Ning Rongrong and Oscar had to try to cross the ring sea and break through Xiaobai's blockade with everyone else every day.

Even though everyone was badly injured after each battle, they were all exceptionally tenacious and fought desperately.

In contrast, every time Yang Xiong went into the sea alone to fight Xiao Bai, it seemed that neither of them could defeat the other.

In the sea, Xiao Bai's combat power will skyrocket. The 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark is extremely fast in the sea, especially with its huge size and sharp teeth. Even Yang Xiong would easily suffer a loss.

As far as Yang Xiong knew, Tang San had already reached level 70 through the reward of the first test before Yang Xiong and his group of eight arrived at the Ring Sea, and had obtained a divinely bestowed soul ring.

Even though Tang San used all his strength, he only obtained a ten-thousand-year soul ring, which was far from a one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

According to Poseidon, each Soul Master can only obtain one God-given Soul Ring, which greatly disappointed Tang San.

Especially since Yang Xiong already has two 100,000-year soul rings, and both of them are at the Soul Saint level, the difference between the two 100,000-year soul rings is enormous.
