Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 250 The First Ring of a Thousand Years?
Tang San had already made his decision, and Yu Xiaogang didn't try to persuade him any further. She had already explained the pros and cons to him, and it was up to Tang San to decide what to do next.

With his teacher's approval, Toad Tang San's face lit up with joy; he was about to rise up again!
Once I break through to the Soul Master level, I will become even stronger, and then I will be able to fight even Feng Xiaotian.

"Teacher, there are no competitions these two days, let's go hunt for spirit rings first. I want to try a ten-thousand-year spirit ring first."

"If I can't absorb it, I'll settle for absorbing one that's a thousand years old."

Tang San the Toad had already made up his mind. No matter what, he was going to give it a try, and he would accept failure if he failed.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, agreeing with Toad Tang San's suggestion. It was fine; it would be a good opportunity to see how the cultivation of twin martial souls was done.

With twin martial souls, Tang San should be the second person in the entire Douluo Continent to possess twin martial souls (in this case, Yu Xiaogang didn't know that Bibi Dong had twin martial souls, so he naturally assumed that Tang San was the second person to possess them).
If I can successfully train him, I can become famous throughout the world.

At that time, he would have cultivated twin martial souls, nurtured a titled Douluo, and even nurtured a god.

Each of these achievements alone could make one famous throughout the world. If all three were combined, it wouldn't just be a matter of being famous throughout the world; it would be a matter of being remembered in history.

It sounds wonderful.

"Okay, Xiao San, let's go together."

The following morning, Yu Xiaogang found Xueya alone and asked her to take the two of them to Sunset Forest to hunt for soul rings.

When Xueya learned that Tang San, the Toad, actually possessed twin martial souls, she was shocked: "Xueya, don't tell anyone about this. It's Tang San's secret."

Xueya nodded, knowing the seriousness of the matter. Twin martial souls! The second person in the world to possess twin martial souls, and she had actually taken him to hunt for soul rings.

In the Sunset Forest, Xueya appeared before Toad Tang San and his companion, carrying a ten-thousand-year-old black ape.

"Little San, this is a ten-thousand-year-old Howling Moon Ape. Try it and see if you can absorb it!"

"Let go of the Howling Moon Ape," Xueya said, somewhat excitedly.

Toad Tang San nodded, took out his dagger, and stabbed the Howling Moon Ape in its weakest spot. Blood flowed freely, and it soon breathed its last. A terrifying black spirit ring appeared.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the black spirit ring with envy, wondering when she would be able to absorb such a spirit ring.

Let alone ten thousand years, he couldn't even absorb a thousand-year soul ring successfully. This was his first time trying to absorb a thousand-year soul ring, and he still failed. He's clearly a waste.

Now he can only watch enviously, looking forward to the day when he can absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Tang San, the Toad, summoned his second martial soul: a small black-green hammer with a toad pattern printed on it. One end of the hammer head was a toad's head, and the other end was also a toad's head!

This is none other than Tang San's second martial soul: the Double-Headed Toad Hammer!
The two toad heads perfectly embody this martial spirit.

When the Martial Soul appeared, Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded. This... apart from the hammer being related to the Haotian Sect, it had nothing to do with anything else.

What exactly is the curse Tang Hao is under? How could it cause his mistress to become like this?

Fortunately, the double-headed toad hammer still retains some of the characteristics of the Haotian hammer.

There were even some chemical attacks.

Xueya wanted to ask something, but seeing Yu Xiaogang's appearance, she didn't ask anything and just stared at Toad Tang San.

Tang San, the toad, slowly guided the ten-thousand-year soul ring onto his martial soul. The violent soul power instantly engulfed him, and terrifying waves of soul power surged into his body.

A soul seemed to be tearing apart Tang San's spiritual power as well.

Bloodstains began to appear on his body, and streaks of blood gushed out as Toad Tang San's mental strength resisted.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he began to tremble. His body was now covered in a crimson hue.

Bong! With a loud bang, Toad Tang San was blasted away, his absorption attempt failing.

"Hey, mistress, you should absorb the essence of a thousand years."

Yu Xiaogang sighed. He had seen everything that had just happened. He couldn't absorb the ten-thousand-year-old energy.

"All right……"

Tang San, the toad, had no choice but to absorb the essence of a thousand years.

Nine thousand years wasn't enough, eight thousand years still wasn't enough... The Soul Ring level kept dropping, finally stopping at one thousand years.

The Double-Headed Toad Hammer successfully absorbed a purple soul ring.

"Teacher... I... I feel like I can't even absorb a thousand-year-old spirit ring."

Tang San, the toad, looked at Yu Xiaogang with a pained expression, his face full of bitterness.

"How could that be? No, Xiao San, you can't absorb any more spirit rings. If you do, you'll be ruined."

Yu Xiaogang immediately stopped him. In his mind, nothing should have happened, but he couldn't explain it either.

"Teacher, I..." Toad Tang San was a little unwilling. He felt that he was about to break through level 40.

How could he be content to be stuck here?

"Teacher, I'm almost level 40!" Toad Tang San said through gritted teeth.
Xueya remained silent, watching to see what Tang San, the toad, would do.

Yu Xiaogang remained silent, his meaning all too clear: unlike in the original story, he no longer knew how Bibi Dong cultivated her second martial soul.

He also didn't have a very good relationship with Bibi Dong.

Therefore, it was impossible to be as resolute as in the original work in preventing him from cultivating a second martial soul.

Seeing his teacher's expression, Toad Tang San understood and finally said firmly, "Teacher Xue, please catch me a soul beast that is nearly a thousand years old. As long as I can break through to level 40, that will be fine."

Tang San, the toad, gritted his teeth and finally made his decision. As long as he had the divine inheritance, none of these things would be a problem. He was gambling that he could obtain the divine inheritance.

As long as there is a divine succession, then all of this is worthwhile.

He was willing to risk two lives to gain a divine position, even if it meant wasting two spirit rings – it was worth it.

Without this divine inheritance, he wouldn't have acted this way. It wouldn't be in Tang San's best interest. He's not stupid; he wouldn't do things that would affect the future.

But now he was facing the inheritance of a divine position, which he had to take seriously, and he had a premonition that he would definitely be able to obtain that divine position.

He didn't know where the confidence came from; he just had this feeling.

Xueya glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who nodded: "It's worth it to exchange two soul rings for a divine throne inheritance."

Upon hearing this, Xueya turned and left to hunt soul beasts; her meaning couldn't be clearer.

Soon, Xueya brought a 900-year-old soul beast. Toad Tang San almost failed, but fortunately he gritted his teeth and persevered in the end.

However, his own body seemed to smell even worse, and his soul power had increased to level 40.

(PS: The goal is to get the fourth ring. Only with the fourth ring can we better torture Tang San the toad. As for how to torture him? You can look forward to it!)

It's not about buffing Tang San or anything; there's no need. After all, no matter how strong he is, he'll still get beaten!
(PS: This is to give Tang San the toad hope. There's something even worse waiting for him later. We need to give him hope first, otherwise the despair in the end won't be enough...)
