Douluo: Tara's Mask, the Ultimate Darkness!

Chapter 251 The Toad Kicks Its Leg!
Level 40, finally level 40!

The Soul Sect is beckoning to me.

Tang San, the toad, was incredibly excited. Ignoring the pain in his body, he lay on the ground with a wide grin, in a rare good mood.

Seeing him like this, Yu Xiaogang smiled with relief. It was all worth it: "Little San, you'll absorb your fourth ring soon."

Upon hearing this, Toad Tang San nodded. He thought the same thing. He wanted to become stronger. Now that he had broken through to level 40, if he didn't break through, wouldn't his trip have been in vain?

With the cultivation level of a Soul Master, I would have a much better chance of success.

Xueya already understood and looked at Yu Xiaogang: "Xiaogang, what kind of fourth spirit ring does Xiaosan need?"

Yu Xiaogang raised an eyebrow, looking proud, "It's time for me to show my power again: 'A poisonous plant, about 5000 years old.'"

Upon hearing this, Toad Tang San nodded. His teacher hadn't tricked him in this regard and had been quite good to him. He knew he wasn't confident he could absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

The 5000-year period is about the same as the timeframe in the teacher's theory, which is just right for me.

It wasn't that Toad Tang San didn't want to absorb the fourth ring of the ten-thousand-year-old ring; it was just that he had already absorbed ten-thousand-year-old rings before, which was completely beyond his current capacity. He wished he could absorb the theoretical lifespan his teacher had mentioned.

Xueya frowned slightly, not quite understanding. Shouldn't a toad-type martial soul hunt other soul beasts like itself? Wouldn't that be better for its development?

Why hunt plants? Xueya was a little puzzled. She was no longer the little girl she used to be. Having been the education committee member for so long, she knew quite a lot.

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's advice to Toad Tang San, he shook his head slightly.

She wanted to argue, but seeing Yu Xiaogang's smug and confident look, she held back. Never mind, Xiaogang wouldn't harm his disciple.

Filled with doubt, Xueya turned and left to catch soul beasts for Tang San, the toad.

A moment later, Xueya appeared before them carrying a spirit beast that was about 4900 years old: "Mountain Poison Vine!"

Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed; this soul beast was just right.

"Little San, can you absorb it now? This soul beast is perfect for you. If nothing unexpected happens, your fourth soul skill will also be poisonous!"

Yu Xiaogang was filled with excitement; his mistress was truly his lucky star.

Toad Tang San spoke up: "Teacher, you can absorb it. Wait for me."

With that, Tang San, the toad, killed the soul beast and began to absorb it.

As he expected, absorbing this spirit ring was extremely easy, far less difficult than absorbing one that took ten thousand years. Indeed, only what suits you best is truly the best.

Half an hour later, the purple spirit ring on Toad Tang San's body disappeared, having been completely absorbed.

Taking a deep breath, Toad Tang San stretched his body: "Teachers, I feel incredibly strong right now!"

Xueya checked and found that Toad Tang San was already a level 41 Soul Master, almost breaking through to level 42.

It's still lacking; its foundation is a bit weak, it's being pushed along too far, and its roots are somewhat unstable.

Xueya immediately realized that Toad Tang San's foundation was unstable, and if he absorbed more, the effect would always be poor.

She just didn't know what to say. If she did, Yu Xiaogang would definitely refute her, and she didn't want to refute Yu Xiaogang.

"Little San, hurry up, hurry up and release your soul skill so we can see it."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't see through Toad Tang San's weakness; he only knew that the opponent had acquired a new soul skill.

Xueya also looked at Toad Tang San, wondering what kind of soul skills a toad spirit could acquire after absorbing the soul ring of a plant-based spirit beast. To Xueya's surprise, all of Toad Tang San's previous soul rings, except for the third one, were from plant-based spirit beasts, and the third soul ring was obtained from a human-faced demon spider due to an accident.

Otherwise, all his spirit rings would be from plant-based spirit beasts.

"Teacher, you were right! My fourth soul skill really is poisonous!"

Tang San, the toad, said proudly that he loved poison the most, and besides hidden weapons, poison was his specialty.

And now that his own martial soul contains poison, it is the most suitable match.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Toad Kick!"

With Tang San's Toad Martial Soul attached to him, a giant, disgusting toad leaped into the air, its hind legs instantly becoming enormous, and the soles of its toad legs looked like they had pustules.

Its hind legs landed straight on a large tree, which instantly collapsed. The spot where it had been kicked gushed pus and turned pitch black, as if it had been corroded by something.

Yu Xiaogang stared wide-eyed at the scene before him. Good, very good indeed.

The soles of the feet are covered in pus, and the pus is poisonous. If you stomp on them, you will either die or be poisoned. It is truly a very lethal soul skill.

Xueya was shocked. This... this soul skill seems to have inherited nothing except for the "climbing" part of the Mountain Climbing Poison Vine. It has neither the poison nor the resilience of the Mountain Climbing Poison Vine. Is this really true?
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's excited expression, Xueya really didn't know what to say. It seemed she had to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Xiaogang. This wasn't teaching a student; it was misleading him.

Putting everything else aside, for an animal martial soul to absorb the soul ring of a plant-based soul beast is putting the cart before the horse...

With a sigh, Xueya decided to keep quiet for now.

"Little San, if your soul skill were to fall on Feng Xiaotian, he would either die or be poisoned. And your poison is not something that just anyone can cure."

Yu Xiaogang expressed his opinion, and his analysis was very logical. After all, he had personally experienced the poison of Toad Tang San, and the marks on his face were Toad Tang San's handiwork.

How could he not understand?

"Yes, teacher. And I feel the poison is even more potent now, but it has one drawback."

"I smell worse and worse."

Toad Tang San said somewhat embarrassedly. Although he didn't think it was a big deal, it was terrible for the others.

"Hahaha, mistress, you really are a treasure without even realizing it."

"Isn't your scent also a form of attack?"

"You can certainly make the most of it for the sake of the divine succession."

"You saw it yesterday, those people were knocked unconscious by your stench. If used properly, that could be the key to a surprise victory."

Yu Xiaogang laughed loudly and explained to Toad Tang San that he shouldn't feel burdened, as this was not only not a burden, but actually a good method.

Hearing what Yu Xiaogang said, Toad Tang San felt that it made a lot of sense. As long as they could win, and these things were not against the rules, what was there to worry about?

"Teacher, I understand. Now, just wait for me to inherit the divine position."

Toad Tang San nodded heavily. His teacher really knew a lot. If it weren't for his teacher's guidance, he wouldn't have known how capable he was.

Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely treat you "well" from now on!

Xueya was stunned when she saw the master and apprentice. They could even turn black into white. Xiaogang, you're still you.
