Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 164, Page 182: Mistress, you can't just stand by and watch me die!

Yu Xiaogang handed the radish to Luo Sanpao, who ate it. Two bright orange soul rings appeared around Luo Sanpao's body. He shouted, "His farts are like thunder, earth-shattering Luo Sanpao!"

Luo Sanpao turned around, locked onto the soul beasts, and sprayed a thick, yellow fart at them.

Instantly, the surrounding space was enveloped by the yellow, smelly fart. Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Xiao Wu were shrouded in the yellow fart mist, and visibility was so low that they couldn't even see their fingers.

"Master, is this your soul skill?" Tang San said, feigning shock.

"Cough cough cough, oh, that stinks! What a disgusting soul skill!" Xiao Wu's voice of disgust came from within the fart mist.

"So, teacher, you only have two spirit rings." Tang San's teasing intensified.

This made Yu Xiaogang wish he could find a crack in the ground and disappear forever, but then he remembered that Tang San was his precious disciple whom he couldn't abandon, so Yu Xiaogang quickly tried to justify himself:
"Your master... Your master's strength may not be great, but your master is a master of theory. In terms of theory, there is no one in the entire Douluo Continent more suitable to guide you than me."

"Yes, yes, but teacher, you're just a Great Soul Master, that's a fact!" Tang San didn't intend to sever his master-disciple relationship with Yu Xiaogang over this. After all, Yu Xiaogang was an invaluable protector. Tang San was just using this incident to remind Yu Xiaogang: You're just a level 29 Great Soul Master. I tolerate you being my nominal teacher, but that's all. Don't try to climb any higher!

Yu Xiaogang led Tang San deeper into the Soul Beast Forest.

Tang San followed behind Yu Xiaogang, anticipating the appearance of a Datura snake later on.

Tang San remembered that Yu Xiaogang seemed to have been bitten by Luo Sanpao, which caused the poison to be fed back to him, and then he died. If it weren't for Tang San's mastery of the Tang Sect's secret techniques from his previous life, this Mandala Snake would have almost wiped out the entire group of master and disciples. Thinking of this, Tang San became angrier and angrier. What kind of teacher was this? He really didn't know where he would have the face to say in the future: I have raised a god.
In his past life, he saved Gangzi. Should he ignore Gangzi when the Datura snake appears and Gangzi is poisoned, let the poison spread slowly, and then cut off Gangzi's leg? Tang San thought to himself with a sinister glint in his eyes.

However, Tang San waited and waited, but the Mandala Snake never appeared.

Tang San walked forward while keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings. Suddenly, a shrill scream came from behind him.

"Ahhhh-"

It turned out that a small black snake suddenly darted out from the path Xiao Wu was walking on. The snake bit Xiao Wu's rabbit leg and injected its venom into her body.

"Xiao Wu—" Seeing Xiao Wu's pained expression, Tang San's eyes turned red and he began to pant heavily.

He hurriedly used his Ghostly Shadow Steps to rush to Xiao Wu's side and threw a hidden weapon at the black venomous snake, which instantly pinned the snake to the ground.

A pale yellow spirit ring appeared on the snake's corpse.

This was a 101-year-old spirit beast. After carefully examining its appearance, Tang San's heart sank. It was a Black Mannibal Serpent.

The world of spirit beasts is full of wonders. What kind of spirit beasts can be found? The Black Mamba Snake is a kind of spirit beast that human spirit masters both avoid and yearn for but cannot obtain.

Why? Because the Black Maniba snake is incredibly venomous. Once bitten, there is almost no antidote. The only way to save a person is to absorb its spirit ring to extract the toxins from the poisoned person. Therefore, if bitten by this snake, the Soul Hunting Team must face a question: should they abandon the poisoned person, or waste a spirit ring slot to absorb the spirit ring and then cure the person's poison?
However, for Soul Masters with poison attributes, the Black Mannibal Serpent's deadly venom is an ideal Soul Ring that they can only dream of.

Those who don't want to encounter it always do, while those who crave it never do.

Now that Xiao Wu has been poisoned by the Black Mannibal Snake, Tang San faces an awkward choice: should he watch Xiao Wu die from the snake's venom, or should he absorb the Black Mannibal Snake's spirit ring to cure her?

"It's actually a Black Mamba." Yu Xiaogang was shocked, but a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes. He was just worrying about how to persuade Tang San to follow his theory and absorb a venomous snake-type soul beast to obtain a control-type soul ring, when Xiao Wu got into trouble. This was simply a godsend.

Although the Black Mamba Snake's spirit rings are barely at the hundred-year level, it's not a problem. The Black Mamba Snake's poison completely makes up for this weakness. Besides, the useless spirit Blue Silver Grass is only good for a short time. When he specializes in the Clear Sky Hammer in the future, the spirit rings will be at least ten thousand years old, so the age of the spirit rings won't have much of an impact.

Yu Xiaogang quickly grabbed Tang San and activated his Soul Beast Encyclopedia. He emphasized the nature of the Black Mannibal Serpent, then stressed the benefits its spirit ring would bring to Tang San. He earnestly told Tang San, "Little San, only a Soul Master who has absorbed its spirit ring can defeat the Black Mannibal Serpent. We can't just watch Xiao Wu die like this!"

Xiao Wu also looked desperate. She never expected that when she came out to hunt souls with Tang San, she would be ambushed by a hundred-year-old soul beast. Did that soul beast not know that it was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast in human form?
However, due to her transformation into human form, Xiao Wu was in a vulnerable state. Being bitten by this hundred-year-old soul beast would be a fatal thing. If no one saved her, she would probably become the first hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast to be killed by a hundred-year-old soul beast.

Xiao Wu said to Tang San with difficulty and pain, "Tang San, I don't want to die!"

"Xiao San, once the Black Mannequin venom reaches its late stage, Xiao Wu will be beyond saving." Yu Xiaogang morally blackmailed Tang San from behind: "As a friend, you shouldn't just stand by and watch her die. You have to save Xiao Wu."

Seeing Xiao Wu in pain, and then looking at the pale yellow spirit ring beside her, Tang San closed his eyes and made a decision. Absorbing this spirit ring would only temporarily affect his talent, and he could replace it in the future. But if Xiao Wu died, the loss would be much greater.

He sighed helplessly, sat down cross-legged, and began to absorb the spirit ring.

This scene brought a sigh of relief to Yu Xiaogang's heart. Finally, Tang San complied with his request and absorbed a venomous snake-type spirit ring.

Absorbing a spirit ring that was only a little over a hundred years old was no problem for Tang San, and he quickly finished absorbing it.

Sensing the soul skill granted to him by this soul ring, Tang San's face immediately darkened. Why is this still Blue Silver Entanglement? This soul skill was okay in the early stages, but it became more and more useless in the later stages. Why? After he awakened the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, he could easily use the Blue Silver Emperor to entangle his opponent without needing a soul skill. Since he could show this move without needing a soul skill, why waste a soul ring slot?
