Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 283, Section 302: Absorb it for me.

Dai Mubai left, and before leaving, he patted Tang San on the shoulder and said earnestly, "San, I'll go back and keep an eye on your sister-in-law to prevent Yu Tianheng from taking a liking to her. I hope you can get back as soon as possible before the round-robin tournament starts."

"Yes, I will." Tang San nodded heavily.

After that, Dai Mubai went back, while Tang San followed Hai Ge to the Star Dou Great Forest.

In his previous life, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer spirit ring started with a 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape spirit ring, and the lowest spirit rings he acquired were all close to the 100,000-year level. His last spirit ring even reached the 990,000-year level, and he finally broke through to the million-year level during the final divine test.

In this life, Tang San was naturally not satisfied with starting with a thousand-year soul ring, but he had no choice.

After the bloodline is gone, the cultivation speed of Blue Silver Grass has become outrageously slow. Cultivating Blue Silver Grass to the level of Title Douluo before cultivating Clear Sky Hammer would be a waste of time and cost, and the benefits of cultivating Clear Sky Hammer now would be greater.

and--

Xiao Wu is the scabbard of the Shura Sword, and behind it lies the inheritance of the Shura God's position, which is related to Tang San's future legacy for all ages.

Now, by cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, I have lost a lot, but losing Xiao Wu means losing everything.

Tang San absolutely cannot allow Xiao Wu's heart to be taken away by Yu Tianheng or another man. Xiao Wu belongs to him, and the position of the Asura God also belongs to him.

Therefore, it is imperative for him to cultivate the Haotian Hammer, demonstrate its power, and thus win back Xiao Wu's elusive heart.

Of course, the Clear Sky Hammer can only start with a thousand-year spirit ring, and Tang San also has extremely high requirements for his spirit ring configuration.

He has his own goals, such as: the Thousand-Year Sky-Supporting Demon Ape, the Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape, the Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and the Thousand-Year Thousand-Pound Ant.
These requirements were basic to Tang San, but in Hai Ge's eyes, they were just making things difficult for him. You want me, a Soul Emperor, to hunt down a thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? A thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape? A thousand-year-old Sky-Supporting Demon Ape? You might as well just fly to the heavens.

Then, the following happened:
"What do you think of this 5,000-year-old silverback chimpanzee?" Hai Ge asked, pointing to a chimpanzee foraging for food in the forest.

Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye and looked over. It was indeed a 5,000-year-old silverback gorilla, a strength-type soul beast. This met Tang San's expectations, so he shook his head.

A barely perceptible sneer appeared on Hai Ge's lips. He was genuinely afraid that Tang San would agree; if he did, getting the white card would be much more difficult.

So, Hai Ge led Tang San through the Star Dou Great Forest, until they came to a pond. There, a large black ox, about ten meters tall and covered in moss, was soaking in the water. Hai Ge pointed at the beast and asked:

"A 6,000-year-old Cangming Swamp Ox, a strength-type soul beast, what do you think?"

Tang San took a look and realized that this was indeed a soul beast suitable for a power-type martial soul as a soul ring, but it didn't meet his expectations.

He shook his head and said, "Brother Hai, I think I deserve better."

"You deserve better." Hai Ge snorted coldly, then led Tang San around to several other places. Several days passed in the search for spirit beasts. Tang San had no idea how long or how deep he had ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest. Hai Ge's behavior became increasingly impatient. At first, he had been earnestly searching for power-type spirit beasts for Tang San.

Later, he gradually became distracted and less and less enthusiastic about finding soul beasts.

"What do you think of this 3,000-year-old hallucinogenic butterfly?"

"How about this 5,000-year-old sloth?"

"A six-thousand-year-old monitor lizard, what do you think?"

Finally, Tang San couldn't take it anymore and questioned, "Brother Hai, my spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer, and it should absorb a spirit ring with the power attribute. What kind of spirit beasts have you found for me?"

Hai Ge retorted, "Ah San, the spirit beasts I found for you at first, like the Cangming Swamp Ox, the Silverback Gorilla, and the Jungle Python, were all power-type spirit beasts, and their age met your expectations. But you didn't want any of them. Now you're blaming me for finding you spirit beasts randomly. Fine, then tell me what kind of spirit beast you want."

Tang San, with his neck stiff, said, "You at least have to find me a thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape, a thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a thousand-year-old Sky-Supporting Demon Ape, a thousand-year-old Thousand-Jin Ant, and a thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."

The more Tang San spoke, the greener Hai Ge's face became. Finally, Hai Ge interrupted Tang San directly: "You want to absorb the spirit rings of these top-level spirit beasts? Let's not even talk about whether you can find them. Even if you do find them, you want Hai Ge to help you hunt down these thousand-year-old spirit beasts. Why don't you just let Hai Ge die?"

"Aren't you a top-tier Soul Hunter? My brother paid you too. Shouldn't you do a good job for me now that you've taken the money?" Tang San knew that these Soul Beasts were hard to find and hunt, but he had no choice. He had very high standards for his Soul Rings, and he couldn't be too lenient even with a thousand-year Soul Ring.

"You're just doing this for money, right? If I remember correctly, the job I took was to hunt down four spirit rings that are over five thousand years old for you, but there was no requirement for the type of spirit beast," Hai Ge said, picking his nose.

Immediately afterwards, Hai Ge led Tang San around in the great forest. Finally, they stopped, and Hai Ge said to Tang San, "Wait here for me for a while, I'll bring you a soul beast."

So Tang San obediently stood still. After a while, Hai Ge held a slug about the size of a dog in his hand and placed it in front of Tang San: "5500-year slug, this is your first spirit ring. Absorb it quickly, and then we'll go find the next place."

When Tang San saw this slug, his face turned completely green. "My Clear Sky Hammer spirit is a strength-attribute spirit, and you've given me this mollusk as my spirit ring?!"
Tang San, his face stiff, said to Hai Ge, "Hai Ge, are you kidding me? Do you think my Clear Sky Hammer spirit should be equipped with this kind of spirit ring?"

Hai Ge grinned maliciously at Tang San. At this moment, the true intentions were revealed: "You little punk, I'm not suggesting this to you, I'm ordering you. Now, kill this slug and absorb its spirit ring, immediately!"

Tang San's expression darkened. He glanced at Hai Ge, then at the thousand-year-old snotty beast, his face grim. He would rather not attach a spirit ring at all than attach one to such a trash spirit beast. Tang San reached into his ring's spirit tool to retrieve hidden weapons, but embarrassingly discovered that due to the long-term expenses of blacksmithing to support Xiao Wu, coupled with the lack of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Tang San's hidden weapon reserves were insufficient. He only had small hidden weapons like the Sand-Spitting Arrow and the Sleeve Arrow. This was not enough to deal with a Spirit Emperor like Hai Ge.

Moreover, he didn't have the Eight Spider Lances, and his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline had been stripped away; his martial soul was just a useless Blue Silver Grass.

Tang San awkwardly realized that he seemed to have no way to deal with Hai Ge in the current situation.
