Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 126 Tang San's Wisdom, Snow Maiden Transformation, Such a Young Soul Master!

Spirit world.

In front of a magnificent palace.

Tang San stared at the letter in his hand with a gloomy expression. Da Ming and Er Ming had contacted him through the altar he had descended from behind the Haotian Sect's altar—his good daughter Wang Dong'er appeared at the arena as scheduled, and her intimacy with Su Wen was one thing, but this was bait he had set.

But the problem is that not long ago, he lost contact with Wang Dong'er's spiritual consciousness in her sea of ​​consciousness!

It was as if that divine sense had been swallowed by the Silver Dragon King, whose powerful physique blocked all his attempts to see it. This enraged him, yet he was helpless.

That day, he was about to give the Silver Dragon King and that rebellious daughter a small punishment to let them know that there are some things that cannot be touched, but that old bastard Destruction suddenly rushed out and interrupted his connection with the divine consciousness of the lower realm—the connection was then completely severed, and he could not sense anything at all.

Destruction has definitely marked its own territory! It will rush over immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

Do not!
Tang San's face twitched; he even suspected that this guy had sent subordinates outside his palace to keep a close eye on him...

His eyes glanced slightly towards the depths of the sea of ​​clouds.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

"Shu~"

At the edge of the horizon, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​clouds, and a dark shadow darted away like lightning.

Tang San:"……"

"grass!!!!"

One actually exploded out!
It is at least a first-level deity, and possesses exceptional ability to conceal and disappear. It is highly likely to be one of the Seven Deadly Sins, otherwise it would not have remained undetected under his very nose.

"Om~"

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly.

A vast, ocean-like divine consciousness spread out, enveloping everything within sight... There was no more divine consciousness.

"I knew it!" Tang San snorted coldly.

But then something suddenly occurred to him, and a glint of wisdom flashed in his eyes.

"Destroying that old bastard will definitely prevent me from interfering in the lower realm. My main body is being watched by him, so naturally I have no chance. But if I were to send a wisp of my divine consciousness into the rear altar of the Haotian Sect..."

"Third Brother? What are you thinking about?"

A pink figure arrived quietly, smiling at Tang San.

"I was thinking about Xiao Qi. I wonder if she's been happy in the mortal realm for so long, under the protection of the Haotian Sect." Tang San paused for a moment, then revealed a doting expression as he stroked Xiao Wu's long hair.

"Then why did you allow that girl to descend to the mortal realm? I happen to miss her, so why not let her come back sooner?" Xiao Wu complained.

"Cough cough cough... Children should experience some hardships. If they always live under our protection, how can they bear the responsibilities of the future? By the way, are you going to Rongrong's? I'll go with you this afternoon."

"Well, okay..."

Seeing that he had successfully changed the subject, Tang San wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

Why are you being so talkative?

However, this Continental Soul Master Tournament is a perfect opportunity to teach that kid surnamed Su a lesson...

……

The far north.

The biting wind was like a sharp blade slicing across the skin. This was the heart of the far north, with temperatures dropping to over a hundred degrees below zero and gusts of wind as sharp as knives. Even an ice-attribute Soul Emperor would struggle to withstand the cold for more than a few seconds before being turned into a lifelike ice sculpture.

Xue Di took a deep breath.

Her icy eyes stared at the lifelike blooming snow lotus. Unlike ordinary snow lotuses, this one had four layers of petals. A 100,000-year-old snow lotus—something even she dared not dream of. She had stumbled upon it by sheer chance in the heart of the far north.

Actually, when she told Su Wen that she wanted to transform into human form, it was just a pretext. After all, after more than 100,000 years, her own power could no longer be limited by self-sealing. She couldn't even do it if she gave up this power. The danger of transforming into human form was no less than that of a heavenly tribulation.

So she was also hesitating...

But who would have thought that today, I would encounter a pure white snow lotus that is 100,000 years old!

That's a hundred thousand years!
It was enough for her to firmly contain her own power within her body and transform into human form.

The Snow Woman raised her swan-like neck and gazed up at the dark sky. Was this guidance from heaven?
The ten-thousand-year-old ice jade marrow found in the Earth Dragon Gate was plentiful, enough to support the Ice Emperor through several more heavenly tribulations, so she generously shared a considerable amount with Xiaobai and Atai.

So, of the three creatures from the far north, except for the strongest among them, they spent their days sleeping soundly in the cave.

This is the core of the far north, her territory; no human should risk their life to enter.

"In that case..."

The Snow Maiden's gaze toward the Snow Lotus grew even more resolute.

Gently cup it in your palm and lift it upwards.

The snow lotus bloomed layer by layer, and the soft, shimmering white light, like silk threads, wrapped around her in the air, enveloping her entire body. This powerful energy gradually flowed into her body.

"Once I absorb it all, I will surely be able to completely control the power and transform into human form!" The Snow Woman was excited, her body gradually curling up, seemingly transforming into the form of an infant...

(The Snow Woman is the fifth pet beast)
……

The capital city of Xingluo.

Su Wen and Wang Dong toured several large merchant guilds. The Star Luo Empire was indeed rich in resources. The hides and flesh of sea spirit beasts and land spirit beasts could be used as food or as defensive shields. At this time, spirit tools had not yet completely replaced all aspects of ordinary people's lives. Even sharp teeth, after being polished, could be used as weapons.

This is not because they are primitive. The world of Douluo is different from the previous one. The teeth of soul beasts are far stronger than imagined. Moreover, after polishing and grinding, their sharpness is even stronger than that of ordinary ironware, which is why they have been used to this day.

Su Wen weighed the "dagger" in his hand.

The blade gleamed with an amber luster, and the hilt was wrapped with several layers of white cloth, making it rather simple, but the price was not expensive—only thirty gold soul coins.

By infusing soul power, one can roughly sense the cultivation level of the "dagger's" owner—a Dark Shadow Leopard of about a hundred years old. As soul power is injected, the dagger's light intensifies, and it seems to become increasingly sharp.

For a Soul Master at level 10 or 12, it is definitely a top-notch weapon, but once it exceeds level 20, its effect becomes rather lackluster.

"Young master, if you're interested, why not try to negotiate the price? My goods are of high quality and low price, and I have everything you could want," the shopkeeper said with a leisurely smile as he lay back on the bench.

In his view, given the boy's age and considering the recent tournament held in the capital, he was most likely a Soul Master around level ten or so. Although top teams, such as Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Empire, which were favorites to win, all had Soul Masters as their starting point and Soul Kings as their ultimate potential, most ordinary teams had quite a few Soul Masters or Soul Masters in their starting lineups, not to mention their reserve teams...

Even if he underestimated it, it definitely wouldn't exceed level 20.

He's got sharp eyes; he's lived here most of his life, so he can tell how old someone is at a glance.

"..."

Su Wen remained silent.

The amount of soul power injected into the short dagger gradually increased.

At first, I was afraid that the dagger would break, so I was very careful. But the items made from the bones of soul beasts are indeed quite durable. No wonder that even though the two continents have been integrated for more than four thousand years, soul tools have only captured a considerable market share, but it is still difficult to completely drive away these "traditions".

If a soul tool of the same level were used, it would not only be one or two times more expensive, but it certainly wouldn't be as durable and reliable.

"Young master..." Just as the boss frowned and urged him on.

"Click~"

A crack appeared at the base of the dagger, and with a series of cracking sounds, the crack spread to the entire dagger. The faint light seemed to fade as it reached its peak, gradually dimming and breaking into pieces that scattered in Su Wen's palm.

The boss's eyes widened, and he stopped shaking on the bench, staring intently at the shards of the dagger in Su Wen's palm.

At the same time, Su Wen's eyes also turned towards them.

Su Wen: He's not trying to scam me, is he?
Boss: He won't overturn the stall, will he?

The atmosphere was somewhat eerie. There were quite a few people around. When Su Wen injected his soul power, some people had already been watching him. Now that the short dagger had shattered, even more people gathered around, glancing at Su Wen with surprise, and then at the boss.

"Thirty gold soul coins, not a penny less." Su Wen grabbed a handful from his spatial ring and tossed them to the shopkeeper before turning to leave. However, before leaving, he turned back to look at the shopkeeper and remarked, "The quality is not bad."

The boss's face turned bright red.

It could withstand his nearly level 30 soul power until it shattered at level 40, which shows its high quality. So Su Wen wasn't exaggerating. It might even have undergone some ancient processing. It's definitely a conscientious merchant, and the price is excellent.

But to the boss, this was nothing short of a fatal mockery.

Shivering and cold.

But he looked even more incredulous.

His family has been selling beast daggers, beast helmets, and beast weapons for generations. They have an ancient method that has been passed down for thousands of years. After soaking in special medicinal herbs, the hardness is significantly improved. This century-old Leopard Fang Dagger can at least withstand a battle between Great Soul Masters, and even Soul Venerables!
Could he be a Soul Master?!
impossible.

How could there be such a young Soul Master!

"Hey, Lao Yao, why are you resorting to cheating and deceiving customers now? Is it because there are so many customers coming to the capital these days due to the competition, and you can't keep up with the sales, so you came up with this stupid trick?"

The shopkeeper across the street grinned as he approached and began examining another short dagger.

Peers, competitors.

In the past, he would have definitely retorted, but now... he was truly in a state of utter confusion.

"Hehe, everyone, take a good look. This dagger is from the same source as the one the boy was holding earlier. They are two fangs from a leopard. Since that boy only needed to input his soul power to shatter the leopard's fangs, their quality is obviously not that great. Why don't I give it a try too..."

Seeing that Boss Yao was anxious, he wanted to step forward to stop him. After all, if the second leopard tooth also broke, his century-old shop would really be in trouble. If it was a defective product of the shop, he was willing to refund the money and compensate three times the amount.

But the latter's burly body blocked his way, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

The soul power in his palm was continuously poured in, and the short dagger slowly began to glow.

But as time goes by.

The atmosphere gradually became strange.

The shop owner across the street blushed, pouring all his soul power into the dagger, but nothing changed. It didn't shatter, and there wasn't even a ripple.

"uh-huh?"

Boss Yao gradually came to his senses.

It wasn't the dagger that was faulty, but rather the boy...

“I am a level 37 Soul Master, let me give it a try.” A middle-aged man in a magnificent robe said with a suspicious expression.

He took the short dagger and poured all his pale red soul power into it.

But he was no different from the owner of the shop across the street.

"Possessed by a martial spirit!"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, and a wave of energy erupted from his body, causing chaos and disarray among those around him. Several minutes later, the short dagger in his hand remained intact...

The crowd's expressions grew increasingly astonished.

"let me try."

Two figures squeezed out from the crowd.

A man and a woman, who looked somewhat alike, but the man was merely handsome, while the woman was radiant and incredibly beautiful.

Boss Yao was no longer in a hurry, and watched the scene with a smile from behind.

If the dagger really malfunctions, it will be a disaster.

But no... that was actually publicity for their own shop.

“I’ll do it, Meng.” Xiao Hongchen raised an eyebrow, took the short dagger, and poured his soul power into it little by little, level 10, level 20, level 30… until the moment he broke through to level 41, the short dagger flickered and shattered as before.

“Level 40 or above.” Xiao Hongchen clicked his tongue in amazement, returned the scraps to the shopkeeper, and just like Su Wen, tossed over thirty gold soul coins.

"Soul Sect?!!"

Everyone was stunned.

"The captain of the reserve team of the Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire, Xiao Hongchen," Xiao Hongchen said calmly.

"I am a level 52 Soul King, shouldn't I have the right to say this?"

Five spirit rings swirled beneath his feet—two yellow, two purple, and one black. Although the Star Luo Emperor had many more participating spirit masters from various academies due to the Spirit Master Competition, the power of a Spirit King was still quite awe-inspiring.

After all, this level of strength is enough to make him the captain of the main team of many powerful academies.

Even more exaggeratedly, some of the instructors leading the teams from various academies weren't even at the Soul King level...

"Crack~"

Xiao Hongchen covered his head, grimacing, and said, "Dream, what are you doing?"

"Don't embarrass yourself in public. Grandpa said that a true strongman challenges experts of the same level as himself, not shows off in front of a group of low-level experts," the silver-haired girl said, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Alright, alright, give your brother some face..."

"..."

"They're all prodigies."

As Boss Yao watched Xiao Hongchen leave, he sighed with emotion.

"But who was that young man from before? So young, yet already at the Soul Master realm?!"

As Xiao Hongchen and his sister left, the shop gradually became lively again.

Many people watched the two groups leave with expressions of emotion, saying, "I never thought I would see such outstanding talents in my lifetime. This competition is truly full of hidden talents."

"And who was that boy from before?"

"I heard he's the captain of Shrek Academy's reserve team. I heard from insiders that only two members of Shrek Academy's regular team came this time; the main players are all reserve members, and the roster has already been finalized. Unless Shrek openly cheats and changes the rules, otherwise..."

"Is that so?! Come on, let's go to the tavern, it's my treat, and I'll tell you all about it."

"..."

Night falls.

The shops showed no signs of closing; on the contrary, they were bustling with activity.

It turned into a night market.

"Is this bow pretty?" Wang Dong smiled and pinned the hair clip to her forehead, her light blue eyes fixed on Su Wen with anticipation.

"……Well."

Su Wen looked conflicted.

I should have had the girl dressed as a woman.

Disguised as Wang Dong, yet displaying the gentleness of a girl, and with the addition of a hair clip... if one did not know the truth, they would probably think she was a young woman, and even those around her were casting strange and ambiguous glances at her.

"It looks good." Under pressure, Su Wen nodded with difficulty.

P.S.: There's another long chapter coming at midnight tonight. I'm having some writer's block, so the update speed will be a bit slow...
