Tang Lan, however, remained as steady as a mountain. In a flash, he appeared in front of the Shadow Leopard.
A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a powerful force erupted, directly knocking the Shadow Leopard back dozens of meters.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stared wide-eyed, their admiration for Tang Lan growing even stronger.
As they ventured deeper into the forest, the auras of various powerful soul beasts emanated from them, filling Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with dread.
But whenever danger arises, Tang Lan always manages to easily resolve it, allowing them to escape danger time and time again.
Wang Dong couldn't help but say, "Senior, we really don't know what we would have done without you." (End of Chapter)
Chapter 822 Crisis lurks everywhere
Tang Lan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to protect you."
Under Tang Lan's protection, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong gradually adapted to the tense atmosphere and became even more determined to obtain powerful spirit rings.
As they ventured deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong felt an increasing sense of terror from within.
Thick fog enveloped them, reducing visibility to almost nothing, and the eerie atmosphere seemed poised to engulf them.
Wang Dong's voice trembled slightly: "Yuhao, I...I feel a chill run down my spine."
Huo Yuhao forced himself to remain calm: "Don't be afraid, Wang Dong, Tang Lan is here."
Just then, a strange gust of wind blew, and a swarm of poisonous bees came rushing in.
Each wasp was the size of a fist, and its stinger gleamed with a ghostly blue light, clearly indicating that it contained potent venom.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong panicked instantly, not knowing what to do.
Tang Lan quickly released her soul power, forming a barrier that kept the poisonous bees out.
"You guys stay away!"
Tang Lan shouted loudly, his hands waving, his soul power turning into flames, instantly engulfing the swarm of poisonous bees.
Seeing Tang Lan resolve the crisis so easily, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Dong said with admiration, "Senior, you're amazing!"
Tang Lan smiled and said, "This is nothing. There may be even more powerful soul beasts ahead, so you must stay close to me."
After walking for a while, a wide river appeared ahead. The water was swift, and a huge dark shadow could be vaguely seen swimming in the water.
Huo Yuhao swallowed hard: "Senior, can we cross this river?"
Tang Lan looked around and said, "I'll go scout ahead first. You guys wait here."
After saying that, Tang Lan leaped into the air, lightly touching the water with her toes, and swiftly skimmed towards the opposite bank like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Just as he was about to reach the other side, a huge water python suddenly leaped out of the water and opened its blood-red mouth to bite Tang Lan.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's hearts jumped into their throats.
This water python is a Black Water Serpent, possessing ten thousand years of cultivation, making it an extremely powerful soul beast.
Its enormous body was like a small mountain, and its thick, serpentine body was covered with hard scales that shimmered with a cold, eerie light in the dim light.
Those blood-red eyes were filled with ferocity and savagery, sending chills down one's spine.
When Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong saw the enormous black water serpent, their eyes widened in shock.
The expression on his face froze instantly, and fear and worry spread rapidly like a tide.
Huo Yuhao said in a trembling voice:
"This is actually a ten-thousand-year-old Black Water Serpent. Can Senior Tang Lan handle it?"
His voice was filled with undisguised fear, and his legs were trembling slightly, as if he were about to collapse to the ground at any moment.
Wang Dong clenched his fists tightly, his palms were sweaty, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"I don't know either. I hope my senior is safe and sound."
His gaze was fixed on Tang Lan, his eyes filled with both trust and deep worry.
However, Tang Lan didn't take it to heart at all.
He looked calmly at the Blackwater Serpent, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealing a hint of disdain.
That look seemed to say, "This is nothing more than a slightly threatening wild beast."
Tang Lan snorted coldly:
"A mere ten-thousand-year-old soul beast dares to be so insolent in front of me!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was full of authority and confidence, as if this ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was nothing to him.
The Blackwater Serpent seemed to be enraged by Tang Lan's attitude. It opened its mouth wide and spewed out a stream of black venom.
The venom was like a black torrent, carrying a pungent odor and a deadly threat.
Tang Lan dodged with lightning speed, as easily as a ghost.
His movements were fluid and effortless, without the slightest sign of panic.
A beam of light condensed in Tang Lan's hand, and a powerful force erupted instantly.
The light was dazzling, like a blazing sun.
This power transformed into a fierce attack, directly striking the Black Water Serpent.
The black water serpent twisted its body, trying to dodge.
However, Tang Lan's attack was extremely fast and accurately struck its head.
The Blackwater Serpent hissed in pain and anger.
Its huge tail swept fiercely towards Tang Lan, creating a gust of wind.
Tang Lan remained calm and composed, her footwork nimbly shifting as she easily dodged the swift attack.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Lan put her hands together and muttered some incantations.
Instantly, the surrounding elemental forces converged towards him.
He shouted, and a dazzling light shot out from his hand, heading straight for the Black Water Serpent.
The moment the light touched the Blackwater Serpent, it unleashed a powerful energy surge.
Many of the Blackwater Serpent's scales were shattered, and blood splattered everywhere.
But the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast still resisted stubbornly.
It opened its mouth wide and spewed out an even more powerful venom.
At the same time, he kept twisting his body, trying to wrap his body around Tang Lan.
Tang Lan was not afraid at all, and he leaped into the air.
Avoid the venom, then form a complex hand seal with both hands.
Suddenly, a huge rune appeared in the sky.
Shining with a mysterious light, it pressed down directly on the Black Water Serpent.
The Blackwater Serpent felt this immense pressure and tried to break free, but it was powerless to do so.
The rune slammed heavily onto its body, producing a deafening roar.
The Blackwater Serpent let out its final mournful cry, its massive body crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Tang Lan landed slowly, her expression still calm, as if she had just experienced a trivial battle.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's worries dissipated considerably.
Their eyes were filled with surprise and admiration, and they gained a deeper understanding of Tang Lan's formidable strength.
Tang Lan looked at the black spirit ring rising from the corpse of the Black Water Serpent, a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
"This spirit ring is of very high quality. If you were to get your fourth spirit ring, you might consider it."
Tang Lan shook her head slightly, a hint of regret on her face, and said...
"It's a pity that you are only at the third ring level and cannot absorb such a powerful spirit ring. Otherwise, it would be a great help."
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong gazed at the black spirit ring, their eyes filled with longing and helplessness.
Huo Yuhao sighed and said, "Senior, it's a pity, but I believe we'll be able to find suitable spirit rings in the future."
Wang Dong nodded and said, "Yes, we will work hard to improve ourselves and be able to absorb such a high-quality soul ring as soon as possible."
Tang Lan smiled and encouraged them, "It's good that you have such determination. Keep going, and you might find other gains in this Star Dou Great Forest."
After saying that, Tang Lan led Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong deeper into the forest to find a suitable soul beast for them.
The three continued their journey through the forest, the atmosphere becoming more relaxed than before.
Wang Dong asked curiously:
"Senior Tang Lan, how exactly is the quality of a spirit ring determined?" (End of Chapter)
Chapter 823 The Soul Ring Arrives
Tang Lan patiently explained:
"The quality of a spirit ring usually depends on the age and type of the spirit beast that produces it."
"The longer the age, the higher the quality, but at the same time, the more difficult it is to absorb."
“The soul ring produced by this ten-thousand-year-old Black Water Serpent contains extremely powerful energy and requires a very high level of physical fitness and soul power from the soul master.”
Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully: "I see. Then we must cultivate diligently and enhance our strength so that we can absorb more powerful soul rings."
Tang Lan smiled in agreement: "That's right, the growth of a Soul Master is a gradual process, and one must not be impatient for quick results."
Just then, a slight rustling sound alerted Tang Lan.
He immediately stopped and gestured for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong to keep quiet.
Something seemed to be slowly approaching from the grass not far away.
Tang Lan's eyes narrowed, and her soul power surged throughout her body as she prepared to respond.
