Serpent Spear Douluo continued to probe, attempting to start with his family background. If it were a large family, winning them over might not be easy; but if it were a small family, given his status as the First Prince of Heaven Dou, it shouldn't be so difficult.
Despite the somewhat clumsy attempt to test her, the girl cooperated readily and quickly gave the answer she wanted.
"My name is Gu Yue. My family is a reclusive family and not very famous."
"Gu Yue... that's a nice name. But I've never heard of a family with Gu as their surname before."
The Serpent Spear Douluo searched his brains thoroughly, but found nothing.
Turning our attention back to the battlefield, the primal clash of forces continues. Enormous fists collide with massive bear paws in a straightforward, unadorned battle of pure power.
Tangshan's strength originated from the ground, flowed through his arms, and he engaged in a primal struggle with the giant bear before him.
With each attack, soul power is amplified, blood and qi are circulated, and willpower is linked, all kinds of buffs are stacked to the maximum, striving to crush the opponent with power and completely suppress them.
Boom boom boom!
Fists and palms clashed, and the aftershocks of the collision between man and beast churned the surroundings into chaos. Wherever they passed, bushes were crushed and scattered; trees as thick as a man's embrace snapped and fell under the occasional impacts of the two, with only ancient trees as thick as two people's embrace barely surviving, and even then, their trunks were covered with countless claw marks and fist imprints of varying depths.
Tang Shan grabbed the enormous bear paw and yanked it hard, causing the bear to stagger. Taking advantage of the bear's momentary loss of balance, Tang Shan stomped his front foot on the ground and slammed his hands together, striking the sides of the bear's head hard.
Click!
The cracking sound of bones twisting came from the bear's head, but this was only the beginning.
Before the Terrorclaw Bear could react, Tang Shan unleashed a barrage of heavy punches on its massive body. Then, its already muscular thighs, swollen from its increased size, expanded a second time under the effect of its first soul skill, "Self-Control," with tendons and muscles forming a solid leg armor that enveloped the entire leg.
With both hands pressing down hard on the bear's shoulders, a powerful knee strike erupted, and the hands released their grip the moment the knee struck the bear's chest.
Click!
The sound of bones cracking exploded like firecrackers. In an attempt to kill him instantly, Tang Shan also injected hidden force into his internal organs, wreaking havoc within them.
No, given Tangshan's current physique, this can no longer be called "hidden strength," but rather "hidden current."
Mouthfuls of blood gushed from the transformed mouth of the Devilclaw Bear, its life force rapidly fading. Specks of purple light coalesced above its corpse, eventually transforming into a pale purple spirit ring.
call!
Tang Shan let out a long sigh of relief, removed the restraints from his body, and his size began to shrink, returning to his normal 1.8-meter height in the blink of an eye.
He skillfully caught the tiger skin that was slowly falling and tied it around his waist.
He had obtained this tiger skin from an unfortunate century-old tiger. The tiger and a wolf had both been seriously injured, and Tang Shan, acting out of "benevolence," helped them escape, thus acquiring the pelt in the process.
This fur is specifically used to cover up vital parts, to prevent being naked after using the second soul skill, which would be extremely embarrassing.
No, it seems I still can't give up forging. Putting everything else aside, the effects of the spirit alloy can be integrated into the soul master's body, and even higher-grade metals can change according to the soul master's body shape. It's simply the best choice for me.
"To be able to challenge and kill a Terrorclaw Bear while being a Great Soul Master, his combat power is truly unprecedented in my life."
The Serpent Spear Douluo appeared silently beside Tang Shan, his eyes revealing undisguised experience.
"You flatter me, senior. It's mainly because...because..."
Tang Shan wanted to be modest, but the words caught in his throat. He hadn't killed a Soft Bone Rabbit or Blue Silver Grass, but a Terrorclaw Bear, a top-tier high-level spirit beast. To kill a spirit beast of this caliber, one relied entirely on sheer, hard power.
"Strong is strong! In my estimation, with your current combat strength, you could easily defeat even an ordinary Soul King. I can't even imagine what level of strength you will reach when you come of age."
While sighing, Serpent Spear Douluo took out a large bucket and placed it in front of Tang Shan: "Go wash up quickly. Be careful, there's a little girl in that tree who got separated from her family. Let's take her with us."
Tang Shan lifted the bucket of water and poured it over her head, then casually asked, "Senior, what's her name?"
Clearly, he was still bothered by that vague sense of déjà vu he had felt earlier.
"Her name is Gu Yue..."
P.S.: Seems like there's not much to say, so let's continue with the usual practice of asking the author for everything.
Chapter 107 Gu Yue, Thigh; Big Cat, Auspicious Beast (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
Splash!
A bucket of cold water was poured over his head, leaving Tang Shan unsure whether his body or his heart was ice-cold.
Serpent Spear Douluo's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving him utterly stunned.
Tang Shan knew that his true spirit was his own, and his hearing was extremely sharp, so he wouldn't mishear. However, he still forced himself to keep a straight face and casually asked the Serpent Spear Douluo:
"Her name is Gu Yue?"
"Right?" Serpent Spear Douluo obviously didn't notice Tang Shan's expression starting to crumble, and continued to recount the information he had just gained, "She seems to be from some hidden family. She got separated from her family in the Star Dou Great Forest. I told her to come with us first, and then go back when her family comes looking for her. After all, the Star Dou Great Forest is still too dangerous for her."
Tang Shan was unsure what expression to make. The Serpent Spear Douluo's words contained too many elements, any one of which would be explosive on its own, let alone when they were piled together.
Tang Shan really wanted to say: Senior She, there's definitely no danger in letting her go on her own. Returning to the Star Dou Great Forest is just like coming home for her, how could there be any danger?
Also, should we leave a little earlier and just leave them here? If their "family" really comes looking for us, it's hard to say whether the two of us will be able to get out alive.
Although Tang Shan wanted to immediately grab the Serpent Spear Douluo and turn around and leave, reason forced him to restrain himself.
After all, it's possible that he just happened to encounter the silver dragon fish by chance, but if he pulls the Serpent Spear Douluo around and leaves, it's very likely to arouse her suspicion, and then it's hard to say what will happen.
As Tang Shan pondered, he couldn't help but recall the image of the girl holding the yellow creature that he had accidentally seen a few days ago in the original Diamond Mammoth habitat. It turned out that it wasn't an illusion. What kind of luck is this? What kind of nonsense is it to encounter the final boss right after arriving in the Star Dou Great Forest?
Tang Shan was unaware that even if he hadn't encountered Gu Yue by chance, his entry into the soul ring and soul skill space while absorbing the Diamond Mammoth Soul Ring would inevitably have attracted her, given the very clear fluctuations in the rules.
"I think this girl has good talent. Tangshan, see if you can get her to join His Highness's ranks later."
Tang Shan's lips twitched again. He added the Silver Dragon King to the Divine Legacy to ensure that the Silver Dragon King wouldn't suddenly go berserk and slap the Angel Miss to death.
"Senior, I will try my best."
Tang Shan could only answer like this, but in his heart he was already calculating how to prevent the Silver Dragon King and Qian Renxue from meeting. As for the Serpent Spear Douluo's suggestion to recruit him into His Highness's ranks, Tang Shan said, "I don't want to see the Silver Dragon King kill the Angel Inheritor today and then have a war of gods happening above my head tomorrow."
After a quick cleanup, Serpent Spear Douluo and Tang Shan leaped up the tree where Gu Yue was.
Looking at the delicate and attractive face beneath the black hair on the tree branch, and the large yellow cat held in her arms, Tang Shan felt a sense of helplessness.
Why would you need to disguise yourself? If you had silver hair, big silver or purple eyes, and a perfect face, how could I not recognize you?
As it turns out, you really did bring out Gu Yue's standard attire.
With a pleasing but not stunning appearance, and holding a large cat in her arms, no one would guess it was you, sir.
Tang Shan was speechless with frustration, and then realized why he had felt a sense of déjà vu before.
During the Douluo Continent III era, wasn't it a Silver Dragonfish who found the human form of the Golden Dragon King by fishing for a Crystal Bear in the Spirit Ascension Platform Forest?
Goodness, we've found the reason why he'll do this in the future—he has a history of it.
While his mind raced, Tang Shan had already calmed his body. After all, Gu Yue was once a God-King level expert, and he didn't know what tricks she might have up her sleeve. But if she found out that he knew her true identity, it was hard to say what would happen to him.
You may underestimate the Silver Dragon King's astonishing "wisdom," but you must never underestimate her elemental power.
With the help of his dramatically improved physical abilities after the breakthrough, Tang Shan quickly approached the branch where Gu Yue was located.
A small, white hand reached out in front of him, and Tang Shan instinctively reached out to it. With the help of the hand's owner, he successfully climbed to the top of the tree and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Yue."
Gu Yue smiled, her eyes, like black gemstones, filled with curiosity.
Tang Shan, who had just come to his senses, suddenly relaxed a little when he looked into the other person's clear eyes.
He looked at the other person and a smile appeared on his face: "My name is Tang Shan."
Never mind, let's just take it one step at a time. Anyway, judging from Gu Yue's actions in the original work, although she was a bit love-struck, she obviously didn't indiscriminately kill innocent people. In fact, the way she fought for the rights of the soul beasts in the end was very gentle, so there shouldn't be much of a crisis.
Tangshan did indeed lower its guard against Gu Yue, and the reason was indeed influenced by the original work.
After all, this is the era of one-man showdown.
It wasn't that the Divine Beast of the Second Battle was kidnapped by Huo Yuhao, and there was a period before that when the Body Sect hunted down 100,000-year-old soul beasts in large numbers;
It wasn't during the period when Huo Yuhao in Douluo Continent III researched and developed the great thunder of soul spirits, which almost led to the extinction of soul beasts;
Although Soul Masters hunt Soul Beasts, Soul Beasts also hunt Soul Masters; there is no deep-seated hatred between them.
There is absolutely no need to worry about soul beasts retaliating against humans.
With his mind made up, Tang Shan's thoughts began to race. Putting aside the fact that the Silver Dragon King was still at least a first or second-level god despite being seriously injured, what was this girl in front of him? She was a powerful ally, a powerful ally no less than Qian Renxue. If he could hold onto this fair and strong ally, then what would he have to fear in the entire Douluo Continent?
You have to understand, this is the first battle now. The one in the sky is still the old Asura God. He's a homebody now. In fact, most of the gods in the current God Realm are homebodies and rarely interfere with the mortal realm, unlike a certain future Buddha who sends a divine descent at the drop of a hat.
There are no enemies in the sky. Douluo has the Silver Dragon King as a Soul Beast and Qian Renxue as a Soul Master. In the entire Douluo Continent, apart from guarding against Bibi Dong, what else does he have to fear?
As long as I hold onto this powerful figure, my future spiritual practice, while not guaranteed to be smooth sailing, will certainly be peaceful and safe.
With his plan in mind, Tangshan was determined not to let such a golden opportunity slip by.
Gu Yue was completely unaware that the human she was meeting for the first time had already plotted against her. She was walking beside Tang Shan, with Serpent Spear Douluo ahead of them, and the three of them were heading towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
“Auspicious Beast, look, I easily took down this human Soul Master in one go.”
Gu Yue's voice transmission rang in the ears of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The three-eyed golden lion, which had transformed into a large yellow cat, rubbed against Gu Yue's cheek and then swayed in front of her.
"Oh, I forgot, I sealed your mouth shut. Never mind, my auspicious beast, you'd better hold back for a while. After all, you can't meow, and it wouldn't be good if you couldn't control yourself and started talking like a human."
Gu Yuehua ignored the increasingly resentful look in the eyes of a certain auspicious beast, and instead pretended to accidentally knock the beast away, then hurriedly chased after it and picked it up, trying to attract Tang Shan's attention.
At this moment, Tang Shan also noticed the big yellow cat in Gu Yue's arms. Although he didn't know that Gu Yue had dropped it on purpose, he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity to chat.
As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. One wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Tangshan and explore his secrets, while the other wanted to seize the opportunity to cling to his coattails. The two quickly became very close, truly a "two-way trip".
"Is this your pet spirit beast?"
Tang Shan looked at the large yellow cat in the other person's arms with some curiosity, wondering where this Silver Dragon King had found such a soul beast. It looked quite beautiful.
"That's right, it's very comfortable to hug, you can try it."
Ignoring the auspicious beast's protesting and indignant gaze, Gu Yue simply extended both hands forward, delivering the "big cat" to Tangshan.
At the same time, Gu Yue also spoke to the auspicious beast in a "heartfelt" voice: "Auspicious beast, this is part of the plan. For the revival of the soul beasts, you will have to make some sacrifices. If you do not object, I will take it as your consent."
The three-eyed golden lion's eyes widened, its limbs flailing wildly as it looked at its master, thinking, "If you don't take back the method that seals my mouth, how can I speak up and object?"
"Let me touch it."
Tang Shan looked at the four kicking, wildly moving "big cat" spirit beasts and couldn't help but scrutinize them from all angles.
He subconsciously pinched the other's tail and rubbed it. The body that was still thrashing in his arms suddenly stiffened and then went limp.
What breed is this?
Tangshan grew increasingly curious and turned the "big cat's" head toward him, only to be met with a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent and anger that seemed to be spitting fire.
