Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Naruto Divine Tree; I Devour the World

Chapter 20 The Ultimate Deception of Prison Little Anus

Yu Xiaogang was so excited that her voice was trembling.

My heart was pounding like a drum, and the joy of surviving the ordeal brought tears streaming down my face.

Tang San's face began to show hesitation.

Having lived two lives, and being a transmigrator with memories of his past life, he should have used his valuable knowledge from his previous life to overwhelm others and create a great career.

But now he's being told he can only absorb a thirty-year soul ring, which is less than one-tenth of the theoretical limit?

Let alone someone as proud and self-important as the Third Prince, who the hell could accept such a harsh reality?

Unless you're an idiot.

If the person in front of him hadn't been the teacher he had knelt down and kowtowed to, swearing an oath to be his teacher for life, it would have been someone else who would have been attacked with hidden weapons long ago.

After a moment of surprise, Bingqing Yujie tilted her head, her expression one of utter astonishment.

He said in utter disbelief:

"Teacher, you're not talking about this little snake, are you?"

"Yes, that's it."

Yu Xiaogang's resolute voice

This filled Tang San with intense hatred. He clenched his fist tightly, and his lowered eyes flashed with a fierce light.

All sorts of random thoughts started popping into my head.

For example, the use of hidden weapons and martial arts techniques at such close range must have been seen by Yu Xiaogang.

Possessing artifacts and abilities that do not belong to this world is a secret that must never be known to outsiders, not even one's closest relatives.

Should we kill them to silence them?

Luo Sanpao has used up all his attack attempts.

As long as he reloads the arrows into the machine gun, he is at least 90% confident of victory, given the lethality and unique nature of the silent sleeve dart.

However, the reputation of betraying one's master and ancestors is so terrible that one will carry this infamy for the rest of one's life and will never be able to wash it away.

After much deliberation, Bingqing Yujie decided to listen to what the other party had to say first, just in case they had some kind of difficulty.

"Teacher, shouldn't Blue Silver Grass be a plant-type martial soul? But the Mandragora Serpent is an animal-type soul beast."

Didn't you say that the choice of spirit rings should be based on the characteristics and development direction of the martial soul as much as possible?

"Furthermore, the time limit is far too short. As you just taught us, a soul beast's strength is related to its size. Thirty centimeters means it only has thirty years of lifespan?"

Yu Xiaogang took in Tang San's expression and actions, and felt a pang of regret.

Unfortunately, I had reasons that forced me to do it.

Gangzi took a deep breath and quickly organized his thoughts.

He has fooled countless people and things in the past, but this is definitely one of the most challenging problems.

Besides being divided into ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year categories, spirit rings also have significant differences within the same level.

For example, a ten-thousand-year soul ring,

For every hurdle crossed—below 40,000 years, between 40,000 and 70,000 years, between 70,000 and 90,000 years, and above 90,000 years—their strength will change significantly.

The same applies to Soul Masters; four, seven, and nine are important dividing lines.

Once you reach the fourth ring, you can begin to acquire noble titles and serve as the lord of a small city, the dean of a junior academy, or the hall master of a martial soul branch hall. As for the Soul Saint and other titles, they need no further explanation.

In other words,

Even a thirty-year-old Mandragora Snake would be considered the absolute waste among white soul rings, definitely a low-grade yellow-rank snake.

Let a genius with twin martial souls and innate full soul power absorb this kind of soul ring...

Yes, this conversation is indeed very challenging; we have to pull out all the stops.

"Little San, we don't have much time left, teacher, please get to the point."

You're right. Under normal circumstances, spirit rings should indeed match the spirit as much as possible, and many spirit masters do this.

However, is it right to always be this way?

Those mediocre soul masters have no hope of standing out in the future, and they have long lost their ambition, so they just follow the crowd and drift with the tide.

Because even if this isn't the best, it won't be the worst either; their goal is simply to be mediocre and ordinary.

But you are different; you have my guidance.

"You will surely reach the pinnacle of power in the future, but you must walk the most difficult path—the only, unique path, the path only you can traverse."

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, although her eyes were looking up into the distance, her peripheral vision kept glancing at Tang San's face.

Seeing him bow his head in deep thought, I felt much more at ease.

Not immediately refuting means you're still hesitating, and hesitation means you have a chance. Just put in the extra effort and victory will be yours.

He quickly pressed his advantage, saying:

"The ten core competencies of martial spirit that I have painstakingly researched and developed throughout my life are the guiding light tailored just for you."

This book contains a theory called Martial Soul Mimicry.

The point is that plant-based martial souls don't necessarily need to absorb plant-based soul rings.

The energy produced by animal-type soul beasts is not necessarily unabsorbable; if the selection is perfect enough, the effect can even be better.

do you remember?

As I mentioned before I came, the biggest advantage of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, which is considered a useless martial soul, is its non-exclusivity.

Because it is too weak, it cannot resist or conflict with any attributes or abilities attached to the spirit ring, and can only passively accept the modification.

According to the teacher's plan

Venomous snake-type spirit beasts are the most suitable for you. They will not only increase the resilience of your Blue Silver Grass, but also grant you some toxins, thereby enhancing your control abilities.

The toxins in my legs are already spreading throughout my body.

Yu Xiaogang's face began to change color, but his expression and tone never relaxed in the slightest.

It was as if a master was discussing the Tao, exuding strong self-confidence, along with an air of unquestionable authority and patient guidance.

"There's one more thing, and it's the most important thing: if we don't absorb it, we'll both die a violent death today."

Do you know why that 400-year-old mandrake snake left?

It hasn't given up; it's just waiting for us to fall.

This is one of the hunting methods that poison-attribute soul beasts are most accustomed to and best at: first, they try to poison their prey, then follow them from a distance, and feast on them after they have fallen unconscious or died.

We've already been treated as its prey; the only thing we can do now is find a way to detoxify ourselves.

A thirty-year spirit ring might not be ideal, but compared to my life, everything else is insignificant.

"Will absorbing the Mandragora Serpent's soul ring cure the poison?"

Tang San looked bewildered.

This is also the point that puzzles him the most. Even if a plant-type martial soul can truly absorb an animal-type soul ring, it doesn't necessarily have to be a thirty-year-old Mandragora Serpent, right?

Would other snakes that are a hundred years old work?

Since the limit for the first spirit ring is 432 years, he felt that his own should be at least 423 years to match his status.

At the very least, it should be yellow, right?

Thirty years?

Even dogs wouldn't want that.

Hearing that Bing Qingyujie's tone seemed to indicate a willingness to relent, Yu Xiaogang was immediately so excited that his heart pounded wildly.

He told many lies, but the one thing he didn't lie about was, "Life is the most important thing."

Who would choose to die if they could live?

Therefore, even close disciples have to make some concessions.
