Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 29 Tang San happily obtains a four-year soul ring

"Watch out! Something seems to be approaching!"

Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang assumed a fighting stance, and Tang San and Bai Yu became alert.

Although Bai Yu could guess what it was, he still dared not let his guard down, after all, Yu Xiaogang was definitely no match for him.

Soon, a datura snake emerged from the grass and pounced on the three of them with lightning speed.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice:

"Now I'll teach you a mantra: More soul, more bones, unleash a powerful attack! Less soul, less bones, run for your lives!"

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang took out three masks, giving one to Bai Yu and one to Tang San, and instructed them:

"I'm about to unleash my soul skill, then you all run!"

Bai Yu nodded, didn't even take the mask, and immediately took off running!

What a moron! Why should I stay put and smell farts? I'll just run and let you cover my retreat, won't I?

Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded.

Didn't we agree that you'd wait for me to unleash my soul skill before running away? Why did you run away ahead of time?

The hissing of the Datura snake brought Yu Xiaogang back to his senses. He quickly instructed Luo Sanpao to fart, which made the Datura snake stop. Then Tang San also farted, and the two of them took off running, following Bai Yu!

Bai Yu shouted as he ran:

"Master, I'm a support-type Soul Master, I have to run!"

Yu Xiaogang was furious, but the situation was urgent, so he couldn't lash out, because the datura snake, enraged by the stench, had caught up with him!

"Farts are like smoke, hypnotizing and sedating Luo Sanpao!"

Luo Sanpao leaped high into the air, his rear end facing the mandala snake behind him, and once again farted, creating a large amount of smoke from the solid-gas mixture, enveloping the mandala snake and obscuring its outline.

"Did it work?"

Tang San was overjoyed, but the next moment, the Mandala Snake rushed out of the smoke. Feeling humiliated, it became even angrier and faster, instantly catching up to the three of them and opening its mouth to bite them!

[Plot: The datura snake opens its blood-red maw and bites at Yu Xiaogang's foot]

As Bai Yu ran, he changed "feet" to "buttocks".

"Damn it, Sanpao, block it!"

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, and Luo Sanpao pounced on the Datura snake, seemingly to give it an extra meal.

Tang San also summoned the Haotian Dog, and the pig and dog duo pounced on the Mandala Snake from the left and right.

The datura snake hissed twice, flicked its tail, and sent the pig and dog flying. It then lunged to bite Yu Xiaogang's foot!

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang stretched out his right hand, preparing to recall Luo Sanpao. Therefore, he did not pay attention to his footing, tripped over a stone, and fell forward.

The gaping maw of the datura snake grazed past Yu Xiaogang from behind, its sharp teeth leaving a wound on his buttocks!

"ah!!"

Yu Xiaogang screamed and fell to the ground.

Seeing that his teacher was injured, Tang San suddenly stopped, turned around and slid in, then leaped up, activating his Purple Demon Eye and Mysterious Heaven Skill, and actually grabbed the two fangs of the Mandala Serpent with both hands!

The datura snake was startled, but its ferocity flared, and it tried to bite Tang San to death without hesitation. However, it was surprised to find that it couldn't bite him, and the venom on its fangs seemed to have no effect on this human!

Tang San has a cheat code!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang San pulled out a dagger and stabbed the mandala snake through its lower jaw!

The mouth of the datura snake is like a man's genitals; once it suffers a heavy blow, it's all over!

The Mandala Snake flung Tang San away and struggled frantically. Tang San only realized what was happening when he landed, pretending to be terrified, and collapsed into Yu Xiaogang's arms.

"Teacher, I'm so scared."

I'm afraid you'll discover my secret!

While Tang San was feigning pitifulness, he was also secretly observing Yu Xiaogang's reaction. Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang was dim-witted and didn't notice anything. He asked with concern:

"You're too impulsive, mistress! Are you alright?"

Tang San secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, saying:

"no."

As for Bai Yu beside him, Tang San ignored him. Even the Grandmaster couldn't figure it out, so what could he possibly see?

Yu Xiaogang put Tang San down, glanced at the frantically struggling Mandragora Snake, and said excitedly:

"Little San, this is a 400-year-old Mandragora Snake. Your first spirit ring is secured!"

Tang San was taken aback. Yu Xiaogang shook his shoulder and said:

"The general consensus among Soul Masters is that the lifespan of the first Soul Ring is at most 300 years. But according to my theory, the limit for the first Soul Ring is around 423 years. The reason my theory hasn't been accepted is because no one has put it into practice!"

"Mistress, now's your chance! My theory might actually work!"

Tang San genuinely coveted the spirit ring, but he was also completely misled by Yu Xiaogang and ended up agreeing.

Bai Yu felt exhausted watching this.

What kind of master is this? He's never put his own theories into practice, yet he expects his apprentice to do it for him. At least in a lab they use mice for experiments, and this guy's using human subjects!

What if the theory was wrong and he exploded? It was only because Tang San was lucky and had the protagonist's halo that he succeeded.

Hehe, but I'm here today, how could I let you succeed?

Tang San walked over and absorbed the soul ring as instructed by Yu Xiaogang, while the corresponding plot also popped up in front of Bai Yu's eyes.

Tang San killed the Mandragora Serpent and successfully absorbed its 400-year-old spirit ring.

Bai Yu fell into deep thought. If you remove the "four" and make it a hundred-year soul ring? That wouldn't be a big problem for Tang San, it wouldn't be ruthless enough.

By the way, I'll just remove the "hundred" from it, so it's four years of spirit rings!

Four years of spirit rings is enough. You're lucky to have even one spirit ring. You can kill a Title Douluo or a Soul Douluo with a crossbow, so what do you need a spirit ring for? Use your hidden weapons instead!

Bai Yu successfully made the changes, while Tang San was absorbing the spirit ring, his expression pained.

Yu Xiaogang encouraged him from the sidelines:

"Good luck, Little Three! Absorbing a four-hundred-year-old soul ring is a very difficult process, but if you succeed, you will definitely be stronger than... huh?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was astonished to see Tang San open his eyes, and the pained expression on his face suddenly disappeared.

Yu Xiaogang said blankly:

"You succeeded?"

Tang San nodded, somewhat puzzled.

"Teacher, I felt the pain gradually increasing, but then it suddenly disappeared. Is this normal?"

Yu Xiaogang fell into deep thought. He had no idea whether this was a normal phenomenon, but he couldn't lose face in front of Tang San and Bai Yu, so he said in a deep voice:

"If you succeeded, this is normal. Stop talking and show me your spirit rings!"

Tang San nodded, closed his eyes, and summoned his spirit ring.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened, but the spirit ring that appeared before him was not the yellow one he had expected, but white.

"White?"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned. White. Isn't this a ten-year soul ring?

Wait a minute, wasn't this Mandragora Serpent supposed to be four hundred years old? How come absorbing it into a Soul Ring would reduce its lifespan by tenfold?

Just as Yu Xiaogang was bewildered, Tang San's white spirit ring suddenly flashed, the bright white light so dazzling that Yu Xiaogang couldn't open his eyes.

At the same time, Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed.

Sure enough, I knew it! How could it possibly be a ten-year spirit ring? Looks like Xiao San has struck it rich; his spirit ring must be extraordinary!

Soon, the light disappeared, and Yu Xiaogang, his face full of anticipation, stared wide-eyed at what he saw.

Then his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Tang San's spirit rings were still white, and the whiteness appeared faint, like a lamp without electricity, a grayish white.

Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded, and Tang San opened his eyes, also dumbfounded.

"Teacher, what's wrong with me?"

Yu Xiaogang swallowed hard, unable to believe what he was seeing.

This...this seems to be a soul ring with a single-digit lifespan?
