Douluo Continent: Possessing Tang San's Body, Inheriting Life and Destruction

Tang San was completely speechless after Yu Xiaogang's explanation. "He's using me as an experiment."

There's nothing wrong with plant-based martial souls absorbing animal soul beasts, but at the very least, the attributes must match.

In the original novel, Tang San succeeded because the Mysterious Heaven Skill acted as a mediator, preventing any disruption to his cultivation in the early stages. Later, thanks to the blessing of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, and perhaps because Tang San himself realized his mistake, he never again added poison-attribute spirit rings to the Blue Silver Emperor.

However, he currently lacks the Mysterious Heaven Skill. If he rashly follows Yu Xiaogang's path, at best he will suffer a backlash from his soul rings, and at worst his martial soul will collapse.

Yu Xiaogang only cared about whether his theory could be proven correct. Tang San was merely an "experiment" used to verify his conjectures.

Thinking this through, Tang San didn't want to waste any more words with this person, and said calmly, "Let's go to the Soul Hunting Forest first. We can see if there are any suitable soul beasts there, and then decide."

Yu Xiaogang clearly didn't detect the perfunctory tone in Tang San's words. Instead, he thought Tang San had accepted his opinion, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Alright. Let's target snakes or spiders. These two types of spirit beasts have the most potent toxins, which will have the best effect when applied to Blue Silver Grass."

Yu Xiaogang's tone carried a hint of smugness.

Tang San did not answer, but leaned against the carriage wall, slowly closed his eyes, and pretended to be resting.

The carriage continued on its way, but Tang San inwardly sneered.

In fact, Tang San had already made his own plans.

Blue silver grass is a plant with extremely strong vitality. Anyone who thinks about it for a little while can understand this.

As the saying goes: Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life.

Even fire cannot kill Blue Silver Grass, demonstrating its remarkable resilience. This resilience is the core and most valuable characteristic of Blue Silver Grass, not its "weakness that makes it resistant to all attributes."

Tang San's goal was clear: to select plant-type soul beasts with strong vitality and continuously accumulate vitality for the Blue Silver Grass.

Plant-type spirit beasts, such as flowers with strong vitality, as well as thorns, vines, and ancient trees, possess spirit rings containing pure life force. This life force is highly compatible with the original attributes of Blue Silver Grass, making absorption twice as effective with half the effort and minimizing the risk of backlash.

Having such strong vitality has many benefits.

First, he can summon an endless supply of Blue Silver Grass. The stronger his vitality, the faster the Blue Silver Grass regenerates, the wider its coverage area, and the stronger his sustained combat ability. While others are exhausted after unleashing a powerful attack, Tang San can continuously output damage, wearing down his opponents until they are defeated.

Secondly, it can continuously strengthen the physical body. The life force attached to the spirit ring will nourish the host's body, increasing basic life force, spirit power recovery speed, stamina limit, and self-healing ability. While an ordinary spirit master needs ten days to half a month to recover from an injury, Tang San might be fine after just one night's sleep.

Even toxin resistance increases with vitality. A body with extremely vigorous vitality is itself a powerful immune system, and most toxins are metabolized before they even have a chance to take effect.

Ultimately, if this path is taken to its extreme, Tang San might achieve a state close to "immortality." He would be immune to all poisons and heal himself from all wounds, standing on the battlefield like an ancient tree rooted in the earth, unmoved by wind and rain.

At that time, the Blue Silver Grass in his right hand will grant him immortality; the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand will transform into a hammer of destruction.

On one side is an inexhaustible vitality, and on the other is an overwhelming destructive force.

This combination is so powerful that its combat strength is simply terrifying beyond imagination.

Tang San sketched out this blueprint in his mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it again.

Tang San did not tell Yu Xiaogang about these thoughts.

There's no need to, and you shouldn't, say anything. Yu Xiaogang is someone who can't tolerate different opinions. The more you try to reason with him, the more he'll feel you're challenging his authority.

Instead of wasting time arguing, it's better to wait until we reach the Soul Hunter Forest and then proceed according to our plan.

Nottingham City is about four hundred miles from the Soul Hunter Forest. It's not a long distance, but it's not short either. The carriage swayed and bumped along for more than a day, and it wasn't until noon on the second day that they arrived at the outskirts of the Soul Hunter Forest.

Tang San poked his head out of the carriage and saw a dark, dense forest in the distance.

The carriage stopped outside the fence; this was the entrance to the Soul Hunter Forest.

Yu Xiaogang took out a token from his pocket and handed it to one of the guards. The man looked at it carefully, nodded, returned the token, and stepped aside to make way.

"Let's go." Yu Xiaogang put away the warrant and took the lead into the forest, with Tang San following behind.

The light suddenly dimmed the moment we entered the forest.

Yu Xiaogang stopped and shouted in a low voice, "Come out, Luo Sanpao."

He clasped his hands together in front of him, and a ball of purple light shone from his palms, quickly condensing into a physical form.

"Luo Luo!!"

A muffled cry rang out, and a creature entirely purple appeared out of thin air in front of the two.

Tang San looked closely and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

The creature was about a meter long, round and plump, with short, thick limbs, a large head and a small body. Its two ears drooped on either side of its head, and its large, round nose turned upwards, revealing two dark nostrils. Its entire body was covered with a layer of pale purple fur, which gleamed faintly in the dim light.

At first glance, it looks exactly like a fat, purple pig.

No, it's fatter than a pig.

Tang San suppressed the twitching at the corner of his mouth and tried his best to maintain an expression of "pure curiosity".

"Little Three," Yu Xiaogang pointed at the purple creature, "this is my martial soul, I call it Luo Sanpao."

Tang San feigned surprise, widening his eyes: "But, teacher, isn't the manifestation of a beast spirit supposed to be possession? Why is it...?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened slightly, then a bitter look appeared on his face: "Because my martial soul is a mutated martial soul. However, its mutation is clearly in a bad direction."

Tang San didn't reply, his gaze lingering on Luo Sanpao for a few more moments. Tang San always felt that Luo Sanpao, like his own Blue Silver Grass, should essentially be an extremely powerful martial soul. It was just that its foundation might have been damaged in its youth, resulting in insufficient energy during awakening and preventing it from fully awakening, which is why it had become what it is now.

Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang doesn't have a God's-eye view and can't see this.

Tang San shook his head, not revealing his thoughts.

"Sanpao, lead the way." Yu Xiaogang put away the bitterness on his face and waved to Luo Sanpao.

"Luo Luo."

Luo Sanpao nodded and swayed as he walked towards the depths of the forest on his short, stubby legs, sniffing the ground incessantly.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang followed behind. As they walked, Yu Xiaogang explained things to Tang San. His voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly audible in the quiet forest.

"The soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest are divided into four levels according to their age: ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years, and ten thousand years. The older the soul beast, the stronger it is, and the more dangerous it is..."

Tang San listened without saying a word.
