Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

Tang San felt a buzzing sound in his head, and the twisted fire of jealousy in his heart burned wildly like oil being poured on it.

He had been reflecting deeply on his mistakes and had been cultivating day and night, pushing himself to the limit. He had finally managed to increase his soul power. He thought he was a genius, and that given time, he would repay the humiliation he had suffered a thousandfold.

But now, reality is like a resounding slap across his face.

Not only is the other party absorbing a spirit ring, but it's a ten-thousand-year spirit ring that he wouldn't even dare to dream of!

"Why...why did this happen!" Tang San roared inwardly, his crimson eyes filled with resentment and bitterness.

He struggled with all his might to keep up with the other person's back, only to be mercilessly left far behind again at a speed that filled him with despair.

Wouldn't he fall even further behind? What would all his hard work during this time amount to then?

Jealousy and helplessness intertwined as he stared intently at the slowly rotating black spirit ring in front of Qian San. If looks could kill, he would have loved to rush up right now and snatch that spirit ring that didn't belong to him!

The atmosphere in the open space plummeted to freezing the moment Shrek and his friends burst in.

When Franya and Zhao Youji saw the group of familiar faces in front of them, they were slightly taken aback at first. Then, they exchanged a tacit glance and a helpless yet slightly mocking sneer appeared on their faces.

Only now did they understand why that incredibly powerful senior had suddenly hidden himself and his men a second earlier.

With that senior's perception, he must have already sensed the approach of Shrek Academy's group. The fact that he didn't take action clearly showed that he was too lazy to waste time on these people, and he was also intentionally delegating this task of dealing with the small fry to them.

"Who do we think is making such a racket in this Sunset Forest?" Although Zhao Youji did not materialize the Corrosion Hammer in his hand, the pressure of the Soul Douluo was released without any restraint, pressing down firmly on the shoulders of the Shrek Academy members.

Franya stepped forward, arms crossed, and surveyed the frozen crowd opposite her. A mocking smile played on her lips. "Long time no see, everyone. What, weren't you beaten enough at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's training ground? Your injuries... healed so quickly?"

These words were like a poisoned knife, stabbing into the lungs of the Shrek members.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others' faces instantly turned purplish-red, their teeth grinding together. That memory of being unilaterally crushed and thrown into the martial arts arena like a dead dog was their most sensitive sore spot. Now, with that old memory being brought up again, they wished they could unleash their martial spirits and fight to the death on the spot.

"Mu Bai! Step back!"

Just as Dai Mubai was about to lose control of his anger, Flander, who was standing at the front, suddenly reached out and pressed down hard on his shoulder.

Flander's forehead was already covered in a layer of cold sweat.

He knew better than anyone that the two people standing opposite him were genuine Soul Masters! And these two were ruthless and showed no mercy.

Fortunately, Xiao Gang was unable to come due to his injury, and Er Long stayed at the academy to take care of him; otherwise, a major battle would have been inevitable today.

Now that Yu Xiaogang has been crippled, if their group were to clash with the other side here, Shrek Academy might really be wiped out in this Sunset Forest today.

Circumstances dictate that he had no choice but to yield.

Flander forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, adopted a humble posture, took two steps forward, cupped his hands, and said:

"We apologize, seniors. We were just bringing our students to acquire spirit rings and happened to pass by. We heard fighting sounds coming from here and thought it was a high-level spirit beast attacking humans. We wanted to come and see if we could help. We didn't expect to disturb your business. We are truly sorry, we will leave now!"

After saying that, Flander didn't give the students any chance to speak. He quickly turned around, opened his arms, and pushed Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others back forcefully like herding ducks.

"Go! Go now!" Flander hissed.

In the group, Tang San was pushed back two steps by Flander. Although he didn't show his anger on his face like Dai Mubai, the resentment in his heart was like a venomous snake gnawing at his reason.

He knew Flander's decision was right, and now was not the time to be stubborn.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. However, when his gaze passed over Flander's shoulder and fixed on the boy sitting cross-legged in the center of the open space, resentment almost tore his chest apart.

"He's actually broken through to the Soul King level..."

"And what about me? I haven't even gotten my fourth spirit ring yet!"

The immense sense of loss from being left far behind by his nemesis made Tang San feel suffocated.

Just as Shrek and his group were about to slink back into the bushes, a strange change suddenly occurred in the center of the clearing.

"Buzz—"

A powerful surge of energy erupted from Qian San's center. The black ten-thousand-year soul ring that had been floating in mid-air stopped spinning completely at that moment, transforming into a deep black stream of light that directly entered Qian San's body.

Soul Ring Absorption Complete!

With the integration of the spirit ring, a startling change occurred to Qian San's body. The blue-silver liquid metal armor that he was used to wearing, covering his entire body, did not appear. In its place, he wore pure spider armor.

A hard outer shell, interwoven with deep blue and dark silver, rapidly grew and coalesced on his body. This armor was known as the Blue Silver Spider Armor.

It no longer possesses the fluidity of liquid metal, but rather the indestructible texture of the Titan Rock Armor Spider.

What is most striking are his arms.

On the outside of Qian San's forearm, accompanied by two metallic scraping sounds, two thick, dark silver spider spears shot out directly from the top of the spider armor's arm guards! These two spider spears gleamed with a ghostly light, and their sharpness was enough to easily tear through steel.

Beneath Qian San's feet, his spirit rings rose up in circles.

Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black!

Five spirit rings pulsed rhythmically around his body.

Especially those two ten-thousand-year spirit rings, which made the Shrek Academy members temporarily forget their hatred and feel only envy.

Qian San slowly opened his eyes. He was about to stand up and tell his father the good news when he was surprised to find Shrek Academy and his group standing not far away.

He was taken aback, clearly not expecting this group of defeated opponents to appear here.

However, just as Qian San had just broken through and his aura was not yet fully contained, an unexpected change occurred!

The power within him, which had just merged with his martial soul and belonged to the benevolent god-king of the [Inner Realm], spread outwards along with his released soul power.

The moment the ripple swept across the Shrek Academy team, Tang San's body stiffened abruptly.

In the deepest part of Tang San's spiritual sea, the evil divine thought that had been lurking and guiding him seemed to be attracted by the most familiar aura and instantly awakened!

"Kind??!"
