Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 16 Sisi's Soul Skill: Silkworm Pupae

"Is there any difference?"

Although the ribbon martial soul has richer details and traces of weaving, the ribbon itself is still very smooth, and Su Yuntao's eyesight cannot detect any difference.

Of course, even the smallest trace is difficult to detect with the naked eye because it is so tiny.

She was able to sense it because the ribbon was her martial soul.

Wearing reading glasses, Matthew was the second to notice the weaving marks: "Your martial spirit is indeed different from before. There are weaving marks on it, making it look more like a real ribbon."

"That's the change. I feel my ribbon is more flexible and not so easy to tear." After saying that, Sisi looked at Su Yuntao and said, "How about we have a competition? Let's see how much stronger I've become."

"Alright, I'll see too. Sisi, how much stronger have you become since you got your second soul skill?" Su Yuntao was also eager to see his girlfriend's progress, but he still believed he was stronger. "I'll go easy on her."

After all, his soul power had reached level twenty-four!

Sisi has just obtained her second soul ring, and her soul power is at most level 21.

From the perspective of Soul Masters' counters, the control type counters the offensive type, but his Soul Power is three levels higher than Sisi's, and he can fight beyond his level, so Sisi definitely cannot control him.

Besides, Sisi is a woman, so she is naturally weaker than him.

If I don't give in a little, I'm afraid I'll have to spend money to coax them for a while afterward.

The two did not exchange names or ranks as they would in a normal battle. After all, they were a couple and knew each other well, so there was no need for such formalities, especially since this was not a proper battle arena.

As a gentleman, Su Yuntao naturally wouldn't make the first move.

Besides, Sisi is his girlfriend. If he makes the first move in order to win, he probably won't be able to get into Sisi's bed tonight.

"Hehe, then I'll make the first move." A sly glint appeared in Sisi's eyes as she unleashed her first soul skill, Entanglement, sending a white ribbon hurtling towards Su Yuntao.

Su Yuntao was already familiar with Sisi's entanglement soul skill and began to dodge. However, he found that Sisi's first soul skill was much more agile, truly like a long white snake, winding and coiling.

In addition, the softness of the ribbon made it difficult for Su Yuntao to judge the turning point of the entanglement.

Therefore, Su Yuntao planned to grab the ribbon with wolf claws and tear it apart, since the ribbon was not as strong as a rope or chain.

However, Su Yuntao was extremely surprised when he grasped the ribbon.

In the past, it wouldn't have taken much effort for him to tear the ribbons into pieces, but now, he needs to use his soul power to tear them apart, and the consumption of his soul power exceeds 30% of the total.

Su Yuntao knew that the Silk Ribbon Martial Soul consumed little soul power, and with level 21 soul power, he estimated that he could release the first soul skill about ten times.

If he needs to consume 30% of his soul power every time he is entangled, then Sisi will have her soul power completely depleted after just four times.

However, Su Yuntao believes that it is now his turn to give in to his girlfriend.

After all, in a real battle, he wouldn't give Sisi a chance to unleash her soul skill. He would directly rush in front of her and strike with his claw, ensuring a decisive victory.

Furthermore, once it is confirmed that the other party is an enemy, they will try their best not to give the other party any chance to release their martial spirit.

When one's own life is at stake, how can one expect the enemy to be virtuous?

If you can defeat your opponent in one move, you absolutely won't need a second one!

"Sisi, shouldn't I see your second soul skill now?" Su Yuntao tore apart Sisi's first soul skill. He had consumed a lot of soul power, but he still smoothed his bangs to show his ease.

"In that case, I'll show you my second soul skill."

"Silkworms transform into pupae!"

In an instant, ten ribbons appeared in Sisi's hand and wrapped around Su Yuntao.

Second Soul Skill: Wolverine Claw!

With his first soul skill, Su Yuntao had already consumed nearly 30% of his soul power. Since there were ten soul skills in total, Su Yuntao naturally dared not be careless and immediately released his second soul skill.

However, the indestructible Wolverine claws suffered a setback this time.

The wolf's claws slashed at the ribbon as if they were slashing at thin air, as if the ribbon did not exist at all.

But when the ribbon touched his skin, Su Yuntao could clearly feel its smoothness.

"Sure enough, Sister Sisi's ribbon martial soul has evolved under the blessing of the Banyan Silkworm Soul Ring, becoming lighter and smoother, which is due to the characteristics of the Banyan Silkworm's silk."

"Brother Tao's Wolverine claws are incredibly sharp, but they can't cut through the air, so naturally they can't cut through a ribbon that can float freely in the air either."

"This might be another interpretation of using softness to overcome hardness..."

Tang San smiled, pleased that Sisi had obtained a soul skill that was extremely suitable for her. However, his gaze then fell on the ribbon fragments on the ground.

Those were remnants of the ribbon after Sisi's first soul skill was torn apart by Su Yuntao.

Logically speaking, martial spirits and spirit skills are not physical entities; once they are released, they will dissipate into nothingness.

However, fragments of the ribbon from Sisi's first soul skill were still scattered on the ground...

At this moment, Su Yuntao was already bound tightly by ten ribbons, just like he had been bound by the silkworm's silk before.

This time, however, he couldn't break free so easily with his Wolverine claws.

"No, I have to use my soul power." Su Yuntao felt that if he continued like this, he would lose all face, so he injected his soul power into the Wolverine Claw.

Hiss!

Instantly, the ribbons on his body were shattered.

But this also consumed a large amount of his soul power.

"Hoo~ Sisi, your second soul skill is really good. It takes a lot of soul power to break free. It seems you inherited the stickiness of the Banyan Silkworm's silk thread." Su Yuntao panted and gave Sisi a thumbs up.

"My second soul skill isn't even finished yet, take this!" Sisi covered her mouth and chuckled, her right hand forming a fist, gathering nearly half of her soul power, and shouted, "Rise, you bastard!"

In an instant, all the fragments of the ribbons floated up, reconnected with each other, and transformed into a tornado-like shape, continuously wrapping around Su Yuntao.

With his soul power almost exhausted, Su Yuntao had no power to resist and was bound into a rice dumpling by Sisi with ribbons.

According to Sisi, it is an insect cocoon.

"Sisi, your second soul skill is so effective? It can actually regain control of the ribbon fragments and wrap them around the enemy? Does the range increase with the amount of soul power?" Matthew couldn't help but ask. If this soul skill is used well, it will be much easier to deal with a large number of resisters during law enforcement in the future.

"I feel okay, but just now I used up nearly half of my soul power. The more fragments there are, the more difficult it is to control. I'm a little dizzy now." Sisi rubbed her temples, looking somewhat tired.

At this moment, as Sisi relaxed and her martial spirit was withdrawn, Su Yuntao regained his freedom, but his expression was somewhat helpless: "Now look what's happened, I'm no match for you anymore, Sisi, don't give up on me because of this, I'm already yours."

Faced with Su Yuntao's antics, Sisi sighed helplessly and said, "There are children here, be careful."

"Ahem!" Tang San coughed twice, pretending not to understand, and said seriously, "Brother Tao, don't worry, Sisi won't give up on you. And can you honestly say that you didn't hold back? If it were a life-or-death battle, Sisi probably wouldn't even have a chance to release her martial soul... But to be honest, if Sisi's soul power were a bit higher, even if you could win, it would be very difficult. After all, Sisi's martial soul is very gentle. If it continues to develop in the future, you might not be able to cut it off."

"What Xiao Tang said is right. Everyone's martial soul has its own characteristics. By giving full play to their respective advantages, they can become powerful soul masters." Matthew also gave an objective evaluation. "In the future, the two of you working together and cooperating with each other will surely make you well-known in Notting City. Sisi is good at control, and you are good at attack. With more cooperation, even the Soul Sect might not be able to do anything to you."

Matthew said this not only to encourage the two of them, but also to try and bring Su Yuntao and Sisi together.

Why is it that using the two martial souls together can achieve a better killing effect?

In the future, after he retires or is transferred to another city, these two will become the face of Notting Martial Soul Branch Hall.

Su Yuntao said, "Haha, it seems that in terms of attack power, I am still a notch above."

Sisi snorted, "Hmph! Without my control, you might not be able to hit anyone in your future battles."

The next step was to help Tang San hunt down the plant-type spirit beast he needed—the Thousand-Root Banyan.

Tang San took off the bundle he was carrying on his back, revealing one of the lead boxes, which was the lead box that had once been used to store the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.

However, Tang San is now using it to store tools.

Open it up, and inside are four large saws.

"Holy crap, we're really going to be lumberjacks?" Su Yuntao's eyes widened, and his eyelids twitched.

"There's no other way. The Thousand Banyan Tree is a single tree. I can only obtain the soul ring I need by cutting it down." Tang San took out a saw and handed it to Ma Xiunuo, Su Yuntao, and Sisi.

"I think you've overlooked something." Su Yuntao's eyes flickered, trying to shirk responsibility. "Only the spirit rings of spirit beasts you kill yourself can be absorbed. If we're all chopping wood together and a spirit ring pops up in the end, who gets the ring? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

"The Thousand-Root Banyan is special. Only when all the exposed roots are cut off will a spirit ring emerge."

"So, Brother Tao, don't even think about slacking off. Just leave the last root to me."

Tang San said something that Tao Ge couldn't refute.

"Also, the trunks of these thousand banyan trees are excellent carving materials for some sculptors, but most of them are not Soul Masters and cannot come to the Soul Hunting Forest. We will sell them and split the money."
