Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 43 God of Divine Punishment: Austin Griffin

Although Tang San talked about these shortcomings, he was actually quite satisfied with this soul skill, and the positive and negative buff seeds could be preserved.

This is also a characteristic of Blue Silver Grass seeds: they have a strong vitality.

Unless in extreme environments, the positive and negative buff seeds created by the second soul skill can exist for nearly three months.

This is a way to make money!

Then, Tang San walked up to the Nine-Section Jadeite, released it, held it in his palm, and infused it with soul power rich in vitality, causing it to show an extremely enjoyable expression.

"From now on, you'll be with me."

Tang San felt that the nine-section jade was easier to subdue than he had imagined, so he tied his long hair into a ponytail and used the nine-section jade as a hair tie to bind his hair.

Nine-sectioned jade was indeed clever. Realizing what its master was about to do, it formed a circle around itself, binding the ponytail.

"Do I look better now?" Tang San asked Xiao Wu.

"Go ahead and admire yourself." Xiao Wu blushed, turned her head away, touched her hair tie, and suddenly wanted a beautiful jade hair tie like that too.

Tang San smiled, picked up the Wood Spirit Mushroom, and said, "The Wood Spirit Mushroom is non-toxic, edible, and tastes delicious. It's perfect to take it back and make a soup to nourish my body."

"But isn't this wood spirit mushroom a mutation?" Xiao Wu asked, a little worried.

"It has mutated, but it is still a Wood Spirit Mushroom in essence. It has a huge vitality and is not poisonous." Tang San tore off a small piece of mushroom flesh and put it on the back of his head. The nine-sectioned jade swallowed it in one gulp and stuck out its little red tongue, as if it was not satisfied.

Nine-section jade is poisonous, but it doesn't intentionally ingest poisonous food.

Xiao Wu nodded, agreeing that the Wood Spirit Mushroom was edible.

On their way out of the Barak Forest, Tang San and Xiao Wu encountered a Soul Hunting Team. They were dressed in fine clothes and numbered twenty or thirty. Judging from their soul power fluctuations, they were all at least Soul Masters, and the leader was even a Soul Saint.

Tang San recognized the group as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School team by the pagoda-shaped insignia on their chests!

In the center of this group were two children, a boy and a girl, who were about the same age as Tang San, around six or seven years old.

"Stop." The boy, seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu, his gaze lingering on Xiao Wu as if he recognized her, stopped the leading Soul Saint. "Young Master, what are your orders?"

"Let them both come over here." The boy pointed at Tang San and Xiao Wu, his attitude arrogant.

"Yes."

The Soul Saint had someone walk over and bring Tang San and Xiao Wu over.

"Who are these guys?" Xiao Wu asked in a low voice as she walked.

"Those two people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, that man and woman, are probably here to hunt souls," Tang San whispered back. "Don't say anything later. These nobles have always looked down on commoners. To avoid trouble, I'll handle it."

"Hmm." Xiao Wu understood. There were nearly thirty of them, the weakest being Soul Masters and the strongest having Soul Power fluctuations emanating from their bodies reaching the Soul Saint level. If a conflict broke out, both of them would be doomed.

When Tang San and Xiao Wu approached the couple, the boy asked casually and flippantly, "What are your names? What are you doing here?"

"Respected young master, my name is Tang San, and she is my younger sister named Tang Wu. We came to the Barak Forest to hunt soul beasts." Tang San bowed respectfully.

"hypocritical."

The boy sneered and bluntly said to the girl next to him, "Rongrong, look how hypocritical this person is! He's clearly very unhappy, but he insists on putting on a respectful attitude."

Rongrong?

Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Tang San was not angry at the boy's sarcasm. Instead, he became concerned about the identity of this "Rongrong". If she was really Ning Fengzhi's daughter, given Ning Fengzhi's doting on his daughter, she should have been accompanied by Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo to hunt souls, rather than a team led by a Soul Saint.

Did this boy, who seems to be a time traveler, change something, or is there some problem within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

As for those hidden in the shadows...

impossible!

If Ning Rongrong were eleven or twelve years old, they would keep a close eye on her so that she could gain some experience. But Ning Rongrong is only six years old now. Given how much those two dote on her, how could they not accompany her?

Therefore, neither Sword Douluo nor Bone Douluo are present.

The girl, whom the boy called Rongrong, rolled her eyes and said with a grin, "I think he's better looking than you."

The boy's face immediately fell, and his gaze towards Tang San was filled with hostility. Inwardly, he was furiously cursing, "At this age, Tang San shouldn't have awakened his Blue Silver Emperor yet, right? Is this what they call 'just average'? Damn it, I'll teach this hypocritical, double-standard bastard a lesson!"

"Isn't this the Soul Hunter Forest? How did it become the Barak Forest?" The boy walked up to Tang San and asked coldly.

Is this person brain-dead?

Or perhaps, after transmigrating, under the education of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, once you learned to read and displayed your talent for cultivation, you focused solely on cultivating your soul power and never read any extracurricular books?

Tang San's expression turned strange, while Xiao Wu, standing to the side, suppressed a laugh.

The Soul Saint couldn't stand it any longer and reminded him, "Young Master, this Soul Hunting Forest exists within Barak territory, and it is indeed called Barak Forest."

The boy's expression was rather grim. He said to Tang San, "You and your sister are both six or seven years old. How could two children like you be hunting spirit beasts? You must have brought your sister here to sneak into this forest, right?"

Tang San produced the Spirit Hall's token and said, "The Spirit Hall has given its permission."

The boy chuckled and said, "Don't try to scare me with the Spirit Hall. I'm not easily frightened."

"Respected young master, your age should be about the same as mine, right?" Tang San said calmly, suddenly stating a fact.

The Soul Saint, nearly thirty Soul Masters, and Rongrong beside him all had strange expressions—these words sounded respectful on the surface, but somehow they sounded like mockery.

However, the Soul Saint did not speak. After all, this young master was rather domineering and self-righteous, and his reputation within the sect was not very good. He was only valued by the sect leader because of his innate full soul power.

But they were actually quite unconvinced by this kid... Now that someone has spoken so succinctly, it wouldn't hurt to deflate his arrogance.

"Giggle!"

Rongrong burst out laughing. "Mutian, this handsome young man is mocking you. Aren't you going to teach him a lesson?"

Based on her temperament and personality, Tang San was 90% certain that the girl named "Rongrong" was Ning Rongrong, and not some other person with the same name.

Tang San had already labeled her in his heart, and his eyes were filled with pity when he looked at Mu Tian: Reality is not a novel. Ning Rongrong, this spoiled little princess, is harder to win over the more you try to win her over, not to mention that this kid doesn't seem to be very bright.

Provoked by Ning Rongrong, Mu Tian got carried away and pointed at Tang San's nose, saying, "Do you dare to have a match with me?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Just as Mu Tian was about to mock him, Tang San continued, "If we accidentally hurt the esteemed young master, my sister and I are from poor families and cannot afford to compensate us."

Ning Rongrong took out a Soul Card and chuckled, "I'll take charge. You don't need to pay compensation. If you defeat him, I'll even give you a thousand, no, ten thousand gold soul coins!"

"Respected Miss, in large families, it is usually the men who make the decisions. Are you capable of making those decisions?" Tang San bowed to Ning Rongrong, also to clearly define her status.

Ninety percent is not enough.

100% is required!

"Hmph!" Ning Rongrong sneered. "I am Ning Rongrong, the daughter of the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I will inherit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future, so of course I have the authority to make decisions!"

Tang San, who was certain of his abilities, could tell that even though Mu Tian had good talent, he was insignificant in Ning Rongrong's eyes—perhaps because he was still young.

In Ning Rongrong's current mindset, her father is just a Soul Saint, but he is not someone who can make her Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather obey him.

So what if you have innate full soul power?

Even if they grow into Title Douluo, they still have to listen to Ning Rongrong!

"So you are the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I have long admired your name. Meeting you in person is truly an honor." Tang San flattered her.

"Giggle!"

Ning Rongrong laughed, "Mu Tian is right, you're hypocritical."

"But, esteemed lady, you smiled, which proves that my hypocrisy pleased you, doesn't it?" Tang San smiled slightly, readily admitting his hypocrisy.

This performance impressed the nearby Soul Saints and Soul Masters.

But is this sincerity or hypocrisy?

"You're really interesting." Ning Rongrong was a little taken aback. After thinking for a while, she said, "You really made me happy. How about this, if you beat Mu Tian, ​​I'll add another 10,000 gold soul coins, making it a total of 20,000."

"Thank you for your generosity, Miss. But before the battle, I have a question. May I ask you to answer it? If it is offensive, you don't need to answer it." Tang San looked puzzled.

"Hmm? What's the problem? Ask away. I won't hide anything I can tell you." Ning Rongrong gestured for Tang San to speak.

"Do you have a grudge against Mu Tian? Why do you want me to defeat him?" Tang San asked with curiosity. "Of course, if it involves secrets between nobles, I hope you can pretend you didn't hear it."

"It's no secret. This kid has been bothering me a lot, it's really annoying," Ning Rongrong said. "If you could teach him a lesson, I would be very happy."

"Oh, so it's a toad trying to eat swan meat."

Tang San abandoned his previous modesty, stared at Mu Tian, ​​and sneered, "Your surname is Mu, so you're probably not a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. You're probably only favored by the sect leader because of your high innate soul power. But instead of serving the sect, you want to woo the sect leader's daughter. That's really going too far."

"Today, I will bring this esteemed little princess to teach you a lesson for your ungrateful nature, so that you will recognize your own worth and understand the true meaning of humility."

Team Leader Soul Saint: "......"

Nearly thirty Soul Masters: "..."

Ning Rongrong: "..."

Xiao Wu: "..."

These people, including Mu Tian, ​​felt as if countless alpacas were stampeding through their hearts:

Isn't this change in attitude a bit too fast?

Furthermore, for some reason, apart from Mu Tian, ​​they didn't find the commoner's words offensive. The leader, a Soul Saint, was the quickest to react, recalling Tang San's expression upon seeing him earlier—

Tang San's gaze remained unchanged, calm and profound. From the very beginning, he was probing the identities of Mu Tian and Ning Rongrong, confirming that Ning Rongrong was in charge. He then began to subtly probe the relationship between Ning Rongrong and Mu Tian. Finally, after figuring out that Mu Tian was merely Ning Rongrong's suitor, he changed his tune and began to criticize Mu Tian on a righteous note.

I have to say, this kid is a real talent!

Although Mu Tian possesses innate full soul power, and the sect leader has the idea of ​​arranging a match between him and Ning Rongrong, he will not force her if she does not like it.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo did not become elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by marrying female members of the school.

"Fine! I'll see what you're capable of!"

Mu Tian laughed, raised his hands, and his soul power surged forth. A black lizard jumped out from his body. It looked somewhat ugly, with red markings on its head and wisps of flame coming out of its mouth, indicating that it was a fire-attribute creature.

There was a bulge next to its head, which looked very conspicuous.

Tang San's eyes narrowed. He ignored the yellow spirit ring and asked Mu Tian, ​​"A beast spirit of the detached type? A fire lizard?"

"That's right, my martial soul, like your teacher Yu Xiaogang's, is a separated-body type, but my Bright Moon is far more powerful than that pig's." Mu Tian became smug, boasting, "I was born to become a god!"

Ning Rongrong was speechless: "Here we go again. This guy, he's just one level higher in innate soul power than me, yet he claims he can become a god. What a pipe dream."

Tang San ignored Ning Rongrong and instead confirmed that Mu Tian was a transmigrator, since only a transmigrator would know about "becoming a disciple of Yu Xiaogang".

Unfortunately, he was no longer the Tang San he used to be.

Moreover, this person is a big mouth.

However, why is it that, as fellow transmigrators, my martial soul only inherits the bloodline of both my parents, while Mu Tian's martial soul is the God of Divine Retribution from "The Throne of Gods," Austin Griffin?

This is one of the twin sons of the creator god in the world setting of the Throne of Seals, representing destruction and ruin.

However, the eyes of this martial soul are extremely intelligent, obviously possessing its own intelligence. So, if the ninth head, Austin Griffin, representing destruction, appears, will it backfire on Mu Tian?

This martial spirit is not easy to get along with. Moreover, after Haoyue came out, she did not show any closeness to Mutian. On the contrary, she kept staring at him.

Could it be that I have a higher compatibility with this martial spirit?

and many more!

If his Clear Sky Hammer has the special ability of "destruction", then Austin Griffin, the ninth head of the Nine-Headed Chimera, should be able to sense his Clear Sky Hammer even if it has not yet grown.

Could it be that it wants to devour the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul?

If that's the case, then he'll have to be crippled. In fact, with his current strength as a Great Soul Master, if one of his Martial Souls is lost, the backlash could kill him directly.

Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly as he decided to kill them all, including Ning Rongrong, afterward!

If one were to find a more hypocritical reason, it would be that if this bright moon were to grow up, it would surely destroy the entire continent, causing widespread suffering and death. Tang San did not believe that this simple-minded Mu Tian could control Austin Griffin.

However, the main reason is that Mu Tian is too hostile towards him and has already shown murderous intent. Perhaps he is thinking of making Hao Yue accidentally kill him in the upcoming contest.

Once and again.

He's not someone to be trifled with.

Since you want to kill him, then don't blame him for being selfish this once, since he's not exactly a saint himself.

This Mu Tian's soul power is level 15.

After killing Mu Tian, ​​it was both morally and logically that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not let him and Xiao Wu go, and they had to be dealt with.

If Tang San had encountered this team before, he would never have been able to deal with so many people, but now, the negative buff of his second soul skill works on soul masters of all levels.

However, with only a 22% reduction, he could at most delay his and Xiao Wu's deaths a little longer.

but!

Who told him to possess nine sections of jade?

The Nine-Section Jadeite was small in size but incredibly fast; if I hadn't possessed the Purple Demon Eye, I wouldn't have been able to see it at all.

Other Soul Masters of this era needed to reach at least the Soul Douluo level before they could begin to explore spiritual power.

In this way, the first person that the Nine-Section Jadeite will bite is the Soul Saint. With just one bite, the Soul Saint will die without a burial place.

The remaining twenty Soul Masters, weakened by 22% by the negative buff, should be able to be held off by the Endless Grassland for a while, allowing Nine-Section Jade to deal with them.

If all else fails, you can use Ning Rongrong as leverage.

And as long as these people died from the poison of the Nine-Section Jade, their bodies would be completely destroyed. No matter how angry the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was, they would not be able to find the bodies of themselves and Xiao Wu, who were only six or seven years old.

"Mu Tian, ​​seven years old, Martial Soul: Bright Moon, Power Attack Type."

While Tang San was still thinking about how to deal with this large group of people more easily, Mu Tian had already spoken, "Level 15, 1st Ring Battle Soul Master."

Tang San took a deep breath, calmed himself, looked at Mu Tian, ​​and slowly said, "Tang San, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Support Type, Level 22 Great Soul Master."

Ning Rongrong was shocked: "Blue Silver Grass? Can this martial soul be cultivated?"

Tang San released his martial soul, and a Blue Silver Grass with silver veins emerged from his right palm, with two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, surrounding his body.

Except for Xiao Wu, everyone else stared wide-eyed.

"The second soul ring in a thousand years!"

Tang San ignored the shock of the crowd, looked at Mu Tian, ​​and slowly said, "You guessed wrong. My teacher is not Yu Xiaogang, but myself."

Mu Tian gritted his teeth, thinking to himself: Could it be that Tang San didn't become Yu Xiaogang's disciple because of his own transmigration? Isn't this butterfly effect a bit too far-fetched?

Could it be that without that useless master interfering with Tang San, this hypocrite could be so strong?

"Respected Soul Saint, may the battle begin?" Tang San looked at the Soul Saint leading the group, confirming the distance between them, and pondered how to make the Nine-Section Jadeite fly onto the opponent's body faster should the worst-case scenario occur.

"I will be the referee for this contest." Soul Saint stepped forward, ordering the other disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to retreat twenty meters away, leaving Tang San and Mu Tian a fighting space that was more than ten meters long and seven or eight meters wide.

In his view, two six-year-old children, even if Tang San was already a Great Soul Master, wouldn't make too much of a commotion; this space was enough.

Tang San glanced at the distance and thought to himself: Twenty meters? It's not beyond the range of my first soul skill after my Blue Silver Grass evolved. Moreover, with Ghost Shadow Tracking, this distance is enough for me to take Xiao Wu and retreat a little further away.

"Haoyue, go!"

Mu Tian gave the order, but strangely, Hao Yue completely ignored it, only yawning as if she had suddenly lost her energy.

Tang San: "...Do you want to have some time to communicate with your martial soul?"

Mu Tian's face darkened, and he roared, "Haoyue, don't throw a tantrum now. When we get back, I'll give you fire-attribute soul beast meat to eat."

Upon hearing this, Haoyue perked up, her body suddenly swelled to three meters long, almost resembling an earth dragon, and roared at Tang San before charging forward.

Tang San immediately slammed the Blue Silver Grass into the ground, then leaped up and jumped onto Haoyue's back.

Haoyue's head suddenly turned 180 degrees and spewed a blazing flame at him.

Tang San immediately dodged, using the Ghost Shadow Steps to avoid a direct confrontation with the enormous creature, dodging the flames, its claws, and its tail, while also testing Haoyue's power.

The more Tang San got to know him, the more alarmed he became—this guy truly lived up to his title of God of Retribution; even with only a fire-attribute head, he could unleash strength comparable to an ordinary Great Soul Master.

But this was a contest between Soul Masters, not a battle between humans and "Pokémon." Tang San had no need to fight Haoyue, whose hide was as thick as a real Soul Beast. Therefore, his gaze swept over Mu Tian...

The first transmigrator appears, with a cheat-like ability and the power of divine retribution: Austin Griffin.
