The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 189 Tang San Angrily Confronts the Grandmaster, Li Xun's Preparations

"A useless martial soul?" Tang San's eyes flashed with mockery upon hearing this. "It has indeed become a useless martial soul, but it shouldn't have been like this in the first place. And do you dare to say that Li Xun's wooden carving martial soul is stronger than my Blue Silver Grass?"

"Li Xun's martial soul is a mutated martial soul, and a positively mutated one at that. How can your Blue Silver Grass compare to his?"

Seeing Tang San's increasingly impolite tone, Yu Xiaogang's anger flared up: "I've investigated 647 people whose martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and only 16 of them possess soul power, and even then, it's only level one soul power. What else is this but a useless martial soul?"

Yu Xiaogang glared angrily at Tang San, then pointed at himself: "I'll still use my theory to make your Blue Silver Grass martial soul reach a level it shouldn't have!"

"Haha, your theory?" Tang San laughed angrily, carefully examining Yu Xiaogang from left to right. "I've actually had a question in my mind for the past few years. Can your theory be made up on the spot?"

"Except for my second spirit ring, it seems that my Blue Silver Grass spirit has always been attached to whatever spirit ring I hunt, right?"

"What does this have to do with your theory?" Tang San squinted and grinned. "Oh! It does have something to do with it, but it's just hindsight and a consolation."

"If it weren't for me, you might have died at the hands of the Mandragora Serpent when we were getting our first spirit ring. And when you saw me hunt down a hundred-year-old spirit beast, you immediately told me to add poison attribute attack and resilience to the Blue Silver Grass."

"I'm just curious, what kind of resilience does a snake have?"

"Oh right, it's been so long I almost forgot, you also found me a ten-year-old Lone Bamboo to serve as my first Soul Ring."

Tang San smiled as he said this: "Actually, I think the Lonely Bamboo is quite good now. If I had chosen a hundred-year-old Lonely Bamboo back then, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Furthermore, you said you studied over six hundred Soul Masters with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Did you just conclude that Blue Silver Grass is a useless Martial Soul?"

Upon hearing Tang San's rapid-fire words, Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red with anger, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his legs buckled, causing him to stumble.

He suddenly remembered what his father, Yu Yuanzhen, had told him: that Tang San was actually cold-hearted, extremely controlling, and not a kind person. And that was indeed true.

Yu Xiaogang slowly closed his eyes, tried to adjust his breathing, and kept telling himself that Tang San was still useful to him. He was Tang Hao's son, and he still needed to use him to prove his research.

"Xiao San, I know you're just anxious right now, but you need to know that some things can ruin your life if you're not careful. Adding a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer now will only reduce your future potential."

"You're not in a stable emotional state right now. Let's talk properly once you've calmed down."

Tang San was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Yu Xiaogang to be able to calmly reassure him even at this point. However, after this interruption, coupled with his earlier outburst of anger, his anger had subsided somewhat.

The two remained silent.

"Mistress, why don't you go and get some rest?"

Looking at his familiar yet unfamiliar disciple, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of bitterness in his heart, and could only suppress his emotions with a sigh. When he saw Tang San silently turn and walk away, he could no longer contain his emotions and slammed his fist into the door.

Tang San paused upon hearing the noise behind him, then quickly left the area and headed towards his room.

Back in his place, he packed his necessities into the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, counted the gold soul coins he had secretly hidden, and then walked out of the academy.

"Fortunately, we didn't give all the gold coins to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School back then."

Tang San glanced back at Shrek Academy, formerly known as Blue Lightning Advanced Academy. He realized that no matter what the name was, nothing could proceed without Yu Xiaogang's approval.

But it doesn't matter. I can just hire someone to help me get a spirit ring. Besides, so many things have happened over the years, and my father has always been nearby protecting me.

Taking advantage of the early darkness, Tang San found a carriage shop that was still open and hired a horse-drawn carriage to head towards Sunset Forest that very night.

Meanwhile, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's headquarters in Tiandou City.

"Xiao Xun, is your purpose in coming here to attach a spirit ring to your second martial soul?"

Ning Fengzhi hesitated slightly: "Isn't this a bit too early? Although your physical condition is good enough to add a spirit ring, I think it's better to delay it a little longer. That way, the age of the spirit ring can be increased even further."

Li Xun chuckled: "Teacher, I won't waste my potential. I'm just going to the Star Dou Great Forest to scout it out first."

"?"

Hearing Li Xun say this, Ning Fengzhi became curious: "Which soul beast have you taken a fancy to?"

"It's hard to say right now, and I'm not sure if I can find it." Li Xun thought of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm being kept by a group of ferocious beasts to absorb its energy, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing Li Xun's smile, Ning Fengzhi felt much relieved: "Then let your Grandpa Dugu accompany you. He doesn't have anything to do right now."

Li Xun thought for a moment and felt it was a bit unwise: "Let Grandpa Jian go with me instead."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"You brat, you look down on me?" Dugu Bo was taken aback, then looked at Li Xun with a dangerous gaze: "Hmph! If you don't give me a perfect explanation today, don't even think about asking me to do anything for you in the future."

Sword Douluo remained silent upon seeing this, but judging from his appearance, it was clear that he was in a good mood.

Bone Douluo sighed, but fortunately he had gotten used to being forgotten over the years.

"Grandpa Dugu, I don't mean to look down on you. It's just that this mission is a bit risky. If anything goes wrong, Grandpa Jian can help me escape quickly." Li Xun quickly stepped forward to flatter him, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

"Runs fast?" Everyone was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Li Xun to choose Sword Douluo for such a reason.

"Yes, my target this time is the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, which may inadvertently arouse the turmoil of a 100,000-year-old soul beast." Li Xun nodded.

Of course, the most important thing is that, in any event, Sword Douluo is more capable than Dugu Bo. If Dugu Bo were really taken along, it's possible that neither of them would return alive.

"Hmph! If I were to truly face a 100,000-year-old soul beast, I wouldn't be without a fighting chance, but in terms of speed alone, Sword Master is indeed slightly better than me." Dugu Bo closed his eyes, enjoying Li Xun's massage.

"Sigh! Then I'll reluctantly go with Xiao Xun!" Sword Douluo sighed with a smile, "There's nothing I can do; I'm just born to be a busybody!"

Upon hearing Sword Douluo's words, Dugu Bo, with his eyes half-open and half-closed, let out a soft hum.

Old Swordsman, don't try to fool me. Once I've concocted that stuff and Li Xun and Yan Yan have consummated their relationship, let's see what you have to offer me then.

However, the opportunity only comes once, and it's still unknown how strong the medicine will be, given Li Xun's immune-to-poison constitution.
