Chapter 192 What Soul Beast is the Most Suitable?
A few hours later.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire Tianxing Academy in a warm golden hue.
Just then, the conference room door was gently pushed open.
As Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier entered the conference room, Dugu Bo, who had been waiting inside, approached them. A barely perceptible worry crossed his aged face as he said:
"Where have you two been? Why are you so late?"
At this moment, Dugu Bo noticed that the two of them were slightly out of breath. Although they appeared calm on the surface, their eyes were sharper than usual.
Tang Chuan didn't answer immediately. Instead, he walked to the table, casually found a chair, sat down, picked up a water glass, took a sip, and then slowly said:
"On the way back, I encountered a small problem that caused a delay."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed, and his tone immediately turned serious as he asked with a hint of doubt:
"Trouble? What's going on? Could it be the Spirit Hall?"
Tang Chuan didn't explain directly, but instead smiled slightly and slowly opened his palm.
Suddenly, a flash of colorful light appeared, and a seven-colored skull radiating a mesmerizing aura quietly appeared in his palm.
"This is... a soul bone?! Where did you get it from?" Upon seeing the radiant bone in Tang Chuan's palm, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock.
His words had barely faded when all the members of the Skywalker Academy team crowded around the conference room, their eyes fixed intently on the soul bone. Their hearts pounded, and their faces were filled with shock and disbelief. A soul bone—for any soul master, it was a priceless treasure, something they could only dream of!
"On our way back, we encountered Shi Nian, the teacher leading the team from Canghui Academy," Xiao Ruier said succinctly, letting out a long breath.
"He attacked us in secret, trying to kill us. In the end, we killed him instead. This soul bone fell from his body."
"What?! People from Canghui Academy dare to try and kill you?!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's face instantly turned ashen, and a chilling killing intent uncontrollably emanated from him. Then, a look of self-reproach appeared on his face as he said regretfully:
"Sigh! It's all my fault for going to watch the match this afternoon and not leaving the Great Soul Arena with you guys. I never expected such a mistake to happen!"
Slowly standing up, Tang Chuan patted Dugu Bo's shoulder, his tone filled with comfort and confidence, "Old Poison Master, you don't need to blame yourself. Even if you weren't with us, there are others protecting us in secret."
His words were ambiguous, yet they were pointed.
"Moreover, with Rui'er's current strength, if we were to unleash our full power in the Spirit Fusion Technique, even an ordinary Soul Douluo-level Soul Master might not be a match for us."
Upon hearing Tang Chuan's words, especially the mention of the incredibly powerful Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Dugu Bo's self-reproach eased slightly, and his tense expression relaxed.
Then, he exhaled and changed the subject:
"Never mind, it's good that you're all alright."
As he spoke, he turned to the side and pointed to two sturdy, honest-looking young men not far away, "I'm planning to take the Shi brothers to Sunset Forest tomorrow to obtain their fourth spirit ring. Do you want to come with us?"
Following Dugu Bo's gaze, Tang Chuan discovered that the two were Shi Mo and Shi Mo, the defensive-type Soul Masters from the former Royal Fighting Team. Their Martial Soul was the top-tier defensive-type Beast Martial Soul, the Xuanwu Turtle.
After the Royal Fighting Team disbanded, they joined Tianxing Academy along with Ye Lingling.
Recently, with the help of the pills refined by Tang Chuan, their soul power reached level 40.
"Okay." Without hesitation, Tang Chuan nodded readily.
He then turned around and, under everyone's gaze, walked towards Ye Lingling, who was standing quietly in the corner. He then presented her with the radiant head bone in his palm and said in a calm tone:
"Lingling, this soul bone belongs to the gem category and is most suitable for support-type or illusion-type soul masters."
"After you absorb it, you will gain a soul skill called Illusionary Space."
"This skill not only increases the mental strength of allies by 20%, but also establishes a mental network that allows teammates to communicate telepathically. More importantly, it can create a special space during battle, making it impossible for outsiders to pinpoint our location."
"It's too expensive, I..." Upon seeing this, Ye Lingling quickly waved her hand to refuse.
However, before she could finish speaking, Tang Chuan had already gently placed the soul bone in her hand.
"This soul bone isn't very useful for anyone else to absorb, so it's most suitable for you to absorb it."
Tang Chuan's gaze swept over the surrounding team members, and he said seriously, "Someday in the future, perhaps your skill can save everyone."
Dugu Yan chuckled and nudged Ye Lingling's shoulder: "Lingling, just accept it. If we encounter illusions in the future, we'll have to rely on you to protect us!"
Amidst the well-meaning cheers of the crowd, Ye Lingling finally gripped the soul bone tightly and bowed deeply to Tang Chuan: "Thank you, I will not let everyone down."
…………
The next morning, just as the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon.
Led by Dugu Bo, Tang Chuan and the Shi brothers entered the Sunset Forest together.
Instantly, the moist scent of earth mixed with the fresh fragrance of grass and trees wafted over.
As the group walked deeper into the forest, Dugu Bo suddenly stopped and looked at Tang Chuan, saying, "Kid, what kind of spirit beast do you think would be most suitable for these two little guys to get their fourth spirit ring?"
After a moment's hesitation, Tang Chuan's gaze swept over the sturdy figures of the Stone Mill and Stone Ink Brothers, and he said:
"The Xuanwu Turtle is a top-tier defensive martial soul, and its fourth soul skill should further enhance its barrier properties. I suggest seeking out the Thorn Rock Turtle. After a thousand years, this beast's shell will develop counter-damage spikes. If we can obtain its soul ring, it might be possible to imbue their defense with a counter-damage effect."
…………
Amidst the morning mist, on another forest path in the sunset forest.
Led by Flander, Tang San, Grandmaster, and Liu Erlong also entered Sunset Forest.
Flander had already completed the spirit possession and was spreading his cat-owl wings to explore the way ahead. Liu Erlong pushed Grandmaster's wheelchair closely behind, while Tang San vigilantly observed the surroundings.
The fallen leaves rustled softly beneath their feet.
"Teacher, which fire-attribute soul beast do you think I should hunt with my Clear Sky Hammer?" Just then, Tang San suddenly looked at Grandmaster and asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the master stroked his chin, a wise glint flashing in his eyes, and said:
"The Clear Sky Hammer is extremely powerful and fierce, making it difficult for ordinary fire spirit beasts to match. We need to find a spirit beast with intense and explosive characteristics within its fire. I think the Explosive Fire Ape is the most suitable! This spirit beast is ferocious and savage, with a tearing explosive force within its fire attribute. If you can obtain its spirit ring, your Clear Sky Hammer might be able to acquire an explosive effect, with sparks flying and extremely strong penetrating power upon impact."
Tang San nodded solemnly and continued to ask:
"Teacher, now that the target spirit beast has been chosen, how should we select the age limit? Should I choose a thousand-year spirit ring for my Clear Sky Hammer's first spirit ring, or... a ten-thousand-year one?"
"Ten thousand years! It must be a ten-thousand-year soul ring!" A scorching light suddenly burst from his eyes. The master gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, leaned forward slightly, and raised his voice with excitement, saying, "Little San, do you know what the greatest advantage of twin martial souls is?"
"That's the spirit ring attachment for this second martial soul!"
"Ordinary Soul Masters, upon reaching a bottleneck, must acquire Soul Rings to continue increasing their Soul Power. But you are different! Every time you add a Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, your Soul Power will surge!"
"Imagine if your Clear Sky Hammer's first and second spirit rings directly absorbed two ten-thousand-year spirit rings. The immense energy contained within would be enough to instantly boost your spirit power level to level fifty! At that time, your Blue Silver Grass would be able to acquire a fifth spirit ring!"
"This is the most overpowered aspect of twin martial souls: by adding a high-level soul ring to the second martial soul, one can forcibly increase their own soul power level!"
