Chapter 42 Tang 3's First Soul Ring
Chapter 42 Tang San's Second Soul Ring
The previous chapter was reviewed, and I don't understand what went wrong.
Forget it, what can Tang Hao do even if he comes back? He still can't stop Lin Ye from ruthlessly swindling those scoundrels.
The thought of getting another three tricks out of him made Lin Ye feel great. He bent down to continue his work, humming a little tune happily.
"I laughed triumphantly, laughed triumphantly..."
In front of Lin Ye was a wooden basin filled with warm water.
At that moment, Lin Qiu'er was soaking in a wooden tub.
She rested her chin on the edge of the wooden basin, a ball of soap foam on her head, her eyes narrowed into slits, looking quite content.
"Come on, stand up."
Lin Ye helped Lin Qiu'er stand up, then took a bar of soap and began to wash her stomach...
Lin Qiu'er stood obediently, letting the human child in front of her wash her, showing no trace of the majesty of an imperial beast.
The following day, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang met at the gate of Notting Academy.
Accompanying Yu Xiaogang was a middle-aged man of similar age.
The middle-aged man was wearing a long robe and was a few times more handsome than Yu Xiaogang. He had a slightly protruding chin and a gentle smile on his face.
Tang San recognized the middle-aged man; he was the dean of Notting Academy.
The dean is a four-ring Soul Master and the strongest person in Notting Academy.
"Hello, Dean." Tang San greeted him politely.
The dean nodded with a smile, "You must be Tang San. You're already a Great Soul Master at such a young age. You have a bright future ahead of you."
Tang San quickly replied modestly, "Dean, you flatter me."
The dean laughed heartily, "Not arrogant or impatient, you're a good prospect. I'll go with you this time. Just tell the dean what kind of spirit ring you want."
Tang San was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He was also worried about where his spirit ring would come from, because his teacher was too useless and could only offer very limited help.
His original plan was to hire other Soul Masters to help him hunt for Soul Rings.
But now things are much better; with the dean taking action, nothing could be better.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang spoke up, "Alright, let's not waste any more time, let's go buy some things first."
After saying that, he led the way and left.
Tang San's eyelids twitched. Yu Xiaogang's actions reminded him of his previous experience and that mutated martial soul that could only fart.
As expected, the items Yu Xiaogang purchased were exactly what Tang San had predicted.
White radish, a type of white radish that can be used to induce flatulence.
……
In the afternoon, a carriage slowly left Nottingham.
Inside the carriage, Lin Ye helplessly rubbed Lin Qiu'er's head.
"Why didn't you stay home? Why did you have to come along?"
Lin Qiu'er snorted coldly, "That won't do. I want to see this little bastard suffer with my own eyes."
"Alright, whatever makes you happy." Lin Ye smiled and reached out to stroke it again.
Perhaps not wanting to be teased anymore, Lin Qiu'er broke free from Lin Ye's clutches and snuggled into Xue Di's arms.
Because of excessive force, the Snow Emperor's magnificent assets were deformed.
Xue Di didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of doting affection.
Seeing this, Lin Ye was filled with envy. "I also want to try Sister Xue Nu's facial cleanser!"
I couldn't help but sigh, "Auspicious beasts are so lucky! They're the darlings of the group wherever they go. Why don't we get that kind of treatment?"
The words are divided into two parts.
Because of the lesson learned last time, Yu Xiaogang dared not let Tang San absorb animal spirit rings again.
Although he had doubts, he felt that perhaps his theory was not wrong, but other factors caused Tang San's lifespan to decrease after absorbing the spirit ring.
But he had no evidence and dared not experiment on Tang San again.
If another accident happens this time, Tang Hao really won't let him off the hook.
The group arrived at the Soul Hunter Forest again, and just like last time, the guards let them pass after checking their tokens.
The search for the spirit ring was not as smooth as expected.
For several days in a row, they had no success. The soul beasts they encountered were either unsuitable or of too high or too low age.
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's requirements were not low; he wanted to find a better spirit ring in order to make up for the impact of the spirit rings he had acquired in the previous 10 years.
This makes it even harder to find suitable spirit rings.
The group endured harsh weather and slept outdoors, having to guard against attacks from spirit beasts at night, making it difficult for them to get a good night's sleep.
This continued for several days, causing the three of them to become increasingly mentally unstable.
It wasn't until the sixth day that they finally encountered a soul beast that satisfied Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
"Little San, come here quickly, your soul ring has been found!" Yu Xiaogang's joyful voice rang out in the forest.
Hearing his cries, Tang San rushed forward to check on him.
A vine, about the thickness of a thumb, resembled a natural green rope, tightly wrapped around a tree trunk.
It looks very ordinary, and it's easy to overlook its existence if you don't look closely.
Yu Xiaogang smiled confidently, "It's time for this master to make his appearance again."
"Little San, this is the Ghost Vine I told you about. It's an extremely rare plant-type soul beast with a very strong neurotoxin. Once you're pierced by its thorns, the toxin will immediately spread until it turns into pus and becomes fertilizer for the Ghost Vine."
Moreover, what Soul Masters fear most is the parasitic ability of the Ghost Vine. When it attacks, it releases countless tiny seeds that directly parasitize the enemy. As long as the Ghost Vine provides enough energy, or these seeds absorb enough nutrients, they will grow on the host. Once the neurotoxin spreads, the effect will be the same.
Based on my years of research, the maximum absorption period for a Soul Master's second Soul Ring is generally 764 years. This Ghost Vine has an absorption period of 600 years, making it perfect for your second Soul Ring.
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he used his hands and feet to vividly explain the scientific knowledge to Tang San.
You could tell he was quite excited.
Tang San was equally excited, "Teacher, I'll do whatever you say."
Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction and looked toward Notting College next to him.
The dean nodded with a smile, "You all step back and watch me."
Then, four spirit rings made a dazzling appearance.
Boom boom boom...
After a barrage of attacks, Gui Teng was on the verge of death.
Dean Notting then stopped, reserving the final blow for Tang San.
Neither Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, nor Dean Notting noticed that there was an extra person present.
This person is Lin Ye.
The three spirit rings beneath Lin Ye's feet pulsated gently, and the second spirit ring emitted a dazzling purple light, clearly already in operation.
It was precisely because the Nightmare Soul Technique was used to create an illusion that Yu Xiaogang and the other two failed to notice Lin Ye's arrival.
Lin Ye was not even in the sight of the three of them.
Lin Ye also had a ghost vine in his hand, but this ghost vine was only a pitiful 10 years old.
Seeing that Tang San was about to make a move, Lin Ye stepped forward, pulled the 600-year-old ghost vine off the tree, and then put the 10-year-old one back on.
After doing all that, step aside and watch the show.
And so, right under Tang San's nose, Lin Ye openly and brazenly switched Tang San's spirit rings.
Yu Xiaogang and the other two were completely unaware of everything he did.
In the eyes of the three, the ghost vine was still the same ghost vine, but little did they know that it had been switched.
"Little San, hurry up and do it," Yu Xiaogang urged.
Tang San immediately stepped forward, his hand brushing against his belt, and a small knife appeared in his hand.
Swish!
With a swift stroke, the knife severed the ghost vine in two, which writhed weakly like a snake.
Tang San raised his hand again and swung out several swords in quick succession.
The ghost vine broke into several sections and completely lost its vitality.
After a while, yellow light spots appeared, and these light spots gathered together to form a yellow soul ring.
