Chapter 176: Tang San Obtains the Vast Sea Universe Shield

Xue Qinghe let out a heavy sigh.

"Prince Xue Xing may have already discovered that something is wrong with me; he has been having Xue Beng pretend to be a playboy behind my back to lower my guard."

"Yet in secret, he is winning people over in all sorts of ways."

"Now, he actually intends to win over Tang San."

"Furthermore, he has already obtained a treasure and is currently on his way to Tang San's residence."

"Tang San founded the so-called Tang Sect and developed the so-called Zhuge Divine Crossbow."

"It is said that its attack power is extremely strong, possessing great lethality against Spirit Masters below level forty."

"What should be done now?"

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, shook his head repeatedly, feeling very worried in his heart.

"The position of Crown Prince is very likely at risk!"

……

Tang Sect headquarters.

"Tang San, this is the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng."

Prince Xue Xing slowly reached out and pointed to the person beside him.

Xue Beng had his hands behind his back, showing not the slightest appearance of a playboy.

He looked no different from Xue Qinghe.

Tang San recognized him at a glance; this was the person who had beaten him up at the entrance of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy back then.

But clearly, now was not the time to lose his temper.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Fourth Prince."

Tang San bowed in salute.

Xue Beng looked at Tang San indifferently.

"Tang San, are you willing to have your Tang Sect support this Prince in becoming the new Emperor of the Tiandou Empire?"

Tang San coughed lightly twice.

"That depends on what Your Highness can bring to the table?"

"I wonder if it can compare to a soul bone?"

Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing exchanged a glance.

"This treasure was something Xue Beng requested from His Majesty."

"Although this item is not a soul bone, its value far exceeds that of a soul bone."

Prince Xue Xing took out an object covered by a red cloth from behind him.

Tang San lifted the red cloth with some confusion.

Instantly, the entire hall was enveloped in intense, precious light.

It was an extremely strange object, crystalline and transparent blue in its entirety, in the shape of a three-dimensional triangle.

The whole thing seemed to be carved from sapphire and was only the size of a palm.

Within the crystalline blue light, a precious glow swirled, and strange energy fluctuations continuously emanated from it.

On this blue triangular body, ripples like water waves undulated.

These patterns did not look like they had been carved on; they looked more as if they were alive.

Circles of blue light flickered, reflecting a faint, precious glow throughout the hall.

"What is this?"

Tang San looked very confused, completely failing to understand what this object was.

However, she could tell:

There was a deep sense of reluctance on the faces of this Prince and the Prince.

It must be a treasure.

"This is the national treasure, the Vast Sea Universe Shield, which was presented by the First Prince, Xue Luochuan, on the day of Emperor Xueye's birthday."

Prince Xue Xing slowly began to explain.

Originally, he was still considering whether or not to give it to Tang San.

But after witnessing the lethality of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow against ordinary people, he was determined to recruit Tang San.

Even if Tang San could not become one of his own, he absolutely could not become an enemy.

"In a certain sense, it can be considered a Soul Guidance Device. This object has many wonderful uses; you only need to inject your soul power into it, and you will be able to feel it deeply."

Prince Xue Xing continued to explain.

Tang San slowly glanced toward Titan.

Titan nodded and stood guard by Tang San's side.

Holding the Vast Sea Universe Shield in both hands,

Tang San could not help but feel a wave of confusion in his heart, thinking, what exactly is this thing used for?

She did not rush to output soul power into it, but instead carefully looked at this special object with its flowing light and shadow.

And she cautiously released her Spiritual Power to probe into it.

However, the moment Tang San's Spiritual Power injected a sliver into the Vast Sea Universe Shield, suddenly,

She only felt an indescribable, immense force violently bounce her Spiritual Power back.

Her whole body fell backward while holding the Vast Sea Universe Shield. Her mind went blank.

At the very last moment of consciousness, she only felt something smash into her head.

The Spiritual Attribute energy fluctuation that her sliver of Spiritual Power had come into contact with inside the Vast Sea Universe Shield was vast.

That was simply not a confrontation on the same order of magnitude.

Fortunately, the Spiritual Power she had injected during her investigation was very little.

Coupled with the improvement of her own Spiritual Power and the boost to Spiritual Power from the Illusion Skull,

otherwise, just that single counterattack from the Vast Sea Universe Shield would have been enough to injure her soul itself.

What struck Tang San's head was precisely the Vast Sea Universe Shield. The sharp tip gouged a small cut on Tang San's forehead; the moment it struck Tang San, it emitted a layer of special Lan Guang, easily Pierce-ing the skin and Break-ing the defense.

Fresh blood flowed, and the Vast Sea Universe Shield spun around, sticking flat against the wound on Tang San's forehead as if it had a spirit of its own, while Tang San's blood continuously poured into it, and the originally blue light halo fluctuations gradually turned red.

"Sect Master!"

Titan became somewhat anxious upon seeing this situation.

"No matter, I am fine,"

Tang San casually gave an instruction to continue letting the blood pour into it.

Not long after, the absorption of the fresh blood ended.

The blue triangular body of the Vast Sea Universe Shield was taken down by Tang San.

She felt somewhat dizzy.

It was as if everything around her was fading away.

It was also at this moment that a special force was injected into her heart, then slowly flowed into her brain.

It turned into a cool sensation and merged with her brain; although the feeling of weakness remained,

her brain became exceptionally clear, and she could not feel the outside world,

but she could clearly feel the way the blood flowed within the meridians of her body,

and could even feel every subtle change in her internal organs.

"Sect Master..."

Titan was still somewhat worried, but seeing that Tang San was in no trouble, he did nothing.

Xue Beng and Xue Qinghe exchanged a glance, not knowing what to say; even if they wanted to leave now, Titan would never let them go.

Two or three hours later,

Tang San finally stretched and regained consciousness.

During the coma, she finally understood the wonderful use of this thing.

Just a moment ago, a massive amount of information surged into her brain through a spiritual transmission, which was what caused her to fall into a coma.

Just now,

Tang San's soul and consciousness were immersed in a marvelous world.

It was an endless expanse of blue sea and sky.

Beneath her feet was the surging, turbulent sea, and above her head was a cloudless blue sky.

That feeling of being completely Pierce-ed in body and mind made an endless yearning arise in her heart.

She understood the use of this thing.

This thing alone could provide four soul skills.

Indeed, although it was not a soul bone, it was even more powerful than a soul bone; what kind of thing could provide four soul skills?

A treasure, it is a good treasure!

"Sect Master Tang, I wonder how this thing is?"

"Can it surpass that soul bone given to you by the Crown Prince?"

Prince Xue Xing looked at Tang San's appearance and was already confident.

Tang San looked at the object in her hand and sighed.

"Barely acceptable, just so-so."
