Chapter 201: Blue Silver Ancient Spirit Formation
As he absorbed, his two previous soul rings also manifested, a white one and a purple one, a striking combination that held one's gaze.
Nan ShuiShui twitched the corner of her mouth.
She remembered that she had just seen two golden soul rings; is this the Twin Soul?
Tang Wulin's defiance of destiny in her mind instantly rose another level.
Gong Changlong stood beside Tang Wulin, ready to lend a hand at any moment.
Tang Wulin, this child, is far too important to Shilake Academy; any mishap must be avoided.
But this time he overthought it; Tang Wulin's absorption process was very smooth, even pressureless.
This is not only because his constitution exceeds that of ordinary people, but also because the Natural Son's absolute suppression of plants prevents the ancient spirit tree's lingering thought stored in the soul ring from daring to act.
During absorption, Tang Wulin clearly felt the ancient spirit tree's residual thought flattering him, even actively drawing out the energy contained in the soul ring for him to absorb.
In less than half an hour, Tang Wulin opened his eyes again, leapt up on the spot, and the white, purple, and black three‑colored soul rings swirled beside him, looking extremely bizarre.
Even more eye‑catching was the faint green‑gold aura entwining the black soul ring, emitting a gentle yet powerful presence that could not be ignored.
Gong Changlong asked nervously,
"Wulin, how's the situation?"
Tang Wulin closed his eyes to sense, then beamed with joy and nodded at Gong Changlong.
"Very smoothly."
Even he hadn't expected the soul‑ring absorption to be this easy.
"That's good." Gong Changlong let out a huge sigh of relief and said to Nan ShuiShui and the others, "Alright, our purpose for this trip has been fulfilled; it's time to return to the Academy. I hope the South Gate Master will consider my earlier proposal, not miss this chance, and part ways here."
Then he led Tang Wulin away, leaving the people of Earth Dragon Gate looking forlorn.
Nan Qiuqiu came to Nan ShuiShui's side and asked curiously,
"Mother, what proposal did he mention?"
Earlier, while Gong Changlong was talking with Nan ShuiShui, she was still stunned by Tang Wulin's strength and hadn't heard their conversation at all.
Nan ShuiShui asked softly, "Qiuqiu, would you like to study at Shilake?"
Hearing the question, Nan Qiuqiu instantly understood Gong Changlong's proposal and subconsciously replied,
"I'm willing."
As she spoke, for some reason the image of Tang Wulin repeatedly defeating two ten‑thousand‑year soul beasts flashed in her mind.
"Good." Seeing her daughter had no objection, Nan ShuiShui no longer hesitated, "After this soul‑ring hunting mission ends, you'll return to Dragon City to recuperate, then go study at Shilake."
Tang Wulin's performance was truly captivating; even if Nan Qiuqiu possessed only one percent of Tang Wulin's excellence, Nan ShuiShui was already satisfied. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and Gong Changlong were discussing this haul.
The soul skill he obtained this time is called Blue Silver Ancient Spirit Formation, a powerful pseudo‑domain soul skill.
When released, Blue Silver Ancient Spirit Formation mildly siphons the life force of nearby living beings, then feeds it back to strengthen the Blue Silver Emperor and Tang Wulin.
This effect is very close to the Blue Silver Domain; Tang Wulin and Gong Changlong randomly selected a soul beast for a test and found that Blue Silver Ancient Spirit Formation can stack with the Blue Silver Domain, yielding more than the sum of its parts.
For example, with Tang Wulin's current cultivation, the Blue Silver Ancient Spirit Formation could originally last only three minutes, but when combined with the Blue Silver Domain, not only does the absorption speed increase dramatically, the duration also multiplies several times; Tang Wulin maintained it for a full ten minutes, and his soul‑power consumption was barely over half.
During use, Tang Wulin's already robust physique further improves, mainly in recovery rather than raw strength, while the Blue Silver Emperor transforms into blue‑gold vines, its toughness surging.
It can be said that with this soul skill, Tang Wulin can, relying solely on the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, defeat the vast majority of Soul Ancestors.
After completing the experiment, the two sped up their travel, quickly exiting the Star Dou Great Forest and hurrying toward Shilake Academy.
Just as they were about to reach Shilake Academy, Gong Changlong's expression hardened as he raised his hand and said, "Wulin, stop."
Tang Wulin obediently halted as instructed, just as he was about to ask what happened, his expression changed instantly.
A streak of green light quickly dyed the sky, and a booming voice resonated across the land.
"Xuanzi, get out of my way!"
The voice thundered through heaven and earth, instantly covering the whole Shilake City, and Tang Wulin's expression shifted.
To cause such a planetary phenomenon, who could the voice belong to?
At that moment, a hoarse old voice also rose from Shilake Academy.
"Du Lao Guai, is that you?"
Then a yellow pillar of light shot upward, surrounded by many smaller pillars, clearly the collective action of the Sea God Pavilion's senior elders.
"Good! What a Shilake Academy! Many bully the few?"
Outside Shilake Academy, intense beams of light surged skyward; a quick count showed at least more than twenty of them, each beam that pierced the sky was dense and unspreading, especially the foremost dark‑green pillar, which was extremely thick, its radiance almost covering all the other pillars behind it.
Outside Shilake Academy, intense flames of light surged skyward; counting quickly, there were at least twenty, each a concentrated beam that did not disperse, especially the foremost eerie green pillar, massive enough that its radiance seemed to eclipse all the others behind it.
"That guy whom Xuan Lao calls 'Du Lao Guai' is the current head of the Body Sect, Du Busi, a 98th‑level Super Douluo equal to Xuan Lao; that dark‑green pillar is a condensation of his soul power, and the pillars swirling around him are at least Soul Douluo‑ranked strongmen. Damn, why did Du Busi bring so many top‑tier strongmen here? Is he preparing to go to war with Shilake Academy?!"
"The guy called Du Lao Guai by Xuan Lao is the current head of the Body Sect, Du Busi, a Level‑98 Super Douluo equal to Xuan Lao. That eerie green pillar is his soul‑power condensed, and the surrounding pillars are at least Soul Douluo‑level strongmen. Damn, why did Du Busi bring so many top‑tier fighters? Is he preparing to war with Shilake Academy?!"
The Sea God Pavilion had long anticipated Du Busi's troublemaking at Shilake Academy, but they truly didn't expect him to arrive with so many.
At this level, even if the Body Sect didn't send its entire nest, at least half showed up, enough to flatten 99% of the soul‑master organizations on this world. Is Huo Yutong's allure that strong?
Tang Wulin's gaze turned heavy as he looked to the sky, a flash of worry passing through his eyes.
What was meant to come did come; he never worries whether Mu En can subdue Du Busi, only what price Mu En must pay to do so.
