This unbelievable scene…
Even Dai Mubai himself was dumbfounded, staring blankly at his tiger claws, his eyes clear yet filled with bewilderment.
He… hadn't even used any strength?
Was he really this amazing? A thousand-year soul skill, and it just broke?
Tang San's anticipated smile vanished at the speed of light. His heart clenched, and a terrible premonition exploded in his mind, filling him with dread.
His expression went through a series of rapid changes in a single second, from excitement to bewilderment, then disbelief, and finally, fear. A Sichuan opera face-changing master would have given him a thumbs up.
Flender's eyes widened abruptly, a look of surprise flashing across his face. Having managed to trick and swindle so many students, his understanding of Martial Souls was actually quite high.
In this case, scoring full marks and zero marks were equally impressive.
He immediately realized something was wrong, and exclaimed in disbelief, "Xiao San, the strength of your Martial Soul…"
Soul rings didn't just provide skills; more importantly, they also enhanced physical attributes and mental strength, as well as developing and evolving the Martial Soul.
Under normal circumstances, without going down the wrong path, a single soul ring could be enhanced several times, even reaching over a dozen times its original strength.
It's important to remember that Tang San's first two soul rings were of the highest quality, with lifespans close to their limits.
His third ring, although only of high quality, had a lifespan that exceeded its limit by more than double.
And Dai Mubai's ten sharp claws weren't even the primary ability or development focus of his Martial Soul.
The fact that Tang San could so easily interrupt a skill of that level was incredibly significant.
Either the White Tiger had undergone a miraculous burst of power, with a single claw strike comparable to a ten-thousand-year soul skill,
Or, it was Tang San's Martial Soul...
Tang Hao walked gently to his son's side and picked up the Blue Silver Grass that drooped limply to the ground.
He applied a little force to it.
The rope snapped with a loud crack.
This immediately turned Clear Sky Douluo's face as black as the bottom of a pot. It went from black to green, then green to purple, finally settling on a deep black-red. He was so enraged that his face seemed to swell up a whole size.
He clenched his hands into fists, the knuckles popping loudly.
After a moment, unable to restrain himself any longer, he raised his palm and slapped Tang San away with a resounding blow.
Tang San spun through the air, crashing through several trees before finally slamming into the ground and skidding a long distance.
Blood mixed with teeth sprayed from his mouth, and one side of his face swelled up into a pig's head in less than two seconds.
He lay on the ground, seeing stars, his entire body aching. He couldn't even manage to crawl to his feet for a long time.
Tang Hao still felt it wasn't enough.
Dai Mubai clenched his fists and charged towards Tang San.
Nearby, Zhao Wuji and Flender quickly stepped in to stop him.
"Your Excellency, please don't be hasty. What if there's another turn of events?"
"No matter what, the boost to physical attributes from the super-limit spirit ring is real."
"Xiao San is a good kid; he must have been deceived by someone."
Within the space rift, Nangong Lingyun chuckled, stroking his palm.
On the virtual screen, text unfolded like flowing water.
No. 1 [You created an illusion, helping Tang San strengthen the impression of the binding skill in his subconscious, and explicitly instructed him that he could obtain this ability by absorbing the Mandala Snake. ---
[He personally went to the Sunset Forest to carefully select a "top-grade" high-level soul beast with a lifespan of three thousand four hundred and ninety years for him, the Mandala Snake.]
[The powerful neurotoxin unique to this soul ring caused Tang San's originally mid-grade, near-high-grade, excellent Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, to suffer a devastating blow to its most important life attribute and plant origin.
Among them, the life attribute was completely annihilated.]
[Tang San's Martial Soul quality dropped again, currently only low-grade, the probability of a second awakening into an emperor officially dropped to zero, regressing to ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Achieved the special plot achievement [Thirty-Six Pitiful Loser], level of being screwed over: super, and gained 50,000,000 points.]
[At the same time, Tang San also gained a nearly useless third soul ring and the third soul skill [Blue Silver Binding].
Achieved the special plot achievement [Thirty-Seven Pitiful Loser], level of being screwed over: top-tier, and gained 5,000,000 points.]
No. 2 [You forged the non-existent artifact, the Flying Immortal Decree, and when Tang San was absorbing the soul ring, you took away a large amount of his original source energy used to strengthen his body and spirit. This caused Tang San's physique and spirit to not be normally strengthened, and the actual effect in this area was only equivalent to a one-thousand-five-hundred-year soul ring.
Currently, Tang San's physique is about two-sevenths of what it should be at this time in the original story, and his spirit is three-sevenths.]
[Achieved special plot achievement [Thirty-Eight Pitiful Loser], level of screwing over: Top Tier, and gained 5,000,000 Satisfaction Points] No. 3 [You successfully courted Xiao Wu early, and had her join Kaiyuan Academy. You also beat down Shrek Academy, severely injuring the teachers Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong, forcing them to rest for five days before going on a soul beast hunt. You even helped Tang San personally select the soul beast needed for his third soul ring, and delivered it to the area around the camp. This series of events caused Tang San to perfectly miss out on the top-quality, top-grade soul ring, the Human Face Spider, the top-grade soul skill Web Binding, and the crucial external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances, and the future Poseidon's Eight Wings.] [Achieved special plot achievement [Thirty-Nine Pitiful Loser], level of screwing over: Super, and gained 50,000,000 Satisfaction Points] … Nangong Lingyun read the words letter by letter, the delicious feeling in his heart was simply indescribable.
It was like biting into a chilled watermelon on a scorching summer day, refreshing and exhilarating.
Besides those top three grand prizes:
The Ice and Jade Clearness was successively educated by Papa's iron fist, Tang Hao began to feel extremely disappointed with it, and its reputation and prestige at Shrek Academy decreased significantly compared to the original.
There was also a reward for each of the Three Pitfalls, albeit a small amount.
In addition, after Tang San learned the truth about the spirit rings, he felt strong resentment and anger towards Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang, and there were also rewards for the Pitfall Consumption and Pitfall Big Shit.
In the end, the total harvest was a whopping 130 million.
The million-year head spirit bone, plus the value of the external spirit bone Supreme Rebirth Eyes of the Destiny skill, was only worth 75 million.
This wave was truly like Qin Shi Huang chewing on a mouthful of peppercorns and touching a high-voltage wire, he was completely victorious.
A moment later, Nangong Lingyun composed himself and said to Angel Yan beside him, "Let's go back."
Yan didn't speak, instead maneuvering through the spatial interlayer, putting ten kilometers between them and their previous location. Then, she activated a long-distance void wormhole, directly transporting the two back to Kaiyuan Academy.
Not long after they materialized on the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, a bolt of lightning shot towards them from afar.
Yuan Tiangang knelt on one knee, holding a stack of documents above his head and said, "Master, there's something that requires your decision."
Nangong Lingyun helped him up and used his mind to make the files stand upright in the air, arranged in a row.
After only a glance, his mouth instantly fell open in astonishment.
The documents contained information on the academy's students.
Yu Tianheng, Feng Xiaotian, Shui Binger, and other elites from various academies were all listed, even the trio of Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan had come to join the fun.
Inside, there were even several people whose information didn't appear in the original novel at all. Yet, according to the data on their displayed talent, they were no less impressive.
After a moment of stunned silence, Nangong Lingyun suddenly realized something.
It should be related to Dugu Bo sending his granddaughter over. With this precedent, coupled with the attraction of the super-limit spirit rings, it wasn't surprising these people couldn't sit still.
In addition, it was possible that the influence of the Supreme Rebirth Eyes' fate ability was also at play.
