Chapter 173 - Million-Year Thunder Vine? Item Race!

"Pu-chi—"

The Eight Spider Spears pierced out from the body, followed by the Blue Silver Life Domain unfolding.

Devouring Golden Threads appeared, wrapping around the Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine.

They directly drained one-tenth of the compressed lightning stuffed inside its body.

With less power to control, the risk of losing control naturally decreased.

And the devoured soul power was injected into the Thunder-Flame Clear Sky Hammer.

Increasing its size and especially activating its flame attribute.

"Ssssss—"

The ice on the ground melted, and thick steam rose.

"Dad, Little Ao, help evaporate more ice."

Tang Hao and Oscar followed the instructions, using their Nine-Yang Divine Skill internal energy to slowly evaporate ice.

Large amounts of steam rose, forming a cloud layer in the sky.

[Tang Lan: Shoot some lightning into the clouds.]

The Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine didn't understand but still obeyed.

Bolts of lightning shot into the cloud layer, accelerating the movement of positive and negative charges inside.

Generating even more electrical energy.

A thundercloud was born just like that.

[Tang Lan: Okay, now call lightning down on yourself.]

[Tang Lan: Don't worry, with the lightning I absorbed in your body, it won't exceed what you can handle.]

The leftover destructive lightning in its body had been devoured down to a safe range.

What was there to worry about?

"Rumble—"

A thick bolt of lightning struck the Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine.

It spread out its vine body in enjoyment, happily shaking.

Its aura rose slightly.

But the lightning inside didn't increase — instead, it decreased, as the Devouring Golden Threads frantically siphoned power away.

This made the Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine ecstatic!

It released its restraints and summoned more lightning. Bolts rained down continuously.

Its aura skyrocketed, year by year.

In less than thirty seconds—

The thundercloud above was squeezed dry.

It gained 50 years!

[Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine: Quick! More!]

Tang Lan withdrew the Devouring Golden Threads and stood before the vine again.

[Tang Lan: How is it? Do you accept my proposal?]

No injury while increasing cultivation, and even a future of eternal life.

Hesitating even half a second was disrespectful to Tang Lan!

[Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine: No problem! As long as I reach one hundred thousand years, I'll become your soul spirit!]

[Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine: Hurry up! Fast!]

Tang Lan smiled and shook his head.

One hundred thousand years?

For the Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine, whose growth was boosted by lightning — if it crossed one hundred thousand years, heavenly punishment would be useless.

Wouldn't it just charge all the way to one million years to match its potential?

Besides, Tang Lan wasn't worried about betrayal.

Because —

Soul beasts cannot become gods.

Once a soul beast surpasses a million years, divine beings would target it — issuing missions for successors to hunt it down.

If the Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine wanted eternal life, it had to choose Tang Lan.

The pros and cons — not yet time to explain.

[Tang Lan: I still have things to do. I'll increase your age later.]

[Tang Lan: Just us three making thunderclouds — too slow.]

[Tang Lan: I'll store you in a storage ring for now. Go rest.]

[Tang Lan: Then I'll take you to a blessed land and bring more fire-attribute soul masters. I'll feed you well.]

The vine's raised head drooped instantly.

But it didn't insist.

[Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine: Then come back fast~]

It didn't even need Tang Lan to do anything.

The Thunder-Roaring Hell Vine pulled its roots out of the rock wall by itself.

Unexpectedly…

Its vine body was only 2 meters long, but its roots were over 100 meters, densely packed.

Fortunately, Tang Lan had many storage rings.

He took an empty one for it, stamped it with a Seagod-Soul Seal, and stored it inside.

Another soul spirit acquired.

Huo Yuhao had seven soul spirits—

Tang Lan wasn't greedy. He would get nine.

—After all, he couldn't make the previous god his tenth soul spirit, right?

He returned to Tang Hao and the others.

Tang Lan took out skis and ice skates.

"Let's go. From here on, we move ourselves."

"Snow paths, ski. Ice paths, skate."

Shui Bing'er was relaxed — she was familiar with both.

Tang Hao didn't care — he could fly.

Only Oscar looked miserable…

As a southern guy who couldn't even swim, skiing and skating?

But he couldn't say it.

Otherwise, what if Tang Lan left him behind?

For the chance at a possible hundred-thousand-year soul spirit blood sacrifice, he would crawl if needed!

"I've got a flying mushroom sausage!"

Oscar swallowed a flying mushroom sausage.

With wings on his back, he hovered behind the group.

If he fell, he flew again.

At rank-40 Soul Elder, also skilled in Light-Treading Steps—

Half an hour later, he caught up.

"Whoooo!" Oscar cheered. "Easy! Yoho—"

Tang Lan and Tang Hao suddenly turned to the right.

There lay a chain of snowy peaks.

Oscar's shout echoed, causing a massive fissure to spread, and roaring snow cascaded down.

Avalanche!

Oscar:

Σ(っQДQ;)っ

His face turned green!

He quickly took out another flying mushroom sausage to eat—

Unexpectedly—

"Let's race!" Shui Bing'er suddenly suggested. "No soul skills — see if we can outrun the avalanche!"

"Sounds fun." Tang Lan's interest rose. "I'll bet a soul bone."

"Oh?" Tang Hao didn't ruin the mood. "Then I'll offer half a day of battle instruction."

Shui Bing'er suddenly felt embarrassed.

But she couldn't freeload.

"Then… one month of massage?"

"It's about participation. It's fine." Tang Lan said casually.

Oscar froze mid-bite.

A soul bone!Title Douluo personal training!

Beauty massage—That one didn't matter.

Anyone could see Shui Bing'er liked Tang Lan.

He silently put the sausage away and forced a smile:

"Win or lose, I'll cook for everyone for the next while!"

His declaration.

Tang Lan didn't care — just an extra bonus.

"I'll count to three. Then we run."

"Three!"

Tang Lan exploded with Nine-Yang internal power and shot forward like a rocket.

The heat vaporized ice along his path.

Tang Hao's group froze.

So they could cheat?!

"Wow!" Shui Bing'er exclaimed. "Sect Master… did he just start early?"

Two figures shot off without responding.

"Rumble—"

The avalanche arrived!

Shui Bing'er didn't question more, summoning her Ice Phoenix and refreezing the melted path.

With years of ice experience, she soon surpassed Oscar.

Staying left and right of Tang Hao, trying to catch Tang Lan.

Seeing this, Tang Lan no longer rocketed.

Ahead, ice turned to snow plains.

He leaped, swapped ice skates for skis mid-air.

Landing smoothly, he scooped up snow—

And threw a snowball at Shui Bing'er!

"Whoosh—"

"Bang!"

Direct hit to the forehead, making her stagger.

Barely recovering balance, she stared at Tang Lan in disbelief.

This was the sect master she admired?!

Cheating the start — and now throwing items in a race?

But it was…

A pleasant surprise!

This childish behavior—

Shattered his lofty sect-master aura, clearing the distance between them.

Shui Bing'er grabbed snow and threw back!

But Tang Lan dodged easily.

Then two snowballs — one aimed at her head, one blocking movement path.

Another headshot.

Tang Lan grinned widely, handsome face shining brighter than the snow.

Shui Bing'er stared blankly—

Suddenly—
