Chapter 117: Yu Xiaogang in High Spirits, The First Experiment of Destiny Interference!
It was actually Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Tang Hao!
While flying through the air with his External Soul Bone: Wind Thunder Wings, Lin Yu was suddenly shocked when he saw the familiar figures of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Tang Hao through his Heavy Eyes.
Then, Lin Yu quickly activated his External Soul Bone: Mirage Dragon Pearl, using the Dragon Mirage energy to hide himself. He simultaneously activated the Resting Breath ability of the Phantom Beast Left Leg Bone.
After preparing everything, Lin Yu swiftly descended into the forest and flew toward the direction of Tang San, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang.
At the same time, in the outer region of Star Dou Forest...
Yu Xiaogang was walking through the dense, dimly lit Star Dou Forest, his hands behind his back, leading Tang San.
With Tang Hao protecting them, every time a soul beast approached, Tang Hao would release soul power pressure to scare it away.
However, Tang Hao did not unleash the full force of his Title Douluo-level strength.
While helping Tang San find a suitable soul beast for his second soul ring, Yu Xiaogang also took the opportunity to educate Tang San on various soul beasts.
"Tang San, do you know what soul beast is on that tree?"
In the dim forest, with his hands behind his back, Yu Xiaogang calmly gestured toward a large tree, where a soul beast, roughly two meters tall, covered in brownish-yellow fur with grayish-brown eyes, long arms, sharp claws, and fangs, was standing on a branch, showing its teeth and glaring at them.
"This is a Wind Baboon, a very common soul beast in the soul beast forest. This particular Wind Baboon is over two meters tall and should be around a hundred years old!" Tang San observed.
"That's right! This is a hundred-year-old Wind Baboon. After reaching adulthood, Wind Baboons typically become ten-year soul beasts, reaching about one meter tall. After a hundred years, they can grow up to two meters, three meters at a thousand years, and four meters at ten thousand years."
"As for a hundred thousand years... no one has ever found a Wind Baboon with that level of cultivation, and there are barely any seen at the ten-thousand-year mark, since Wind Baboons aren't that powerful as a soul beast."
After observing the Wind Baboon, Yu Xiaogang continued in a deep voice.
As they moved further into the forest, the three of them encountered several other soul beasts along the way.
They saw creatures like Budding Horned Deer, Stone-Skin Wild Boars, Rock Armored Bulls, Ghost Wolves, Solitary Bamboo, and Blood-Sucking Strangling Vines, among others.
Yu Xiaogang tested Tang San's knowledge by asking him about these soul beasts, and Tang San was able to answer almost every question correctly.
This made Yu Xiaogang very pleased.
"Tang San, do you know why I want you to absorb the soul ring of a snake-type soul beast?"
"Because my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is too weak."
Tang San replied.
"That's right! Compared to beast-type Martial Souls, plant-type Martial Souls are indeed too weak, especially your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. It's so fragile that it can break with a simple pull!"
"Although your mother's Blue Silver Grass turned into a soul beast after a hundred thousand years, your Martial Soul seems to still be just regular Blue Silver Grass."
"If you continue to absorb plant-type soul beast rings, you might never become a competent control-type soul master."
"But if you follow my Martial Soul Mimicry Theory, it will be different!"
At this point, Yu Xiaogang showed a proud expression on his face.
"In the soul master world, everyone believes that plant-type Martial Souls can only absorb plant-type soul beast rings. But in fact, plant-type Martial Souls can also absorb beast-type soul beast rings, and the enhancement from beast-type soul beast rings is greater than that from plant-type rings!"
"Based on my research, the reason why plant-type Martial Souls can't absorb beast-type soul beast rings is due to a rejection reaction. However, your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is the weakest of all Martial Souls, so weak that it will not produce any immune rejection reaction to soul beast rings."
"And in the live stream, I will take you as my disciple and cultivate you into a god, so I must have successfully tested this theory through you."
"So, as long as you follow my plan, in the future, you will definitely become a god, just like in the live stream!"
Tang San felt uncomfortable hearing these words from Yu Xiaogang.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang boast about his theories made Tang Hao frown.
He realized that although Yu Xiaogang's theory might be correct, the reasoning behind it was flawed.
For example, the idea that plant-type Martial Souls can absorb beast-type soul rings.
While this idea wasn't widely spread among ordinary soul masters, it was already a well-known fact in sects that plant-type Martial Souls could indeed absorb beast-type rings. The reason ordinary soul masters were taught otherwise was because plant-type Martial Souls were too weak to handle beast-type rings at first.
The solution was to have the first few soul rings be plant-type rings to strengthen the Martial Soul before beginning to absorb beast-type rings.
However, even though Tang Hao realized Yu Xiaogang's theory had some issues, he figured since Tang San had already absorbed a beast-type soul ring for his first ring without any problems, then perhaps Yu Xiaogang's theory wasn't completely wrong.
But the idea that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was too weak to absorb beast-type rings made Tang Hao scoff.
If the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was weak enough to absorb beast-type soul rings, other similar plant-type Martial Souls should be able to do the same.
And if this were true, the news would have spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent long ago!
As for Tang San, if he could absorb a beast-type soul ring for his first ring, Tang Hao suspected the real reason was that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was fundamentally different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls!
...
While Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Tang Hao were walking through the Star Dou Forest, Lin Yu was finally getting closer to them.
"This Yu Xiaogang, is he trying to help Tang San hunt his second soul ring?"
Hidden in the shadows, Lin Yu couldn't help but think to himself.
Although it had only been a little over half a year since Tang San's Martial Soul Awakening, Lin Yu remembered that Tang San had recently obtained a medicinal herb, the Baicao Dan, that could improve his cultivation.
"Helping Tang San hunt his second soul ring?"
Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who was proudly explaining soul beast knowledge to Tang San, Lin Yu couldn't help but smirk.
Let me add some fuel to the fire!
With that thought in mind, Lin Yu activated his External Soul Bone: Three-Eyed Golden Lion Vertical Eye's second soul skill, Fate Interference, directly lowering Yu Xiaogang's luck to the lowest possible level.
