Chapter 3: The First Soul Ring
"He actually killed it."
Tang Hao, observing everything from the shadows, clearly hadn't expected his adopted son to be able to easily kill a century-old Soul Beast.
Such decisiveness and ruthlessness.
And the fearless spirit made him a little worried.
He wanted to use this adopted son to revive Ah Yin.
If this adopted son grew up in the future and discovered his purpose for using him, would he turn against him, or even become his enemy?
Thinking of this possibility, Tang Hao frowned.
But the next second.
He already had a plan in mind.
"Without strength, decisiveness and ruthlessness are useless."
In order to make Tang Yin, his adopted son, wholeheartedly help him revive his wife,
he decided to only have Tang Yin hunt and absorb Soul Rings from Support-Type Soul Beasts.
He would make him a Support-Type Soul Master, so he could focus on helping him revive his wife.
Tang Hao's thoughts were naturally unknown to Tang Yin.
At this moment.
Having relied on the poisonous vines and their entanglement to kill the Wolf King, he looked at the Soul Ring rising from the corpse.
He was considering what type of first Soul Skill to absorb.
But just then.
Tang Hao walked silently to his side.
He looked at Tang Yin, his eyes showing admiration.
"Very good, Xiao Yin, you did very well."
Seeing Tang Hao suddenly appear, Tang Yin was surprised by his strength, but quickly became obedient, cupping his hands and saying:
"It's all thanks to Father's training of me these past few days, otherwise, I wouldn't have had the strength to defeat those wolves."
"And I know that Father must be secretly protecting me, which is why I have the courage to fight the Wolf King."
Tang Hao glanced at the Wolf King's corpse and then at his adopted son, speaking in a neutral tone, "Since you've completed the task I gave you, then come with me. We'll go hunt for your first Soul Ring."
"Yes, Father."
"But Father, what Soul Beast should I hunt for my first Soul Ring?"
Tang Yin was a little excited about becoming a Soul Master.
At the same time, he was also curious about what Soul Beast Tang Hao would help him hunt.
"Gathering Light Beast."
"Gath…Gathering Light Beast?"
Tang Hao blurted out the three words and then walked ahead, heading deeper into the forest.
He had already ascertained the Gathering Light Beast's location.
And Tang Yin, hearing the words "Gathering Light Beast," instantly froze in place, looking at the gradually departing Tang Hao with disbelief.
On the Douluo Continent, even three-year-olds knew that the Gathering Light Beast was a creature so weak that you could crush it with your hand.
Because the Gathering Light Beast had another name.
Firefly.
This Soul Beast's ability was to absorb sunlight during the day, gathering it, and then releasing light at night.
It looked beautiful, but it was a pretty useless ability.
You could say its weakness surpassed even the Blue Silver Grass.
His idea was to absorb a Soul Beast Soul Ring that could enhance his combat strength.
But Tang Hao wanted him to absorb a Gathering Light Beast for his first Soul Ring.
What was the purpose?
Wait a minute.
Gathering Light Beasts could gather sunlight and absorb sunlight.
His Martial Soul was Green Light.
Tang Hao knew that his Martial Soul could also promote plant growth.
Absorbing the Gathering Light Beast... Tang Hao wanted him to follow the path of a Support-Type Soul Master, to better help Ah Yin revive, and become a machine.
Tang Yin's eyes turned cold as he understood.
Anger welled up within him.
But he still held back.
In the future, he would let Tang Hao know that he, Tang Yin, was not to be trifled with.
Moreover, his Martial Soul was Green Light, capable of promoting plant growth. If he absorbed the Gathering Light Beast's ability to gather sunlight, perhaps there would be other unexpected effects.
Moreover, he also has the Green Light System. Once he embarks on his Green Light journey, becoming stronger with the help of the Green Light System will be incredibly easy.
Thinking of this.
He silently followed Tang Hao.
Just then, the green light system's voice rang in my ears.
"bite!"
"Because Tang Hao forcibly helped the host choose the Gathering Light Beast as the first spirit ring of the martial soul, the host's resentment towards Tang Hao accumulated, triggering a special effect. When the host green-lights Tang Hao and monopolizes his adoptive mother A Yin, the reward is doubled."
Upon hearing the system's voice, Tang Yin was taken aback. He hadn't expected there to be such a thing as "left and right".
But that's alright.
In the future, he could go even further with his adoptive mother, Ah Yin.
He could make her so happy she couldn't pull herself away.
Without further thought, he continued to follow Tang Hao.
As a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, and one of the top figures on the Douluo Continent, it wasn't at all difficult for Tang Hao to find a Gathering Light Beast.
After bringing Tang Yin to a location, he didn't have to wait long before he caught a Gathering Light Beast and tossed it in front of him.
"This Gathering Light Beast is about four hundred years old. After killing it and absorbing it, you can become a Soul Master. Start now."
"Yes, adoptive father."
Tang Yin looked at the Gathering Light Beast in front of him. It resembled a Firefly, but was a full meter in size. Without the slightest hesitation, he killed it cleanly and decisively.
As the yellow Soul Ring rose from the corpse, he sat cross-legged in front of the body and guided the Soul Ring towards himself, beginning to absorb it.
He had been training since childhood and had been toughened by Tang Hao for a period of time. His physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary people, and his willpower was also beyond compare. Absorbing the Soul Ring went without a hitch.
As the Soul Ring slowly settled in, his soul power also broke through from level ten to level eleven, becoming a One-Ring Soul Master.
Then.
He learned the ability of his first Soul Ring Soul Skill.
A combination of the Gathering Light ability from the Gathering Light Beast and his own Green Light ability. The Soul Skill was called: Photosynthesis.
The Soul Skill could be used on plants, doubling the effect of the Green Light's ability to promote growth, allowing them to grow rapidly.
For example, he could previously make a Blue Silver Grass quickly become a Soul Beast with ten years of cultivation. Now, he could make it quickly become a Soul Beast with twenty years of cultivation.
This was still within a minute.
The longer the time, the greater the growth.
There was also another use, which could be applied to oneself.
Using the Soul Skill could double the speed of one's Soul Power cultivation, and it could also use the gathered sunlight to temper every cell in one's body, making the body stronger.
The benefits of this ability were simply unimaginable.
"How is it? What's the Soul Skill?"
Tang Hao immediately stepped forward to ask when he saw his adopted son had successfully absorbed it.
According to his understanding, it should be a Support-Type Soul Skill, and it was also one that would help Ah Yin to revive better and faster.
Heh heh, adoptive father, adoptive father, you never expected to get burned, did you?
Tang Yin was sneering inwardly, but he still pretended to be obedient and described one of his soul skill's abilities.
"The name of my soul skill is Photosynthesis. It can double the effect of my martial soul's abilities, make plants grow faster, and it will also increase with my level."
"Is that so?"
Tang Hao was very satisfied after learning about his adopted son Tang Yin's ability, and it was even better than he expected.
He didn't suspect that his adopted son, Tang Yin, would hide anything from him.
After all, he was always Tang Yin's good adoptive father now.
"Since you've finished absorbing, come with me. We'll go see your third brother, and then we'll go where we need to go. After we get there, I'll tell you what to do."
"Yes, Father."
Tang Yin stood up and patted the dust off his body, then followed Tang Hao, quickly leaving the Soul Beast Forest.
But they hadn't gone far when Tang Hao looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he took Tang Yin and quickly left.
By the time they arrived at Notting Academy, it was completely dark.
"Father, aren't we going to see Third Brother?"
Tang Yin looked at Tang Hao with confusion.
This shouldn't be Tang San's dormitory, right?
Tang Yin looked at the two-story dormitory in front of him with a strange expression.
"Don't rush. Wait outside. I'll be out soon. Don't wander off."
Tang Hao glanced at Tang Yin. After saying this, he jumped onto the balcony of the two-story building and then went inside.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the warning Tang Hao gave when he said 'don't wander off' made Tang Yin feel uneasy.
Get stronger.
Get stronger quickly.
Then get rid of Tang Hao's control.
Control Ah Yin, and take over his adoptive mother.
His heart was filled with urgency.
He guessed.
Later, Tang Hao would definitely take him to see Ah Yin.
Thinking of his adoptive mother, Ah Yin… Tang Yin secretly sneered in his heart.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tang Hao arrived at the door and knocked directly.
The person inside the room was none other than Yu Xiaogang, Tang San's teacher.
Yu Xiaogang, who was working, frowned when he heard the knocking. Usually, no one would come to him except for Tang San.
"Come in." He put down the book in his hand and said faintly.
Then he saw a man in a simple gray robe, with messy black hair scattered over his shoulders, walk in.
His old face was etched with the marks of time, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be those of a man nearing the end of his life, which was completely out of sync with his appearance of only about fifty years old.
"Hello, Master." Tang Hao glanced at Yu Xiaogang, his voice low and a little hoarse.
For some reason, as soon as this person entered the door, Yu Xiaogang instinctively became tense, and even his soul power unconsciously spread throughout his body.
"You are…?" Yu Xiaogang did not recognize the person in front of him.
Tang Hao looked at Yu Xiaogang and said faintly, "Speaking of which, we should have not seen each other for twenty years. No wonder you don't recognize me in my current state. My name is Tang Hao."
"Tang Hao?" Yu Xiaogang's usually calm expression changed drastically, his pupils focused almost instantly, staring fixedly at the person in front of him. His hands gripped the table, and his fingers had turned a pale blue. "You, you are Hao..."
Tang Hao waved his hand, stopping Yu Xiaogang from speaking. He said coldly, "There's no need to mention past titles. Back then, we had some acquaintance. Others might think you're just a madman, but I know you're a persistent person. I'm leaving. Before I go, I want to ask you to take good care of him."
"You're leaving? Going? Where to? He's your son!" Yu Xiaogang glared at Tang Hao, his eyes sharp.
Tang Hao said calmly, "He has his own path to walk. I won't interfere too much. You just need to remember that he is my son."
After saying this, Tang Hao waved his hand, and a black Token clattered to the ground in front of Yu Xiaogang.
Bang, the door closed, and Tang Hao's tall figure had already disappeared.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the Token in his hand and finally sighed.
Since Tang Hao entrusted his son to him, he would definitely cultivate a number one powerhouse in the continent for Tang Hao.
His theories would also certainly be realized in Tang San.
Leaving, Tang Hao then went to see his son Tang San and then hurried with his adopted son Tang Yin to the place where Ah Yin was stored.
As for Xiao Wu, who was with his son Tang San.
As a Title Douluo, he knew at the moment he saw her that Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast that had taken human form.
But he didn't stop it.
This was his son's path, and his son needed to walk it himself.
Now, what he had to do was to take his adopted son Tang Yin to revive his wife, Ah Yin, and then seek revenge on the Spirit Hall.
At this time, Tang San, who was six years old, did not know that his father had come to see him, and that he had brought his older brother, Tang Yin, with him.
He was currently cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Because he had lived with his older brother, Tang Yin, since childhood, he often observed his brother and found that Tang Yin's physique was extremely strong.
Sometimes he would spar with Tang Yin, and he discovered that even after cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he could only manage to fight to a draw.
This made him even more eager to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and grow stronger.
In his heart, he was even thinking that after breaking through the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he would definitely find Tang Yin again and spar, completely defeating him.
A few days later.
Tang Hao had already followed Tang Hao to the outside of a cave.
This cave was well-hidden, located within a crevice behind a waterfall. If Tang Hao hadn't led the way, there was no way to discover this cave.
"Let's go. Inside, I'll tell you everything."
After saying this, Tang Hao took the lead and walked into the cave.
Tang Yin didn't hesitate.
He followed him in.
The cave was very dark, but after reaching the innermost part, everything around them lit up.
Looking up, a stone opening appeared at the top of the cave wall, revealing a stone chamber of only about ten square meters.
There were no furnishings in the stone chamber, it was empty, but directly below the stone opening, there was a small mound of earth.
A slender Blue Silver Grass swayed in the wind on the mound of earth.
That Blue Silver Grass looked a little longer than ordinary grass, and the most peculiar thing was the golden veins on the leaves.
It was Tang Hao's wife, the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin.
Also, Tang Yin's nominal adoptive mother, Ah Yin.
