In the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python brought Tang San and Xiao Wu back to their original location.
At this moment, Tang Chen looked extremely serious. It was clear he had also felt the Soul Power fluctuations from the Core Area of Life Lake just now. Even though Tang Chen was a Level 99 Limit Douluo, he felt the opponent's strength seemed to be above his own.
Tang Chen was also a little surprised. He hadn't expected that besides himself, Bo Saixi, and Qian Daoliu, there were actually other Limit Douluo in this world. It was almost unbelievable.
However, after Tang San returned, and after a conversation between Tang San and Tang Chen, they learned that there was a Black Dragon hidden in the Core Area of the Star Dou Great Forest, and this Black Dragon's strength had actually reached the Limit Douluo level.
Tang Chen looked at Tang San with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Xiao San, from now on, unless it's something absolutely crucial, you must never easily provoke Yang Xiong. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss."
Tang San's face showed surprise: "Great Grandfather, Yang Xiong and I are classmates. There shouldn't be any conflict between us, much less a clash."
Tang Chen shook his head: "Xiao San, after spending this time together, I have some understanding of your personality."
"You strive for the best in everything. Although you appear very humble on the surface, you are very stubborn at heart and cultivate extremely diligently. Especially, your feelings for Xiao Wu are very deep, and you won't allow anyone to harm her."
"You and Yang Xiong have been classmates all this time, but from beginning to end, Yang Xiong's strength has always suppressed yours. You've been enduring it, wanting to reach Titled Douluo and then quickly increase your strength by adding Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, so you might surpass Yang Xiong."
"I know you feel unwilling, but while Twin Martial Souls are powerful, they aren't necessarily truly invincible. Just like Bibi Dong, whom you've met, although her strength is good, even if she reaches Level 99, there's still a certain gap between her and me and Qian Daoliu."
Tang San's slightly smiling face gradually became tense, and finally turned a little angry.
"Great Grandfather, I have Innate Full Soul Power, I have Twin Martial Souls, my talent is not inferior to anyone, especially not to Yang Xiong. I've known Yang Xiong for so many years, and I've never once beaten him. I don't believe I'll lose to him my entire life."
"That's why I've been cultivating hard these past few years, wanting to reach Titled Douluo as quickly as possible and add Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer as soon as possible. At that time, I will definitely be able to surpass him in strength."
Tang Chen's expression was serious: "Xiao San, you're a bit obsessed. Back then, Qian Daoliu and I were Mortal Enemies from birth, but over the years, we sparred with each other, encouraged each other, and eventually became good friends."
"From this perspective, perhaps I'm a bit dark, but at least in terms of personal charm, I still admire Qian Daoliu greatly. It's precisely because I trust his character and integrity that I made alliances with him multiple times, which is why I could ensure that my Clear Sky Sect could be passed down back then."
"I hope you also consider this aspect. You can be opponents, you can be enemies, but you must compete fairly and encourage each other. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll go down the wrong path."
A hint of unwillingness appeared on Tang San's face: "Great Grandfather, don't you believe in my talent either? My Clear Sky Hammer can still add seven Soul Rings, and my Blue Silver Grass also has a God-Bestowed Soul Ring. At that time, all the Soul Rings on my Clear Sky Hammer can exceed 50,000 years, and even have multiple 100,000-Year Soul Rings. Coupled with the Top-Tier Soul Bones I've obtained, my Clear Sky Hammer will be unprecedentedly powerful."
"And given my current situation, in as short as half a year to a year, I can definitely reach the Super Douluo level. At that time, I will definitely be able to defeat Yang Xiong."
Tang Chen shook his head: "Xiao San, you've underestimated Yang Xiong. I'm afraid everyone in the world has underestimated Yang Xiong."
"I don't know where Yang Xiong got the information, to actually know the secrets of the Star Dou Great Forest and find such a powerful Soul Beast, but Yang Xiong's strength is definitely beyond your and my imagination."
"Although Yang Xiong is only Level 90 now, he's not in a hurry to obtain his last Soul Ring. Clearly, he wants to undergo extreme Body Refinement, raise his physical fitness to the peak, and then add that crucial Soul Ring."
"You should have seen the last battle. Thousand Jun Douluo and Subduing Demon Douluo were both Level 96, and both were power-type Titled Douluo, but Yang Xiong, at only Level 90, was able to fight two of them at once, and didn't even exert much effort. That shows Yang Xiong's current strength has probably reached Level 98."
"Moreover, he has the Asura Demon Sword in his hand. In just a few months, Yang Xiong was able to master the Asura Demon Sword and wield it to such a degree. Even I, who have wielded the Asura Demon Sword for so many years, couldn't do it. This indicates that Yang Xiong has probably had a connection with the Asura God for a long time."
A hint of bitterness appeared on Tang San's face: "Great Grandfather, I'm not willing. I'm not willing to always be beneath others. I'm not willing to be unknown my entire life."
"Back in the Soul Master Competition, Yang Xiong performed better than me. Even though my Soul Power level was higher than his, his combat power was stronger than mine."
"My biggest goal in this world is to establish the Tang Sect, and to make the Tang Sect flourish."
"Originally, I planned to absorb the Four Single Attribute Families, and then quickly develop based on the relationship between the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. At that time, the Tang Sect would definitely be the largest Sect in the world."
"Unfortunately, one wrong move, and the Tang Sect was just established when it was completely wiped out by the Spirit Hall. Now, only Titan is left. And ironically, Yang Xiong actually established a more powerful Body Sect through the Three Single Attribute Families. Its overall strength even rivals the Upper Three Sects."
"One by one, all my hard work has gone to waste. How can I be willing?"
"Don't think I don't know how Yang Xiong became strong. He just had an opportunity and occasionally obtained the Immortal Herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. If I also had the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, my strength would definitely not be what it is now. If all the Four Single Attribute Families had defected to me, the Spirit Hall wouldn't have been able to destroy the Tang Sect so easily back then."
After Tang San finished speaking, everyone around fell silent. Even Xiao Wu didn't know how to comfort Tang San.
Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao San, I feel like you've changed a bit recently, becoming more extreme. You've absorbed two Soul Rings consecutively recently. You'd best consolidate your strength first, otherwise I'm afraid your cultivation will hit a bottleneck."
Tang San shook his head: "Great Grandfather, I've already overcome all my bottlenecks. I'm already a Titled Douluo now, and I can add Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer at will. I can definitely become stronger as quickly as possible, and it's even possible to surpass Yang Xiong."
"No matter how strong this Yang Xiong is, he can only add one more Soul Ring now. His cultivation speed will slow down, and my Soul Power will surpass his, and even my strength will surpass his."
"Moreover, I have now received a God's inheritance. As long as I complete the trials, I can definitely become the strongest person in this world."
Tang Chen's expression was serious: "Xiao San, it's precisely because you now have a God's inheritance that I'm saying these words to you today."
"Becoming a God is not that simple. Besides personal strength, there are very high requirements for mental power and personal willpower. Back then, I was too arrogant, which is why I got lost during the God Test. I don't want you to follow my old path, and you don't need to be too extreme."
Tang San gradually calmed down upon hearing this and bowed to Tang Chen.
"Great Grandfather, thank you for your reminder. I've always been upright and will never go down a crooked path. Even if I challenge Yang Xiong, it will definitely be fair and square."
Tang Chen sighed helplessly. His time was running out now, and he didn't have time to slowly temper Tang San's character, nor did he have time to cultivate Tang San's concept of Sect and family.
Moreover, Tang Chen was very worried about Tang San accepting the God's inheritance. Ever since Tang San absorbed the two Soul Rings from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Evil God Pearl, his personality seemed to have changed a bit.
Before, no matter when, Tang San always appeared like a gentle gentleman. Even if he was a bit extreme internally, he never showed it.
But now, he had only given a reminder, and Tang San seemed to become extremely agitated, as if influenced by the evil energy of the two Soul Rings, or perhaps revealing his originally hidden personality.
Soon, under the protection of Tang Chen and Xiao Wu, Tang San prepared to begin absorbing the Blue Silver Grass's Ninth Soul Ring.
This was the reward Tang San received after completing the Sea God Island's Red Level Seven Trials. At that time, Tang San had only added Soul Rings to his Blue Silver Grass, so this Soul Ring could also only be absorbed by the Blue Silver Grass.
A God-Bestowed Soul Ring itself is attribute-less and can automatically adapt to the Soul Master's best Soul Skill.
Tang San himself sat cross-legged in place. After the God-Bestowed Soul Ring appeared, his entire body seemed to be wrapped in golden mist.
But as the energy gradually surged in, it gradually matched Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and the attributes of all the Soul Rings he had originally obtained.
This time, Tang San absorbed for a full half a month. During the process, Tang San truly gave his all, even pushing his entire body to the limit, his face slightly contorted.
By the time Tang San finished absorbing it, the Blue Silver Grass had actually started to change, turning from its original deep blue to black. A surge of black energy rapidly filled the surrounding space, making even the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python feel a bit numb.
Over the years, Tang San had absorbed too many poison-attribute Soul Rings, and these Soul Rings leaned towards the dark attribute, especially the crucial Eighth Soul Ring which came from a Black Scale Merman.
Ultimately, Tang San obtained a 100,000-Year Soul Ring, his first one.
After absorbing the Soul Ring, Tang San let out a long roar towards the sky. This Blue Silver Grass Ninth Soul Ring was arguably the biggest boost Tang San had ever received. Not only did he gain two excellent Soul Skills, but to his surprise, by absorbing the Soul Ring, he finally awakened a Domain.
Tang San's Soul Power also increased to Level 91; he was now a true Titled Douluo.
