The Blood Demon Berserk Bear is a type of bear Spirit Beast known for its exceptional strength, defense, and combat prowess.
Through generations of exploration, the Clear Sky Sect has identified it as the optimal choice for the First Soul Ring.
This Spirit Beast possesses a bloodthirsty nature, often growing fiercer as the battle prolongs. Once injured, its ferocity is further ignited, making it highly compatible with the Clear Sky Sect's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique's mastery of leveraging hammer force serves as the foundation for all hammer skills.
Thus, as long as the age was suitable, Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang had planned for Tang San's First Soul Ring of the Clear Sky Hammer to come from a Blood Demon Berserk Bear.
Currently, on the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's territory, a human and a bear were engaged in a frenzied clash.
Tang San wielded the Clear Sky Hammer, his body spinning continuously like a blacksmith forging iron, ultimately channeling all his strength into a devastating blow against the Blood Demon Berserk Bear.
His Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was unlike that of other Clear Sky Sect disciples, which tended to be slower.
Instead, he moved with the lightness of a swallow, his hammer strikes swift as phantoms, one after another.
Tang San had integrated the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps into his hammer technique.
This made the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique more practical for real combat. His speed surpassed that of the Blood Demon Berserk Bear, granting him a dominant advantage in the battle.
After another collision, the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's eyes turned blood-red as it roared furiously at the sky.
This fight had been utterly frustrating for it—its bear paws were always a beat too slow, never quite reaching its opponent.
Meanwhile, its body was already covered in wounds, blood seeping from numerous places after enduring relentless hammer strikes.
Yet, in the Blood Demon Berserk Bear's nature, there was only brutality and bloodlust, no retreat.
After its roar, the bear's body swelled another size larger as it charged headlong toward the massive Clear Sky Hammer.
"Third Brother, it's almost done for! Your Clear Sky Hammer Spirit is incredible!"
Not far away, Xiao Wu cheered Tang San on.
She showed not a hint of pity for the Blood Demon Berserk Bear.
But inwardly, she sighed. The fate of most Spirit Beasts was to become Spirit Rings.
Changing that was far too difficult.
Having come to the human world and visited Poseidon Island, Xiao Wu had gained a new understanding of the plight of Spirit Beasts.
The restrictions imposed on Spirit Beasts must have been decreed by the lofty Deities. Thus, only by becoming a God could this issue be resolved.
Achieving Godhood required a Godhood Inheritance, but obtaining such an inheritance was no easy feat.
So far, Xiao Wu had no leads whatsoever.
Without attaining Godhood, Spirit Beasts would forever remain as Spirit Rings for humans. Xiao Wu sighed, deciding to focus on the present for now.
Even she herself might become Tang San's Spirit Ring at any moment. Better to address this issue first!
Amid Xiao Wu's contemplation, the Blood Demon Berserk Bear collapsed with a thunderous crash. Tang San had finally slain it.
"Xiao Wu, I'm going to absorb the Spirit Ring!" Tang San exclaimed excitedly.
Xiao Wu nodded calmly. "Go ahead and absorb it. I'll keep watch here."
Tang San had complete trust in Xiao Wu.
Last time, when she rescued him from the Evil Soul Masters, it fully demonstrated that in the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu faced no danger whatsoever.
After learning of Xiao Wu's identity as a Spirit Beast, he understood clearly that she had many friends within the Star Dou Great Forest.
But as Father had said, Spirit Beasts' emotions were more sincere than those of humans. Since Xiao Wu had chosen to stay with him, she would certainly never harm him.
Tang San took a step forward and began summoning the energy of the Blood Demon Berserk Bear to attach the First Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu started communicating with the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python.
When she arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, she hadn't concealed her aura. As her sworn brothers, Da Ming and Er Ming had long sensed her presence and had already established a spiritual connection with her.
Through their spiritual exchange, Xiao Wu quickly learned about the battles the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python had experienced since she last left.
As expected, Da Ming and Er Ming hadn't appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest of their own volition. They had been provoked beyond endurance by a hidden Spirit Beast, which led them to chase it relentlessly through the forest until their presence was exposed.
During the battle with Bibi Dong, reinforcements from the Heaven Dou Empire arrived. Da Ming and Er Ming joined forces with them to confront Bibi Dong together.
Then, an Evil Soul Master intervened. Through Er Ming, the Evil Soul Master suddenly snatched away Bibi Dong's External Soul Bone.
Xiao Wu immediately sensed the terror of this Evil Soul Master. Not only was he immensely powerful, but he also controlled Spirit Beasts whose strength rivaled that of Da Ming and Er Ming. Moreover, he had made Bibi Dong suffer a bitter defeat without her being able to retaliate.
She had already learned from Tang San that Tang Xiao suspected this Evil Soul Master possessed a Godhood Inheritance and might ascend to Godhood at any moment.
Xiao Wu instantly developed a deep interest in this Evil Soul Master.
"After you left, did that Spirit Beast that provoked you ever reappear?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Da Ming and Er Ming were filled with resentment. After using them, the Spirit Beast had completely disregarded their lives. Since the battle, they hadn't seen any trace of it again.
The two of them no longer dared to linger in the central area of the Star Dou Great Forest and had hidden themselves near a desolate pond.
Xiao Wu quickly comforted them, "At least this Evil Soul Master harbors no ill will toward you. Don't dwell on it too much. Scout the area to see if any Spirit Hall experts are nearby. I suspect Tang Hao is planning to have me perform a Sacrifice for Tang San. At this critical moment, my identity must have been leaked to the Spirit Hall. The Blue Silver Emperor, the ruler of the Blue Silver Forest, was deceived in the same way back then!"
Xiao Wu cautiously reminded Da Ming and Er Ming.
Da Ming and Er Ming's bond with Xiao Wu was so deep that they would willingly sacrifice themselves for her. Upon hearing that Tang Hao intended to have Xiao Wu perform a Sacrifice, they were instantly enraged.
"Sister Xiao Wu, don't worry. We'll head to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest to investigate right away!"
Although they were communicating through spiritual energy, Er Ming's gesture of pounding his chest as he spoke painted a vivid picture.
The two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts immediately sprang into action.
Xiao Wu felt reassured. Now, all she had to do was wait for Da Ming and Er Ming's investigation results.
If Bibi Dong showed up, all the better. Whatever the Evil Soul Master could do, she could do too. When the time came, she would surely ignite a war between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall.
Your ancestor Xiao Wu is no pushover!
Xiao Wu snorted coldly in her heart.
"Xiao Wu, I succeeded!"
At that moment, Tang San exclaimed excitedly and stood up.
"Third Brother, has your Soul Power Level increased again?" Xiao Wu asked.
"The energy of this Blood Demon Berserk Bear is incredibly potent. It boosted my Soul Power by nearly two levels. I'm now close to level eighty-eight!"
With level ninety in sight, Tang San couldn't contain his excitement.
Cultivating Twin Soul Spirits was exhilarating. All he needed to do was absorb Spirit Rings to increase his Soul Power Level—this was truly a shortcut.
"Then let's hurry and find the next Spirit Beast!" Xiao Wu also looked genuinely happy for Tang San.
Tang San nodded, concerned as he asked, "Xiao Wu, are you upset that I'm hunting Spirit Beasts?"
Xiao Wu's eyes showed reluctance and sorrow as she replied, "Third Brother, this isn't your fault.
Only by absorbing Spirit Rings can we grow stronger—this is something we cannot change.
You don't kill Spirit Beasts indiscriminately, which already makes you far better than most other Soul Masters!"
