Tang Hao's guilt lasted only for a moment before his resolve solidified once more.
His son possessed Twin Soul Spirits and was destined to become the continent's strongest.
Eventually, his son would follow in the footsteps of his grandfather Tang Chen, defeating everyone—whether they were from the Spirit Hall, Dugu Feng, Sword Douluo, or Bone Douluo—all would fall beneath his son's might.
And this Dugu Feng was truly monstrous, with formidable combat prowess and an unprecedented cultivation speed. He would undoubtedly become his son's rival in the future.
If another opportunity arose to hinder Dugu Feng's cultivation, Tang Hao would not hesitate to mislead him again.
"Brother Tang, what Martial Soul are you planning to absorb..." Dugu Feng inquired.
Tang San's eyes flashed with determination as he calmly replied, "I still intend to absorb the Man-faced Demon Spider Spirit Beast. My Spirit Ring Blue Silver Grass has the strongest adaptability and the most vigorous vitality. The Third Soul Skill and Fourth Soul Skill I absorbed from the Man-faced Demon Spiders were both incredibly powerful—this is the most suitable Spirit Beast for me!"
Dugu Feng thought to himself, You just want another External Soul Bone, don't you!
But Tang San had truly been led astray by the deception.
The essence of the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit was its life attribute.
Even when the Blue Silver Emperor sacrificed itself and became a seed, it could regrow—this was the nature of the life attribute, like weeds that could never be fully burned out, springing back to life with the breeze.
Yet, in pursuit of temporary offensive power, Tang San had completely developed the Blue Silver Emperor into a poison attribute.
Based on Dugu Feng's cultivation experience, fully unleashing the essence of one's Martial Soul was crucial for breaking through realms and reducing bottlenecks.
Just like the four major attribute academies and his own poison.
Cultivating the way Tang San did might not show any difference now, and his combat abilities might even be impressive.
But once he reached the Soul Saint level and began using the Martial Soul Avatar, his cultivation speed would inevitably slow due to his insufficient comprehension of the life attribute.
As for Yu Xiaogang's identity as the Grandmaster, he was nothing but a half-baked amateur!
Though Dugu Feng thought this, he had no intention of reminding him.
He would be delighted if Tang San's cultivation progressed slowly!
"Brother Tang, I've also heard from Rongrong about your situation. Those Evil Soul Masters are truly despicable, but the fact that you obtained External Soul Bones both times fully demonstrates the compatibility between the Man-faced Demon Spider and your Martial Soul.
This time, we'll give it our all. If any Evil Soul Masters appear, we'll make sure they never return!"
Dugu Feng's tone was resolute.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's eyes sparkled with anticipation—this time, they were eager for the Evil Soul Masters to show up!
With Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi present, their combined strength could rival a level ninety-eight Titled Expert.
The deterrence alone spoke for itself.
Amid such expectations, the group waited a while longer.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo arrived, accompanied by Meng Shenji.
Meng Shenji's Martial Soul was the Black Demon, a mysterious control-type Spirit, with its most remarkable Soul Skill being the endlessly looping dream.
When Tang San absorbed the Spirit Ring later, he would be enveloped by Meng Shenji's control environment. In such a state, any enemy that appeared would be affected.
No matter how fast the opponent was, the illusion would bewilder anyone with perception—no one could escape it.
With Meng Shenji here, success was virtually guaranteed.
Witnessing such a scene, Dugu Feng couldn't help but feel amused inwardly.
They were really treating this like a grave threat!
Had I been too harsh before? Dugu Feng silently repented for one second.
After Ning Fengzhi and the others arrived, everyone was present, and the group headed north from Heaven Dou City.
About a hundred miles north of Heaven Dou City lay a Soul Hunting Forest, a reserved territory of the Heaven Dou Empire entirely encircled by imperial troops.
They were here to hunt for Spirit Beasts in this forest.
Tang San was absorbing his sixth Spirit Ring, with the normal maximum limit being twenty thousand years, but Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were exceptionally ambitious.
Having undergone the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor and the physical refinement of the Clear Sky Hammer, according to Yu Xiaogang, any Spirit Beast under thirty thousand years would pose no problem.
"With Xiao San's strength, even slightly exceeding thirty thousand years, he can handle it!" Yu Xiaogang's proud demeanor drew a faint, mocking smile from Dugu Feng.
If only you knew I absorbed a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring for my sixth.
You'd probably be shocked out of your wits.
The group swiftly searched through the forest, all being powerful experts, their speed remarkable.
It could be said that no Spirit Beast in this Soul Hunting Forest posed any threat to them.
The strongest among them, Sword Douluo, could single-handedly slaughter every Spirit Beast here.
Thus, the key was to locate the elusive Man-faced Demon Spider with its strong concealment abilities.
Dugu Feng observed the Soul Hunting Forest; its environment was similar to Sunset Forest. According to the information provided by Qian Renxue, the most powerful Spirit Beast here was only sixty thousand years old.
However, thanks to years of imperial cultivation, the variety of Spirit Beasts was comprehensive, and the ecological chain was well-balanced.
Yes, the ecological food chain!
The Heaven Dou Empire managed multiple Soul Hunting Forests and had gained considerable experience.
Whenever any type of Spirit Beast developed overwhelming strength, it was promptly hunted for its Spirit Ring to prevent ecological imbalance.
This ensured every type of Spirit Beast had both natural predators and prey.
Dugu Feng was quite impressed by this.
No wonder Bibi Dong could cultivate 100,000-Year Soul Beasts in Death Canyon.
As for the twenty to thirty-thousand-year Man-faced Demon Spider, patrols of the Soul Hunting Forest had spotted it before.
With careful searching, it was bound to be found.
Dugu Feng and Tang San walked in the center of the group, protected by everyone.
Tang Xiao, however, left the team, using his formidable strength to quickly survey the entire Soul Hunting Forest.
Time passed, and from morning till night, even with Tang Xiao's Titled Expert prowess, the Man-faced Demon Spider remained undiscovered.
At night, the group set up tents and prepared to rest.
Yu Xiaogang encouraged them, "Man-faced Demon Spiders over ten thousand years old possess innate skills to conceal their aura and block mental detection. Unless they are hunting, they are hard to find.
But once it comes out to hunt, it won't escape the detection of Howling Sky Crown. We just need to be patient, and we will surely find it!"
Dugu Feng was well aware of this; all they could do was wait for the Man-faced Demon Spider to reveal itself during a hunt.
For the next three days, they searched patiently.
Finally, on the evening of the fourth day, the Man-faced Demon Spider appeared.
"Let's go, Xiao San! It's up to you now!"
Tang Xiao shouted, leading the way forward.
Dugu Feng also perked up, ready to watch Tang San's performance.
Would an External Soul Bone appear this time?
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo took positions on either side, while Meng Shenji and Ning Fengzhi stood in the center, already summoning their Martial Souls.
They couldn't help but wonder if that mysterious Evil Soul Master would appear again.
Half an hour later.
They had already arrived at the target area.
Everyone scattered and dispersed.
Hiding around the target from all directions.
Only Tang San, with his Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Avatar activated, stepped forward.
This Spirit Ring hunt would be the same as the third and fourth Spirit Ring hunts.
Tang San would hunt alone, relying on his own strength to defeat the Man-faced Demon Spider.
Recreating the scene where the External Soul Bone appeared.
