Chapter 204: Forced Fusion of a Ten-Year Soul Bone
This sudden Ten-Year Soul Ring was nothing short of a burden for Tang San.
Not only did it turn him into a laughingstock in the soul master world, but more seriously, it would directly reduce the age limit of his future third soul ring.
On the path of cultivation ahead, if Tang San could not find every possible way to strengthen his physique, then his future third soul ring would absolutely be unable to withstand a thousand-year-level soul ring.
At the moment when that Ten-Year Lone Bamboo had just erupted with the light of sacrifice,
Tang Hao, who had been hiding in the shadows protecting him, immediately sensed that something was wrong and revealed himself.
He wanted to forcibly intervene and interrupt this absurd sacrifice.
But a process like a soul beast sacrifice, one that involves the laws of heaven and earth, how could it be so easily interrupted?
In truth, with the weak energy field formed by this Ten-Year Lone Bamboo's sacrifice,
If Tang Hao truly wanted to rely on the strength of a Soul Douluo to forcibly stop it, it would still have been very easy.
However, the difficulty of this matter lay in the fact that this Lone Bamboo's sacrifice was far too sudden and bizarre!
Moreover, precisely because it was only a Ten-Year Soul Ring with extremely little energy, Tang San's passive absorption speed was completed in merely an instant!
It could be said that just as Tang Hao anxiously revealed himself from the forest, having just summoned the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, in the very next moment, Tang San had already completely absorbed that white Ten-Year Soul Ring.
What's done is done.
Tang Hao looked at the glaring white ring beneath his son's feet, his expression turning extremely gloomy, as if it could drip water.
The hand gripping the Clear Sky Hammer trembled violently. Who the hell was he supposed to reason with about this?!
A once-in-a-generation twin martial soul genius, yet that crucial second, the soul ring had absorbed a ten-year soul ring that even dogs wouldn't want!
Xiao Chenyu: Right, right, dogs don't want it, but I do…
Under normal circumstances, after a soul master absorbed this white Ten-Year Soul Ring, this farce should have completely ended.
However, the terrifying power of that misfortune card was still taking effect, step by step.
As everyone knew, if a soul beast chose to actively sacrifice itself, it would one hundred percent produce a soul bone.
Even if the soul beast in front of them was merely a mindless Ten-Year Lone Bamboo, the rule still applied.
Just as the white soul ring beneath Tang San's feet stabilized, a faint white light suddenly flickered from the remains of that completely withered Lone Bamboo.
Immediately after, a Ten-Year Right Leg Bone condensed from the essence of the Lone Bamboo turned into a streak of white light and shot straight toward Tang San.
This Ten-Year Right Leg Bone gave Tang San no chance to react, crashing directly into his right leg.
This force instantly completed a forced fusion, completely ignoring Tang San's own will to resist!
This second sudden development left everyone present utterly dumbfounded. They stared at each other wide-eyed, completely at a loss for words.
Being forced to absorb a Ten-Year Soul Ring was one thing, but now even the accompanying Ten-Year Soul Bone was forcibly fused as well?!
If this didn't involve some shady manipulation behind the scenes, no one present would believe it!
Someone had to be hiding in the shadows, deliberately sabotaging Tang San, trying to completely destroy this genius's foundation!
But who could this person be?
The people of Nuoding City's Nuoding Academy immediately ruled out the possibility of a human soul master.
Because among human soul masters, even a supreme existence like Qian Daoliu from Spirit Hall could not possibly achieve something as absurd as forcibly triggering a sacrifice like this.
Since humans couldn't do it, it could only be some terrifyingly powerful soul beast.
But in this mere low-level Soul Hunting Forest, what kind of soul beast could completely evade Tang Hao's perception as a Soul Douluo?
And even silently make a Ten-Year Lone Bamboo actively sacrifice itself, while also forcibly making Tang San fuse with this trash soul bone?
This situation also left the usually self-proclaimed theory-invincible Yu Xiaogang somewhat at a loss. None of this was written in his ten core competencies theories of martial souls.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang happened to see Tang Hao, whose face was dark and gloomy, walking out of the forest.
Ignoring everyone else's shock, Yu Xiaogang quickly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this situation…"
He trailed off, unable to find the words to explain such a rule-breaking and outrageous event.
Tang Hao interrupted him in a deep voice, coldly saying, "This isn't the place to talk. Take Xiao San back first."
Meanwhile, Tang San, upon seeing his father suddenly appear, felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
So his father hadn't abandoned him to go far away; he had been silently protecting him all along.
But suddenly, Tang San's gaze froze. He noticed Tang Hao's right sleeve fluttering in the wind.
His father's right arm… seemed to be gone!
Tang San's expression changed drastically as he staggered forward. "Father, what happened to your arm?!"
Tang Hao looked at his concerned son with complicated eyes and shook his head, somewhat helplessly.
"Just a small accident. I merely lost an arm. But that's not what you should be concerned about right now."
The group returned to Nuoding Academy, each carrying heavy thoughts.
After returning to Yu Xiaogang's newly repaired office, Tang Hao sat in a chair, looking deeply at Tang San.
After thinking carefully, Tang Hao let out a long sigh and said, "Xiao San, I originally planned to wait until your cultivation reached at least the level of a Soul Ancestor."
"Then I would personally take you to train. But now it seems this plan must be brought forward."
Tang Hao pointed at the white soul ring beneath Tang San's feet, his tone grave.
"Although I don't know what kind of bizarre reason caused this Ten-Year Lone Bamboo to suddenly go mad and sacrifice itself to you."
"But what's done is done. Since there's no way to change this terrible reality now, you can only take another path and strengthen your physique."
"Otherwise, because of the severe burden from this Ten-Year Soul Ring, your future third soul ring won't even be able to reach the thousand-year level."
Hearing his father's words, Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
"However, this is still a blessing in disguise," Tang Hao continued, slightly softening his tone.
"You don't just have Blue Silver Grass martial soul. You also have your second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. Twin martial souls are your greatest trump card for turning things around."
"As long as your Blue Silver Grass martial soul can barely be cultivated to rank seventy, reaching the Soul Saint level and obtaining the Martial Soul True Body,"
"You can then directly shift to cultivating the powerful Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. At that time, you will still be one of the top experts on this continent!"
