Chapter 345: Dark Blue Silver Grass
🕑 Added 2025-03-27 17:52:03 +0000 UTCTang San was thrilled to see that his soul power could rapidly increase by absorbing the energy of soul beasts.
Even though Tang San had absorbed several soul beasts, he was still only at level 88. One must know that for a Soul Douluo to advance a single level, even a highly talented soul master would require at least a year or even several years. Most soul masters would never be able to break through a level in their entire lifetime.
At this moment, Xiao Wu seemed to understand what Tang San was trying to do. She hurriedly tried to stop him, saying, "Third Brother, you'd better not absorb soul beasts' energy like this. Your body may lose control in the future, especially since the energies of various soul beasts are highly chaotic. This could end up destroying you."
However, Tang San clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with an endless, fierce glow. "Xiao Wu, we have already reached the most critical moment. Whether it's to protect you or for revenge, I must become stronger as quickly as possible! I have to break through to Title Douluo as soon as possible and add spirit rings to my Clear Sky Hammer. Otherwise, whether against the Spirit Empire or Yang Podi, we will have no chance of survival at all!"
Although Xiao Wu's face was full of reluctance and deep worry, she also understood the difficulties Tang San faced and the dangerous situation they were in.
In the following days, Tang San continued to absorb different soul beasts, starting from thousand-year soul beasts to eventually ten-thousand-year soul beasts. His soul power increased at an unprecedented speed.
However, because Xiao Wu was present, Tang San did not absorb the energy of relatively gentle or weaker soul beasts. Instead, he targeted the more ferocious and violent ones, such as highly poisonous spider-type soul beasts, snake-type soul beasts, and even those that specialized in hunting and feeding on Soft Bone Rabbits. This was, in a way, avenging Xiao Wu.
In just five days, Tang San had absorbed the energy of over twenty soul beasts. His entire being began to emit an extremely eerie aura. Most notably, his soul power had already reached the peak of level 89, making it seem like he could break through to level 90 at any moment.
However, neither Tang San nor Xiao Wu noticed that when the corpses and energy of these soul beasts were absorbed by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, its originally dark green color seemed to grow even darker.
Especially as these energies entered Tang San's body, they were neither pure nor simple. They seemed to be merging with his bloodline, causing the once-dormant Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within him to become more chaotic and to lean toward darkness.
At the same time, as this energy was absorbed, the lingering spirits of the soul beasts came with it—each of them filled with endless despair and agony.
Although the influence of each individual soul beast's spirit was subtle, as Tang San continued to hunt and devour more soul beasts, his soul also began to change. He became more extreme, more bloodthirsty, and more prone to falling into a state of madness.
However, when Tang San reached the peak of level 89, his body and martial soul seemed to hit a bottleneck. Even after absorbing multiple ten-thousand-year soul beasts, he could not break through.
Unbeknownst to Tang San and Xiao Wu, a pair of eyes was watching them from a distance. The gaze was cold, carrying a hint of ridicule.
As he remained stuck at the bottleneck, Tang San grew increasingly desperate to break through. His obsession with power only deepened.
Tang San knew that if he truly relied on devouring soul beasts to break through to Title Douluo, his martial soul and body would undergo immense changes. An invisible force seemed to be guiding him toward that fate.
But now, Tang San no longer cared. No matter what happened to his body, nothing could stop him from seeking revenge—nothing could stop him from protecting Xiao Wu!
As Tang San continued hunting and absorbing the energy of over twenty ten-thousand-year soul beasts, he finally shattered the final barrier.
At this moment, Tang San did not feel the slightest bit of pain. On the contrary, his entire body felt more unrestrained than ever before. His mind and spirit felt clearer than ever. At the same time, his originally dark green Blue Silver Grass had, at the moment of breaking through to Title Douluo, turned completely black.
If this were ten thousand years later, when martial soul research had advanced, everyone would recognize this as an extremely sinister and cruel variant—Dark Blue Silver Grass, a true symbol of an Evil Soul Master.
Furthermore, the Blue Silver Grass's original wood and life attributes had gradually transformed into dark and evil attributes. There was no longer any possibility of restoring it to its original form.
At this moment, Tang San suddenly tilted his head back and let out a long howl. This laughter was filled with intense hatred and a deep bloodthirst. The energy he exuded bore a striking resemblance to that of the Rakshasa God.
After finishing everything, Tang San turned to Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, do you know if there are still any hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest? I have finally broken through to Title Douluo and now need soul rings—many soul rings."
Xiao Wu looked extremely worried. "Third Brother, I know you want to improve your strength quickly, but I think you should consolidate your realm first and adjust your body. Otherwise, I fear you will be in danger."
Tang San, however, simply grinned. "Xiao Wu, don't worry about me. I feel great right now—better than ever."
At this moment, Tang San's entire appearance still seemed normal, and his soul power had reached an extremely formidable level. However, his once slightly rosy complexion had turned deathly pale, almost eerie. His eyes were now as dark as ink, lacking the light of normal human eyes.
Seeing that Xiao Wu remained silent, Tang San continued, "Xiao Wu, since you and Da Ming and Er Ming have lived in the Star Dou Forest for so long, do you have any enemies?"
After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Wu finally spoke. "Although Da Ming and Er Ming are the overlords of the Star Dou Forest, there are still many soul beasts capable of opposing them."
"For example, there is a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Its entire body is black, and it is extremely vicious and evil. It relies on devouring soul beasts to extend its lifespan. It is the greatest scourge of the Star Dou Forest. Unfortunately, it has survived for over fifty thousand years, and even Da Ming and Er Ming could not kill it."
"There are also three Thousand-Jin Ants in the forest. They have always fought against Da Ming and Er Ming over the territory of the Lake of Life. Although Da Ming has always driven them away, their strength is formidable."
"Additionally, there is a Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow that specializes in devouring weaker soul beasts. Even though it is alone, not even Da Ming and Er Ming can do anything about it."
