Ten days later, the sunset forest.
Next to the rushing creek, dense forests and shrubs grew, and the ground was covered with rotten and blackened dead branches and leaves, dark and damp.
On the yellow and white carpet, Tang San sat cross-legged, with a giant black spider lying in front of him.
Behind him, Tang Hao stood majestically, while Tai Tan stood further away with his back turned, alert to his surroundings.
"Huh..." With a breath of turbid breath from his mouth, Tang San faintly woke up.
Tang Hao did not ask questions immediately, but quietly watched as the Eight Spider Spears emerged from behind his son Tang San and inserted into the body of the spider in front. The next moment, inside the black spider's hard shell, the originally plump and purple cortex shrank rapidly and lost its luster at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a while, Tang San withdrew the Eight Spider Spear and slowly stood up, his face unable to contain the joy.
"Dad, my soul power is level 53."
"Yeah, not bad." Tang Hao nodded calmly, without much surprise on his face. In his opinion, with his son's previous 45-level soul power, if he absorbed four soul bones in a row, the increased soul power would definitely exceed level 50, which is unnecessary. It is normal for the soul power to appear after absorbing the soul ring. In addition, after absorbing the soul ring, he also devoured the corpse of the black scorpion spider, a top-level spider soul beast that was 30,000 years old, and his body strength increased again. The soul power breaking through level 53 was only expected.
At this time, Tai Tan, who had heard the conversation between the two, also rushed over, looking Tang San up and down with a hint of awe on his face. Under the age of 14, his soul power reached level 53, which is unique in the entire soul master world.
"Young Master will definitely be able to lead our clan and Haotian Sect out of the current predicament and reach the top of the soul master world."
He was extremely confident inside.
"How about soul skills?" Tang Hao nodded slightly.
"Dad, my fifth soul skill is called Blue Silver Stab." Tang San smiled slightly, filled with pride in his heart, "After using it, the vines created by my spirit can instantly harden, strengthen the defense, and at the same time, the top can turn into a sharp edge. The sharp spikes penetrate the opponent. Moreover, this soul skill can be used in conjunction with other soul skills of my martial soul. It can be used in groups as well as on a single target. It can be said to be an integrated attack and defense."
"It's a good soul skill. If it can be developed properly, it has huge potential." Tang Hao also had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Congratulations, young master." Tai Tan congratulated quickly.
"It's just luck." Tang San smiled, "To be honest, I didn't expect to encounter a spider spirit like the Black Scorpion Terror Spider that has both strength and defense and is extremely offensive in this Sunset Forest. beast."
The Black Scorpion Spider, known as the Night Killer among the soul master race, is an extremely rare and brutal soul beast. It was once considered by the soul master world to be a new type of soul beast produced by the combination of a certain scorpion soul beast and a spider soul beast, because the appearance of this kind of soul beast is too similar to a scorpion.
The whole body is covered with a dark hard shell, giving it extremely strong defense. There is a long tail hook growing on the tail, which contains violent neurotoxins. The two barbed fangs in front of the mouth are thick, long and powerful, just like the eight long legs on both sides of its body. Not only are they incredibly powerful, but the tops are extremely sharp and can easily pierce gold and stone.
The Black Scorpion Spider's hunting method benefits from this. Unlike other spider soul beasts, the Black Scorpion Spider does not like to hunt by weaving webs and waiting for prey. Instead, it wanders among the trees. After discovering the prey, it quickly kills it from a high altitude. With its high defense and strong body, it bites the prey with its spider legs and fangs, and then pierces the prey's wound with its tail hook and injects highly toxic poison to defeat the enemy. Death place.
It is the most top-notch existence among spider soul beasts.
"Lan Yincao is a useless martial spirit. Instead of continuing to add toughness and toxicity to improve the control ability, it is better to increase the offensiveness of the martial spirit by adding strength-type soul rings, and at the same time continuously improve the physical strength of one's own body, laying a solid foundation for practicing the Clear Sky Hammer in the future. The foundation." Tang San thought secretly in his heart, the Clear Sky Hammer is a powerful martial spirit, and the stronger the body's strength, the easier it is to use it.
As for the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit, it is now just a transitional tool for him to practice to the title realm.
"However, I was really lucky this time, and I actually met the Black Scorpion Spider." After absorbing the 30,000-year-old Black Scorpion Spider's soul ring, not only did his physical strength greatly increase, but the strength and defense of the Blue Silver Grass Spirit were also It has been significantly enhanced and has good aggressiveness.
The key is that the soul skill Blue Silver Thrust obtained is also the best, which is simply an unexpected surprise.
"After all, it's a leapfrog absorption of soul rings."
Tang San also secretly lamented that under normal circumstances, the soul ring absorbed by a soul master when he broke through the Soul Emperor was only twenty thousand years old, but when he broke through the Soul King, he could absorb a thirty thousand year old soul ring, regardless of physical strength or cultivation level. He is undoubtedly far ahead of his peers.
"Young Master, you are humble. I have lived for most of my life, but I have never heard of anyone reaching such a level at your age." Tai Tan said with a smile.
Tang Hao's face was dull, and he just pointed to a big tree on one side where several people were hugging each other, "Xiao San, try the power of your soul skills against that big tree."
"Yes, dad." Tang San recovered his thoughts, summoned his martial spirit, and looked at the big tree, "The fifth soul skill, blue and silver thrust."
As soon as he finished speaking, several glowing black vines instantly stretched out and shot straight out.
"Puff puff..." The big tree was instantly pierced. Slowly retracting the vines, and looking around, you can clearly see the smooth, arm-sized holes between the tree trunks.
"The penetrating power is good." Tang Hao nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Xiaosan, since the vines made by your martial spirit can harden and have such penetrating power, you can try to use it as a spear in the future. , use the spirit of weapons to fight."
Hearing this, Tang San's eyes also lit up, "Okay dad, the kid will try more during this time."
"Yes." Tang Hao nodded, "In that case, let's go back."
"Yes, Dad." Tang San nodded and moved to follow him. Since he left Tiandou City and went to Haotian Sect, absorbing soul bones, he had wasted half a month. Then he rushed to the Sunset Forest to find a suitable soul beast, which took several days. Plus the time required for the return trip, it was expected that by the time he returned to Tiandou City, the promotion competition for the Soul Master Competition would be about to begin.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, tightened his right fist slightly, and looked up in the direction of Tiandou City, full of fighting spirit.
"Ning Xiaotian, Dugu Yan...it's time for you to pay the price. Are you ready?"
...
Early in the morning, on the outskirts of Tiandou City.
All the major colleges in the promotion competition are gathered in one place.
The main purpose of holding the continent-wide soul master competition promotion competition is to allow participating students from major colleges to show their personal strength and facilitate the empire to discover talents. Therefore, the venue for the competition was not on the several stages of the Grand Soul Fighting Arena, but at the Grand Campus of the Royal Knights in the suburbs.
Including Tiandou Royal Academy, there are a total of 16 teams participating in the promotion competition, and there will be 15 rounds of round-robin competition.
One round per day, 8 games per round.
For this promotion competition, the royal family has already renovated the school grounds and planned a circular venue with a diameter of more than 100 meters in the center of the school grounds. The space is wider. This is also to make it easier for the contestants to show their strength.
Looking around, the VIP seats are located directly in the north of the venue.
Different from the preliminaries, there are far fewer people who can sit in the VIP seats in the promotion matches. The small nobles and high-level officials of small families in Tiandou City are not eligible to sit on them.
Now sitting at the front are "Xue Qinghe", Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Salas and others. Behind them were a group of high-ranking military generals from the empire, as well as some senior officials stationed in the Spirit Hall of Tiandou City.
On both sides of the VIP seats are the resting and waiting areas for each college that have been divided into zones.
As for the outside, it was already surrounded by thousands of royal knights.
Not long after, the prince "Xue Qinghe" stood up from the VIP seat and spoke loudly through the soul guide.
"I announce that the promotion competition for this continent-wide soul master competition will officially begin at this time. In the next fifteen days, I hope that the participating teams and players from all colleges will give full play to their strengths..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tsunami-like chorus of shouts suddenly came from the direction of the peripheral knights.
"Long live, long live, long live!"
With such a battle, everyone present had strange expressions on their faces, some were excited, some were surprised...
After finishing speaking, the host slowly stepped forward.
"I announce that the first match of the first round of the promotion competition will be between Sanyuan Academy and Blazing Academy..."
