Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 17 Tang San's Two Soul Skills: A brutal beating of Zhao Wuji
"How dare you injure students from Shrek Academy! Which academy do you belong to?"

Zhao Wuji's gaze swept over Tang San and Xiao Wu. These two were so young yet possessed such strength; they must have an impressive background. Perhaps their teacher was nearby.

It was his past experience of being hunted that made Zhao Wuji more cautious.

Under the pressure of a Soul Saint, Tang San and Xiao Wu's expressions changed instantly. This pressure far exceeded that of Dai Mubai, causing the circulation of their soul power to become sluggish.

"After beating up the young one, now an old one comes along. Shrek Academy is truly a bunch of scoundrels."

Tang San struggled to support himself, his eyes cold and sharp, his words showing no sign of backing down.

"Insanity!"

These words indeed provoked Zhao Wuji. He took a step forward, causing the ground to tremble slightly. He then formed his right palm and, accompanied by a howling wind, struck directly at Tang San.

Although he didn't use his martial soul, Tang San's soul power at the Soul Saint level was so great that even a Soul King wouldn't be able to withstand it. If this palm strike had landed, Tang San would have been seriously injured.

"Little San!"

Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, wanting to rush forward to help, but was forced to remain motionless by the immense pressure.

Faced with this unavoidable palm strike, Tang San's eyes sharpened like an eagle's, and he instantly unleashed the Ghost Shadow Step to its fullest extent, his figure drifting backward like a ghost.

At the same time, he swept his hands across the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, and dozens of cold lights shot out like a sudden storm!

These are Tang Sect hidden weapons meticulously crafted by Tang San.

These hidden weapons were angled in a tricky way, not aimed directly at Zhao Wuji's vital points, but rather at his joints, eyes, ears, nose and mouth, which were vulnerable areas, with the aim of interfering with and hindering him.

Zhao Wuji was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting this young man to be so extraordinary.

With a wave of his hand, his powerful soul force formed a wall of energy, which blasted away most of the hidden weapons. However, a few willow-leaf blades with extremely tricky angles still pierced through the gaps in his soul force, grazing his skin and leaving a few thin bloodstains.

"Second Soul Skill: Flower Picking and Leaf Flying!"

Tang San gave a low shout, and the second yellow spirit ring under his feet lit up.

Countless blue silver grass vines grew rapidly around him and gathered in front of him, each vine adorned with sharp, knife-like pale gold leaves.

Immediately afterwards, Tang San's hands flew up like the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, using an extremely strange technique to shoot the leaves towards Zhao Wuji!

This second spirit ring comes from a 700-year-old Thousand-Blade Golden Chrysanthemum, which grants the Blue Silver Grass the ability to attack by detaching its leaves. Each leaf contains considerable cutting power and covers a very wide area.

Lin Mu chose this spirit ring after considering two factors: firstly, to enhance the vitality of the Blue Silver Grass, and secondly, to strengthen Tang San's attack power.

When combined with Tang Sect's hidden weapon techniques, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul's strength can be elevated to a higher level.

"First Soul Skill, Immovable King Body!"

Upon seeing the dense array of leaf blades, Zhao Wuji's expression became noticeably more serious, and his first spirit ring lit up.

A layer of solidified golden light covered his entire body. The sharp blue silver grass leaves struck the golden light, producing a dense "hissing" sound. Most of them were deflected, but a few pierced through Zhao Wuji's defenses.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang San once again used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps to create distance, and with a series of swift movements, shot out several golden needles mixed with Blue Silver Grass leaf blades.

Strike straight at Zhao Wuji's eyes and throat!
"Third Soul Skill: Gravity Enhancement!"

"The fifth soul skill, gravity squeeze!"

Zhao Wuji was completely enraged and used two soul skills at the same time, clearly intending to kill.

Tang San felt his body sink, and his Ghost Shadow Steps became sluggish, as if he were sinking into a swamp.

Immediately afterward, the terrifying impact deflected all the hidden weapons back and sent Tang San flying, crashing heavily against the wall. "Let's see how you dodge this time!"

Zhao Wuji grinned maliciously, showing no intention of letting Tang San go, and his second spirit ring lit up immediately.

At this critical moment, a resolute glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and the only purple spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly shone brightly!
"Third Soul Skill: Life Sharing!"

Just as the purple spirit ring lit up, the blue silver grass in the Star Dou Great Forest began to sway, and little by little, blue light spots gathered towards the inn.

Inside the inn, countless more solid and vibrant blue-gold vines intertwined in front of Tang San, forming a thick blue-gold shield.

Zhao Wuji's palm, imbued with terrifying soul power, slammed solidly into the shield.

"boom!!"

Amidst the deafening roar, the shield formed from Blue Silver Grass trembled violently, countless cracks appearing on its surface, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Although the shield absorbed most of the force, the remaining impact was still too much for Tang San to handle. His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering a significant injury.

However, the fact that it could block a Soul Saint's second Soul Ring is enough to demonstrate the power of this Soul Skill.

This third soul skill is derived from a thousand-year-old symbiotic ancient tree. This soul skill is not a direct attack or defense, but rather, under certain conditions, it allows the user to share vitality with the surrounding plants.

Currently, Tang San's soul power can only share life force with the Blue Silver Grass.

Fortunately, this was the Star Dou Great Forest, which was not lacking in Blue Silver Grass, so they were able to barely block Zhao Wuji's attack.

Zhao Wuji stood there, stunned, unable to comprehend how a Soul Venerable could block his attack.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Tang San, enduring the excruciating pain churning within his internal organs, seized this fleeting opportunity with the sharpest light emanating from his Purple Demon Eyes.

His wrist, hidden in his sleeve, suddenly jerked!
A barely perceptible streak of dark light silently tore through the air, heading straight for Zhao Wuji's palm.

By the time Zhao Wuji realized the danger, it was too late.

"puff!"

With a slight piercing sound, the bone-piercing needle precisely entered Zhao Wuji's palm, and the intense pain stimulated his nerves.

"you wanna die!"

Zhao Wuji was completely enraged. He strode forward, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, clearly intending to kill Tang San to vent his anger.

Xiao Wu rushed to Tang San's side and supported him, her eyes filled with anxiety and anger.

At this critical moment.

"furious!"

A soft shout mixed with the intimidating power of soul force rang out, causing Zhao Wuji's heart to sink. Could it be that the teacher behind these two was also a Soul Saint?

Just as Zhao Wuji was on guard, a fiery red figure appeared in front of him like a ghost. Without using any soul skills, it sent Zhao Wuji flying dozens of meters away with just one punch.

"How can it be!!"

Zhao Wuji was shocked. This person was a Soul Douluo or a Title Douluo who had been sent flying so far without using any Soul Skills.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, another punch came flying at him, slamming him heavily to the ground.

The fists fell like meteors, each punch containing terrifying power, leaving Zhao Wuji with no way to defend himself.
