Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 72 Tang San Loses the Clear Sky Hammer

"..."

For a moment, Di Tian was speechless. So you really don't want to see me?

"Haha, Brother Di Tian, ​​just kidding. Is there anything else?" Lang Lei chuckled and asked.

"Our lord just transmitted a message saying that if the Silver Dragon King's martial soul needs to be attached with a soul ring, you can come here to find us."

Di Tian was both surprised and delighted that Lang Lei actually possessed the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul.

"real?"

"...Not now." Looking into Lang Lei's eyes, Di Tian gave his reply, "We'll have to wait a while longer."

"Then I'll thank you in advance," Lang Lei said, regardless of the other party's purpose, he was indeed the one who ultimately benefited. "But why do we need to wait a while?"

"From what I've heard, my lord, you... you probably don't care much about soul power levels anymore. So, we need to drain the life energy from that Ice Silkworm Soul Beast first, and then you can take the soul ring," Di Tian said calmly.

They had previously captured an Ice Silkworm with an age of over 900,000 years in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although its strength was very poor, its age was indeed real.

Through the Ice Silkworm, they also discovered that this weak soul beast did not actually have any so-called Heavenly Tribulation!

Not long ago, this soul beast broke through a million years and ran away again, hiding itself.

However, with the Lord's help earlier, the Ice Silkworm's concealment was useless, and they quickly located its position.

In his view, it is an honor for a soul beast to dedicate everything to its master. If his master asked him to become the soul ring of the person in front of him, he would not hesitate and would even feel extremely honored.

No, I care a lot!

After all, Soul Power Level is the only stable way for Lang Lei to get lottery chances now. The mission module has been quiet for some reason recently, which he guesses may be related to Elpita's recent drowsiness.

However, upon hearing the other party mention the Ice Silkworm, Lang Lei immediately realized that the other party must be referring to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

He became the first lucky one to become a million-year-old soul beast after the Great War of the Gods.

The opponent's several soul skills...

Lang Lei felt it was somewhat of a waste, but well, it was better than nothing.

Moreover, those are all mental skills, which brings him one step closer to becoming a well-rounded warrior.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Lang Lei waved his hand. "I'll find a way to fulfill my promise to the Golden Dragon King."

"Okay..." Di Tian seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Is there anything else?"

"Take good care of... Na'er."

"Haha, of course, let's go!"

-

"Wait a minute, isn't that Tang San?"

After flying for a while, Lang Lei spotted an unexpected person on the ground.

However, it doesn't seem particularly unexpected.

In the original story, at this point, Tang San mistakenly believed that Xiao Wu had been captured by the Titan Giant Ape, so he chased after her.

This time, it was because Xiao Wu had really been captured by Lang Lei, so it was to be expected that they would come after her.

"Is this... absorbing a spirit ring?" Lang Lei glanced at the corpse of the human-faced demon spider next to him and easily deduced the direction of the plot.

"Since we've already run into each other, it wouldn't feel right not to nerf them a bit~" Lang Lei chuckled.

"Brother Lang Lei's smile is so sinister."

"Forehead……"

With Lang Lei's strength, Tang San now...

It can be said that it poses no threat whatsoever. Even if it were allowed to develop normally, it would ultimately be nothing more than an ant to Lang Lei.

But...

In my previous life, when I watched Douluo Continent, this guy's various outrageous actions in different periods almost gave Lang Lei a stroke. It would be a real shame not to tease him in this life.

Furthermore, in Tang San's mind, he probably already knew how to die at this moment.

Let's go even further then!

"System, use the [Soul Deletion Card], target: Tang San. Delete target: Clear Sky Hammer."

"Ding, successful use."

The moment Lang Lei successfully used the [Soul Deletion Card], the Clear Sky Hammer Soul flew out of Tang San's body and shattered completely.

The shattered Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit turned into specks of light and gradually dissipated.

Meanwhile, Tang San, focused on absorbing the spirit ring, remained completely unaware.

"Alright, let's go." With that, Lang Lei carried little Gretchen away.

Li Huo, carrying Xiao Wu, and Xuan Bing, holding Na'er, followed closely behind.

Shortly after Lang Lei and his group left, a group from Shrek Academy also hurriedly arrived.

"We've found Tang San!"

Oscar, who was the first to spot Tang San, shouted loudly.

"Keep your voice down! The spirit beasts here are already very dangerous!" Zhao Wuji walked closer and slapped Oscar, who was shouting loudly.

"Oh, okay, Teacher Zhao." Oscar realized the danger of his actions and quickly admitted his mistake.

"Tang San has started absorbing spirit rings?" Zhao Wuji looked at Tang San sitting on the ground. "This kid is really carefree, just sitting there absorbing spirit rings without any protective measures. But this kid has good talent, he actually broke through level 30 before you."

Oscar also looked bitter; he still hadn't found a suitable soul beast.

Unlike the original story, the location where Lang Lei grabbed Xiao Wu and the direction he left were different from those of the Titan Giant Ape in the original work. This time, Tang San only absorbed a spirit ring that was a little over a thousand years old, and soon he withdrew from the state of absorbing the spirit ring.

Hmm, I didn't get the Eight Spider Lances...

Unbeknownst to him, Lang Lei had once again inadvertently weakened Tang San.

"Huh? Teacher Zhao?" As soon as Tang San opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Wuji, who looked disappointed in him.

"So you still remember I'm your teacher?" Zhao Wuji slapped Tang San on the head again. "The Star Dou Great Forest is so dangerous. Unless you're incredibly lucky, finding Lang Lei would be a miracle!"

"I……"

Tang San clenched his fists in resentment, his eyes surging with killing intent.

But he knew that even if he encountered Lang Lei, he could only "reason with him" because Lang Lei was stronger than him.

"What do you mean 'what do you mean'? Hurry up and leave the Star Dou Great Forest with everyone. We can talk about finding people after we leave the Star Dou Great Forest," Zhao Wuji said.

"Yes……"

Even if he was unwilling, Tang San had to admit that Zhao Wuji was right.

"Teacher Zhao... my spirit ring?" Oscar suddenly interjected.

"We're not going straight back to the academy." Zhao Wuji rolled his eyes at him. "Once we get to that gathering place for soul masters outside, I'll go with Tang San to gather information. You guys rest for a few days, and then we'll enter the Star Dou Great Forest."

Something's not right in the Star Dou Great Forest right now. Even the Titan Giant Ape has left the core area. If you run into any troublesome guys, I can't protect you.

The group nodded, agreeing to Zhao Wuji's course of action.

"What's going on?!" Just then, Tang San noticed the abnormality in his body. "My... my martial soul!"

Zhao Wuji and the others looked at Tang San with suspicion.

"No!!!"

Tang San suddenly roared to the sky, his voice mournful and desolate.
