"Ahhh..."
As consciousness returned, the intense pain coursing through Tang San's body made him groan in agony.
With great difficulty, he managed to sit up, his face contorted in pain. Every part of his body hurt.
Once he was awake, he forced himself into a cross-legged position and began circulating the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Thanks to the unique properties of this technique, a cool sensation spread throughout his body, gradually alleviating the searing pain.
After about an hour, although Tang San's injuries were still far from healed, the pain was no longer unbearable.
Now, Tang San finally had the mental clarity to assess his current situation. He seemed to be hiding in a crevice within a cliff. Peering out from the crack, he could see an endless expanse of dense forest. He was still in Sunset Forest.
Tang San's mind was filled with confusion:
"What happened? I remember passing out. Those damned Spirit Hall bastards had pushed me to the brink, so how did I end up here?"
His expression shifted between doubt and suspicion. Tang San didn't believe that the Spirit Hall members would spare him and bring him here. That meant someone must have saved him.
Tang San grinned and said:
"It seems fate isn't done with me yet. Damn the Spirit Hall! Once I grow stronger, I'll annihilate them all and turn them into my blood feast!"
"I managed to escape, but Father is in trouble. Even if he's the Haotian Douluo, facing four Title Douluos, his chances of survival are slim. What a pity, all that rich blood energy on Father..."
"This place isn't safe. The Spirit Hall's pursuit could come at any moment. I need to grow stronger quickly."
With this thought, Tang San summoned his mutated Blue Silver King. Using the thorns on the vines, he anchored them into the cliff face and slowly climbed down into the forest.
Now, Tang San was covered in injuries, though he had temporarily suppressed the pain. His first priority upon entering the forest was to slaughter low-level spirit beasts and consume their flesh and blood to heal his wounds.
In just half a day, Tang San had recovered about 70-80% of his strength. To grow stronger, he began hunting alone in the forest.
Using his mutated Blue Silver King and Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San successfully hunted a nearly 20,000-year-old Crimson Iron Python.
The Crimson Iron Python, though non-venomous, had an incredibly tough body. An adult Crimson Iron Python's body was as hard as steel.
Tang San then absorbed the Crimson Iron Python's spirit ring as the sixth spirit ring for his mutated Blue Silver King.
His spirit power also smoothly increased to level 61.
The memory of the Spirit Hall's pursuit was still fresh in his mind. To grow stronger quickly, Tang San finally made a decision...
He would cultivate his second martial soul!
He wandered through the forest, carefully selecting spirit beasts suitable for becoming spirit rings for his Clear Sky Hammer.
A 20,000-year-old Scale Beast, a 20,000-year-old Titan Ape, a 30,000-year-old Saber-Toothed Beast, a 30,000-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider, a 35,000-year-old Heavy Armor Beetle, and a 40,000-year-old Earth Bear King.
Over the course of a few days, Tang San continuously hunted and killed these ten-thousand-year spirit beasts, adding spirit rings to his Clear Sky Hammer.
When he successfully absorbed the Earth Bear King's spirit ring as the sixth spirit ring for his Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San's spirit power also rose to level 70.
In just a few days, Tang San had made such tremendous progress. He couldn't help but feel that his twin martial souls were truly one of the greatest talents on the continent.
However, he also discovered a problem. The spirit power from his two martial souls would occasionally clash, causing his spirit power to run wild and surge uncontrollably through his meridians.
In truth, Tang San was lucky. His Mysterious Heaven Technique helped him restrain the spirit power to some extent. Additionally, the mutated Blue Silver King bloodline he had awakened with the help of the Blue Silver King had also strengthened his body. Otherwise, he might have already exploded from the conflicting spirit power.
"Cough, cough..."
Another fit of violent coughing forced Tang San to sit down and circulate his technique, calming the chaotic spirit power in his meridians and guiding it back to its proper channels.
After a long while, Tang San opened his eyes, his expression dark. He said coldly:
"Again, it's happening again. The spirit power from the two martial souls can't coexist peacefully. Father said that according to Master's research, I need a 100,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone to enhance my physical body and accommodate the spirit power of both martial souls."
"But now, where am I supposed to find a 100,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone? Unless... Xiao Wu... No, absolutely not. She's my beloved sister. How could I take her spirit ring and spirit bone? Besides, I can't absorb them right now anyway."
"Now that I'm at level 70, as long as one of my martial souls absorbs a spirit ring, I can become a Soul Sage with twin martial souls. But if I try to absorb spirit rings for both martial souls at the same time, my body will definitely explode."
"I can only let one martial soul become a Soul Sage while keeping the other at six spirit rings. That's the only way my body can barely handle it. Which one should I choose? The mutated Blue Silver King or the Clear Sky Hammer..."
Tang San was torn. The Clear Sky Hammer would grant him greater strength, but if his mutated Blue Silver King had seven spirit rings, he would gain even stronger devouring abilities. It was a difficult decision.
As he pondered, Tang San continued to explore the forest. By chance, he encountered a 50,000-year-old Mandala Snake Emperor.
At that moment, Tang San made his decision. Using all his skills—his mutated Blue Silver King, Clear Sky Hammer, and hidden weapons—Tang San eventually managed to kill the 50,000-year-old Mandala Snake Emperor.
Then, Tang San summoned his mutated Blue Silver King and absorbed the 50,000-year-old Mandala Snake Emperor's spirit ring.
Tang San's mutated Blue Silver King wasn't an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, nor was it the Blue Silver Emperor with its ultimate life attribute. Instead, it was a mutated martial soul capable of devouring flesh and blood to grow stronger.
The 50,000-year-old Mandala Snake Emperor was an extremely ferocious spirit beast. Using its spirit ring to unlock the potential of his mutated Blue Silver King, though not a plant-type spirit beast, was still a decent match.
After successfully absorbing the spirit ring, Tang San's mutated Blue Silver King became even more sinister. Its aura, as if it were ready to devour anything alive, was enough to terrify any living being.
Tang San couldn't help but laugh:
"Haha, I'm now a level 71 Soul Sage! My martial soul's true form boosts my devouring ability by 100%. As long as I have enough blood feast, I'll quickly break through to level 80."
As he spoke, Tang San's eyes gleamed with a predatory light. In his eyes, there was no longer any distinction between humans and spirit beasts—only blood feast that he had consumed and blood feast that he hadn't yet consumed.
Standing up, Tang San began walking out of the forest:
"Unfortunately, Father never told me the location of the Clear Sky Sect. It seems I'll have to return to the Moon Pavilion and use Tang Yuehua to find the Clear Sky Sect. I'll inform them of Father's death and get them to reemerge. The more chaotic the continent becomes, the better. That way, there'll be more blood feast for me. Hehehe..."
