Chapter 118: Grass and Staff

"I am sorry, Snake Woman - Chaotianxiang, of course I know this name."

Thinking of this, Gu You's stiff shoulders relaxed. According to the time calculation, Chao Tianxiang is now at least a level 50 Soul King, and more likely a level 60 Soul Emperor. No matter which one, he and Tang San can't compete with it now.

Since we can't win anyway, let's just lie down. Gu You said to Tang San with a relaxed expression: "Remember the combination I mentioned when I talked about the martial soul fusion skill? Originally it was the dragon and snake staffs, but now it is called the peerless dragon and snake couple."

When he heard the words "Peerless Dragon Snake", Tang San already remembered who the white-haired old woman in front of him was.

"The Dragon and Snake Queen of the Unrivaled Dragon and Snake?" Tang San was also greatly surprised. He never expected to meet people of this level in such a place.

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect that even these two juniors knew my name.”

Chao Tianxiang was very happy. She was not a Titled Douluo, and the last time she ventured into the mainland was about ten years ago. She thought her name would be slowly forgotten by the world, but she didn't expect that even two children who were about the same age as her granddaughter had heard of her.

Chao Tianxiang smiled broadly. She took out two apples from her soul guide and handed them to Gu You and Tang San respectively. "Oh, my friends in the soul master world think highly of me, so I was given the title of Snake Lady."

Feeling that Chao Tianxiang seemed very happy, Gu You immediately decided to continue to compliment her, "That soul master war back then shocked countless people. You and your husband, relying on the power of the martial soul fusion technique, with the cultivation of a soul ancestor and a soul lord, forcibly challenged the martial soul hall team with your own strength after all your teammates fell."

"Back then, all members of the Spirit Hall team had spirit power above level 45, and the captain was even at level 49, just one step away from becoming a Spirit King. But two of their members were knocked down."

Hearing that Gu You knew so much about her famous fight and even remembered her opponent, Chao Tianxiang was even happier. She smiled so hard that her teeth showed and said, "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning. I'm old now. The future belongs to you young people."

After looking at the size difference between Gu You and Tang San, Chao Tianxiang asked Gu You: "Are you here to help your brother get the spirit ring?"

Tang San fell into speechlessness again, "I'm so sorry that I'm in normal shape!" Tang San's silent cry resounded through the sky.

Gu You didn't care, after all, he wasn't the one who was considered the younger brother. He shook his head and said, "I did come to help him get the spirit ring, but we are the same age."

Gu You said seriously: "My name is Gu You, and his name is Tang San. We are not related by blood, but we are indeed brothers."

Although Chao Tianxiang didn't know exactly what happened to the two children in front of her, she could feel that their friendship was indestructible.

So she smiled and said, "Haha, it's my fault, mother-in-law."

She asked again, "Are you two the only ones coming here to hunt for spirit rings? You should be only 8 or 9 years old, about the same age as my granddaughter. Even if the danger of this Fragrance Garden is low, you can't just leave it alone like this."

At this moment, Gu You's mind began to think rapidly. Chao Tianxiang probably regarded them as a trap. Should he now expose their true cultivation levels?

The snake lady Chao Tianxiang is now either a Soul King or a Soul Emperor, while her husband, the Dragon Lord Meng Shu, is now either a Soul Sage or a Soul Douluo.

When the original novel mentioned the two people's martial soul fusion technique, it was described as: "An extremely domineering martial soul fusion technique. Unless you have the strength of a Titled Douluo, it is difficult to resist."

Although the newspapers now record that the last time the two fought was ten years ago, since Zhao Wuji said so in the original novel, it means that from now until five years later, the Peerless Dragon Snake couple will have a battle against a Soul Douluo or even a Titled Douluo, and they will win, or at least escape unscathed.

From the fact that their spirit rings both have two yellow and three purple, it can be seen that this couple at least does not have any powerful family, and they may not even have a stable team.

Meng Shu, the Dragon Lord with four soul rings, can lead the School of Exotic Beasts to fight against the Spirit Hall team, but his fifth soul ring is only a purple ring. Unless the soul beast with this purple soul ring is very suitable, it is impossible to choose purple instead of black.

Even Shrek's Zhao Wuji only has two yellow and two purple, the rest are black. The first ten thousand year soul ring is even a team-oriented configuration, used to target the gravity compression of agile attack soul masters.

Considering that the snake lady Chao Tianxiang also has three purple soul rings...the two soul masters who have martial soul fusion skills have three front soul rings. This is enough to prove that these two people may not be very good at managing interpersonal relationships.

In this case, if you choose not to reveal your cultivation level and go your separate ways tomorrow morning, both sides can live in peace and do what they need to do.

But if you choose to expose your cultivation level, there are three possibilities.

The first possibility is that everything will be peaceful, Chao Tianxiang will continue to be her kind old lady, and she may even help the two of them hunt for spirit rings. But this possibility is so low that it is almost non-existent.

The second possibility is to be killed. According to his age, Meng Yiran's most likely goal is to obtain a second spirit ring. In this case, he is a second-ring great spirit master, and Tang San is also a quasi-great spirit master, and he is younger, which proves that he is a top-level genius than Meng Yiran.

Then, it is possible that in order to reduce future opponents, they would leave the two of them in this forest.

But this possibility is even lower than the first one. First of all, the two of them have no grudge against Chao Tianxiang or Meng Yiran, and no matter what, they will not take action without any grudge.

Secondly, it can be seen from the original book that neither Meng Shu nor Chao Tianxiang are bloodthirsty people, and they basically will not use their power to oppress others.

After Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang reunited, they found that the human-faced demon spider had been killed by Tang San. When facing a group of Shrek students led by Zhao Wuji, he did not get angry and attack even though his soul beasts were robbed twice.

Some people might say that it was Tang Hao’s credit, as Tang Hao’s identity as a Titled Douluo frightened the two men, so they didn’t take action.

But first, no one knows whether Tang Hao is nearby, and he did not take action when his son was attacked by the Titan Ape, his classmates were kidnapped, or when he encountered the human-faced demon spider and was in danger. It is highly likely that Tang Hao is not nearby (from Meng Shu's perspective). As long as everyone who cannot be taken away is wiped out, no one will know what happened.

Second, Meng Shu could also let Tang San go, and use this incident and force suppression to exchange for a few geniuses without family backgrounds. With cultivation suppression and powerful martial soul fusion skills, Oscar could be exchanged. This would not anger Tang Hao, and his family would make a profit.

But he chose neither, which is enough to prove that he is qualified to be a good guy.

Unfortunately, this is a real world for Gu You, and he doesn't dare to bet on this possibility. So there is the third possibility, which is the biggest one. That is to be taken away and forced to join the Dragon Snake Family.

These were two masterless geniuses. As long as one of them could have something happen with his granddaughter Meng Yiran, it would be the greatest guarantee for the family inheritance.

The most important thing is that this is Douluo Continent, known as the "Love Continent". It would not be strange for Chao Tianxiang or Meng Shu to think this way about Gu You.

But Gu You, at least the current Gu You, does not want to join any force.

If he joined any force, whether it was the Sect Empire or the Spirit Hall, then with Gu You's sense of responsibility, he would definitely put the overall interests of the force above his own interests.

Judging from the ten minutes or so they spent together, Gu You thought that Chao Tianxiang might be a person who was easy to get along with, just as implied in the original novel.

"Next it may depend on my eloquence." Gu You thought silently.

He finally decided to speak out, after all, the worst case scenario wouldn't be life-threatening, and I bet you don't have any hand pits.

Moreover, with Xiao Wu's identity, Gu You was destined to not be able to choose to find a Title Douluo. After all, there might only be this one chance to get help second only to the Title Douluo level.

During the time that Gu You was thinking, the entire camp fell into silence.

Chao Tianxiang also realized at this time that she seemed to be asking the two "little fans" in front of her some questions that she shouldn't ask, so she didn't continue asking.

Meng Yiran didn't care what happened and ate his dry food with an indifferent look on his face.

As for Tang San, he believed 100% that Gu You would make the most suitable choice. So he didn't even look at Gu You, but just silently focused his attention on the two people in front of him.

"...I am now a second-ring great spirit master, and my brother Tang San is now also at level 20. This time I am here to help him obtain his second spirit ring."

Gu You's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran's heads, making their heads buzz.

Chao Tianxiang pointed at Gu You and said in a lost voice: "Are you a great soul master now?"

Then he pointed at Tang San: "Are you a quasi-great soul master?"

Meng Yiran didn't even bother to eat the dry food. He let it fall to the ground and said loudly with a tone of 20% shock, % suspicion of the two people and % doubt of himself: "Impossible! You look younger than me, how is it possible that you have reached level ?"

Tang San glanced at Meng Yiran whose iceberg had shattered, and focused his attention on Chao Tianxiang. He stretched out his right hand, and a blue silver grass and a circle of yellow spirit rings appeared in it.

"...It's actually true." Feeling the soul power fluctuations coming from Tang San, Chao Tianxiang was stunned. A child younger than her granddaughter actually reached level 20.

My granddaughter Meng Yiran has an innate level 8 soul power, so what is the innate soul power of the child in front of me? Innate level 9? Or the rare innate full soul power?

Meng Yiran also felt the soul power fluctuations coming from Tang San. She felt the soul power fluctuations that were no different from her own, plus the small blue silver grass. It was as if she was mocking her cultivation speed that was not as fast as a useless martial spirit.

Suddenly, he found that his cultivation talent, which he was proud of, was not as good as the useless spirit Blue Silver Grass. Meng Yiran, who was in an unstable state of mind, waved his hand, and a snake-headed cane about 1.5 meters long suddenly appeared. He was held in his right hand, and the yellow spirit ring flickered.

"Let me see if you have the combat power of level 20." Meng Yiran shouted, rushed towards Tang San, raised the snake-head crutch and smashed it straight down on Tang San's crown.

"Yi Ran, no." Chao Tianxiang shouted at Meng Yi Ran, but her body did not move. She also wanted to take this opportunity to test whether Tang San, who was recognized as a useless martial spirit, Blue Silver Grass, had enough fighting power.

Most importantly, Chao Tianxiang is confident that with her own strength, she can stop things before they become irreversible.

Meng Yiran's aura was very fierce, and Tang San commented on it: She was qualified to be at the top among her peers, and it could be seen that she worked hard in training.

But unfortunately, the current Meng Yiran is not as good as in the original novel. And this Tang San, because he often practices with Gu You and Xiao Wu, and with the help of Gu You to develop a series of self-created spirit skills, even if his physical fitness is not as good as when he was 12 years old, his combat power is much stronger than that in the original novel.

After all, in the original novel, Yu Xiaogang is not someone who is good at combat training, and Xiao Wu, who is at the same level, will not take the initiative to train. Those people in the Junior Soul Master Academy cannot improve Tang San's combat ability.

Tang San just turned his body to the side, avoiding Meng Yiran's "blow to the head" without even using the Ghost Shadow, and clenched his right fist, punching Meng Yiran in the stomach.

"Gu" Meng Yiran, who was hit in the abdomen, covered his stomach and took two steps back, sweeping the staff with one hand, trying to force Tang San back.

It’s a pity that Tang San has seen Gu You use this move many times. Gu You’s tail sweep is more powerful and more oppressive than this snake-head crutch.

Tang San ducked down and lay on the ground to avoid Meng Yiran's attack. As soon as the snake-headed cane swung past, Tang San immediately stood up and punched the same spot again.

After being punched again, Meng Yiran couldn't help but fall to the ground, losing his fighting posture.

No matter how talented he is, he is still just a child. He is not like Gu You and Tang San who are reincarnated and have enough willpower to force themselves to learn to fight seriously, nor is he like Xiao Wu who is simply a 100,000-year-old old man. He was hit by two Tang Sect punches and fell to the ground. He was strong enough.

But unfortunately, Meng Yiran didn't want to admit defeat. He even used his martial spirit, but ended up not being able to force out Tang San's martial spirit. This made Meng Yiran even more angry.

Meng Yiran quickly stood up, holding the snake staff in both hands in front of him, with a yellow soul ring shining.

The snake head on top of the snake-head crutch opened its mouth, and the tongue in the middle suddenly stretched out and shot towards Tang San.

Tang San's attention was very focused. If the battle with Gu You taught Tang San how to fight someone with much higher physical fitness than him, then the battle with Xiao Wu made Tang San clearly realize that as long as the battle was not over, he had to be prepared to deal with various situations at any time.

Xiao Wu knows how to act cute and act like a spoiled brat in battle (only works on Tang San, if it's Gu You she'll just punch him), and after suffering so many losses, Tang San isn't so easily fooled (occasionally though).

There was purple in his eyes, and with the help of the Purple Demon Pupil, Tang San could clearly see that the snake's tongue was as sharp as a blade, with a blue glow on it, and it was obviously highly poisonous.

Tang San turned his head to avoid the tongue blade, and the yellow spirit ring appeared and lit up.

Tang San was ready to fight with all his strength for the first time against someone other than Gu You and Xiao Wu.

This chapter is just my over-imagination. It is possible that the characters in the original novel simply gave up thinking. After all, I am not the original author, and the conclusion is just the explanation that my limited brain circuit can come up with. If you can accept it, accept it. If you can't accept it, I accept it. No monthly votes, just recommendation votes~~~

Chapter 119: Turning the Hand of Destiny Again (4000 in words)

This was Tang San's first time fighting alone. Before that they had only practiced sparring, and the only major battle he had fought in a team was against the Fallen.

After avoiding Meng Yiran's tongue blade, Tang San activated his first soul skill "Rooting", and vitality poured into his body, allowing Tang San to directly enter a state of "excess vitality".

"Huh?" Chao Tianxiang immediately felt the changes in Tang San's body, thinking, "Why is his blood and energy so strong all of a sudden? Is this the effect of his first spirit skill?"

In the state of "excessive vitality", the Tang Sect's unique skill, the Mysterious Jade Hand, was also strengthened. Tang San used his left hand, which was like white jade, to directly grab Meng Yiran's tongue blade.

Although the Black Jade Hand is not as lethal and defensive as the Iron Sand Palm of the Shaolin Temple, it is the most suitable move for the Tang Sect. The reason is that the most fundamental function of the Black Jade Hand is to prevent poison.

Corrosion, burns, paralysis, all these negative conditions will not affect the Xuan Yu Hand, and the poison will not poison the user due to contact.

Coupled with the inherent defensive power, as long as the poison fails to break through the Xuan Yu Hand and directly contact the blood, it will not poison people.

Tang San's jade-white hand grasped the tongue blade, but the sharp tongue blade failed to cut the strengthened black jade hand, and the venom on it failed to take effect.

Meng Yiran was stunned. This was the first time someone dared to take her tongue blade directly with their hands. All those who dared to take this move in the academy went to the school infirmary. At this moment, Meng Yiran regretted it. She just wanted to teach Tang San a lesson, not to destroy him.

"You..." Meng Yiran wanted to ask Tang San if he needed treatment, but Tang San didn't care at all what Meng Yiran was thinking. After grabbing the tongue blade, he pulled hard and pulled Meng Yiran towards him.

Meng Yiran was pulled back by this force and staggered, and couldn't say what he wanted to say. Noticing that Meng Yiran had lost his balance, Tang San seized the opportunity to launch the "Grass Knot" and tripped Meng Yiran to the ground.

Meng Yiran fell to the ground and his hand loosened. The snake staff disappeared instantly. Tang San's left hand was freed and he slapped his chest hard, "Senluo Wanxiang."

The densely packed blue silver grass grew wildly, and some of it was woven into a whip and wrapped around Meng Yiran's waist, neck, wrists, knees, elbows and other places where she could easily exert force, firmly fixing her to the ground. Then other blue silver grass was made into a pile of grass and pressed on her back.

"Senluo Wanxiang" is a self-created composite control soul skill. Different from the "Blue Silver Entanglement" in the original work, it is a multi-functional enhanced version developed with the assistance of Gu You.

By weaving the blue silver grass, the strength is increased in disguise. The weaved grass whip is more focused on binding the force position, while other ordinary blue silver grass wins by quantity. In theory, as long as the strength of the blue silver grass is high enough and the quantity is sufficient, and the position of the grass whip is changed in time, all life forms can be controlled.
