“The Swamp Serpent?”
“This is a terrifying soul beast whose venom is no less potent than that of the Mandragora Serpent, and it prefers to inhabit the decaying swamps of the forest!”
When it came to his area of expertise, Yu Xiaogang forgot all about suppressing the toxicity and began to speak eloquently.
“According to existing records, this type of spirit beast is extremely rare, and its toxicity is also very unique!”
“Any Soul Master who is poisoned by the Swamp Venomous Serpent must disengage from the battle as soon as possible!”
“Otherwise, there will be very serious consequences!”
Yu Xiaogang became confident, and his words carried an air of dominance and authority.
“But my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, shouldn’t I be able to absorb the soul rings of plant-type soul beasts?”
Although Tang San had only been enrolled for a short time, he already understood some basic knowledge.
As far as he knew, allowing a martial soul to absorb a soul ring that was not suitable for it could cause conflict!
Upon hearing this, the master’s lips curled up slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence.
“This brings me to the theory of the ten core competencies of martial spirits that I have been researching!”
“One of them is called the Martial Soul Mimicry Theory. Plant Martial Souls do not necessarily have to absorb the Soul Rings of Plant Soul Beasts, and Beast Martial Souls are not necessarily unable to absorb Plant Soul Rings.”
“The two can absorb each other!”
At this point, Yu Xiaogang excitedly grabbed Tang San’s shoulders, “Xiao San, are you willing to give it a try?”
“Although I am absolutely confident in theory, to be honest, I have never done an experiment.”
“That’s why my theory of the ten core competencies of martial spirit is just a theory, not the truth!”
Tang San could see the fervor in his teacher’s eyes.
“Given the passion with which the teacher has dedicated his entire life to the research of martial spirits, this theory must be correct!”
Tang San felt reassured and nodded emphatically, saying, “Teacher, let me be the one to put your theories into practice!”
“but…”
Tang San suddenly hesitated for a moment.
“Teacher, since the Swamp Venomous Fang Python is as famous as the Datura Serpent, then its strength must also be…”
If the Swamp Serpent is like the Datura stramonium, then there’s no point in killing it.
“Ha ha ha ha…”
“You don’t need to worry about that, mistress.”
“Based on my professional research, the Swamp Serpent has never been known to be more than four hundred years old!”
“The swamp venomous pythons that you can normally see are about 100 years old, but the one in front of you is about 200 years old.”
“As for those over three hundred years old, they basically stay in their nests to sleep and molt, and do not go out casually.”
Yu Xiaogang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
As expected, Heaven still favored him!
They actually sent him such a rare soul beast.
“Yeah?”
Tang San frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.
Is this spirit beast mentally challenged?
“Teacher, why aren’t there any Swamp Venomous Fang Pythons that are over four hundred years old?”
“this…”
Yu Xiaogang was speechless for a moment.
The answer to this question wasn’t recorded in the Spirit Hall’s notes, so how could he possibly know?
“Perhaps these soul beasts have a limited lifespan!”
Yu Xiaogang gave a somewhat vague explanation.
Then, he changed the subject, saying, “Little San, my martial spirit Luo Sanpao has been severely damaged and I can’t use it right now.”
“Next, I will use my soul power to suppress this swamp venomous python. You need to seize the opportunity to kill it!”
“Yes, teacher!”
Tang San did not dwell on the issue any further.
Since he has chosen to respect his teacher’s research findings, he will not always question them!
As Yu Xiaogang released his last remaining soul power, the Rotten Swamp Poisonous Serpent was instantly suppressed.
“As expected of a terrifying soul beast whose venom rivals that of the Datura serpent!”
As soon as you get close to this soul beast, a stench of rotting flesh mixed with the sour smell of stinky socks hits you.
If the venom of the datura snake is imbued with a subtle tea fragrance, then the venom of the swamp python is the other extreme.
Tang San held his breath, held his short sword, and swiftly killed the two-hundred-year-old soul beast.
As a yellow spirit ring rose, Yu Xiaogang smiled!
My mission is finally complete!
The next moment, he could no longer suppress the toxins in his body, collapsed to the ground, and fell into a coma.
Tang San also activated his Mysterious Heaven Skill to absorb this century-old soul ring.
As the spirit ring landed on his Blue Silver Grass spirit in his right hand, Tang San felt a surge of magma-like energy flow into him.
“What domineering power!”
Tang San focused his mind and introspected.
What came into view was a swamp filled with rotting flesh and blood, with a lone blue silver grass standing in it.
As the swamp’s aura eroded the Blue Silver Grass, it began to change.
The pale blue leaves gradually decayed, and dark green patches covered the original patterns of the Blue Silver Grass.
Grotesque, terrifying, rotten!
The only thing missing was that tenacious life force!
In fact, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were unaware of this.
The reason why there have never been any swamp venomous pythons over 400 years old is entirely due to their inherent toxicity!
This toxicity has an extremely unique corrosive and corrosive effect, which even the swamp venomous python itself cannot withstand.
Swamp venomous pythons that are over three hundred years old do not molt in their nests, but rather because the poison has seeped into their bones, rendering them unable to move.
Unlike the venom of the Datura snake, the venom of the Swamp Serpent symbolizes death, which is completely at odds with the nature of life!
On the contrary, the potent poison contained in the spirit ring is constantly corrupting the life energy contained in the Blue Silver Grass.
Time slipped away quietly like that.
“Blue-silver entanglement!”
Upon opening his eyes, Tang San immediately unleashed his first soul skill, sending dozens of Blue Silver Grasses rapidly spreading outwards and instantly entangling a spotted cat sunbathing in the sun!
“Wait, how did my martial soul become like this?”
At this moment, the Blue Silver Grass has changed drastically.
Its appearance is rotten and hideous, its leaves are covered with ugly dark green patches, and its whole body is filled with the same sour and foul stench as the Swamp Venomous Fang Python!
Tang San grabbed the Blue Silver Grass in disbelief.
With a slight exertion of his right hand, the spotted cat let out a miserable scream.
From a resilience perspective, this spirit ring is fine.
However, Tang San’s expression gradually turned ugly.
Although Blue Silver Grass inherited the toughness of the Swamp Serpent, it did not inherit the toxicity of the swamp serpent at all!
It cannot be said that there was absolutely no inheritance.
The stench emitted by the Swamp Serpent was inherited; strictly speaking, that could also be considered a type of poison.
However, for an ordinary soul master or soul beast to be poisoned, they would have to hold onto Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass and absorb its essence for at least a whole day.
What kind of Soul Master in the world has such a heavy taste?
“And this resilience…”
Tang San tugged at the Blue Silver Grass in his hand.
Its resilience had increased, but it also suddenly felt fragile.
What was going on?
Desperate for an answer, Tang San looked at the lifeless Yu Xiaogang.
He had no choice but to save him first.
However, Tang San soon felt a chill run down his spine.
Because the illness has dragged on for too long, the toxicity has penetrated deep into the body.
Although it hasn’t reached the heart, it’s hard to say what will happen to the lower body.
…
at the same time.
Xu Yuan, who had cultivated in a secluded courtyard all night, successfully broke through to level thirteen in soul power.
“Judging by the time, Tang San and the others should be finished with their soul hunt by now!”
“The two returned too late purely because Yu Xiaogang was injured.”
“I have connections as a Soul Master to cover my tracks, so I can return to the academy ahead of schedule!”
Having made up his mind, Xu Yuan jumped out of bed.
Before that, he needs to go to the Spirit Hall for certification and receive his monthly Soul Master subsidy.
