Once again facing the Fire Attribute,
in less than half a minute, Tang San had swiftly completed a hat trick of defeats.
The same recipe, the same taste, almost no ability to fight back.
On the enormous octagonal arena, he looked utterly bewildered, staring blankly as the copy dissipated into countless points of light.
Then, a mechanical voice ruthlessly declared: "Challenge failed. Please note, the trial participant will leave Feixian City and return to the original world in five seconds."
"5!"
Hearing the vast voice above, Tang San felt a wave of indescribable bitterness surge in his heart.
The confusion over this inexplicable experience, the shock of all the strange things he'd witnessed, the unwillingness to leave empty-handed after entering a treasure trove, and the fear of certain things and information related to himself inside…
All of it erupted at once, a complex mix of emotions.
At that moment, a thunderclap of a shout suddenly exploded in his mind:
"You're simply a lump of mud that can't be plastered on a wall! You truly disappoint this one."
The voice came directly from the depths of his consciousness, incredibly vast and imposing. It was as if he were facing a wrathful, killing Buddha, and his entire soul trembled incessantly.
Tang San was just about to ask something when a long, golden token, resembling the tail feather of a bird, suddenly appeared before him, radiating brilliant golden light.
In the middle of the clear feather patterns, three ancient characters were engraved: Feixian Order.
Without giving him a chance to speak, the voice once again swept through his entire consciousness with overwhelming force.
"Keep everything that happened here locked away in your stomach. Don't reveal it to anyone, including the very existence of Feixian City."
"Otherwise, you will be annihilated, and you won't even have a chance to reincarnate after death."
The countdown had just reached one.
When he opened his eyes again, he had reappeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San sat up abruptly from the ground, holding that yellow feather in his hand.
However, the brilliant golden light was gone, and even the three characters of "Feixian Order" had disappeared, as if it were just an ordinary bird feather.
Also at the moment he sat up,
He suddenly saw a black shadow hurtling towards him from the distant woods, accompanied by a gust of wind, like a cannonball.
Nine soul rings – two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red – shone brilliantly. The terrifying pressure of Soul Power swept outwards, almost causing his brain to crash instantly.
The clock rewound to a few seconds ago.
Seeing the Shrek Seven Devils suddenly all fall to the ground, without even a hint of resistance, and then exiting their Martial Soul fusion states and losing consciousness, Tang Hao couldn't sit still any longer.
He immediately unleashed his full power, rushing from his hiding place.
This included three Soul Saint experts within the group.
To achieve this level of effect, the opponent's strength, even if not equal to his own, was not far off.
Landing on the ground, Tang Hao grabbed his son's shoulder, a surge of Soul Power sweeping across his body.
After finding nothing unusual, he asked, full of surprise and doubt: "Xiao San, are you alright? What just happened?"
Without waiting for Tang San to reply,
He raised his head again, his shout filled with Soul Power, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle down.
"Who goes there? Come out!"
"Dad?"
Ice-clear Jade was stunned, her mouth half-open, her expression one of utter astonishment.
Her eyes were filled with indescribable horror as she gazed at the figure beside her, a figure she knew so well.
His hair was disheveled, his beard unkempt, his clothes old, tattered, and stained with dirt. His sallow complexion was etched with the marks of time, making him look like a down-and-out peasant.
In the past, that's exactly what she thought he was.
However, at this moment, seeing the nine gleaming Soul Rings, and sensing the terrifying Soul Power pressure that surged outwards like a tsunami…
She was so shocked she couldn't even speak.
Dad was actually a Title Douluo, and a powerful one at that, a ninth-ring, hundred-thousand-year Title Douluo! This…
As Tang San woke up, Flender and the others also regained consciousness.
Seeing that a Title Douluo had suddenly appeared beside them, seemingly protecting them, they were all bewildered. After a moment of stunned silence, Tang San reacted.
He quickly grabbed Tang Hao's sleeve and said, "Dad, there's no one here, and we're fine."
"What exactly happened just now?"
Tang San carefully considered his words. "Dad, please believe me, it's not a bad thing, but I can't tell you just yet."
After calming Tang Hao down,
everyone took out tents from their soul tools and quickly set up a simple camp.
Ma Hongjun was starting a fire, and Shao Xin was preparing food.
Tang San, meanwhile, went into his tent and silently pondered the strange experience he'd just had.
He considered himself a clever person, adept at uncovering the truth from the slightest clues.
And the things he had witnessed just now were off in so many ways, even bordering on the bizarre.
First,
at least half an hour had passed inside, but outside, not even five seconds had elapsed. According to Tang Hao, they had barely passed out before waking up again.
Calculating the time dilation ratio, it was at least three hundred and fifty times.
Secondly, something had happened that even a ninety-six-ranked Soul Saint Title Douluo, a being with a tenth Soul Ring of one hundred thousand years, couldn't sense any aura of.
That being responsible for guiding them, what level of power did he actually possess?
Could he be above the hundredth rank?
Furthermore, when he probed subtly earlier, everyone, including Flender and the other three Soul Saints, didn't seem to remember anything that had happened inside.
They were still chattering and asking him about what he had seen, their faces full of surprise, and their expressions didn't seem fake.
This meant that either he had fallen into an illusion, and the others were merely fabricated illusions, or they hadn't passed the trial and their memories had been erased.
Tang San leaned towards the latter. He should have survived thanks to that final voice.
There was too much missing information; dwelling on these things was useless.
He secretly buried his doubts in his heart,
Tang San quickly began to contemplate the five opponents he had encountered during the trial, especially the soul skill combinations of the two Blue Silver Emperor Martial Souls.
He knew about Entangling, a divine skill for plant-type martial souls.
Given Nangong Lingyun's background, he still chose this skill for his first ring, which showed its preciousness and powerful might.
But using the principle of the five elements to generate each other, attaching a Fire Attribute Soul Ring to a plant Martial Soul... a similar combination seemed to be completely unheard of in Douluo?
His teacher had also said that when hunting for Soul Rings, one must choose those with matching attributes and abilities, so as to better develop and evolve the Martial Soul.
However, based on his experience in the battle, the power of wood generating fire seemed to surpass that of pure Fire Attribute?
This might be the true, powerful development direction for the Blue Silver Emperor.
As Tang San was thinking, Tang Hao walked in from outside.
After his identity was exposed, he didn't leave, but instead, openly joined the soul beast hunting team.
Seeing his father, a clear flash of joy appeared on Tang San's face.
"Dad, you came at the right time. I just wanted to ask you something.\n\nDo you know what the Blue Silver Emperor is?"
During the Feixian Trial, whether it was the test of his talent by that colored ball or the opponents with the same Martial Soul he was assigned to face later, they all referred to the Blue Silver Grass as the Blue Silver Emperor.
This was one of his many questions.
Hearing his son's question, Tang Hao was taken aback. After a moment of unnatural stiffness, he sat on the ground and said:
"I didn't want to tell you this so soon, but it seems you already know."
I know what?
Tang San looked bewildered.
