Douluo Continent: I have the Heaven-Piercing Tyrannosaurus Beast

Chapter 119 Tang 3's First Soul Skill

"Big brother, did you successfully absorb the spirit ring?" Tang San greeted Xiao Yan and Agumon as they walked out of the cave, his expression showing some joy. It seemed that the effect of Xiao San's fourth spirit skill should not be too bad.

"Well, absorbing the spirit ring took a bit of time, and then I also absorbed a spirit bone."

"Ah, big brother, that spirit-type soul beast actually dropped a soul bone!" Tang San exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it was the skull of that Purple Spirit Wolf. After absorbing it, it not only improved my mental strength, but also enhanced my fourth soul skill."

"So that ten-thousand-year-old soul beast inside is actually the Purple Spirit Wolf? No wonder." Tang San had naturally read about the Purple Spirit Wolf in the books. The books said that soul beasts like the Purple Spirit Wolf have extremely short limbs and are not good at walking, let alone running. Thinking about it this way, it makes sense that the Purple Spirit Wolf, which is not very fast, uses its mind to control other soul beasts to run errands.

However, unlike Tang San's joy at Xiao Yan obtaining a spirit ring, Dugu Bo looked at Xiao Yan with a serious expression and said earnestly, "Little monster, don't tell anyone outside that you have a spirit bone. I am a Title Douluo, so it's okay for me to show off my spirit bone and spirit bone skills. But if people know you have a spirit bone, they might try to kill you. Before you are strong enough, don't reveal that you possess these treasures. 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.' Fortunately, you are lucky to have a skull. Most spirit skills granted by skulls are mental, so even if you use them, others may not be able to tell that you used a spirit bone skill. But you must remember what I'm telling you."

"I know, old monster. Didn't you say it was someone else? Aren't you all on the same side?"

With a single sentence, Xiao Yan praised the two people present. Tang San nodded in agreement, while Dugu Bo turned his back, pretending not to look over, and coughed twice.

Xiao Yan had certainly considered Dugu Bo's points, but he knew both Tang San and Dugu Bo inside and out. No matter how bad their hearts were, they couldn't be that bad. So he naturally showed them everything without reservation.

"Big brother, what is your fourth soul skill? Even if you have a soul bone, I can guarantee that you might not be a match for my fourth soul skill."

"Little San, I knew you'd gotten a good soul skill, otherwise you wouldn't be so excited." Xiao Yan said, glancing at Dugu Bo beside him.

Dugu Bo turned his head to the side and muttered, "After absorbing the spirit ring, this kid was full of excitement. If he hadn't sensed your aura absorbing the spirit ring in the cave, he probably would have rushed in to fight that Purple Spirit Wolf with you. But this guy's fourth spirit skill is indeed very effective. I've tested it for you."

Xiao Yan nodded. From Dugu Bo's words, it was clear that Tang San had already used his fourth soul skill to fight him. A fourth soul skill that could be praised by the discerning Dugu Bo could not possibly be a useless soul skill.

"But big brother, it's a deal, you can't let Agumon breathe fire. After all, my spirit, Blue Silver Grass, no matter how vibrant and defensive it is, can't withstand your fire. Just attach your third spirit skill to Agumon and let him break through my defense. Anyway, my fourth spirit skill probably doesn't have much to do with fire, so feel free to use it." Tang San was quite insightful.

"No problem, I won't even need to have Agumon help this time." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile.

"You're too arrogant, brother. Without Agumon's Ultimate Flame, even without my fourth spirit skill, he'd still have to put in some effort to break through my defense. And now you're not even going to use Agumon? Are you going to use your fourth spirit ring on yourself and then fight me by yourself?"

Earlier, Tang San had asked Xiao Yan to fight him, on the condition that Agumon could not breathe fire. So, with the third soul skill empowering it, Agumon fought fiercely with the Blue Silver Grass covering the ground, resulting in a stalemate. However, as Tang San unleashed his second soul skill, even though Agumon had inexhaustible strength, it became somewhat exhausted. So, it simply stopped fighting and burned all the Blue Silver Grass in front of it. Poor Tang San was huddled in his own patch of Blue Silver Grass, leisurely waiting for Agumon to come over.

Unexpectedly, the other party ignited a fire directly at his face. Fortunately, this time only one eyebrow and a little hair on his head were burned, so he wasn't disfigured.

"Whether I can beat you or not, we'll find out after we try!" Xiao Yan said, his face beaming with excitement as he rubbed his hands together. His fourth soul skill consumed almost nothing of his energy, but it had a limitation: he could only use it a maximum of three times a day. Otherwise, even if he were to disintegrate after three minutes of fighting, he could immediately reconnect with the scan and re-equip himself for evolution.

Tang San didn't stand on ceremony and activated his spirit rings first. Four spirit rings lit up on his body, one yellow and three purple. Then, the Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground. It seemed to be a way to give Xiao Yan a hard time. Only one of the spirit rings grew out, as tall as a towering bamboo, reaching a height of two meters. It pierced out from Xiao Yan's feet, but fortunately, he dodged in time.

After dodging, Xiao Yan didn't rush to use his soul skill. Instead, he moved closer to observe Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass.

The Blue Silver Grass was now radiating a deep blue-green hue. After absorbing the Scaled Beast, the scales that were originally densely covering its surface like a tortoise shell had transformed into the scales of the Scaled Beast. Xiao Yan flicked it with his finger, and the sensation of the rebounding texture was like his finger hitting a cement floor.

"The hardness has increased so much?" Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised. Moreover, these Blue Silver Grasses seemed to have come alive. They were not hard all over, but the hardness of the parts that Xiao Yan touched was increased.

That's quite remarkable. If the entire body becomes as hard as that Scaled Beast, in Xiao Yan's eyes, it's not an improvement for Blue Silver Grass at all, but rather a weakening. The reason why Blue Silver Grass has strong vitality and defense is more due to the toughness of grass. If the entire body is equally hard, it's like a block of iron. Too much rigidity makes it easy to break, which would defeat its advantage of dissipating force.

"Of course." Tang San didn't exert any effort at this moment. To Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, it looked more like a child showing off his toys to his parents.

"However, if it's just an increase in defense on top of what it already is, you shouldn't be so happy, Xiao San. After all, with the added benefits of the Dark Green Divine Bamboo and the Green Seed Turtle, your Blue Silver Grass already has considerable defense. If absorbing the One-Eyed Scaled Beast only raises your defense to the next level, there's nothing to be happy about."

"Don't rush, big brother, I'll show you right away." Tang San said, and the fourth spirit ring in front of him had already floated onto the Blue Silver Grass in his right hand. As the two merged, Blue Silver Grass actually grew on Tang San's body.

Subsequently, these Blue Silver Grasses densely covered Tang San's body, quickly forming a suit of armor. The dense pattern on it was even more exaggerated than the scales on the Qilin Armor Beast.

"Oh? Blue Silver Armor?" Xiao Yan looked at the thing attached to Tang San's body and finally understood where his confidence came from. Although it was somewhat similar to his first soul skill, Blue Silver Grass, it was, after all, armor that grew and spread along with his body structure. Moreover, with the nourishment of Tang San's own life force, it could be said that this active armor could provide him with continuous defense. This was much better than simply being a target in one place. While providing defense, it also increased Tang San's mobility.

"That's not all, big brother. If you don't use your third soul skill for defense soon, you won't even have a chance to use your fourth soul skill." Tang San said confidently. Xiao Yan couldn't help but observe him again. It turned out that the armor spreading on his body showed no sign of stopping. After covering his entire body, leaving only his eyes, mouth and nose exposed, blue silver grass that looked like the claws of a scaled beast actually grew on Tang San's hands.

These blue silver grasses seemed to be twisted tightly together, intertwined with each other. Although the sharp claws gathered in his hands were formed from the delicate blue silver grass, Xiao Yan dared not question their sharpness and lethality.

Xiao Yan then solemnly revealed his four spirit rings: yellow, purple, purple, and black.

When Dugu Bo saw the fourth black spirit ring, even though he already knew that Xiao Yan had hunted a ten-thousand-year spirit beast, he still had some thoughts in his mind. What kind of talent does this little monster have? He is only fourteen years old, but he has already reached the cultivation level of a Soul Master. Moreover, this fourth spirit ring is actually ten thousand years old.

"Huh." Noticing something strange, Dugu Bo narrowed his emerald green eyes, which were like those of a venomous snake, and looked at Xiao Yan's fourth spirit ring. He wondered if he was seeing things, but he felt that Xiao Yan's ten-thousand-year spirit ring seemed a little different. Thinking of this, without interfering with the two little guys' spirit battle, Dugu Bo also summoned his own nine spirit rings. He looked at his several ten-thousand-year spirit rings, which all looked exactly the same, but Xiao Yan's one did have a strange sense of weight.

Dugu Bo repeatedly compared it with his ninth spirit ring, but after confirming that there was indeed something strange about it, he felt somewhat helpless.

"Could there be something fishy about the spirit rings bestowed upon spirit-type spirit beasts?"

In the arena, Agumon had already lay down on the Blue Silver Grass. Tang San had specially made a grass bed for him with Blue Silver Grass, since his older brother had said that Agumon didn't need to do anything. He just flattered Agumon and let him lie down comfortably.

Seeing Tang San, who had already reached the complete form of his fourth soul skill, Xiao Yan finally attached his fourth soul ring to his palm. Instantly, apart from Agumon, the two people present focused their attention on him. Just like Agumon's expression when they first met him, neither Tang San nor Dugu Bo understood what Xiao Yan was up to.

Xiao Yan gripped the Tyrannosaurus Rex Machine from his waist. Tang San became serious and wary. Dugu Bo only knew that the machine seemed to emit a bright light every time Xiao Yan's martial soul changed form.

However, Tang San knew that his elder brother's martial soul evolution was entirely due to the Digimon Machine in his hand.

"Could Agumon evolve? But didn't Big Brother forbid Agumon from taking action?" At this point, there were hardly any humans left who had witnessed Xiao Yan's Greymon, so Tang San naturally didn't know that his older brother Xiao Yan's Agumon could evolve into a Greymon that was over ten meters tall.

Xiao Yan's actions then provided the answer to everyone present, especially Dugu Bo, who watched with great interest. He had always been very curious about what kind of soul skill the little monster's 40,000th year soul ring had brought him.

As the appearance of the Digivice in Xiao Yan's palm changed, he naturally scanned Agumon. Then, a dazzling light flashed, and Xiao Yan, or rather, Agnimon, emerged from the flames.

Seeing the Agni Beast, which was over two meters tall, Tang San quickly became cautious and prepared. He had originally planned to use the pair of scaled beast claws on his Blue Silver Armor to attack his elder brother, but for now, it was better to defend.

He quickly summoned the Blue Silver Grass in front of him, and together with the Blue Silver Sprouts on his head, Tang San unleashed his second soul skill without reservation.

"Not bad, Xiao San, your sense of smell is really sharp." Tang San had obviously noticed the terrifying aura emanating from him, so he instantly abandoned the idea of ​​showing off his attack and switched to defense.

On the other hand, Dugu Bo, who was watching from the sidelines, was now completely shocked. What kind of monster was this Xiao Yan? Why was Tang San's fourth soul skill just a set of Blue Silver Grass armor? You can't even wear armor, you've become less than human.

Moreover, Dugu Bo sensed the aura of flame emanating from Xiao Yan at that moment, a flame even purer than Xiao Yan's martial soul, Agumon.

Xiao Yan crouched down, then stood up and launched a flying kick at Tang San. Flames, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, coiled around his leg like a fiery dragon.

Xiao Yan spotted Tang San's position and unleashed a Fire Dragon Flying Kick at lightning speed.

The Blue Silver Grass, which had previously been able to withstand attacks of the same level and hinder the spread of flames, now seemed to have wilted, offering no resistance whatsoever, as Xiao Yan's flying kick drew ever closer to Tang San...

"Big brother, I give up!"

Tang San looked at the flying kick that was coming straight at him and hurriedly shouted, "What do you mean by comparing the fourth soul skill? This is nothing!"

The flames rushed straight at his face. Although the temperature of the flames seemed to be lower than that of Agumon, Tang San felt a different kind of oppressive force from them. It was the kind of fear that made his Blue Silver Grass involuntarily shrink back into the ground when it sensed his approach.

"Oh?"

Xiao Yan's flying kick had just broken through Tang San's layers of blue silver grass, and it was about to land on Tang San's armored face when he immediately braked and stood still. His raised right leg was less than 3cm away from Tang San's face.

At this moment, the blue-silver armor on Tang San's left cheek had been completely burned away by the flames that Xiao Yan's right leg had brought.
