Gula grasped the key point, stroking the blue hat on his head: "Wait, Little San, you just said that you can treat without your soul power?"
Tang San, puzzled, nodded: "Yes, the Blue Silver Mantis Crown can maintain its existence for half an hour.
During that time, any soul power can be converted into life force, just in different proportions."
Tang Hao also realized something and asked urgently: "Are there range limitations for soul skills?"
Tang San closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then shook his head: "There are no range limitations.
As long as the Blue Silver Mantis Crown exists, it doesn't need a martial soul to maintain the connection; it can convert soul power on its own."
"I knew it."
Tang Hao's lips trembled involuntarily, excitedly thinking that once Tang San became a Title Douluo, he could single-handedly raise a fearless army.
As long as
his soul power wasn't exhausted, he could continue receiving treatment, and then revenge against the Spirit Hall would be within reach!
Gula pondered, "It feels a bit like a food-type spirit, the difference being that it doesn't require ingestion and can provide its own spirit power to heal itself."
Gula wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had a feeling that Tang San's extraordinary spirit skill was related to being "tamed" and recognized as a Pokémon.
"Whether a healing-type spirit skill is powerful or not depends on its healing efficiency.
Tang San's first spirit skill is currently a continuous healing spirit skill, which can be used to train the body and avoid overtraining, preventing muscle damage."
"Tang San, let's train together for the next two months!"
Gula gave a thumbs-up, revealing his gleaming white teeth, extending a warm invitation.
Tang San glanced at Tang Hao, and seeing that he didn't object, he nodded heavily, "Okay, Brother Gu, let's cultivate together and become powerful Soul Masters as soon as possible!"
"Okay."
Gula and Tang San clapped their hands to make a promise, and the boy's shadow stretched long in the sunlight, extending into the depths of the jungle.
Tang Hao watched with satisfaction as the two reached their agreement.
"Gula, you know a lot, so you should take better care of Xiao San from now on.
Xiao San, you also need to work hard in your cultivation and listen to Gula's advice.
"I will take good care of Xiao San," Gula nodded in assurance.
"I will, Dad," Tang San replied seriously.
"Hmm,"
Tang Hao nodded slightly. "Xiao Gu needs the Mighty Vajra Bear as his first soul ring.
We just heard a bear roar in the distance; let's go check it out."
Gula was taken aback; he hadn't heard a bear roar.
Then he realized that a Title Douluo's hearing, enhanced by soul power, was definitely stronger than his.
So the three of them headed deeper into the forest.
The dense canopy blocked out much of the sunlight, the air in the forest was cool, and a gentle breeze carried a faint scent of blood and the indistinct sounds of battle.
"Someone's there."
Gula slowed her pace and looked at Tang Hao with Tang San.
Tang Hao's expression remained unchanged as he continued walking forward: "Don't worry."
After walking about two hundred meters, leaving the forest, the view suddenly opened up to a low, gently sloping hill covered with various trees and weeds.
At the foot of the hill, five Soul Masters were confronting a Mighty Vajra Bear, with another Soul Master and a wounded bear-like Soul Beast lying nearby.
Gula lowered his voice: "The spirit beast on the ground is burly and strong, with rough fur. It's an Earth Barbarian Bear, an earth-attribute bear spirit beast, possibly the companion of the Mighty Vajra Bear."
"Those people killed the Earth Barbarian Bear to absorb its spirit ring, but then the Mighty Vajra Bear returned and directly killed the spirit master who absorbed the spirit ring."
Tang Hao was astonished.
Gula could deduce the whole story from the scene at a glance; no wonder he had his eye on this genius.
"Little San, Little Gula, today I'll teach you a lesson: for spirit beasts that have killed people, no matter the reason, you must never be lenient."
Tang Hao had no pity for spirit beasts and was afraid the two children wouldn't be able to accept it.
But his worries were completely unnecessary.
Tang San had killed just as many people in his previous life as he had; he had no reason to pity spirit beasts.
After Gula traveled through time, he prepared himself mentally and was no longer soft-hearted.
Moreover, although the Mighty Vajra Bear before him was avenging its companion, its claws were covered in blood, its face was ferocious, and its appearance was menacing, giving him no reason to soften his heart.
Seeing Tang Hao and his companions, the Soul Hunting Team leader revealed a look of joy.
Their strongest member was only a three-ring Soul Master; their client had been ambushed and killed, and all five of them were injured and severely depleted of their soul power.
Their strongest attacks couldn't penetrate the Mighty Vajra Bear's defenses; they could only rely on their teamwork and speed advantage to buy time.
They had been locked in a stalemate for a long time.
If this dragged on any longer, the Mighty Vajra Bear, with its greater endurance, would surely win, and they would all die here.
"Friends over there, lend us a hand, and the Gale Soul Hunting Team will reward you handsomely!"
"Stay where you are.
Tang Hao tossed out these words and stepped forward. No one saw how he moved, but he suddenly appeared beside the Thousand-Year Mighty Vajra Bear, raised his right hand, and delivered a powerful slap.
Thud!
The Mighty Vajra Bear crashed to the ground, its hard, iron-like fur seemingly nonexistent, accompanied by the sound of its spine breaking.
The Mighty Vajra Bear instantly lost its fighting ability, lying on the ground barely breathing, clearly on the verge of death.
"Leave the gold coins and storage soul tools, and get lost."
Tang Hao spoke calmly, demanding his fee.
The five people, having escaped death, watched as Tang Hao effortlessly and severely injured the Mighty Vajra Bear.
They dared not haggle, nor did they dare raise their heads.
They quickly pulled out their gold coins, placed them on the ground, and scrambled away towards the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.
He had originally planned to kill them to silence them if they dared to look up and see his face.
Now it seemed he would have to go back later; he couldn't leave any danger behind.
"Little Gu, come and absorb the soul ring. Remember what I said, don't force yourself.
Tang Hao turned and instructed Gula, showing no sign of the dangerous thoughts he harbored.
"I understand, Uncle Tang."
Gula took the dagger Tang San handed him, aimed it at the Mighty Vajra Bear's eye socket, and plunged it in heavily, twisting the dagger to destroy its brain.
The Mighty Vajra Bear's breathing stopped, ending its suffering.
A purple soul ring slowly condensed above the corpse.
Groudon sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating his Mysterious Heaven Technique.
Groudon's martial spirit appeared behind him, drawing the millennium soul ring to its surface.
