Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

"Really? Swear it!"

Xiao Wu looked at him expectantly.

No matter what she became, he would still like her?

Heh...

"Really, I, Tang San, am willing to swear it!"

Tang San made a gesture of swearing and said, "No matter what Xiao Wu becomes, she'll always be my little sister. I, Tang San, will always protect her!"

"If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

After saying this, Tang San lowered his hand and said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, do you believe your brother now?"

"What happened back then was just a misunderstanding."

"Third Brother!"

Xiao Wu's eyes filled with tears, as if she were deeply moved, and she threw herself at Tang San.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth. The opportunity had come!

His eyes instantly turned purple. This was the Tang Sect's secret art, Purple Demon Eye!

His Purple Demon Eye had long reached the peak of the Mustard Seed realm. Now, watching Xiao Wu's actions was like analyzing them frame by frame.

Without any hesitation, Tang San swept his right hand over the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, and a Zhuge Divine Crossbow appeared in his hand.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Invincible Golden Body!"

"Xiao Wu!"

Xiao Wu's fourth soul ring suddenly flashed, and her whole body was enveloped in golden light. Under its effect, she turned into a golden Xiao Wu.

"???"

Just then, Tang San's crossbow bolt struck Xiao Wu.

"Ding... ding... ding..."

The corners of Xiao Wu's mouth curled up. She knew things wouldn't be that simple—Tang San really wanted to kill her!

Did he think she was still the same Xiao Wu from before?

Tang San was stunned. Xiao Wu... how could Xiao Wu activate a soul skill in advance?

This—Invincible Golden Body?

How could she have such a soul skill?

Invincible Golden Body was the strongest defense. Whether it was physical or elemental damage, nothing could harm her in the slightest, unless the upper limit of the skill was broken. Otherwise, during the time Invincible Golden Body was active, the user would not be harmed.

Xiao Wu's mother once thought the same, but she encountered Bibi Dong, who possessed "True" damage!

Eternal Creation could ignore all defense and inflicted damage along with deadly poison.

That's why, despite her mother's arsenal of life-saving skills, she still died.

Invincible Golden Body, Void, Teleportation…

A whole host of bug-level innate soul skills—if you can't win, you can at least run away, right?

But, she was too confident!

When Tang San and Xiao Wu parted, both were at rank thirty and hadn't obtained their third soul rings.

Neither really understood the other's soul skills.

In other words, neither knew the other's current abilities.

"Third Soul Skill: Teleportation!"

While Invincible Golden Body was still active, Xiao Wu immediately used Teleportation. In an instant, she appeared behind Tang San.

"Bang..."

She delivered a kick to the back of Tang San's head!

But who was Tang San? Though he was still injured and hadn't fully recovered, he was a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse!

At the most critical moment, he avoided the vital spot. Though he was still kicked in the head, he didn't feel the dizziness he had before.

The Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand almost instantly, and his body—sent flying backward—landed thanks to the hammer's weight.

"Xiao Wu, you deserve to die!"

"Tang San, why bother acting? Didn't you say you wouldn't hurt me?"

Xiao Wu smiled as she spoke.

Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock!

Purple, purple, purple, purple, black, white, white, white.

"???"

Wait, there was something odd about Tang San's soul rings!

Four thousand-year rings, one ten-thousand-year ring, three ten-year rings?

Most crucially, these three ten-year soul rings were in the positions of his sixth, seventh, and eighth rings.

This...

"Tang San, century-old soul beasts are rare, but you wouldn't actually absorb ten-year soul rings, right?"

Xiao Wu said speechlessly.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she continued, "Oh, right. Ever since the God King of Thunder changed the rules, you don't have to hunt soul beasts when breaking through. These... could it be Kong gave them to you?"

Tang San: "..."

Those soul rings did have something to do with Kong, but that wasn't the main reason.

If Kong hadn't blocked the heavenly tribulation above the Pope's Palace, he could never have ended up like this!

Damn Kong!

Soul rings had always been Tang San's greatest pain in life!

"Since it's been exposed, there's no need to pretend anymore. I'm tired!"

"Xiao Wu, fulfill my wish! Don't worry, I will definitely protect you from now on!"

"As long as I'm alive, your path will always be with me!"

"I'll help you become a god, help you reach heights you could never attain..."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu knew Tang San was hopeless.

"You're crazy!"

"Tang San, you're just a madman. Good thing Tang Hao got exposed, otherwise..."

"Hmph!"

Xiao Wu snorted coldly. So what if he was a Soul Douluo?

With Tang San's soul ring configuration, he was the most useless Soul Douluo ever.

A ten-year soul ring spirit avatar? She couldn't even imagine it. She'd lived for tens of thousands of years and had never seen such a thing.

The age and lifespan weren't the same. Just because Xiao Wu had a hundred-thousand-year ring didn't mean she'd lived a hundred thousand years.

But tens of thousands, she definitely had.

Tang San's left foot left the ground, both hands gripping the Clear Sky Hammer. Using his foot as the axis, he prepared to let Xiao Wu experience the Random Cloak Hammer Technique!

But as he spun half a circle, Xiao Wu instantly teleported to his left and kicked him straight in the head...

"???"

Interrupting his move ahead of time?

This Xiao Wu really didn't fight fair!

Tang San, hammer and all, was sent flying.

If he were at his peak, he wouldn't be afraid of a Soul Emperor like Xiao Wu. But now, wounded as he was, he couldn't bring out his true strength at all.

In midair, Tang San thought about running instead of killing Xiao Wu. He had to escape today and get his revenge later.

He withdrew the Clear Sky Hammer, and under Xiao Wu's confused gaze, Tang San summoned his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, leaving her even more speechless.

Two yellow, two purple, one black, three white...

"Blue Silver Bind!"

"Blue Silver Bind!"

"..."

He unleashed four consecutive Blue Silver Binds—his first, third, fourth, and fifth soul skills.

After casting Blue Silver Bind, Tang San turned and ran without looking back.

Xiao Wu had Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation. Unless he caught her off guard or was completely uninjured, it would be nearly impossible for him to kill her.

These Blue Silver Binds were just to slow her down a little.

After dodging the Blue Silver Binds, Xiao Wu twitched at the corner of her eye—Tang San actually ran away!

She was about to give chase, but then shook her head. Tang San's hidden weapons were impossible to guard against—what if there was a trap?

"Hmph, I'll go report this to the Federation. I don't believe we can't kill you!"

Xiao Wu snorted and began retreating carefully.

The Douluo Federation's upper ranks were all Saint Disciples of the Temple of Thunder. They would surely deal with a fallen one like Tang San!

"As for Kong..."

Da Ming and Er Ming might not have been killed by Kong.

But she would investigate it herself...
