Chapter 286: Yang Wudi Takes Action!
"Uncle Yang, congratulations!"
As soon as Yang Wudi recovered from his breakthrough, Tang San stepped forward to congratulate him.
The Tianshui Academy students in the carriage noticed that Yang Wudi had broken through to the Title Douluo realm, and their admiration for the strength of the Haotian Sect grew even stronger.
In most factions, the emergence of a single Title Douluo was already rare.
Only in ancient sects like the Haotian Sect and Spirit Hall could so many Title Douluos be continuously cultivated.
"Hahaha, it's all thanks to you, Xiao San," Yang Wudi laughed heartily. His breakthrough to Title Douluo was mainly due to the medicinal herbs Tang San had obtained for him from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Without them, he wouldn't have broken through to Title Douluo so quickly.
"Regardless, being able to break through to the Title Douluo realm is something few people on the continent can achieve, which speaks volumes about your talent." Tang San sensed Yang Wudi's aura, his eyes sparkling with admiration.
He had tested Yang Wudi's strength before.
Even at just level eighty-two, Yang Wudi could already contend with a Title Douluo.
Now that Yang Wudi had broken through to Title Douluo, his combat power must be extraordinary!
"Now that we're in the Extreme North, we can try to find a suitable ten-thousand-year soul beast for my next soul ring," Yang Wudi said enthusiastically.
He sought ultimate offense.
That's why his clan was known as the Clan of Destruction.
They pursued the most extreme attack power!
All of Yang Wudi's soul rings had attack attributes only!
This was why he could face a Title Douluo as a Soul Douluo.
"Soul ring?"
Hearing the words "soul ring," Tang San's eyes moved as he recalled the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm he had just let go.
He immediately told Yang Wudi what had happened.
Upon hearing that Tang San not only obtained the Xuan Ice Marrow but also encountered a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Yang Wudi's face changed: "A hundred-thousand-year soul beast in the Extreme North?"
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was not something one could just stumble upon.
But now they had encountered one here.
It was an opportunity beyond imagination!
"Xiao San, can you locate that hundred-thousand-year soul beast?" Yang Wudi's eyes shone with excitement, and he licked his lips.
As the leader of the Clan of Destruction, Yang Wudi had long wanted to test his strength against a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Now that such a target was right in front of him, how could he let it go?
Tang San saw through Yang Wudi's intention.
He wanted to hunt the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
However, Tang San had promised Oscar not to harm the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. If he went back on his word now, it would make him appear untrustworthy.
Yang Wudi noticed Tang San's hesitation and advised, "Xiao San, to achieve great things, one cannot be bound by small matters."
"Are you willing to abandon the chance for our Heaven Dou Empire to defeat the Spirit Empire for the sake of a soul beast?"
"Think about it. If you let that hundred-thousand-year soul beast go, will it help us fight the Spirit Empire?"
"Besides, you took its Xuan Ice Marrow. How can you be sure it doesn't hate you?"
"Instead of rigidly keeping promises, focus on becoming stronger."
"In this world, strength gives you a voice!"
"If not for the strength of our Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Empire would have conquered us long ago!"
Yang Wudi's passionate words made Tang San nod repeatedly.
Indeed.
Soul beasts and humans are ultimately not the same. Relying on them was not as good as relying on oneself.
At least Yang Wudi was a member of the Haotian Sect.
If Yang Wudi could obtain the soul ring and soul bone of that hundred-thousand-year soul beast, his power would greatly increase!
Thinking this, Tang San no longer hesitated.
"Alright, Uncle Yang, I'll take you there. However, I will keep my promise and not attack the hundred-thousand-year soul beast myself. Everything depends on you." Tang San decided that as long as he didn't personally attack, he wouldn't be breaking his promise to Oscar.
Yang Wudi was not angry at this but rather delighted, "Hahaha, great! I wanted to test the strength of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"
"Good!"
Tang San nodded and quickly began to use his spiritual power to locate the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Since he had encountered the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm before, he was very familiar with its aura.
Although the Extreme North is highly disruptive, Tang San, being an inheritor of a god, managed to lock onto the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's position with only a little effort.
"Uncle Yang, follow me!"
Tang San leapt forward, heading into the distance.
Yang Wudi, though not able to fly continuously like Tang San, could hover briefly in the air thanks to his semi-Title Douluo state.
The two of them quickly shot off like arrows, disappearing from the sight of the Tianshui Academy students.
Inside the carriage.
"Sister Bing'er, did you hear that? Tang San and Senior Yang are going to hunt a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast?!"
"There really is a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast!"
"I want to see it too."
The girls in the carriage chatted excitedly. Over the past few days, under the protection of Tang San and Yang Wudi, they seemed to have forgotten the dangers of the Extreme North, where any mistake could attract soul beasts from all around.
Without Tang San's protection, they might have long been discovered and become food for the soul beasts of the Extreme North.
Shui Bing'er, listening to their chatter, looked slightly pale and explained, "Alright, we were sent by the headmaster to help Tang San and Senior Yang, not to cause trouble for them."
"Moreover, we've been exhausting our original martial soul power to assist them these past few days. If a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast appeared now, we wouldn't even have a chance to resist."
"So we must stay here and wait for them to return."
Shui Bing'er's words poured cold water on the excitement of the Tianshui Academy students.
Some looked outside, realizing the biting cold wind over the snowy landscape and quickly tightened their clothes to ward off the cold.
"Who are you?!"
Just as Shui Bing'er and the others were about to rest, the old woman driving the carriage suddenly shouted.
The scream immediately drew the attention of everyone inside the carriage!
The next second, the Tianshui Academy students reflexively rushed out of the carriage, ready to fight.
However, they discovered that the person confronting the old woman was a young man about the same age as Tang San.
But his face was much more handsome than Tang San's.
"Who are you?!" the old woman glared at the young man.
Though he was young, being able to appear alone in the core of the Extreme North indicated his strength.
Moreover, the location they were in was carefully designed by Tang San, so it was nearly impossible for someone to find it easily.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just here to ask for directions." The young man stepped into the protective circle created by Tang San without any effect, much to the old woman's shock.
"You… you're a Title Douluo?!" the old woman exclaimed in horror!
She knew Tang San's level very well.
The youngest Title Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire!
The first person in history to inherit the power of two gods!
Who else but a Title Douluo could ignore his defenses?
"You are... Su Yun?!" The old woman was further stunned by Shui Bing'er's words from behind her!
Shui Bing'er had seen Su Yun before.
When Su Yun single-handedly defeated the Five Elemental Academies, Shui Bing'er had seen him.
At that time, Su Yun had almost effortlessly defeated Tianshui Academy!
As a result, Shui Bing'er had resolved to catch up with Su Yun.
But time had passed, and Su Yun had also become a Title Douluo!
"Su Yun?! The Holy Son of the Spirit Empire?!" the old woman subconsciously took two steps back, exclaiming in shock!
That was Su Yun!
The youngest Title Douluo in Douluo Continent history!
Stronger even than Tang San of the Heaven Dou Empire!
Why was he here?!
The old woman suddenly remembered they were with Tang San.
Her face changed.
Could it be that Su Yun was here to kill Tang San?
After all, they were from opposing factions…
Wait… weren't they also from the Heaven Dou Empire…
The old woman's face turned even paler.
"Well, it's Shui Bing'er."
Seeing someone he knew, Su Yun smiled lightly and said, "I was just looking for you to ask where Tang San went."
After receiving information about Tang San heading to the Extreme North, Su Yun had immediately set out from the Spirit Empire.
Although he received the news a few days late, he still managed to find them here.
However, the harsh environment of the Extreme North had exceeded his expectations.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time locating Shui Bing'er and the others.
"Don't try to deceive me."
Su Yun smiled at them, "If I want to find them, I can do so with a bit of time. I came to you to save time."
"And you can rest assured, I don't intend to kill Tang San or you right now."
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er immediately said, "They went to hunt a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast."
If Su Yun said so, it meant he wasn't lying.
Shui Bing'er trusted Su Yun on this point.
He would not go back on his word.
She quickly explained everything that had happened.
When Shui Bing'er mentioned the Xuan Ice Marrow, Su Yun's eyes lit up. He immediately rushed in the direction she pointed, disappearing from their sight.
…
Su Yun was well aware of Tang San's purpose for coming here.
He wanted to find something to counteract Dugu Bo's poison.
One of the most effective attributes against poison is ice.
Absolute ice, at extremely low temperatures, can resist most poisons!
Even a poison as strong as Dugu Bo's could be resisted.
Su Yun flew rapidly through the air, driven by his determination not only to obtain the Xuan Ice Marrow that Tang San had already secured but also to prevent Tang San from getting the soul ring and soul bone of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
The million-year soul beast, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Although it still had ten thousand years to reach the million-year mark, Su Yun did not want it to fall into Tang San's hands.
"I originally hoped that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would wait peacefully for Huo Yuhao's appearance, but it seems Tang San found it first," Su Yun muttered to himself.
Based on Shui Bing'er's explanation, he could confirm that Tang San had not only found Tianmeng Ice Silkworm but, due to Yang Wudi's breakthrough to Title Douluo, was now intent on hunting it.
Thus, he wanted to reach them quickly and stop them.
…
While Su Yun pursued Tang San and Yang Wudi ahead, Tang San and Yang Wudi were tracking Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
As for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm…
Upon sensing that familiar spiritual power locking onto it again, it immediately cursed.
"I knew humans were no good!凸(艹皿艹)!"
Although Tianmeng Ice Silkworm lacked combat power and was not very fast, this was relative.
At least within the Extreme North, its speed was decent.
However, as a naturally flightless creature, it was still much slower than the flying Tang San.
But it had no choice; it had to run!
"I mustn't be caught by that guy!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm knew very well the strength of Tang San.
The latter was already at Title Douluo level and had the potential to become a god.
Dealing with a soul beast like it, which had no combat power, would be as easy as killing a chicken.
Even if Tang San didn't want its soul ring, he might still want its soul bone!
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fled desperately and finally found the person it was looking for.
Oscar!
That's right!
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm knew it couldn't outrun Tang San, so it decided to use Oscar as a hostage to force Tang San to let it go.
"Brother Tianmeng, what are you doing here?!" Oscar was surprised to encounter Tianmeng Ice Silkworm again.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was about to explain when it suddenly sensed Tang San's aura approaching. It immediately put on a fierce expression and whispered, "No time to explain, help me!"
Oscar had barely processed what was happening when he sensed a familiar aura appear.
At the same time, he saw Tang San and Yang Wudi approaching.
He also noticed the unusual fluctuation in Yang Wudi's aura.
"Ninety-level soul power!"
Oscar's pupils contracted as he understood the meaning behind Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's sudden appearance and Tang San's arrival.
It was clear that Yang Wudi, having learned about Tianmeng Ice Silkworm from Tang San, wanted to obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone and had been chasing Brother Tianmeng.
"So it's here... Oscar!" Tang San exclaimed as he arrived, spotting Oscar again.
He was about to stop Yang Wudi from attacking.
However, he didn't expect the extremely excited Yang Wudi, upon sensing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's hundred-thousand-year aura, to completely ignore Oscar and immediately launch an attack!
Yang Wudi, like an arrow released from a bow, shot forward with his spear! (Chapter ends)
