Tang San swiftly retreated without hesitation, his feet treading on the Ghost Shadow Steps. In the nick of time, he dodged Dai Mubai's attack. At the same time, the Blue Silver Grass martial soul he released also sprang into action. Circle after circle of blue-black colored thick vines spun out, surging towards Dai Mubai's body from all directions. As for Tang San himself, he seemed to have quietly disappeared into the vines.
Dai Mu Bai's evil eyes flashed with a sharp light, his entire body covered in surging soul power. With a swing of his hands, he swept away the vines that were rushing towards him one by one.
He had originally planned to cut off the thick vines formed by the Blue Silver Grass directly, but he was shocked to discover that these vines were extremely tough. With his Tiger Claw infused with 37 levels of Soul Power, he could only cut into half of the vines when swinging them open, and couldn't completely cut them off. And once the vines left the range of the Tiger Claw, they would quickly heal themselves.
A faint sweet tea fragrance wafted through the vines, which seemed to be endless and constantly surged from all sides. Despite Dai Mu Bai's increased power and speed under the effect of the Martial Soul, he couldn't break out of the range of the vines.
Is this Blue Silver Grass? Dài Mùbái was greatly shocked in his heart, he had never thought that Blue Silver Grass would be so formidable. His opponent had one less soul ring than himself, yet Blue Silver Grass could temporarily bind him. If they were equal in terms of soul rings, then the outcome of this battle would be far from certain.
Dai Mubai had never been a patient person, but his competitive spirit was exceptionally strong. A strong white light suddenly burst forth, and Dai Mubai's evil eyes suddenly turned white. The first of the three soul rings on his body suddenly shone brightly, forming a circle of white light that blocked out the surrounding vines, preventing them from getting close.
Immediately afterwards, the second soul ring on his body lit up again. A vast white light condensed instantly, accompanied by Dai Mubai's tiger roar, a ball of pure white light shot out from his mouth.
Dai Mubai's first two soul rings' skills were White Tiger Protection Barrier and White Tiger Light Wave, which were activated simultaneously at this moment, instantly displaying a terrifying power.
From the outside, Dai Mu Bai's body was already entwined by the massive vines, and just as Xiao Wu was about to catch her breath, suddenly, countless white lights burst out from the gaps in the vines, followed immediately by a deafening explosion.
The vines formed by Blue Silver Grass shattered instantly and scattered everywhere. A powerful shockwave swept through the Rose Hotel's hall, leaving it in shambles.
The martial soul and host are one entity. Tang San's face suddenly turned pale, and he took a step back before stabilizing his figure.
The white light gradually dissipated, revealing Dai Mubai's robust figure. The fragmented Blue Silver Grass also began to re-condense around Tang San, but the quantity was much less than before.
"Tang San, the Beast Soul Master's attack power will always be stronger than the Tool Soul Master. Your Blue Silver Grass is powerful beyond my expectations, but it still can't trap me."
Tang San smiled calmly and said, "That's not necessarily true." Suddenly, the second soul ring on Tang San's body lit up abruptly. Dai Mubai's body stiffened for a moment, and a layer of dense vines appeared on him without warning. As the light from Tang San's second soul ring burst out, it instantly grew and bound Dai Mubai's body tightly within.
The thorns on the wisteria vine were only an inch long, but as they continued to constrict, they brought a severe pain to Dai Mu Bai's entire body. At the same time, he found that his body was becoming numb.
Long before Tang San reached level twenty, Master had already thought of which soul beast he would capture for his second soul ring.
Tang San's second soul ring comes from a plant-type soul beast called Ghost Vine. The maximum age of the second soul ring is 764 years, and the Ghost Vine soul ring Tang San obtained has at least over 600 years of cultivation.
The Ghost Vine is an extremely terrifying plant-type soul beast, with a highly potent neurotoxin that can be released through its sharp thorns. Once infected, the toxin will spread rapidly until it liquefies into pus, which becomes fertilizer for the Ghost Vine. Moreover, what soul masters fear most about the Ghost Vine is its parasitic ability. When it attacks, it releases countless microscopic seeds that directly parasitize onto the enemy's body. As long as the Ghost Vine provides sufficient energy or these seeds absorb enough nutrients, they will grow on the host's body, and once the neurotoxin spreads, the effect will be the same.
To obtain this six-hundred-year-old Ghost Soul Ring, even the Dean of Noding Academy, that forty-two-ranked Soul Master, had to go all out, relying on his own martial soul which was restrictive against it, and with great difficulty managed to subdue it, allowing Tang San to complete the final blow.
After obtaining the Ghost Ring, Tang San's various attributes have greatly increased. The Blue Silver Grass has become even more resilient and its appearance has changed to be similar to that of the Ghost Vine, although its color and texture remain the same as before. His own toxins have also transformed into a neuro-paralytic agent, with greatly enhanced effects, such that even the scent released into the air can produce a certain effect.
The soul ring skill given by Ghost Douluo's soul ring to Tang San is Parasitism.
Through the infusion of soul power, the parasitic ability of Kui is even more effective than the original Kui itself. Under the infusion of soul power, the parasitic seeds will grow instantly and directly entwine, making it impossible to defend against. It can be said that this is an extremely sinister control skill.
The resilience of the Blue Silver Grass was evident from the fact that even Dai Mubai's White Tiger Blade at 37th rank couldn't completely cut it, and in the end, he underestimated Tang San and the Blue Silver Grass, so he fell into their trap.
Looking at the surprised light in Dai Mubai's eyes, Tang San said: "My Blue Silver Grass is poisonous. You should have already inhaled some before, and then you launched a powerful attack skill to break through my Blue Silver Grass entanglement. This must have accelerated the flow of blood and energy inside your body, making the toxin take effect faster. In this way, although you don't feel anything yourself, the surface of your skin has actually started to become numb, unable to detect the parasitic Blue Silver Grass seeds. So, you lost."
Dai Mubai looked at Tang San, his entire body now wrapped in Blue Silver Grass except for his head. His evil eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Good, good Blue Silver Grass. If I were like you, only having two rings, then I would have indeed lost. My body is already numb and it's very hard to struggle free from the Blue Silver Grass. But, after all, I have one more ring than you. It seems that I can only let you see the skill of my third soul ring."
The purple light halo flashed, the air around Dai Mu Bai's body became distorted, his evil eyes suddenly turned blood red, and then the blue silver grass wrapped around him suddenly expanded. In a deafening explosion, all the blue silver grass wrapped around him, including the parasitic blue silver grass seeds, were blown to smithereens.
Dai Mu Bai's body had undergone a second transformation.
Tang San took a deep breath of cool air, "Is this the skill of the thousand-year soul ring?"
