Chapter 147: Tang Shan's Idle Moves, the

Watching Ning Guang leave, Tang Shan fell into deep thought.

Ask the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to help collect Main Body Soul Master is just a side move; whether he exists or not is up to him. As he said, he doesn’t cultivate Body Martial Souls in Ping. Is the Soul Master his subordinate, or perhaps the one who transports the Main Body? It is more in line with Soul Master’s interests to join various factions.

He doesn’t want the Main Body The goal is not just to become a Soul Master, but to make the entire continent aware of the Dao. Every Body Martial Soul is a potential Soul Douluo or even a Titled Douluo. In this way, he, as the creator of Body Martial Souls in a certain sense, will surely become famous throughout the continent.

In this way, it is unknown whether faith can be strengthened, but it can also be used to pave the way for the future ” become a god”.

Of course, the reason it’s considered a secondary move is that Tang Shan already had better alternatives.

In this timeline, unless he is inexplicably “blessed with justice,” with his help and manipulation, the Angel Sister dressed in Holy Light will surely be able to sit firmly on the final throne.

At that point, she could simply issue a decree in the Heaven Dou Empire; the rewards would be far greater than if I painstakingly cultivated the Main Body myself. Soul Master gained fame much faster.

After all, with his “help in supporting Dragon,” getting Angel Sister to give him face would be a piece of cake, right?

Besides, Angel Sister’s Martial Soul is related to Deity, so wouldn’t it be the perfect research subject?

As for whether Angel Sister would be willing then, Tang Shan stroked his chin and thought, “Never mind, we’ll see when that time comes.”

Tang Shan may have underestimated the impact of his victory over Xu Siyue. At this moment, he had become famous throughout Heaven Dou Royal Academy. For a long time, the students were privately discussing the man who, as a Great Soul Master, had so powerfully defeated Spirit Ancestor. Xu Siyue’s new life.

Less than a month after enrolling, the name Tang Shan had already spread throughout Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, in Ning Fengzhi’s study.

“Father, that’s how it is.”

Ning Guang stood by the desk and recounted to Ning Fengzhi the entire process of Tang Shan challenging Xu Siyue.

Ning Fengzhi held a baby girl in his arms and gently rocked her.

Only after a servant came in and took the baby girl from his arms did he raise his head, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

” To challenge and defeat the Spirit Ancestor as a Great Soul Master —that’s terrifying strength. It’s a real shame I missed it last time I went to Sita City.”

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi couldn’t help but shake his head again.

“Father, Tang Shan asked us to help find the Main Body in advance.” Should we search for a Soul Master?

Ning Guang tentatively asked Dao.

“Help him look for it. I’m also curious about what’s so special about Body Martial Soul that it could produce such an outrageous monstrous talent like him.”

As for the secret techniques, he will pass them on to the Main Body later. We can still obtain a Soul Master, but what I’m more curious about is his purpose—why is he willing to help us cultivate our Main Body for free? Soul Master.

Ning Fengzhi closed his eyes slightly, lost in thought. After a long while, he spoke, reminding everyone, “Remember to get closer to Tang Shan to cultivate a relationship with him. It’s a pity that Rongrong is still too young. By the time Rongrong grows up, the age gap between them will be too large. Otherwise, wouldn’t a marriage alliance with such a monstrous talent be a great opportunity for our Sect to rise?”

Ning Guang’s lips twitched slightly. His younger sister had just been born and was almost arranged to leave by his father. However, he could understand: since she was born in the Big Clan, she had to bear some responsibilities.

“Alright, you can go back to school now. Oh, and remember to visit your mother; it’s been a long time, and she misses you.”

“Good father.”

Ning Guang bowed and withdrew.

Ning Fengzhi stood up and walked to the window. His study was located at the highest point of the core of the Sect, overlooking the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Gazing up at the surging sea of clouds in the distance, Ning Fengzhi’s eyes grew increasingly profound: “I have a feeling that the situation on the mainland has been a bit off in recent years. I hope I’m not just overthinking it.”

In the dense forest, a long, winding gray snake darted through the trees. It was no more than ten meters long, and its scales were a deathly leaden gray, devoid of any luster, as if carved from rotten rock. Most eerie of all, its head had no eyes, nose, or cheeks, only a gaping maw that stretched down to its lower jaw, filled with sharp, menacing teeth—a truly bizarre and chilling sight.

Wherever it went, it caused no ripples. If it weren’t for the drops of blackish-red blood and the snake’s tail after it crawled past, the hunters behind it would not have been able to continue the chase.

“This Faceless Snake is incredibly fast. If it weren’t for its elder protecting it, it would have been slapped to death long ago.”

Wearing a gray robe, with his messy, dark green hair hanging loosely, Dugu Bo stood on a tree branch, his face somewhat dark.

“Grandpa, why don’t you put me down and go after them yourself? That might be faster.”

Dugu Yan was placed on a tree branch by Dugu Bo, looking somewhat helpless.

Apart from her recent visit to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan has devoted herself entirely to Cultivate during this period.

Finally, she successfully broke through level 20 yesterday. Grandpa plans to take her to Sunset Forest first to see if there are any suitable snake-type Soul Beasts or Dragon- type bloodlines. If not, then we’ll go to Star Dou Great Forest.

Fortunately, not long after they entered, they found a suitable Soul Beast, a nine-hundred-year-old beast.

Snake-faced noodles.

Faceless Snake is a special snake-type Soul Beast with very strange abilities. Fortunately, it has no poison attribute, making it very suitable for Dugu Yan to absorb.

The two finally caught up with the target, only to realize they had chased the wrong one. A three- thousand-year-old Faceless Snake lured them away, allowing the smaller Faceless Snake, which was probably its offspring, to escape.

The main reason why a Thousand-Year Soul Beast could deceive Dugu Bo is related to the Faceless Snake’s ability.

Faceless Snakes have average physical abilities and do not carry any potent venom; all their hunting abilities rely on their Talent: Faceless Invisibility.

The so-called Faceless Invisibility is not invisibility in the traditional sense, but rather makes you subconsciously ignore its existence. Even if you see it, you just treat it as an ordinary sight.

This ability, seemingly heaven-defying, appears to have a psychological effect of invisibility or diminishing one’s presence. In reality, it is very easy to break. This invisibility ability can only hide oneself and cannot spread out to interfere with the environment. It is merely unobservable, not a direct distortion of one’s consciousness that makes it disappear from one’s memory.

Therefore, as long as you discover it at the beginning, follow its trail, and release a group attack where the trail disappears, you can easily force it out.

This is also the origin of the name Faceless Snake, not only because it has no face except for its mouth, but also because ordinary people really can’t see its true form.

Using his ” Faceless Invisibility ” ability, Dugu Bo finally managed to catch his opponent, only to discover after launching the attack, “Oh! Something seems wrong with the age limit.”

As a result, the Faceless Snake has become a puddle of pus, completely blending into the entire Sunset Forest.

After that, Dugu Bo had no choice but to turn back and follow another clue as to how Faceless Snake escaped.

“No, Sunset Forest is ultimately a large Soul Beast Forest settlement. I’m worried about leaving you here alone.”

Dugu Bo refused without hesitation.

“What about Grandpa? Maybe we should just get him a Soul Beast.”

Dugu Yan proposed another idea.

“You might not have another chance to encounter a Soul Beast of this quality, you know Dao…” Faceless Snake is already considered a top-tier Soul Beast simply because of its Faceless Invisibility ability. If it excelled in other areas, it might have been recognized as a Super Soul Beast. If we miss this opportunity, where else can we find such a suitable target?

Dugu Bo refused again.

“Alright, it’s a bit of a hassle, Yan Yan, come up here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Soul Ring, radiating a terrifying aura, suddenly rose from beneath Dugu Bo’s feet, glowing yellow, yellow, purple, purple…

Black, black, black, black, black—the nine rings alternated, radiating a suffocating pressure. In an instant, a dazzling emerald light shot into the sky.

As it rose, a terrifying aura spread like a tide, and wherever it passed, Soul Beasts within a radius of several miles let out mournful howls, fleeing for their lives. Those who couldn’t escape collapsed to the ground, as if afraid of being discovered by this emperor of poison.

The emerald light gradually faded, revealing a colossal serpent hundreds of feet long. Its body was thick, and its scales were a deep emerald green, reflecting an eerie luster. A pair of golden, vertical pupils gleamed with a chilling light. The horny protrusion on its head resembled a ferocious crown, and its forked tongue flickered with a deadly venom that sent shivers down the spines of all who heard of it.

” Yan Yan, come up here.”

The giant serpent spoke in a human voice, its sound like rolling thunder, and it was Dugu Bo’s voice that came from within.

Facing the giant serpent that Dugu Bo had transformed into, Dugu Yan was not only not afraid, but also a little curious. To be honest, this was the first time she had seen her grandfather use the Martial Soul Avatar, and also the first time she had seen the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.

They do have Jade Phosphor Serpents, but Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperors are so rare that they are rarely seen.

Leaping down from the tree branch, Dugu Bo raised its head and easily caught its granddaughter. Then, with a twist of its body, it stirred up a foul gust of wind and chased after the trail left by Faceless Snake at an astonishing speed.

Wherever the snake passed, vegetation withered and the land dried up.

After activating the Martial Soul Avatar, relying on instinctive body control, the speed of movement through the forest increased significantly. In less than a quarter of an hour, a clearing appeared before me, and the last traces disappeared.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo didn’t hesitate. It opened its mouth wide, and a jet of dark green poisonous mist spewed out like a waterfall. Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Wherever the poisonous fog passed, the air emitted a piercing corrosive sound, and billowing black smoke rose from the ground.

However, something strange happened.

The poisonous fog had enveloped the entire open space, yet nothing could be seen struggling, while the sound of flesh being corroded was clearly audible.

Dugu Bo’s eyes widened, his golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and his snake body twisted and turned as he scanned his surroundings. He could clearly sense that his prey was in this area, but no matter how he looked, all he could see was a patch of land corroded and pitted by the poisonous fog, and he couldn’t find a trace of the snake.

The feeling was extremely strange, as if his vision was being distorted and stripped away by an invisible hand, and the target was right in front of him, yet it was forcibly erased from his perception.

“Damn, this is so troublesome. If I wasn’t afraid of poisoning it to death, I wouldn’t have bothered with all this effort.”

Yan Yan, get your dagger ready. I reckon it will appear when its Soul Power is depleted, and it’ll likely be close to death anyway. I don’t want it to be poisoned.

“Okay, Grandpa.”

Dugu Yan obediently took out a long, serpentine dagger from the Soul Guidance Device and waited intently.

Just then, Dugu Bo’s pupils suddenly contracted—he saw it!

The appearance of Faceless Snake was like a hole being forcibly torn open in space, or like human vision being forcibly corrected.

A colossal mistake, absurd, twisted, and chilling to the bone.

“I found it! How come it was on that tree? I didn’t notice it at all before.”

It was a very strange feeling, which Dugu Bo couldn’t describe at all. It was like the disorienting feeling of having been searching for something and then suddenly discovering that it had been in your hands all along, giving you a twisted and uncomfortable feeling.
