Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 138: Bloody Massacre

Not only had Xiao Wu, the 100,000-year spirit beast in human form who had grown up with Tang San, been taken away, but Tang San's pride and spirit had been crushed time and time again by Xiao Yu.

What's worse, Tang San's downfall had dragged the entire Shrek Academy down with him.

The teachers and students of Shrek Academy were supposed to be Tang San's important allies, but because of Xiao Yu, the academy's internal harmony had been shattered.

If he could go back to that moment years ago, Tang Hao wouldn't hesitate to kill Xiao Yu, even if it meant worsening his injuries.

After all, he had already been expelled from his sect and hunted by the Spirit Hall for so many years. What was adding Dugu Bo and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family to his list of enemies?

"Ah!!!"

As he thought this, Tang Hao gritted his teeth against the pain.

Sitting against the tree trunk, Tang Hao's hands gripped the bark so tightly that his fingers dug into the wood. It was clear just how much pain he was enduring.

Soon, as time passed, the intense pain in Tang Hao's body began to ease.

"Ugh!!"

Beneath the tree where Tang Hao was resting, Tang San spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Then, he slowly woke up.

Behind Tang San, Flender, who had been channeling soul power into him, looked pale.

To help Tang San stabilize the chaotic energy in his body, Flender had expended a great deal of effort.

"Tang San, how are you feeling?"

Flender stood up and looked at Tang San, who was also pale, with concern.

"Level 39, and my meridians are severely blocked due to the reversed soul power. It'll take some time to clear them."

Tang San said with a grim expression.

Hearing this, Flender felt his vision darken.

He was filled with despair.

This was bad, very bad. After absorbing a soul ring, Tang San's soul power had decreased instead of increasing.

"Although I'm at level 39, this is only temporary. As long as I continue absorbing life force and clear my blocked meridians, I can recover those two levels."

Tang San said.

"That's good. Tang San, this is the best outcome in an unfortunate situation."

"Dean Flender, what exactly happened earlier?"

Hearing Tang San's question, Flender briefly explained everything that had occurred.

When Tang San heard that Xiao Yu was once again the cause of his failed soul ring absorption and subsequent loss of strength, his face twisted with rage.

"Bastard, bastard, bastard!!!"

Tang San punched the tree beside him with all his might.

Deep red blood seeped from his fist.

"Xiao Yu, just you wait. I'll make sure to return all the humiliation you've given me during the Spirit Master Tournament!!"

"Tang San, do you plan to continue absorbing life force, or will you return to Shrek Academy?"

Flender asked.

"Let's stay a few more days. To recover quickly, I need to absorb more life force. Dean Flender, time is running out. Can you capture some 5,000-year spirit beasts for me?"

Hearing Tang San's request, Flender nodded and immediately transformed into his owl martial soul, flying off into the distance.

Although Flender's soul power was nearly depleted, capturing a 5,000-year poison-attribute spirit beast was still manageable.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Yu and the others began spreading rumors in the nearby towns about someone in the forest absorbing life force to cultivate.

Instantly, this method of rapidly increasing soul power by absorbing life force became a hot topic in the town.

The news of this cheat-like cultivation method began to spread far and wide. freewebnσvel.cøm

The day after the rumors started, the Spirit Hall branch stationed near the Star Dou Great Forest investigated the claims.

After confirming their accuracy, they immediately dispatched a team consisting of a Soul Douluo, several Soul Sages, and a few Soul Emperors to capture the culprit.

Cultivating by absorbing the life force of spirit beasts was no longer considered normal soul master behavior. Such individuals were labeled as evil soul masters.

With the Spirit Hall's intervention, many who had been curious about this cultivation method quickly abandoned the idea.

After all, the Spirit Hall's approach to dealing with evil soul masters was swift and merciless.

There was no room for explanations.

Once the Spirit Hall entered the Star Dou Great Forest, what followed was predictable.

They quickly found Tang San, who was in the process of absorbing the life force of a 5,000-year spirit beast.

Although Flender tried to argue that Tang San was merely absorbing a soul ring, the dried-up corpses of the spirit beasts around Tang San told a different story.

Thus, the Spirit Hall team immediately moved to arrest Flender and the evil soul master, Tang San.

At this moment, Tang Hao, who had only just begun to recover, intervened once again despite his injuries.

After killing the Spirit Hall team, Tang Hao went on a rampage, slaughtering all the nearby soul masters who had been watching the spectacle.

The fact that Tang San was cultivating by absorbing life force could not be revealed. If it were, Tang San would be forced to live a life on the run, just like Tang Hao.

He knew all too well that the Spirit Hall had zero tolerance for evil soul masters.

In an instant, the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest became the site of a horrific massacre.

If it hadn't been for the Soul Douluo from the Spirit Hall self-destructing to buy some time, allowing a few cautious individuals to escape, the death toll would have been even higher.

Even so, only a handful of people managed to survive Tang Hao's slaughter.

After the massacre, Tang Hao ordered Flender to take Tang San and leave immediately.

Before leaving, Tang San drained the remaining life force from the Soul Douluo and the Soul Sages.

Then, Flender carried him away.

After ensuring their escape, Tang Hao stormed the Spirit Hall branch and slaughtered everyone inside.
