Sunset Forest.
As the soul beast habitat within the Heaven Dou Empire for over ten thousand years, although not as vast as the Star Dou Forest, it is still a formidable dwelling for soul beasts. Even after ten thousand years, the population of soul beasts within remains significant.
Due to its proximity, soul masters from Heaven Dou City typically come here during their lower levels to obtain soul rings for convenience.
From ten-year to hundred-year, and even thousand-year and ten-thousand-year soul beasts can be found in Sunset Forest. Additionally, compared to Star Dou Forest, Sunset Forest is noticeably safer.
A faint rustling sound was made as a pair of shoes stepped on the withered leaves. A boy, who appeared to be about eight or nine years old, walked alone through the forest.
His eyes glowed faintly with a purple light, cautiously observing his surroundings.
This boy was Tang San. It had been over two years since his martial soul awakened, and his spirit power had just reached level twenty a few days ago. This time, he came to Sunset Forest to add a second soul ring to his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
As for his target, he had already decided during his last visit when he obtained his first soul ring.
"I hope that Ghost Vine hasn't been hunted yet."
As he followed the path from his memory, Tang San recalled the promise he made to Xiao Wu in his previous life — to only kill evil soul beasts or those that attacked him first. Even in this life, he intended to keep that promise.
During his last visit, he had stumbled upon an eight-hundred-year-old Ghost Vine, which was brutally oppressing and killing other soul beasts.
Such an evil soul beast was intolerable!
However, at that time, he had already killed another evil soul beast and obtained his first soul ring. Moreover, his first soul ring couldn't absorb such a high age limit, so, in line with the principle of mercy, he spared its life.
As a plant-type soul beast, Ghost Vine couldn't move much before reaching a certain cultivation level. Tang San didn't take long to find it again.
With his Purple Demon Eyes, he could clearly see that the number of soul beast skeletons around the Ghost Vine had significantly increased. His expression turned cold.
"So much senseless killing, it's doomed to die!"
As soon as he spoke, several hidden weapons appeared in his hands. Under the sunlight, these iron tools gleamed with a cold light. Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand, and several hidden weapons shot out.
With a flash of cold light, the hidden weapons silently embedded themselves into the Ghost Vine. As green liquid splattered from the wounds, the Ghost Vine became aware of Tang San's presence, instantly swinging several vines towards him.
Unfazed, Tang San swiftly retreated using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and at the same time, a yellow soul ring appeared at his feet and shone brightly.
Dozens of Blue Silver Grass strands emerged from Tang San's hands, spreading and flying towards the Ghost Vine like venomous snakes.
Though it looked like a simple entanglement, this time, the amount of Blue Silver Grass he could summon far exceeded his previous life. In his past life, with one soul ring, he could only summon ten strands at a time. But now, he could summon forty!
This significant improvement was due to his first soul ring no longer coming from the Mandala Snake, which had given him the 'Binding' ability. Instead, it came from a gecko-like soul beast, granting him the 'Multiplication' ability.
As for why he could still use the Binding skill without the Mandala Snake's soul ring, it was all thanks to his unparalleled intelligence.
In simple terms, with his experience using the Blue Silver Grass martial soul from his past life, he could even use the Binding skill without needing a soul ring!
What a terrifying feat!
It was equivalent to him turning a soul ring skill into his own self-created soul technique through sheer intellect!
Of course, despite this incredible achievement, Tang San felt no pride. As a reborn God King, this was only to be expected.
In his previous life, although his godhood was the Asura God and Sea God, behind the scenes, many gods referred to him as the God of Wisdom.
To possess such a title in the God Realm, one could only imagine the extent of his astonishing intelligence.
Although the Grandmaster had pointed out a clear path for his Blue Silver Grass martial soul in his past life, requiring him to follow it step by step, circumstances changed. Since he had already created his own Binding technique, his first soul ring didn't need to follow the same path.
After pondering for a while, he concluded that to maximize the benefits of his self-created Binding, the best approach would be to summon as many Blue Silver Grass strands as possible.
The more Blue Silver Grass he could summon, the more effective his Binding would be!
Just imagine, ten strands of Blue Silver Grass versus a hundred strands — would they be the same?
Thus, two years ago, when obtaining his first soul ring, he hunted down a soul beast known for its rapid multiplication, poisonous attributes, and inherent evil nature.
The result was as expected. After absorbing the soul ring, his first soul skill became Multiplication, and the Blue Silver Grass retained its toughness and venomous properties, essentially a high-end version of the Mandala Snake from his previous life.
Recalling the mocking gazes from the staff during his martial soul awakening, Tang San's eyes turned cold. Hidden weapons flew towards the Ghost Vine like a storm.
In this life, he would change the world's perception of the Blue Silver Grass as a useless martial soul!
