Chapter 179 Jade Elder and Poison
Time passed second by second, and the surge of soul power emanating from Tang Ya gradually subsided. It was clear that Tang Ya's absorption of her fifth soul ring was nearing its end, and it was only a matter of time before she woke up.
Wang Dong, who had been watching the scene unfold, leaned over and whispered, "Speaking of which, why didn't Teacher Xiaoya inform Senior Brother Beibei about something as important as absorbing a spirit ring?"
Huo Yuhao explained in a low voice, "Our senior brother missed the inner court assessment because of his injury, and he's still taking the assessment right now."
Wang Dong suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I see."
Huo Yuhao asked with some curiosity, "I knew this while I was in seclusion, how come you didn't know while you were out running around every day?"
Wang Dong muttered, "It's because I haven't been paying much attention to the inner court assessment..."
Given Wang Dong's talent, the academy would always take the initiative to invite him to participate in any activities. Over time, Wang Dong stopped paying much attention to such matters.
Wang Dong suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, it seems like Senior Tang Ya has woken up!"
At this moment, the fluctuations in soul power completely dissipated, and Tang Ya's Dark Blue Silver Grass also disappeared. Tang Ya patted the dust off her bottom and jumped up excitedly.
From this moment on, Tang Ya is a Soul King, even higher than that guy Bei Bei!
"Senior Tang Ya, what is your fifth soul skill?"
Wang Dong was unaware of the academy's plans for Tang Ya's soul skills and was also curious about what soul skills Tang Ya could gain from absorbing the delicious mushrooms.
"Well..."
Tang Ya smiled gently and released her martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, which produced five soul rings: two yellow, two purple, and one black.
As Tang Ya's fifth spirit ring flashed, the originally emerald green seeds on the dark blue silver grass gradually turned black, becoming a deep green.
Tang Ya manipulated the Blue Silver Grass and flung it onto the grass, instantly slicing a patch of grass in half.
At the same time, grass seeds fell onto the grass and exploded, spreading toxins in the surrounding area and eroding the grass.
Tang Ya generously introduced her soul skill: "The effect of my fifth soul skill is to concentrate the toxins in my body into the grass seeds, and with each strike, the grass seeds will fall off and produce a slight explosion, spreading the toxins."
"Strange...why do I have so many toxins in my body?"
Tang Ya suddenly realized something. If she could understand that the toxins in the poisonous grass seeds were mixed with some of the blood and qi she had absorbed before, why were there also toxins produced by her fourth and first soul skills of Blue Silver Grass in the jujube grass seeds?
Suddenly, Elder Yu said, "Absorbing a poison-attribute spirit ring will cause some toxins to enter one's body. This is the reason why most poison-attribute spirit masters have short lifespans. Some poison-attribute spirit masters even absorb too many poison-attribute spirit rings, causing the toxins in their bodies to mix together and form mixed toxins, which directly backfire on the spirit master..."
"The soul power attribute of a soul beast is the same as its own attribute. When we absorb a soul beast's soul ring, the soul beast's soul power is also absorbed along with the soul ring. This part of the soul power enters our body directly without being filtered. Even if we refine it later, the toxins will still remain in the soul master's body. The same applies to other attributes. This is one of the reasons why absorbing a soul ring requires the soul beast and the soul master to be compatible."
"How could this be...?"
Tang Ya suddenly covered her mouth and said incredulously, "But our Tang Clan's ancestor, Blue Silver Grass, also absorbed a poison-attribute soul ring."
Tang San's ancestors were fine, so why are they worried about the poison in the spirit rings now that it's their turn...?
Old Yu sighed and said, "As far as I know, Tang San's ancestor only absorbed poison-attribute spirit rings for the first three spirit rings. From the fourth spirit ring onwards, he did not add any more poison-attribute spirit rings. Moreover, Tang San's ancestor had twin spirit souls, and his second spirit soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit soul on the continent. His physical qualities also far exceeded those of normal spirit masters, so he might not be afraid of this poison."
Haotian Hammer...
A glint flashed in Wang Dong's eyes.
She knows this person well.
Huo Yuhao thought to himself: How could that be? Tang San has a body tempered by ice and fire, making him immune to all poisons.
Elder Yu continued, "Regarding the problems encountered by poison-attribute soul masters, I published an article on the mainland fifty years ago, which also included a solution."
"Based on my experiments on hundreds of poison-attribute soul masters, the innate poison of a martial soul itself does not affect the soul master. As long as the poison-attribute soul beast absorbed is of the same species as one's own martial soul, there will be no backlash from the toxin. On the contrary, the older the toxin of the same species, the more toxic it will be. Other soul rings can focus on increasing the functionality of the martial soul."
"Although my article wasn't very well-known, it caused a sensation among poison-attribute soul masters. Almost every poison-attribute soul master should know about it. At that time, Shrek Academy even forced all poison-attribute soul masters in the academy to study my work. It only stopped after it became common knowledge among poison-attribute soul masters. I never thought that fifty years later, something like this would still happen..."
Upon hearing Elder Yu's words, Tang Ya pursed her lips slightly.
------
"My lord, Master Yu of Shrek Academy published an article stating that absorbing a poison-attribute spirit ring may cause the body to accumulate deadly toxins, which could even endanger a spirit master's life in severe cases. Shouldn't Xiaoya change her first spirit ring, even if it's a non-venomous snake-type spirit beast?"
"What do you, a mere woman, know! Would our ancestor Tang San ever harm us!"
"My husband..."
"My mind is made up, don't say anything more!"
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Suddenly recalling a conversation she had overheard while half-asleep, Tang Ya's expression gradually darkened.
If absorbing toxins is truly risky, then weren't the Tang Sect leaders who followed in the footsteps of their ancestor Tang San to the best of their ability a mistake?
Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed.
I rub!
I knew it! How did Meng Hongchen, that white-haired guy, manage to advance to the Title Douluo level unscathed in the original story? It turns out it was you, you old geezer, who caused all this trouble.
Moreover, upon closer examination, Meng Hongchen's soul skills are indeed as Elder Yu said: he only has one direct poison-attribute soul skill, while the other soul skills are mainly flashy and functional.
I've added everything—flash, substitute, poison amplification—but I only have one pure poison-attribute soul ring: Ice Toad Poison.
Judging from the names of the soul skills, the first soul skill, Ice Toad Poison, and the second soul skill, Ice Poison Ring (doubles the poison effect, purely supportive), are most likely derived from Zhu Qing Ice Toad. After all, soul skills that purely enhance attributes mostly come from soul beasts with strong bloodlines.
"Alright, now that the aftereffects of the toxins in Tang Ya's body have been resolved by the fifth spirit ring, let's not worry about it anymore."
Tang Ya no longer felt the joy of advancing to Soul King, and said with a stern face, "Yes, Elder Mu."
Old Yu chuckled and said, "Next, let's test the specific effects of the fifth soul skill. It's better to try out more soul skills that are mainly functional."
