Star Dou Forest!
Tang San excitedly rushed into the forest, unable to contain his emotions at the thought of reuniting with Xiao Wu.
As he thought of Xiao Wu's every smile, her delicate face, her full chest, her slender waist, her round hips, and her long, straight legs, Tang San knew exactly what he truly desired.
Having not completed his studies at the Moon Pavilion, Tang San was not yet a hypocrite. However, after his drastic change in temperament in the Slaughter City, he had become a true villain.
Those who looked down on him would inevitably face his vengeance. For example, the two guards at the Moon Pavilion and the entire Clear Sky Clan had all suffered his cruel and ruthless retaliation.
The Star Dou Forest was fraught with danger, but Tang San was now an 80th-level Soul Sage. His second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, also had six soul rings, and he possessed the secret techniques of the Tang Sect. As a result, even high-level soul beasts with over 50,000 years of cultivation could not stop him.
After about half a day, Tang San successfully made his way to the core area of the Star Dou Forest. When he arrived near the Lake of Life, all he saw were the remains of the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, along with a group of soul beasts feasting on their carcasses.
Hidden in a tree, Tang San watched the scene with horror and muttered, "That's the Forest King, the Titan Giant Ape, and that creature that's part snake and part dragon—could it be the Forest Emperor, the Sky Blue Bull Python?"
"How is this possible? These are soul beasts with over 100,000 years of cultivation. How could they be reduced to mere remains? Who could have the power to kill them?"
"No! Xiao Wu! If even the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python are dead, could Xiao Wu also be…"
After observing for a while, Tang San noticed that only the bodies of the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were present, which slightly eased his worries.
"Damn it! Who could be so cruel as to kill soul beasts like the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape? They weren't evil soul beasts."
"Do soul beasts deserve to die? I don't know what's happened to Xiao Wu. There's no third 100,000-year soul beast corpse here, so maybe she was just captured."
At this moment, Tang San's gaze fell on the soul beasts feasting on the remains of the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. His eyes burned with murderous intent as he thought, "Daring to feast on the remains of the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape? You evil soul beasts have already earned your death."
With that, Tang San summoned his mutated Blue Silver King. The blood-red, eerie vines coiled around him, and beneath his feet, seven soul rings rose one after another—two yellow, two purple, and three black.
The blood-red vines swayed slightly, releasing tiny, nearly invisible spores that drifted silently through the air, landing on the bodies of the soul beasts. This was Tang San's second soul skill, Parasitic Spores, derived from the Ghost Vine.
After some time, the soul beasts were covered in parasitic spores, and Tang San finally made his move.
"Second Soul Skill, Parasite!"
The spores activated, draining the energy from the soul beasts and rapidly growing into blood-red vines that tightly bound them.
Seizing the opportunity, Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, darting forward like lightning. He activated his seventh soul skill, Blue Silver True Body, transforming his entire body into blood-red vines.
Like crimson pythons, the vines coiled around the soul beasts, their sharp thorns piercing through their bodies and draining their blood and energy.
"Roar!" "Roar!"
The soul beasts let out terrified and agonized howls, struggling desperately to break free from the blood-red vines.
However, Tang San had no intention of letting them escape. Layer after layer of blood-red vines coiled around them until the soul beasts were completely drained, leaving behind only tattered hides and piles of white bones.
At this moment, the blood-red vines twisted and reshaped themselves, reforming into Tang San's human body. His pale face was flushed with excitement, having thoroughly enjoyed the feast.
He coldly muttered, "All of you were evil soul beasts. Dying by my hand is a fitting end for you. Besides, I still need an eighth soul ring…"
After carefully selecting from the remains, Tang San chose a Deathweaver Spider Emperor with approximately 70,000 years of cultivation. Its black soul ring was deep and profound.
After setting up a poison barrier around the area, Tang San began absorbing the Deathweaver Spider Emperor's soul ring. After about a day, he successfully absorbed it.
Not only had Tang San broken through the bottleneck to become a Soul Douluo, but his soul power had also surged to level 84. The blood and energy he had drained from the soul beasts had also been fully refined, showcasing how much faster the cultivation of an evil soul master was compared to a regular one.
However, just as Tang San was feeling triumphant, a surge of blood energy rushed through him. The conflict between his two martial souls caused him excruciating pain.
"Cough… cough… cough…"
After a violent coughing fit, Tang San continuously circulated his Mysterious Heaven Technique to suppress the violent surge of soul power. He muttered bitterly, "Damn it! The conflict between my dual martial souls is becoming more intense as my strength increases. Where am I supposed to find a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone? The Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape have already been killed!"
"At this point, I have no choice but to return and seek Master's advice. After all, Master is the foremost theorist on the continent. He must have some other solution."
After a quick cleanup, Tang San set off once again, leaving the Star Dou Forest and heading back to Heaven Dou City.

Heaven Dou City!
Hidden beneath a thick black cloak, Tang San walked through the bustling streets, standing out like a sore thumb.
Following the route from his memory, he eventually arrived at the location of Shrek Academy. However, the Shrek Academy before him was vastly different from what he remembered.
In the past, Shrek Academy had inherited the foundation of Blue Tyrant Academy. Although it wasn't a top-tier advanced soul master academy, it had gained some renown in Heaven Dou City for its policy of widely accepting commoner soul masters.
Now, however, Shrek Academy had become eerily quiet and desolate due to Flender's extreme policies. He sought only genius students and elite education, completely deviating from the original purpose of Blue Tyrant Academy.
Why would truly talented students choose to attend a small academy like Shrek instead of the specialized Five Elemental Academies? During the last Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Academy Tournament, Shrek Academy's team had performed decently, but the team's shabby uniforms left everyone with the impression that it was a low-tier, unworthy institution.
Geniuses disdained enrolling, while commoners were turned away. This left Shrek Academy in an awkward predicament. In a way, this outcome wasn't entirely bad.
Otherwise, as in the original timeline, Shrek Academy would have evolved into a monopoly over the next ten thousand years. To enroll, students would need to reach level 15 before the age of 12 and obtain a recommendation letter from a city lord, further cutting off the hopes of commoners.
Compared to the monopolistic Shrek Academy, the Spirit Hall was like a breath of fresh air. It not only awakened the martial souls of commoners but also accepted talented commoners into its academy for training.
