Chapter 75: Ye Cheng's "Compensation"
"Damn it! Why is it chasing me?!"
Tang San cursed internally as he glanced behind him, seeing the Wind Baboon relentlessly pursuing him. What he didn't realize was that the reason this beast was chasing him was closely related to his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
Wind Baboons were omnivorous soul beasts, feeding on both meat and plants. This meant that even plant type soul beasts were part of their diet. Because of this, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor aura gave off an irresistible attraction to the beast. When faced with four potential targets, the Wind Baboon instinctively chose him.
Thus, a chase through the forest began.
Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to weave through the trees, trying to confuse his opponent, while simultaneously using Blue Silver Grass to create obstacles in an attempt to slow it down.
But against a ten thousand year Wind Baboon, his efforts were futile.
The Blue Silver Grass vines were effortlessly torn apart.
Finally, the Wind Baboon caught up, opening its massive mouth and spitting out multiple wind blades. Tang San was forced to roll across the ground multiple times, barely dodging them. But as a result, the Wind Baboon was already upon him, swinging a colossal fist down toward him!
Lying on the ground, Tang San could only watch as the giant fist descended toward him
In this life and death moment, his latent potential was awakened!
Suddenly
Blue Silver Grass erupted wildly from the ground, instantly entangling the Wind Baboon.
And these vines
Were far stronger and more resilient than before!
At the same time, an invisible force field spread outward
At this crucial moment, Tang San's Blue Silver Domain finally awakened!
Watching from the shadows, Ye Cheng was speechless.
Is this what they call a protagonist's plot armor?
He could already predict how things would unfold.
Most likely, Tang San would go into berserk mode, and through a series of unbelievable coincidences, he would miraculously turn the tables and kill the Wind Baboon.
But what frustrated Ye Cheng the most
Was that his Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's treasure seeking ability had already confirmed
This Wind Baboon contained a soul bone.
Or more accurately, it had the potential to form one.
Meaning, once it was killed, Tang San would likely obtain a ten thousand year soul bone.
There's no way this is just a coincidence.
Ye Cheng didn't believe it for a second.
At this point, Tang San's absurd luck made him seriously suspect that things like fate, protagonist's aura, or world correction forces actually existed.
Before Tang San's domain could expand further, Ye Cheng lost interest.
He decided to intervene directly.
His head soul bone ability activated
In an instant
A terrifying mental storm erupted!
Both Tang San and the Wind Baboon rolled their eyes back and fainted on the spot.
BOOM!
The massive Wind Baboon collapsed to the ground
But by sheer coincidence, it narrowly avoided crushing Tang San.
Ye Cheng emerged from the shadows, walking up to the unconscious Tang San.
Looking down at his motionless body, Ye Cheng knew that with just a light stomp, he could crush him to death.
But
He had no intention of killing him.
Something told him it wouldn't be that easy.
Even if he killed Tang San now, he might just reincarnate again, or possess someone else, and then Ye Cheng would have to deal with him all over again.
That would be a major headache.
"I can't kill you… but I can mess with you."
Ye Cheng smirked at the unconscious Tang San, then flipped his palm
He took out the Pig Beast Torso Bone he had acquired earlier.
Honestly, this soul bone was perfect for Tang San.
His teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was a notorious gasbag
So, wouldn't it be fitting if his disciple also had a fart based ability?
"Tang San, I feel a little bad for taking your soul bone, so here
"Let me compensate you with this one."
With mock sincerity, Ye Cheng pressed the Pig Beast Torso Bone against Tang San's body.
Although this soul bone was utter trash, it was still a soul bone.
And for a soul master, absorbing a soul bone was a natural instinct.
As soon as the Pig Beast Torso Bone made contact with Tang San, his body automatically accepted it
And began absorbing it into his torso…
A few moments later
Ye Cheng checked and confirmed that the soul bone had perfectly fused with Tang San.
At this point
It could never be removed again.
Perfect.
Tang San would be stuck with this soul bone for life.
Since it was a torso bone, unlike a limb, he couldn't just cut it off to remove it.
This meant
Tang San had effectively lost half his potential.
Even if he later received a divine inheritance, and his soul bones upgraded, what would happen?
Would his farts just become more powerful?
Satisfied, Ye Cheng turned toward the unconscious Wind Baboon.
Without hesitation, he slammed his palm down, instantly granting it a painless death.
Then, with mental power, he separated its flesh and bones
Successfully extracting a ten thousand year soul bone.
"A torso bone?!"
Ye Cheng was genuinely surprised.
Then, looking back at Tang San's unconscious body, he couldn't help but think
This guy's luck is actually insane.
At that moment
A rustling sound came from nearby.
Ye Cheng turned and saw a giant spider emerging from the bushes
Its main body was over 1.5 meters in diameter, with eight sharp, three meter long legs.
Its entire body was covered in sleek black armor, and its long legs pierced into the ground soundlessly a testament to their razor sharp edges.
But its most terrifying feature was its belly
Adorned with white patterns forming a ghastly human face.
This was a Man Faced Demon Spider.
However
It was severely injured.
Two of its eight glowing purple eyes had been smashed, its exoskeleton was cracked, and its body was barely holding together.
Ye Cheng looked at the half dead spider, then at the torso bone in his hand
His eyelid twitched.
He could already predict what would've happened if he hadn't interfered:
Tang San miraculously defeats the Wind Baboon and obtains a torso soul bone.The injured Man Faced Demon Spider stumbles onto the scene and gets easily killed.Tang San gains an external spirit bone the Eight Spider Lances.Since he's heavily injured, he fuses the torso soul bone first, but through some ridiculous coincidence, he accidentally absorbs the external spirit bone too.The two soul bones combine, creating an impossible hybrid with limitless growth potential.
What kind of absurd luck is that?!
"Good thing I got here first."
Muttering to himself, Ye Cheng raised his hand
And effortlessly crushed the Man Faced Demon Spider into a bloody pulp.
A purple soul ring rose from the remains.
Ignoring it
Ye Cheng used mental power to sift through the bloodied remains
And soon found a round, black external spirit bone.
This
Was Tang San's legendary Eight Spider Lances.
"Yeah… I'll be taking that."
