"You're overthinking it. I'm human, without any soul beast components."

When soul beasts transform, they become human, merely possessing a hundred-thousand-year cultivation essence. Otherwise, the Blue Silver Emperor wouldn't have become just a single human.

Reproductive isolation still exists in this world in most cases. Moreover, self-identity is based on memory, not bloodline. Focusing solely on bloodline leads to narrow-mindedness.

"Don't deny it. You definitely have it!" Gu Yuena laughed softly, looking at Tang San with a more tender gaze. She then extended her small hand, "Now, take my hand and lead your queen to eat."

Tang San stared at Gu Yuena for a while before slowly saying, "I didn't realize you were so melodramatic."

"What does 'melodramatic' mean?" Gu Yuena asked, puzzled.

"It means cool."

"So, it means cool... Do you think I'm stupid?" Gu Yuena pouted, suddenly fuming. "Your eyes give it away! It's clearly a sarcastic term! How dare you treat your queen this way? I must teach you a lesson!"

With that, Gu Yuena bit Tang San's left hand.

"Hiss—"

Tang San shook his hand vigorously, causing Gu Yuena to dangle in mid-air. "Let go! Your teeth are getting sharper. It hurts!"

"Pop~"

Gu Yuena released her bite and was flung into the air. After doing two somersaults, she landed steadily, kneeling on one knee, and looked up at Tang San with a smug smile. "See? That's the price of mocking me!"

Tang San glanced at his rapidly healing wound, then at Gu Yuena kneeling on the ground. He couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't that superhero landing hurt your knee?"

Gu Yuena replied, "It actually doesn't hurt."

"I almost forgot, you're not an ordinary girl." Tang San facepalmed, walked over to pull her up, and invited Lan Yinzi to join them for a meal. He then asked Gu Yuena, "By the way, how does my blood taste?"

Gu Yuena paused, pretending to ponder. She licked her lips and said, "It tastes quite good, sweet and sour, very delicious."

Lemon juice? Tang San rolled his eyes, deep in thought. "Don't bite me again. I wonder if Xiao Wu has developed a vaccine for dragon madness."

What is a dragon madness vaccine? Gu Yuena didn't know, but she knew Tang San was being cheeky again. Hmph, a mere subject daring to disrespect his queen—once she conquered him, she would make him offer his blood daily!

Tang San, having mastered the Cosmic Meditation Method, Creation and Destruction Canon, and Jade Bone Golden Body Divine Treasury Method, had evolved further, gradually transcending humanity. His blood naturally contained special energy.

In Gu Yuena's perception, if she could consume his blood over a long period, she might grasp the power of the Dragon God without needing to devour the other half of the Dragon God.

Moreover, Gu Yuena sensed a faint stellar power within Tang San's blood, hinting that she might also grasp the laws of the stars in the future.

However, she hesitated about asking Tang San for a long-term blood supply. She sensed their fates were already somewhat entwined, and deepening this connection would make it hard to break, unless she completely destroyed this body and returned to her original form.

But for her original body, this was unacceptable. This avatar was formed from a part of her essence, and abandoning it would mean never recovering her full strength, making the dream of challenging the gods laughable.

....

In the dining hall, Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, Ning Rongrong, Huo Wu, and others had returned to the Soul Weapon Estate. Everyone was eating together and sharing insights from their work and research.

"By the way, I saw Yu Tianheng this afternoon," Huo Wu said. "He actually came to Spirit City two years ago. I thought he had been staying with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in secluded cultivation or out training somewhere."

Ning Rongrong was puzzled, "If he came here two years ago, why didn't he come to find us? We had no idea he was here. Was he on a honeymoon with Dugu Yan?"

"Yu Tianheng said that after he arrived in Spirit City, the Pope personally received him and assigned him a task with more than ten Soul Ancestor-level enforcers from Spirit Hall. It's been two years, and the task still isn't completed," Huo Wu explained. "Dugu Yan went with him too."

Yu Tianheng joining Spirit Hall as an individual definitely had the backing of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Spirit Hall wouldn't overlook this, and Tang San suspected that Bibi Dong also wanted to prevent Yu Tianheng from getting too close to him. That's why she assigned him a task, leaving them unaware that Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan had been here all along.

But considering the combined strength of Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and over a dozen Soul Ancestors, why hadn't they completed the task in over two years?

"What task is it?" Tang San asked with interest.

"Hunting down a team of fallen ones," Huo Wu said, rubbing her hands together. "According to Yu Tianheng, that team includes three Soul Kings, with the rest being Soul Ancestors."

Xiao Wu found it strange, "That doesn't sound too strong. Has Yu Tianheng become that weak over the past two years?"

Given the strength of Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, along with their self-created soul skills, defeating Soul Sages should not be an issue. How could three Soul Kings take them two years to deal with?

"At first, I thought the same, but after Yu Tianheng explained, I understood. Those three Soul Kings have a martial soul fusion skill. Though its power isn't great, its effects are bizarre. It can provoke resentment, greed, and hatred in people. Even those with strong mental power can be affected," Huo Wu said mysteriously. "Moreover, the main issue is that these three seem to be able to come back to life. According to Yu Tianheng, unless all three are killed simultaneously, they revive."

Ning Rongrong exclaimed, "Revive? Are they still human? Or is it a soul skill effect? Can a fusion skill of three Soul Kings be that strong? Even titled Douluos would be ashamed."

After all, even the Nine-Hearted Begonia, which specializes in healing, typically can't achieve resurrection.

"It's likely a soul skill," Tang San analyzed. "But it's not true 'resurrection.' The three Soul Kings are a facade. In reality, there should be only one, and that Soul King's skill creates long-lasting clones. My Blue Silver Emperor is an example. It's not surprising if a fallen one used some secret method to grant their martial soul and soul skill similar effects."

"However, if he can control three clones simultaneously, his multitasking ability might be even stronger than the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's highest level of split attention control: the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart."

Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement.

If Tang San's analysis was correct, the multitasking ability of that fallen one was indeed formidable. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's split attention control technique only helped direct disciples better use multiple soul ring skills at once. But that fallen one could actually use one mind to control three bodies!
