Chapter 173 Tang Ya's Devouring
"By the way, how's Beibei?"
As if recalling memories from before she fell into a coma, Tang Ya looked anxious.
"Teacher Xiaoya, Beibei is doing well and has returned to the outer academy to prepare for the inner academy's assessment."
Tang Ya immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, I see. It's good that you're alright."
However, as the memories of what had happened before gradually became clearer in her mind, Tang Ya's expression gradually turned grim, and her small hands clenched tightly.
"What have I done...?"
Seeing Tang Ya's somewhat broken state, the three people present breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Tang Ya's mind had not been affected by the Dark Blue Silver Grass.
After all, he's someone Beibei likes; it would be troublesome if he completely degenerated into an evil spirit master.
"Teacher Xiaoya, don't be sad. The people you killed were all villains who had seized the Tang Clan's territory. No matter what methods you used, they deserved it."
Although, according to Huo Yuhao's values, the ringleaders of the Iron Blood Sect deserved their fates, while the other Iron Blood Sect disciples did not deserve to die, it was time not to provoke Tang Ya any further. Tang Ya had already completely fallen into becoming an evil soul master and began to devour the life force of living people because of her emotional breakdown.
Seemingly comforted by Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya's trembling lessened considerably, but she was still clearly immersed in self-blame.
Huo Yuhao sighed and didn't say anything more.
He's really not good at comforting people.
Moreover, it would be troublesome if he said the wrong thing and offended Tang Ya.
Mu En couldn't stand it any longer, so he cast a gentle light down, soothing Tang Ya's mental energy little by little. At the same time, Huo Yuhao also heard Mu En's voice transmission: "Kid, mental energy isn't just for fighting."
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, looking a bit bewildered.
When Huo Yuhao first transmigrated, he was quite interested in integrating the abilities of a Soul Master into his life. However, after getting used to the rhythm of a Soul Master's life, he actually forgot to develop other uses for his power.
"Tang Ya, can I see your martial soul...?"
Seeing that Tang Ya's emotions had stabilized a bit, Elder Yu quickly spoke up, but this drew disapproving looks from Mu En and Huo Yuhao.
They had finally managed to comfort Tang Ya, and now you're reopening old wounds?
Fortunately, the light released by Moon was really effective. Tang Ya smiled wryly and released her Blue Silver Grass.
Elder Yu also hurriedly went over to carefully observe the characteristics of Tang Ya's dark blue silver grass. However, before Elder Yu could observe it in detail, he received Huo Yuhao's request for mental sharing.
With the help of mental detection, Elder Yu and Huo Yuhao were able to see Tang Ya's current martial soul status more directly.
Compared to ordinary Blue Silver Grass, Tang Ya's Dark Blue Silver Grass has purplish-black patterns, and even the originally verdant Blue Silver Grass body has become a deep blue and profound. Under Huo Yuhao's mental detection, blood-red light occasionally flows in the middle of the purplish-black Blue Silver Grass.
Huo Yuhao knew that it was the blood and qi of the soul master that Tang Ya had absorbed through her devouring talent. Once the Blue Silver Grass was completely occupied by this blood and qi, Tang Ya would completely transform into an evil soul master without any reason.
Even Mu En couldn't remove the blood and qi that were fused with his martial soul.
"Tang Ya, try absorbing the life force of this plant."
As he spoke, Elder Yu took out a potted plant from his storage soul tool.
Tang Ya was stunned for a moment, then looked at Huo Yuhao with pleading eyes.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, indicating that Tang Ya should do as Elder Yu said.
Tang Ya then carefully manipulated the Blue Silver Grass to climb and twine around the plant. As the purplish-black light flickered slightly, the plant visibly turned yellow and withered, like withered grass that had been withered by the autumn wind.
Old Yu gently pinched the withered plant's leaves, but with a crack, the leaves shattered.
"Such terrifying devouring power, no wonder he was able to advance from Soul Venerable to Soul Master in just one year."
Upon hearing Elder Yu's words, Tang Ya clenched her fists tightly.
During her time training at Shrek Academy, she only absorbed a small amount of the plants' life force, at most making the plants look somewhat listless. This was the first time she had completely absorbed all the power of a plant.
"strangeness……"
Huo Yuhao, standing to the side, pinched his chin and looked at the Blue Silver Grass in Tang Ya's hand with some surprise.
If he wasn't mistaken, Tang Ya had completely absorbed all the power of that plant, yet the blood energy within Tang Ya's martial soul did not increase as a result.
After telling Mu En and Yu Lao about this discovery, the two were also amazed.
Why doesn't absorbing the life force of plants cause Tang Ya's martial soul to develop into an evil soul master?
Besides, Huo Yuhao was the first to sense something was wrong. He signaled Elder Yu to take out another plant and then took out a small drop of mercury from his soul tool. He used his mental power to control the drop of mercury and gently placed it at the root of the plant.
After the plant had completely absorbed the drop of mercury, Huo Yuhao signaled Tang Ya to continue consuming the plant, but not to swallow it.
Although Tang Ya didn't know what Huo Yuhao was thinking, she still did as he said.
Even Mu En, the little golden man, and Yu Lao looked at Huo Yuhao with suspicion, but Huo Yuhao did not explain. He simply observed Tang Ya's process of absorbing life force.
After seeing the result, Huo Yuhao immediately took out a small bottle of poison and sprinkled it on the roots of another plant, signaling Tang Ya to repeat the previous operation.
Even Tang Ya could taste the flavor at this point, actively controlling herself to absorb as much of the toxins in the plant as possible while absorbing the life force.
Eventually, the toxins in the plant were completely eliminated, and the plant withered.
However, Elder Yu and Huo Yuhao's eyes were shining.
Although this plant is about to die, it still retains a real portion of its vitality.
"Again!"
Without Huo Yuhao's command, everyone carried out the experiment in perfect harmony.
"It's a success!"
Looking at the listless plant in his hand, Moon released his light power, and the plant quickly regained its vitality, but the toxins inside the plant were completely removed.
Judging from the original plant, Tang Ya absorbed almost all the substances, leaving only the dried cell walls. In other words, Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass can devour all substances in a living organism.
Huo Yuhao immediately connected this to Tang Ya's previous behavior of mainly absorbing blood and qi, and guessed that Tang Ya could actually choose her targets to absorb to a certain extent.
So there were several more attempts. Unexpectedly, Tang Ya could actually take away the soul power, blood and qi from the target's body while absorbing life force, and even metal elements or toxins could be absorbed along the way!
Even Mu En was surprised by Tang Ya's talent for devouring. You know, when it comes to toxins that have invaded the body, other soul masters either use medicine to detoxify or rely on their powerful soul power to force them out of the body.
Vomiting toxic blood is the most common way for Soul Masters to detoxify.
