Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 300 Tang San Leaves the Unpleasant Gathering

Tang San's remarks infuriated Yu Xiaogang.

He felt he had no intention of aiding the enemy; he simply wanted to prove his abilities.

However, Tang San's attitude struck him as extremely excessive.

He didn't think his soul tool solution was as important as Tang San claimed.

In fact, he knew that most of his soul tool designs were derived through inductive reasoning.

Even without me, these design schemes would have been discovered by others sooner or later.

Therefore, he chose to publicly sell his research results, rather than letting others discover them and get there first.

Although soul tools do have many important uses, Tang San seems to have overestimated their importance.

He had clearly explained the functions of the soul tools he had designed and deduced, but he didn't see any significant value in them.

For him, the only thing these soul tool designs could offer was fame.

However, despite his dissatisfaction with Tang San's remarks, Yu Xiaogang also realized that his soul tool plan did indeed have some value.

This is actually closely related to the two people's perceptions.

Tang San previously worked as a guard at the Spirit Hall Academy and eavesdropped on some courses on soul tools. One of the lessons taught how to deduce higher-level soul tools from lower-level ones by observing the small details.

In that class, the teacher personally demonstrated the most basic fire soul tool to the students.

The first flame soul tool developed could only release a small flame, used for starting fires in the wild and cooking.

However, someone deduced the power of this soul tool, directly increasing its power tenfold.

And that's how the Soul Torch came to be.

However, the soul master who deduced the flame soul tool felt that this was not the limit, so he continued his deduction and research.

After a long period of trial and error, he successfully developed a new type of soul tool—the Blue Flame Soul Tool.

The flame temperature was several times higher than before, and the flame height could reach up to two meters, which already had a certain degree of lethality.

This Soul Master did not stop his research at this point, but continued his studies.

He continued his research and derivation of the Blue Flame Soul Tool, and eventually developed the Flame Jet Soul Tool.

Furthermore, multiple modes have been developed, one of which directly generates a 30-meter-high pillar of fire, and another is a continuous spray of fireballs.

A level 30 Soul Master, relying on this Soul Guidance Device, directly fought and killed a 20,000-year-old Soul Beast in the Sunset Forest.

The achievement of this soul tool attracted great attention and praise, and thus it quickly became famous.

During that period, more than 100,000 were sold.

This story has become a legend at the Spirit Hall Academy, inspiring many students to devote themselves to the research of soul tools and to continuously explore and deduce more advanced soul tools.

As time went on, more and more low-level soul tools were developed into higher-level versions.

These advanced soul tools not only have higher efficacy and stronger destructive power, but also save more soul power, allowing soul masters to use their soul power more effectively.

For example, the initial freezing soul tool could only freeze a small area, but after a genius in ice and snow researched and deduced, the icefall soul tool was born, which can freeze a very large area, and even freeze a waterfall.

The birth of this new soul tool has also greatly enhanced the power of the freezing soul tool.

The emergence of these advanced soul tools not only promoted the development of the Spirit Hall Academy, but also made a great contribution to the progress of human civilization.

These achievements have become the pride of the Spirit Hall Academy, inspiring more young spirit masters to devote themselves to the research of spirit tools.

Therefore, every soul tool has its potential value.

Tang San was deeply inspired after overhearing the lesson.

He could only lament that he lacked the talent of a Soul Master.

He understood his shortcomings in this area and therefore felt somewhat frustrated.

This is also why Tang San was angry; each of the 130 soul tools contained immense wisdom and effort.

He believed that if all these soul tools could be derived into higher-level versions, the Spirit Hall would gain unimaginable wealth.

In contrast, Yu Xiaogang's behavior made Tang San feel helpless and dissatisfied.

Although Yu Xiaogang can earn some profit by selling design plans, it is only a small amount of money compared to the Spirit Hall's sale of soul tools.

Soul tools require a significant investment of time and effort in design, manufacturing, and testing.

Once a high-quality soul tool is successfully manufactured, not only can it generate substantial sales revenue, but it can also gain a leading position in the market, further enhancing the reputation and status of the Spirit Hall.

He sold the design of the soul tool to the enemy for his own benefit, allowing the Spirit Hall to make a fortune. That's why Tang San said that Yu Xiaogang's actions were tantamount to aiding the enemy.

Yu Xiaogang had no idea about these things. He had been working in isolation and never considered that soul tools had these potential uses.

Tang San's roar instantly made the atmosphere of the gathering awkward.

At this moment, none of the five spoke, and Tang San began to explain the consequences of Yu Xiaogang's actions.

Yu Xiaogang did not quite agree with Tang San's remarks.

He disagreed with Tang San's claim that it was easy to deduce higher-quality soul tools.

Deducing a higher quality soul tool is by no means an easy task.

The examples Tang San cited were all special cases. Although they each had their own unique aspects, they could not represent the general situation of soul tool manufacturing.

The Spirit Hall Academy promotes these examples primarily to inspire students' interest in learning and researching Spirit Masters.

The reality is not like that. He has been studying the design of soul tools for some time now. Even summarizing and synthesizing the experience of his predecessors is already a difficult task.

Not to mention, on this basis, we can innovate and create new, higher-quality soul tools.

In his view, the process of making a soul tool is like a series of invisible problems that require constant attempts, failures, reflections, and more attempts.

The actual production of soul tools is far more complex than Tang San described.

As a result, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San argued more and more fiercely, but Tang San also had his own understanding, and neither of them could convince the other.

The two argued heatedly until the other three couldn't stand it anymore and stopped them, hoping they could calm down and look at the issue rationally.

Although the argument has temporarily stopped, the differences between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang still exist.

They both turned their heads to look to one side, clearly unwilling to admit the other's point of view.

"Alright, alright, didn't we have some important business to discuss at this gathering? What is it, Tang San? Just tell me!"

Dugu Yan, too lazy to watch them argue any longer, directly reminded Tang San to get down to business.

After hearing Dugu Yan's words, Tang San took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He told himself he had to calm down.

"Our forces in the far north were purged by the Empire and completely wiped out, so we haven't received any news from them."

His words carried a heavy tone, plunging the atmosphere into silence once again.

Yu Xiaogang was still angry about what had happened before and did not say anything.

His eyes were fixed on the ground, as if he were thinking about something.

Oscar was somewhat surprised, but he quickly regained his composure.

He has always been a calm person and can always react quickly to situations.

Ma Hongjun exclaimed in surprise, his expression showing extreme excitement.

Upon hearing this news, he was clearly very worried and panicked.

Dugu Yan had been looking at her hands. After hearing Tang San's words, she looked up at him, then looked down at her hands again.

She looked indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

Tang San saw all four of their reactions. Only Ma Hongjun's reaction was relatively normal; the reactions of the others were completely unexpected.

He couldn't help but feel confused and bewildered. Why were the people who were originally united against a common enemy now acting this way?

What exactly happened that made everyone so unfamiliar with each other?

At this moment, Tang San felt that the relationship between the group had become so unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He didn't know how to face all of this, nor how to handle this situation.

"Tang San, relax. You don't need to worry too much."

"Although the far north was our original base, times have changed, and only a small, insignificant population remains there."

"Haven't we sent most of our valuable believers to other cities?"

Oscar reached out and rubbed his temples, speaking gently.

"I understand, but the fact that the entire far north was reorganized so quietly was something I didn't expect."

"If I hadn't gone there this time, we might still be in the dark."

"Although it was the Empire that reorganized it, the Spirit Hall must have played a significant role in it."

Tang San clenched his fists, his eyes revealing deep anger.

"Actually, this isn't a big problem. The loss of the far north won't affect us much. It's a remote area with scarce resources, so frankly, it won't help us much."

"Moreover, the Food Association now has its own intelligence organization, we have enough manpower, and Dugu Yan will also join the military in the future."

"Even if we stop going underground in the future, we'll mainly focus on the performance of our high-end combat forces. Therefore, the far north won't really have much impact on us."

Oscar said rationally. He was the calmest person at the moment and instantly analyzed whether the far north would have any impact on them.

"But that's the culmination of our years of hard work!"

Tang San's eyes were a little red at this moment.

"So, what do you intend to do by calling us here now? Send people to the far north to retrieve what's lost?"

"I think it's completely unnecessary. The far north is a useless place with little strategic significance. Its loss will not have a significant impact on us. There's no need to waste manpower and resources."

"And even if you successfully reclaim the far north now, we might be exposed as a result."

"Instead of trying to reclaim a lost and useless territory, it's better to develop and expand the power we already have," Oscar said calmly.

Oscar spoke slowly, and everyone listened attentively to what he said.

After a moment's thought, the group agreed with Oscar's suggestion.

The small gathering came to an end, though some people still harbored resentment.

Tang San returned to his residence, looked up at the bright starry sky, and suddenly made a decision.

The next day, Tang San packed his things quickly and left Wuhun City.

When he reappeared, Tang San was already at the entrance of the Clear Sky Sect.

Because Tang San did not conceal his presence, the sentry quickly discovered him, and one of them immediately left to report to the authorities.

Tang San stood at the door without stepping in. The two disciples on guard at the door were newcomers. They didn't recognize Tang San, so they didn't let him in and told him to wait while someone went to inform them.

Soon, the elders of the Haotian Sect arrived.

They were also surprised to see Tang San return.

Back then, Tang San left without saying goodbye, and the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect searched for a long time but couldn't find a trace of him.

But now he's come back on his own.

When Tang San saw that all the elders had arrived, he no longer concealed his strength.

He directly unleashed the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit, and one spirit ring after another appeared on it.

Black black black black black black red red gold.

Ten spirit rings hovered around Tang San.

A tremendous pressure emanated from the area, causing all the elders and disciples watching to tremble under its influence.

Tang San didn't use too much force, otherwise they wouldn't even have a chance to stand up now.

"Elders, I have returned, and I have become a god. It is time for the Haotian Sect to rise again."

Tang San's purpose in returning this time is to subdue the Clear Sky Sect, since the Clear Sky Sect is the only force he can think of that is not afraid of the Spirit Hall.

We used to think that we were all one family, but later we were rejected by everyone.

However, this world is ultimately about strength. Tang San now wants to demonstrate his strength and directly suppress all his clansmen so that they will obediently follow his orders in the future.

Suppressed by Tang San's aura, the elders were somewhat resentful, but they had no choice but to bow their heads under the eaves. This is also the reason why the Clear Sky Sect has been able to exist in the world for so long.

Subduing the Clear Sky Sect was easy for Tang San, but getting them to truly work for him required some special methods.

Tang San took out several boxes of pills made from herbs that were over ten years old and told the elders about the uses of these medicines.

The Haotian Sect's spies outside had also learned about the pills; they were expensive and in short supply.

Often, the Spirit Hall game items are sold out as soon as they are released.

However, when Tang San returned, he brought back so many pills. If they were all used to enhance the strength of the family, it would definitely be a leap forward.

Therefore, when the elders saw the pills that Tang San took out, they were all extremely excited, as if they had forgotten that Tang San had previously suppressed them with his aura.

Moreover, Tang San said that he had become a god, which is a good thing for the entire Clear Sky Sect.

Therefore, they quickly accepted Tang San's return.
