Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 110 Tang Yuehua's Visit

"aunt?"

Tang San was surprised. He only had one aunt, who was Tang Yuehua, the master of Yuexuan in Tiandou City.

How did she find her way to Nottingham?

Could it be based on the name "Tang San"?

That's not right!

Tang Hao, after experiencing the Papal War, took her to Holy Soul Village. Tang Yuehua shouldn't know that he is Tang Hao's son.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities.

First, during this period, Tang Hao contacted Tang Yuehua and told her some information. Tang Yuehua followed the clues and found her way here.

Second, Tang Yuehua had never met Tang Hao, but she realized he was a talented person, so she began to search for information about him. In the end, Tang Hao found her and had no choice but to tell her the relevant information.

There are two possibilities, namely, the difference between "whether Tang Hao took the initiative" and "whether he did so."

Tang San got up and left the study with Xiao Wu, arriving at the living room on the first floor. There they met the woman who claimed to be his aunt. Just as Xiao Wu had said, she was dressed simply, but had fair skin and a beautiful face, and her elegant manner of serving tea made her seem anything but a commoner.

"You're claiming to be my aunt?"

Tang San didn't care much for uninvited guests, even if the person was indeed Tang Yuehua, who was related to him by blood.

"My arrival may seem abrupt to you." The woman stood up, looked at Tang San's face, and noticed that his features resembled those of her second brother's wife. A look of nostalgia appeared in her eyes. She then introduced herself, "My name is Tang Yuehua, I am Tang Hao's sister, and I am indeed your aunt."

Tang San had anticipated this, so he wasn't surprised. He waved his hand, signaling Xiao Wu to take Guang Ling to the courtyard to train first, then personally poured tea for Tang Yuehua and asked, "What evidence do you have?"

"Forehead······"

Tang Yuehua was a little anxious, then smiled and said, "You've suffered these past years, you must have been deceived by quite a few people, right? I can't produce any evidence, and besides my name, I can't tell you my identity, otherwise, you might be in danger."

"I'd be safer if you didn't come. You're the head of the Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City, Head Tang." Tang San didn't keep her in suspense any longer, revealing Tang Yuehua's true identity: "The younger sister of Haotian Douluo Tang Hao. My father, with whom I severed ties, was also named Tang Hao, and he was tall and imposing. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Tang Yuehua opened her mouth, then asked with surprise and uncertainty, "You know about Father's identity?"

"You should have read my theory, right?" Tang San asked.

"Yes."

Tang Yuehua nodded, wondering why Tang San asked that question.

"Then you should know that I'm good at analysis." Tang San poured himself a cup of tea and slowly sipped it. "Is it difficult to analyze that Tang Hao is the Haotian Douluo? Regardless of martial soul, among commoners, even blacksmiths, it's impossible for them to be that tall and strong."

"You're so clever, Xiao San. But don't blame your father; he was just thinking about your safety." Tang Yuehua said bitterly. "It's all the Spirit Hall's fault."

"Really? I think the Spirit Hall is pretty good, much better than those sects and the two great empires. They even give subsidies to commoner spirit masters," Tang San said casually.

"The money distributed by the Spirit Hall comes from the two great empires; the Spirit Hall itself does not engage in production," Tang Yuehua said, frowning as she criticized the Spirit Hall.

"How should I put it? If it weren't for the Spirit Hall, the two great empires wouldn't be giving money to commoner spirit masters. Although the two great empires get their money by exploiting those commoners who are born without spirit power, and the Spirit Hall is an indirect exploiter, at least it is used for the benefit of the people."

Tang San saw things more clearly. "But the two great empires... I haven't been to Star Luo, so I don't know the specifics, but within the Heaven Dou Empire, there are multiple kingdoms and duchies, and the city lords within these countries have autonomy. They can enact their own customized laws... You've probably heard about the outrageous things many nobles have done, haven't you?"

Do you think they would be willing to distribute money to ordinary Soul Masters?

Before Tang Yuehua could speak, Tang San answered first.

"Yes, but it will require commoner Soul Masters to be treated like slaves, becoming tools in their hands."

"And what about the Spirit Hall?"

At this point, Tang San paused, picked up his teacup, took another sip, and said, "At least it gives commoner soul masters some dignity; it's a subsidy, not charity."

Tang Yuehua was speechless, but still not wanting Tang San to have any goodwill towards the Spirit Hall, she decided to bring up his mother's matter: "Don't you want to know how your mother died?"

"How did he die?" Tang San's gaze was calm.

"Spirit Hall".

Tang Yuehua was a little scared by Tang San's calm reaction, but she still uttered those three words in a trembling voice.

"Who's in the Spirit Hall?"

"The former pope."

"Is the former pope dead?"

"He's dead."

"Then why are you bringing this up?"

Tang Yuehua was no longer calm and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you care at all about your mother's death? The Spirit Hall is your enemy!"

"Please don't make this a big deal, Master Tang." Tang San said indifferently, "First of all, I have never met my mother. For whatever reason, she did not raise me, that is a fact. I have no feelings for her, at most I feel grateful for her giving birth to me, so please don't use that to accuse me of wrongdoing."

"Secondly, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, is already dead. Since there are no direct enemies, there is no need to continue this feud. At most, we can settle accounts with those who followed Qian Xunji to cause trouble back then."

"The Spirit Hall is not an object of hatred for a commoner like me, nor do I have the right to hate it. I hope you will not impose the grudges of the Clear Sky Sect generation on me."

Tang Yuehua was shocked, not understanding how Tang San could say such a thing: "Even if you haven't awakened the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, half of your bloodline is still from the Clear Sky Sect!"

"I do not deny that, but if I give birth to someone but do not raise them, what direct relationship do I have with the Clear Sky Sect?" Tang San countered. "As far as I know, the Clear Sky Sect kicked out the four major single-attribute families back then. Without the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, they would not consider me a direct disciple."

"Just like you—"

"Rumor has it that your martial soul is the Ruyi Ring, which mutated from the Clear Sky Hammer. It possesses an innate domain called 'Noble,' but you can never break through to level nine in your lifetime... So, you went to the outside world and became the master of the Moon Pavilion, delivering intelligence, supplies, and money to the Clear Sky Sect. Did they ever say a word of thanks?"

"They probably think this is your contribution to the Haotian Sect."

"It's only because you're the sister of the current sect leader of the Haotian Sect that we show you some respect. If you were in a different position, you'd see how the people in the sect would treat you."

Tang Yuehua was shocked.

What shocked Tang San was not that he guessed the Haotian disciples' attitude towards her, but that he learned that he was secretly sending supplies and intelligence to the Haotian Sect.

Is that strange?

Tang San raised an eyebrow. "Your identity is known to everyone within these major powers, except perhaps to those who don't know what forces the Upper Three Sects are. Even the higher-ups are very familiar with it. I even suspect that they all know the route you take to send supplies to the Clear Sky Sect, but they just haven't interfered. You don't think they're all idiots, do you?"

"Or perhaps you've been spending too much time with the nobles of Tiandou, and your mind has become rigid?"

Tang Yuehua was stunned.

"The Spirit Hall also knows this, after all, the Spirit Hall has branches in every village under the jurisdiction of the two great empires across the entire continent, excluding those villages and towns built next to the major sects."

Tang San continued, saying that regardless of whether his analysis was true or false, it was undermining Tang Yuehua's confidence. "The Spirit Hall wants information, can you keep it from them? Not to mention that your Moon Pavilion is located in a bustling metropolis like Heaven Dou City, where anyone could be a spy."

"Since the Spirit Hall knew about this, why didn't they intervene?" Tang Yuehua asked. "Don't they want to destroy the Clear Sky Sect?"

"It's simple, we're afraid of a lose-lose situation," Tang San said. "The Spirit Hall has the ability to destroy the Clear Sky Sect, but it needs to consider other forces on the continent. Moreover, it's impossible for all of the Spirit Hall's Title Douluos to be mobilized."

In the original story, Poseidon, the High Priest of Seagod Island, and the seven Guardian Douluos only guard the land of divine inheritance. They are not allowed to go out or even leave Seagod Island under normal circumstances.

The shrine in the place where the guardian angels are passed down is most likely the same.

After all, based on the original work, the guardian Douluo of the Hall of Worship only went out during the final battle in the grand finale; at other times, they never went out.

As for Qian Daoliu, the High Priest of the Angel God, in the original work, apart from having a battle with Tang Chen and Poseidon before he truly took office as High Priest, he may have also traveled the continent together, but at other times, until the sacrifice to start the final angelic inheritance, he never left the Hall of Offering.

Without the elders of the Hall of Offerings taking action, it won't be easy for Bibi Dong to take over the Haotian Sect.

"Indeed, the Spirit Hall can't send out all its Title Douluos, otherwise the rear will be vulnerable." Tang Yuehua calmed down, and her gaze toward Tang San grew brighter and brighter. "Little San, why don't you come with me to Yuexuan? I can teach you noble etiquette."

"I'm not going."

Tang San immediately rejected the idea, "Nobles? What makes them noble? Is it because of etiquette? I've already been hypocritical and hypocritical enough; there's no need to put on any more pretense."

Tang Yuehua: "...You child, how can you talk about yourself like that?"

"If you're here to persuade me, then please leave. I have nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect, nor with Tang Hao. He has severed his father-son relationship with me." Tang San didn't want to say anything more, but only emphasized again that he was now completely alone in terms of blood ties. "Therefore, you are not my aunt, and I am just a commoner who has some knowledge of martial soul theory, and my talent is not worth mentioning."

"The other woman, I..."

"If you're worried about my life, there's no need to bother. I've already bought a small manor in Nottingham with my own money. Although a kind old man sold it to me at a cheap price, I'm not short of money."

Tang San looked at the soul card that Tang Yuehua took out from the storage soul tool at her waist and refused her kindness. "If you want to visit me, a master of martial soul theory, I welcome you. But if you want to use your seniority to pressure me, then please think twice before you act, because I am not a good person."

"·····"

To be honest, the Spirit Hall faces a huge problem in unifying the country. Its economy relies on the two great empires, and once it becomes independent, the two great empires will definitely cut off its funding. As for the smaller countries, they will not be able to supply them, and their collapse is only a matter of time. The Spirit Hall's own economic foundation is far from sufficient to support it in cutting off the supply from the two great empires and establishing a country.

The Spirit Hall does have a large number of Soul Masters, but correspondingly, it consumes even more resources.

In conclusion, if the economic foundation of the Spirit Hall at the grassroots level is not strengthened, it will not be able to conquer the world. Even if it does, it will inevitably be unable to manage it well a hundred years later, and may even fall apart.

Why emphasize a century?

Because after becoming a god, one can only stay in the mortal realm for about a hundred years (according to the original setting), otherwise one has to hide, like Lie Yan in the God of Wine, and Tang Hao and Lan Yin Huang who stayed on Douluo Continent in the original work. Moreover, the author estimated that after becoming a god, one cannot interfere in human affairs on a large scale, otherwise those fun-loving gods in the god realm would be worried about not having a reason to come down and have fun.

As for Tang San in Douluo Continent II and the subsequent series, it can only be said that he has become one of the rule-makers.
