Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 129 Tang Hao's Surprise

"Has Tang San already left Notting City?" Tang Hao calculated the time to return, intending to kill Xiao Wu, take her soul bone, and then secretly give it to Tang San as his last token of affection as a father.

However, to my surprise, the gatekeeper said that Tang San had already left.

Or was he with Xiao Wu and another girl named Guang Ling... playing such wild games? A threesome?

"Yes, Tang San is the pride of Notting Academy. I heard he went to hunt for his fourth spirit ring, and then he'll be reporting to the advanced academy." The gatekeeper remarked, then looked at the tall, unshaven man in front of him, "Who are you?"

"A fourth spirit ring?" Tang Hao exclaimed in surprise, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course!" the gatekeeper said loudly. "The teachers at the school all know, and if you go to the city to ask, people there will also know that Tang San was already level 40 when he left the school."

"Level 40, age 12." Tang Hao couldn't understand why Tang San's cultivation speed was so fast. Did he really have some unique insights into the study of martial souls?

If he continues to cultivate at this pace, he might surpass him and become the youngest Title Douluo on the continent.

But why is the martial soul Blue Silver Grass?

If only I could inherit the Clear Sky Hammer!

"Which advanced academy is he going to?" Tang Hao then asked.

"How would I know?" The gatekeeper scratched his head. "The teachers at school don't know either. They only know he's taking his two girlfriends to Tiandou City, which is the imperial city. I could never go there in my life... By the way, who are you anyway? Why are you asking so many questions?"

Tang Hao didn't say a word, turned around and left.

"What a strange person." The doorman had a odd expression, but didn't think much of it, simply continuing to lie on the recliner and begin another day of slacking off...

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy

Ling Yuan, sent by Bibi Dong, found Tang San and said, "My guardian mission is almost complete. With your current strength, you don't need to worry about anyone coming to cause you trouble, especially since this is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

My soul power has reached level 80, and I'm going to hunt a soul beast. For the next period of time, I'll be staying at the Spirit Hall branch in Heaven Dou City. If you need anything, just come find me there.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me during this time, Sister Lingyuan." Tang San took out a document from his storage wristband and handed it over.

"What's this?" Ling Yuan took it, flipped through it, and saw information on three kinds of soul beasts.

"The references for Sister Lingyuan's eighth spirit ring are all spirit beasts over 50,000 years old, a total of three," Tang San said. "The first one is the Wind God Wyvern, which lives in the Stormy Grand Canyon. It can enhance your Wind Chime Bird's origin and also give you an extremely powerful attack spirit skill, Wind God Transformation. According to my speculation, after obtaining this spirit skill, you will have the opportunity to compete with a Title Douluo."

"The second type is called the Skywind Eagle, which is commonly found in the green grasslands within the Star Luo Empire. It is also the wind attribute source that can enhance your martial soul. It will most likely give you a single-target penetrating wind attribute soul skill, which can add a ranged output soul skill for you. With your Soul Douluo level soul power, even non-defense titled Douluos below level 95 will find it difficult to withstand it."

"The third type is the Bell-Sounding Wind Bat. This kind of soul beast lives in caves and similar environments in the Star Dou Great Forest, and it can also be found in the Sunset Forest."

"The reason I chose this is because Sister Lingyuan is indeed very fast, but her mental reaction seems a bit slow. With the Bell Wind Bat's enhancement, you can improve your control over yourself and your ability to perceive the wind. The effect is similar to the second soul skill I chose for Xiaowu: Listening to the Wind."

"However, the specific choice is up to you, Sister Lingyuan."

Looking at the information on the three types of soul beasts in her hand, Ling Yuan was somewhat conflicted: "I want them all, what should I do?"

"Don't be too greedy. After all, you can't hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast that's right for you." Tang San spread his hands, indicating that he had no other choice. "Besides, just finding a 100,000-year-old soul beast might take you several years. When you get older and your soul power cultivation speed slows down, your chances of reaching the Title Douluo realm will be slim."

The higher the level of soul power cultivation, the slower the progress.

If the body ages prematurely, it becomes even more difficult to improve.

Therefore, most Soul Masters do not have many choices. Once their cultivation reaches a bottleneck, they must immediately hunt for Soul Rings.

The higher the level, the less time you can afford to waste.

"Understood." Ling Yuan put away the documents and asked, "By the way, my martial soul is the Wind Chime Bird. Wouldn't a Wind Chime Bird be a more suitable soul beast for me?"

"It is indeed suitable, but according to the information I found in the 'Encyclopedia of Soul Beasts,' the Wind Chime Bird is on the verge of extinction. The last time it was discovered was about a hundred years ago, and its age was only nine thousand years," Tang San said. "Although it wasn't explicitly stated that the nine-thousand-year-old Wind Chime Bird was hunted down, even if it were still alive, and given its extraordinary talent, it could accumulate a thousand years of cultivation in a hundred years. Reaching ten thousand years would only mean it had just entered the ten-thousand-year stage. Does Sister Ling Yuan really want her eighth soul ring to be just a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring?"

"Perhaps there are other bellbirds in places unexplored by humans."

Just entered the ten-thousand-year mark?

That would be ridiculous.

Ling Yuan thought that her eighth spirit ring was only ten thousand years old, and she would definitely be ridiculed by other spirit douluos in the future.

Unexplored areas are not something a Soul Douluo like her can seek out.

But which of these three spirit beasts—the Wind God Winged Dragon, the Sky Wind Eagle, and the Bell-Sounding Wind Bat—should I choose as my eighth spirit ring? Each one seems perfect for me…

···

After Ling Yuan left, Huo Wu finally asked, "Were they from the Spirit Hall?"

"Yes, after all, I am a master of spirit theory. It's normal for the Spirit Hall to send someone to protect me secretly, since they are afraid that I will die young, right?" Tang San said with a smile.

Protect?

It's surveillance, isn't it?

Huo Wu, with the deepest suspicions, warned Tang San, "My grandmother told me to be careful of the Spirit Hall. They have ill intentions and are trying to win over all the spirit masters on the continent."

"Isn't this something every major power is doing?" Tang San countered. "It's just that the Spirit Hall has done it the biggest, the best, and the most effectively, so you're just jealous."

"Can't you speak properly?" Huo Wu was speechless. "Forget it, it's a political issue for big shots anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Come on, I'll take you to meet the Heaven Dou Royal Team One. That's a powerful team, and the vice-captain is from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan."

"The three of you will join in too."

Tang San exclaimed in surprise, "The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan member is just a vice-captain? The captain isn't you, is he?"

Huo Wu pouted smugly and said, "That's right, don't you know who I am? I am Huo Wu, and I have already become a Soul Master."

"The vice-captain isn't a Soul Master yet?"

"Yes, but not as powerful as mine. My martial soul is of higher quality than that so-called Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
