Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 135 Three vs. Eight (Part 4)

"Captain, why are you admitting defeat?"

After Yu Tianheng left the arena, Shi Mo asked curiously, "You weren't completely powerless to resist, were you?"

"He has the power to resist, but this is just a friendly spar; there's no need to fight to the death." Yu Tianheng's expression shifted slightly. "Tang San must have a backup plan. He's definitely not an ordinary soul master. I suspect he's that master of martial soul theory."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng, oblivious to his companions' gasps of surprise, asked, "What's wrong with you guys? Don't you trust our judgment?"

"No, we guessed it before, Teacher Qin Ming was the first to guess it," Dugu Yan said.

"Is that so? It seems we didn't lose unjustly!" Yu Tianheng sighed, looked at Huo Wu, the only one left on the field, and said, "If it were a one-on-one challenge, the captain might be able to win, but one against three is completely impossible, not to mention that the girl with the long scorpion tail braid can go toe-to-toe with the captain."

To be honest, the people present, including Qin Ming, found it hard to imagine why the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul would have such strong attack power.

However, Tang San is a Martial Soul Master, capable of cultivating his Blue Silver Grass to such a powerful degree, so naturally he could also transform a Soft Bone Rabbit into a Battle Soul Master with exceptional agility and power.

"I'm not fighting anymore!"

Just then, the battle on the field stopped. Huo Wu took the initiative to cease fighting and put away her martial soul. "You, a mere rabbit, can beat me so badly. Tang San must be even more powerful. It seems I still need to work harder."

clap clap clap!

applause.

Qin Ming led Yu Tianheng and the others over and said, "Welcome to the team, Master Tang San."

"No need to call me Master, just call me Tang San, Teacher Qin Ming." Tang San waved his hand casually. "After all, I don't want to become a celebrity, nor do I want to be forced to join any faction."

Once his identity is exposed, various forces will definitely vie for him, and he will inevitably lose his freedom.

Although quite a few people now know his identity, these people are all promising young talents who are currently bound by their families' "interests" and "management," and he can trust them for now.

As for two years later, when the competition begins and one's wings are fully grown, there will be no need to worry about those petty villains.

"Of course, we won't tell anyone," Qin Ming assured him. Yu Tianheng and the others also swore that they would not reveal Tang San's true identity to anyone.

After the battle, the two sides became much closer.

Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, in particular, struck up a conversation with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, as if the girls had endless topics to discuss.

However, Yu Feng was quite afraid of Guang Ling, after all, she had shot him through the stomach with an arrow before. Although he received treatment from Ye Lingling, Ye Lingling had been paralyzed before and her soul power had not recovered, so his stomach was still hurting.

Upon seeing his condition, Tang San used his first soul skill to wrap a Blue Silver Emperor around Yu Feng, restoring his injuries and soul power.

"You're really a support-type?" Yu Feng sensed his wounds healing rapidly, and his stamina and soul power recovering. He couldn't help but look at Tang San. "Is this the effect of your first soul skill?"

"That's right, this is the effect of my first soul skill: Endless Recovery. It can restore injuries, stamina, and soul power, but it cannot detoxify. However, it can transfer life force, which has a certain effect on alleviating poison. Its recovery efficiency will increase as my soul power level increases." Tang San explained the effect of his first soul skill, which amazed the others.

"Your Blue Silver Grass focuses on vitality?" Ye Lingling actually sensed that her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul had some connection with Tang San's Blue Silver Grass the moment she saw him. The surging vitality was something her Nine Heart Begonia lacked.

"That's right." Tang San nodded. "My Blue Silver Grass is mainly focused on life. The reason it can achieve control-type abilities is most likely because my Blue Silver Grass is a mutated variety. In addition, it absorbed multiple spirit rings beyond its level, making it extremely tough and controllable. Naturally, it can do things that only control-type abilities can do."

"I've also heard about your Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. No matter what type of Soul Ring you add, it will only produce one Soul Skill: Healing. This is comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The first six Soul Skills of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul are also specific, but the order will change depending on the type of Soul Ring added."

"If there were more Nine Heart Begonia Martial Souls, it might become a major sect comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

In Tang San's opinion, the owner of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is not suitable to be a Battle Soul Master, but rather to become a doctor.

If there were more of them, they could indeed become a major sect comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Moreover, there is not much competition between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Nine Heart Begonia, since the Nine Heart Begonia only has one soul skill: healing.

Unfortunately, the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul is very peculiar. Only two can exist at the same time. Only when one of them dies will the next owner of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul be born.

Tang San actually really wanted to investigate the essence of this strange phenomenon and see what was going on, but now was definitely not the time.

"Sigh, what can I do? My Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul is such a peculiar thing; only two can exist at the same time." Ye Lingling was also a little puzzled by this. She asked her family, but they didn't know either. "Tang San, do you know why?"

"I haven't researched it, so I don't know. I can help you look into it if I have the chance in the future," Tang San smiled. "Right now, I don't have that ability."

Ye Lingling did not show any disappointment. After all, over the years, she had never investigated why her family's ancestral martial soul could only have two at the same time.

I was just asking subconsciously, and I didn't expect Tang San to give me the reason immediately.

It would be strange if Tang San could say it.

Seeing that Tang San and the others had easily integrated into the Heaven Dou Royal Team, Qin Ming smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the Heaven Dou Grand Hotel for a dinner to celebrate the addition of three new members to our team."

"Long live Teacher Qin Ming!" the two brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, cheered.

Tiandou Grand Hotel.

That was a restaurant specifically for nobles; even the cheapest meal there would cost nearly three thousand gold soul coins.

The members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, excluding Tang San and others who had just joined, could all be considered to come from wealthy families. But even so, they couldn't possibly eat at the Heaven Dou Grand Hotel every day. They didn't have that much pocket money, and they couldn't bear the embarrassment of asking their families for pocket money just to eat a meal.

"Alright, don't get so excited. I have something else to tell you." Qin Ming reassured everyone, "Tomorrow, two new students will be coming to the academy. His Majesty Tian Dou and Prince Xue Xing will both be there, and you should all attend."

Ning Fengzhi once said: "He who gains the master gains the world."

A more reasonable explanation is that in the original novel, Ning Fengzhi was attracted to Tang San and had a thorough understanding of his character: blindly loyal, harboring a grudge against the Spirit Hall, but unwilling to be bound by the royal family. Therefore, he advised Emperor Xue Ye to target Yu Xiaogang, after all—

Who "Yu Xiaogang" is isn't important; what matters is Tang San.
