Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 165 Return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy

The appearance of the camera box greatly interested Huo Wu, Yu Tianheng, and others. They keenly realized that this thing might be able to change the way information is recorded.

From the perspective of the Soul Master Competition, this kind of photography equipment can record every match and conduct a more comprehensive analysis afterwards.

If investigators use this camera box, it will be extremely useful for recording intelligence and information, like adding wings to a tiger.

"This kind of soul tool is very suitable for reconnaissance in war," Yu Feng said.

"War? No, this thing was originally created to record images, spread messages, or perhaps show movies." Tang San shook his head, returned the camera case to Guang Ling, and explained with a smile.

Its fundamental purpose is mainly to expand the influence of the Soul Master Competition.

"What is a movie?" Huo Wu asked.

"You've all seen operas, right?" Tang San used the operas that exist in Douluo Continent as an example. "The so-called movies are similar to opera stories, except that you don't need to go to an opera house to see them. As long as you have a projection screen and a soul tool that can record videos, you can find actors, record videos, and then play them out to bring people spiritual enjoyment."

"So this is what movies are like."

Opera, Fire Dance, and others naturally knew about it.

but--

"Why not call it Light and Shadow? Or Soul Shadow?" Huo Wu asked curiously. "After all, it uses soul power as an energy source, and it uses light and shadow, so why is it electricity?"

"Because electricity is a much simpler energy source than soul power, after all, there are very few soul masters on the continent... Besides, movies are easier to pronounce." This was Tang San's habit in his previous life. Anyway, the naming rights were in his hands, so he didn't need to care about other people's opinions.

Huo Wu and the others did not pursue the matter further, as they preferred to train their bodies and increase their soul power rather than using soul tools.

Fortunately, the first thing Guangling made was not a soul tool that could be used for attack; otherwise, these people might not have been able to accept it.

Everything needs to be done gradually.

After the camera box was manufactured, Guangling spent his days improving the camera box, in addition to training. He improved two types of camera boxes.

One type can only be used for taking pictures. It has a special long slot on it. You insert a piece of stiff paper, input your soul power, and press the shutter to record a momentary scene.

Another method is to record images, but with the addition of wind and thunder soul guide basic runes, combined with light and darkness. With Tang San's help, they conducted a large number of experiments and finally improved the soul guide photography box that could record sound.

So, in the following period of time, Guangling used the soul guide camera and soul guide photography box to help everyone in the Tiandou Royal Team record their life scenes at the Xingluo Royal Academy.

Huo Wu and the others saw the photos of themselves. Compared to the real people, they were exactly the same except that they couldn't move, and their expressions at the time were also very lifelike.

"This thing will put many painters out of work."

Huo Wu, having put the photos away, complained, "How much did it cost? It couldn't be very expensive, could it?"

"Currently, they are handmade, with the parts crafted by Third Brother, which makes them more expensive. However, once these things can be mass-produced like the life-guiding soul tools on the market, the price will be lower, similar to soul-guiding lamps and soul-guiding fans," Guangling said. "After all, the materials themselves are not expensive."

As for whether this thing will cause painters on the mainland to lose their jobs?

Guangling stated that this had nothing to do with her.

The soul-guided camera is merely for recording images; its essence is to record information, not for drawing. In terms of artistry, it cannot compare to the boundless imagination of a painter.

However, if the right angle and environment are found, the images of people captured by this soul-guided camera can rival the exquisite artistry of a painter's work.

Who knows, these two things might give rise to new art forms.

"That's true."

Huo Wu bought a soul-guided camera and a soul-guided video camera from Guang Ling, and the others did the same. After all, these were extremely novel gadgets, and they were handmade by Tang San and Guang Ling, making them collectible.

The students of Xingluo Royal Academy noticed the photographic and video soul tools in the hands of the people from Tiandou Royal Academy and wanted to buy them, but they were fooled by Huo Wu and others.

Although the main function of the Soul Guide Camera and Soul Guide Photography Box is to record images, their reconnaissance value in war is considerable, so they cannot be revealed to the Star Luo Empire.

Xu Xing understood what it was, but he couldn't make it. He also knew the principle of pinhole imaging, but without the specific blueprints, he couldn't manufacture a camera.

Although the Star Crown Sect is a large and powerful family, it would not allow a talented disciple to waste his talent on researching cameras. Moreover, he himself did not know the specific manufacturing method and working principle of the soul-guided camera.

He had seen and memorized the twelve basic runes used in the creation of the soul tool, but studying them was too much of a waste of his energy, and the people of the Star Crown Sect did not allow him to waste his precious cultivation time studying those incomprehensible soul tool patterns.

The soul-guided mechs at the Golden Ancient Tree are indeed powerful, but the elders of the Star Crown Sect believe that they are not something that soul masters can create. Spending time studying them will most likely yield nothing.

This is a cognitive issue.

Although Xu Xing is a transmigrator with extraordinary talent, his background in a major sect means he is destined to adapt to the sect's environment and cannot have too many free ideas.

In short, it still comes down to this: the most important thing for a major sect is the continuation of its heritage, not taking risks.

You, Xu Xing, were born with full soul power. Instead of working hard to cultivate and quickly become a Title Douluo to inherit and glorify the Star Crown Sect, you're researching things like soul tools. Isn't that a waste of your excellent cultivation talent?

The older generation in the sect generally held this view, and the younger generation, influenced by their elders, also had similar ideas.

Xu Xing wanted to research it, but he couldn't actually do it.

After all, the elders and sect leader of the Star Crown Sect all hoped that he could take on the responsibility of the Great Liang, so how could they allow him to indulge in frivolous pursuits and neglect his duties?

"Times are changing. Is Tang San trying to completely mess up the plot?" Xu Xing sighed helplessly and finally gave up the idea of ​​researching soul tools, preparing to focus on his cultivation.

Strength is the foundation.

He must reach the Title Douluo level quickly to cope with the increasingly unpredictable future...

···

In the blink of an eye, the exchange between the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team and the Star Luo Royal Academy team came to an end.

In the past six months, Tang San has mainly studied and perfected the Free and Easy Wind Control Technique, and passed it on to Xiao Wu and Guang Ling. His own Jade Bone Technique, under the tempering of the waterfall, has completely jadeified the bones in his limbs and shoulders, leaving only the torso bones, spine bones and skull unfinished. His soul power has also reached level forty-four.

Xiao Wu, using the Jade Bone Technique, has her thigh bones already adorned with jade, followed by the palm bones of her hands, and her soul power has reached level forty-four.

Guangling, using the Jade Bone Technique, has fully cultivated the palm bones of both hands and feet, achieving a relatively balanced state, similar to Tang San, and his soul power has reached level thirty-five.

She spent some of her time researching soul tools, which delayed her cultivation, but with Tang San's assistance and training, she is still no worse than other Soul Masters and is expected to become a Soul Grandmaster before the age of fourteen.

Huo Wu's soul power has reached level 46.

Yu Tianheng, Soul Power Level 43.

Dugu Yan, Soul Power Level 42.

Ning Rongrong, Soul Power Level 36.

Bai Chenxiang, Soul Power Level 34.

Oslo, Soul Power Level 37.

Ye Lingling, Soul Power Level 39.

Lan Yinzi, Soul Power Level 36.

Yu Feng, Soul Power Level 37.

Graphite, Soul Power Level 38.

Stone mill, Soul Power Level 38.

Over the past six months, everyone has made significant progress. Once the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament begins, everyone will surely become a Soul Master, and Huo Wu and Yu Tianheng may even become Soul Kings.

Bai Chenxiang's soul power level is a little low, but in terms of controlling soul power, her progress is faster than Huo Wu's, second only to Guang Ling.

This is because her martial soul is the Swift, which is known for its speed. Her reaction ability is also at its peak, and her control over soul power is the strongest among them, except for Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Guang Ling.

After all, at such a high speed, if you don't control it well, you'll end up with a bloody head injury.

Qin Ming saw that everyone had made remarkable progress under Tang San's guidance, especially Oslo, Ye Lingling, Yu Feng, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo, whose soul power was approaching level 40 and who were expected to become Soul Masters within the year. As long as these five did not relax before the start of the competition, even the weakest soul power should be able to reach level 43.

This year's Heavenly Dou Royal main battle team consists of the pride of heaven!

"Tang San, I won't lose to you in the competition."

Within half a year, Davis also challenged Tang San, but Tang San did not use his martial soul ability; he was able to compete with him by relying only on his soul power.

This fueled Davis's competitive spirit towards Tang San.

Although he was a prince, he was also a Soul Master. In addition, the people of the Star Luo Empire were known for their fierce and unyielding nature, and they had a deep respect for the strong.

"I'm looking forward to it." Tang San shook hands with Davis and felt that this man was more open-minded than Dai Mubai.

"You won't be disappointed." Davis laughed heartily, then said to Yu Tianheng, "Yu Tianheng, how about we have a contest then?"

"No problem." Yu Tianheng was also looking forward to it. In the past six months, he had competed with Davis, winning and losing. Davis's kingly aura was no less than that of his Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"By the way, there's something I need to ask you." Davis and the members of the Star Luo team made way for Zhu Zhuqing, who had a youthful face and large breasts, to step out.

"This is someone you all know, Zhu Zhuqing. Because her martial soul, the Netherworld Cat, has awakened true dark power, the name Netherworld is truly well-deserved."

"Now that I've lost my spiritual connection with Dai Mubai, my engagement with him is over..."

"Now, for the sake of the friendship between Xingluo and Tiandou, our Xingluo Royal Academy has decided to send him to study at Tiandou Royal Academy. What do you think, Mr. Qin Ming and everyone at Tiandou Royal Academy?"

Qin Ming immediately replied, "This is naturally our honor. However, has your academy sent a relevant letter to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Of course," Davis said with a smile. "Two months ago, the letter, personally stamped by my father and three members of the academy's academic committee, was already sent out."

Zhu Zhuyun walked to Zhu Zhuqing's side and said with a smile, "Little sister, you must cherish this opportunity. After all, you earned it yourself."

"Um."

Zhu Zhuqing remained aloof, but in the past six months, Zhu Zhuyun's attitude towards her had improved considerably, and the two had rekindled the sisterly bond they shared before they were six years old.

Although a six-year estrangement cannot be dissolved in just six months, at least there is no longer a conflict of interest between the two, and it is inevitable that they will become closer.

"Mr. Qin Ming, if you see my good-for-nothing brother, you can tell him that he can come back. He has lost his eligibility to compete, and Father is preparing to arrange for him to enter the White Tiger Sect."

Davis leaned close to Qin Ming's ear and whispered, "Although the competition in our Star Luo royal family is ruthless, we won't exterminate those descendants who can't compete. After all, we can't possibly produce two 'Netherworld White Tigers' in every generation, can we? The members of the White Tiger Sect are mostly royal offspring who are unable to compete, which can be considered a precautionary measure."

Qin Ming understood and nodded, feeling much more relaxed.

The biggest problem in whether Shrek Academy can join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy lies with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Now, due to a twist of fate, Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul has truly awakened the power of darkness, and she has lost the possibility of martial soul fusion with Dai Mubai, thus losing her ability to compete.

Zhu Zhuqing can go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for exchanges, and Dai Mubai can return to Xingluo and join the White Tiger Sect. The problem is solved, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will certainly inform Dai Mubai," Qin Ming assured him.

"Haha, Mr. Qin Ming, don't be so serious."

Davis chuckled. "My brother is a real handful."

The carriages of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy set off.

A month and a half later.

The royal carriage sped along and arrived in Soto City once again, heading towards Shrek Academy.

Upon learning that Zhu Zhuqing had broken off their engagement and that he had lost his competitive edge, Dai Mubai was furious: "This must be fake, right?"

"Zhu Qing, how could you possibly break off our engagement?"

Although he could survive without competing with Davis, Dai Mubai still harbored aspirations for the throne rather than joining the White Tiger Sect.

More importantly, Zhu Zhuqing is his fiancée!

Now the engagement has been dissolved, and it was his father, the emperor, who made the decision... Where does that leave his pride?

What do Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Mu Tian think of him?

Perhaps with the threat to his life gone, Dai Mubai's pride took over, and he stared intently at Zhu Zhuqing: "Don't you have any feelings for me at all?"

"No," Zhu Zhuqing said coldly. "You ran away when you were eight years old. I've only met you once or twice. What feelings are we talking about? Besides, after I came to Shrek Academy, although you pretended to be nice to me for a while, you still indulged in depravity and frequented brothels. You didn't have any intention of changing. I can't even feel any goodwill towards you."

"Now, because my martial soul absorbed the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it has awakened the power of darkness. It no longer has a martial soul connection with your White Tiger, so the marriage contract on paper is naturally null and void."

"This is also a good thing for you. At least your older brother will stop targeting you, and you can survive. If you work hard, you can try to become the sect leader of the White Tiger Sect."

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth: "Then where do you expect me to save face?"

"As long as you're strong enough, no one will dare to criticize you. Besides, apart from the major families, the common people know nothing about the marriage agreement. And the people from the major families wouldn't joke about the royal family." After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she ignored Dai Mubai and said to Flander, "Dean Flander, thank you for taking care of me during my time at Shrek Academy. I was asked by the Star Luo Empire and the Star Luo Royal Academy to serve as a bridge between the two empires and join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I am no longer a student at Shrek Academy. I hope you will understand."

ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh

Flander sighed, then laughed and said, "Of course, you haven't been at Shrek for more than a few days anyway."

Yu Xiaogang, however, looked deep in thought.

His focus wasn't on Zhu Zhuqing's identity, but on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a kind of soul beast he had only seen in ancient books stored in the Spirit Hall, and thought it was just a legend, but he didn't expect it to actually exist.

Moreover, a single spirit ring was enough to awaken the dark power within the Netherworld Cat.

Could his body be examined?

So he asked.

"I'm sorry, Master Yu." Although she knew that Yu Xiaogang's abilities were weak, Zhu Zhuqing still gave him face. "After I absorbed the soul ring, the corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger turned into dust and disappeared with the wind."

Everyone who witnessed that scene was astonished.

Tang San was somewhat better off, but he was also surprised that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did not have the bead from the original story... probably because the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was only three thousand years old and did not have anything like an inner core.

"That's a real pity." Yu Xiaogang sighed, but in his heart he suspected that Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to take out the corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, after all, a legendary super soul beast must be extremely precious.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ming brought up the matter of Shrek Academy joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He said that as long as Dai Mubai returned to the Star Luo Empire and joined the White Tiger Sect, the identity issues of Shrek Academy and others could be resolved.

"I'm not going back!" Although Dai Mubai believed that Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't lie about such a thing, returning to the Star Luo Empire meant facing Davis.

That kind older brother left him with considerable psychological trauma.

Even without competing with him, Dai Mubai wouldn't dare to face him. Not to mention, the White Tiger Sect also needs to obey the Star Luo Royal Family. Even if he becomes the sect leader, he will still be overshadowed by Davis.

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

On Tiandou's side, at least he is free.

Now, everyone in the Heaven Dou Royal Team One saw Dai Mubai's true character: cowardly and timid.

Previously, they felt they couldn't compete and were afraid of death. Although they secretly despised it, they also felt it was only human nature. But now that the threat to their lives is gone, they are still afraid to go back. It's simply a waste of the "White Tiger" martial soul, which is of the level of a beast king.

"Mu Bai, what kind of behavior is this?" Flander shouted. The aura of a Soul Saint made Dai Mu Bai regain his composure. Then he said to Qin Ming, "Qin Ming, you guys go back first. We'll think about it some more."

"Okay then."

Helpless, Qin Ming could only take Tang San and the others back to the Royal Academy first, but he harbored some resentment towards Dai Mubai in his heart—if it weren't for him, the other teachers and students of Shrek Academy could have joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
