Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 185 Huo Yuhao's Journey in Douyi (Part 1)

Tang San's spiritual sea, or in his upper dantian.

Stimulated and nourished by Tang San's life-giving energy, the gray aura instantly grew stronger, awakened, and transformed into human form, gaining a more solid shape.

Its appearance was that of an old man with a weathered face, wearing an illusory black robe with a strange golden rune on it, which was not clearly visible.

A phantom white cloak draped over his back, with a hood on his head, contrasting sharply with his black robe.

His right hand held a phantom staff that was two meters longer than his own height, and its entire body was made of a mixture of black, white and gold.

Black exudes a pure aura of death, while gold radiates a holy aura of light.

As for the white color, it seemed to have spatial fluctuations.

The three colors coiled around the staff, and at its top was a huge crystal, carved into the shape of a skull, and entirely white.

"It's quite unexpected that I, the old man who is the Holy God of Death, have been nourished by spiritual power that contains some life qualities. Even my attire from my prime can be condensed into an illusory appearance. I have also recalled a part of my memories... The rules of this world are very special, and you are even more special."

Electrolux gazed at Tang San, the true master of this sea of ​​spirit, and slowly spoke, "His body is unbelievably powerful, and he can even convert his physical energy, soul energy (similar to spiritual power and magical energy), and spiritual energy into one another... This is simply a genius idea. If you truly accomplish this, you will possess the power of a god, and perhaps even achieve true immortality!"

"Even the gods cannot compare!"

"Excellent, truly outstanding! Even at your age, I can hardly match your achievements! It's truly remarkable!"

Tang San clasped his hands in a fist and bowed slightly, then said, "Senior, isn't it inappropriate to trespass without the master's permission and even look through my memories?"

"It is indeed dishonest of me, but please don't take offense. Although I was a demigod in my past life, I am now merely a remnant soul. Moreover, your spiritual power is vast and of profound quality, so I cannot see all your memories. I can only observe some of your research process... If I were in your position, I would definitely be inferior to you." Electrox sighed again, deeply moved by Tang San's excellence, and moreover—

Life and death are exactly opposites, aren't they?

Perhaps this is fate's arrangement.

Moreover, Electrolux also sensed another power within Tang San's body, containing extreme destructive power.

Tang San possesses both life and destruction.

He, Electrox, controls both light and death.

Life, light...

Destruction, death...

This must be fate!

"A demigod?" Tang San feigned surprise. "It seems that you were very powerful in your lifetime, and had already reached the level of a god."

"To hold the sun and moon in one's hands and pluck the stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world!"

Electrox stroked his beard and laughed. "If I wanted to, I would have been the Grim Reaper long ago. Unfortunately, in my plane, becoming a god means assimilating with the elements, which is death... However, this world is different. I sense that there is an even more powerful divine realm above this world, which governs many planes."

"It's all thanks to the nourishment of your spiritual power; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to sense it."

"It's ironic, really, that I, who wield necromancy, am nourished by spiritual energy related to life... Perhaps, I've never truly given up on the light..."

Tang San interrupted Electrolux, "Sorry, I'm not interested in your story right now."

Electrolux: "...You have a unique sense of humor."

"It's just self-preservation. Knowing things you shouldn't know before you have the corresponding strength is not a good thing," Tang San said calmly. "It won't be too late for you to tell me your story after I break through to a level similar to a god."

"Very well." Electrolux was silent for a moment before agreeing to Tang San's suggestion. "It just so happens that my memories haven't fully recovered yet. I need some time to recuperate and see if I can fully recover them. Although I can sense that it may be a painful past, without complete memories, I am not the real me."

"So, senior, since you'll probably be living in my upper dantian for the rest of your life, do you need to pay rent?" Tang San revealed a shrewd businessman's smile.

Electrolux was speechless, but still asked, "I can give you cultivation methods and magic from another world. What do you think?"

"That's certainly good, but it's a mixed bag without a focus, which isn't what I want. Qi and blood, soul power, spiritual power, as well as martial souls, soul rings, soul bones, soul tools, and so on, have already taken up most of my time, making it unsuitable for me to study other world systems." Tang San's eyes flickered. "Moreover, in my opinion, no matter what kind of cultivation system it is, it can't escape two words: matter and energy."

"I haven't seen magic, but I guess it also involves using energy to interfere with matter. The medium used, besides chanting spells, is the energy flow loop that is constructed and displayed."

"May I ask, senior, is my understanding correct?"

Electrolux was speechless. Even he hadn't seen through this, yet the little guy in front of him had. It was truly remarkable.

"I'm not as good as you... So, what kind of rent do you want? You wouldn't happen to want me to become your martial soul, would you?"

"That's something I can do. Anyway, I'm already dead, so it doesn't matter."

Tang San shook his head: "No need. As for martial souls, two are enough. More than that would be troublesome to control. What I value is your wisdom, senior."

"Or rather, wisdom."

Upon hearing this, Electrox laughed heartily and said, "Interesting, truly interesting. I have seen many people who either desire power, crave wealth, or pursue authority and status."

"And the purest person I've ever met possessed pure love... He was someone who moved me deeply, and then I took him as my disciple..."

"But you are the first person to want my brain."

Tang San smiled slightly: "In this world, only truth is eternal, and love is one of the truths. It is only natural to be moved by it."

"I'm not as open-minded as you..." Electrolux sighed, as if recalling something. "Love is indeed a truth, but truth is not just love. I've only just realized that!"

"Tsk~"

"Perhaps I should call you teacher."

Tang San raised his head and said with a smile, "If senior is willing, this junior would not mind."

Electrolux: "......"

Boom!

Tang San's soul jolted, returning to his body. He opened his eyes and woke up, only to hear Ilex's words echoing in his ears: "Kid, I agree to the rent you asked for. If you want to research anything in the future, you can call me along. I'm quite curious about the martial souls of this world~"

"Third Brother, you're awake!"

When Guangling saw that Tang San had woken up, she immediately brought him a bowl of water.

Tang San drank the water, placed the bowl on the bedside table, looked around, and realized he was in an inn. He got off the bed, patted Guang Ling's head, and said, "Thanks, I'm fine now. Besides, I gained a lot this time."

Necromancer God, Undead Catastrophe.

He became his "grandpa".

"Third Brother, are you alright?" Xiao Wu walked in from outside the door. Seeing that Tang San had recovered, she rushed over, hugged him, and asked with concern.

"It's alright, don't cry." Tang San patted Xiao Wu's back, signaling her to be careful. Guang Ling was still watching enviously from the side.

Releasing Tang San, Xiao Wu said, "Third Brother, don't worry, that guy is doomed!"

During Tang San's coma, Xiao Wu returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and told Di Tian and the others about the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice to a human. She also provided a portrait of Huo Yuhao. Xiao Wu also drew illustrations while writing "Xiao Rou's Wonderful Adventure," which were in a realistic style, and she had a good talent for drawing.

To ferocious beasts like Di Tian, ​​Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's sacrifice to humans was a betrayal of the soul beasts.

Although it was the ferocious beasts who captured the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and absorbed its cultivation, Xiao Wu also absorbed the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's energy. In addition, the human chosen by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm also harmed Tang San.

Since we've already offended him, let's offend him thoroughly and leave him no way out.

In the future, the type of human chosen by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm will want to enter the ten-thousand-year soul beast area and core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest; otherwise, all the ten-thousand-year soul beasts will besiege him.

"Don't worry about him, Huo Yuhao is nothing to fear." Tang San didn't know what Xiao Wu had done and thought she wanted to avenge him, so he comforted her, "My fainting was not directly related to that guy, but rather the remnant soul of a demigod from another plane entered my upper dantian... During the time I was unconscious, it was me communicating with him."

"A demigod?" Xiao Wu exclaimed in shock, then asked anxiously, "He won't harm you, will he?"

"No, I'm in charge of my own body," Tang San said confidently.

Electrolux: "..." He just revealed my situation like that? Wasn't he trusting these two women far too much? I have a bad feeling about this... My forgotten memories seem to be related to women...

"By the way, how long have I been unconscious?" Tang San asked.

"One day and one night," Xiao Wu said.

"Well then, it's time to go back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. From now on, we need to focus on improving our cultivation and strength." Tang San's eyes shone brightly, as if he could already see the moment when the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament would begin.

At that time, I will demonstrate to everyone the power of a master of martial spirit theory...

···

"A million-year-old soul beast?"

Bibi Dong frowned, looking at the kneeling level 70 Quasi-Soul Saint below, then at the corpse of Demon Bear Douluo brought back by Ghost Douluo, as well as the corpses of the other five Quasi-Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, and coldly asked, "Ghost Douluo, is what he said true?"

"The deaths of Demon Bear Douluo and the others were indeed due to their inability to withstand the infusion of spiritual power, resulting in their brains ruptured," Ghost Douluo said respectfully. "Currently, among the spirit beasts on the continent that are skilled in spiritual power and have been explored and recorded, even those that are 100,000 years old might be able to kill a Title Douluo, but to directly burst the brain of a Title Douluo... please forgive my ignorance, but perhaps only spirit beasts with cultivation exceeding 100,000 years can do that."

"Moreover, Your Holiness, I used my Martial Soul to probe the memories recorded by this survivor, and I did indeed see an Ice Silkworm that could speak human language."

"Although it wasn't very clear, based on the fact that Demon Bear Douluo stood there in a daze at the time, we can confirm that the Ice Silkworm that appeared on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest had a cultivation level of more than 100,000 years."

"Whether it has reached a million years remains to be seen."

"Also, regarding why the Ice Silkworm sacrificed itself to humans, it did say something like 'to take revenge on those bastards in the Star Dou Great Forest'... If that's true, then there might be soul beasts over 100,000 years old in the unexplored areas of the Star Dou Great Forest, and quite a few of them."

Bibi Dong waved her hand, ordering her men to take the terrified Quasi-Soul Saint away.

Although Ghost Douluo's mental probing should confirm that there is no mistake, since the Ice Silkworm is a million-year-old soul beast, why did it allow this guy to find a chance to run back?

Was that ice silkworm too stupid?

Or was it that the Ice Silkworm deliberately left this quasi-Soul Saint behind to pass on the message to humans, attracting powerful Soul Masters from among them to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest?

Furthermore, isn't it too far-fetched that a soul beast like the Ice Silkworm could cultivate for a million years?

For a moment, Bibi Dong thought of many possibilities, but she didn't think of searching for information in the library. Instead, she wondered whether she should go to the Star Dou Great Forest to investigate.

After all, her second spirit, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, only has seven spirit rings, and the seventh spirit ring is a 100,000-year spirit ring, which she obtained from a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit.

It has to be said that this spirit ring is completely mismatched with her Soul Devouring Spider King. Only a spirit ring or spirit bone of the 100,000-year level would bring a greater boost to her spirit power.

This is also why Bibi Dong placed it in the seventh position, since the soul skill brought by the seventh soul ring will definitely have a martial soul true form.

In other words, a 100,000-year soul ring has two soul skills. Besides the Martial Soul True Body, the remaining 100,000-year soul skill is extremely useless.

Bibi Dong did not immediately search for the remaining two soul ring slots of the Soul Devouring Spider King, realizing this and preparing to observe for a while before the time for the divine test of the Rakshasa God's inheritance (to complete the soul rings of the two martial souls and reach level ninety-nine) arrived.

The purpose was both to search for traces of 100,000-year-old soul beasts and to see if there were any suitable spider-type soul beasts.

If you really can't find a suitable spider-type soul beast, then choose another soul beast of the 100,000-year level.

Now, the Star Dou Great Forest actually contains soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old, and there are even so-called million-year-old soul beasts, which really tempted Bibi Dong.

Although the Ice Silkworm and the Soul-Devouring Spider King are not very compatible, the Soul-Devouring Spider King also has spiritual attributes and can inherit the Ice Silkworm's spiritual attributes, not to mention its million-year cultivation level.

This really appealed to her.

However, with the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament just around the corner, searching for a million-year-old soul beast would inevitably waste a lot of time. How should we decide?

Ultimately, Bibi Dong decided to search for him after the tournament.

Bibi Dong hasn't completely gone mad yet; reason still prevails. Her hatred for the Spirit Hall is primarily directed at the Qian family's Angel lineage...

···

On the other side, Huo Yuhao, who had escaped death, learned from Dou Yitianmeng and Dou Ertianmeng that Electrolux had sacrificed himself to save him and harbored intense hatred for Tang San.

"Damn Chinese dog!"

"My cheat code!"

Dou Yitianmeng and Dou Ertianmeng looked at each other and secretly vowed never to tell Huo Yuhao that the reason Electrolux was leaving was actually because the two of them wanted to move.

Otherwise, given Huo Yuhao's personality, he might target them once he becomes stronger.

In terms of double standards, this guy is even worse than Tang San.

However, for now, the two of them can only stay on Huo Yuhao's body... But things aren't actually that bad. As long as Huo Yuhao doesn't provoke Tang San and his group and cultivates honestly, with their help, becoming a god in the future isn't out of the question.

At least for now, Huo Yuhao has two ice-attribute martial souls that are not yet fully formed, and in the future he may possess two ice-attribute beast martial souls.

Ice Jade Scorpion, that's confirmed.

For the remaining one, we could choose Xue Di. At this stage, she probably didn't choose to take human form and instead became an embryo... It's not impossible to make her Huo Yuhao's martial soul.

After all, without Electrolux, the Ice and Snow Emperor could no longer become a spirit.

I just don't know where Xue Di is.

The three Heavenly Kings of the Far North know each other, but only to a limited extent. Their relationship is probably only close to that of Titan Snow Demon King and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, who both like Snow Empress.

This is a sad story.

"Huo Yuhao, don't get so excited. You still have us. That old man's magic isn't anything special to learn; it's a mixed bag without any real mastery. Once your soul power reaches level 30, we'll go to the far north to help you obtain a second, or even a third, martial soul. You'll still have the Three Lives Martial Soul; that won't change," Dou Er Tianmeng comforted him.

"That makes sense." Huo Yuhao calmed down, but he was still angry. After all, how could two ice-attribute martial souls compare to the undead holy magic god, Ilex?

But getting angry won't help.

For now, he can only take it one step at a time, and once he becomes stronger in the future, he will definitely have to regain his dignity.

Dou Yitian asked, "Do you know where to go now? If you want to cultivate quickly, you need to find a more advanced meditation method. The novel 'Peerless Tang Sect' only briefly mentions it. Just having a vivid imagination won't help your soul power improve quickly. Although my situation is a little better than Dou Ertian's, and I can provide you with more cultivation, it won't be much."

"Besides, your physique is too weak."

Compared to Tang San's physique, which resembled a humanoid dragon, Huo Yuhao was like a piece of paper, thin as a cicada's wing, which could be easily pierced with a little force.

There is absolutely no comparison.

"That is a problem." Huo Yuhao frowned. "Then, can you apply gravity to me?"

"Without that ability, our mental energy cannot be converted into gravity. The so-called sense of oppression only affects your or others' mental energy," Dou Ertianmeng said. "Also, if you want to undergo gravity training, you need to eat well. You're so thin, if you were subjected to double gravity, your internal organs would rupture."

"It seems I really need to find an academy to join." Huo Yuhao frowned, realizing the seriousness of the problem, and prepared to head to Heaven Dou City...

Original setting: Bibi Dong's seventh spirit ring was the one that Xiao Wu's mother dropped; the sequel changed it to it being eaten by a ferocious beast.

As for Bibi Dong's ninth spirit ring (a 100,000-year level), the original novel doesn't say where it came from, but the comic seems to show that it is Xiao Wu's mother's spirit ring.

However, it doesn't matter; this aspect of the book is taken from the original work.
