Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 218 Tang San VS Bibi Dong (Part 1)

At this moment, all was quiet.

Everyone who witnessed this scene, directly or indirectly, couldn't help but feel tense.

Tang San, a master of spirit theory, has choices that can influence the entire continent's situation—commoner spirit masters who have benefited from his theories will choose to join the Spirit Hall in large numbers after Tang San joins it.

Inside the Crown Prince's Palace in Heaven Dou City, Xue Qinghe hoped Tang San would join the Spirit Hall, yet he also didn't want Tang San to become that woman's subordinate: "He should clearly be one of my people!"

Yuexuan and Tang Yuehua were even more worried: "Xiaosan, what will you choose? Don't do anything stupid. Although the Haotian Sect didn't raise you, your second martial soul ultimately comes from the Haotian Sect."

Haotian Sect Headquarters.

The five elders and Tang Xiao also clenched their fists.

How could such an outstanding junior join the Spirit Hall? Isn't that like recognizing a thief as one's father?

"What on earth is that idiot Tang Hao doing?" the Seventh Elder roared. "Didn't he tell Tang San that he comes from the Clear Sky Sect? He should have refused immediately!"

"Perhaps, Brother Hao really hasn't told Tang San where he came from yet." Tang Xiao thought of something, his face bitter.

"Hmph, even if he wasn't told, I don't believe that Tang San, with his brain, wouldn't understand what his second martial soul represents." The Second Elder also lost his temper.

The Third Elder asked in confusion, "But why can his Clear Sky Hammer transform into a beast?"

No one could understand this, and could only speculate in the direction of mutation. Tang San, behind the curtain, slowly raised his hand and asked Bibi Dong, "Your Holiness, I think you should know what my second spirit means... Will the Spirit Hall tolerate me? It is rumored that the former Pope was seriously injured by Haotian's abandoned pawn and later died..."

These words can be described as bold.

Those who were intelligent present realized that Tang San was the son of one of the disciples of Haotian.

Tang Hao!

That madman!

Few present knew why the former Pope had made things difficult for Tang Hao, but what was certain was that after that battle, Tang San was born, Tang Hao broke through to the Title Douluo level, and severely injured the former Pope, Qian Xunji, ultimately leading to his death…

Although many people had doubts about the fact that he "died from incurable disease" (after all, once you reach the level of Title Douluo, as long as you still have a breath left and have not exhausted your life force, you can survive with the help of a healing soul master. The Spirit Hall has many healing soul masters of Soul Saint level and above), no one could doubt Tang Hao's combat power.

Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall have a history of conflict.

The current pope is a disciple of the former pope. How will he treat Tang San now?

"We can accommodate them." Surprisingly, Bibi Dong actually smiled, instantly dispelling the serious atmosphere. "The Spirit Hall welcomes anyone to join. Even when the Clear Sky Sect offended the Spirit Hall, they were only ordered to close their mountain and reflect on their mistakes. It doesn't mean they were not allowed to go down the mountain to purchase supplies or hunt spirit beasts."

Therefore, you don't need to worry.

"If the elders in the Elder Hall disagree, I will speak to them. Now that my identity as the successor of the gods has been exposed by that beast, I no longer need to hide it—"

"Within twenty years, I will definitely break through level 100 and achieve godhood."

"Moreover, I can tell you definitively that my strength has already reached level ninety-nine, unparalleled in this world. It's just that because I underwent the divine trial, my soul power was restricted, and under normal circumstances, I can only exert the strength of level ninety-eight."

"Whether in the past, present, or future, all the elders in the Elder Hall must give me face."

When Bibi Dong spoke of the past, she paused slightly. Tang San keenly noticed this and guessed that she might be recalling her terrible past experiences.

Bibi Dong's words were also a way of demonstrating her strength and resources to the world.

For her, God could be achieved within twenty years!

Joining the Spirit Hall is the future!

After a long while, Bibi Dong calmed down and looked at Tang San: "Now, give me your answer, Tang San. Are you willing to join the Spirit Hall? In my eyes, your talent is more amazing than all the elders in the Elder Hall combined. If you join the Spirit Hall, I can directly appoint you as the Holy Son and make you a candidate for the next Pope. After I become a god and ascend to the God Realm, you will be the next Pope of the Spirit Hall."

Faced with the temptation of power, Tang San remained silent for a while, then sighed.

This scene made many people's hearts skip a beat.

Is this a sign of unwillingness?

"Your Holiness, I believe you know that I am not interested in power. Trying to recruit me with power will not succeed." Tang San crossed his arms and bowed deeply to Bibi Dong at a ninety-degree angle, his attitude extremely sincere. "However, joining the Spirit Hall is not out of the question."

Seeing Tang Sanxing's deep bow, Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows slightly, sensing that he might say something shocking, and couldn't help but ask, "What are the conditions?"

"Conquer me!"

Tang San made a startling statement: "Whether it's using force or your personal charm... of course, you don't need to sacrifice your looks. After all, a beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million."

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent. Even the audience watching through the Mother-Child Soul Guiding Camera Sphere were speechless upon witnessing this scene.

Anyone who dares to speak to the Pope like that...

Tang San,

He's the first one!

Tang San dared to say that because he had roughly figured out Bibi Dong's personality and knew that she would never suddenly make a move in such a situation.

After all, people all over the continent are watching, directly or indirectly.

Hmm~ There's a hint of moral blackmail in this.

After a moment of silence, Bibi Dong spoke up: "You are indeed very humorous, and I understand what you mean. Martial power is the voice of a Soul Master. The strong can arrange the fate of the weak, while personal charisma can be said to be wisdom... Martial power and wisdom are both necessary for a ruler to be supported by excellent ministers, but excellent ministers will also choose excellent rulers."

"I acknowledge your excellence, but challenging me is a provocation against the Spirit Hall!"

"If I were to punish you, how would you appease my anger?"

Without hesitation, Tang San said, "How about we use these three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones that the Heaven Dou Royal Team won as compensation?"

Bibi Dong's breath hitched.

These three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones originally belonged to the Spirit Hall, but as a championship prize, they now belong to the Heaven Dou Royal Team. Using them as compensation can indeed offset Tang San's transgression.

After all, even titled Douluo covet soul bones of the ten-thousand-year level.

However, for some reason, she always felt that Tang San in front of her was extremely annoying and wanted to teach him a lesson. But she just couldn't bring herself to hate him. It was like an elder's tolerance for a younger person's mischief and naughtiness. Is this what is called an "interesting soul"?

"Three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones are indeed enough, but can you make decisions on behalf of the entire Heaven Dou Royal Team?" Bibi Dong questioned.

"Can!"

Below, all members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team, whether they were on the field or not, spoke in unison.

"Your Holiness, did you hear that?" Tang San smiled slightly. "I can make the decision... So, now, could you, the supreme expert standing at the pinnacle of Soul Masters, please give me, this junior, some guidance?"

Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze from the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, and upon hearing Tang San's compliment, sighed, "You are a captain with great personal charisma, and I admire your wisdom and courage. However, as a Soul King, challenging the pinnacle of the continent—do you lack self-awareness?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong unleashed her immense aura, a force as overwhelming as a tidal wave, causing the airflow on the entire mountainside to become turbulent.

Countless powerful figures present lowered their heads in fear. Only those at the Title Douluo level could grit their teeth and withstand the immense pressure, trying to look at Bibi Dong.

To the shock of these titled powerhouses, Tang San actually withstood the pressure and looked directly at Bibi Dong.

"Indeed interesting." Bibi Dong withdrew her imposing aura and smiled slightly. "To be able to withstand my pressure, your physical body has already reached the level of a Title Douluo, hasn't it?"

"Your Holiness, I have always been self-aware, and besides—"

Tang San clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed at a forty-five-degree angle, saying, "If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

"good!"

Bibi Dong was deeply shocked—"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening." The young man before her was a true master of theory, and his heart was also incredibly resolute.

Such talent!

Such courage!

How could we not grant his wish?

The two arrived at the "Douluo Continent" venue, and everyone else left.

Bibi Dong said, "In this contest, I... will not use soul skills or martial souls. My soul power can be suppressed to below level 95. What do you think?"

Level 95 and above...

This proves that Bibi Dong acknowledges that Tang San, as a Soul King, already possesses the strength to contend with a Title Douluo, and should at least be able to hold his own for a while.

"This junior believes that Your Holiness could raise your soul power to a higher level, for example, level ninety-eight." Tang San released the Blue Silver Emperor, revealing five soul rings: one yellow, two purple, one black, and one red. The five soul rings began to interlock in a peculiar way, with larger rings nested within smaller ones. "Give me a little time to prepare, and I will possess the strength that will not disappoint you."

Noticing the qualitative leap in Tang San's soul power fluctuations after the first and second soul rings were inlaid, Bibi Dong's expression turned slightly serious, but she still smiled and said, "Of course, as long as you don't need an afternoon to prepare."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Holiness."

Tang San thanked him, and the third, fourth, and fifth spirit rings were then fitted onto the rings. The five spirit rings were interlocked, rotating clockwise and counterclockwise from the inside out.

Moreover, intricate patterns slowly emerged on the spirit rings, subtly combining with each other to form a unified whole.

The Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul also grew wildly, enveloping Tang San's entire body and transforming into pieces of silver-blue armor. Chest armor, shoulder armor, waist guard, battle skirt, leg armor, and battle boots were all complete, tightly fitting his body as if they were an extension of his body, extremely magnificent.

The spirit ring, formed by the fusion of five spirit rings, changed color, turning golden and blue. A phantom of a Blue Silver Emperor appeared in its center, with twelve long leaves spreading out, bypassing the gaps and extending outwards, emitting blue and white energy that made Tang San appear divine.

The intense life force emanating from it covered the entire area, causing blue silver grass to grow all around, and the nearby spectators also felt refreshed and relaxed.

But what shocked those Title Douluos even more was that Tang San's soul power fluctuations had reached the level of a Title Douluo, and were extremely close to level ninety-six!

"At the Soul King level, he's comparable to a Title Douluo, and at level 95 at that!" Sword Douluo couldn't help but exclaim. "Although I don't know what's going on with Tang San's current state, or how long he can maintain this strength, he's already on par with us Title Douluos. Is this the true weight of a master of Martial Soul theory?"

Poison Douluo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, "Fortunately, back at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, when I said I would give him pointers and have a match after he finished his cultivation, it was just talk, and I didn't actually fight. Otherwise, I might have really lost."

The others were at a loss for words, and could only stare blankly at the fourteen-year-old boy who had surpassed most of them. They felt amazement, envy, and shock, but jealousy was the least of their feelings.

The gap is simply too large.

"Clap clap clap!" Bibi Dong clapped her hands, and five spirit rings—one yellow, three purple, four black, and one red—rose up. She exclaimed in amazement, "I have never seen such a dazzling spirit master. May I ask, what is your technique? It looks like ring fusion?"

"It is indeed a fusion of spirit rings, but I've made some improvements." Tang San smiled faintly. "The skills of each of my spirit rings can be combined with each other, and they all follow the path of life. The fusion method I use is much more powerful than the crude way of sticking spirit rings together in the past."

"In this way, it can be said that all the energy within the spirit ring has been unleashed. It's equivalent to the energy of the five spirit beasts that were the predecessors of the spirit ring being unleashed. And because the energy is so powerful, it will be injected into the martial soul and automatically condense into this energy-shaped armor..."

"I don't understand the specific reasons yet, but I call this process the materialization of martial spirit energy."

"And I call this set of armor:"

"Martial Soul True Body Armor!"

"It is indeed more powerful than a Martial Soul True Body, but there's a time limit, right? Aren't you afraid I'll stall for time?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.

"If His Holiness the Pope has any doubts, then I will naturally explain. Moreover, because of the characteristics that my spirit rings and spirit skills bring to my spirit, my Blue Silver Emperor can draw energy from the earth and also obtain energy from the light of the sun and moon."

Tang San continued to explain, "Therefore, the duration is actually not short. The only thing to consider is whether I can withstand the soul power of a Title Douluo. But it is obvious that my body and mental strength have already reached the Title Douluo level of 95 or above."

"Therefore, Your Holiness need not worry about the younger generation's longevity."

Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows slightly, sensing that Tang San's words had a hidden meaning.

"However, this alone may not satisfy His Holiness the Pope." Tang San raised his left hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared, transforming into Nine Hao. It was connected to Tang San's mind, and its entire body exploded, turning into pieces of purple-gold armor, which were slowly inlaid on the silver-blue battle armor.

Instantly, a purple-gold chimera relief material appeared on the chest of his battle armor. The five heads were attached to the chest, vaguely forming a gluttonous maw. Within it surged the five elements of fire, light, wind, water, and poison, which vaguely formed an extremely destructive power that seemed capable of destroying everything.

After the Nine Heavens Armor was transformed and merged into Tang San's Blue Silver Battle Armor, Tang San's soul power fluctuations increased again, directly reaching level ninety-eight.

At this moment, Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with admiration and longing, and her level 98 soul power surged out, colliding with Tang San's soul power, which carried the aura of life and destruction.

bang——

Bang bang bang!

The collision of their soul powers caused the surrounding air currents to surge, creating endless gales. The entire "Douluo Continent" was left in ruins, and all the onlookers, except for those who were Soul Douluo or higher, retreated, speechless.

Tang San was able to reach such a powerful level by relying on his twin martial souls and his research on the fusion ring, even rivaling a level 98 powerhouse.

In this Douluo Continent, apart from the Spirit Hall, I'm afraid no one can threaten Tang San anymore.

His strength is his greatest asset!

Boom!

Just then, a sonic boom was heard, and "Douluo Continent" was directly split in two. Without anyone seeing the action, Tang San and Bibi Dong collided, their arms intersecting, their soul power bursting out, and surging energy emanating from both of them.

One is gray, enveloping everything as if everything is about to wither; the other is blue-gold, mixed with a little purple, with a strong vitality, as if it can revive everything, but it also contains a trace of terrifying destructive power, as if it can destroy everything.

"Isn't it a spirit ring/spirit skill?"

Bibi Dong sensed a subtle merging trend between her soul power and Tang San's soul power, and immediately understood—

If she doesn't use the Soul Devouring Spider King, and Tang San doesn't use that peculiar Clear Sky Hammer, and we only analyze it from the perspective of the Death Spider King and the Blue Silver Emperor, one is death and the other is life. Since their attributes are different but relative, as long as they are balanced, they can unleash the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

According to Tang San's three categories of spirit fusion skills, it is spirit skill fusion.

However, this is not the time to consider these things.

"Now, my soul power is comparable to His Holiness the Pope's. Since His Holiness the Pope doesn't use it, neither do I." Tang San smiled politely, but inwardly he was secretly shocked: "The inheritors of the gods are indeed beyond the measure of ordinary standards. Their physical strength is comparable to the Jade Bone Golden Muscle Body I achieved by cultivating the Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Technique. For experts above level 95, each level of soul power increase requires not only sufficient mental strength but also double the total soul power of all previous levels. To withstand such a large amount of soul power, the physical body must naturally be strong. It seems I must finish this quickly."

"Brother Eli, be prepared when the time comes."

Electrolux nodded: "Don't worry, with me here, how could anything go wrong? The soul in this woman's body is somewhat mixed, and her methods of manipulating death and the soul are too crude..."
