Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 235 Luo Wang Auction House: Humanoid Soul Beast?

"Since Earl Silverblue has spoken, I will give him face." Xuexing had no choice but to sit down and stop making offers. She was just thinking about why Tang San was here.

Didn't he go back to his hometown to visit relatives?

After visiting relatives, we should go directly to Wuhun City. Why did we come to Tiandou City again?

It couldn't be that she did it specifically to oppose him, could it?

There's no animosity between them...

Unable to understand, Xuexing decided not to think about it anymore, but it was a pity that she couldn't have the pair of catwomen in front of her... Damn it, was she really destined to be without such rare treasures?

This is the second time someone has caused trouble!

The auctioneer shouted, "Sixteen thousand each time!"

"Seventeen thousand." Ning Fengzhi spoke up at this moment, but deliberately lowered his voice, naturally so as not to reveal his identity in the crowd.

Someone actually dares to compete with Earl Silverblue?

Everyone looked at Ning Fengzhi, who was dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask. They didn't know who he was, but they figured he must have some confidence.

"180,000." Tang Sandai Xiaowu raised the price, and Chao Ningfengzhi nodded slightly.

Why did Ning Fengzhi do that?

It wasn't that she had her eye on Catwoman, but rather that she wanted to prevent Tang San from being labeled as someone who bullies the weak.

Xue Xing had previously revealed her identity and used her power and status to intimidate others. Although Tang San stopped Xue Xing, his display of strength would also affect the mindset of the others when making their bids.

Ning Fengzhi did this to save Tang San's face.

In this way, people will only see Tang San as wealthy and powerful, rather than as someone who uses force to suppress others.

As for the matter of buying slaves...

Various sects and families would buy slaves to serve as servants, and this was not criticized, as there was no concept of "human rights" in this era.

After 180,000, several more people made bids, and the final price was set at 200,000.

"Two hundred thousand per time!"

"Two hundred thousand twice!"

"Two hundred thousand three times!"

"Congratulations to the customer in room number three for successfully acquiring these catgirls!"

The auctioneer shouted excitedly, both thrilled that the catwoman had been sold for such a high price and excited to see Earl Silver in person.

That's—

A master of martial spirit theory!

Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!

Earl Silver Blue!

The teacher of the Soul Tool Master "Sun Chaser"!

And, the captain of the champion team of the new Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!

When the catwoman dressed as a maid was brought before Tang San, Tang San swiped his card, unlocked their shackles, returned their indentures, and said, "Now, you are free..."

"Please don't send us away!" the older catwoman pleaded, pulling the younger one down to her knees. "We're willing to work on your estate!"

"Don't be so nervous."

Tang San helped them up. "You're free, but that doesn't mean I'm sending you away. I can hire you... What are your names?"

"Reporting to the Soul Master, my name is Lingxi, and my daughter's name is Lingmeng."

"Very nice names," Tang San complimented, without asking what they had done before or why they had become slaves. He simply asked, "Regarding the management of the manor, do you, or rather, do you know how to do it?"

"My lord, I will. Before becoming a slave, I was the steward of the Tianmao family," Lingxi hurriedly said. "The Tianmao family is very small. Before being wiped out by our enemies, there were only thirteen direct descendants in the family. Therefore, you may not have heard of it."

"Tmall?" Tang San nodded, then suddenly asked, "So, do you know how to do business? My Silver Blue Manor will be mostly empty, so you should have more free time in the future. In Heaven Dou City, besides being business partners with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I also own a legitimate workshop that produces soul tools. Can you manage it?"

"I can give it a try." Lingxi's eyes lit up, as if she had ideas about managing shops or workshops, but considering that she had only just met this handsome young man, she didn't speak too confidently.

"Then, I now formally hire you as the housekeeper of Silverblue Manor." Tang San smiled and introduced the others to her, "These two are Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, who are also the owners of Silverblue Manor. This is Lan Yinzi. Hmm~ In the future, you can listen to some of her reasonable suggestions, and ignore the unreasonable ones."

Lan Yinzi protested, "Hey, is this kind of differential treatment necessary? Even with my physical condition... I'm still a member of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team!"

Ignoring Lan Yinzi's "lively" demeanor, Tang San continued introducing the other four: "These are Fan Niu and Fan Ma, who will serve as the captains of the manor's guards in the future. And these two are... I don't know your names yet."

The elder sister said, "My lord, my name is Mu Yanluo."

The younger sister said, "My lord, my name is Mu Qiluo."

"These two will also be working for the manor from now on." After saying that, Tang San asked about the mother and daughter's soul power level: "What is your soul power level?"

Lingxi said, "My lord, my innate soul power is level eight."

"Level eight?" Tang San's eyes flickered slightly. "If that's the case, your cultivation talent should be quite good. At your age, even if you've neglected your studies, your soul power should at least be over level thirty, right? Wait, your physical body seems comparable to a Soul Master..."

With his powerful mental strength, Tang San sensed that Lingxi's physical condition was far superior to that of ordinary people, and the same was true for Lingmeng beside him.

Could it be that the mutation of the beast spirit, its complete fusion with the human body, and its solidification and fixation would cause the cultivated spirit power to act entirely on the physical body, thus becoming undetectable to others?

Moreover, such an improvement seems to not require absorbing a soul ring.

However, without creating their own soul skills or being able to release their soul power, their strength is indeed much weaker than that of soul masters.

"This...we don't know either." Lingxi shook her head. "I've actually been cultivating all these years, but every time my soul power increases to level ten, it inexplicably surges through my body and merges into my physique. Although it makes my body stronger, I can never obtain a soul ring and become a soul master."

"But there is one advantage, which is that my appearance has not changed since I turned twenty. Now I am almost forty years old, but I still look about twenty years old."

"My daughter was born with full soul power. After reaching level ten, her soul power will disappear and merge into her body. Therefore, after being tested as having full innate soul power, she directly became zero innate soul power. However, she can start cultivating again, and her cultivation speed is no different from that of the legendary full innate soul power. But after cultivating to level ten, it will disappear again... She will never be able to obtain a soul ring."

"Like me, they are all cursed."

"However, my daughter and I have been practicing, which at least helps improve our physical fitness."

As Tang San listened to Lingxi's description, his expression gradually became strange.

Feel--

These two don't look like humans; rather, they are humanoid soul beasts.

When soul power reaches level ten, it will merge into the physical body... Strengthening physical fitness may only be superficial; the real effect is most likely to purify the bloodline purity of the martial soul that is materialized in the physical body.

However, as humans, without obtaining a soul ring, one cannot advance to the next realm; each time, one can only accumulate soul power at the Soul Master level, unable to break through this limit.

"I understand your situation and have some guesses. Once we return to Silverblue Manor, I plan to give you a thorough examination. Perhaps your condition isn't a curse, but rather a sign of extraordinary talent that's hard to match!"

Tang San believed his guess. If the upper limit could be broken, this mother and daughter would definitely be able to forge a different path, and it would be easy for them to rival the strength of a peerless Douluo.

However, the trip to Wuhun City will have to be postponed for a few more days...

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

During the slave auction, Xiao Wu and Guang Ling bought all the slaves they felt sorry for, since Blue Silver Manor also needed to have its own people.

Finally, the little girl, whom the auctioneer called an exceptional specimen, was pushed up by five burly men.

The cage was made of mithril, which was extremely tough, but even so, it was shaken by the little girl, and even the big men were wearing gloves made of refined iron.

Boom!

Suddenly, the little girl bit one of the big men's gloves and pulled hard, tearing off a small section of the finger glove.

Luckily, the big man reached out quickly, otherwise his fingers might have been bitten off!

"Indeed amazing!" Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up, feeling that his guess was correct; the little girl in the cage definitely possessed a hidden talent.

That physique, that face—it's impossible for someone with superhuman strength to have such exquisite features; it's practically a work of art sculpted by nature.

Unable to awaken a martial soul?

It's just that she can't awaken it by ordinary means; her Angelic Martial Soul will definitely help her awaken her Martial Soul!

Tang San narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the silver-haired, purple-eyed girl in the cage, and asked Electrox, "Brother Electrox, did you see anything?"

"It's not human, it's a silver dragon, most likely the Silver Dragon King," Ilex said calmly. "Based on your memories of the Douluo series and the rules of this plane that I've explored, as long as the God Realm still exists, she shouldn't be causing trouble under any circumstances. At most, she'll just let those ferocious beasts out."

"But she..."

After a moment of contemplation, Electrolux seemed to realize something and laughed, "I see. It's incomplete, just a body formed from a part of the origin and the soul, not the true body... Perhaps, it's attracted by you."

"Me?" Tang San frowned slightly, then seemed to realize something. "You mean, the Silver Dragon King expended a portion of its essence and soul because of my third martial soul: the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon?"

"It should be that, with my help, after you obtain your third martial soul, its aura will be felt by all the powerful beings on this continent."

Electrox chuckled and said, "This mother dragon probably sensed it and sent the ferocious beasts to search for it. After failing, she found a way to create a clone herself... Well, it's not really a clone. It has the same memories and soul as the original, but it's much weaker in terms of strength."

At this point, the auctioneer, without keeping everyone in suspense, began the introduction…
