Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 249 Lingtang Technology Co., Ltd.

At this moment, Gu Yuena, lost in thought, was completely unaware that her many questions might arouse Tang San's suspicion and doubt about her identity.

Fortunately, Tang San already knew Gu Yuena's identity, but he simply didn't reveal it.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Five minutes later, Lingmeng ran back and excitedly hugged Tang San. She kissed Tang San's lips with lightning speed, then quickly jumped away, maintaining the dignity of a servant, though her face was flushed red, like a ripe apple.

It's no wonder she was excited; anyone who could directly become a Soul Master from a Soul Warrior would feel the same way.

Although this peculiar soul ring did not grant her any soul skills, Lingmeng could sense that the soul ring was one with her and could continuously evolve with her cultivation level. In fact, every time she circulated her soul power in a specific way, the three flowers in the soul ring would open and close slightly, as if they were pulsating, helping her to refine the energy of heaven and earth more quickly.

With her innate talent of full soul power, becoming a Title Douluo within fifty years is not a pipe dream!

As for the issue of Soul Skills, Reimu didn't care.

With her titled soul power, she was capable of dealing with most soul masters. Moreover, she was now a maid at the Silver Blue Manor. Although her indenture had been torn up, the Earl was keeping her and her mother as servants.

But how could we not repay such a kindness?

She even considered giving herself to him... However, over the past two days, she realized one thing: the Earl was a sentimental person. He might joke with her a little later, but without time to let emotions settle, he wouldn't be as lustful as other nobles. He would just be making harmless little jokes.

Just like the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Lingmeng could tell that she also had feelings for the Earl, but the Earl's relationship with her was not as close as that with Xiaowu and Guangling.

As for Miss Lan Yinzi, Lingmeng wasn't quite sure what her relationship with Tang San was...

"No need to thank me. I just had a sudden idea and wanted you to try it out. It's just that it's successful now." Tang San interrupted Ling Meng's thoughts and talked about the precautions for future cultivation. "When you reach level 40 in your cultivation, the key to breaking through is to use the three energies of soul power, blood qi, and spirit together to shatter the chains."

"You've already experienced the benefits of breaking the chains, haven't you? It allows the energy of heaven and earth to be directly channeled into your body, reducing the time needed to cultivate your soul power."

"However, I estimate that each time you break through the chains, you will need twice the energy of the previous one."

Just like a ferocious beast undergoing tribulation, Reimu's situation is equivalent to a humanoid ferocious beast. However, she does not need to endure heavenly tribulation. As long as she is not killed and continues to cultivate, she can theoretically live indefinitely.

Unfortunately, most people with mutated martial souls like her cannot break through level ten in soul power because they lack suitable cultivation methods. Most of them die young, often being toyed with and killed.

"I'm already very happy that I can cultivate, so how could I dare to ask for anything else?" Lingmeng shook her head, not minding this at all, her eyes full of admiration for Tang San.

Next, Tang San tested Lingmeng's soul power attribute, which was wind attribute.

Next, he had someone call Lingxi over to help examine her body. Then, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, just like when he condensed a soul ring for Lingmeng, he condensed a three-flower-gathering-top-shaped soul ring for her.

However, the flower representing soul power was a mixture of blue and white.

Tests have shown that Lingxi's soul power attribute is lightning.

This mother and daughter, one thunderous and the other breezy, complement each other perfectly.

"Thank you, Earl." After condensing her soul ring, Lingxi's soul power reached level 49, just one step away from becoming a Soul King.

Besides the infusion of heaven and earth energy that shattered her shackles, it was also because she had never neglected her cultivation over the years. With the idea that "even if the soul power she cultivated could not break through her realm, it could still improve her physical fitness," she worked tirelessly day after day, month after month, year after year. Only then was she able to become a Soul Master with Tang San's help.

Lingxi even had a feeling that after this peculiar soul ring condensed, her soul and body were as if they had been cleansed and renewed, returning to their virginal purity.

It's like being reborn!

For her, this feeling was wonderful, as if she had returned to her teenage years, regained her true youth, and even her soul had become younger!

When Lingxi and Lingmeng stand together now, they don't look like mother and daughter at all, but rather like a pair of shy and lovely twin sisters!

That's truly incredible!

"Lingmeng, you watch over Gu Yuena. I'll take your mother to the Soul Tool Production Workshop in Tiandou City," Tang San instructed, then said to Lingxi, "Let's go and see if you really have a talent for management."

"This humble woman will certainly not disappoint Your Excellency the Earl." Lingxi smiled gracefully, bowed slightly, her posture quite dignified, yet with a touch of playfulness.

It's as if my body and mind have been cleansed, and my personality has become more lively.

It seems that forming one's own soul rings does have some side effects...

Tang San, lost in thought, left the manor with Ling Xi and headed to the small workshop in Tian Dou City that produced soul tools.

Although it's called a small workshop, it's actually quite large, covering an area of ​​2,000 square meters and employing more than 100 people, who are roughly divided into three categories: the financial management department, the purchasing department, and the assembly line building department.

As for the final sale, most of the goods were transported to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and handled by its assets, while a small portion was sold in small shops within Tiandou City at more affordable prices.

"Ling Tang Soul Guidance Technology Co., Ltd." Lingxi looked up and saw these words on the signboard outside the workshop. She was puzzled. "Technology, company... what does that mean?"

"Technology is something that can change the world, and you can think of a company as a kind of workshop." Tang San explained the meaning of the two in a language that Ling Xi could understand. He then continued, "Originally, it should be called a limited company, but after thinking about it carefully, I don't need to stick to reality. I'll just take the word 'infinite,' which means that soul guide technology is limitless. I also welcome anyone with the same vision to join Ling Tang Soul Guide Technology Infinite Company."

"I see." Lingxi seemed to understand, then asked, "What does Lingtang mean?"

"Ling, Guangling; Tang, Tang San." Tang San patiently explained, "It means that this is a joint creation of Guangling and me. Moreover, since it was Guangling who researched the soul guidance camera, the photography box, and the mother-child soul guidance photography sphere, I only provided some theoretical support. The main research was done by her. Therefore, we call her Ling Tang, and she is ranked before me."

Lingxi chuckled and said, "【Ling Tang】sounds better than 【Tang Ling】; the latter sounds like a person's name."

Upon entering Lingtang Technology Co., Ltd., the security guard saw Tang San and immediately approached him, saying, "I'm sorry, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter here. No matter how well you disguise yourself, it's not permitted."

Tang San, feeling both amused and exasperated, could only extend his right hand, releasing his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul and the five Soul Rings, and ask, "It seems that while I was away from Heaven Dou, quite a few people have tried to imitate me and infiltrate this place."

"Your Excellency, it really is you!" The gatekeeper was immediately terrified, and his shouts attracted the attention of the nearby staff.

"Your Excellency, it was my negligence in supervising him. I'll fire him immediately." The steward first smiled obsequiously at Tang San, then immediately berated the trembling gatekeeper, "You blind fool, can't you even tell the difference between the real and the fake? How can anyone disguise themselves so perfectly that their appearance and demeanor are identical? You can't even tell? Don't come back tomorrow..."

Tang San raised his hand to stop the other person from continuing, saying, "They were just doing their job, what wrong have they done?"

"This..." The steward was dumbfounded. In his previous stints as a steward, he had always reprimanded his subordinates in front of the master in similar situations, deducted their wages for the month, and kicked them out. This was the first time he had ever encountered a master who spoke up for a servant who had made a mistake.

"How much does he earn per month?" Tang San asked.

"Two hundred silver soul coins per month," the manager replied.

"Two hundred a month is barely enough to make ends meet in Tiandou City, where every inch of land is precious," Tang San analyzed. "His wages have doubled to five hundred a month."

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" The gatekeeper was overjoyed. He thought he was going to lose his job, but he didn't expect to get a raise.

"However, this three hundred isn't free," Tang San said with a faint smile. "Giving you a three hundred raise for no reason might make the other guards jealous. Therefore, I'll give you two choices: First, you take five hundred this month, and your wages will revert to two hundred thereafter; second, I'll promote you to guard captain, managing all the guards at the east gate. Are you confident in your abilities?"

The security guard looked thoughtful, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll just take this month's."

He knew he wasn't cut out for managing other people.

"Alright." Tang San nodded, asked the manager to give him three hundred silver soul coins in advance, and then led Lingxi into the financial management department of Soul Guide Technology Unlimited Company.

"Your Excellency, that steward seems a bit arrogant?" Lingxi asked.

"Perhaps he's just afraid I'll blame him, so he's exaggerating the situation and shifting the blame onto that person outside the door." Tang San saw through it all. "Next time, you should observe him again. Follow the 'no more than three times' principle. If you see him being overly critical of his subordinates more than three times in a month, fire him."

"Understood." Lingxi indicated that she understood.

Subsequently, Tang San summoned all personnel from the finance department and announced that Lingxi would become the head of Lingtang Technology Co., Ltd., responsible for all affairs of the entire company.

Lingxi's sudden intrusion naturally caused resentment among some, but when Tang San revealed that Lingxi was a level 49 Soul Master, everyone was convinced.

Soul Masters are the most prestigious profession on the continent!

Tang San couldn't change this mindset, and it was also a good thing for Lingxi, as it could greatly reduce the occurrence of subordinates being two-faced.

As long as Lingxi doesn't become obsessed with the privileges that come with her power...
