Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 250 Encountering Huo Wu and Acting Righteously

"This is a general overview of Ling Tang Soul Guidance Technology Co., Ltd." After introducing Ling Xi to the other managers in the company, Tang San led Ling Xi to carefully inspect the situation of each department, and then gave a plan, saying, "In the future, this place will also need to open up a Soul Guidance Technology Research Department, a Talent Recruitment Department, and so on, but that's a matter for later. There's no need to rush. People nowadays can't accept overly advanced ideas."

Lingxi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, after all, just understanding the meaning of the novel words Tang San used was already making her a little anxious.

This is not too advanced.

That was incredibly advanced!

"Understood, Your Excellency." But Lingxi eventually understood and accepted Tang San's new concepts and developed a deep respect for him.

"Don't think I'm so great. I only know the basics in this area and I'm not particularly good at it. The specifics will depend on your efforts and the efforts of everyone else here." Tang San shook his head. "However, there's one thing you need to remember: there's only one management system here. The capable rise, the mediocre fall. Anyone who steals, cheats, or tries to cheat will have their wages settled and be kicked out."

"As for veteran employees... people are not heartless creatures after all, but if an incompetent old hand uses his so-called 'seniority' to suppress a talented and capable newcomer, then there is no need to sympathize with the old man too much. Just follow the rules."

"We don't need seniority based on time, but rather on experience in knowledge, wisdom, and inspiration."

Lingxi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Although this makes a lot of sense, wouldn't it discourage those 'old folks' if we really did it?"

"We're not a sect or a family here. You work for me, and I pay you accordingly. It's just an employment relationship. They don't need to risk their lives for us," Tang San said calmly. "The wages here are the highest in the entire city. For example, the gatekeepers in other places, even in a royal or noble learning place like Yuexuan, only earn about a hundred silver soul coins a month."

"Here, a regular worker assembling a soul tool can earn fifty gold soul coins a month. To enjoy this high salary, you need to have the corresponding ability, otherwise you should give up your position to someone with the ability."

"This is true fairness."

At this point, Tang San paused for a moment, then continued, "If you place too much emphasis on so-called 'sentiments,' then that is the beginning of a power's decay."

"Of course, if the so-called seniority is using 'seniority' to bully people, I can take care of old friendships and, after firing them, compensate them double for all the wages they earned in the past. That would be more than enough for me... Maybe if I do this, many people will secretly say I'm a big fool."

Lingxi laughed out loud, then immediately apologized, saying, "The Earl is truly kind."

"Kindness? It's nothing but self-interest." Tang San sighed, then said sarcastically, "By the way, when I said 'the capable rise, the mediocre fall,' that included you too. If you can't manage things well, I might replace you with someone else."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will definitely manage Ling Tang Soul Guidance Technology Co., Ltd. well!" Ling Xi's smile vanished, her eyes sharpening. "You have shown me great kindness, and I will certainly live up to your expectations. I am even willing to give you everything, including my body and soul!"

This sounds... like she's lusting after his body.

Sure enough, I'm just too charming!

"In that case, you can stay here and familiarize yourself with the place for a while. I'll head back now," Tang San instructed. "As the manor's steward, you only need to arrange what the servants in the manor will do the next day before eight o'clock every night. The responsibility isn't heavy. And with other people assisting you in managing this place, you currently have a lot of free time, which is enough time to cultivate your soul power."

"Come here after 10 o'clock every day from now on. Before 10 o'clock, I can teach you and Reimu some techniques for controlling your soul power, blood energy, and even mental power, as well as train your martial arts skills."

"Now that I've become a Soul Master, having only Soul Power isn't enough. I need to learn some combat skills to improve myself; that's definitely the right thing to do."

"Of course, I also need to collect some of your data, so that we can each get what we need."

Lingxi was deeply moved, feeling that she and her daughter had been blessed with good fortune. Not only were they respected by the Earl, but they were also able to cultivate their soul power and even gain the Earl's favor.

I really wish I could—

I'll repay you with my body!

"Oh, and one last thing: don't wrong yourself. Until you make an unforgivable mistake, I will always be your strong support..."

Instantly, Lingxi's heart pounded in her chest, and her pupils seemed to turn into hearts. Only one thought occupied her mind: Was the Earl confessing his love to her? Should she accept, accept, or accept? Oh dear, how shy!

"...But don't think that just because I'm behind you you can do whatever you want. If you do that, I will punish you severely."

Lingxi's face flushed red o(*////▽////*)q: "Punishment?"

"It's not what you think." Tang San, who immediately saw what Lingxi was thinking, was speechless and secretly sighed that he had underestimated this handsome face.

Or perhaps the side effects of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Condensing Ring Method are really quite significant, allowing a person's mindset to return to a youthful state... Is this really a side effect?

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I got carried away." Lingxi had calmed down by now, but there was still a blush on her face, which was due to embarrassment.

However, Tang San didn't bring it up again. He gave a few more instructions and then left.

"Brother Elixir, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Ring Condensation Technique is currently only suitable for Soul Masters like Lingxi and Lingmeng, whose Martial Soul and Body have been fused and materialized. It's not universally applicable, and it seems a bit difficult to use it on other Soul Masters and myself." On the way back, Tang San discussed this matter with Elixir.

"Indeed, before your Martial Soul has materialized, condensing such a Soul Ring is a big problem for you, not to mention that you have three Martial Souls. You can put the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon aside for now, but the other two are not very suitable for the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Soul Ring Condensation Method." Electrox also discovered the limitations of this method.

However, it's not impossible to cultivate oneself.

According to Electrolux's idea, Tang San could then condense a corresponding Blood Ring, Soul Power Ring, and Spirit Ring around each of the three after condensing the Blood Core, Soul Power Core, and Spiritual Core.

"Is that so?" Tang San pondered. "It does seem possible. The energy flow and circulation within the human body is limited. If we condense three corresponding 'rings' and construct more complex and sophisticated energy flow and transformation circuits within them, perhaps my three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit can be transformed more perfectly."

"That's the point. Although the human body is still very complex, the transformation between the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit will always be incomplete if we rely solely on the human body. It would be better to condense a corresponding 'ring' for each of the three treasures, and we can construct various energy flow circuits within them." Electrox once again marveled at the wonder and magnificence of this world, and then said, "In this way, the energy flow routes in the stellar realm, the formation trajectory of the Zhou Tian Star Array, the divine patterns of the phoenix beast within the Phoenix Tree, and so on, that we recorded before can have a greater experimental space."

"However, this will have to wait until I condense my Golden Core, Heart Core, and Spiritual Rank." Tang San understood that no matter how wonderful the theoretical derivation was, it still needed the corresponding experimental conditions afterward; otherwise, it would just be empty talk.

"Why are you getting involved?"

Just then, a commotion arose ahead, attracting the attention of passersby.

Hearing the familiar voices, Tang San, out of curiosity, pushed through the crowd and discovered that it was Dai Mubai and Huo Wu. Nearby stood the two sisters, Mu Yanluo and Mu Qiluo.

The two of them looked somewhat embarrassed, but their gazes toward Dai Mubai were filled with both fear and resentment.

The one who shouted was Dai Mubai.

After the Continental Elite Tournament ended, Dai Mubai, although he had graduated from Shrek Academy, did not leave the academy, as he still could not face his good older brother.

"What do you mean by 'joining in the fun'?" Huo Wu put one hand on her hip, sneered, "You're harassing an innocent woman in the street, and I can't even do anything about it? If this weren't Tian Dou City, I wouldn't be wasting my breath on a playboy like you."

For now, it's a civil dispute. But if they take physical action, the Spirit Hall and the patrol and security teams of Heaven Dou City will have to get involved.

"They're my girlfriends. I was just chatting with them. What do you mean by harassing them?" Dai Mubai reached out to hug the two women, but they dodged him, their eyes filled with anger as they looked at him.

"Heh, you call this a girlfriend?" Huo Wu laughed angrily. "Everyone here can see that they're not close to you at all, they're even afraid of you... Come on, you two, tell me, are you this peerless lecherous tiger's girlfriends?"

Mu Yanluo hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward, stood up, stared at Dai Mubai, and said, "We have already broken up. Please don't bother my sister and me anymore, and don't flatter yourselves. My sister and I didn't come to Tiandou City to find you."

Mu Qiluo glared fiercely at Dai Mubai and echoed her sister, "Sister is right, we have absolutely nothing to do with you now."

Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically, becoming extremely unpleasant.

In this world, he's the one who dumps others; no one else dumps him.

When he left Soto, he didn't say goodbye to the two women... He didn't abandon them!

At first, when he saw the two women, he thought they had come all the way from Soto City to find him, and that they were quite bold... But now, the two women actually said they wanted to dump him, which was simply unforgivable!

As the aura of a Soul Master emanated, Huo Wu also revealed a trace of Soul King-level Soul Power fluctuations, mockingly saying, "Oh, you've already broken up, and you still want to force yourself? Hurry up and make your move, then I can also make my move legitimately and take you to the Spirit Hall for punishment. At that time, it won't just be you who loses face, but also the royal family of the Star Luo Empire."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai finally calmed down, glared at Huo Wu, turned and left, finally saying to the two women, "Hmph, without me, let's see how you survive in this Heaven Dou City—"

"Being someone else's maid, being ordered around without complaint; or being my woman, Dai Mubai's woman, being pampered?"

"The choice is yours!"
