Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 286 Gu Yuena's Confession: I want a hundred!

Tang San wasn't particularly skilled with guns, but he wasn't completely clueless either. After all, he had sparred with the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters during his six years in Notting City and had learned a thing or two.

Furthermore, this is Wuhun City. As the Holy Son, it would be more than enough for him to summon several Soul Masters skilled in using spears to teach Gu Yuena.

In the past two years of practice, Gu Yuena has made great progress in her marksmanship and gained a deeper understanding of human intelligence.

Although none of these humans could surpass her in terms of strength and elemental power, their skill in wielding a gun and their control over force were unmatched by her, and even the Dragon God could not compare.

Or rather, the Dragon God didn't consider such details at all, relying solely on his overwhelming power, and rarely even using elemental powers.

"Phew~"

After practicing with the spear more than ten times, Gu Yuena stopped, dismissed the servants who were instructing her, and walked towards Tang San, who seemed to be deep in thought, asking, "How's my progress?"

"You know I'm not good with a gun, but in terms of speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy, you've already met the standard. With your Soul Master level strength, you should be invincible among your peers, or even able to fight against opponents of higher levels."

Tang San commented, "However, to truly master marksmanship, one must experience it on the battlefield; real combat is always the best teacher."

"Unfortunately, the time for war to break out has not yet come."

"even--"

Whether war can break out in the Douluo Continent, which has been gradually changed by his influence, remains to be seen.

In the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, has gained the trust of Emperor Xue Ye and has begun to take charge of Heaven Dou affairs. Xue Beng, having lost a finger and suffering from limb deformities, is no longer a contender.

Her ascension to the throne of the Heavenly Dou Emperor is already a foregone conclusion. The only remaining issues are whether the Snow Night Emperor is poisoned or directly abdicates.

As for the Star Luo Empire, it is currently imitating the development of Wuhun City, mainly by establishing an institution to research soul tools, but it has indeed been opposed by many families.

On the surface, the Spirit Hall is researching soul tools that benefit people's daily lives. Soul masters won't object too much, since these kinds of tools do enrich and facilitate their daily needs.

The Star Luo Empire openly researches weapon-type soul tools, and has even developed a soul tool bomb that can explode. It was discovered by a researcher who accidentally combined two unrelated soul tool circuits and found that injecting soul power would continuously condense soul power, and then explode with a "bang".

Therefore, the relevant personnel began to study the explosion, and eventually developed a soul-guided bomb the size of an orange, whose explosive power covered an area of ​​about five meters in radius.

It may not sound like much, but the power of the explosion was something even a Soul Master would find hard to withstand!

In addition to the explosive damage, the secondary damage caused by the fragments ejected during the explosion of this soul-guided bomb is even more troublesome.

This can be considered a powerful weapon in war!

However, this offensive soul tool also greatly aroused the resentment of the major families of the Star Luo Empire.

They built their family on their powerful martial spirits, and now a soul-guided bomb can blow a Soul Master to pieces. How can they accept this?

Although some of the higher-ups in these families must understand that the Spirit Hall is also researching soul tools with offensive capabilities, people always have a sense of wishful thinking.

What if the Spirit Hall hasn't done any research?

Moreover, the Star Luo Empire needs to be most wary of the Heaven Dou Empire!

At the very least, the emergence of soul-guided weapons has diminished the influence of these families and threatened their real-world position within the Star Luo Empire.

Therefore, all the major families in the Star Luo Empire are opposing the Soul Guidance Research Institutes established by the Dai and Zhu families, and some chaos has already begun to emerge...

"So the situation on the mainland is this complicated." Gu Yuena listened in a daze, put away the Silver Dragon Spear, and thought to herself: In this respect, the soul beasts are more simple.

"In the end, it all boils down to one thing: everyone has selfish desires." Tang San patted Gu Yuena's head. "It's just a matter of the degree and extent of selfishness. Selfless people are extremely rare in this world."

Gu Yuena felt that she was quite selfless. For the future of the soul beast race, she had even given up a part of her essence to condense this clone, and she still had to accept this guy's lecture.

If Tang San knew what she was thinking, he would definitely scoff.

After all, although the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest all recognized her as their sovereign, it was unknown how many of them would genuinely express their gratitude afterward.

"Speaking of which, didn't you have some suspicions about my identity?" Gu Yuena's expression suddenly turned serious, a silver halo appeared in her purple eyes, and her aura became heavier.

"Do you want the truth or a lie?" To Gu Yuena's surprise, Tang San did not become serious. He seemed certain that she would not make a move, and instead showed a hint of interest.

Gu Yuena immediately realized that her identity had been guessed to some extent, but considering that the other party had no intention of harming her, she dissipated her aura and asked speechlessly, "How do you tell a lie?"

"You are a girl with extraordinary talent." Tang San said without hesitation.

"Hmph!" Gu Yuena turned her head away, snorted coldly, and said, "Do you know what my true identity is?"

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form?" Tang San blinked.

"Did the rabbit tell you that?" Gu Yuena asked curiously how Tang San had guessed her identity. "She's quite clever; she was able to see through my disguise."

In fact, Gu Yuena didn't really believe that Xiao Wu could see through her true form.

Even with only a portion of the original essence, I am still a god!

How could a mere Soft Bone Rabbit possibly see through it? Only the person in front of me, who possesses an extremely powerful dragon-type martial soul, could sense some of her secrets.

"Xiao Wu did guess a bit, but I mainly confirmed it myself. After all, as a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, you initially had more beastly instincts. Although the people at the Luo Wang Auction House gave you the setting of 'growing up in the wild,' generally speaking, children raised by wild beasts are basically unable to adapt to human society and have extremely poor learning abilities." Tang San wasn't sure if the situation from his previous life would apply to Douluo Continent, but it was fine to use it to fool Gu Yuena at this moment, since she didn't know the specifics either.

Information asymmetry is everywhere.

Sure enough, Gu Yuena was stunned, her face falling: "Damn it, did I not expect my learning ability to be exposed?"

"No, more importantly, I don't really believe that anyone could be chosen by the so-called Silver Dragon God in their childhood." Tang San revealed the truth. "I was just talking nonsense, and now you've said it yourself."

Gu Yuena, her face dark, said coldly, "Humans are truly cunning!"

"Don't be angry, how about I take you to Wuhun City to buy candied hawthorns?" Tang San comforted her.

Am I the kind of person who likes to eat?

Gu Yuena turned her head away, her face flushed with anger, and said, "I want a hundred!"
