Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 288 The Soul of Wisdom and Spirit Seals the Throne (Part 1)

Time flies like an arrow, passing in the blink of an eye.

Half a year has passed since Gu Yuena confessed to Tang San.

During this period, Tang San's life was very regular—

He cultivated, researched, forged, and assisted Bibi Dong in researching the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit. He planted the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul in Martial Soul City, guided the women in their cultivation, and studied the path of qi and blood with everyone except Gu Yuena at night.

On this very day, Tang San was finally about to complete the forging of his first Divine Throne.

Inside the forging room, Tang San gazed at the completed chair before him. It was entirely black and smooth, but upon closer inspection, countless soul guidance patterns were visible on its surface, and there was a circular groove above the backrest, as if something was missing.

This is a throne forged from patterned metal! And the patterned metal has reached the sixth level of forging, including patterned iron, patterned copper, patterned silver, patterned cloud netting, and patterned mithril.

After testing, these forged metals were found to be able to be combined relatively well, and the six forging patterns between them could be connected to each other. Furthermore, by combining the method for forging the Divine Throne given by Electrolux with the Soul Guidance Device patterns of Douluo Continent, the Divine Throne, which belongs to this world, was created.

"Third Brother, there are only two steps left." Guangling wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled – she had made an indispensable contribution to inscribing the soul guide patterns on the Divine Seal Throne.

"Once the final energy-gathering core is inlaid and the Martial Soul imprint is injected, this throne can be used!"

Compared to the Divine Throne of the Holy Demon Continent, this weapon is not currently inscribed with concepts or laws such as "fear," "protection," "slaughter," "wisdom," or "order." Even the so-called "divine artifact" title is merely a reflection of its powerful abilities that surpass those of ordinary weapons.

However, this divine throne can autonomously absorb the energy of heaven and earth to evolve. In the long years to come, as long as it is not destroyed, it may become a true divine artifact.

It can only be described as a semi-divine artifact now.

According to Tang San's estimation, only a Divine Seal Throne made entirely of seven-patterned forged metal can reach the level of a true divine artifact, while a Divine Seal Throne made of eight-patterned or nine-patterned forged metal should be able to reach the level of a super divine artifact.

"I plan to give this throne to the Spirit Hall. After all, it's thanks to the Spirit Hall that we were able to obtain so many rare ores and metals." Tang San made his decision.

As for whether anyone in the Spirit Hall would use this throne to deal with him in the future, Tang San was not worried. Every piece of patterned metal he forged instinctively felt close to him.

Even if the throne is controlled by others, when facing him, the "creator," they will instinctively reduce their power to the lowest level.

"I'll listen to Third Brother." Guangling was very considerate because she knew that the future would definitely bring them better things.

"Go back and rest first. You've been working hard these past few days. I'll give you a good meal tonight."

Tang San kissed Guang Ling's forehead, making her blush. She said, "Third Brother is so mean. Not only do you make me work during the day, but you also make me exercise at night... If you don't make up for it, I won't let you off the hook."

After Guangling left, Tang San took the throne to the Papal Palace. Along the way, the Spirit Hall guards and knights all showed him respect and bowed.

Tang San didn't put on airs like a holy son; he greeted everyone and even called out the names of all the Spirit Hall members he had met along the way.

This deeply moved and filled the guards with pride!

"Is this the divine artifact you forged?" When Tang San placed the throne in the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong frowned.

Although the throne emanated extremely powerful energy fluctuations and possessed strong spirituality, she didn't understand why it was shaped like a chair.

Wouldn't it be better to make it into armor, or some other weapon?

How can you attack a chair like that?

Or is this chair an auxiliary type that can greatly enhance the strength of a Soul Master?

But sitting on it, isn't that like being a sitting duck?

The four Douluo, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Mo Xiong, and Gui Bao, were also in the Papal Palace, curiously examining the throne and waiting for Tang San's introduction.

"This throne was forged using my own unique pattern forging technique, and the materials are all sixth-level refined metals. It can only be described as a semi-divine artifact," Tang San said confidently. "According to my estimation, as long as one can control this throne, even a Soul King can contend with a Super Douluo of level 95 or above, or even a Peerless Douluo."

hiss--

The four Title Douluos gasped, all eager to try it out, but Tang San continued, "However, this chair is not yet fully completed; two steps are missing."

"What steps?" Bibi Dong asked.

"There's a groove on the back of the chair, missing a core that concentrates energy. This is the core that will add attributes to it," Tang San said, pointing to the groove. "Once it's truly completed, this chair will display its true power. No one except a Title Douluo level expert can resist the pressure it exudes."

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see!" Bibi Dong stood up, leading Tang San and the four Title Douluos out of the Papal Palace. They arrived at the "Douluo Continent" arena, placed the throne before it, and asked, "What does the core require?"

"Soul bone," Tang San said. "Some special metals or ores would also work, but I only have a piece of Life Gold on hand. If I use it, I'm afraid no one in the Spirit Hall can currently gain the approval of a throne with life attributes. Therefore, I ask Your Holiness to use a soul bone instead."

Soul bones are treasures dropped by soul beasts. They contain the skills of the soul beast in its previous life and must contain the most original attributes of the soul beast. Moreover, the material of the soul bone itself can also be used to store energy.

As for the issue of the soul bone not matching the groove... the six forging patterns inside the Divine Throne, as well as the soul guide patterns constructed by Tang San and Guang Ling, can absorb the energy of heaven and earth to refine the soul bone into a shape that matches the groove.

According to Lan Yinzi, Xiao Wu, and Gu Yuena, the type of soul bone can actually be changed according to the soul beast's own wishes. A 100,000-year-old soul beast will definitely drop a soul bone, and the soul bone will always be the one that the soul master who hunted the 100,000-year-old soul beast does not have, unless the soul master already has a full set of soul bones, in which case it will be random.

Based on the way soul beasts condense soul bones, Tang San, Guang Ling, and Ilex conducted reverse research and, through soul guide patterns, gave the Divine Throne the ability to "remelt" soul bones again.

Bibi Dong ordered someone to bring over a soul bone, which was one of the rewards from the original Continental Elite Tournament—the Wisdom Skull of Spiritual Condensation, with an age of 50,000 years.

Tang San gave those three soul bones to Bibi Dong as payment for challenging the Pope's authority. However, Bibi Dong did not directly bestow them upon Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

After all, it's a fact that the three didn't win the championship. If Bibi Dong were to give them the tournament prizes directly, it might cause gossip. Therefore, she temporarily stored them away, waiting for them to make contributions to the Spirit Hall in the future before rewarding them accordingly.

At this moment, however, they brought out the most precious piece...

In the original novel, Tang Hao possessed a full set of soul bones, and the two pieces that resulted in his severed arm and leg were soul bones inherited from his sect.

As for the soul bones dropped by a 100,000-year-old soul beast upon its death, they must be soul bones that the soul master who hunted it did not possess; this is the original setting, not a secondary interpretation.

The specific chapters in which this event occurs are the chapters where the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python sacrifice themselves to Tang San.

Did the original settings change in Douluo Continent II and III?

This is unrelated to the book.
