Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 302 The Women's Workday

The night ends and the day dawns.

Tang San and Xiao Wu studied the matter all night, but there were endless replies. Xiao Wu naturally showed no abnormality, and Guang Ling, Rong Rong, Huo Wu, and the others were also radiant and full of energy.

After breakfast, everyone went about their own business.

Huo Wu and Guang Ling went to the Soul Guidance Technology City.

Needless to say, Guangling went to study soul tools.

Huo Wu, on the other hand, went to learn about metal forging in order to create her own way of weapon crafting. She could also use those metals to practice the manipulation of gravity, since hammering metal was, in her view, the same principle as using gravity to crush the impurities inside the metal.

This allows one to hone their control over gravity and also to create their own weapon-forging techniques, achieving two goals at once.

Ning Rongrong went to the economic capital, where, after its construction, a business called Tiandi Trading Company, a collaboration between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was established. It also had branches in the other five outer cities, responsible for managing all the capital flows inside and outside Spirit City, as well as approving and stamping the establishment and cancellation of various businesses, and cooperating with relevant personnel of the Spirit Hall to collect commercial taxes.

Moreover, the headquarters of this Heaven and Earth Trading Company has an auction venue, which is jointly registered and certified by the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, guaranteeing its credibility.

Ning Rongrong's original duties were to manage the headquarters affairs of Tiandi Trading Company and be in charge of auction matters, which was quite busy. However, after the establishment of Blue Silver Network, she was able to communicate with her subordinates at any time, which greatly improved her efficiency and gave her more free time.

Therefore, in addition to necessary cultivation, she has recently started designing clothes and appraising treasures, which she enjoys quite a bit. She has become a well-known clothing design master and treasure appraiser in and around Wuhun City.

Even nobles from Tiandou and Xingluo traveled great distances and spent large sums of money to commission a garment designed by her.

Ning Rongrong, however, knew the principle that scarcity increases value, so she decided to design and produce only one set of clothing per year.

As soon as this news came out, her works were hyped up to astronomical prices, with one outfit even reaching 100 million gold soul coins!

Daughter of the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The president of Tiandi Trading Company.

Members of the previous Mainland Elite Tournament champion team.

One set per year.

Such a gimmick naturally attracted the enthusiastic support of some nobles in the two great empires.

Upon learning of this, Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a long while before muttering, "Rongrong designed a dress, and it costs 100 million gold soul coins?"

"That's really outrageous." Sword Douluo was also incredulous.

"As expected of Rongrong, she's truly amazing." Bone Luo, having recovered from the incident with Mu Tian, ​​praised her, then asked Ning Fengzhi, "Fengzhi, given the current trend of the Spirit Hall, is there any possibility of them contending for supremacy over the continent?"

Ning Fengzhi was silent for a while before saying, "It seems I made a mistake by taking Xue Qinghe as my disciple... However, Rongrong has now joined the Spirit Hall, and I am also an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall. Even if it really comes to that, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has room to maneuver. At most, we will not help either side."

"If we have to choose, which one should we pick?" Sword Douluo asked.

"Spirit Hall".

Ning Fengzhi didn't hesitate. The original Spirit Hall had a severely weak foundation for establishing a nation. Unless Bibi Dong became a god and crushed it, no one with insight would be optimistic about it.

Now, the Spirit Hall's foundation has begun to be strengthened, and it has even accumulated a large amount of wealth in a way that he had never imagined. It has begun to build basic facilities and supplement its basic subsidies. It is developing rapidly and may be able to truly rival the power of the two great empires in terms of its foundation in just a few years.

After all, the Spirit Hall has the largest number of Spirit Masters on the entire continent.

Especially after Tang San joined the Spirit Hall, ordinary soul masters flocked to it, and even the staff of the Spirit Hall's various branch halls were already saturated.

Of course, the above are all objective factors. The most direct subjective factor is that the Spirit Hall made money for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The sect's treasury, which was used to store gold spirit coins, has been piled up into a hundred or so small mountains nearly fifty meters high.

[I'm so sorry, my beloved Heaven Dou, the Spirit Hall has given us way too much!]

cough!

Let's get back to the main topic!

As for Xiao Wu, she went to the City of Medicine and Pills, since her side business was related to medicine. However, before she left, she said to Tang San, "I will not comment on the grudges between humans and soul beasts, especially since I am human now and I need to hunt soul beasts to obtain my last two soul rings... But as a daughter, I must seek justice for my mother, unless she gives up on revenge after being resurrected."

"I believe your aunt is a reasonable person," Tang San said, hugging Xiao Wu.

"My mother is indeed an easy-going person."

Xiao Wu knew her mother's temperament; she was rather kind. Considering their current situation after her resurrection, she might actually give up on seeking revenge against Bibi Dong. "But how are you going to convince that old woman, Bibi Dong? You can't expect my mother to hide in the shadows after her resurrection, can you? That won't do."

"After Auntie is resurrected, she will be a true human. After all, I can't restore her 100,000-year-old origin as well. At most, I can only restore her strength before she died." Tang San sensed the effect of the [Fourth Soul Skill: Nine Deaths Resurrection] and smiled. "At that time, Auntie will no longer drop soul rings or soul bones. It won't be worth Bibi Dong hunting her again. After all, soul masters hunt soul beasts for those two things."

"Who knows?" Xiao Wu scoffed, tossing her scorpion-tail braid and skipping towards the City of Medicine and Elixir. Clearly, Tang San's special care last night had put her in a good mood...

Finally, Lan Yinzi stayed at the Soul Martial Manor as a housekeeper, responsible for all affairs of the manor and taking care of Gu Yuena to prevent the little girl from being too lively.

To be honest, Gu Yuena couldn't discern anything about Lan Yinzi's condition. She only thought he was an ordinary human and had no idea that he was a reincarnation of the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Speaking of which, you and Tang San both have the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, so why is your life force so much weaker than his?" This was the point that Gu Yuena couldn't understand the most.

"Because I'm going down the path of strong offense and control." Lan Yinzi instinctively wanted to become a powerful Soul Master. She was fed up with not having strong offensive capabilities during her Soul Beast days. Moreover, the Blue Silver Emperor was a top-tier Martial Soul, so she didn't need to consider whether the Soul Ring attributes perfectly matched her Martial Soul like ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

Furthermore, after she was reborn through possession, the soul beasts she chose were all plant-based, but they were all geared towards control and attack, with vitality being secondary.

This does not conflict with her martial spirit.

Moreover, her five soul skills can now work together in a coordinated and progressive manner:

First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Seed, releases a sea of ​​seeds that can absorb soul power.

Second Soul Skill: Blue Silver Net, which allows seeds to sprout and form a large net to physically bind and control enemies.

Third Soul Skill: Blue Silver Cutting Array, which makes the leaves of the Blue Silver Net sharp, like soft swords, intersecting and moving to cut enemies.

Fourth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Illusion Array. After hunting down the Demon Eye Tree, it can bewitch the enemy's mind and trap them in an illusion. When used in conjunction with the Blue Silver Cutting Array, it can kill people without them even realizing it.

The final fifth soul skill is the Blue Silver Gathering Spirit Array, which has three uses: First, it gathers the energy of heaven and earth and concentrates it around the body to help oneself and other soul masters accelerate their cultivation; second, it injects the gathered energy of heaven and earth into the first four soul skills, enhancing their power by nearly two times; and third, it lays the foundation for the sixth soul skill that follows.

For his future sixth spirit ring, Lan Yinzi plans to use the Blue Silver Overlord Spear as his spirit skill—a spearhead made of a net formed from seeds, with the sharpness of the leaves gathered at the spearhead, inflicting mental hallucination damage, and then condensing the energy of heaven and earth to enhance its power.

Lan Yinzi still longs for offensive skills.

"storm?"

Gu Yuena curled her lip, somewhat disdainful. In her opinion, the Blue Silver Emperor's offensive strategy completely failed to utilize its greatest advantage, and it could only fight against those martial souls that were not top-tier.

They are first-rate, even top-notch, at beating noobs.

However, it cannot play a significant role when encountering excessively powerful martial souls, such as Huo Wu's Sun Goddess, Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.

Even Xiao Wu's current Soft Bone Rabbit form can violently tear apart Lan Yinzi's Blue Silver Net.

Lan Yinzi's face fell at Gu Yuena's sharp tongue, thinking to himself, "Who can compare to those monsters? I'm good enough to be better than most people."

"However, you might be able to find a way to connect your spirit to the Blue Silver Network that Tang San has currently deployed throughout Spirit City," Gu Yuena suggested. "After all, they are both Blue Silver Emperors, so perhaps you can use their roots to unleash an even more powerful effect."

"It's definitely worth a try." Lan Yinzi thought it was feasible. After all, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor was inherited from her. Although her current Blue Silver Emperor was evolved under her control after this body devoured her original body, making it a completely new individual, it was still the Blue Silver Emperor and should be able to coexist with Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor.

However, she couldn't act directly; she had to talk to her eldest son first. Otherwise, if Blue Silver Network had problems and he had to redo everything, she, as his mother, would feel terribly guilty.

【Sigh~】

[Other mothers might not even ask questions and would just try it, but what can I do? I'm a gentle, considerate, kind, amiable, and beautiful mother.]

After admiring himself in solitude for a while, Lan Yinzi led Gu Yuena to Tang San, who was writing furiously in his study. On his desk was a perspective drawing of the human body, marked with various blood vessels, meridians, nervous system, acupoints, internal organs, and the brain, which looked somewhat eerie.

"Captain Tang~"

"No, just call me by my name, it sounds weird." Tang San stopped writing and interrupted Lan Yinzi's sweet voice, "After all, our relationship... is rather complicated."

This is also why Tang San never formally called Lan Yinzi by her name after they had been open and honest with each other (he always used "you" instead, or simply didn't address her at all).

"Alright, there's something I need to discuss with you." When not joking, Lan Yinzi didn't know how to address Tang San, so she gave up on that and simply looked at him to show that she was speaking seriously.

"What's wrong? Is Gu Yuena being too naughty?" Tang San glanced at Gu Yuena, who was glaring at him, and thought her puffed-up little face was quite cute, so he couldn't help but pinch it.

After realizing what was happening, Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment, then took three steps back in embarrassment and anger, making a roaring dragon gesture.

"Hmm~ This girl is indeed very naughty." Tang San raised his hand and supported Gu Yuena's forehead. No matter how she waved her arm, she could not touch Tang San's body.

The difference in height and the length of their arms were clearly evident at this moment.

A fleeting look of envy crossed Lan Yinzi's eyes, and she immediately said, "It's like this, I want to try to see if our martial souls can fuse."

"Soul Fusion?"

Tang San raised an eyebrow.

Tang San naturally sensed Lan Yinzi's martial soul, since they were both Lan Yin Emperors. Moreover, Tang San focused on amplification, recovery, healing, and strengthening, while Lan Yinzi focused on attack and control. Both of them were of the life attribute, and the life attribute is different from other attributes like water, fire, wind, and earth. It does not require a certain balance between them. As long as the main attribute is life, the probability of them fusing together should be very high.

After all, taking Tang San's own Blue Silver Emperor as an example, its life attribute seems to be able to fuse with, or rather, include, most martial souls.

The life attribute can accommodate most attributes, and only when facing an attribute like death, which can counteract it, is a balance needed.

Therefore, the success rate of fusing with Lan Yinzi's martial soul can be said to be 100%.

Tang San, however, did not want to do that.

After all, the fusion of martial souls can affect a person's temperament... Although Tang San felt that he had perfect control over his martial soul and would not be affected by it, Lan Yinzi might be a different story.

No matter what, she was still his biological mother...

On the soul—

It is said that after the Blue Silver Emperor sacrifices himself, it is equivalent to dying once. Even if he is reborn, his soul will be more solid, but is the immortal true spirit deep in his soul the same one?

Most likely not, then...

Tang San immediately dismissed the idea of ​​"motherly love and filial piety," but Lan Yinzi shook her head and said, "It's not a spirit fusion; if you have to say, it should be a spirit skill fusion."

"It's about letting my Blue Silver Emperor take root on your Blue Silver Network, to see if it can increase my cultivation speed or the power of my soul skills."

If that were all, Tang San could agree, saying, "It's a good idea, but you can't use the Blue Silver Network. We need to test it first, otherwise it might disrupt the Blue Silver Network's communications."

Although Tang San guessed that the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, which could transform from illusion to reality, was no different from a real plant, and its root and net structure was extremely tough, making it impossible for Blue Silver to affect Blue Silver's Blue Silver Emperor, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Now that the Blue Silver Network has been put into use, if the signal is suddenly cut off, there will be a lot of chaos. It would be best for him to release a Blue Silver Emperor plant separately to test it.

Moreover, for a researcher, rigor is an essential quality.

"That's great, let's go test it now."

Lan Yinzi was as excited as a little girl. She grabbed Tang San's hand and led him away from the study towards the training ground of the Soul Martial Manor.

Gu Yuena scratched her ear, unable to understand why Lan Yinzi was so happy. She thought to herself, "I always feel like there's something wrong with Lan Yinzi. Her liking for Tang San is a bit like that of the Soft Bone Rabbit, but not exactly the same. It's more like the kind of affection that some soul beast mothers show when caring for their cubs..."
