Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 329 Returning to Silver Blue Manor

"My lord, is war truly imminent on the continent?"

After leaving Ice and Snow City, Lingxi recalled what Tang San had said to Mi Xue, as if war was really about to break out, and couldn't help but worry.

"The outbreak of war was inevitable. Just as Michelle said, the three major powers, Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit Hall, all wanted to unify the continent."

Tang San said calmly, "Speaking of which, since the continent uses a unified written language and speaks a unified official language, perhaps at some point, the Douluo Continent was originally unified."

This point is actually described in the historical records of the Golden Civilization. The battle between the returning Dragon God and the Golden Civilization destroyed a large part of the continent, reducing the original area of ​​Douluo Continent by nearly half.

It can be said that the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent were originally one entity, and the humans there and the humans on the Douluo Continent are both descendants of the Golden Civilization.

"And what about the war that will break out in the future?"

"I stand with the Spirit Hall. Compared to the two great empires, the Spirit Hall is more enlightened. At least since Bibi Dong became Pope, the selection of future Popes will no longer rely on bloodline inheritance, but on the relationship between master and disciple. Under my influence, it can even move towards the direction of 'abdication' in the form of 'selecting the virtuous and capable'—still those six words: the capable rise, the mediocre fall."

"However, unlike Lingtang Technology Co., Ltd., it not only needs institutional regulations, but also additional supervision. Otherwise, it would be a great misfortune for the world if an incompetent person were to stand in that position."

Lingxi's eyes shone with admiration: "If Your Excellency were to become Pope, you would surely be the most outstanding Pope."

"No, if I were to sit in that position, I would only make a mess of everything." Tang San was self-aware. He was quite capable in the research and cultivation of martial souls and could be considered a powerful soul master, but he knew clearly that he was not cut out to be a ruler.

Moreover, Tang San clearly knew what he wanted: to study the mysteries of martial souls, the essence of soul power, to improve his own life level, and to do some beneficial physical and mental exercises with his girlfriends.

"Your Excellency is too modest." But Lingxi didn't know any of this; she only thought that Tang San had no interest in power, which was why he did this.

"That's the truth." Seeing that Lingxi was "stubborn" and her thinking was gradually becoming confused, Tang San didn't say much more about this topic. He simply said, "If war really breaks out, you can take your people and hide in Silver Blue Manor or Ling Tang Technology Co., Ltd. The Heavenly Dou faction will not interfere with these two places."

The reason is simple: Xue Qinghe is practically one of our own.

Why say half?

Although Qian Renxue was born into the Spirit Hall, she was a staunch supporter of the Spirit Hall. After Tang San joined, the Spirit Hall gained Bibi Dong's trust and made changes according to her suggestions, resulting in a shift in its philosophy and core principles.

When Qian Renxue returns in the future, she will inevitably have a strong conflict with Bibi Dong, and even fight for power. However, it is possible to resolve this conflict, since Qian Renxue is in need of love. As long as Bibi Dong stops using cold violence and harsh words against her and says some nice things, Qian Renxue will naturally let go of her prejudices, given her personality.

After all, arrogance and pride can, to some extent, be described as haughtiness.

Unfortunately, this is a little difficult.

"The Earl is right."

After passing through Lingtang Technology Co., Ltd., Lingxi borrowed the gatekeeper's soul-guided communication device, gave a few instructions to the relevant management personnel in the office, and then accompanied Tang San and Gu Yuena to Silver Blue Manor.

Since the Earl has finally returned, she, as the housekeeper, naturally has to cook for him herself!

As for company affairs, Lingxi doesn't actually need to do much. The main task is to discuss and exchange ideas on cooperation with the Tiandou family and minor sects. Secondly, it's about constantly adjusting the internal management and related production lines to improve the work efficiency of each department and earn more wealth.

Everyone in Tiandou City knows who is behind Lingtang Technology Unlimited Company. Therefore, in terms of cooperation, the patriarchs of various large and small families in Tiandou City will give them face, and there have never been any problems with the cooperation.

Even those associated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School treated Lingxi with great courtesy.

Silver Blue Manor.

Fan Niu and Fan Ma rubbed their eyes and hurried forward, exclaiming in unison, "Your Excellency, Earl! It really is you!"

"it's me."

Sensing the fluctuations in soul power emanating from the two due to their excitement, as well as the fluctuations in blood and qi emanating from their bodies, Tang San nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, you've actually reached the Great Soul Master realm, and your soul power has reached level twenty-eight. You're likely to break through to Soul Venerable."

"Thanks to the Tiger and Bear Body Tempering Technique, we have the skills we have today." Fan Niu revealed his heartfelt respect.

Fan Ma also said from the bottom of his heart, "If it weren't for you, my brother and I might have already died from manual labor."

Over the past two years, the two brothers had seen other male slaves, mostly treated like livestock, their bodies covered in wounds, some beaten to death, others dying from exhaustion while working. They were simply wrapped in tattered mats and sent outside the city, forgotten and abandoned…

If they hadn't met the Earl, their future would have been the same.

Tang San offered a few words of comfort and then changed the subject, asking about the two's progress in cultivating the Tiger Bear Body Tempering Technique. He said, "I'll stay here for a few days and check on your progress then."

Fan Niu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Earl, we have been diligently cultivating and will certainly not disappoint you."

Vanma chimed in, "My back is as solid as a rock; I already possess the might of a giant bear!"

"Alright, I'll test you all tomorrow." Tang San smiled, then gave a few instructions: "Stay away from Dai Mubai" and "Stay away from Shrek Academy," before walking into Silver Blue Manor with Lingxi and Gu Yuena.

"It's been two years since I last came here, but nothing has changed." Tang San sighed as he looked at the familiar grounds and flowerbeds.

"This is naturally so that the Earl won't feel like a stranger when he returns," Lingxi said with a smile. "The servants in the manor take good care of it every day; it's their only job."

As Tang San passed by the training ground, he saw a group of people, some shirtless and some wearing vests, practicing horse stance. Although they were drenched in sweat, they gritted their teeth and persevered, their bodies faintly radiating fluctuations of qi and blood.

A woman with cat ears was shouting slogans and directing their actions.

"Who are these people?" Tang San didn't remember there being such a group of people in the manor before he left. They looked like newly recruited... guards? Moreover, their training method was a simplified version of the Tiger Bear Body Tempering Technique?

"These are all owners of their own martial spirits," Lingxi explained. "I bought them from the slave market and had Fan Niu and Fan Ma help train them. There are twelve in total. Their martial spirits are either hands, feet, noses, etc. They don't practice the complete Tiger Bear Body Tempering Technique; it's just some simple movements that the Fan brothers put together to train their bodies."

After saying that, Lingxi clapped her hands and said to the woman in the close-fitting clothes, "Lingmeng, stop for a moment, let them rest for a while, and see who has returned?"
