Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 341 A Private Talk Between Teacher and Student (Bibi Dong and Hu Liena)

For some reason, Hu Liena felt that something had changed after her teacher and Tang San sparred in the Papal Palace last time. Tang San seemed much more cheerful than before and no longer gave people a gloomy impression.

Whenever Tang San is mentioned, a faint smile appears on the teacher's lips.

For a moment, Hu Liena felt a pang of jealousy.

But she also knew that, thanks to Tang San's suggestion, the Spirit Hall had not only grown stronger, but its foundation for establishing a nation was also gradually being strengthened, and even a throne of wisdom and spirit had been forged for the Spirit Hall.

"Teacher, the identities of the three people Tang San brought back have been confirmed. They are two women and one man, all with original spirit forms. They come from the Silver Blue Manor in Heaven Dou City, and their spirit forms are heart, skin, and bone respectively." Hu Liena mentioned the information about the Monkey, Rooster, and Pig. "I wonder what use they are."

"Physical Martial Soul?"

Bibi Dong knew that Tang San was about to reach the Soul Saint level, and understood that he wanted to condense the three core elements of essence, qi, and spirit. Now he was looking for his physical spirit, probably to conduct research on the corresponding parts of the human body's spirit, to cross-validate his physical training methods, and to make up for the deficiencies in his body.

This will also be helpful for my future condensation of the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir.

"Pass down the order: all branch halls shall begin collecting owners of Body Martial Souls across the continent. Anyone who has awakened a Body Martial Soul, regardless of their innate soul power, shall be sent to Martial Soul City by all branch halls within the limits permitted by the rules."

Hu Liena was startled and said, "Won't this cause a commotion? And other sects will definitely follow suit."

She didn't understand why her teacher suddenly wanted to do this.

Could it be because they want to collect materials for Tang San's research on his original spirit?

"It's alright, as long as we Spirit Hall don't force them," Bibi Dong said nonchalantly. "When the time comes, we'll conduct a publicity campaign, providing those who volunteer to be test subjects with excellent living conditions and a guarantee of Soul Coins. I'm sure many people will willingly join our Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong is becoming increasingly adept at using video promotions.

Hu Liena had nothing to say, so she could only make a note of it and prepare to discuss this matter with Tang San later. After all, he would definitely be involved in the research on the original spirit and take the lead. She couldn't leave all the public affairs to them. Tang San, the Holy Son, also had to pay the price with his "sexual favor".

"How is the Star Luo Empire doing lately?"

Compared to the Heaven Dou Empire, which was already under her control, Bibi Dong was more concerned about the situation in Xingluo.

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's question, Hu Liena immediately produced the latest intelligence submitted by the Star Luo City Martial Soul Branch Hall, saying, "The Star Luo Emperor Dai Lego has begun to learn from the Heaven Dou Empire's Emperor Xue Ye, allowing Davis to handle affairs. Moreover, as soon as Davis took over some power, he began to vigorously build a soul guidance research institution and began research on weapon-type soul guidance devices."

"Soul-guided bombs, soul-guided crossbows, etc."

"However, the construction of the Soul Guidance Research Academy was greatly hindered because most of the Soul Master families within the Empire opposed it."

Bibi Dong chuckled twice, offering no comment.

But Hu Liena understood that the Star Luo Empire had made a terrible mistake from the very beginning.

While weapon-type soul tools are incredibly powerful, what about the pride of soul masters with formidable offensive capabilities? They painstakingly cultivate for over twenty or thirty years to reach the Soul Venerable or Soul Grandmaster levels, only to find that a single soul-guided bomb can render all their efforts futile.

Who can accept this?

Those support-type Soul Masters and ordinary people don't mind using Soul Tools with powerful attack capabilities; in fact, they're quite happy about it, since weapon-type Soul Tools give them powerful attack abilities.

Soul Masters like Bibi Dong and Hu Liena don't really care about the attack capabilities of their Soul Tools, since as strong individuals, they never complain about their environment.

However, in the current environment, most Soul Masters cannot allow offensive Soul Tools to replace their position.

Therefore, even when the Spirit Hall was researching offensive soul tools, it did so secretly, without making it public, in order to prevent anyone from using this as a pretext to cause soul masters across the continent to oppose the Spirit Hall's research.

Although Bibi Dong now believes that even without becoming a god, she is capable of suppressing all the powerful figures on the continent, ruling and managing are far more difficult than conquering the entire continent.

She cannot allow the current situation to be undone.

At least for now, she quite enjoys watching the Spirit Hall gradually become what she imagined in her childhood—revered by all, growing stronger and better.

The sense of accomplishment I feel far exceeds what I've experienced before!

Of course, for Bibi Dong now, there is one more thing that can satisfy her, and that is to conquer Tang San!

"The Star Luo Empire made a terrible mistake." Bibi Dong finally commented, it was unclear whether she was referring to their overconfidence from the beginning or to the decision to let Davis take over the matter.

"They might also want to act swiftly and decisively, seizing all power in the Star Luo Empire and placing it in the hands of the Dai and Zhu families in one fell swoop," Hu Liena offered her opinion.

After all, the Star Luo Empire was established by various families and sects at its inception. When the Haotian Sect, which supported the Star Luo Empire, retired and the Dai family firmly established itself on the throne of the Star Luo Empire, they naturally wanted to go further and make the throne belong to the Dai family forever, leaving no chance for other families.

Putting herself in the other's shoes, Hu Liena felt that if she were on the Star Luo throne, she would also do everything in her power to reserve it for her own family, not another family...

Snapped!

Hu Liena immediately slapped her forehead to wake herself up, thinking to herself, "I can't have such thoughts. My teacher can abandon blood ties to take me as a disciple, and even plans to pass the position to me in the future. I must broaden my mind and not limit myself to bloodline inheritance."

"What's wrong?" Bibi Dong asked curiously when she saw Hu Liena suddenly slap her forehead.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Hu Liena didn't dare to hide anything and described her thoughts, which amazed Bibi Dong.

To be honest, Bibi Dong had never thought that way. If Qian Renxue hadn't been that guy's daughter, Hu Liena might not even exist now.

In a sense, Hu Liena was a substitute for her daughter... However, Bibi Dong was certain that she absolutely regarded Hu Liena as her own daughter.

As for her biological daughter, Bibi Dong now feels only guilt. After all, she has come to understand that the newborn child is innocent and knows nothing. However, she and Qian Renxue have never had any interaction as mother and daughter.

Blood is thicker than water, that's for sure.

But time lost cannot be turned back, and it is an undeniable fact that she and Qian Renxue did not have a deep emotional connection.

Moreover, the future of the Spirit Hall will absolutely not be handed over to the Angel lineage!

If there is a reason, there is only one—

This is something that thousands of families owe her!

Of course, when it comes to the public, such an absurd reason cannot be used. A reason that can convince the world needs to be found, such as: Since the God of Angels has mercy, compassion, and love for mankind, and has sincere feelings for them, then anyone can be the Pope! As long as they have the talent!

Surely, with the angels' generosity and mercy, they would agree with this idea?

At least, the Senka, who claim to be descendants of angels, cannot refute this point!

"That's right, that's how you should think. The Spirit Hall belongs to everyone, not just one person or one family. We can't be bound by bloodlines." Bibi Dong pulled herself together, nodded slightly, and continued, "This is the purpose of our Spirit Hall. Of course, it's not perfect yet and needs time to be organized."

Hu Liena nodded, but seeing Bibi Dong's natural expression, she hesitated to speak.

"Ask whatever you want. There's no need for such secrecy between us," Bibi Dong said with a smile.

"Teacher, you seem less anxious now?" Hu Liena finally asked the question that had been bothering her. "After your sparring session with Tang San last time, you seemed to have changed. You started handling affairs more calmly and weren't in a hurry to cultivate anymore... Could it be that the divine inheritance isn't important anymore?"

How can it not be important?

However, for Bibi Dong now, she simultaneously possesses the positions of the god of Rakshasa and the god of death, and the divine consciousness of the former god of Rakshasa has completely disappeared.

Becoming a god only requires accumulating energy; there's no need to be in such a hurry.

She has already tried Tang San's cultivation theory: condensing the core of the three dantian, forming a cycle, forging a microcosm in the human body, and then communicating with the macrocosm outside, thus achieving the goal of using human power to leverage the power of heaven and earth.

Although it doesn't seem like mastering the laws of the gods, upon closer examination, it is far more magnificent than becoming a god.

If we immerse ourselves in this further, we might even transcend the past and present!

Even if she fails in the end, at worst she'll be a Rakshasa god or the Grim Reaper.

After figuring out the situation in the divine realm, Bibi Dong even wanted to postpone her ascension to godhood. After all, once she became a god, she couldn't interfere too much in human affairs. If she crossed the line, it might even attract the intervention of the gods in the divine realm.

However, there is also an unstable factor on the Douluo Continent:

Tang Chen.

Before Tang San told her about this, Bibi Dong never imagined that the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter was Tang Chen, and that he had even obtained the Asura inheritance.

However, the Asura God is an enforcer of the divine realm and should know and understand the law. If he kills indiscriminately after becoming a god, will the divine realm punish him?

Most likely not.

Enforcers, unless there is an even stronger sword hanging over their heads, are very likely to break the law knowingly, after all, even a god-king has emotions and desires, joys and sorrows.

"The inheritance of the gods is certainly important, but I think we can put it aside for now and finish laying the foundation for the Spirit Hall's founding first," Bibi Dong said after thinking for a while.

"Teacher, you are so righteous!" Hu Liena flattered.

Bibi Dong remained noncommittal, then asked, "Recently, the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect seem to be quite active, even coming to the outskirts of Spirit City to investigate."

"Should we arrest them all?" Hu Liena's eyes turned cold as she made a suggestion.

"No need. After all, we don't have a sufficient reason, and sealing off the mountain doesn't mean trapping them all inside the sect; it just means preventing them from moving around outside on a large scale." Bibi Dong shook her head. "It's alright for now. After all, our trump cards are right there in front of the Clear Sky Sect: me, Qian Daoliu, and Tang San—"

"Tang Chen, who is of unparalleled level, is not qualified to cause trouble for the Spirit Hall if he has not become a god."

Given the difficulty of inheriting the Asura God's legacy, it won't be something Tang Chen can achieve overnight.

If Tang Chen really succeeds—

It doesn't matter.

She will take action!

After the energy of her three dantians formed a cycle, Bibi Dong felt that although she had not yet become a god, she could unleash a god-level attack at any time. If all else failed, she could find Tang San to perform a spirit fusion technique.

At that time, Tang San was estimated to have reached the level of a Title Douluo, or even a peerless level.

The fusion skills will definitely be more powerful!

Tang Chen, who has just inherited the position of the Asura God, definitely does not have the full power of a God King in the God Realm. If she joins forces with Tang San, the possibility of defeating the opponent is still quite high.
