Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 355 The First Appearance of the Transmigrator Alliance

"I never expected Xue Qinghe to become the Great Emperor of Tiandou. This plot has completely gone awry."

Among the crowd watching Xue Qinghe's ascension to the throne, a handsome young man quietly walked outside, shaking his head and sighing, "Moreover, the housing prices in Tiandou City are so high, I've really learned something new."

This person is named Feng Ming, a time traveler. When he was in Baiyun City, his elder brother Feng Lie had some conflicts with Tang San and Huo Wu, but Tang San did not take it to heart afterwards.

But others took it to heart.

After learning that Feng Lie of the Feng family had offended the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, the city lord of Baiyun City and the branch hall master of the Spirit Hall joined forces to make things difficult for the Feng family at every turn.

Firstly, the Feng family was already quite arrogant and domineering in the area, especially the eldest son of the Feng family, Feng Lie, who had an extremely bad reputation.

Secondly, one of the Feng family's businesses involved in the production of counterfeit life-related soul tools that were patented by Ling Tang Technology Co., Ltd. and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the Spirit Hall, which put them at fault.

It turns out that the Spirit Hall of Baiyun City turned a blind eye, since everyone had something to gain.

But who told Feng Lie to offend the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?

Although Tang San might not even remember such a thing, the local Spirit Hall branch master and the city lord of Baiyun City dared not take any chances and began to strictly manage the Feng family.

For a time, the Feng family's businesses suffered a significant blow, resulting in losses for the past six months.

Left with no other choice, the Feng family patriarch led the entire clan to relocate to Tiandou City to develop their fortunes. Small cities couldn't make big money; only by seeking development in big cities could they hope to rise to the top.

The direct descendants of the Feng family possess the Blue Feather Chicken Martial Soul, which gives them an advantage in identifying the quality of grains and cereals. By cooperating with grain and fruit merchants in Tiandou City, they have been able to establish a foothold.

Unfortunately, the money they earned in a year wasn't even enough to buy a small manor in Tiandou City.

Moreover, the housing prices in Tiandou City have been rising every year.

"It's not much different from not having transmigrated, except I'm missing my phone and computer." Coming to his senses, Feng Ming glanced back at Xue Qinghe, who was swearing to the world that he would dedicate his life to Tian Dou, and then continued to squeeze out of the crowd. He came to an open-air public seat, pulled out a chair, and plopped down.

"Is it over there?" The person on the other end put down their Sprite, their expression indifferent.

"No, I left early. I don't like that lively atmosphere." Feng Ming put his hands behind his back, stared at the Sprite on the table, and asked, "Mixue, aren't you planning to join our Transmigrator Alliance?"

"She has the backing of Tianshui Academy, so naturally she looks down on our shabby organization." The young man shook his head. "She hasn't read the Douluo series, and even thinks that we fellow villagers are inferior to the natives of this world."

"Indeed, when fellow countrymen meet, there's no shortage of people willing to rip you off. If my strength weren't roughly equal to yours, and my family background weren't decent enough—considered middle-class in Tiandou City—I wouldn't be with you," Feng Ming said with a cold smile. "What is our purpose?"

"Of course, we should defeat Tang San!" the young man replied without hesitation.

"Are you having a fit of chuunibyou? This isn't some super-exciting fanfiction world where you transmigrate to another world. We don't have an invincible system to help us, and we don't have any direct conflict with him."

Feng Ming looked directly at the other person and said, "I've already passed the stage of being a young man. And to be honest, why don't we disband the Transmigrator Alliance? Without the support of my Feng family and my help, you're just a commoner Soul Master with slightly better cultivation talent. If you want to improve your cultivation quickly, you can only choose to join a certain force on the continent."

Feng Ming's martial soul is also the Blue Feather Chicken, but it is a beast martial soul that is separated from the body and can lay eggs.

Therefore, his cultivation of martial spirit and acquisition of spirit rings were all for the purpose of giving the eggs laid by the Blue Feather Chicken powerful auxiliary abilities: increasing cultivation speed, amplifying attributes, etc.

The young man in front of him was named Hawke, the organizer and leader of the Transmigrator Alliance. However, the alliance currently only had two members, and Feng Ming did not particularly respect the other party.

In terms of raw power, Feng Ming was indeed no match for him, but he also had ways to defend himself. He had hidden weapons all over his body: lime, salt, homemade gunpowder that could not explode but would produce a lot of smoke when ignited (he tried it a few times and almost blew himself up, so he didn't dare to continue experimenting), and so on.

When roaming the martial world, the most important thing is not to talk about martial ethics.

"No!" Hawke had experienced the effects of Feng Ming's eggs, so naturally he didn't want him to quit.

"Then tell me, what exactly is the use of this Transmigrator Alliance? You and I both know that most of us are arrogant and unwilling to submit to anyone else. If you want to continue being a leader, you'll have to show some confidence." After Feng Ming finished speaking, he reminded him, "To cause trouble, you'll at least have combat strength similar to Tang San's. That guy is also a transmigrator, and I even suspect he has some kind of cheat system, otherwise it wouldn't be so exaggerated."

In short, without confidence and strength, everything is over. Feng Ming needs to focus on making money and developing the Feng family. He has no time to indulge in fantasies anymore.

Society has repeatedly dealt him a blow, and his adventurous spirit has gradually faded away.

"Alright, then let me tell you what I'm confident about." Hawke hesitated for a moment before saying, "My martial soul is a trident, mutated from a harpoon, possessing innate full soul power and extreme water elemental power... What comes to mind when you hear that?"

"The legacy of the Sea God?" Feng Ming seemed to understand something, but frowned and asked, "Although your martial soul is very similar to the Sea God's trident, you don't have the Heart of the Sea God, which is that Vast Ocean Universe Cover. If you go to Sea God Island, will the Sea God choose you?"

"Heh, it's obvious you only have a superficial understanding of the Sea God's legacy," Hawke said smugly. "Do you think the gods in the divine realm need us to find the tokens they left behind in the mortal world before choosing their successors?"

"As long as you have enough talent and get noticed, you can be chosen by the gods!"

"My martial soul's talent completely overlaps with the position of the Sea God, and Sea God Island is the place of inheritance left by the Sea God. As long as I go there, I will definitely be noticed by the Sea God himself in the God Realm."

"In the original story, the eighth trial of the Sea God required Tang San to cultivate both of his martial souls to the ninth ring level, collect all the soul bones, revive the examinee who was also taking the test, and kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. However, in reality, this eighth trial may have also included finding the Heart of the Sea God. But Tang San had already obtained the Heart of the Sea God before taking the test, so it was not counted in the eighth trial."

"But later, the Heart of the Sea God shattered and needed to be reforged before truly undergoing the Ninth Trial."

Feng Ming understood the other party's plan and asked, "So, you're confident you can obtain the Nine Trials of the Sea God and become the Sea God?"

"That's right," Hawke said smugly. "We can wait to get the Heart of the Sea God. Right now, I need to improve my strength. After all, we can't just find any ship to go to Sea God Island. There's a group of Great White Sharks in the waters surrounding Sea God Island. In the original story, Tang San was able to hide his body with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and was safe. We can't do that. We need to reach at least the Soul Saint level before we can set off."

"Then, I can take you and your entire family to Seagod Island!"

"As long as you complete the Sea God's test, you will receive a reward. The Sea God is much more generous than angels or Rakshasa, and can improve your cultivation level very quickly."

"Furthermore, you can leave Seagod Island as long as I allow it... You don't need to worry about me using divine trials to restrict you after I become a god. After all, I also hope that you can become a god. The God King of the God Realm is not easy to deal with."

Feng Ming gave Hawke a deep look and said, "So that's what you were planning. You wanted to gather a group of transmigrators to help you gain a foothold in the God Realm."

Hawke remained noncommittal: "At least, compared to these local natives, our values ​​as transmigrators are pretty much the same, aren't they?"

"That's true." Feng Ming wholeheartedly agreed. "Then let's continue the cooperation. Moreover, we need to recruit more like-minded transmigrators. What do you think of Wang Chen?"

"Qian Renxue's simp..."

Hawke always looked down on guys who were obsessed with beautiful women after transmigrating. "...The way he bowed and scraped to Qian Renxue, I felt like he had been tamed. He might even sell us out. It's best not to get involved."

"Where's Xu Xing?" Feng Ming asked again.

"During this time, I went to the Star Luo Empire and learned that because of his martial soul, the entire Star Crown Sect was ostracized by the royal family. Now he has gone to the coastal area, probably to develop the resources on the other side of the sea." Hawke did not know that Xu Xing had already gone to sea, but he was quite wary of Xu Xing.

That guy is quite strong, especially his Star Domain and the seemingly impressive "Zhou Tian Star Array," which are indeed very powerful, even bizarre. He's not confident he can completely subdue it.

If Xu Xing joins in, he will likely "steal the show" and take the lead.

Feng Ming nodded, sharing Hawke's view, and also didn't really want someone like Xu Xing, who was a bit too large, to join: "Where's Mu Tian?"

"He's from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but there hasn't been a single word about him in the last two or three years. It's like he's vanished into thin air." Hawke was also very puzzled by this, suspecting that the other party might have gone somewhere to cultivate in seclusion. However, he dared not casually investigate the territory where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was located, lest he be mistaken for a spy.

"What about Tang San?" Feng Ming asked again.

"Do you dare?" Hawke rolled his eyes at the other party. His Transmigrator Alliance was established in the name of "anti-Tang San". Going to find Tang San would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

"Our Transmigrator Alliance is really pathetic, only two people," Feng Ming complained. "Speaking of which, there seem to be quite a few transmigrators in this world. What do you think is the reason?"

"Who knows?" Hawke said nonchalantly. "Anyway, it's not something we can think about right now. Even if we become gods in the future, we still won't be able to access it. Let's focus on the present and set a small goal: become gods."

"I think we should talk about something more practical, like how to make money and how to recruit people." Feng Ming felt that becoming a god was too far away and that they needed to focus on the current accumulation first. "I think we can be more flexible in recruiting people. Some natives would also be fine, such as Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun. Although these three all have a womanizing problem, they are all quite talented."

"Shrek Academy is indeed a good place to find hidden gems." Compared to the three people Feng Ming mentioned, Hawke considered all the talents within Shrek Academy.

To be honest, their Transmigrator Alliance is really quite shabby.

"By the way, I'm almost at level 50 in my cultivation. Don't you have a Fire Mushroom at home? How about you sell it to me?" Hawke smacked his hands, his face beaming.

"Isn't your martial soul the ultimate water attribute?" Feng Ming narrowed his eyes.

"It's not something you eat directly. I got a medicinal bath recipe that can convert the fire attribute in the elixir into the water attribute," Hawke explained with a smile.

"That······"

"Fire fungus? How old is it?"

Before Feng Ming could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a loud voice.

The two turned around and saw a handsome young man walk up to them and introduce himself: "My name is Tang Luoya, born in Haotian Sect. I hope you will sell me the Fire Fungus."

Feng Ming: "..."

Hawke: "..."
