Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 358 Hawke and Tang Luoya (Part 1): Days of Worrying About Money

In contrast to the undercurrents within the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall continued its peaceful development. Upon receiving news of Xue Qinghe's ascension to the throne and his subjugation of the Po Clan, Bibi Dong simply conveyed the message, "Manage the Heaven Dou Empire well," and then fell silent, adhering to one principle:

drag.

Meanwhile, the development of Wuhun City is becoming increasingly rapid, with more and more people migrating here, and all sorts of novel life-related soul tools are emerging one after another.

Correspondingly, the Blue Silver Network has gradually opened up, but at present, only the staff of the Spirit Hall can use it. Other ordinary residents can only communicate by relying on the spirit guide transmitter, spirit guide communicator and other spirit guide devices that have been developed in recent years.

"Is this Wuhun City? It does have a bit of a modern feel to it." After entering from the entrance of the economic capital, Tang Luoya looked at the square houses and the rows of high-rise buildings, especially the reflective glass, which gave him the illusion of returning to the modern world.

In particular, the soul-guided steam locomotives in this city resemble cars, and they even use water as fuel. There's even a water station on one of the roads.

Because the Soul Guidance Steam Locomotive uses the principle of a steam engine and is powered by steam, the Soul Force inside this locomotive only needs to be responsible for heating, and does not need to drive the internal mechanisms to do work.

A full replenishment of soul power can power a steam locomotive for about three months, while a full fill of water can propel the locomotive a distance of a thousand miles.

It offers excellent value for money!

"Soul power is the primary productive force?" Hawke, standing beside Tang Luoya, was also visiting Spirit City for the first time. Seeing the scene, he couldn't help but murmur, "Are you really going to find Tang San? He's not one of us!"

These people who transmigrated only wanted to gain extraordinary power, become kings and conquerors, or, if their ambitions were bigger, develop their families, or even become gods.

But this Tang San is different!

He's a researcher!

Hawke now suspects that Tang San's profession in his previous life was completely different from theirs, and he might even have been a scientific researcher. Such a person is not someone they can compare to, who only rely on their martial soul talent.

They can't compare to him in terms of talent, strength, or even status and identity. How can they convince him?

"We have to try. Just because we don't look for him doesn't mean he won't look for us." Tang Luoya's idea was simple: since they had all discovered the existence of other transmigrators, Tang San must have noticed as well. Rather than secretly targeting them later, it would be better to go directly to their door and test their situation.

Hawke was speechless: "I think you're overthinking it. They probably don't care about us at all."

Tang Luoya shook his head: "Didn't the Soul Emperor in Battle Through the Heavens not care about Xiao Yan? In the end, he died, so Tang San will definitely value us transmigrators too."

"Is this the third-person perspective we use when reading novels? In reality, it's like when MY sees street vendors and thinks they'll steal his business, so he wants to sweep them away." Hawke, however, had a different opinion. He felt that it was best for them to develop stealthily. Going to Tang San now would just be the end of their act—getting their lunchboxes.

But Tang Luoya's idea was wrong; he wanted to see Tang San. After all, they shared the same Clear Sky Sect bloodline and the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, so Tang San should give him some face.

Hawke just wants to say: If you're looking to die, don't drag me down with you!

Unfortunately, Tang Luoya has also joined the Transmigrator Alliance, and because he is the strongest, having reached level 49 Soul Master, Hawke, the nominal leader, can only lead the way.

"Speaking of which, after the guards outside the city learned that you were from the Clear Sky Sect, they only glanced at you a few more times and didn't warn you anything," Hawke said, recounting this incident. "It seems the Spirit Hall is quite open-minded."

"The Clear Sky Sect is just closing its mountain, but its disciples are still allowed to go out. What's so strange about that?" Tang Luoya said matter-of-factly. "They just can't travel around the continent on a large scale to expand the sect's influence. The Spirit Hall just had the advantage of being able to seize the initiative."

Hawke remained silent.

Although Tang Luoya's words made some sense, what was with the inexplicable pride in his tone?

Were you a successful person in your past life?

The two continued forward until they arrived at the outer walls of the inner city of Wuhun, which was originally Wuhun City.

"This is the real Spirit City!" Hawke gazed at the towering walls and the Spirit patterns adorning them, feeling the ancient and profound aura emanating from them. He then glanced back at the bustling city behind him and sighed, "It's unbelievable that such a massive city, six of them, could be built in just two or three years. The productivity of Spirit Masters is truly outrageous. If all the Spirit Masters on the continent developed Spirit Guidance Technology, they could probably explore the universe within a century, right?"

Tang Luoya remained silent for a moment, then said, "Hmph! It's nothing more than an external thing!"

"Tch, you're just talking. When the soul-guided nuclear bomb is developed, even gods will die." Hawke retorted sarcastically, and stepped forward, only to be stopped by the guards at the inner city gate.

"Resident ID is required to enter the Martial Soul Inner City," the guard said in a loud voice, his sharp eyes scanning the two of them.

"We wish to visit Master Tang San in the inner city. What procedures are required?" Hawke asked politely.

"Go about 500 meters that way." The guard pointed in a direction. "Turn right there, and you'll see a Martial Soul Branch Hall. Go there to apply."

"Okay, thank you." Hawke expressed his gratitude and led Tang Luoya in the direction the guard pointed. They arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Hall, asked the guard outside which department to go to, and then went inside, up to the third floor, and found the corresponding office.

The staff inside, upon learning of the two men's origins, asked them to produce proof issued by the Spirit Hall, recorded the relevant information, and then allowed them to leave.

"When can we meet Master Tang San?" Hawke asked.

"Leave your address, and you will be notified within seven days." The person pulled with both hands, and a virtual panel appeared in front of him, where he entered the two people's information.

"Holy crap! A holographic projection!" Hawke's eyes widened, unable to comprehend the extent of the Spirit Hall's internal soul-guiding technology, a chill running down his spine—

That Tang San is definitely cheating!

Tang Luoya, standing to the side, was also moved, at a loss for words... This wasn't what he had imagined. Was this some kind of science fiction world? Forgive him, he had only read *Douluo Continent I*...

"Countless people want to see the Holy Son every day. If he could meet them all, he wouldn't need to cultivate anymore." The person casually swiped the Blue Silver Spiritual Network panel, without explaining much to the two, only saying, "During the notification period, do not change your accommodation address, otherwise you will not receive the message and will have to come all the way here again and wait another seven days."

"Will we be able to see Master Tang San in seven days?" Hawke asked.

"What are you thinking? We received a notification within seven days, which is just an invitation to participate in the corresponding assessment. After all, if you don't have real skills and ask bizarre questions like 'Can mutton fat enhance physical fitness?', it will not only waste His Highness's time, but we will also be punished by our superiors." The person patiently explained, "So, please understand."

"This is nature..."
