Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 395 Resonance and Cohesion Between Essence, Qi, and Spirit

"Crazy Soul Beast City" tells the story of a soft-boned rabbit named Ribite who goes from the countryside to the big city to become a law enforcement officer. In the world of this movie, there are no humans, only soul beasts.

All the spirit beasts walk upright, are eloquent, and possess human-like intelligence.

However, soul beasts vary in size, which means that even if they overcome the predator-prey relationship in the food chain, their size will cause a series of problems.

This big city isn't very friendly to tiny soul beasts.

"Are you sure this isn't plagiarism of Zootopia?" After watching it once, Tang Luoya's eyes twitched, and memories of his past life that he had almost forgotten resurfaced in his mind.

Ruibit, isn't that just a transliteration of the English word for rabbit?

That's a bit too perfunctory!

Moreover, the plot is almost identical.

Hawke said, "It's alright. At least this animated film isn't 3D; every frame is hand-drawn. Besides, the spirit beasts in the film are much more dazzling than ordinary animals."

"You just said 'Zootopia'?" A clear, melodious female voice came from behind. Xiaoqing and Xiaobai walked up to the two of them and looked them over.

"A time traveler?"

Hawke's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure, knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, and tentatively asked, "You too?"

"Okay." Xiaobai nodded. "Let's go outside to talk."

"Indeed, there are too many people and too many eyes here." Hawke looked around, called out to Tang Luoya, and then followed Xiaobai and Xiaoqing, who were dressed as maids, out of the cinema.

"I didn't expect to run into someone from my hometown here," Xiaobai laughed. "When you guys were discussing Zootopia, I thought it was just a new movie made in this world. But when I asked you about it, you actually admitted it."

"There's no way to hide it. My expression has already given me away. Even if I don't admit it, you'll still suspect me." Hawke laughed openly. "Are you maids from some wealthy family? That's pretty pitiful."

"Fortunately, the owners of the house are quite nice to us sisters," Xiaobai said with a smile.

Got it!

Like Tangluoya, it has been assimilated into the indigenous culture!

Hawke had a basic understanding of the two women and asked, "What does your master do? My brother and I are quite capable and hope to make a name for ourselves."

"You will be rewarded later!"

Since I've decided to leave Spirit City, I should get to know the people there before I leave, make a friend or two so we can stay in touch in the future.

The best choices would have been Lou Gao and Si Long, but unfortunately Tang Luoya's blacksmithing talent was limited, so he couldn't gain their approval or even meet them.

Those kinds of people have no interest in anything other than forging, not to mention they're both penniless and can't even afford a gift...

As for inviting these two women to join the Transmigrator Alliance... Hawke didn't want someone like that who might spill everything in bed, and besides, their strength wasn't high, only at the Great Soul Master level.

Their strength is a bit lacking.

"Are you Soul Masters? What level?" Xiao Bai thought that recruiting some security personnel for the Soul Martial Manor was a good choice. Maybe the Holy Son would even reward them.

The premise is that these two are quite capable; otherwise, they would only be able to introduce them to a job that would allow them to live here, out of consideration for their shared experience as transmigrators.

"Our strength is approaching that of a Soul King," Hawke said with a confident smile.

"Approaching Soul King level?" Xiao Bai exclaimed in surprise, sizing up the two of them. "At your age, reaching this level of strength is already genius..."

"...Could they be spies from some organization?" Xiaoqing chimed in, becoming wary of the two.

"Don't say that. If we were really spies, the Spirit Hall would have arrested us long ago," Hawke said with a laugh, hoping to steer the conversation away from the topic.

"That's true. If you were spies, you wouldn't be able to escape the Spirit Hall's investigation at all." Xiao Qing agreed, revealing her trust in the Spirit Hall.

This made Hawke even more wary, but he still asked, "With our strength, are we allowed to go to your master's house?"

"That's enough." Xiaobai and Xiaoqing exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes—the Holy Son also needed to cultivate his own team, and these two were transmigrators, just like them, so they would definitely be able to look after each other in the future.

So Hawke and Tang Luoya followed the two into the inner city and saw the real Spirit City: just as rumored, almost everyone on the road had spirit power, and spirit masters were everywhere.

As they got closer to the center of the spirit, the two became increasingly shocked, especially by the Douluo Hall at the top, which seemed to emanate some kind of power, making them feel somewhat oppressed.

The legacy of the angels and gods resides there!

Before they possessed the corresponding strength, they instinctively felt uneasy in the face of the true land of divine inheritance, and dared not joke around as they had before.

As for Xiaobai and Xiaoqing...

They were already used to it, and living in the Soul Martial Manor, they were more influenced by Tang San, so they were not very sensitive to the invisible pressure emanating from the Douluo Palace.

Furthermore, the weaker one's strength, the less sensitive one is to that kind of power.

Upon arriving at the gate of the Soul Martial Manor, Hawke and Tang Luoya were amazed by its vastness, which was almost the same size as the manor of a prince of the Heaven Dou royal family, suggesting that it belonged to a very important person.

Tang Luoya was worried, after all, he was born into the Haotian Sect... Although Wuhun City didn't seem to be too hostile to the Haotian disciples at the moment, who knew that the people here didn't like the Haotian Sect?

The inner and outer cities of the Spirit Hall are not entirely the same; the inner city is mostly populated by the families of high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall…

"Where did you two go?" Gu Yuena followed their scent and came over. "As my followers, even on your days off, you have to report your whereabouts to me."

"We've gone to see 'Crazy Soul City'," Xiao Bai complimented. "Miss Na'er's script is excellent."

Was the script for "Crazy Soul Beast City" written by this silver-haired little girl in front of me?

Hawke and Tang Luoya looked at each other in bewilderment: Could this also be a time traveler?

In fact, Gu Yuena wrote the script for "Crazy Soul Beast City" simply because she was imitating Xiao Wu's style of writing novels in her spare time. Unlike Xiao Wu's style of describing the habits of soul beasts, she was thinking about what would happen if soul beasts had the intelligence of humans, could use tools and build houses, but did not transform into human form.

In the end, it was discovered that even if the soul beasts overcame the conflict between prey and predator, they could not coexist perfectly. The problems caused by the size difference alone were enough to cause frequent conflicts between soul beasts.

The "madness" of "Crazy Soul Beast City" lies in this: it is a fantasy, something that can never be turned into reality.

However, Gu Yuena was only responsible for writing the script; the filming and other aspects were completely left to others. She herself did not participate and simply enjoyed the profits.

Having spent a considerable amount of time with Tang San, she realized one thing: she needed to be wealthy and couldn't rely entirely on Tang San, her "pet owner." Otherwise, even if she wasn't a pet, she would truly become one.

"Not bad flattery." Gu Yuena didn't react much to Xiaobai's praise, her gaze falling on Hawke and Tang Luoya. "Who are these two? Your boyfriends? Looks like you've given up..."

"No!" Xiaoqing quickly waved her hand, "They are from our hometown and want to find a job."

"Work?"

Gu Yuena imitated Tang San, rubbing her chin and circling around the two of them a few times.

"His soul power fluctuations are close to those of a Soul King, so his cultivation talent is quite good. One is an extreme water element, and the other carries a tiny bit of destructive attribute. If you're not paying attention, you almost wouldn't notice it."

"Tell me, whose people are you working for?"

Hawke dared not be careless towards the exquisite girl in front of him, because he could not sense the fluctuations of her soul power, but she could sense their strength level.

Sit down!

This "girl" is definitely not as simple as she seems on the surface.

"Hello, esteemed lady, I am a free spirit master, and this gentleman is from the Haotian Sect." Hawke betrayed Tang Luoya without hesitation—better to sacrifice a friend than himself.

If this person doesn't have any ill will towards the Haotian Sect or its disciples, then everything is fine, the plan will proceed as usual, and they can befriend the master of this place and leave a trace of goodwill. However, if they care about it or even hate it, then they really have to sell out Tang Luoya as a pledge of loyalty, since fellow villagers are meant to be swindled.

"The Haotian Sect, I know it, one of the three upper sects." Gu Yuena nodded. "I heard that the people there have some mental health issues?"

Tang Luoya frowned, but Hawke spoke first, saying, "That's right, the people of the Haotian Sect are all single-minded. He's a bit better... May I ask, are you the owner of this place? Or the young lady of the owner's family?"

Gu Yuena automatically placed her hands on her hips, a smirk playing on her lips: "Naturally, I belong here!"

Hearing her say that, Hawke was certain that this guy was definitely not as young as he looked. His real age might be over a hundred years old, or he might have some kind of secret to preserving his youth, or he might have reached an unparalleled level and be able to maintain his youth.

"If you want to work here, that's fine too. I'll take you to my people, and they'll make arrangements for you." Gu Yuena was preparing to take the two of them to meet Tang San. After all, they were two wild Soul Masters, so she couldn't be too casual about them. Besides, she really didn't have the authority to recruit people for the manor.

The two followed the bouncy Gu Yuena through the middle area of ​​the Soul Martial Manor and into the residential area, where they found Tang San sitting cross-legged in the courtyard cultivating, with a tall Blue Silver Emperor tree beside him.

"Two uninvited guests have arrived." Tang San opened his eyes, looked at Hawke and Tang Luoya, and then glanced at the innocent-looking Gu Yuena. He was somewhat speechless: "We are really destined to meet. You two just met before, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come and find me... To be honest, you really don't need to be so polite."

Hawke chuckled awkwardly, bowing and scraping, and said, "Then you go ahead with your work, we won't bother you any longer."

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Let's go have a cup of tea." Tang San got up and headed towards the living room. The two of them moved uncontrollably and followed him into the living room.

Tang Luoya gritted his teeth, but his body felt as if it didn't belong to him, and he had become someone else's puppet, only able to move his feet stiffly.

Why was Tang San able to control the bodies of two people?

This is naturally because Tang San has recently gained a deeper understanding of the three elements: essence, energy, and spirit.

Tang San discovered that the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir, the Soul Power Core, and the Spiritual Spirit Grid could produce a unique resonance when assisting in the transformation and circulation of essence, qi, and spirit.

This resonance is like the spread of the Big Bang, constantly sorting out every tissue and organ of the body and adjusting every cell, as if it has established a deeper connection with a certain rhythm of the entire universe... From this perspective, even if Tang San does not add or modify the Golden Core Ring, Heart Core Ring, and Spirit Ring in the future, sooner or later, he will be able to integrate his three cultivation techniques.

But it's hard to say exactly how many years later.

Tang San recorded the frequency of that resonance and discovered that every living being has a similar resonance. As long as the frequency is found, one can control the other's essence, energy, and spirit.

The resulting effect is to manipulate other people's bodies and turn them into one's own puppets.

However, this requires extremely strong computing power.

Although Tang San has already cultivated his primordial spirit, controlling these two people is not easy. If he were to control a Title Douluo-level being, he would probably need the Heavenly Dao to assist in the calculation.

However, if it is merely to disturb a person's energy and spirit, it is very simple and does not require much effort.

After entering the living room, Hawke and Tang Luoya regained their mobility, but they didn't dare to breathe loudly. They stared blankly at Tang San, with large beads of sweat on their foreheads and cheeks.

What kind of bizarre method is this?

Soul skills?

impossible!

Even if their control over soul power reaches a sophisticated level, allowing them to use soul skills without releasing their martial soul or soul rings, it's still not to the point that they can't sense any fluctuations in soul power.

Could it be mental power?

Did Tang San just give them a hint? No, they could clearly sense the flow of their own soul power and blood, a feeling they had never had before.

Tang San smiled and served tea to the two of them: "(^‐^)_ Here~~"

The two men fell silent, too terrified to say a word, simply holding their teacups and hoping Tang San would let them go... This was truly bizarre! This man was someone they couldn't afford to offend!

"What are you doing here?" Tang San poured himself another cup, took a sip, pointed at Gu Yuena sitting beside him cracking peanuts, and asked, "You're not thinking of kidnapping her, are you?"

Gu Yuena was displeased: "What are you saying? Do you think I'm so easily kidnapped? By the way, do you know these two guys?"

"We met once, at Yuexuan." Tang San put down his teacup, crossed his legs, and looked directly at the two of them.

"You've misunderstood. We just wanted to find a better job. There's a saying, 'Having learned both literary and martial arts, one can serve the emperor.'" Hawke laughed awkwardly. "Who knew that following two fellow villagers would lead us to meet you? What a coincidence!"

"Your flattery skills need more practice; they're too stiff." Gu Yuena picked up the teacup Tang San had used, took a sip of the remaining tea, and immediately stuck out her tongue: "It's a bit bitter and astringent; it's not very good."

"It's too early for a child like you to be sipping tea." Tang San took the teacup, poured more hot tea, and then asked the two, "Let's get down to business. How many people are there on your side?"

Hawke glanced at Gu Yuena and asked, "She's here, can we speak?"

"Aren't they just people from another world?" Gu Yuena sneered. "What's there to hide? In the universe, spacetime turbulence occasionally transports beings from one world to another; it's quite common."

Hawke was filled with awe, realizing this was a great master, and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Gu Yuena!"

"Amazing!" Hawke immediately gave Tang San a thumbs up, feeling that Tang San had defied the heavens by actually trying to take in his future daughter-in-law... He really knows how to play the game!

If he had the ability, he would want to too!

"There are three of us: me, Tang Luoya, and Feng Ming. Feng Ming didn't come; he's in Tiandou City, the second son of a small family..." Hawke decided to curry favor with Tang San.

If you can't beat them or compete with them, just join them. It's no big deal!

Anyway, he's learned his lesson by now that he's lived to this age!

Tang Luoya looked at Hawke in disbelief. He never expected that Hawke, the leader, would sell out the news of the Transmigrator Alliance so quickly... Sure enough, the Transmigrator Alliance has no future!

He wouldn't just submit to Tang San like that.

As a time traveler, he was confident that he was no less capable than the "protagonist"!

Looking at the two men's different expressions, Tang San leisurely sipped his hot tea and thought to himself: Hawke is not bad. He can read people's expressions. At least he is not the kind of guy who is extremely arrogant.

As for Tang Luoya, his mind has been completely corrupted by the "pride" of the Haotian Sect, and he won't be able to change it in a short time.

"Alright, when you recruit similar people in the future, send me a list of names." After listening to Hawke's description, Tang San nodded. "I won't let you work for free. I can provide your activity funds, but you need to make a detailed list of where the funds are spent and apply to me for it."

"No problem, boss." Hawke grinned lewdly, like a lackey, and even tried to massage Tang San's legs to show his loyalty.

Tang Luoya's lips twitched. He was disgusted by Hawke's behavior, but he didn't know what to do at the moment. Tang San wanted them to make their stance clear. If he didn't say anything, wouldn't that be inappropriate?

Moreover, he has already obtained the aura of Asura. As long as he condenses killing intent through slaughter, he can obtain the domain of the God of Slaughter. If he continues to cultivate the domain of the God of Slaughter in the future, he can evolve it into the domain of Asura. At that time, he may be able to receive the inheritance of the God of Asura.

Although Tang Chen has now taken over the inheritance of the Asura God, he might still be able to pass the divine test, since the Asura God's method of choosing a successor is to cast a wide net.

As long as I am better than Tang Chen, that's all that matters.

As a time traveler, he had that confidence!

Therefore, he must not lose this pride. Even though Tang San is stronger than him now, the future is uncertain. As long as he can surpass Tang Chen and defeat Tang San, it is not impossible.

"And you?" Tang San looked at Tang Luoya.
