Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 485 discusses Tang San's cultivation level.

"Tang San, do you see this? This is the woman's true face!" The Clear Sky Hammer emerged from Tang San's left hand and split open, transforming into the Nine-Headed Clear Sky Hammer.

Because Tang San's strength reached level 99, the Clear Sky Hammer, which was born with him, also grew to its peak state, namely: the Nine-Headed Chimera.

Fire, light, wind, water, poison, death, darkness, nirvana, destruction.

The first five attributes are inherited from the previous rebirth, the death attribute comes from the experience of hunting the Fallen Norman and first meeting the Cloud Tree; destruction, without a doubt, is Austin Griffin himself.

As for Nirvana, it was because Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor absorbed the Phoenix Wutong. In order not to fall behind the Blue Silver Emperor and to gain the ability to continuously evolve, Austin Griffin borrowed a part of his own origin to replicate Nirvana and fix it as the attribute of the eighth head, in order to catch up with the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Heh, aren't you just another version of me? Why are you so agitated?" The Lord of Eternity was unfazed by Austin Griffin's sarcasm, instead chuckling, "Or are you jealous that Tang San uses me more often than you?"

"You're the one who's jealous!" Austin Griffin cursed. "You're just a latecomer who took over the Blue Silver Emperor title. I've been with Tang San since he was a child. Can you compare?"

"Tsk tsk." The Lord of Eternity chuckled contemptuously twice, then disappeared back into the Blue Silver Emperor, leaving Austin Griffin outside roaring, "Damn it, why are you running away? Come out here! That wretched guy, even if he's not the original creator god, he's still just as annoying! Tang San, don't trust him!"

Tang San remained silent, ignoring the matter, and carefully examined Austin Griffin's nine heads, asking a question: "Are your nine consciousnesses now integrated?"

“Of course.” Austin Griffin’s nine pairs of eyes gleamed purple as he grinned, as if he had remembered something. He immediately said, “Although I have reached my peak, challenging you still requires careful consideration. You can’t just ask me to challenge you now.”

"I'm not talking about an agreement... By the way, can it be divided into nine consciousnesses? I feel it's cuter the way it is." Tang San made a request that left Austin Griffin speechless.

"First of all, I am not schizophrenic. Secondly, I do not have multiple personalities. Finally, I will not repeat the mistake I made last time." Austin Griffin's scale armor was made of the Clear Sky Hammer material, and it was pitch black. But at this moment, the color of his nine faces seemed even darker, and his nine pairs of small purple eyes glared angrily at Tang San. "Also, all nine wills are me."

"No, that's not it." The head representing death, Tian Si, suddenly broke free and confronted the other eight heads. "I am an independent individual, and I only obey my master."

The voice of the dying is similar to that of Austin Griffin, except that it is much gentler.

This head was born from the collection of soul fragments absorbed from the Cloud Tree. Although it only provided the attribute of death and usually behaved submissively, it turned out to be the most unique one.

Next, the head representing darkness became independent, followed by the five heads representing light, fire, wind, water, and poison. Finally, the head representing the attribute of "Nirvana" also became independent again.

Although Nirvana's head was the last to be born, Nirvana was naturally close to Tang San and naturally resented Austin Griffin, the ninth head that represented destruction.

"You bastards! Are you trying to rebel again?!" Austin Griffin roared, struggling to control the eight unruly heads, but ultimately found himself unable to do so, as if eight other consciousnesses had sprung up inside his brain—

How is that possible?!

It was one thing to encounter that stubborn Long Haochen last time, but my other consciousness was also confused, causing me to truly have a split personality... Even though I had taken precautions, why did I disobey again?

and many more!

This is not a real physical body, but Tang San's martial soul: the Clear Sky Hammer!

"What did you do?" Austin Griffin demanded.

"It's nothing much. I just wanted you guys to be independent, and then, they really were separated... Martial Souls can sense my mind and change accordingly. Although the Clear Sky Hammer isn't my main Martial Soul, my soul power has increased to this level, and the number of your heads is constantly strengthening the Clear Sky Hammer, making it even closer to my mind..."

Tang San was about to launch into a long speech when Austin Griffin interrupted him, demanding, "Get to the point! What's going on here?"

"Simply put, the Martial Soul belongs to me. Unless I grant you freedom, I can allow your other eight consciousnesses to become independent. In other words, from now on, the nine of you are equal in status and will no longer be ruled by your single head." Seeing that Austin Griffin was getting impatient, Tang San stated the final result and comforted him, "Actually, this is a good thing. At least you can get along well and cooperate with each other."

"Have I brought this upon myself?"

The head representing destruction suddenly regretted throwing itself into Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, because now it would really become a multiple personality disorder patient!

Unconsciously, tears welled up in Austin Griffin's eyes as he recalled his past relationship with his ex, a time when his own head had rebelled against him.

It's a little better now, though. The consciousnesses of these eight heads are all newly born, and the memories of that life are all within his main consciousness of destruction. This is one of the reasons why he doesn't only think about destroying everything.

"Don't be so pessimistic. After all, you won't be bored anymore. You can chat more with the other eight versions of yourself, so you won't be lonely and your mental health will be better..."

"Talking to yourself? How could you even think of that! Doesn't that just make you even lonelier? Meeting you is the worst luck imaginable!" Austin Griffin cursed, transforming into his Clear Sky Hammer form and ignoring Tang San.

"This guy has a talent for being arrogant." Tang San muttered to himself, ignoring the trembling of the Clear Sky Hammer, and put it away. He took a step forward and returned to Wuhun City.

So close yet worlds apart!

That's all!

Having reached level ninety-nine, even without using the Fusion Ring, his strength was comparable to that of a first-level god. In addition, having absorbed the Star River Soul Ring of the Throne of the God of Eternity and Creation, he could control space and travel thousands of miles in an instant, which was nothing unusual for him.

At this time, the trial of the Sun Moon Army in Wuhun City had just ended. Emperor Qinghe, Emperor Xingluo, and the Emperor of the Avalanche Federation were kept behind by the Pope of the Wuhun Hall, who hoped that they would stay in Wuhun City for a while longer. The reason was that the start of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament was only about three months away, so it would save them from having to come back again at that time.

After some deliberation, the three emperors decided that staying here for three months would ensure the stability of the empire. After considering their options, they decided to stay and discuss the rules of this year's competition.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that "with the relaxation of the scope of participants and the increase in the number of participants" necessitates adjustments to the rules; otherwise, the preliminary rounds alone could take more than half a year to complete.

After discussing the matter for a while in the Papal Palace, Xue Qinghe suddenly looked directly at Bibi Dong and asked, "Your Holiness, didn't you say that Tang San would also participate in the formulation of this year's competition rules? Where is he?"

Xue Beng also asked, "Yes, where is the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?"

Dai Lego also showed a look of doubt.

Bibi Dong said calmly, "The Holy Son is busy with many affairs. When I said he would set the rules, I was only assisting, not participating in the whole process. Besides, his soul power has reached a bottleneck stage, and he is currently hunting soul beasts."

"Oh?" Emperor Qinghe looked at his mother, whose expression remained unchanged, and continued to ask, "Bottleneck? Could it be that Tang San has already broken through to the Soul Douluo level?"

"A Titled Douluo." Bibi Dong glanced at her now unruly daughter and uttered those four words, then continued, "To be honest, I didn't expect his cultivation speed to be so fast..."

Bibi Dong also knew about what happened in the Eternal Domain. After all, Tang San's level 97 soul power when he came out of the Eternal Domain was really dazzling.

And it also brought out two pointy-eared elves.

However, Bibi Dong was not jealous. On the contrary, she was excited and even felt that Tang San was becoming more and more charming... Perhaps it was because Tang San had stayed in the Eternal Domain for more than a hundred years that he truly possessed the mature charm to attract young women.

Putting aside these personal subjective thoughts, what surprised Bibi Dong the most was that the Throne of the God of Eternity and Creation actually came with the divine position of the Creator God, allowing Tang San to ignore the rule that he needed a Soul Ring to break through the bottleneck.

This is absolutely outrageous!

If someone obtains this throne at the age of six, they can first raise their soul power to the level of a Title Douluo before hunting soul beasts.

In that way, you can obtain at least nine spirit rings that are over 50,000 years old! And the energy that the spirit rings themselves carry is enough to raise your spirit power to level 95 or higher!

"Title Douluo!"

Emperor Qinghe exclaimed in surprise, his voice even becoming high-pitched from excitement.

However, the others didn't pay attention, because they were also shocked by the information revealed by Bibi Dong.

Tang San's talent is undeniable, and his combat strength is outstanding, but has half a month passed since the Sun Moon Empire's invasion until now? He was a Soul Saint before, and now he has become a Title Douluo... Something must have happened.

The most likely explanation is that he obtained something from the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, which allowed him to break through his cultivation level quickly. But this is someone else's spoils of war and opportunity, so what reason would they have to make Tang San hand it over?

Besides, if they really forced him, Tang San alone might be able to take on all three of their empires.

Oh no, it's two countries.

Emperor Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire was secretly in cahoots with the Spirit Hall.

"There's no need to be so surprised. For Tang San, isn't this an easy task?"
