Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 495 Resurrection? Or Sacrifice?

As Tang San opened the door with Gu Yuena, preparing to leave, he happened to see Wang Chen with a resentful and ferocious expression. Without saying much, he simply turned around, bid farewell to Xue Qinghe, and left the inn.

"Why did it take you so long to deliver a late-night snack?" After seeing Tang San off, Xue Qinghe turned to Wang Chen and asked.

"I heard you and Tang San talking so happily, so I didn't dare knock on the door," Wang Chen replied softly, carrying a late-night snack box and keeping his head down.

Xue Qinghe stopped and fell silent.

Just as Wang Chen thought Xue Qinghe was showing concern for him, he heard her say, "From now on, you must not call him by his name directly. You must call him Holy Son, or Earl Silverblue, understand?"

Wang Chen was stunned, on the verge of tears, but still nodded and said, "Understood, Your Majesty."

"Go and rest."

"Your Majesty, there is one more request."

"What is it?"

"My age is still within the limit, so I can participate in this Continental Elite Tournament and perhaps win honor for you." Wang Chen became confident. Five years later, his strength had reached the Soul Emperor level.

"Aren't you ashamed?" Xue Qinghe's face darkened. "Tang San and the others aren't participating, so why are you going to join in? The true purpose of the Continental Elite Tournament has always been to select talent, not to show off. Although it does have that effect, it's ultimately for the various forces to select talent."

"When you go on stage, no one will respect you. To outsiders, you are a member of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family. They will only think that I am competing maliciously to win the championship."

"At that time, the Continental Elite Tournament will no longer be a talent selection event, but an arena for major powers to fight against each other."

Wang Chen was stunned and at a loss for what to do.

Xue Qinghe then offered some inspirational advice: "Don't dwell on past failures. Be open-minded, or you'll never escape your mental predicament."

"You should know—"

"Take a step back, and the world will be a better place."

Wang Chen: "..." Such words are definitely not something Qian Renxue would say... What exactly did Tang San teach her?

But at this point, all he could do was nod in agreement...

···

In the blink of an eye, three days before the start of the Continental Elite Tournament, Tang San took Xiao Wu to the Starry Sky World and met her mother's soul.

During these years of nurturing, Xiao Wu's mother's soul has also fully recovered.

Resurrection begins today!

but--

"Xiao Wu!" Upon seeing Xiao Wu's arrival, the soul of Xiao Wu's mother, who looked almost exactly like Xiao Wu, exclaimed in shock, "Did you also die and come to the world of the dead? Is this your husband beside you? Did he die with you?"

"Mom, I'm not dead." Xiao Wu was initially quite moved by the reunion with her mother, but upon hearing her mother's question, she suddenly calmed down—her mother had been very caring when she was alive, but she was also a very lively person, a trait she inherited from her!

After Tang San's explanation, Xiao Wu's mother suddenly understood and asked, "So, I'm the only one who died? Waaaa, Xiao Wu, Mom is so sorry!"

Xiao Wu pushed away her mother's soul, who was embracing her. Seeing Tang San's ambiguous smile, her disdain for her mother grew even stronger… Putting aside the issue of the Undying True Spirit, this attitude alone brought back shameful memories Xiao Wu absolutely didn't want to recall…

"Ahem, Mom, be careful, my man is watching." Xiao Wu finally pushed her mother away, then introduced her to Tang San, "This is my mother, Xiao Rou."

"Hello, handsome young man, wanna go on a date?" Xiao Rou was quite bold, winking at Tang San and even flirting with him in front of Xiao Wu, without any shyness.

"I'm sure of it now, memory is absolutely the key to a person's soul!" Xiao Wu was so angry that the whip behind her head stood on end—her mother, Xiao Rou, was exactly the same as the one in her memory. She hadn't felt anything before, but now that she thought about it, this mother had never been responsible at all. Raising her daughter was like raising a living toy.

Xiao Rou stopped her antics and said seriously, "Thank you for taking care of Xiao Wu all these years. You even rescued a wisp of my remnant soul from that woman because of her..."

"But I also understand that even though we share the same memories, I am still not Xiaowu's original mother."

"I was restored from that remnant soul. If other remnant souls survive and have a similar opportunity, they can still be restored into another Xiaorou."

"So, please don't revive me."

Xiao Wu was startled and said, "Mom, you..."

"Xiao Wu, I'm already so happy to see you happy." Xiao Rou looked at Xiao Wu and smiled slightly. "I'm so sorry about earlier. I couldn't help teasing you as soon as we met."

Xiao Wu: "..." You've ruined my feelings! You bastard mother!

"Auntie, are you really not planning to be resurrected?" Tang San stared at Xiao Rou, having temporarily abandoned any thought about the composition of the soul, and asked curiously.

"It's best not to do anything about coming back to life." Xiao Rou shook her head. "Since I'm already dead, my body has probably already returned to nature. Even if you help me rebuild it, it will still be a different body... Besides, I might even end up competing with Xiao Wu for a man."

"cough!"

At this point, Xiaorou coughed lightly, glanced at Xiaowu who was blatantly glaring at her, and said, "Now that the child is grown up, he doesn't need my care anymore, and I'm not the original one anymore, so there's really no need to resurrect him... Speaking of which, Xiaowu, you've reached level 80 now, right? How about I sacrifice myself for you?"

Xiao Wu's soul power level is close to Tang San's. However, because she doesn't want to hunt soul beasts, she has never obtained a soul ring. In addition, Tang San can give her the aura of eternity and creation, which allows her to break free from the rule in Douluo Continent that one cannot break through without a soul ring. Therefore, she has no intention of obtaining a soul ring.

At this moment, her soul power had reached level eighty-three.

"Sacrifice? Don't be ridiculous. You're just a soul, you have no cultivation, and even if you're resurrected, you'll only be human." Xiao Wu hoped she wouldn't think about such nonsense.

"No, a sacrifice is acceptable. After all, my resurrection will require the creation of a physical body first. As long as I don't resurrect at my peak strength before making the sacrifice, it's fine," Xiaorou said, expressing her naive idea.

"That makes sense," Xiao Wu chimed in.

"So, have you considered my thoughts?" Tang San expressed his opinion, only to be glared at by the mother and daughter, as if he had disrupted their "communication."

Helpless, Tang San shrugged, signaling the two to continue.

resurrection?

Or a sacrifice?

If Xiao Rou were the original one, Tang San felt that resurrection would be the best option. However, the immortal true spirit of her soul was clearly not the original one. How could it be the same person?

Memories and the outer shell of the soul can both be replicated!
