Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 567 Hawke's Joining

"This Hawke can actually lift a weapon weighing 108,000 jin (54,000 kg), he's really amazing. Could we try to recruit him?"

Xu Huang, following behind Tang San, had some thoughts, but then she heard Tang San say, "You came here for the Heart of the Sea God?"

"Haha, I can't hide it from you."

Hawke chuckled awkwardly, not bothering to hide anything from Xiaobai, Xiaoqing, Xuhuang, and the others. After all, Tang San hadn't asked them to leave, so he knew these things. Whether they knew or not didn't matter. "You know, I'm currently receiving the Sea God's inheritance. One of the contents of this eighth trial is to find or repair the Sea God's Heart... And that's why I only thought of you."

"No matter what, we've cooperated, so when I go to the God Realm, I can be your vanguard."

"Give me the Heart of the Sea God."

However, Tang San shook his head and said, "You're too late. The Heart of the Sea God has already been refined by Gu Yuena."

"Huh?" Hawke was dumbfounded. "Refined...refined it?"

"That's right," Tang San replied truthfully. "Although we have a good relationship, I don't treat her like an obedient maid. She has a strong sense of independence and can argue with me when she disagrees with me."

Hawke: "...Can I go talk to her myself?"

"Sure," Tang San said generously. "But she's gone back to the Star Dou Great Forest now, wanting to try and see if she can make the soul beasts' personalities resemble Pokémon's."

"So, you need to find a way to gain the trust of those ferocious beasts first."

"only--"

At this point, Tang San paused, looked at the trident symbol between Hawke's eyebrows, and said quietly, "They don't have much affection for the inheritors of the gods."

Hawke grinned, never expecting that Tang San and Gu Yuena were plotting to turn Douluo Continent into a world of Pokémon... Humans and spirit beasts living in harmony, did they really have to go this far with their dreams?

As if he could see through Hawke's thoughts, Tang San laughed and said, "When you're poor, you should cultivate your own virtue; when you're successful, you should help others. But I'm just someone who studies martial spirits and cultivation. If things go smoothly, it will be the Spirit Hall that will negotiate."

"You're so carefree." Hawke suddenly felt a little envious, and also a little regretful. Why didn't he like studying in his past life and only cared about reading novels?

"Let's not talk about that. How about we make a deal?" Tang San suddenly asked.

"What deal?" Hawke asked warily, unconsciously tightening his grip on the Trident of Poseidon. Instinct told him that it was related to this divine artifact.

"A materialized martial soul is very rare," Tang San said very seriously. "This golden trident was the Sea God's weapon martial soul before he became a god. After he became a god, it condensed into a physical form."

"As far as I know, a martial spirit can be condensed into multiple pieces. Similarly, the owner of a materialized weapon martial spirit can also condense multiple pieces, just as I can plant the Blue Silver Emperor in the Heaven Dou Realm and Martial Spirit City."

"It's just that the amount of energy consumed to condense multiple weapon spirits varies, so basically no one would do that."

"But I think the sea god of the divine realm must still possess a golden trident. Otherwise, how could he possibly contend with the other first-level gods of the divine realm if he left the artifact in the mortal realm?"

Hawke seemed thoughtful, but he wasn't interested in those things. He simply asked, "You won't break the Golden Trident, will you?"

"Break it?" Tang San chuckled. "Wouldn't that be even better? Then you can figure out a way to condense your own Trident Martial Soul into a divine weapon. After all, this thing is, in a way, the weapon of the Sea God. Can you say that your predecessor didn't leave any backup plans?"

Hawke's expression changed; he realized the problem, but he didn't know where it lay.

Tang San continued, "Of course, I estimate it's just a matter of subtly influencing someone's personality through methods like faith and divine power... What do you call the Sea God?"

Faced with this unexpected question, Hawke replied without hesitation, "Lord Poseidon."

After saying that, Hawke realized what he had said, gritted his teeth, and his eyes blazed with anger.

grown ups?

Why would he address the other person as Lord Sea God?

If they were on Poseidon Island, it would have been fine to address him as "Sir" to please the believers there. But now, even after leaving Poseidon Island, he still addresses him as "Sir".

This isn't about respect; it's about being subtly influenced!

Poseidon!

What a magnificent sea god!

No wonder he was able to conquer the entire ocean and gain the faith of most of the sea spirit beasts to him, a human god. His methods were truly ingenious.

"See, you've figured out the problem yourself, haven't you?" Tang San confirmed his suspicions. Those who inherit a god's position are, to some extent, influenced by their predecessor. "If it were anyone else in this world, I wouldn't be surprised, given the environment. But for someone like you, who has received modern education, to be superstitious and instinctively say... is this a failure of education, or is the brilliance of the Sea God's faith too dazzling?"

Hawke thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and handed over the golden trident, saying, "Here, do whatever you want with it, but can you help me solve the problem of the Divine Exam? If I can't reach level ninety-nine within twenty years, I'm dead."

"Twenty years?" Tang San raised an eyebrow.

"My talent is not as good as yours." Hawke blushed, knowing what Tang San was surprised about. After all, in the original story, Tang San's time limit for the eighth test was only five years, and he even completed it ahead of schedule.

But it would take me twenty years.

However, Hawke only wants to say that the time required for a successor like him is the normal situation. People like Tang San, who have the Xuan Tian Gong cheat code, are definitely not comparable.

"That's true." Tang San actually nodded in agreement, took the Trident of the Sea God handed to him, and slowly said, "Don't worry too much about the Divine Trial. Once you thoroughly study the Trident of the Sea God and the divine power of the Sea God, you will naturally find a way to avoid it. Moreover, you might even be able to truly forge this divine artifact into something that belongs to you."

"Previously, there was a fellow villager who thought of refining weapons into their spirits, using ordinary hundred-forged or thousand-forged weapons to refine them into his martial spirit in order to improve the quality of his martial spirit."

"He can't succeed because a martial soul is essentially somewhere between matter and energy. It's impossible to fuse a simple material metal into a martial soul. But this Trident of the Sea God isn't just a simple metal. It's materialized from a martial soul. You can convert it into energy and integrate it into your martial soul to improve its quality. It's even possible to materialize it into a divine artifact."

Hawke was extremely interested, but still asked, "What are the chances of success?"

"It's fifty-fifty." Tang San gave an ambiguous answer, but then reassured him, "Don't worry, you came here with Tang Luoya before for the Soul Armor, right? That thing is a derivative of the Soul Imprint Throne. You should know what the Soul Imprint Throne is, right?"

"I know." Hawke nodded.

Soul Seal Throne?

Isn't that just the Throne of Seal, only with a different name...?

"Wait, did you create that?"

"nature!"
