Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 8 Nottingham's First Lesson

Emerging from the cafeteria, Tang San rubbed his round belly, thinking to himself, "The first floor is all-you-can-eat, which is great, but if I want my body to develop quickly, I still need to eat something better."

He has five silver soul coins, which is equivalent to five hundred bronze soul coins. That's enough to eat his fill, but not enough to eat well.

To build a strong body, you must make money.

Ways to make money...

Blacksmithing?

This is indeed one path, but he can't waste too much time on it. He needs to figure out which spirit beast he should obtain the first spirit ring from for his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Regarding Yu Xiaogang's theory: Plant-based martial souls use the soul rings of animal-based soul beasts?

Tang San thought it was nonsense.

Martial spirits are not real things, but rather a product that exists between energy and matter.

Similarly, since his Blue Silver Grass martial soul is not actually a Blue Silver Grass plant, as long as its attributes are consistent with Blue Silver Grass, animal soul beast soul rings can naturally be attached.

For example, his Blue Silver Grass has extremely strong vitality, and the Emerald Swan, an animal soul beast, also has terrifyingly strong vitality. Can't the Blue Silver Grass absorb the soul ring of such a soul beast?

Therefore, in Tang San's view, if one does not focus on evolution such as bloodline, as long as the attributes are compatible, any spirit ring produced by any kind of spirit beast can be added to the martial soul.

Otherwise, would his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul need to find a "hammer soul beast"?

In order to determine his target, Tang San went to the Spirit Hall to find information for research.

When Matthew saw Tang San arrive, he was happy but also a little surprised: "Little Tang, did you run into some trouble? Why are you here again?"

"My soul power has reached level ten. I'm going to look up information to figure out which soul beast my Blue Silver Grass should choose." Tang San's words shocked Master Matthew.

Level 10!

Is it possible to cultivate so quickly?

In the past three months, he has advanced one level each month. Including this month when school started, he has advanced four levels in total. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass has actually improved so quickly.

Is he dreaming?

Or has Tang San fallen from grace?

wrong!

The Fallen Ones are violent and cruel. Even ordinary people can tell something is wrong. Tang San in front of them has clear eyes and is definitely not one of those bastards who gave up being human in order to increase their soul power.

Moreover, the small village of Holy Soul Village has no access to the meditation methods for becoming a Fallen One.

But how did Tang San cultivate?

Whether as Tang San's elder or the master of the Notting branch, Matthew had to ask clearly to prevent Tang San from going astray.

"It's probably because my Blue Silver Grass has mutated. After all, ordinary Blue Silver Grass shouldn't have level six soul power."

The matter of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone and the Mysterious Heaven Technique must never be revealed. The cultivation speed can only be attributed to the mutation of the Martial Soul.

After all, his Blue Silver Herb is no ordinary herb.

However, that's not enough; we need to find another reason.

"Also, I've read the books in the Spirit Hall's collection. There's a concept of a simulated cultivation environment. Blue Silver Grass is everywhere. When I was in Holy Spirit Village, I always put Blue Silver Grass under my mattress, and the yard was also full of Blue Silver Grass."

Matthew believed him and laughed, "With the mutation of the martial soul and the ubiquitous simulated cultivation environment, Blue Silver Grass actually has an advantage over other martial souls in this respect... Alright, Grandpa will give you the backyard, and you can stay here from now on."

"Grandpa Matthew, I..."

"I know you don't want to take advantage of me for nothing," Matthew interrupted Tang San, his expression serious. "So, this is rented to you. The rent is for you to help clean this Spirit Hall. I won't call anyone else to clean it anymore. Can you do that?"

"Yes." Tang San understood that this was a favor Matthew was offering him, so he agreed. If he refused now, Matthew wouldn't be happy.

"Besides that, there's one more thing."

"What is it? If I can, I'll definitely help." Tang San replied without hesitation.

"You little rascal," Matthew laughed heartily. "It's absolutely within your power. That is, I hope that if you want to publish articles in the future, you will first consider our Spirit Hall's 'Spirit Newspaper'."

"That's natural."

When he wanted to publish his theories in the future, he would naturally choose the most authoritative publication, "Wuhun Daily".

To put it more practically, the only person he knows right now is Matthew, and he has no connections to submit his work to the "Tian Dou Bao" or "Xing Luo Bao".

However, Tang San was quite surprised when he first learned that there were newspapers in Douluo Continent.

In a society with such a backward system, how strange it is that newspapers still exist.

However, Tang San didn't think much of it; the existence of newspapers would help spread his reputation.

Finally, Matthew said, "There's one more thing. You can freely share any knowledge or theories you acquire that the Spirit Hall has made public. You can also share any theories you create yourself. But anything the Spirit Hall hasn't made public must never be shared. Remember that?"

"I've got it."

Tang San nodded heavily.

The precious knowledge of martial spirit cultivation is priceless; it can even transform a small family into a major sect. Naturally, it cannot be easily passed on, as it forms the foundation of a power's existence.

Afterwards, Tang San took advantage of the remaining darkness to tidy up the Spirit Hall's backyard, preparing to begin his research that evening to determine the choice of his first spirit ring...

···

the next day.

At dawn, the morning light broke the silence of the night.

Tang San rushed over. After all, it was the first class, and he needed to be there to get to know the students and teachers and leave an impression.

They met Xiao Wu on the way. She had some impression of Tang San, so she followed along.

Tang San didn't come home all night last night, which Xiao Wu found strange, but she didn't say anything.

However, upon arriving at the classroom, she only recognized Tang San among the new students. Unable to contain her curiosity, she started making conversation: "I didn't expect we'd be assigned to the same class. How lucky! What's your spirit? What level of spirit power do you have? Mine is a rabbit, a Soft Bone Rabbit, the kind of very cute little white rabbit. And, I have innate full spirit power!"

"Blue Silver Grass with innate soul power level six." Tang San said succinctly.

"Blue Silver Grass? Level six soul power, is that considered high talent?" Xiao Wu wanted to confirm the average innate soul power of human soul masters so as not to be too high-profile.

Fortunately, she encountered Tang San; if it were any other child, they wouldn't have been able to answer the question at all.

"It can be said to be excellent, surpassing 70% of Soul Masters." On the continent, those with innate Soul Power exceeding Level 5 are considered exceptionally talented and can be recruited by some major powers.

"Wow! That's amazing? What kind of talent is innate full soul power?" Xiao Wu felt that her sudden mention of innate full soul power had attracted some attention.

"His innate talent of full soul power can be described as monstrous." Tang San's words were loaded with meaning.

In the original story, Xiao Wu has the best talent for cultivation. She can eat, drink, and sleep and her soul power will automatically increase without her having to work hard to cultivate.

"Am I really that talented? Haha, you're amazing!" Xiao Wu was praised and immediately became smug, nodding repeatedly and looking at Tang San with a "you're teachable" look, thinking that this little brother was very good at flattery.

However, as she shook her head, her scorpion braid swayed back and forth, and almost no boy could resist the urge to tug it.

Tang San ultimately held back.

However, the other boys were real little boys.

Then--

boom!

As if by reflex, Xiao Wu whirled around, kicked over the table behind her, and glared at the boy who had tugged at her braid: "What the hell are you doing?"

Tang San: "???"

Old driver Ji, not to be trifled with.

"I didn't mean to, please forgive me!" The boy was startled and immediately apologized.

"snort!"

As the boy was lifting the desk, a young man in a black robe walked in, carrying a book with a black cover.

The young man came to the front of the class, put down his book, turned around and wrote the words "Mohen" on the blackboard. Then he introduced himself to Tang San and the others: "Hello everyone, from now on, I will be your class teacher. My name is Mohen. My martial soul is a spear. I have level 27 soul power and am a power attack type battle soul master."

"Now, everyone, please introduce yourselves and get to know each other. After all, for the next six years, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will all be in the same class. I hope that the students in the class can get along well."

"Start with the girl sitting in the front row."

After Mohen finished speaking, his gaze fell on Xiaowu, and he extended a finger to her.

Xiao Wu jumped up and said, "My name is Xiao Wu, the 'Wu' in 'dancing'. My spirit is the Soft Bone Rabbit. You can call me Sister Xiao Wu. I am now a one-ring spirit master, level thirteen."

After saying that, Xiao Wu very ostentatiously activated her martial soul, and the yellow soul ring that floated up and down surprised all the students in the class.

Low key?

She can't do it because of her temper.

The other students were surprised that someone would become a Soul Master right after enrolling!

Speaking of which, the graduation standard for junior academy is to become a Soul Master, which means having a Soul Ring. Shouldn't she be able to apply for graduation directly?

Mohen's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "Six years old, a hundred-year-old soul ring, is that really something a commoner can possess? Could she be a young lady from some powerful family experiencing life? This carefree personality doesn't seem like something a commoner could raise. Work-study students are usually cautious and timid. Oh well, I'll be gentler when I talk to her in the future."

After mentally labeling the long-braided girl as "not to be trifled with," Mohen gestured for Xiaowu to put away her martial spirit and said to the boy sitting next to her, "Next."

"My name is Tang San, and I come from Holy Soul Village. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, but it may have mutated, giving me level six soul power. In the three months before school started, I worked hard to cultivate, and my soul power has reached level ten. Therefore, I hope to ask Teacher Mohen for leave after class to go to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt soul beasts."

Tang San's humble yet assertive attitude caught Mohen's eye.

This is a genius among ordinary people!

Although I don't know what form the Blue Silver Grass can take, with this cultivation speed, it will definitely become a powerful Soul Master in the future.

Don't assume that just because the main characters in the original work have high innate soul power, there are many people with innate soul power of level 5 or above on the continent during the first era of the game. In those major sects, there are mostly members at the Soul Master level and below. Soul King is already considered a mid-to-high-level member.
