Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 81 Xiaorou's Fantastic Adventure

Recently, due to the appearance of the Fallen Ones, Notting City has become filled with panic. Tang San also returned to Holy Soul Village, gave Old Jack a few instructions, left some protective gear and weapons for self-defense, and stayed for nearly half a month. After confirming that everything was alright, he returned to Notting City.

Blood Sword Norman did not reappear, as if he had disappeared after killing Yang Long.

In the original story, this evil spirit master did not appear at all, so Tang San could not make a judgment on it. However, if this world were to proceed as it did in the original story, Blood Sword Norman would most likely be arrested by the Spirit Hall of Notting City.

Now, the Blood Sword Norman has killed a time traveler and disappeared without a trace, which may stir up trouble in the near future.

However, this has nothing to do with Tang San.

Upon returning to the Spirit Hall in Notting City, he was summoned by Matthew, because the Pope of the Spirit Hall feared that he might die unexpectedly during his growth, so he dispatched a Soul Saint to protect him.

Ling Yuan, a Soul Saint who never appeared in the original work.

However, in the anime, this person seems to be a minor character who dies relatively quickly, and he was also a Title Douluo?

"You are Tang San?" When Ling Yuan saw Tang San, she held a portrait of Tang San before he absorbed his first spirit ring. Comparing it to the portrait, her eyebrows slightly raised, her thin lips slightly moving, and her eyes filled with curiosity.

"It was me." Tang San nodded. "Back then, I was still very thin."

Ling Yuan stared at the figure in the painting, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, and remained silent for a long while before saying, "...Indeed quite thin."

When Ling Yuan didn't seem to understand his joke, Tang San pursed his lips and said, "It's alright, it's just that my martial soul has mutated too much, which has made me more and more handsome."

Ling Yuan put away Tang San's portrait and said, "The Pope ordered me to protect you, but don't expect me to stay by your side forever. I won't care about anything except Soul Hunting."

"I understand." Tang San didn't want a Soul Saint following him around all the time, after all, he had many secrets, and this woman obviously wouldn't do any research for him.

Therefore, a brief introduction is sufficient.

Seeing that Tang San was easy to talk to, Ling Yuan didn't waste any more words and left the office without even saying goodbye to Matthew.

The strong always have privileges.

Matthew didn't seem to care. Instead, he said to Tang San, "Little Tang, His Holiness the Pope values ​​you highly. Don't let him down."

"I will try my best. After all, I am quite flattered to have met a Soul Saint in Notting City."

After chatting with Matthew for a while, Tang San left Matthew's office. He didn't see Ling Yuan in the corridor or the hall outside the door, but he didn't think much of it.

However, Tang San had good perception. By concentrating, he was able to perceive the situation within a hundred-meter radius of himself and discovered that Ling Yuan was standing on the top of the Spirit Hall building, seemingly overlooking the entire Notting City.

"A Soul Saint, whose Martial Soul is the Wind Chime Bird, is of the wind attribute. With its agile movements, it is indeed not easy to be detected."

Tang San thought to himself, "However, the Wind Chime Bird isn't a very strong attacking spirit beast, so she should be an agility-type spirit master. According to my classification, she's a reconnaissance-type agility-type spirit master. But since she's already at the Spirit Saint level, I estimate that apart from her Martial Soul True Body, her other six spirit skills are most likely offensive. There's a small chance that one or two of them have reconnaissance abilities, but it's unlikely that she would specifically choose speed-enhancing spirit skills. And most of her spirit skills should have wind attributes."

When it comes to choosing spirit rings, even the spirit masters of the Spirit Hall can only rely on their past experience to choose the type with the same attributes as their spirit, rather than carefully selecting them.

Apart from the Title Douluos above level 95 in the Hall of Worship, most of the Title Douluos in Bibi Dong's lineage chose to join the Spirit Hall after cultivating themselves to the level of Soul Douluo (level 90) or Title Douluo, rather than being recruited and trained by the Spirit Hall from a young age.

At least, according to the original novel, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo chose to join the Spirit Hall for status and honor.

"That's good. Having a Soul Saint-level bodyguard on the surface will allow us to be bolder in doing certain things. However, we can't be too bold, or we'll have a hard time repaying this favor."

Tang San pondered the pros and cons before arriving at the Spirit Hall's backyard, where he resumed his usual cultivation routine: cultivating his spirit power, practicing control over it, researching spirit power theory, and forging iron.

Besides Xiao Wu accompanying him, Guang Ling would also come along with him to cultivate and study every day after school, doing some simple physical exercises and learning various theoretical knowledge from the Spirit Hall from Tang San.

Xiao Wu remained the same as always, not very interested in martial spirit theory, but quite interested in human lifestyle habits.

Therefore, in his spare time, Tang San taught her to write novels, record her past life experiences, and publish them.

Xiao Wu thought about it and decided it was feasible, so she actually wrote a novel called "The Girl Who Walked Out of the Great Forest". It mainly describes the adventure of a little girl born in a small town on the edge of an unknown soul beast forest who awakens the innate full soul power of a soft bone rabbit, walks out of the backward and poor village, and step by step walks into the big city to start a new life.

After reading it, Tang San felt that the scenes before age six were quite good, realistic, and refreshing, possessing a kind of primal, wild beauty. However, after age seven, it was hard to describe; it was completely imitating existing romantic storylines on the market, even down to the male lead being called "Little Tang" and the second female lead being called "Little Guang"...

What exactly are you implying?

"What do you think?" Xiao Wu blushed, but her big pink eyes revealed a strong sense of anticipation.

"I think it's going to flop."

Tang San shook his head. "Why don't you set yourself up in the book as a Soul Master who knows a lot about Soul Beasts? The main storyline is about understanding the various Soul Beasts living in the Star Dou Great Forest, and you are the Soul Master who records their living habits, breeding methods, and even their joys and sorrows."

"However, the martial soul needs to be changed. Set it to be able to help you understand the spirit beasts. Just think of any one. Don't take the setting too seriously."

Xiao Wu nodded thoughtfully: "Great idea. Let's set the protagonist's martial soul as a mutated soft-boned rabbit that can understand the speech of soul beasts."

A month later, Xiao Wu finished writing her first novel related to the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, "Xiao Rou's Fantasy Adventure," and it was published in Notting City.

This was naturally for Tang San's safety, to prevent Xiao Wu's identity from being discovered by those in the upper echelons of the Spirit Hall, and also because Matthew didn't want to submit Xiao Wu's "Xiao Rou's Fantastic Adventure" to the higher-ups.

Because the content of this book seems like a girl's fantasy, and even some of the descriptions of the habits of the spirit beasts are quite different from those recorded in the "Encyclopedia of Spirit Beasts".

In other words, according to Matthew, the error rate is relatively high. It might be acceptable as a regular children's book, but if it were submitted to higher authorities, he would probably be laughed at by his colleagues.

Therefore, this book can only be sold at one bookstore in Nottingham.

However, this book was unexpectedly popular with some children who lacked soul power, and even most students at Notting Academy liked the novel.

After all, their talents are limited; most of them will likely graduate without having raised their soul power to level ten, or may never break through to the Soul Master level in their lifetime. This children's book can introduce them to all sorts of magical soul beasts, satisfying their fantasies about them…
