Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 82 A semester passed in the blink of an eye

"To say that my novel is children's literature, Grandpa Matthew has no taste at all."

Although "Xiao Rou's Fantastic Adventure" sold well, and the revenue was split 30/70 with Notting Bookstore, Xiao Wu would receive nearly 20 gold soul coins every month. However, she still had some complaints about Matthew No's "lack of vision".

"Don't be angry, didn't you make money?" Tang San took out the original manuscript written by Xiao Wu from his storage wristband and looked through it carefully.

The people of the Spirit Hall would think that Xiao Wu's description of the habits of the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest differed from the records and was just her imagination, but Tang San would not think so.

At the very least, a Soft Bone Rabbit that has lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for 100,000 years has a greater understanding of soul beasts than anyone else on the Douluo Continent.

"That's true. I get about twenty gold soul coins every month, and after becoming a Great Soul Master, the Spirit Hall will give me ten gold soul coins every month. I have thirty a month, which can buy a lot of good things."

Xiao Wu is someone who can't hold onto money. Every month, she spends all her earnings within half a month, mostly on buying all sorts of pretty clothes.

Therefore, Tang San never accompanies Xiao Wu shopping.

When Xiao Wu is short of money, she will at most eat with Tang San. She won't ask Tang San for help in other matters because she knows that Tang San's research is very expensive.

In particular, Tang San recently began researching soul tools, disassembling many life-related soul tools, and using the gold soul coins he theoretically obtained to purchase life-related soul tools in larger cities.

For Tang San, soul tools are the future of soul masters.

Or rather, the soul-guiding patterns engraved inside the soul-guiding device are the true future of a soul master.

While Tang San was researching soul tools, Ling Yuan approached him once, telling him not to focus on these everyday soul tools. Tang San verbally agreed, but in reality, he continued to do as he pleased.

In his view, understanding the basic principles of soul guide patterns is far more important than soul rings. He even has a conjecture that these soul guide patterns evolved from the flow of soul power inside soul rings, and are the result of the research on soul rings by ancient people who lived countless years ago.

Even though Soul Masters don't value everyday Soul Tools, the Soul Guidance Patterns within them are, in Tang San's eyes, the crystallization of the great wisdom of the ancestors of Douluo Continent, and their value is even more precious than a 100,000-year Soul Ring or Soul Bone.

Furthermore, these soul-guiding patterns may very well be close to the extraordinary essence of this world.

If we can understand it thoroughly, then what is God?

Seeing this, Ling Yuan didn't try to persuade him any further. After all, she was only responsible for protecting Tang San's safety. Whatever he wanted to research was none of her business, and she didn't need to worry about it too much.

In the blink of an eye, another semester has passed.

Tang San's soul power increased to level 26. The speed of soul power cultivation during the Great Soul Master period was not as fast as that during the Soul Master period, but this speed was still comparable to the innate full soul power.

Xiao Wu's soul power reached level twenty-five.

After all, she didn't have as many things to do as Tang San. Usually, besides going to Notting Academy to show off her boss status and prevent noble students from bullying work-study students, she would write novels before going to bed every day. The rest of the time was basically spent cultivating soul power, practicing tree climbing, learning how to use short swords, and controlling the scorpion tail braid behind her head.

And what about Tang San?

They also need to study martial spirit theory, study qi and blood vibration, work at the blacksmith shop, study soul guides, study the effects of existing drugs on the market, and study some peculiar metals.

Reaching level 26 in one semester is incredibly fast.

In addition, Guangling's soul power also improved remarkably. Within a semester, it rose from level three to level eight, a speed that seemed unbelievable for someone with only level three innate soul power.

However, if you take into account the amount of millennium whale jelly she consumed this semester, then this rate of soul power increase is not surprising.

Although the primary function of whale glue is to enhance physical fitness, it also contains a certain amount of energy, which can slightly increase a Soul Master's Soul Power.

Of course, you need to eat a lot.

However, the increased speed of Guangling's soul power increase is probably not only due to this, but also because her understanding of archery and similar skills is constantly improving through practice.

This coincided with Tang San's idea: as long as one's understanding of martial souls increases, the affinity between a soul master and their martial soul can be strengthened, thereby increasing the cultivation speed of the martial soul.

However, this approach is not yet evident in Guangling, since she has the added benefit of whale glue. Theoretically, a single factor needs to be proven, but Guangling has gained too many additional factors. To truly prove this in the future, other factors need to be excluded.

Perfect timing! Tang San has almost used up the remaining Millennium Whale Glue this semester. Next semester, he can see how fast Guang Ling's cultivation speed is and use that as a basis for his assessment.

Besides soul power, Tang San also grasped a bit of the secrets of cultivating qi and blood. With Wang Sheng, whose first soul skill was Tiger King Qi and Blood Transformation, assisting in the experiments, the experiments were naturally extremely convenient.

This cultivation technique for refining qi and blood, when combined with the Xuan Yu Hand, produced a peculiar change, actually causing the bones in his hands to be stained with a color like white jade.

Tang San used a knife to cut open the skin on his finger and saw with his own eyes that the color of the finger bone of his little finger was different from the other finger bones, like silver jade.

In the past, Xuan Yu Hands only used soul power to condense on the hands, making the skin look like white jade. But now, he has turned his fingers into silver jade, and it is a normal state, without needing to use Xuan Yu Hands.

Tang San didn't know if this would affect his physical development, but it was obvious that it had no effect on the flow of soul power. In fact, the strength of his right little finger was greater than that of his other four fingers.

This made Tang San realize that combining his blood and qi with his soul power and condensing it into his bones would be beneficial to him. So he decided that after the bones in both hands had solidified into silver jade, he would try to use the method of cultivating the Xuan Yu Hand to cleanse all the bones in his body. Perhaps there would be unexpected and wonderful effects.

Wang Sheng also benefited from this process, as Tang San taught him a cultivation method that allowed him to use soul power to stimulate his blood and qi without using soul skills.

However, Wang Sheng's perception was limited and his control over his soul power was poor, so he could only exhibit an explosive mode. Therefore, Tang San suggested that he try to gather his soul power and blood energy into his five claws.

Although his martial soul is a tiger, he cannot use his true martial soul form before reaching the Soul Saint level. He can't really use his mouth to bite his enemy, can he?

You can only use your claws.

Moreover, given Wang Sheng's talent, whether he can become a Soul Saint in the future is still unknown. After all, Tang San can't be his babysitter forever; he can only plan his general future development.

In Tang San's view, as long as Wang Sheng can make good use of his first soul skill and immerse himself in the path of blood and qi for many years, he may well leave his own legend on the continent in the future.
