Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 99 I'm eight years old, one year older than you.

"Is this the real world of Soul Masters?"

This is the first time Tang San has personally witnessed a conflict between Soul Masters over the same Soul Beast, and as the protagonist, shouldn't he say that he truly deserves the title of "protagonist"?

"Your Excellency, we discovered this place first and have been waiting for four months. It's not appropriate to just give it up like this, is it?" Fire Phoenix stepped forward with Fire Dance, Little Dance, and Light Feather, releasing six soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—and pressing down on the other party with the aura of a Soul Emperor.

"snort!"

The old man also released six soul rings, revealing himself to be a Soul Emperor as well.

However, the first spirit ring is white, the fifth spirit ring is purple, and the sixth spirit ring is black.

Although the color of a spirit ring cannot fully represent strength, the true outcome depends on many factors such as environment, spirit, and fighting will. However, at least on the surface, the Fire Phoenix's momentum has the upper hand.

"Although you discovered this place first, the disciples of my Star Crown Sect also need the soul ring of this Sun and Moon Grass. Please give way to us," the old man said in a deep voice.

As for the source of confidence?

They were members of the Star Crown Sect.

The other six also released their spirit rings: two were Soul Masters, three were Soul Venerables, and one was a Soul Master.

Among them, one Soul Master's soul power fluctuation reached level 40, which should be the one who wants to obtain a soul ring, while the one-ring Soul Master looks to be only six or eight years old, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Wu for a long time.

"snort!"

Huo Wu released her martial spirit, and the Sun Goddess appeared. The peculiar humanoid martial spirit surprised the old man and the others.

Xiao Wu also released her martial soul and soul rings, and the two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, moved them deeply.

Although Guangling's soul power was weak, he still released the Sun Chasing Bow, pulled the bowstring, and condensed a soul power arrow, aiming it at the old man, but his gaze fell on the child who was at the first ring.

Tang San had told her that if you just aim at your opponent, it's easy for them to figure out who you're going to attack and the trajectory of your arrow, so you have to be unexpected.

Therefore, her real target was actually that one-ring Soul Master with a Star Crown Martial Soul, that six or seven-year-old child, not the six-ring Soul Emperor.

Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Tang San also released his martial soul and soul rings. The yellow and purple soul rings greatly shocked the elder of the Star Crown Sect.

That's Blue Silver Grass?!

Is it possible for this kind of martial soul to be cultivated to the level of a Great Soul Master, and even to obtain a third soul ring?

"Senior, may I ask your name? I am Tang San," Tang San introduced himself.

"Tang San? Are you that master of martial spirit theory?" the old man asked tentatively.

"It's me." Tang San nodded in acknowledgment. "I've now reached level 30 and need a spirit ring. Besides, we were the first to discover this Sun and Moon Grass. Senior, could you perhaps find another one?"

The old man pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, Sun and Moon Grass is rare. My nephew is currently level 40, and with the addition of the Thousand-Year Whale Glue, his physique has been strengthened, allowing him to withstand a Soul Ring with a cultivation level of over 7,000 years. Searching for it again would waste an unknown amount of time in this endless desert."

"Therefore, we ask Master Tang San to allow us to find another one elsewhere. Our Star Crown Sect is willing to pay a reward of three thousand gold soul coins."

Three thousand?

Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?

Although the Sun and Moon Grass can only provide a single skill to a Soul Master, this type of plant Soul Beast is relatively rare. A seven-thousand-year-old Sun and Moon Grass is worth at least 30,000 gold Soul Coins!

After all, this kind of grass itself has a certain effect on enhancing mental strength.

Tang San's eyes turned slightly cold as he said, "Shouldn't we follow a first-come, first-served order?"

"I call you a master, but don't take yourself too seriously."

The old man didn't stand on ceremony. Although Tang San's theory had indeed benefited many soul masters on the continent, the major sects, especially the four lower sects, didn't take it too seriously. This was because the whale glue that could directly enhance their sects was already scarce on the market by the time they started collecting it.

Moreover, the theories that Tang San has published so far are not very important to sects like theirs that have family traditions, since these things cannot change their family's situation in a short period of time.

Therefore, those who admire Tang San are mostly commoner soul masters, followed by insightful individuals from large families, such as the Fire Phoenix.

However, this old man from the Star Crown Sect looked down on Tang San.

Besides their advanced age and the difficulty in changing their mindsets, the more important reason is that they believe Tang San was just lucky to have discovered the correct way to use whale glue.

"I'm not taking myself too seriously; I'm just stating the facts. We did discover this Sun and Moon Grass first, and I have the right not to give it to you," Tang San said bluntly. "Furthermore, you sect disciples should be well aware of how much the Spirit Hall, which focuses on recruiting commoner soul masters, values ​​me. If I join the Spirit Hall, many commoner soul masters might not hesitate anymore. So, if I propose to the Pope that we destroy the Star Crown Sect, do you think the Pope will agree?"

The old man's imposing aura pressed down on Tang San, and he shouted, "Are you threatening us?"

The fiery phoenix's aura met the old man's attack head-on, blocking his path, and it sneered, "To attack an eight-year-old child, is this the magnanimity of the lower four sects? No wonder your Star Crown Sect hasn't produced a single Title Douluo in all these years."

"I am worth it." Tang San wouldn't waste words on someone who was hot-tempered, unreasonable, and only wanted to intimidate others with force. He bluntly threatened, "A mere lower four sects in exchange for me, who can win the hearts and minds of 80%, or even 90%, of the commoner soul masters on the continent. It's a very worthwhile price."

The old man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, wishing he could kill Tang San on the spot. However, the presence of the Fire Phoenix made him wary. After all, although he could hold her off, he might not be able to defeat her because of his advanced age. If he lost, this woman would definitely take her anger out on the six people he brought.

"Elder Xing, don't be angry." The young man from the Star Crown Sect stepped forward to comfort him, then looked at Tang San and scolded, "Tang San, you don't need to use your power to bully others. Since you want this spirit ring, follow the rules of the spirit master world and have a match with my cousin. If you win, this Sun and Moon Grass will be yours."

"What a quick-witted brat."

Fire Phoenix sneered, "Is this the new generation cultivated by the lower four sects? Not only do they not understand right from wrong, but they also let a level 30 Quasi-Soul Venerable compete with a level 40 Quasi-Soul Sect Master. It's truly absurd."

"You didn't even have a legitimate reason to issue this challenge!"

"We have every reason to refuse the challenge!"

The child remained composed and dignified: "In the world of Soul Masters, strength has always been paramount, hasn't it? I don't think this senior is Tang San's elder, is he?"

"That's definitely not the case," Tang San spoke first. "We only met them while hunting souls, and we were just traveling together. This matter has nothing to do with them."

"Tang San, what do you mean by 'irrelevant'?" Huo Wu protested. "When I become powerful and a Title Douluo, I will definitely destroy the Star Crown Sect and avenge you."

"I appreciate the sentiment, but I hope Sister Huowu won't be so outspoken in the future. Didn't you see how angry that old man's face turned red, like a monkey's bottom?" Tang San joked, then asked the child, who looked about his age, "How old are you this year?"

"Seven years old," the child replied.

"I'm eight years old, one year older than you."

"·····"
