From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 256 Tang Dynasty - Personification - Spreading Money Boy - San! [All in on the Firefly, utterly defeated, boohoo!]

"Hey everyone! Long time no see!"

In the distance, Tang San, dressed in a smart and capable outfit, walked towards the Shrek Academy students with a smile, guided by the other students.

"Huh? Where are the masters? I haven't seen them at all." Tang San was slightly surprised by the rich life force here when he approached, but he didn't show it. The life force here was far inferior to that of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Tang San was just surprised that such a special environment could appear in such a simple setting.

"Hehe, we were just talking about you. Welcome back, Tang San." Dai Mubai, with his heterochromatic eyes, sat on the grass and smiled at Tang San, who was approaching from a distance. "Teacher Yu has been busy re-deducing the Soul Ring Age Calculation in the Ten Theories of Martial Souls. He's with the teachers from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I heard that people from other Soul Master factions in Heaven Dou City have also participated in it."

Having heard about what Yu Xiaogang wanted to do, and having deduced an algorithm for calculating the age of a soul ring that could change based on the individual qualities of a soul master, Dai Mubai could only exclaim in admiration, "Truly worthy of being a master."

Of course, we have to exclude geniuses like Teacher Chen Hong. Masters are still within the realm of humans, but the things Teacher Chen Hong makes don't seem like something a human could do.

In a sense, Dai Mubai's feeling was correct, because Chen Hong had already managed to change the Soul Ring, one of the three great powers belonging to the gods. If he could continue to improve and further "demystify" the three great powers of the gods, then Chen Hong would be the true "uncrowned god".

"Oh? Congratulations, Master! He's found what he wants to do." After hearing Dai Mubai's explanation, Tang San was slightly taken aback, but then he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Having met someone like Chen Hong and even studied under him for a period of time, Tang San's feelings towards Yu Xiaogang were extremely complex. Gratitude, resentment, and sympathy all overlapped, ultimately ending with the phrase "Go to hell." No, I mean, "A teacher for a day is a father for life."

Tang San may be old-fashioned and conservative, but he's not stupid; on the contrary, he's sometimes overly clever. Therefore, Tang San vaguely senses that Yu Xiaogang treats him like a "laboratory guinea pig" (Chen Hong's nickname for Xiao Wu, which is one of the many reasons Tang San doesn't like Chen Hong). Yu Xiaogang always tries to get him to put highly risky theories into practice. At first, Tang San believed him wholeheartedly, but after experiencing more hardship, he began to vaguely sense something was wrong, especially after participating in a series of protective research experiments conducted by Chen Hong. Only then did Tang San finally realize what was amiss.

"Let's not talk about them anymore. Let's talk about this Soul Master Competition. To bring glory to Shrek Academy, I've brought back a lot of treasures for everyone!" After chatting with the Shrek members for a while and exchanging glances with Xiao Wu, who was gazing at him affectionately, Tang San walked over to Xiao Wu's side. He then gathered all the other members around him and checked the surroundings. Seeing that there were no problems, he began to act like a generous benefactor, constantly taking out precious gift boxes of various materials from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night at his waist.

Tang San is actually quite generous to his companions, but according to the original timeline, Yu Xiaogang is the one Tang San selectively forgets. Perhaps there is a hint of Tang San's dissatisfaction with Yu Xiaogang in this, after all, if it weren't for his protagonist halo, he would have been ruined by Yu Xiaogang's theories long ago.

"Brother Dai, here you go. This is a Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which should be very suitable for your martial spirit cultivation. I'll tell you how to take it later; it will greatly enhance your physique."

"Oscar, this is a Chaos Immortal Herb, capable of refining soul power. It's the most suitable immortal herb for you."

"Fatty, this is the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower, hmm. It's a fire-attribute immortal herb, probably the most suitable for you. I wonder if it can improve your martial soul problem."

At this time, Tang San, aside from his "path to death," was actually quite human-like. In the Yin-Yang Well, during his transaction with Dugu Bo, he obtained ten immortal herbs, of which he kept four for himself: Fiery Apricot Blossom, Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, and Autumn Dew of the River of Oblivion, as well as one immortal herb that could help him fuse and absorb Fiery Apricot Blossom and Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.

In just over three months, Tang San had completed his mutation in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, under Dugu Bo's extremely displeased gaze. He successfully absorbed three immortal items and, with the help of the spring water in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, completed the mutation of his Blue Silver Grass (Emperor). Now his soul power is stuck at level 40, and it is expected that his soul power will increase by many levels after the breakthrough. The vines transformed from his Blue Silver Grass martial soul have extremely strong immunity to ice and fire elemental damage. He only has one Forgetful River Autumn Water Dew left to consume.

Tang San was worried that his cultivation time would take too long and delay the Shrek Academy team's youth soul master competition preliminaries. At the same time, he missed Xiao Wu too much. Therefore, after fusing the three immortal herbs, he returned to Tiandou City with the Wangchuan Autumn Water Dew.

"Rongrong, this is the Qiluo Tulip (Douluo Continent III). Its soul power is balanced and peaceful, so it should be the most suitable immortal herb for you."

"Zhu Zhuqing"

Tang San's quota of ten immortal herbs was truly non-negotiable; not a single one could be missing. This was the bottom line Tang San set after careful consideration following his investigation of Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He himself desperately needed four of the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and each of his six companions needed at least one, making a total of ten herbs. Tang San was worried that Dugu Bo wouldn't agree, so he didn't ask for more. Instead, taking advantage of Dugu Bo's ignorance of immortal herbs, he took the ten herbs that were most suitable for the Shrek Seven Devils.

Of course, seeing his spatial soul tool, which was once full of immortal treasures, now empty, Tang San couldn't help but feel the urge to treat Dugu Bo to his favorite Clear Sky Hammer again. However, after thinking about it, he decided against it, thinking it was better to avoid trouble.

Of course, Tang San was aware that Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was a teammate of Ye Lingling, the "Battlefield Oracle" of the Royal Fighting Team. If he treated Dugu Bo to a delicious Clear Sky Hammer, what if Dugu Yan complained to Ye Lingling? Ye Lingling would also whisper in Chen Hong's ear. That bastard Chen Hong would definitely help investigate, and then the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye would be exposed. At the same time, he would offend Dugu Yan, and his bad habit of treating people to Clear Sky Hammers would spread. Ye Lingling would be offended, and Chen Hong's attitude would become unpredictable. It would be a losing proposition, a losing proposition indeed.
