Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 239 The Problem with the Martial Soul Begins to Emerge, and Clues of Revenge Are Revealed

If Han Li was in a relatively good mood before he spoke out, then now, soaring through the sky, he is twice as happy.

Tang Hao was already seriously injured, and this incident made his condition even worse. Most importantly, he also harbored hatred towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As everyone knows, in Douluo Continent, martial souls cannot be faked, so Han Li's ice-attribute Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda must be real.

Han Li felt no qualms about scheming against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Tang Hao. As for why he didn't take advantage of the moment to eliminate Tang Hao, it was because he had his own plans.

Han Li's desire to become a god does not entirely depend on the power of faith, but that does not mean he does not need it. He does need it, as the power of faith, this omnipotent energy, becomes increasingly important as one progresses.

In his plan, the Haotian Sect was a very important part.

Tang Hao actually plays a more important role in the story than our original protagonist, Tang San. Tang San can only be considered a result of the fact, while Haozi is the most important catalyst.

Therefore, Han Li would never allow him to die quietly in the wilderness.

The popularity of positive characters is largely due to the contrast provided by villains. Without them, the story's excitement and plot would certainly be diminished.

As for Bibi Dong, Han Li shook his head. His base of support still relied on the Spirit Hall, so this could only be considered an internal conflict. With Qian Renxue's presence, he couldn't go too far for the time being.

As for his own forces, Han Li had considered cultivating them himself, but the cost was simply too high, and even if he did manage to cultivate them, what use would it be? Was he supposed to turn around and fight the Spirit Hall?

In this situation, it would be more suitable for him to concentrate resources on cultivating a few high-end combatants.

As for the army fighting against Soul Masters, don't be ridiculous.

The so-called army fighting against Soul Masters in Douluo Continent is limited to low-level Soul Masters, those below Soul King.

Soul Masters above the Soul King level, as long as they aren't mentally unstable and recklessly charge into battle formations without paying attention to their own depletion, are usually so powerful that ordinary armies probably can't even catch a glimpse of them.

As for the methods that ordinary people can truly use to fight against Soul Masters, they are currently in Han Li's hands.

One is Tang San's prized hidden weapon, which, once produced in large quantities, can be used to mass-produce low-level Soul Masters; the other is the gunpowder formula used to launch the hidden weapon, which he did not pay much attention to.

As a modern person, Han Li knew how terrifying this thing was. As long as the amount was sufficient, even if the technique was a bit rough, at least in the Douluo Continent, no one below the god level could withstand it. As for gods, he was not yet one, so he couldn't make a judgment. After all, this gunpowder was also a product of the Douluo Continent.

Although he couldn't make the weapons, he could still offer suggestions. As long as there was a direction, with the skills of the blacksmiths' association and their various magical soul techniques, it wouldn't be difficult to achieve.

Would Han Li release it at this time? Obviously not.

Of course, the fact that he won't release it doesn't mean he won't take action.

As early as when he obtained the gunpowder formula, he had the Seven Mysteries Merchant Guild, which was already spread throughout the continent, collect materials under various pretexts and also control the resource production areas.

As for the Spirit Hall, he did not notify them.

The Spirit Hall is too large. If it takes any action, it will easily be watched by various forces, which could easily backfire.

I also need to make time to visit the Star Luo Empire and return to Wuhun City. It would be best to get everything sorted out before the Soul Master Competition, so that there will be fewer troubles later.

After quickly gathering his thoughts, Han Li sped up his return journey.

……

Inside the Heaven Dou Academy, Tang San opened his eyes in confusion as he began his cultivation.

He noticed something was wrong a few days ago, but because he still had Yu Xiaogang's matter to resolve and he was in Tiandou City, he assumed it was just because he was restless and there was not much Blue Silver Grass around, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But today, he is actually cultivating in a simulated environment. Not only are there other plants around him, but Blue Silver Grass is also everywhere. But why?

Why has his cultivation speed decreased so much?

Moreover, he vaguely sensed that all the Blue Silver Grasses were resisting him, while the other plants remained unchanged compared to usual.

Tang San got up with some doubt and walked outside. He wanted to try again in a normal environment to see if the problem was with the training ground or with him.

It should be noted that the Blue Silver Grass here has been carefully cultivated by the academy, and many of them are almost at the lowest level of soul beasts. In the past, it had a very high boost to his cultivation.

After leaving the simulated environment training room, Tang San casually chose a patch of grass to sit down, summoned his martial soul, entered a training state, and tried to touch the Blue Silver Grass.

A moment later, Tang San opened his eyes, his expression not looking good.

Similarly, he also suffered rejection from Blue Silver Grass outdoors, but because most of the outside world was filled with weeds, it was not as obvious as in the mimicry environment.

Tang San was somewhat bewildered. What exactly was going on? Could someone tell him?

However, he did not give up. Perhaps there was something wrong with the blue silver grass in this area?

Then, the students at Tiandou Academy witnessed a scene that left them quite bewildered.

Tang San began to dart between various places. Wherever he went, he would sit down on the spot, and after about a minute or two, he would stand up again with a gloomy expression, and repeat the same behavior in another place.

"Is that the senior from the second team? I think his name is Tang San? What's he doing?"

When Tang San and his friends joined the school and replaced the original second team, it caused quite a stir. In addition, after their age and talent were made public, the students were not unfamiliar with them.

"It looks like they're cultivating?"

Someone nearby scratched their head and said uncertainly.

"Cultivation? Is this some new way to accelerate cultivation? I'll give it a try."

Some people seem to have actually believed it.

And so, a rather bizarre scene unfolded: a long trail of tails followed behind Tang San.

They didn't approach him, but followed behind him. Whatever Tang San did, they did too. Gradually, more and more people gathered.

At this moment, Tang San's face was so gloomy that it looked like it was about to drip water.

Although he hasn't left the academy to take the test yet, the area of ​​Tiandou Academy is already extremely large, covering the area of ​​several mountains.

After testing him one by one, Tang San finally got a terrible answer: the problem was actually with himself.

So far, all the Blue Silver Grass he has come into contact with has rejected him.

What annoyed him even more was that a group of people were following behind him, constantly pointing and whispering about him, some finding it amusing, others believing it was a new way of cultivation.

These actions and words, when they fell into the ears and eyes of Tang San, coupled with the fact that he actually had a problem, were undoubtedly provoking him and were seen as an insult by him.

If the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needles hadn't been forged yet, if he hadn't been followed by a group of nobles, and if he hadn't been at the Royal Heaven Dou Academy, Tang San swore he would have pulled out his hidden weapon without hesitation and killed all those annoying flies.

These ignorant fools are already courting death.

There were so many people that it was hard not to notice them. Just then, Qin Ming and Ye Lingling were also drawn over by the commotion.

After learning what had happened from the surrounding chatter, Qin Ming led Ye Lingling toward Tang San.

"Junior Brother Tang San, what's going on?"

Although Flander had already informed Qin Ming that he had severed ties with Yu Xiaogang, Tang San was still Qin Ming's junior. Seeing that Tang San's expression was not good, Qin Ming still asked him with concern.

"It's nothing, I'll be going now."

Normally, Tang San might maintain a semblance of composure, exchanging a few pleasantries with Qin Ming even if he didn't want to reveal the truth.

But now, he was in an extremely bad mood. He wanted to go to Yu Xiaogang to ask him questions as usual, but when he saw Qin Ming, he remembered that the teacher had been expelled.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang was fired when he went to find Qin Ming. Thinking of this, Tang San felt even worse and even developed some resentment towards Qin Ming.

As the team leader and teacher, Qin Ming must have known the identity of the control-type soul master in the team, but he didn't remind him. Could it be that his junior brother is not as good as the nephew of the Education Commission?

Ha, he calls you "junior brother" all the time, but he won't help you with even the smallest thing. If he won't help, fine, but why doesn't he stop the teacher from speaking up?

However, he completely forgot that his ability to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and achieve his current status was thanks to Qin Ming's recommendation.

Seeing Tang San turn and leave so easily, Qin Ming smiled awkwardly and looked at Ye Lingling to the side: "He doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

"Um."

Ye Lingling echoed, but didn't say anything that would embarrass Qin Ming, which relieved Qin Ming.

"Alright, let's go to the Education Commission and tell them about your upcoming training plan. I don't think they'll refuse. This is good for both you and the team."

A genuine smile returned to Qin Ming's face.

He hadn't expected Ye Lingling's improvement to be so significant, leaping to level 46 (in disguise). Although, according to Ye Lingling, this was the result of consuming a precious herb passed down in her family, he was still quite happy.

Ye Lingling's improved healing abilities were a qualitative leap for the team, especially after he experienced the effects firsthand.

With Ye Lingling's support, even more aggressive fighting styles can be easily maintained, and the Soul Master Competition can go further.

Looking at the quiet Ye Lingling, he thought of Tang San who had just left, and upon comparison, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Well, the dean is right. We should try to have less contact with them in the future. This master and apprentice pair can never truly be trusted.

What he didn't notice was that Ye Lingling, who was walking quietly with her head down, had a strange look in her eyes.

After obtaining her fourth spirit ring and absorbing a spirit bone, she possessed a blue silver domain and had a very keen sense of plants.

Upon seeing Tang San, even without activating her domain, Ye Lingling could sense a slight incongruity. Combined with the accounts of the people around her, she immediately deduced the truth of the matter.

The Blue Silver King's revenge has arrived. Tang San is now likely being rejected by the Blue Silver Grass, and his martial soul is mostly destroyed.

Okay, I'll tell Xiao Li when I get home. He'll probably love the news.
