Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Saint Master, Twelve Talismans Chaotic the Continent

Chapter 161 Curiosity

……

"Teacher, this arrangement..."

After Xue Qinghe left, Tang San couldn't hold back anymore.

He knows his own abilities best.

Within the Soul Venerable realm, he was confident that he would never lose to anyone, but if the opponent had a Soul Master or even a Soul King, then things would be troublesome.

External objects cannot be used in the Soul Master Competition. Although his third soul skill, Blue Silver Thrust Array, can create a lot of hard Blue Silver Grass for him to use as hidden weapons, the hardness and offensive power of Blue Silver Grass are indeed too poor.

Concealed weapons lack lethality and concealment, which greatly reduces their effectiveness!

Those sharp blue silver grasses are fine for control and interference, but to expect them to harm Soul Masters or Soul Kings is pure fantasy.

"Don't worry, Xiao San, I have a way to help you get promoted," Yu Xiaogang said.

Tang San gave a wry smile. "Teacher, the Soul Master Competition will be over soon. How could I possibly achieve that kind of improvement in such a short time?"

Although Dugu Yan's words were harsh, they were the truth.

His cultivation level is too low. This arrangement is fine against teams of the same level, but if he faces a Soul Master team or a Soul King team, this formation is really suicidal.

"Of course it's possible," Yu Xiaogang said confidently.

"Didn't you see how much Xiao Wu and the others have improved?"

"Them?" Tang San was taken aback.

Before she disappeared, Xiao Wu was level 33, but when they met again, she had reached an astonishing level 44!

Ye Lingling was only level 35 when she was in Soto City, but when she reappeared, she had also received a huge boost. Now, like Xiao Wu, she has reached level 49, and there is even hope that she can reach level 50 before the finals and become a Soul King.

Ning Rongrong was the same; not only did her soul power level skyrocket, but her martial soul also evolved.

Rumor has it that their improvement was due to taking a special divine medicine, and that this divine medicine is the reward for this Soul Master Competition.

For some reason, Tang San's expression turned somewhat unnatural. "Teacher, you wouldn't...?"

"Xiao San, just focus on your training. I'll take care of everything for you," Yu Xiaogang said confidently.

Since this item was provided by the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, as the Pope, must have it!

In the past, he would never have had such thoughts, but things are different now.

Tang Hao said that the legendary Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect will appear in the finals!

At that time, Tang San will be able to openly use his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul!

Moreover, with Tang Chen's appearance, the seven major sects have a backbone and no longer need to fear the Spirit Hall!

……

The Temple of Martial Spirits.

After the Soul Master Competition began, Hu Liena returned to Wuhun City and trained with the Wuhun Hall team, but Bibi Dong did not return.

"What exactly is your relationship?"

Xue Di appeared beside her at some point, looking at Bibi Dong who was in a daze.

Bibi Dong slightly raised her eyelids. "Why are you asking this?"

"I... am curious," Xue Di said earnestly.

"I do not understand human emotions. In my hundreds of thousands of years of life, the humans I have seen are greedy, violent, bloodthirsty, and willing to sell everything for profit."

"But he... is different. I can't understand his emotions and thoughts at all."

"Normal." Bibi Dong straightened up.

"If you can understand him, you're not far from going mad."

At first, she was a madwoman, while Nan Feng was relatively normal. However, as if the brain were conserved, Nan Feng's normal parts were transferred to her, turning her into a normal person. But her crazy parts went to Nan Feng, or rather, Nan Feng embodied all the madness of the City of Slaughter!

"But you seem to understand him," Xue Di said.

"It's not that I understood him; he had already told me the relevant answers before," Bibi Dong said.

"It's just taking it personally."

"Can you tell me about it?" Xue Di asked.

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "Why do you care about this?"

"I'm curious," said Xue Di.

"..."

"You like him?" Bibi Dong asked.

Xue Di shook her head. "I don't know. I just see that empty look in him. It's similar to me before, but different. I used to be someone who didn't know anything, just an empty loneliness. I didn't have any desire to possess anything."

"But he..."

"The despair that follows the understanding of everything," Bibi Dong said.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Yes." Xue Di looked puzzled.

"I want to know why he did that."

Bibi Dong paused for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you briefly. This is what he told me before: a person's intellectual development can be roughly divided into three stages."

"The first stage is a stage of confusion and conformity. In this stage, individuals have not yet recognized themselves, are unclear about their aspirations and goals, and their behavior is mostly driven by instinct and influenced by the external environment."

"During this period, human behavior seemed to be controlled by the brain and senses, and development was limited because individuals had not yet realized the true pursuit of life and were simply blindly conforming to worldly standards."

"This is the stage most people are in; many people never understand the true meaning of life or the significance of existence, even in their old age."

"They may have struggled, but faced with difficulties, they ultimately chose to give up. For them, time seemed to have no value and became an easy target for capital to plunder."

"However, this does not mean that their lives lack happiness. They have obtained corresponding material rewards through worldly efforts, which constitutes the norm of ordinary people's lives."

"The second stage is the stage of awakening and exploration. In this stage, individuals begin to think about the meaning of life, pay attention to the motivations behind their behavior, and explore their true inner desires."

"This is the most painful stage, where individuals need to engage in fierce struggles between ideals and reality, their true nature and humanity, and their pursuits and worldly desires."

"To successfully cross this stage, you need to make tremendous efforts, learn to talk to yourself, maintain independent thinking about everything, and have your own insights into everything from your worldview and philosophy of life to your values."

"At the same time, individuals need to improve their cognitive level, enrich their thoughts and inner qualities, recognize themselves, reality and the world, understand the rules of the world, and find their true selves in the process."

"At this stage, individuals need to focus on their strengths, interests and desires, recognize their weaknesses and shortcomings, and manage the relationship between survival and ideals while solving problems."

"The third stage is the stage of enlightenment and sublimation. After experiencing countless challenges and trials, the individual finally finds his or her own path."

"At this stage, individuals gain a profound understanding and pursuit of the world and life, comprehend the meaning of life, find what they seek in this life, and in the struggle between reality and ideals, they gradually recognize themselves, reconcile with themselves, and find a cause they are willing to fight for their whole lives."

"At this stage, an individual's personality is elevated, their ability to integrate knowledge and action is enhanced, they are able to properly handle the relationship between ideals and reality, find meaning in life in their beloved career, and solve the problem of survival at the same time."

"The changes in the second and third stages are the most dangerous period, because what you see and feel are different, so the answers you get are also different. If you encounter some major stimuli, it is very easy to go to extremes."

"Either become a fanatical savior, or become a madman who destroys everything."

"I used to be the latter, while he..."

"I suppose he was the one who became tainted by madness."
