Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, Martial Soul Enhancement Panel

Chapter 20 Xiao Wu's Identity

"After a soul beast reaches 100,000 years, it will have a chance to transform into human form, and only those stronger than Soul Douluo can see through it."

"I was wondering when Xiao Wu acquired her first spirit ring. Now I see, now I see. If she's a transformed spirit beast, then everything makes sense. Damn it, I only just realized it now!"

Tang San was somewhat annoyed. It was obvious that God King Tang San and Tang Hao had both seen through Xiao Wu's identity; otherwise, their attitude towards her wouldn't have been so special.

"But why? If Xiao Wu is truly a transformed soul beast, why didn't Tang Hao just kill her and obtain her soul bone?"

Although Tang San did not know that Tang Hao was the Haotian Douluo, now that he knew the origin of his martial soul, he understood that Tang Hao's strength was definitely not as simple as he had imagined.

Unlike Tang San's frustration.

Qin Xu instantly realized that Tang Hao must have instructed Tang San to approach Xiao Wu.

The moment the idea crossed Qin Xu's mind, he felt a chill run down his spine, because the act was far too outrageous.

This even led him to think of the great battle between Haotian Douluo and the Spirit Hall back then.

Back then, was it really not the case that Tang Hao and his brother, who were at level 89, brought their transformed spirit beasts to Wuhun City to enjoy the scenery, and that the Pope of the Wuhun Hall, Qian Xunji, happened to receive news of the transformed spirit beasts and went to hunt them down?

But in order to save his wife, Tang Hao burned his martial soul and unleashed his potential, broke through the encirclement, and fought for three days and three nights without retreating. In the end, he became a Soul Douluo and defeated a Title Douluo in a touching story.

Well, there are just too many suspicious points in this rumor.

Qin Xu himself actually had another guess.

In his view, Tang Hao did not come without help back then. Tang Wei, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, may have also participated in the plan. The purpose was to force the transformed soul beast to sacrifice itself while controlling the situation to prevent any accidents.

But an accident still happened. Because he used too much force, he actually killed Qian Xunji. This led to his later atonement with his death and the closure of the Haotian Sect.

Of course, this is just his personal speculation. After all, it is a long time ago and there are few clues. His speculation can only be used for fun.

Thinking of this, Qin Xu secretly glanced at Tang San. Regardless of the reason, Tang San's childhood experiences were quite niche.

Whose baby is born with a survival-of-the-fittest spirit...?

"What exactly happened back then... I never thought that one day I would lose because I hadn't read the novel."

He felt that anyone who had read the novel would be doing better than he was now.

"Teacher, what do you think their purpose is?" Tang San voiced his doubts.

Qin Xu thought about it and realized that he couldn't get involved in this matter, but Tang San might be able to, since he was Tang Hao's son.

But then I thought about it again. Even tigers don't eat their cubs, but that's Tang Hao.

Finally, Qin Xu said after careful consideration, "Some things you have to discover with your own eyes. I can only tell you what I am certain of: your mother was probably not human."

As Qin Xu finished speaking, Tang San's pupils shrank, and he asked, "My mother was also a transformed soul beast?"

"Yes, and it may be the only Blue Silver Emperor on the continent."

Tang San's mind felt like it was about to explode, and countless chaotic thoughts arose in an instant.

My mother is the Blue Silver Emperor, a transformed soul beast.

"My mother is actually a humanoid soul beast. Could it be that someone is after her soul bone?"

Tang San quickly accepted the fact that his mother was a transformed soul beast. Because he often saw Xiao Wu, he didn't think there was much difference between transformed soul beasts and humans.

Of course, the most important reason is that, in Tang San's view, one's body and hair are given to one's parents, so how can children dislike their parents?

At this moment, Qin Xu carefully examined Tang San's complexion and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he immediately released his martial soul to sense it.

"Xiao San, have you felt unwell these past few days?" Qin Xu suddenly asked.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Tang San looked over and noticed his teacher's gloomy expression. He quickly replied, "A little. How did you know, teacher? I often feel tired when I wake up in the morning, and sometimes I feel cold all over. But other than that, nothing else bothers me."

"Did this phenomenon only begin after you and your brother had your battle?" Qin Xu asked seriously.

"No, no, my condition is definitely not caused by him using poison. I noticed this before, especially after every time I exercise," Tang San said immediately.

Qin Xu touched Tang San's arm bone, suddenly frowned, and then fell into deep thought.

"Alright. In any case, try to avoid being alone with your brother in the future. Talk to Xiaotao and ask her to arrange accommodation for you."

Qin Ruins Road.

Tang San hesitated, wondering if his condition was related to Tang San, but he didn't know the specifics. He also felt that these symptoms didn't have much of an impact on him.

"Yes."

Tang San nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Teacher, has your business been having some trouble lately...?"

Qin Xu glanced at Tang San, somewhat puzzled.

Business, what kind of business?

Business is going very well; orders are piling up all the way to the next city.

Because he has no competitors, he doesn't need to spend money to seize the market.

"I heard from Uncle Hei that you've invested a lot of money in pig farming and meat processing plants... and that you were previously buying blood ginseng at high prices, but now you've suddenly stopped buying it," Tang San said cautiously.

"You mean this? Don't worry about it." Qin Xu waved his hand casually.

What Tang San said was indeed the truth.

He doesn't have much money available right now.

I only have a little over 10,000 yuan left, and I still need to pay interest and salaries for the next three months.

But this is only short-term; he will be able to turn things around in just three months.

At that time, his assets will multiply several times, and the meat processing plant will become his money-printing machine.

Moreover, he sought to purchase blood ginseng in order to refine his qi and blood and prepare for martial arts.

However, due to his unfortunate circumstances, the plan to create the "Path of Martial Arts" will obviously have to be postponed.

The most urgent task is to use the three points of good fortune to enhance the devouring ability of the Sun-Chasing Blue Silver King.

Two months have passed.

As Qin Xu strengthens his first spirit ring with his spirit power every day, the age of his first spirit ring is now close to two thousand years.

Furthermore, because the original technique is more compatible with the martial soul, even a basic attack can be enhanced if the branches are imbued with the true fire of the sun, tempered day and night.

Its power is even stronger than his third spirit ring, "Life-Sucking Mustard".

So.

Qin Xu's third soul skill has become completely useless.

Developing a proper Soul Devouring Skill is now of paramount importance.

"Don't worry, although the expenses are considerable, I've calculated that I have enough funds to keep things running. In the end, I'm not investing my own money, but other people's money. Don't worry."

Tang San didn't understand, but he still insisted, "Teacher, do you remember the Zhuge Crossbow I gave you before?"

"What's wrong? That crossbow is indeed quite good; I like it very much. However, I can't help you promote and sell it. It should belong to the Haotian Sect's heritage, and selling it casually would cause trouble..." A smile appeared on Qin Xu's face.

He didn't ask about the specific details, but the crossbow that Tang San gave him was indeed very cool.

With its streamlined crossbow body and powerful firepower, it can accurately shoot birds with every shot!

"I borrowed money from Sister Xiaotao to build several sets, and then sold quite a few through Uncle Hei, making a profit. Teacher, do you need funds? I can probably come up with about five thousand gold soul coins?"

While recounting the origins of his wealth, Tang San respectfully took out a black box containing a lot of dark brown gelatinous substances.

"Dragon blood tree bark?"

Qin Xu's eyes lit up: "You actually managed to get your hands on such a good thing?"

"It's all thanks to Uncle Hei's friends; Uncle Hei even paid for a blacksmith shop for me," Tang San said truthfully. He knew his teacher was knowledgeable in medicine, but he still proudly presented it.

"The bark of the dragon's blood tree is used to make medicinal wine, which is very potent. Its effects are similar to those of a blood ginseng as thick as a baby's forearm."

Qin Xu examined it and was pleasantly surprised: "Good stuff, it really is good stuff."

He patted Tang San on the shoulder and said, "Little San, you're so thoughtful. This New Year's Day, Teacher will cook for us, the two of us, so we can have a meal together."

"Teacher, let me cook," Tang San said hastily. He was very satisfied to be able to have the New Year's Eve dinner with his teacher. It would be even better if Uncle Hei and Sister Xiao Tao could join them.

"You little brat, how old are you? What else can you do besides cook porridge?" Qin Xu said. "Just wait quietly to eat, and remember to call Uncle Hei and the others."

"Yes." Tang San nodded immediately.

Qin Xu smiled. Tang San was honest and reliable. After only two months of getting to know him, he had gradually come to accept Tang San.

Nottingham College.

God King Tang San is seriously learning the theory of invincibility from Yu Xiaogang.

Looking at the God King Tang San who was listening attentively, Yu Xiaogang was very satisfied. The thought that he had personally taught such a talented God King Tang San filled Yu Xiaogang with immense pride.

In just two months, his disciple Tang San reached level 14 as a Soul Master!

Moreover, he defeated the guy who challenged his authority in just a few moves.

"Soul beasts with both poison and control attributes are the most suitable for Blue Silver Grass. It would be great if there were a Human-Faced Demon Spider."

"By the way, Little San, have you received the benefits from the Spirit Hall?"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly remembered something. This was a gold soul coin every month, and he couldn't afford to waste it.

Upon hearing the name of the Spirit Hall, God King Tang San instinctively felt some resistance and was about to refuse.

Immediately after Yu Xiaogang's persuasion, a look of realization flashed in Shenwang Tang San's eyes.

So, the Spirit Hall is actually this evil!

No wonder I hate it so much.

They forced the royal family to pay, thus gaining a good reputation for themselves.

It's no wonder that such behavior is called a cancer in the world of Soul Masters by the teachers.

"Teacher, I understand. The Spirit Hall is so ambitious and has such grand schemes. I will not be fooled by them!" Tang San said with emotion.

"The Spirit Hall's subsidies to those Spirit Masters are all sugar-coated bullets. My approach is to eat the sugar coating and spit out the bullets," Yu Xiaogang said smugly.

"The teacher is brilliant..."

"..."

"Hmm, how much do you know about the Qin Ruins?"

After some casual conversation, Yu Xiaogang brought up the Qin Ruins.

A flash of resentment crossed his eyes; he hadn't forgotten how Qin Xu had humiliated him.

However, after Tang San lost to his disciple this time, he didn't even see the other party... Moreover, Tang San's first soul skill left a deep impression on him. Although his disciple won, it was not an easy victory.

"I don't know much about him," God King Tang San said honestly. "But I feel that he should have already become a Soul Venerable. Recently, he seems to be buying a lot of herbs to replenish his qi and blood."

He was preparing to buy whale glue, but found that even a century-old whale glue was too expensive for him, with prices starting at two thousand gold soul coins, which was simply beyond his reach.

Furthermore, it was on his way to buy whale glue that he heard about Qin Xu's search for qi and blood herbs.

"Soul Master. He actually broke through to Soul Master? Just to replenish his Qi and blood... Hah, he's so young, and he's already buying those aphrodisiacs."

Yu Xiaogang was shocked at first, then a shadow crossed his fair face. Even a useless spirit like Blue Silver Grass could break through to the Soul Master level, while he could only remain at the Great Soul Master level forever.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang felt even more disgusted with Qin Ruins.

However, he also had to admit that the soul skill attached to Tang San's first soul ring was indeed extremely suitable for Blue Silver Grass.

"What kind of soul beast is it?" Yu Xiaogang pondered.

"Well, his choice does have its merits. Let's find an opportunity to ask him about it."

After pondering for a moment, Yu Xiaogang felt that Tang San's choice of his first spirit ring was worthy of being incorporated into his own theory of spirit martial arts.

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

After Bibi Dong finished handling half of the government affairs, she looked at the simple and elegant angel statue in the center of the Papal Palace and felt a strong sense of disgust.

The magnificent Papal Palace was large but deserted. Bibi Dong pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by a sense of irritability. She turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.

Because she was a little tired, she didn't meditate and wanted to get a good night's sleep.

However, after only a short nap, gazing at the cold, silent night, a wave of negative emotions, seemingly from nowhere, suddenly washed over her. She felt inexplicably sad, anxious, frustrated, and fearful.

A strong sense of unease made Bibi Dong frown. She dreamt of Qian Renxue dressed in a sacred angel's suit, haughtily and coldly questioning her why she killed her father…

"You're a slut too!" Bibi Dong glared fiercely at Qian Renxue.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

I had sent someone to record the growth of Tang San and his brother, and I should receive a reply soon.

And then there's Qin Xu, this junior who looks down on Xiao Gang. I wonder if his opinion of Xiao Gang has changed.
