Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 258 The Master's Strategy

Tiandou Empire.

Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang Hao returned to this place once again.

In the same location, but in a different situation, soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire were cleaning up the corpses on the street.

Besides the dead Soul Masters, there were many wounded people lying on the ground screaming in agony. It was a truly horrific scene, but the three people present remained steadfast and unmoved.

"how is this possible?"

Yu Xiaogang was slightly puzzled: "Xue Qinghe offered a reward for a national treasure. Logically speaking, all the healing soul masters in the Douluo Continent should be here."

"Why is no one treating so many wounded?"

Tang San casually scoffed, "Because they're not Soul Masters!"

"Healing Soul Masters only serve Soul Masters and nobles, or they are willing to help commoners if they are offered a high reward."

"Under normal circumstances, who would waste their soul power to save civilians?"

Not all healing soul masters are called Nine Heart Begonia. Some low-level soul masters with not-so-high-level healing martial souls take a very long time to heal.

Wasting two days and expending all your soul power to heal a commoner without any reward—you wouldn't be happy either.

His tone was utterly contemptuous: "So many civilians, how can you possibly rescue them all? Ridiculous!"

Whether in his past life or this one, Tang San came from a clan and, having lived a life of luxury, never sided with the common people.

Then, I thought of that ridiculous woman again.

"Perhaps her meridians have already been healed."

Tang San seemed to be anticipating something, and quickened his pace slightly, arriving once again at the clinic of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Is nobody here?" Tang Hao asked, slightly curious.

Not long ago, this place was packed with people, and he only managed to get a spot by dragging Flander out of the way.

Boom!
Tang Hao kicked open the door and barged inside.

He glanced around with disdain and spotted an old man in the corner of the room.

"Where is Ye Junlan?" Tang Hao asked.

“She’s dead!” The old man shook his head and sighed. “Just like any other corpse on the roadside, she was retrieved and destroyed by the guards.”

Tang San looked extremely embarrassed: "Damn it, how could she die?"

"What a complete waste!"

With Ye Junlan dead, there was no one left to heal his meridians, and a surge of discontent rose within him:

"And you, why are you here?"

The old man parted his lips slightly, but no sound came out for a long time.

"Hmph!" Tang Hao's voice was icy cold, and his soul power surged forth.

Trembling was the old man's only posture; boundless fear etched deep wrinkles into his face: "I am the therapist who oversees the clinic."

Finally, he uttered this sentence.

But he was met with ridicule from the master: "Since when has a Soul Master been qualified to be a healer?"

But the old man ignored its mockery. Under the pressure of Haotian Douluo's soul power, even breathing became difficult.

Tang Hao glanced at the master with suspicion.

He didn't really understand how Yu Xiaogang could have the nerve to say such a thing.

"That's it!"

Tang Hao shook his head: "A therapist can't be useless!"

Just like last time, they used violent methods to destroy the old man's meridians, to see if he could heal himself.

Seeing his miserable state, Tang San suddenly had an idea: "I have a suggestion!"

Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang looked over, very curious.

The strong can be tolerant, but the weak have no choice. At this moment, Tang San was filled with ruthlessness.

"We can find a key figure and destroy his meridians!"

"And the forces behind him will undoubtedly do everything in their power to find a way to heal his meridians, which I will certainly use." Yu Xiaogang smiled and stroked his beard: "That's right!"

As expected of my apprentice, he came up with such an ingenious strategy, truly inheriting my wisdom.

They exchanged a glance with Tang San, and in perfect unison, uttered the name:
"Xue Qinghe!"

Tang San had already incurred the wrath of the Heaven Dou Empire by killing Prince Xue Beng.

As the only crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe would inevitably receive the full support of the Heaven Dou Empire if he were injured.

Plus.
Currently, all healing soul masters across the continent are gathered in the Heaven Dou Empire, creating a uniquely opportune moment.

Tang San didn't believe it; he thought they still couldn't find a way to treat the meridians.

"Hmph!" Tang San's voice was icy cold.

"Good, truly domineering!" Tang Hao laughed with satisfaction.

Haotian Douluo was never worried about how cruel and domineering his son was, but he was afraid that his son would be a coward who wouldn't even dare to fight back when faced with a crisis.

But just as he was about to leave, Yu Xiaogang interrupted him:
"Wait, don't rush!"

"Implementing this plan requires detailed arrangements and planning!"

Yu Xiaogang said smugly, "The failure of the last time will pave the way for the success of the next!"

Tang San nodded in complete agreement. As expected of a master, he was able to continuously summarize and optimize his strategies.

"The last time Flanders was discovered, it was mainly because the merchants stored photographic stones."

"It's quite normal for these merchants to equip themselves with recording stones to prevent theft, and the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace must also have them."

Tang Hao was also taken aback when he heard this.

He used his muscular brain to think about what consequences the Haotian Sect would face if his identity were discovered.
The enemy of the Heavenly Dou Empire?
"No, it's a conflict between two great empires. Openly assassinating the Crown Prince of an empire is something the Star Luo Empire cannot accept."

Yu Xiaogang declared confidently, "Therefore."

"We must choose a suitable time to take action against Xue Qinghe."

Tang San asked curiously, "When?"

Yu Xiaogang was full of vigor and self-satisfaction, his head held high, as if he had the entire world at his fingertips:

"Isn't this the perfect opportunity for you, with the Great Emperor Xueye so badly injured?"

With his wisdom in his grasp, the master eloquently explained his strategy: "Tang San, this time you will enter the palace as a doctor."

"I will spend a lot of money to bribe the guards of the Heaven Dou Empire and obtain the layout map of the palace."

He glanced at Tang Hao slightly and said, "Of course, this part of the money will be paid by the Haotian Sect."

His face stiffened: "But..."

Haotian Douluo hesitated, not because of the small amount of money, but because of the question of whether Tang San could enter.

"Tang San might not be able to get in," Tang Hao said hesitantly.

Although the Heavenly Dou Empire issued a bounty, doctors, pharmacists, alchemists, and a whole host of other oddballs were all welcome to go to the Heavenly Dou Empire to rescue Emperor Xueye.

But we can't just let any Tom, Dick, or Harry in, can we?
A martial soul should at least be a healing type, or at least have some knowledge of pharmacology, but after so many years of study, one should surely have some reputation.
Because of the Avalanche Prince incident, Tang San and the Heaven Dou Empire were natural enemies, making it extremely difficult for Tang San to enter the palace.

Yu Xiaogang gave a soft "hmm": "Unless someone recommends him!"

"Tang Yuehua!" Tang Hao's eyes suddenly brightened.

The master of Yuexuan was sought after by many nobles of the Tiandou Empire, so he was certainly qualified to recommend her.

Moreover, they have plenty of money there and can certainly meet the master's needs.

"Don't worry, leave the spot to me!"

So he patted his chest and made a promise.

The master smiled with satisfaction: "Looks like I can make another quick buck."

Bribing a guard does require a large sum of money, but the amount of money required to bribe a guard is different from the amount required to bribe oneself.

Then, he turned to Tang San and said, "You just need to destroy the recording stones inside according to the layout diagram."

"Once the recording stone is destroyed, Tang Hao can act without restraint and completely destroy Xue Qinghe's meridians!"
