Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 17 Tang San Prepares for a Rainy Day

The moment the yellow potato starch was poured on the wound, the Lingyun Turtle trembled, and Zhou Qing and Tang San were so scared that they immediately left the turtle's back and hid in the bushes.

However, the Lingyun Turtle did not wake up after all.

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Tang San forward again, applying yellow potato powder to the inside of the cracks in the Lingyun Turtle's shell, and then smoothing it out evenly.

"All right."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhou Qing took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said to Tang San: "Let's go back. This Lingyun Turtle may take some time to wake up."

"Ah."

Tang San was also tired. After all, he still needed to pay attention to Lingyun Turtle's breathing to prevent it from waking up suddenly...
However, before leaving, Zhou Qing and Tang San caught two 20-centimeter-long big white carp in the stream - Zhou Qing used medicinal powder to attract the big white carp, while Tang San used bamboo leaf darts to hit the big white carp's head.

The bamboo leaf dart was originally Tang San's trump card to prevent the Lingyun Turtle from waking up suddenly, but now it has become a fishing tool.

[If the Tang Sect disciples from my previous life knew about this, I would be laughed at for the rest of my life! ]

Tang San thought to himself, but when he ate the grilled fish, he was not vague, and even licked his fingers after eating.

"Perhaps, the bamboo leaf dart can be more powerful."

Zhou Qing talked about the bamboo leaf darts.

"What's more powerful?"

Tang San didn't believe that a child could improve the bamboo leaf dart. Even though Zhou Qing was indeed very smart, there were no such things as hidden weapons in this world. Without any reference, what could he come up with?
"Let's go to my house."

Zhou Qing took Tang San to the second floor of his house and found a book about soul guides. "This is a book introducing soul guides on Douluo Continent."

Tang San took it, flipped through it, and found many pictures of things he had never seen before.

of course.

This book about soul guides does not introduce how to make soul guides, but only gives a general description of the types, styles, functions, etc. of some daily soul guides.

It's like a buying manual.

However, in Zhou Qing's opinion, this book not only helps people understand the classification and corresponding functions of life-related soul guides, but also has other practical uses.

Some simple soul guide inscriptions can still be found from it.

In this manual introducing daily life soul guides, the most common type of soul guide is the one similar to a fan.

I don’t know if it’s because the soul masters in this world have no concept of “intellectual property”, or because of the powerful strength of the soul masters, or because the soul inscriptions on daily soul guides are not important, so the blades of the soul guide fans in this booklet all have similar soul inscription routes.

Why do we say they are similar?
Because after Zhou Qing's comparison, the pictures of the soul guide inscriptions similar to the fan structure in this book are almost the same. The differences are most likely due to minor issues such as typesetting and proportion during printing.

"Are these pictures of soul guides?"

Tang San looked at those life-related soul guides and saw the relevant introduction, then he knew their functions. Just like the fan with blades similar to those of hidden weapons, by injecting soul power, it can rotate and fan.

Tang San, who had already equated soul power with internal strength, suddenly felt that this world was even more magical than he had imagined, and he could actually use his internal strength in his life.

pity--

There are no soul guides in the Holy Soul Village.

Seeing that Tang San couldn't see anything, Zhou Qing took the book and turned the pages about the soul guide fan to Tang San one by one, pointing to the soul guide inscriptions on the blades of different soul guide fans and asked: "Did you find anything?"

“Almost the same texture.”

Tang San suddenly realized that if this soul guide fan can rotate because of this pattern, then if he engraved it on the hidden weapon and then injected internal force into it, would it be possible to make it rotate faster at the moment it flew out?

In this way, the power of the hidden weapon will definitely be stronger!

[If my idea is feasible, I need to modify the Tang Sect's hidden weapons... In this world, the soul guides for daily life have such functions. I'm afraid that the weapons of the soul master world are definitely very powerful soul guides. The top-ranked Tang Sect hidden weapons are definitely not weak, but——]

Tang San can't mass produce it! The lines on the soul guide made Tang San feel a sense of urgency. He felt that the soul master cultivation in this world might not be as good as the "Xuan Tian Bao Lu", but in other aspects, especially weapons, they were definitely countless times more powerful than the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, and could even be mass-produced!

[I must improve my hidden weapons and make the Tang Sect's hidden weapons stronger, otherwise——]

Thinking of the life soul guide he had just seen in the book, which could use soul power to release flames without firewood and serve as a coal stove, Tang San had already imagined a picture in his mind:
He was holding a sleeve arrow, while the opponent was holding a soul guide that could spew out high-temperature flames. When the high-temperature flames spewed out, his sleeve arrow was melted in an instant, and he was also burned to death by the high temperature.

Although the essence of hidden weapons is to attack the enemy unexpectedly and when they are unprepared, and to be used for assassination, Tang San has a hint of pride in his heart, and does not want the Tang Sect's hidden weapons to be inferior to those of others in frontal combat.

and so.

[The Tang Sect's hidden weapons must also be changed! ]

[Recreate the glory of Tang Sect...]

this moment.

Looking at the soul guide inscription on the picture of the life soul guide...

Imagine the powerful soul guide weapons that soul masters in the soul master world may have...

And recalling the memories of past lives deep in my heart:
When he was in the Tang Sect, because he was an outer sect disciple, he could not learn the more complicated methods of making hidden weapons. The hidden weapons he made were crushed by the inner sect disciples, who mocked, ridiculed, and even beat him up.

This was also the main reason why he finally made up his mind to steal the sect's skills in his previous life.

To prove myself!

As long as he has the chance, his achievements will definitely not be worse than those of the inner disciples!
This is indeed the case: in his previous life, before jumping off the cliff, he created the Tang Sect's lost Buddha's Wrath Lotus...

But Tang San had greater ambitions at this moment.

[I want to surpass the Tang Sect! ]

"You seem excited?"

Zhou Qing noticed the change in Tang San's eyes, which seemed to become more determined, and was a little confused.

"It's nothing. I just thought of my unreliable father at home." Tang San pushed everything onto Tang Hao. "Qing Ge'er, so, what are you showing me?"

"You see, since the fan can rotate because of these soul guide patterns, then it should be possible to engrave them on the bamboo leaf darts that are similar in shape."

Zhou Qing didn't bother about what Tang San was thinking. He just tried his best to offer suggestions and guide Tang San to develop in the direction of soul guides.

The Great God King Tang went from hating soul guides to becoming the future soul guide master...

This must be very interesting!
But Tang San took out the bamboo leaf dart, compared it with the soul guide fan, and said speechlessly: "How is it similar?"

Even though he already knew the function of the soul guide inscription, Tang San was still influenced by the nature of his age and behaved like a child.

"Besides the fact that they both can rotate, the blades are of different sizes. The blades of the soul guide fan are large, while my bamboo leaf darts, as the name suggests, are as narrow as bamboo leaves."

"Don't worry about these details. Anyway, you are a blacksmith. You can follow these inscriptions and try more. Maybe you will succeed." Zhou Qing opened his eyes wide and trusted Tang San. "Although soul guides need soul power to use, we haven't awakened our martial souls yet, but it's not impossible to prepare in advance. Maybe your darts will have patterns on them and can rotate faster in the air."

"Like a paper airplane—"

As he spoke, Zhou Qing took out a piece of white paper, folded a paper airplane, and threw it out of the window. It flew slowly for more than 20 meters before landing on the ground.

Then, he took out another piece of paper and threw it out. It wobbled and landed in his own yard.

"Look, two identical pieces of paper, the same weight and size. But because I folded one of them into a paper airplane, it can fly farther. I think it's because the air supports the two wings, achieving a certain balance, so it can fly farther. Maybe your bamboo leaf darts can also be lifted by the air through the engraved patterns."

Seeing this, Tang San seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked: "Why is it called Paper Flying Chicken?"

Realizing that Tang San might have mistaken "机" for "鸡", Zhou Qing followed his idea and said, "It's made of paper and can fly. The most common bird I see in Holy Spirit Village is chicken, so it's called Paper Flying Chicken. If you don't like it, you can also call it Paper Airplane, the "机" in "机"."

Tang San's head is full of black lines...
