Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 46 Tang San's First Memorable Scene

Acquiring more data is one aspect, but personal insights are another.

After all, no Soul Master would possess the physical strength of a Soul Master at level 20, or the mental strength of an ordinary Soul Douluo or even a Title Douluo.

There's another problem he's thinking about now.

If the lifespan of each stage depends on the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit...

Is his current physical strength the upper limit of the second ring's lifespan?

Needless to say, his mental strength is at least at the level of a Soul Saint, even by future algorithms.

However, the physical strength of a Soul Master at the Soul Sect level is definitely not the limit.

It's true that soul power level limits the lifespan of soul rings, but if we continue to improve physical strength, or tackle the bottleneck of soul power level that no one has considered for countless years, can the actual optimal lifespan be increased further?

You Chen was very curious!

Therefore, he did not intend to let Xiao Youchen absorb the second ring before reaching this final answer.

Forging his physical body while simultaneously researching the limits of Xiao Youchen's second and third rings was the task Youchen had set for himself.

However, the reason he accepted Xiao Wu's invitation now is probably because he wanted to relax after studying for so long.

"The teacher said that spiritual practice requires a balance between work and rest."

You Chen said to Xiao Wu in a low voice, "I've been cultivating for so long, it's time for me to go out and get some fresh air."

What he was really thinking was, "That old bastard Tang San has finally arrived."

You Chen knew the exact time of Tang San's report, only remembering that he was among the later batch to report, arriving around the time the school officially started.

Therefore, in these last few days, You Chen would specifically instruct his men to place their men near the city gates, so that they would notify him as soon as they spotted someone who matched his description.

If Yu Xiaogang is specifically speaking up for someone, he should be notified immediately.

Hmm? Subordinates? When did You Chen assign subordinates?

The answer is from the very beginning.

When planning to transfer to Notting City and gradually distance himself from the Spirit Hall, You Chen consciously arranged for people to be stationed there.

In this small city of Nottingham, there are five "Beast Masters" who specialize in intelligence and follow-up work within the Soul Beast organization.

"Beast Masters" are different from the "Beast Soldiers," the backbone of the Soul Fighting Beasts. Because their talents or martial soul characteristics are not good at combat, they are specifically responsible for intelligence and logistics.

When there is a situation where a direct summons is necessary, to avoid unnecessary trouble, the messenger will be referred to as the "messenger".

There is no clear division of ranks among the Beast Tamers. If one had to name one, Grace, the head maid of Youchen, would be the true leader of the Beast Tamers.

You Chen could not maintain that perfect Self-Transformation Starlight Avatar for long enough to fool most people.

However, self-created soul skills are actually self-created soul skills derived from soul ring skills. Their advantage is that the output can be changed according to the soul master's own needs.

If You Chen could maintain a minimum level of energy expenditure, he could easily sustain himself for several hours. This would be more than enough to serve as a messenger for receiving intelligence.

At that moment, You Chen received the message that Yu Xiaogang had specially appeared for an old man and a young girl who came from the countryside and forcibly demanded that the gatekeeper apologize to them, which is why he chose to go out.

However, he did not deliberately walk fast, but instead calculated the time and walked step by step toward the predetermined location.

"Hey, Yusei, didn't you say you'd come out with me? Where are you going?"

"Go sightseeing? If we're going to go out sightseeing, shouldn't we leave the academy and go into the city of Nottingham? I don't remember taking the wrong road."

You Chen casually dealt with the lively Xiao Wu and headed towards the main gate of the academy.

It seemed as if some invisible force was influencing everything, or perhaps it was just a coincidence, but the road they had walked on suddenly became quiet.

There was no one in sight, not a single other person.

This made Xiao Wu, who loves excitement, shiver without even realizing it.

You Chen's gaze was deep, and he seemed to be deep in thought. Finally, he walked to the first cobblestone path after entering the main gate of the academy.

Just then, a dark-skinned young man in plain clothes was seen kneeling on both knees in front of a disheveled middle-aged man.

Despite it being a busy main road, there was no one else in sight except for the four people present.

I didn't think much of it while reading the novel, but when I actually arrived at the scene, I could sense that something was off.

Keep in mind that just a minute or two before their arrival, Yu Xiaogang had essentially revealed Tang San's secret about his twin martial souls in broad daylight, in a place bustling with people...

He didn't even bother to find a slightly secluded place; he just said it on the way to the registrar's office!

If a teacher happens to be passing by, they will definitely hear it clearly!

As for the students... most of them are at most Soul Masters, and Yu Xiaogang didn't deliberately turn up the volume, so unless you get close, you can't hear them very clearly.

This is also why You Chen isn't worried about being accused of hearing things he shouldn't have.

Xiao Wu, unaware of the truth, nearly gasped when she saw the boy kneeling. Realizing what had happened, she quickly covered her mouth, her eyes wide with horror as she looked at You Chen and muttered, "You Xing, are we stumbling upon some kind of orphan demanding repayment?"

In that instant, Xiao Wu conjured up a ten-thousand-word story in her mind.

The main point is that there is no tradition in this world of kneeling and bowing when becoming an apprentice.

In Xiao Wu's eyes, either the middle-aged man had coerced the boy in plain clothes, or the two were related as a gambling addict and a pitiful child, and the boy had come to collect a debt.

Well, Yu Xiaogang's slovenly appearance, combined with this situation, makes it hard not to have impure thoughts.

That's right, at this very moment, Tang San was shocked by Yu Xiaogang's flawed knowledge and immediately offered his knees to become her disciple, creating a famous scene!

"Hey!"

However, what should have been a "sacred and noble scene of the future god-king taking a master" was suddenly interrupted by a discordant voice.

However, Xiao Wu, who hates evil and has a lively personality, can't stand Yu Xiaogang, who is "obviously" "bullying" Tang San. She throws a flying kick at Yu Xiaogang's head.

At this moment, neither Tang San nor Yu Xiaogang could see anything else. Caught off guard, neither of them had time to react, and Yu Xiaogang was hit head-on. She screamed and flew backwards for a distance before falling to the ground.

"teacher!!!"

Tang San looked at his teacher, who was screaming in pain, and his eyes widened in fury. He glared fiercely at the somewhat bewildered girl.

You Chen, equally bewildered, silently wiped away a bead of sweat.

Even You Chen didn't expect this stupid rabbit to suddenly fall ill. After hesitating for a second, he still chose not to reveal his strength and intervene.

Fortunately, judging from the situation, Tang San should have successfully completed the apprenticeship process.

Yes... he didn't come to stop Tang San from becoming a disciple.

Even so, Yu Xiaogang's knowledge, backed by her family and the Spirit Hall, was indeed very useful to Tang San.

However, compared to other options, it was more harmful than beneficial to Tang San!

If something unexpected happens and Yu Xiaogang fails to accept Tang San as her disciple, You Chen even plans to secretly help her! However, as things stand, the timeline hasn't changed, saving You Chen from having to expend too much effort.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is essentially a Blue Silver Grass that hides the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor.

If developed normally, without following any foolish, poisonous, or control-oriented paths, and after absorbing the three rings, it shows only slight signs of bloodline, it won't be inferior to a high-quality Blue Silver King Martial Soul.

Leaving aside the later famous line, "In the Endless Fire Domain, there is Yao Lao, but not Yu Xiaogang from the God Realm," Tang San's attitude changed from initially obeying Yu Xiaogang's every word and respecting him more than a father, to later insisting on his own opinions on several matters where he disagreed with Yu Xiaogang.

He wasn't unaware that Yu Xiaogang had made many errors in his views and theories, but rather that he was deeply influenced by feudal ethics and believed that once one became a disciple, one had to remain faithful to that disciple and respect the master as if he were a father.
