Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 21 Analysis of Tang San's Deception

After activating his soul skill, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass split into more than ten leaves, which wrapped around the waists of all the children in the Seventh Dormitory, including Xiao Wu.

Instantly, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the others felt a power flowing from the Blue Silver Grass into their bodies, making them feel very comfortable. Their abrasions and bruises disappeared.

"What amazing soul skill! It actually healed all our injuries." Wang Sheng rolled up his sleeves, looked at his undamaged arm, and couldn't help but admire Tang San.

It's not just because Tang San has become a Soul Master, but more so because Tang San has healing Soul Skills, so if you get injured in the future, you can ask him for help.

"It's barely usable." Tang San also had some dissatisfaction with this soul skill, namely that he couldn't use the power of the earth he absorbed to refine it into soul power.

If it could be used for cultivation, Tang San was confident that he could become a Title Douluo after graduating from Notting Academy.

Unfortunately, this cheat can't be activated.

"How long will it take you to become familiar with soul skills?" Xiao Wu asked. "I don't think you've ever called me Sister Xiao Wu before. If I win, you'll have to call me Sister Xiao Wu."

"What if I win?" Tang San revealed a meaningful smile, which made Xiao Wu's scalp tingle, but she didn't seem to feel particularly disgusted.

The other person had a very pleasant scent that reminded her of her favorite food.

"You win. You'll be the leader of Dormitory 7 and Notting Academy." Although Tang San changed after obtaining his first spirit ring and developed an aura that she liked, Xiao Wu wasn't stupid and wouldn't gamble with herself.

"I have no interest in either the Seventh Dormitory Leader or Notting Leader." Tang San shook his head, then looked at Xiao Wu with a serious expression. "I need a promise from you."

"Agreement? What agreement?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"Judging from your situation, you are definitely different from us real work-study students."

In front of everyone in the Seventh Dormitory, Tang San speculated about Xiao Wu's situation in a way that Wang Sheng and the others could understand: "Although I'm not very familiar with you, judging from your personality, your smooth skin, your initial lack of understanding of currency, and your first spirit ring being a hundred years old, you're obviously a little princess from a big family who came here to experience life."

Xiao Wu chuckled and said, "You guessed wrong. I'm not a rich girl. Besides, if a hundred-year-old soul ring can prove it, aren't you the same?"

"It's different." Tang San held a negative opinion. "My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, but it has mutated. When I first came to Seven Dormitories, my skin was dark, just like Wang Sheng and the others, and my body was very thin. You know that. My current changes are only because I absorbed the first spirit ring, which caused my martial soul to mutate."

Wang Sheng and the others nodded in agreement. They had seen Tang San come to the Seventh Dormitory, and his condition was just as he had described: thin, dark-skinned, with short, not very smooth hair.

But now, things have changed.

"Moreover, my family lives in Holy Soul Village. When you have time during your holidays, you can go and visit. My grandfather is the village chief of Holy Soul Village," Tang San continued. "I can't hide this from you. The reason I have achieved what I have today is because before my martial soul awakened, I befriended Master Su Yuntao of the Spirit Hall, went to the Spirit Hall to read various books and study theories, and thus made myself stronger."

Wang Sheng began to admire Tang San.

Compared to wealthy girls like Xiao Wu who come here to experience life, Tang San's identity makes it much easier for him to gain the approval and admiration of Wang Sheng and others.

Seeing that her little brother had been persuaded by Tang San with just a few words, Xiao Wu snorted and said, "Anyway, I wasn't born into nobility."

But this behavior is nothing like that of someone born into a commoner.

Although Wang Sheng and the others are not smart, they are not stupid either. Children born into commoners, even if their martial souls mutate and they have innate full soul power, would never have such personalities.

I hadn't thought about it deeply before, but now that Tang San reminded me, I suddenly understood what I had felt was wrong a few days ago.

However, as long as Xiao Wu is still in Dormitory 7 and is a work-study student, then she is their leader. After all, Xiao Wu is indeed a qualified leader. It's just that Xiao Wu's personality is a bit unruly. What will happen to the work-study students if she suddenly leaves in the future?

"Alright, whether you are or not, give me a straight answer." Tang San smiled. "If I have any deeper ideas about martial soul research in the future and need stronger people, you should ask your family to cooperate with me."

"I've already said I'm not," Xiao Wu said helplessly. "Even if I really were, I've already run away and no one cares about me, which means I'm not valued by my family at all."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe your elders are watching you secretly to prevent you from being bullied."

Tang San made guesses based on what he should know on the surface.

"Anyway, if I were born into a large family or a noble family, and after my martial soul awakens, I would still have full innate soul power, and if I suddenly ran away, there would definitely be someone in the family secretly protecting me."

"After all, this is innate full soul power. As long as he doesn't die and doesn't choose his soul rings too recklessly, becoming a Title Douluo is only a matter of time."

"What family would be so careless as to let you run around outside alone?"

"While I was out hunting soul beasts, you became the leader of all the students at Notting Academy and defeated those nobles. But with their arrogance, even if you were stronger, how could they truly submit to you? Logically, they would definitely ask their families to investigate your background and then cause you trouble, either to subdue you or to suppress you. If you were too unruly, they would simply make you disappear from the world."

Xiao Wu felt a chill run down her spine.

Although Tang San's guess about her identity was wrong, if she really was a commoner soul master, she might really be retaliated against by them after defeating Xiao Chenyu.

"But they didn't retaliate against me!" Xiao Wu persisted. "People aren't that evil, are they?"

"People are not that evil, but they are not as kind as you think either. The reason they don't come looking for you is because you have a hundred-year spirit ring. According to these minor nobles' deductions, there must be a family behind you that they can't afford to offend, because it is almost impossible for a commoner spirit master's first spirit ring to be a hundred years old."

Tang San said irritably, "Like me, I have connections with Master Su Yuntao of the Spirit Hall, and I was only able to obtain this hundred-year spirit ring with the help of him and Master Matthew."

Xiao Wu realized that her arrival in human society was indeed a bit abrupt, but fortunately, her first soul ring was a hundred years old, and others could not find out her specific background, so they imagined her as a daughter of a large family... This was fine too, it was good for others to misunderstand, and it would also make her safer.

Furthermore, Da Ming and Er Ming are 100,000-year-old soul beasts. In other words, my family has two titled Douluo. Doesn't that mean I'm "born into a great family"?

"Alright, I agree to your terms. We'll have our match on the Notting Academy playground in three days." Xiao Wu raised her chin and looked down at Tang San.

Girls develop faster than boys, so Xiao Wu is about three to five centimeters taller than Tang San.
