Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 56 Innate Soul Power and Affinity

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yuntao and Sisi also returned from their honeymoon, bringing back nearly 100 kilograms of millennium whale glue, which they secretly stored in the basement of their home.

Upon learning this, Matthew bought some for his descendants at a reasonable price.

When Tang San wanted to buy it, Su Yuntao gave it to them for free, saying that if he hadn't told them about the effects of whale glue, they wouldn't have been able to get such a good deal.

Moreover, Su Yuntao also said that Matthew bought one kilogram from him and he had already broken even.

It is foreseeable that these nearly 100 kilograms of whale glue alone will be enough to ensure that Su Yuntao and Sisi will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

However, neither of them plans to retire from the Spirit Hall, after all, they are both still young.

Su Yuntao was planning to take over as the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall in Notting City after Matthew's retirement. Therefore, he needed to accumulate experience and then work hard to cultivate, striving to reach level 30 before the age of 30.

After all, by the time one reaches thirty, one is already in middle age, and it is difficult to further improve one's physical fitness. After forty, the body begins to age. So, generally speaking, unless one has some extraordinary opportunity to defy fate, if one does not break through level 30 before the age of thirty, one will not be able to break through for the rest of one's life.

Therefore, in his spare time, Su Yuntao would often bring Sisi to see Tang San to help with all his research.

And the results were remarkable.

With Tang San's help, the two of them accelerated their cultivation of soul power.

Furthermore, Tang San also used the two people's cultivation methods to verify whether the innate soul power of a martial soul represents the affinity of the martial soul to the person.

Tang San had Su Yuntao raise a large number of dogs and asked him to take care of them. He even cultivated among the dogs after they became familiar with him.

Sure enough, Su Yuntao's speed of cultivating soul power increased.

However, after leaving the pack of dogs, Su Yuntao's cultivation speed decreased again.

A simulated training environment might allow a Soul Master to increase their understanding of their Martial Soul, thereby increasing their training speed, but this understanding is only temporary, and it doesn't truly establish a connection between the Soul Master and their own Martial Soul deep down.

For Su Yuntao, training among wolves would actually be the best option, but unfortunately, wolves are difficult to tame, and Tang San wouldn't let Su Yuntao take that risk.

And what about Sisi?

Tang San first had her cultivate while wrapped in a ribbon, and found that her soul power cultivation speed did indeed increase, but compared to Su Yuntao, the increase in cultivation speed was very small, almost negligible.

Is it because Su Yuntao has a beast-type martial soul, while Sisi has a weapon-type martial soul?

Tang San disagreed.

Although beast spirits and weapon spirits are different, the difference shouldn't be this big.

So, Tang San then had Sisi buy a spinning machine so she could learn to weave ribbons and deepen her understanding of ribbons.

Half a month later, Sisi meditated in an environment without any ribbons, and her cultivation speed actually increased. Although it was only comparable to Su Yuntao's cultivation speed among the dogs, it was a permanent improvement.

Although it will still be affected by external factors, this improvement is indeed permanent.

Sisi also shared her feelings, saying that she seemed to understand her martial soul better than before, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She just had a unique understanding of how to weave ribbons.

However, perhaps because Sisi lacked sufficient understanding of ribbon weaving, for a period of time afterward, no matter how Sisi wove on the loom, she was unable to increase the cultivation speed of her martial spirit.

Tang San was helpless in this regard, since his martial soul was not a ribbon. However, he did offer Sisi some advice, which was to tell her not to only think about weaving ribbons, but to try making other things with ribbons, such as handkerchiefs, clothes, etc.

Tang San also gained a lot, namely, he understood why the simulated training environment has an advantage for Soul Masters' training - in addition to the fact that the corresponding environment has more suitable heaven and earth energy for the growth of the corresponding martial soul attribute, more importantly, Soul Masters can deepen their understanding of their martial soul.

However, it seems that most Soul Masters in the world do not "communicate" with their Martial Souls and do not know how to deepen their understanding of each other. Instead, they unilaterally believe that the increased cultivation speed in a specific environment is entirely due to the simulated environment, rather than their own understanding of their Martial Souls.

Therefore, Tang San had another guess: those beings whose innate soul power was below level nine but who were able to become Title Douluo all had a unique understanding of their own martial soul.

"Now I can confirm my guess. Different types of martial souls have varying qualities, which affects innate soul power. However, among martial souls of the same type, the quality difference isn't significant. After all, they share the same bloodline, so there's no reason for such a large difference. It's most likely that the affinity between the human and the martial soul isn't strong enough." Tang San became excited. "After all, martial souls are inherited through bloodline. It's not like a person can simply possess whatever martial soul they want, unless it's a mutation, or something like that through years of evolution, or perhaps..."

Tang San thought of Mu Tian, ​​the transmigrator whose martial soul was the Nine-Headed Chimera, which was the god of divine punishment.

Besides being inherited through bloodline, a martial spirit can also be bestowed upon someone.

As long as you reach the god level.

However, this theory needs more people to verify it, and even if it can be published, Tang San feels that until he reaches a certain level of strength, he can only spread it to his own people on a small scale...

···

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The holiday at Notting Academy was approaching, so Tang San took Xiao Wu back to Holy Soul Village ahead of time, bought many gifts for Old Jack, and helped with summer farming.

After that, Tang San decided to go with Su Yuntao to a nearby village to help awaken martial souls.

Its purpose, of course, is to study various different martial souls, and if possible, to start training its own team from a young age.

Compared to those exceptionally talented geniuses, Tang San trusted these commoners who were born into the same social class as him more.

Although Tang San's bloodline comes from the Haotian lineage, making him no commoner by any means, in his eyes, the distinction between commoners and nobles lies in one's social class, not just bloodline.

Admittedly, in this world, those with strong bloodlines are more likely to become nobles.

"Little San, are you really going to come with me to help the villages near Notting City awaken their martial souls? This is going to be a very difficult task," Su Yuntao asked.

"Of course, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I realized that I'm not even familiar with the towns and villages near Notting City, which is really wrong of me. So I want to start with small things." Tang San nodded. "Besides, Brother Tao, my soul power has already reached level twenty-four."

"I really envy you. My soul power is only level 26 now, and you're about to surpass me. You'll definitely become a powerful Title Douluo in the future," Su Yuntao said with a smile. "I hope that in the future I can tell my children: all Title Douluos will call me Brother Tao."

Tang San: O(∩_∩)O Haha~

After making some preparations, the two set off. However, unlike usual, Su Yuntao was also leading fifteen puppies. After discovering that he cultivated faster among the dogs, Su Yuntao now took the dogs with him no matter what he did.

Um--

Besides trivial matters such as going to the toilet, taking a shower, and communicating between husband and wife.

"Where's your girlfriend?" Su Yuntao asked Xiao Wu. "Isn't she always by your side?"

"What little girlfriend? Not yet." Tang San denied it, then said, "She's reached level 20 and gone to hunt for spirit rings. Hopefully, she'll listen to my advice."
