Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 66 Tang San, you must be mine!

"Is that so?" Xue Qinghe's tone was slightly sarcastic. "Is it really not because he was the first person to discover the effects of whale glue, and you, who discovered it earlier than him, are just jealous?"

Over the past six years, Xue Qinghe has come to understand Wang Chen's temperament. Although he appears obedient on the surface, he has an inexplicable arrogance, as if he looks down on everyone.

Normal children from ordinary families, especially those from small villages, would never act this way. Instead, they would be cautious and timid. Even if they possessed innate full soul power, they would not be so arrogant.

Moreover, Wang Chen is extremely jealous. She almost never allows other children her age to contradict her. If any other child excels in one aspect, she will stop at nothing to surpass them in order to demonstrate her value in front of her. Her intentions are very clear.

Just like she disguised herself as Xue Qinghe.

But this did not make her empathize with Wang Chen, or even maintain a barely perceptible wariness towards him.

Even bad people hope that good people are around them.

but--

This is one of the reasons why she kept Wang Chen by her side. He reminded her of a familiar figure, and at least on the surface, he had been "tamed" by her. He was obedient and useful.

Even if he had different ideas and expressed them, once she gave the order, he would never object further.

Seeing Wang Chen remain silent, Xue Qinghe said, "Go down and cultivate diligently. Your soul power is already at level twenty-seven. Try to break through to level thirty before you turn thirteen. And now that everyone knows about the effects of whale glue, try to withstand three thousand years when you get your third soul ring. Is that alright?"

"Young Master, could you please grant me a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue? I wish to try enduring ten thousand years on my third spirit ring," Wang Chen asked respectfully.

"The value of whale glue has already been announced. Ten-thousand-year whale glue has even a slight effect on Title Douluos below level 95. You're just a person with innate full soul power, and you haven't accomplished anything. What qualifications do you have to enjoy it?" Xue Qinghe asked a question that Wang Chen couldn't answer at the moment. "Also, didn't you say that after you consumed a piece of thousand-year whale glue, your second soul ring could withstand the thousand-year level?"

"But what was the result?"

"You failed to absorb it. If my Angel Martial Soul hadn't been a god-level Martial Soul that forcibly severed your connection with that thousand-year-old Soul Ring, you would have been reduced to ashes. It's lucky that you were able to continue cultivating and find a Soul Ring that's nearly nine hundred years old."

Compared to Wang Chen's "accidental" discovery of the effects of whale glue, Xue Qinghe trusted Tang San more. After all, Tang San's research on whale glue was thorough. Except for the hundred-year-old whale glue, which was not mentioned much because it could not be found, Tang San gave a general range of the effects of the thousand-year-old whale glue, the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, and ordinary whale glue, as well as how much of it could improve the human body.

Unlike Wang Chen, who only mentioned that whale gelatin could improve physical fitness and then stopped there, without going into details such as how many grams to take, how much it could improve, or whether the effects of whale gelatin were the same for people of different ages, etc.

Wang Chen couldn't explain these things, but Tang San gave a general range of results, proving that after discovering the effects of whale glue, he didn't immediately get too excited. Instead, he seriously studied the effects of different whale glues, different dosages, and different methods of use on the enhancement of soul masters of different ages.

Although the final results are still somewhat abstract and the range is not very accurate, they at least allow later users to better judge how much they have improved after taking whale gelatin.

This can also provide great help to later researchers.

Hearing Qian Renxue say this, Wang Chen remained silent, realizing that he was not that important in Qian Renxue's eyes. Perhaps in her mind, he, with his innate full soul power, would at most become a Title Douluo in the future, while she, with the Spirit Hall behind her, would be able to use all the Title Douluos in the Spirit Hall as long as she became a god.

For a genius like him, other major powers might try their best to win him over, but for Qian Renxue, a mere Title Douluo is not worth putting down too much face for. The Spirit Hall already has more than two dozen Title Douluos, and having one more in the future would only be icing on the cake.

Moreover, he has already caught Qian Renxue's eye, and she cannot betray him unless absolutely necessary, otherwise she will have to go into hiding.

After Wang Chen left, a middle-aged man appeared behind Xue Qinghe and handed him a letter, saying, "This is news about Tang San from the Grand Elder of Wuhun City. His innate soul power is only level six, and his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. However, his first soul ring was absorbed beyond his level, a five-hundred-year-old Thousand-Root Banyan. At that time, he should not have consumed whale glue. His second soul ring should be the super-limited soul ring he absorbed after consuming whale glue. According to the information from the branch hall master of Notting City, it is a thousand-year level. If that branch hall master did not misjudge the depth of the color, then that soul ring is very likely close to two thousand years old."

Xue Qinghe's pupils constricted sharply, and he sighed, "Seven years old, a second soul ring that's a thousand years old, and close to two thousand years old... a mere Blue Silver Grass martial soul, yet it shines brighter than my Angel martial soul. Truly remarkable. Do you think you can subdue such a talent?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "The Pope did not force anyone to bring him into Spirit City. According to Matthew, the boy was very thoughtful and did not want to be bound by the Spirit Hall's education, thus becoming just another ordinary person."

"This situation is somewhat similar to Wang Chen's at the beginning." Xue Qinghe thought of Wang Chen, then shook his head. "It's still different. If there's something good, Wang Chen would keep it to himself first. Even if he verified that it was effective, he wouldn't publish it. He's not as open-minded as Tang San."

"Young Master, there's one more thing," the middle-aged man continued. "Our spies planted in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have some news. The child with the separated martial soul in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School fought with Tang San while helping Ning Rongrong hunt for souls. He lost, and Tang San even said something very arrogant to Mu Tian."

"What did you say?" Xue Qinghe asked curiously.

"Those who lose to me are never considered my opponents. I will give you time to catch up, until you can no longer see me." The middle-aged man said this with a strange expression.

Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up. Looking at the portrait of Tang San in the intelligence from the Spirit Hall, he imagined a spirited young man speaking those words to the loser, how dashing he must be.

On the mainland, when commoner Soul Masters encounter enemies in the wild, after defeating them, they usually try to eliminate them as much as possible to avoid trouble later.

But the fact that Tang San could say such a thing shows his confidence!

She couldn't help but want to meet him.

"Young Master, I think he might just be boasting, or stalling for time, since there were other members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School present at the time," the middle-aged man reminded him.

"Courageous and resourceful, even better." Once Xue Qinghe formed her first impression of Tang San and became prejudiced, she could come up with a suitable reason to explain away any criticisms from others. Moreover, in the face of nearly thirty soul masters from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she was able to show no respect to Mu Tian and say those things afterward. Wasn't that a kind of humor and arrogance?

In Xue Qinghe's opinion, Tang San was able to chat and laugh in front of the other members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after defeating Mu Tian, ​​which was even more precious.

It's only when you recruit talents like that that you feel a sense of accomplishment!

Tang San!

"You'll always be mine!"

Qian Renxue, being a fellow genius, would instinctively feel affection for someone who is extremely talented, especially since she herself lacks love and is always somewhat empty inside.
