Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 254 Tang San Gou, the Habitual Offender with Double Standards

Why is Tang San looking at Ning Feiliu's Iron Sun Box?

Ning Feiliu didn't know, but he knew... it was definitely not a good thing!

Moreover, he really didn't want to get involved with Tang San at all, because getting involved with Tang San would basically never bring any good things.

Unless you are weaker than him, but have potential value and are willing to be his dog.

Tang San always treats people differently based on their abilities. If someone has the potential to become a god, he'll give them a little help so they can become a god and continue to be his dog.

But if they don't have the ability to become gods, and their usefulness is gone, then they'll be kicked aside.

Just like Yu Xiaogang, to be honest, Yu Xiaogang also benefited from Tang San. In the original story, if it weren't for Tang San, Yu Xiaogang would never have been able to break through to level 30 in soul power.

But that's all there is to it, because Yu Xiaogang's talent was just so-so, and his Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan was wiped out by the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation.

Even if Tang San takes him to the God Realm, he will only hold Tang San back in the subsequent God Realm War and the turmoil in the God Circle.

That's why it was abandoned so decisively.

The same goes for Dugu Bo; his usefulness has reached its limit, so it's impossible for him to break through to the god level.

As for the others, those who have the strength but are unwilling to be his lackeys, he will either kick them aside and ignore them, or they will become his enemies and be eliminated by him.

So... does Ning Feiliu have that kind of strength?

Of course he is. His strength and value far exceed that of any of the Shrek Seven Devils.

But the key point is that he is unwilling to be Tang San's dog, so getting close to Tang San is bound to bring nothing good.

Tang San's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing his words, but he still pretended to say, "I really want to know about my father, but the dean, teachers, and my father themselves refuse to tell me."

"What does that have to do with me?" Ning Feiliu took a sip of her fine wine and said calmly, "Why should I tell you?"

Tang San was speechless for a moment, while Xiao Wu crossed her arms and then let out a soft snort, "How can you be so heartless?"

"Because it's unnecessary. You have nothing to do with me, and besides, you're just weaklings in my eyes!" Ning Feiliu said, still not even glancing at them. "So, is there any need to be sentimental? I believe Tang San thinks so too... right?"

He wasn't the type to look down on people weaker than himself; he was simply treating Tang San and Xiao Wu the way Tang San treated people.

After all, Tang San is a classic example of double standards—before becoming a Title Douluo, my father and I knew we were wrong, but after becoming a Title Douluo, what wrong did my father and I do?

This is the way to deal with this kind of person.

"No." Tang San said seriously, "In this world, it's not about who's stronger being right. Even if someone is an ordinary person, as long as we get along, I'll have a heart-to-heart talk with them."

"Hahaha..." Ning Feiliu burst into laughter, unable to hold back her laughter.

For Tang San to say something like that... is truly a huge joke.

However, he might be hypocritical without realizing it. For example, in the original story, he did things like using the Eight Spider Lances to absorb the life force of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, which was definitely the behavior of an evil Soul Master, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Furthermore, in the palace coup scene of the original storyline, he also angrily rebuked Qian Renxue, making himself appear righteous and awe-inspiring.

But can his actions be considered righteous?

His origins were never exactly clean; he came from the Tang Clan, a sect in traditional martial arts novels that is known for its use of hidden weapons, poison, and all sorts of insidious and ruthless methods.

It may not be considered evil, but it's not exactly righteous either.

However, he was an outstanding member of the Tang Sect. He was a cunning man who would go to great lengths to infiltrate a sect and steal its secret manuals if the sect refused to give them to him.

Firstly, these Tang Sect scriptures didn't originally belong to him, and secondly, it wasn't something the Tang Sect had agreed to give him but then refused to.

I really can't understand what legitimate reason he could have for stealing the secret manual.

To put it nicely, they stole the secret manuals and then used them to forge those ultimate hidden weapons to give back to the Tang Sect.

But he himself benefited the most. Without the Tang Clan's manuals, could he have obtained unparalleled martial arts skills, or even have such abilities after transmigrating?

So Tang San is truly a hypocrite, and he genuinely believes he hasn't done anything wrong.

But it is precisely because of this that he has always been inconsistent in his words and deeds.

He said that even ordinary people could have long conversations with him, as if he had never been one to curry favor with the powerful or belittle the weak.

In other words, he didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all, even though his extraordinary wisdom later caused countless deaths and injuries among ordinary people in the Douluo Continent.

In his view, everything was a necessary sacrifice for the plan, so the lives of ordinary people were worthless.

Anyway... Ning Feiliu absolutely did not believe Tang San's nonsense.

"For the sake of the good joke you told me, and for the sake of your good father, leave here." He finished laughing and regained his composure, speaking coldly.

"How could you do this?!" Xiao Wu said with some dissatisfaction.

"What? Do I have to invite you myself?" Ning Feiliu said coldly.

"No..." Tang San gritted his teeth, but he was still unwilling.

The main reason was that he looked at the pendant on Ning Feiliu's body, and finally gritted his teeth again and made up his mind.

"I have one last thing to say, Brother Ning. That pendant of yours... it has great significance to me. Could you sell it to me? I'm willing to pay any price. If not, consider it a favor I owe you, Brother Ning..." Tang San said, his eyes burning as he looked at the Steel Sun Box around Ning Feiliu's neck.

"Money? Favors?" Ning Fei laughed and said, "Do you think my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is short of money? Well, it is indeed short, just a lot. So... I'll offer you one hundred million gold soul coins. If you give me one hundred million, this soul tool of mine, along with everything inside, will be yours."

One hundred million gold soul coins?

Tang San naturally looked troubled; this was not as simple as being richer than a country.

It's important to understand that there are approximately 100,000 Soul Masters in the entire Douluo Continent. Even if all of them receive subsidies, and each of them receives 100 gold soul coins per month, it would only amount to 10 million gold soul coins.

This sum of one hundred million gold soul coins... is probably equivalent to the combined annual fiscal revenue of the two great empires.

Where did Tang San get so much money to give Ning Feiliu? You should know that in the original story, he even got the money from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

In the original storyline, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was his money bag.

Now it's the other way around. Where did he get 100 million gold soul coins to give to Ning Feiliu, who comes from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

"Then can I say that I owe you a favor?" Tang San said through gritted teeth, somewhat shamelessly.

"A favor? A favor from a Great Soul Master? Your father may be powerful, but he's no match for you. Even if he were the Pope of the Spirit Hall, it wouldn't matter," Ning Feiliu said disdainfully.

"Then can you tell me where your pendant came from?" Tang San asked again, unwilling to give up.

"I'm telling you, you're like a leech, impossible to get rid of, aren't you? I made this soul tool myself, and I bought the materials myself. Are you satisfied now? If you have nothing else to say, then leave. Just looking at you annoys me," Ning Feiliu said again, dissatisfied.

Tang San wanted to say something more, but just then...

Ning Feiliu gave him a cold look, her Samsara Domain and the power of Tongbi's control over the gale working together.

Tang San was immediately swept up by a gust of wind and pushed out of the restaurant.

He almost fell flat on his face.

This is because Ning Feiliu discovered that when his Samsara Domain is combined with different Crescent Moon Divine Weapons, the power within it will be manifested.

For example, in the realms of Falling Light and Reincarnation, one can directly manipulate gravity to create air walls and gravity-covered structures.

Other Crescent Moon Divine Weapons also have different effects: the Folding Mirror can create mental illusions, the Soul Severing can drive people into a frenzy, the Glowing Flame can create flames, the Ruined King Sword can summon mist, and so on...

Now only Xiao Wu is left.

However, Ning Feiliu did not send Xiao Wu away happily, not because she intended to keep her.

He treated Xiao Wu the same way, saying calmly, "You also want me to send you away like this?"

"I just... wanted to ask this older sister..." Xiao Wu, just like Tang San, looked at Xue Di with unwavering determination.

However, Xue Di glanced at her indifferently and said, "I have nothing to talk to you about. We have chosen different paths."

"Alright, you heard me, you can go now." Ning Feiliu waved her hand.

An invisible gale raged again, and Xiao Wu was swept away by it without any resistance.

Xiao Wu saw Tang San outside the restaurant, and the two looked at each other in surprise.

"This guy named Ning Feiliu! He really doesn't know how to cherish women at all! And he's so arrogant!" Xiao Wu immediately complained.

She had been so gentle, yet Ning Feiliu still treated her like this.

However, she was still very curious... Xue Di... what was going on?

Just now it seemed like she had merged with Ning Feiliu's aura, and Ning Feiliu also had her soul bone on her body.

In such cases, it usually means that Ning Feiliu has absorbed the soul ring and soul bone.

That was the only scenario she could think of: sacrifice. But wouldn't a sacrifice mean that the soul ring and soul bone were completely absorbed, and then the person died?

How come Xue Di not only has a soul-like existence now, but she even had a physical body just now and was eating with Ning Fei Liu?

This made Xiao Wu very curious.

She had a feeling that what happened to Xue Di would be of great help to her in the future.

Why is it that not only Ning Feiliu dislikes her, but even Xue Di, who is also a soul beast, doesn't want to associate with her?

Could it be... that Ning Feiliu forced him?

Otherwise, since they are both spirit beasts, why don't they help each other?

Just as she began to speculate about Ning Feiliu's motives...

Tang San was still unwilling to give up, but he knew that Ning Feiliu seemed to dislike him, look down on him, and disdain having any contact with him.

and so……

His old problem has relapsed.

"No! I must get my hands on that soul tool forged from the Deep Sea Silver Mother and the Cold Heart Iron Essence!" Tang San thought to himself.

That concerns whether he can recreate the Tang Clan's strongest hidden weapon, the Buddha's Fury Lotus, in this world, so he cannot give up.

Looking at the restaurant in front of him, he guessed that this was not Ning Feiliu's place to stay.

Ning Feiliu is so rich, she will probably stay at the best hotel in Soto City.

However, we should still carefully follow and explore later, and then wait until nightfall...

Tang San was very confident, after all, in his previous life he was able to break into the heavily guarded territory of the sect, which was heavily fortified and guarded by Tang Sect elders and disciples every night, and "borrow" the Tang Sect's secret techniques.

Although Ning Feiliu was powerful, there were no traps or mechanisms around him, so he was still somewhat confident.

Moreover... according to what he said, his father's true identity is something he is quite wary of.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu is unlikely to kill.

Even if he is discovered, he can get away unscathed.

So it's not a problem for him to take a risk.

He will "borrow" Ning Feiliu's soul tool for a while, and then return the soul tool to Ning Feiliu, since he doesn't want anything else.

As long as the Deep Sea Silver Mother and the Cold Heart Iron Essence are on that soul guide device.

Even thieves have their code of honor.

Moreover, he made up his mind that he would definitely repay Ning Feiliu for this favor in the future!

Tang San has always been clear about his gratitude and grudges!

Having received Ning Feiliu's "help," he will surely repay her in the future!

After thinking it over, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, you should go back to the academy first... I have some things to take care of."

……

Inside the restaurant.

After seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu off in a pleasant manner, Ning Feiliu immediately started eating.

Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong didn't say much, especially Ning Mingrui, although he didn't know why he actually had some good feelings towards Tang San and Xiao Wu at the beginning.

However, when faced with the choice between his brothers and a stranger with whom he only had a slight liking, he would, of course, choose his brothers without hesitation.

However, he was somewhat curious.

The same goes for Ning Rongrong.

"Fei Liu... who exactly is Tang San's father?" Ning Mingrui asked curiously.

Ning Feiliu had no need to hide anything from her elder brother.

Moreover, Tang Hao's name is not something to be avoided.

"Tang Hao, the heir of the Haotian Sect back then, Haotian Douluo," Ning Feiliu said calmly.

"Tang Hao?! The same Tang Hao who severely injured and killed the former Pope of the Spirit Hall?!" Ning Mingrui's expression changed.

When that incident happened twelve years ago, Ning Mingrui was already an eleven-year-old boy. Back then, the three sects were still in contact with each other.

So of course he couldn't possibly not know about that.

Although outsiders, including the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant School of the three upper sects, did not know exactly what happened in that battle.

However, what we do know is that Tang Hao broke through to the Title Douluo level and obtained the title of Haotian Douluo. At the same time, he broke through to the Title Douluo level at the age of forty-four, becoming the youngest Title Douluo in the history of the continent.

Shortly after that night, the Pope of the Spirit Hall died under mysterious circumstances.

Then the Spirit Hall launched an attack on the Clear Sky Sect, which suffered heavy losses, including two Title Douluo. The sect leader was driven to his death by anger, and the Grand Elder was besieged and killed by the Spirit Hall's experts.

At that time, Tang Xiao, the eldest son of the sect leader of Haotian Sect, took over the position of sect leader and declared to the outside world that Haotian Sect had retreated to the mountains and would not leave the mainland.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, and the official explanation was not provided.

But things have come to this point...

Can't you get in touch with me?

As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji's death was certainly known throughout the entire continent.

The fact that Haotian Sect later withdrew from the government is probably known to any powerful force in the three upper sects and two great empires.

Only those born after Tang Hao's incident, like Ning Rongrong, missed the news and didn't know about it.
