Tang San was moved!
Visibly moved!
He seemed to be leaning towards "returning" to the Tang Sect.
Tang Lan, however, wasn't worried at all.
First of all, the current Tang Sect was built by his own hands.
If Tang San wanted to take over, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't be the first to agree.
—Even if Tang Lan was willing to assist fully, he wouldn't agree! Such an important matter, concerning unification, meant more uncertainty with each additional person involved.
Not to mention... Although Tang San's talent was decent, it was far inferior to Tang Lan's.
Not worthy of cooperation with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!
Let's not talk about the distant past.
Just look at what's happening now.
"Hey! Tang San!" Xiao Wu couldn't stand it anymore: "Your brother has taken care of you since you were a child!"
"He gave you his soul power cultivation path, his self-created soul skills, even the money he earned!"
"You wore new clothes, while his were patched up!"
"He could have gone to a better noble academy, but he came to Shrek Academy with you because he was worried about you!"
"And now you want to steal his hard work?"
"Are you his brother, or are you a parasite?"
Tang San's face was flushed with shame, unable to retort.
From a young age, although Tang Hao always suppressed him, he also always gave in to him.
After his father left home, he took on the responsibilities of the family.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was like a father.
Now he… 'I was actually tempted.'
'If I had agreed just now, Big Brother would definitely have given the Tang Sect to me. What would people think of me then?'
'Sigh—'
'Forget it.'
"Anything that belongs to Little Bro, I'll give it to you as long as you ask."
"Today is the first time Bro is asking."
"My things can also be given to Bro!"
Thinking thus,
Tang San spoke, "Bro, I want to add a Hidden Weapons Hall within the Tang Sect, specifically to teach my abilities, is that okay?"
Hmm. This Tang Sect is Bro's. If he teaches disciples, isn't that "giving" to Bro? Tang Lan laughed.
He had played the pitiful card for so long, and you finally took the bait!
And create a Hidden Weapons Hall?
"How much energy will this cost you?"
"Your cultivation will definitely be delayed!"
"No!"
"I need to give you more!"
"Little San, you can't just focus on your hidden weapons."
"These firearms are also derived from hidden weapons. Let's call them Firepower."
"You, Little San, will be responsible for the future improvements to Firepower."
"I think we should establish a new Weaponry Department specifically for researching hidden weapons and Firepower."
"And also produce things like bullets, the core confidential components."
"As for the other firearms and simple hidden weapon parts, I will hire a group of blacksmiths later to specifically work with you on production."
"In addition, I appoint you, Xiao San, as Deputy Sect Leader. Everyone and everything in the sect will be at your command!"
"How does that sound?"
He gave him power, people, and money.
He gave him both face and substance.
How could Tang San refuse?
He could only nod in agreement.
"Thank you, brother. I'll work hard!"
"The two of us brothers will build a world together!" Tang Lan patted Tang San on the shoulder, smiling, "When Father comes back, he'll definitely be proud of us!"
Tang San, hearing this, also revealed a look of longing.
Even though Tang Hao was partial.
Deep down, he still yearned to be recognized.
"Right," Tang Lan changed the subject, "About the gunpowder for the bullets, when I tested it earlier, igniting it on a large scale would cause a major explosion. Maybe we could use this idea to make bombs or other explosives?"
Tang San immediately thought of,
the first-ranked hidden weapon in the mechanical hidden weapons category — the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus! In his previous life, ...
Tang San, using incomplete blueprints, spent twenty years creating three Buddha's Fury Tang Lotuses.
But the key recipe among them was the explosive.
The explosive used a type of explosive lava powder, which didn't exist on the Douluo Continent.
If the gunpowder Tang Lan invented could replace the explosive recipe...
The light in Tang San's eyes burned with a fervent glow!
"Bro! I'll take a few days off, tell the dean for me!"
He ran off in a flash.
Judging by the direction,
he was heading back to his dorm to do research.
Tang Lan was very satisfied.
His definition of the Weaponry Department was a research and secrecy institution.
Just keep throwing out research projects that interest Tang San.
Then he'll become obsessed with research and won't be able to pull himself away, and his cultivation progress will naturally fall behind.
And whether it's hidden weapons or firearms.
Even if their power is enough to kill gods, they are still just external objects.
In the future.
Tang Lan achieves God King status, with an infinite lifespan.
Tang San spends his time on research, neglecting cultivation, and his opportunities are all snatched away by Tang Lan.
At best, he'll be a Title Douluo.
Even if he could kill gods with hidden weapons and firearms, what was the point?
How long would he live?
At that time,
Tang Lan must repeat the famous words of the God King Tang—blame yourself for not cultivating diligently enough back then!
Tsk tsk, looking forward to it!
For the next three days, Tang San was nowhere to be seen.
Flender had no objections to this.
The sound of hammering in the dormitory never stopped, even late at night, and the body-tempering intensity was much more exaggerated than here.
Although Tang San wasn't around,
Oscar didn't slack off at all, focusing on training to the death.
His willpower was astonishing!
Without any accidents,
Tang Lan was determined to take Tang San as his disciple.
His mood improved again.
He stopped hammering the iron.
Anyway, Tang San would worry about the firearms and hidden weapons in the future.
The Nine Yang Divine Skill automatically ran in the background, and all he could do now was body training.
Zhao Wuji had reached the first level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, his soul power transforming into a misty purple aura, and his soul skills were also more enduring.
But he really couldn't increase the gravity; the others couldn't handle it.
Tang Lan then carried the Thunderflame Clear Sky Hammer on his back and trained Xiao Wu and the other two women in Lofty Waves Tread.
He was running ahead, with the three girls following behind.
They were stepping in Tang San's direction, mimicking his movements.
The progress was encouraging.
On the evening of the sixth day after Ning Fengzhi left.
Xiao Wu knocked on the door and told Tang San that the Six Elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had arrived with a large group of people!
"They're finally here!" Tang San laughed. "Xiao San, stop forging, go and receive the supplies."
The sound of the blacksmithing next door ceased.
After a few seconds,
Tang San, with a messy beard, opened the door, his eyes shining extraordinarily.
"Where are the ores?"
"There's a lot of them, they're all piled up on the training ground."
Xiao Wu hadn't even finished speaking.
Tang San had already shot off like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the training ground.
Xiao Wu pouted unhappily.
"Brother, isn't your brother a bit rude?"
"Never mind him," Tang Lan soothed. "He's been stuck on metal materials recently, so I wrote to my older brother and asked him to get a batch for him. They should have been delivered together."
Xiao Wu didn't dwell on it after hearing this.
Pulling Tang San in another direction.
"The Sixth Elder is over in the Dean's office. He said there's something important and he must hand it to you personally."
It sounded like they valued it highly.
But if they truly valued it, shouldn't he have come to find him directly?
He's still sitting in the Dean's office.
Tang San didn't say much.
After all, in their eyes, the Tang Sect was just a nobody.
He and Xiao Wu arrived at the Dean's office.
A furious shout rang out, "You dare bully our Rongrong? That what's-his-name, you'll pay today!"
Huh?
Tang San frowned. Ning Rongrong was already complaining?
"Sixth Grandpa, don't listen to the guards!" Ning Rongrong's voice followed. "I was the one who brought up the past, and I'm fine, see?"
Oh!
So the guards were the ones who ran their mouths—Ning Fengzhi wouldn't just let Ning Rongrong wander around alone.
Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu, who understood and knocked on the door.
The discussion inside stopped abruptly.
"Come in," Flender called out.
Xiao Wu pushed the door open, and Tang San followed.
There were only three people in the headmaster's office:
Ning Rongrong, Flender, and a middle-aged man with white hair.
"Xiao San, you're here," Flender said, getting up to greet him. "This is Chi Feng, the Sixth Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, an 84th rank Soul Douluo!"
"You two talk, I'll go outside and take a look."
He took the initiative to leave the headmaster's office and closed the door behind him.
Chi Feng nodded to Tang San, his expression neutral.
He touched his belt, and a pile of ore appeared on the ground, along with a large wooden box.
"These are the precious ores that Sect Leader Ning instructed to be specially brought from Xingeng City."
"Inside the wooden box is the thousand-year-old whale glue purchased from the nobles, a total of nine pieces."
"They are all handed over to you now, please check them."
His tone was businesslike, neither intimate nor distant.
Tang Lan checked the ore. Everything on the list was there, and in double the quantity.
The whale glue was substantial in each piece, with a thousand-year age.
Ning Fengzhi was reliable.
As for the ten-thousand-year stuff...
It was something that couldn't be found even if you looked for it. Money couldn't buy it.
But since these things were here, Tang San would be disappointed.
He stored everything into his Blue King.
The Blue King had been refined by him again, and its space had expanded to 15 meters on each side.
It could hold a lot.
"I have another mission this time," Chi Feng said at the right moment. "Sect Leader Ning asked me to bring a group of disciples to be handed over to your Tang Sect."
Boom——
A huge roar came from the direction of the training ground.
The four of them turned their heads and saw a burst of flames rising.
Was that... An explosive?
[Host has caused Tang San to use the Undying Seal Technique improperly, overdrawing his potential and decreasing his future achievements, seizing a small amount of Tang San's luck!] [Reward:
A small stream of Nine Yang Divine Skill inner strength emerged, causing Tang Lan's expression to tighten! Tang San's Undying Seal Technique had gone awry, able to ignite soul power with his potential and vitality, erupting with powerful combat strength.
But the aftereffects were also considerable; it wouldn't be used unless it was a life-or-death situation!
He was just going to get something; why did he have to risk his life?
"Not good!" Chi Feng exclaimed in alarm, "It's the location where the supplies are stored!"
A golden-winged eagle materialized behind him. His first soul ring lit up, and his hands transformed into wings as he flew out the window.
"The two of you, look after each other."
Tang San instructed.
He also activated the flight soul bone skill of his Blue Silver Right Leg Bone, infusing a large amount of inner energy into it, and caught up with Chi Feng.
This caused Chi Feng to look over in surprise.
He narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the Blue Silver Right Leg Bone.
He didn't realize it was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
He was just surprised that Tang Lan, at such a young age, already possessed a soul bone.
But the soul bone skill, flight, was useless to him.
He simply retracted his gaze.
— Non-hundred-thousand-year soul bones generally have only one soul bone skill.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
Amidst the dense explosions, sparks erupted across the training ground.
And the source of these explosions was the small iron balls Tang San had thrown.
Nearby,
A group of people wearing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's uniforms were unleashing their soul skills, having activated their martial souls.
Each of them was targeting Tang San's vital points!
Fortunately,
Tang San had Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and he also activated the reverse Undying Seal Technique, greatly increasing his speed and reflexes.
He could always find an opening to slip through the dazzling soul skills.
Dodging attacks with perilous grace.
Further out, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were also in combat.
Dai Mubai, with his higher level, was being besieged by three Soul Elders, yet he was still holding his own.
However, breaking through in the short term was difficult.
Zhu Zhuqing, only a Soul Grand Master, was being attacked by two Soul Elders.
But relying on Lofty Waves Tread to dart left and right, occasionally counterattacking, she was surprisingly in a slightly advantageous position.
Heh! It's a huge melee now? Tang San, the one who always protects his own, isn't bothering with the reasons!
Purple light ignited in his left eye – Soul Bone Skill: Life Burial!
Over a hundred meters away,
Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor spirit exploded outwards, centered on him, covering a radius of ten meters in a single breath, binding over a dozen people.
It was greedily absorbing all energy!
"What is this thing!"
"Can't break free!"
"It can even absorb mental power!"
"Why are my legs so weak?"
Soul Masters below the fourth Soul Ring level immediately collapsed to the ground from weakness.
Even the Soul Masters at the fourth Soul Ring level felt their limbs go limp, making it difficult to attack.
Several of the Soul Kings at the fifth Soul Ring level were better off, but they still couldn't break free.
Six Ring Soul Emperor.
This wasn't the case.
Otherwise, even if Tang San had activated the reversed Undying Seal Technique, he wouldn't have lasted until now.
Tang San saw his Life Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly stopped the reversed Undying Seal Technique. A few streaks of white hair appeared on his forehead, and he began to sweat profusely.
He swayed, about to fall.
Tang Lan, who had landed, caught him, pouring in Nine Yang Divine Skill inner strength without hesitation.
It repaired Tang San's overdrawn vitality and also mixed up his Profound Heaven Skill inner strength.
However, the vitality absorbed by the Life Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, was being stored by Tang Lan, who was preparing to discard it later.
——The main focus was to torment Tang San!
At the same time,
There was also a massive accumulation of mental power.
It actually stimulated the double pupils, which began to slowly absorb this external mental power, using it as nourishment for its own evolution.
Roughly every 5 seconds, it could add 1 year of cultivation.
Tang Lan's eyes lit up!
There's also this benefit?
Excellent, excellent!
Pretending to be angry, he surveyed his surroundings, his Blue Silver Domain expanding to its limit.
"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Emperor Spike!"
Dense, life-force-imbued Blue Silver Emperors surged forth, entangling over seventy percent of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples.
Although the absorption efficiency wasn't as high as Life Burial, the sheer quantity was overwhelming!
His double pupils immediately shifted to 1 second per year, and his cultivation skyrocketed!
Tang San was ecstatic.
This group had forced Tang San to fight with everything he had, and now they were essentially sacrificing themselves.
What good people!
On the periphery, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were also able to break free.
They were staring at the "small forest" before them in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Those were dozens of Soul Masters!
And they were all bound like that?
Previously, when Tang San had fought with Flender and Zhao Wuji, they had only thought Tang San was very powerful.
Now, facing someone of the same rank, he finally understood how freakishly strong they were!
Up in the sky.
Chi Feng was also astonished by Tang San's power.
But he confirmed that Tang San wasn't trying to kill, only absorbing soul power to weaken the resistance.
So, he didn't intervene.
He knew this Tang San; he was Tang Lan's younger brother.
They had depended on each other since childhood, their relationship was deep!
With his Soul Douluo's discerning eyes, it wasn't hard to see that Tang San had just used a method that involved overexertion.
It damaged his foundation!
Regardless of the reason.
Now that this has happened, the impact on the cooperation between the two sects could be significant.
Let Tang San vent his anger, it's for the best.
He turned around and found a disciple on the periphery........
