Using Tang San as a Research Tool
Tang San's attention was successfully diverted. He felt that as long as one's appearance was good-looking, that was enough. Especially after watching Teacher Yu Xiaogang and Chen Xin Douluo spar, he was filled with longing to become a strong person. After all, he was Titled Douluo! Once he became Titled Douluo, he could fly into the sky, something that Tang San would never have dared to dream of in his previous life.
Soon, Yu Xiaogang hosted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect group. That evening, the Dragon Gate Sect held a grand banquet to celebrate the fact that the sect leader had accepted another personal disciple. The Dragon Gate Sect became stronger and more prosperous, and the disciples became more and more confident. After all, when they went out, they were not afraid of trouble because they had the support of the sect.
A few days later, early in the morning, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After all, as the sect leader, he couldn't leave the sect for too long, since one was in Heaven Dou City and the other was in Notting City of the Douluo Continent, a long distance away.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Ning Rongrong pleaded with her father Ning Fengzhi, "Daddy, please come see Rongrong often! Rongrong will miss you!"
Ning Fengzhi squatted down, picked up Ning Rongrong, and affectionately teased her forehead against hers before promising:
"Okay, Rongrong, be a good girl and listen to your teacher! Dad will call you on video calls often. Our Rongrong is growing up and needs to be more sensible."
Then, Ning Fengzhi gently put Ning Rongrong down and took out a Gold Card from his Storage Soul Tool, handing it to Ning Rongrong and saying:
"Rongrong, I have one million Gold Soul Coin here. If you need more, just ask your father! Study hard with your teacher and learn your skills. Father is leaving now!"
Ning Fengzhi was a decisive person. In fact, he was also reluctant to let Ning Rongrong leave him at such a young age. Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang upgraded the Communication Soul Tool he had given him, which could Projection Communication and communicate remotely as if they were face-to-face.
As Chen Xin followed Ning Fengzhi into the carriage, he turned around and stared at Tang San with unfriendly eyes, as if he were looking at a little blondie. This made Tang San feel prickly all over. Had he done something wrong? No, Tang San thought back to how much he had taken care of his new junior sister these past few days! He had even personally taught Ning Rongrong the Longevity Technique Foundation Establishment Chapter, although Ning Rongrong always smiled and mistakenly called him "senior sister" whenever she saw Tang San.
After giving Tang San a few warning glances, Chen Xin immediately changed his expression, revealing a kind smile as he said to Ning Rongrong in a serious tone:
"If anyone bullies you in the Dragon Gate Sect, Rongrong! Immediately call your Sword Grandfather via video call. Sword Grandfather will back you up! Remember, call Sword Grandfather, not Bone Grandfather!"
After seeing Ning Rongrong nod blankly, Chen Xin entered the Flying Soul Tool RV. Soon after, the RV floated up and flew towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Rongrong immediately put away her heartbroken expression and happily jumped to Tang San and Yu Linglong's side, acting coquettishly:
"Senior sister! Senior sister! Let's go to the Notting City amusement park! Didn't Sister Linglong say last time that it's the most fun place in Notting City?"
Ning Rongrong waved the Gold Card in her hand, her little face beaming with pride, and said:
"Look at this Gold Card! My dad gave me a million Gold Soul Coin as pocket money! Back in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he never let me go out to play. Coming here to become a disciple was definitely the right decision!"
Tang San was a little dumbfounded, seeing how quickly her expression changed, as if turning the pages of a book. His junior sister, Ning Rongrong, was a little incredulous. Just a moment ago, she looked like she was reluctant to part with her father and had tears in her eyes, but in the next moment, she was excitedly inviting them to visit Notting City.
Tang San, embarrassed, scratched his head and awkwardly looked at Ning Rongrong's expectant eyes, and said:
"Junior Sister, I still need to go see my teacher later. I need to help with the new cultivation technique. How about Senior Sister Linglong goes with you to play?"
Ning Rongrong's face fell after being rejected by Tang San. Yu Linglong noticed something, rolled her eyes at Tang San, and then dragged Ning Rongrong to Notting City for sightseeing. As a girl, she was observant and immediately saw that Ning Rongrong was a little upset because she was away from her familiar family and needed someone to accompany her. But how could her junior brother, who was so handsome, not understand human relationships? What a blockhead!
Tang San scratched his fair cheek with his fingers, watching Ning Rongrong and Yu Linglong leave for Notting City, chatting and laughing. He said somewhat dejectedly:
"Did I say something wrong? Never mind, the most important thing is the teacher's derivation of the new technique. What new and interesting discoveries will there be today? I can't wait!"
After all, Tang San grew up alone since childhood. In his previous life in the Tang Sect Tang San was a tech geek who didn't understand social etiquette at all. Soon, Tang San put the matter of making Ning Rongrong angry out of his mind and went to the back hall of the Dragon Gate Sect Back Hall. After many twists and turns, he found Teacher Yu Xiaogang, who was busy in his Private Laboratory in the study.
Tang San saw Teacher Yu Xiaogang fiddling with his character model in the middle of the laboratory and interrupted him, saying, "Teacher, I'm here! I just sent Junior Sister's father and Sword Grandfather back. Junior Sister Rongrong and Senior Sister Linglong went to Notting City to relax."
Without looking up, Yu Xiaogang continued to busy himself with flipping through the projected data in his hand and said, "Okay, teacher, I understand. San-ge, go check the Mystic Jade Hand on the test platform. Teacher needs the experimental data."
Following Teacher Yu Xiaogang's instructions, Tang San walked to a metal detector and activated the Mystic Jade Hand. Soon, his Soul Power surged in his hands, and his originally snow-white and delicate skin turned into a bluish-jade color. Several days later Tang San felt embarrassed to see his own model in Teacher Yu Xiaogang's Private Laboratory.
After all, Teacher Yu Xiaogang created this model projection with his own blood. It was initially completely naked, and it was only after Tang San reminded him that he was given clothes.
Tang San turned to look at his teacher and couldn't hold back any longer. Looking at the virtual projection model that looked exactly like him, he pouted and said, "Teacher, why did you use me as the model? It's so awkward to see myself like a tool in your hands!"
Yu Xiaogang pulled aside a projection screen showing a scan of Tang San's hand and, with a serious expression, instructed Tang San:
"San-ge, remember that scientific experiments are a rigorous matter and cannot be taken lightly. After all, you are the only one who has cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. Your teacher does not know how others will fare when cultivating it, so I can only use your blood to construct a mathematical model. The reason I asked you to demonstrate the Mystic Jade Hand today is to refine your teacher's ideas."
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang pulled a notebook from a bookshelf and handed it to Tang San, who was listening attentively. He continued, "San-ge, you should know that your Tuanzi sister's true form is a White Tiger Soul Beast, right?"
Tang San nodded blankly to indicate that he knew, after all, he was very surprised when he first saw Little Ball, thinking that he had encountered a monster! Later, after his father Tang Hao explained in a funny way, he learned that the Soul Beast Transformation, which caused quite a few jokes.
Yu Xiaogang was pleased to see Tang San listening attentively like a primary school student, so he continued to share his thoughts:
"Soul Beast are inherently stronger than humans, especially animals like tigers whose bones are particularly hard and resilient. After your Tuanzi Soul Beast's bloodline evolved, she gained a special talent that allows her to train her body and bones. I've always wanted to replicate this in humans, but I haven't made any progress until you, San-ge, brought me this opportunity."
Tang San raised his hands, activated the Mystic Jade Hand, and muttered to himself:
"Could it be the Mystic Jade Hand technique from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record? But I also know that Grandpa Tai Tan has the Iron Refining Hand, right? Wouldn't that work?"
Yu Xiaogang pulled out a data comparison chart of the Mystic Jade Hand and the Iron Refining Hand, and explained to the inquiring Tang San, "San-ge, take a good look at your Tuanzi Tuanzi's bloodline ability before you talk about it. The Tai Tan family's Iron Refining Hand requires forging iron to cultivate the metal energy into the skin of the hands, while the Mystic Jade Hand of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record changes the hands through a special energy circulation route. One relies on external objects and the other relies on oneself. Moreover, the human skeleton is very important and cannot be reckless."
Tang San suddenly realized that what Teacher Yu Xiaogang said was right. What if his bones turned into metal after training his body? After all, this was achieved by relying on external objects. He had been naive. Body training was not that simple!
Tang San exclaimed in admiration, "My teacher truly lives up to his title! He knows so much!" (This is from the author's new book, a Tomb Raider fanfiction. Those who enjoy this genre can add it to their collection. Thank you!)
