Entering the System, Maintaining the System-Or Be Excluded!
"So that's why you asked me to remind you, at a necessary moment in the future, not to forget where you came from?"
In that instant, Tang San seemed to understand Zhou Qing's worries, or rather, his fear!
Zhou Qing was filled with fear. If he were to enter the noble system of the Heaven Dou Empire in the future, he would become a part of upholding the rules, thus becoming the very thing he despised now.
To be honest.
Tang San wasn't sure if he would become a completely different person from himself if he entered the system and became a beneficiary.
In his previous life, he had heard of many people who were frugal and hardworking when they were poor, but once they became top scholars in the imperial examinations and entered officialdom, they gradually changed their original intentions.
Before officially becoming an official, he was righteous and awe-inspiring, but after becoming an official, he began to amass wealth and oppress the people.
And honest officials—
They never end up with a good ending.
In his previous life, Tang San didn't understand the reasons behind it and could only lament the state of the world. But now, after listening to Zhou Qing's description, he suddenly realized the key to it.
That is, once you enter that invisible and intangible system of rules, you need to become a maintainer of those rules and systems, otherwise you will be an enemy of everyone in that system and those rules.
That would naturally lead to rejection, and could even put one's life in danger!
The officialdom is dangerous! Do not enter!
Suddenly, this idea popped into Tang San's mind.
But then another problem arose.
Without immersing himself in the community and building connections, can he truly rebuild the Tang Sect in the Douluo Continent?
Just as Zhou Qing said, the cakes of the Two Great Empires, Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire, have already been divided up. If they want to get a share, they naturally have to enter this system; otherwise, they won't even get a scrap.
But once inside—
Tang San felt an innate aversion to it.
Regardless of other reasons, the main reason is that Tang San's heart is proud and aloof.
Well, although he dared to steal the Tang Sect Secret Arts, he ultimately devoted all his efforts to creating the long-lost Buddha Fury Tang Lotus for the Tang Sect, and jumped off a cliff to prove his resolve... Regardless of whether his final jump was out of necessity, he considered himself to be noble.
Now, having been reborn, much like a reformed prostitute, she naturally wants to distance herself from all the immoral things she did in the past, especially since those were things from her previous life.
Therefore, a hint of confusion appeared in Tang San's eyes.
However, Tang San was also quite moved, because Zhou Qing had actually asked him to remind him, or even wake him up, at some point in the future when he was caught up in something...
At the very least, I absolutely must live up to Zhou Qing's trust!
Tang San's gaze hardened!
True friends are hard to come by!
Moreover—
Friend!
Brother!
Loyalty!
More important than the Tang Sect!
"That's right, that's the reason." Zhou Qing looked at his hands and suddenly burst into laughter. "How should I put it? Too much talent has actually caused us this kind of trouble."
"Get lost!" Tang San snapped out of his daze and laughed. "Let's focus on the present. We're still just Soul Master, not even Soul Grandmaster yet."
That's absolutely true.
But Zhou Qing felt that as Transmigrator, he should have a higher goal, a goal other than cultivation. Otherwise, he would always feel like a puppet of his Martial Soul, with everything revolving around the cultivation of his Martial Soul, which would make his life too boring.
"I'm leaving." Tang San suddenly stood up.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Qing asked curiously. "In the past, when you came back from blacksmithing, didn't you always discuss the description of the Soul Guidance Core Array with me, and spar with me to improve our skills in direct combat?"
"Go back to the Blacksmith Shop to forge iron."
"Didn't you get off work?"
"It suddenly occurred to me that a certain guest might really need that weapon. I need to finish it quickly, and besides, this is also a challenge for my own forging skills." Tang San walked out of the Library, waving to Zhou Qing without turning back.
"Perhaps? Is it very important?"
Zhou Qing suspected that Tang San might have befriended a Soul Master from out of town who had come to Nuoding City, so he decided to go and check it out. After all, Nuoding City was now a mixed bag, and there might be some seemingly ordinary Soul Master who were actually members of powerful families. "How important is it?"
"Are you going to forge iron too?" Tang San didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile when he saw Zhou Qing following him.
"That's right."
Zhou Qing nodded. "My First Soul Skill, Yongchun, is a fist technique that even utilizes the Bloodline Power. However, I am not quite clear about the essence of Qi and Blood. But at the moment of punching, I can feel that the cells in my whole body are trembling, so it may be related to 'vibration'."
"As for blacksmithing, the process of hammering iron blocks, I think it involves using the power of vibration, combined with high temperature, to remove impurities or crush them into smaller pieces. Different blacksmithing techniques have different efficiencies, but ultimately, they all involve vibration."
"So, give it a try; you might just find a way to apply what you've learned to other areas."
Tang San was extremely surprised.
I thought Zhou Qing was just curious about the guest he mentioned and planned to find a reason to go and take a look, but I didn't expect that he would be able to explain the essence of forging iron blocks.
That's truly amazing!
at the same time.
Xiao Wu accepted a quest from the Nuoding Guild to introduce Nuoding City to a wealthy young lady from out of town.
"Hello, I am the adventurer who accepted your mission, Xiao Wu. You can call me Sister Xiao Wu."
Xiao Wu found the "young lady" who issued the quest at the Nuoding Inn, not far from the Nuoding Guild.
Beside this young lady was a maid whose Soul Power fluctuations definitely exceeded level 40!
[To have a Soul Ancestor protecting her, this young lady is really something.]
Xiao Wu's personality, though a bit combative, is not stupid. However, she doesn't try to hide her personality. With her hands on her hips, she glances at the six-year-old but already quite large mountain range and can't help but secretly envy her—when will she grow up to be as big as her?
"I'm sorry, we hope that the person who accepts the mission is a mature Soul Master, not a twelve-year-old girl like you," the servant said.
"Twelve years old? You guys are really judging people by their appearance!" Xiao Wu said indignantly.
"Um, sorry, I didn't mean that, it's just..."
"I'm only six years old!"
After Xiao Wu revealed her true human age, both the young lady and the servant were surprised.
Both of them were surprised that Xiao Wu, who was only six years old, could grow so tall.
"You're already Soul Master?" the young lady asked in shock.
"Of course! Otherwise, how would I accept the Nuoding Guild's mission?" Xiao Wu put one hand on her hip, beaming with pride, and patted the young lady's head with the other. "What level is your Soul Power?"
"Level nine, very close to level ten, about to obtain my First Spirit Ring." The young lady briefly explained her situation, then Human Dao, "This one will do."
"Okay, then."
The servant had no choice but to agree.
