Tang Hao could not make sense of it either and planned to investigate it after the fact.
But if he really discovered that this Golden Finger only worked on Transmigrators...
"Wouldn't that mean I can only farm monsters off my own son from now on?"
Tang Hao looked speechless.
This Golden Finger was a little too pathetic.
After all, where could this world possibly have so many Transmigrators?
Perhaps there was one in Spirit Hall. Hu Liena's status was unusual, so she was very likely a Transmigrator herself.
But aside from that, the only Transmigrators left on Douluo Continent were him and Tang San.
He could not exactly swing a hammer at Tang San, could he?
"Sigh, I hope it isn't like that."
"Otherwise, my Golden Finger isn't even as good as Dugu Aotian's old grandpa Golden Finger."
Although Dugu Aotian's old grandpa Golden Finger was ancient, and judging by how things had ended, it was the ultra-ancient kind where the old grandpa harbored ill intentions.
Still, it was better than a Golden Finger that only worked on Transmigrators.
Not to mention anything else, the knowledge that old grandpa possessed alone was enough to let someone defy fate and be reborn anew.
And the way that old grandpa had addressed him as "fellow Daoist" before dying also showed that he came from a world of immortal cultivation.
"Immortal cultivation... what an enticing term."
Tang Hao let out a long breath, then shook his head with a laugh. Of course, immortal cultivation was stronger than Martial Soul cultivation.
But the man was already dead by his hand, so dwelling on it any longer was pointless.
He might as well plant his feet firmly where he stood, stay grounded, and eat whatever he had.
"Besides, the light orb I got from Elder Hui isn't bad either. It actually gave me a Dragon Transformation Secret Method."
"It's just that the way it's used is a little strange."
As he spoke, Tang Hao tossed the light orb into his mouth. His teeth crunched shut, and he swallowed it whole.
It tasted like pork. Not especially fragrant.
But after he finished eating it, a Dragon Transformation Secret Method composed of golden Dao text appeared out of nowhere in his mind.
Every word contained profound mysteries. With just a brief glance, he had already grasped more than half of the secret method.
He could now directly circulate the Dragon Transformation Secret Method.
Only...
"This Dragon Transformation Secret Method actually wants me to devour people?"
Tang Hao's expression darkened, and he immediately felt even more disgusted toward that Thousand Poison Flood Dragon.
Dragon Transformation, Dragon Transformation—naturally, it required immense energy to support an ordinary little snake as it shed its mortal body and leaped into becoming a dragon.
And that energy had to come from humans!
Humans were the spirits of all things, where the essence of heaven and earth gathered.
They were born as great medicine. Once consumed through the Dragon Transformation Secret Method, they became medicine among medicines!
Merely tens of thousands were needed to become a flood dragon, while hundreds of millions could even transform one into a dragon!
This was the shortcut most revered and strongly recommended by the Dao text of the Dragon Transformation Secret Method.
But to Tang Hao, those words were nothing but utter nonsense!
Demonic ravings!
Something he would absolutely never do.
Fortunately, besides the shortcut of devouring people, the secret method also offered a proper path.
That was to consume all kinds of heavenly treasures and use the Dragon Transformation Grinding Mill to grind them down and absorb the spirituality within.
This could also slowly strengthen one's essence, qi, and spirit.
Applied to Douluo Continent, it meant slowly evolving one's Martial Soul while making one's physical body increasingly powerful.
Dugu Aotian had probably intended to take this path, which was why he had gathered so many heavenly treasures.
Unfortunately, this method was Water Grinding Kung Fu. It could not be rushed, and its demands on resources were enormous.
For example, Tang Hao calculated in his heart that if he wanted his body to reach the level described in the Becoming Flood Dragon chapter.
He would probably have to eat this entire continent before it was even possible.
As for the later "Dragon Transformation" realm that could pluck stars and shift moons, even eating this entire world might not be enough.
Tang Hao's mouth twitched speechlessly.
This Dragon Transformation Secret Method was simply far too resource-intensive.
As the Clear Sky Douluo of the number one sect in the world, he was practically a small household. He simply could not afford to raise it.
Still, it was fine. He was not greedy. As long as it could let him cultivate to a level comparable to a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, that would be enough.
After all, he was already a Level 95 Titled Douluo. He was not that far from Level 99.
Just ninety-nine Titled Douluos away.
If he worked hard enough, he could still dream about it in his dreams.
After setting aside the Dragon Transformation Secret Method, Tang Hao waved his hand and carefully stored away the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone first. It was his Wife's relic, so he had to treat it with proper solemnity.
Then he casually tossed the final Thousand Year Soul Bone into his Storage Soul Tool.
The Soul Bone's age was far too pathetic. He had no intention of absorbing and fusing it at all.
He did not even intend to fuse the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
There was no helping it. The places in his body that could hold Soul Bones were all full.
Completely packed, leaving him no room for adjustment.
So Tang Hao planned to use that Thousand Year Soul Bone to feed the Dragon Transformation Secret Method and strengthen his soul and body.
Tang Hao even planned to handle any Soul Bones he obtained in the future the same way.
After all, Deep Sea Sinking Silver Mother was a heavenly treasure, and Soul Bones counted as heavenly treasures too, right?
And they contained even more energy.
They were very suitable as nourishment for the Dragon Transformation Secret Method.
After properly dealing with all the spoils of battle, Tang Hao raised his hand and looked at his rough palm. Only then did he have the chance to reflect on his experience of killing someone.
Killing someone—
He felt nothing.
It was like killing a chicken.
He could not even force himself to vomit.
"Transmigration and body possession have ultimately affected me."
Tang Hao murmured. Whether it was the killing intent he felt when he first saw the Blue Silver Emperor being stolen, or the lack of feeling when he killed someone afterward.
Both were influenced by the original memories.
Even though he now felt that his actions and will were guided by himself.
Guided by the consciousness of a seasoned Corporate Slave from a peaceful and prosperous era, one who had worked without complaint.
There was still an influence.
Only...
He thought it was not bad.
"After all, who would want to be a Corporate Slave?"
Tang Hao chuckled, lowered his hand, and sat cross-legged on the ground to begin meditating.
He quietly waited for his strength to return in three days!
The Poison Douluo's palace, deep into the night.
Dazzling Soul Guiding Lamps illuminated the entire palace as brightly as day. Dugu Bo sat in his cultivation chamber, reading the news that his Disciple had been killed.
"Tang Hao?" Dugu Bo frowned.
His Disciple had been killed by Tang Hao?
And they had even fought back and forth?
But how was that possible?
He had discovered that Disciple while returning to his clan to oversee the awakening of Martial Souls. The boy had been an Unpolished Jade.
Appreciating his talent of Innate Full Soul Power, he had accepted him as his Disciple.
He had even bestowed his Poison King Scripture upon him.
But later, he discovered that the Disciple he had taken in carried great secrets and seemed to know many things from birth.
Moreover, there was a faint arrogance in the way he treated Dugu Bo, as if even a Titled Douluo was nothing in his eyes.
Out of caution, Dugu Bo gave him a Thousand Year Soul Bone to suppress his future.
He also seized all those Immortal Herbs, leaving him only gentle Immortal Herbs like Nine Grade Purple Ganoderma, which were of little use for Martial Soul Evolution.
