Tang San Confidently Studies Soul-Guidance Devices

Do I look like a compassionate saint?

Arthur inwardly grumbled helplessly. He simply couldn't understand why, out of so many gods in the Divine Realm, the Godess of Kindness had chosen him, a knight who was more accustomed to speaking with a sword and shield.

After a moment's deliberation, Arthur made an absolutely correct decision—to subcontract the work.

He picked up the document, turned around, and found Dongfang Jing.

"Mirror." Arthur handed over the document, his tone serious. "His Holiness the Pope has entrusted me with the task of deciding how to handle these prisoners. I am currently preoccupied with my divine examinations and may find it difficult to attend to this matter. This is of utmost importance to the stability of the Empire, so I entrust it entirely to you."

Dongfang Jing raised her cool eyes, glanced at the thick file, then at Arthur, who looked utterly dejected, and without saying anything, silently accepted it.

She also knew that Arthur was facing a double attack from the Summoner and the Godess of Kindness, two eccentric lunatics, which was truly difficult for him.

After learning about Arthur's divine test, Dongfang Jing, who prided himself on his strength, couldn't help but feel fortunate that the Space God chose him was a sane deity.

Arthur watched as Dongfang Jing accepted the task, and breathed a slight sigh of relief. As he turned to leave, he was still silently cursing the Godess of Kindness who had set his sights on him.

Chapter 279 Tang San Confident in Researching Soul Tool

The Godess of Kindness believes that in this world, only the power of love is invincible. The power of love is infinite and also the most elusive. Neither humans nor gods can change the direction of true love.

She also advocated that one must endure hardship to rise above others, and that the sweetness that comes after suffering is the most beautiful thing, sometimes even more ruthless than the Evil God.

Yearning for freedom, she voluntarily made a bet with the Evil God. After winning the bet, she and the Evil God handed over their divine positions to someone else temporarily, and then they were entangled in a love affair for countless lifetimes in the mortal realm.

They messed things up during reincarnation, got into trouble and were in danger, and Ji Dong and Lie Yan, who were temporarily in charge of the gods, had to rush over to cover for them...

Although his divine authority is that of Godess of Kindness, his actions are more akin to those of a chaotic faction.

In terms of logical thinking, he's a madman no less than Qian Xunji, only he hides it extremely well.

Arthur's first attempt at the divine trial, which was originally a very simple task of killing Soul Beast and saving villagers, became extremely complicated under the demands of the Godess of Kindness.

Because the Godess of Kindness hopes that the villagers, having experienced hardship, will cherish the present goodness even more and understand the preciousness of life. Of course, it would be even better if they had a spirit of selflessness and could sacrifice themselves for others...

In short, we must save lives, but we must also make appropriate sacrifices!

We need to test whether these villagers Goddess of Kindness and worthy of being saved. Only the flowers of Goddess of Kindness and love that bloom amidst suffering are the most beautiful.

Of course, this is also a test for Arthur, to see if he is loving Goddess of Kindness enough, and how he will choose between the life and death of the gods and the villagers...

Arthur just wanted to give this guy a Victory Contract sword.

Oh, and the Godess of Kindness also wants to help Arthur fall in love so he can experience the beauty of love.

······························

Sometimes, when Arthur compares the Godess of Kindness and Qian Xunji, he can't tell who's really out of their mind.

However, with Arthur as a control group, the other heroes felt that they had accepted the content of their divine test quite well.

After all, happiness is relative.

Meanwhile, after drifting at sea for an unknown amount of time, relying on a makeshift "oar" woven from Blue Silver Grass and a tenacious will to survive, Tang San finally set foot on the long-lost land, looking utterly disheveled.

The voyage yielded no results, leaving Tang San exhausted and dejected.

Sea God Island has already been occupied by the Spirit Hall. Furthermore, he also learned from several captured Poseidon Sea Soul Master Sea Soul Master that some of them had already obtained the Sea God's Nine Trials.

Over the years, he had tried to find the lineage of other deities, but to no avail.

Now, the only thing he can grasp is that God of Evil and corrupt Rakshasa God's Trial.

However, the next test he faced sank to the bottom – hunting down and devouring a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Master.

In Tang San's view, this task was even more difficult than hunting the million-year-old Soul Beast, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is a divine-level martial Martial Soul passed down through the Qian Clan the Spirit Hall, and its power is beyond doubt.

What's even more despairing is that those who possess this Martial Soul are protected by powerful figures at the Titled Douluo level from a young age, and spend most of their time living in the Pope Palace or the Worship Hall in the core of Spirit City. That is the absolute core of the Spirit Hall's power and strength, and a group of Super Douluo- level worshippers live around it!

This is also why Tang San, even though he hated the Spirit Hall to the core, never set his sights on the Six-Winged Angel Soul Master —the risk was too great, and the success rate was almost zero.

But now, he has no way out, no other choice. The Rakshasa God's Trial is his only path, and he must complete it.

After endless entanglement and struggle, Tang San set his sights on Qian Xunji, one of the three.

In his mind, Qian Daoliu, Level 99 Limit Douluo, possessed divine power and his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was fully awakened. He was the strongest person below the gods in the world, practically invincible. To assassinate him would be tantamount to suicide.

Although Qian Renxue is relatively young, she is currently undergoing the Angel God Trial and is deeply bound to Qian Daoliu. To harm her would inevitably attract Qian Daoliu, and there would be no chance of success.

In comparison, Qian Xunji seems to be the "best" choice.

However...

Assassinating the founding emperor of the Spirit Hall Empire, Qian Xunji?

The thought itself is enough to suffocate and despair anyone.

This is something that countless forces and powerful individuals dream of achieving, yet cannot!

Even someone as proud as Tang San, after experiencing a series of heavy blows such as being wanted by the Spirit Hall and having his Sea God Inheritance severed, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of despair welling up inside him when faced with this almost impossible goal.

Upon returning to the mainland, Tang San was still like a rat in the gutter, wearing a tattered cloak and sneaking in the shadows, not daring to linger in any town.

On the Spirit Hall Empire's wanted list, his portrait always hung at the top, his position so "stable" it was despair-inducing.

His face is now "a household name," but only because of his status as a top-priority criminal.

After enduring wind and rain, avoiding all official roads and patrols, Tang San finally arrived at a secret base of the Star Luo Empire Restoration Organization hidden deep in the mountains and forests.

He had previously managed to contact his aunt, Tang Yuehua, through a special channel left behind by the Moonlight Pavilion, and was able to join the organization through her introduction. Even so, Tang San still carefully concealed his face and true identity, and did not reveal that he was Tang Hao's son.

He knew very well that the identity of being the son of Clear Sky Douluo was not a shield nowadays, but could instead attract suspicion or even greater danger.

Tang Yuehua's situation within the organization was already difficult; she herself was walking on thin ice, and the protection and convenience she could provide for Tang San were extremely limited.

Tang San initially joined this restoration organization after hearing that they had planned a prison break in Spirit City. He held onto a sliver of hope that he might be able to contact Dai Mubai.

In his mind, if Dai Mubai were rescued, with his status as the prince of the Star Luo Empire and his own talent and strength, he would definitely be able to have a place in the restoration organization.

However, after joining, he learned the cruel truth: Dai Mubai had already died in the chaos at the very beginning of the prison break operation.

Now, the core and hope of the restoration organization rests entirely on a genius young man named Pei Qinhu.

Upon hearing the news of his good brother's death, Tang San was only saddened for a moment before suppressing his emotions and leaving the base.

Now that he's back, his goal is clear and insane—to assassinate Qian Xunji!

He knew he could not succeed on his own and needed the help of the organization, even if it was just to create chaos and attract attention.

With his Soul Douluo -level strength, which he forcibly increased through devouring others, Tang San is indeed a rare expert in this restoration organization where the average strength is not top-notch.

Coupled with his "deep-seated hatred" for the Spirit Hall and his positive "ambition," he quickly stood out and gradually came into contact with the organization's core.

Consequently, Tang Yuehua, who had introduced him to the company, also saw her status rise and her situation improve considerably.

However, just when he was noticed by a powerful general within the organization and taken in as a capable subordinate, and his future seemed bright, a piece of information he learned by chance caused Tang San's mentality to instantly become unbalanced.

During a private meeting among high-ranking officials, he was shocked to learn that Pei Qinhu, the successor on whom the organization had placed great hopes, actually possessed the Divine Test of the God of Fire God!

The words "Divine Test" were like the sharpest needle, piercing the most sensitive and resentful corner of Tang San's heart.

In his previous life, Tang San, who was a God King, did not take a mere Level One Fire God position seriously.

But things are different now!

For the sake of power, he fell into depravity, murdered his master, and betrayed his faith, enduring endless pain and torment as he painstakingly undertook the God of Evil and stingy Rakshasa God's Trial.

And what merits did Pei Qinhu possess to gain the favor of the God of Fire God?!

A burning jealousy, resentment, and bitterness almost overwhelmed Tang San's reason.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, barely managing to maintain a semblance of calm and avoid losing his composure on the spot.

On what grounds?

Why is it that Tang San's fate is so unfortunate, filled with hardships and suffering, yet he never gets what he desires, while others can easily obtain the opportunities he dreams of?

At this moment, jealousy towards Pei Qinhu even temporarily outweighed hatred towards the Spirit Hall.

A chilling glint flashed in his eyes as he looked in Pei Qinhu's direction.

·····································

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. Everyone's gaze was involuntarily focused on the main seat—where sat a young man. He was tall and straight, and although his face appeared somewhat youthful compared to the group of middle-aged people around him, he already possessed an undeniable air of authority.

What is most striking is his unique hair color, half of which is a bright orange like burning flames, and the other half is a calm, jet-black color. The contrast is striking. He is wearing light armor with black and gold stripes, and there is a faint flow of scorching energy around him. Just by sitting there, he shines brightly and becomes the absolute core of the entire hall.

To his left were the few remaining Titled Douluo retainers of the Star Luo Royal Family family, as well as numerous powerful dukes, Earl, ministers, and military generals. Almost all of the remaining high-ranking forces of the Star Luo Empire were gathered here.

Behind him, a woman with black hair, a mask, and a slender figure stood quietly to the side, her aura completely concealed, as if she had merged with the shadows, making people subconsciously ignore her presence.

Despite not being the strongest, the Grand Duke of Youming holds a relatively high position due to his family's generations of marriage alliances with the royal family and his possession of Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The meeting was focused on the most critical issue—how to counter the Spirit Hall Empire's absolute advantage in military equipment, especially the standard Soul Tool that had become widespread.

"Unlike Heaven Dou Empire, which blindly purchases and is controlled by others, we must master our own Soul Tool technology!" A minister in charge of military industry said excitedly. "Our research team has been trying to crack and imitate it, but... the Soul Tool structure of the Spirit Hall Empire is extremely complex, and the encryption methods for the core patterns are superb. In addition, our research laboratory location has been exposed time and time again, forcing us to relocate frequently, so the research progress... is really slow."

Upon hearing this, a shadow fell over everyone's faces. They all knew that not being able to produce Soul Tool themselves meant either purchasing them at exorbitant prices with huge sums of money, or having to use more blood and lives on the battlefield to fill this enormous gap.

Just then, Tang San, who was standing at the end of the main hall with a border general, heard this and his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

Soul Tool? Hacking? Manufacturing

This was practically a field tailor-made for him! In his previous life, he was a disciple of the Tang Sect, proficient in various mechanisms Hidden Weapon, poisons, and pharmacology, possessing an understanding and talent for intricate structures far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Having crafted top-tier Hidden Weapon such as the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus and the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, he was confident that no one in the world could surpass him in the art of weaponry!

To him, these mere Soul Tool were nothing more than another form of "Hidden Weapon"! Deciphering them was a piece of cake!

He immediately suppressed his excitement, turned slightly to the side, and whispered a few words quickly in the ear of the general who was following him.

The general was initially somewhat doubtful, but as Tang San recounted the story, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his breathing became rapid.

He turned his head sharply, looking at Tang San in disbelief, and lowered his voice to confirm, "Are you serious? Are you really sure?"

Tang San bowed slightly, his tone filled with unquestionable confidence. "General, you are wise. How dare I speak recklessly on such a matter of national importance? I do have some expertise in weaponry and am willing to serve the Empire!"

Looking at Tang San's calm and confident eyes, the general was already seven or eight parts convinced.

He knew this man to be calm and composed, never doing anything without a certainty. The empire was in dire need of such talent, so it was worth a try no matter what!

Having considered this, the general no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath and addressed the young man in the main seat and everyone present, saying loudly, "Your Highness, esteemed officials! I have a prodigy under my command named Tang Yin, who is highly accomplished in the art of Soul Tool and mechanical devices! He is confident that he can decipher the secrets of the Spirit Hall Empire's Soul Tool and replicate or even innovate them for our Star Luo Empire..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their attention to him!
