"Tang San might've had a side hustle in the past."
"Wouldn't surprise me. After all, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was stolen. If he could steal, he could rob, too."
Everyone buzzed with discussion, all talking about Tang San.
Tang San was so ashamed he could barely bear it, because what they said was true.
In his previous life, he'd been broke, and researching Tang Sect Hidden Weapons had cost a fortune in iron and other materials.
He'd done plenty of kidnapping for ransom and robbery. The only thing he could be proud of was that he never killed his hostages unless he had no other choice. He was a man with principles.
The Live Broadcast Room continued.
[Tang San took Ning Rongrong's Storage Soul Tool. Facing the unconscious Ning Rongrong, he had no other thoughts and barely even looked at her. He only thought that her figure wasn't as good as Zhu Zhuqing's, and if he was going to fixate on someone, he might as well fixate on Zhu Zhuqing.]
Of course, more importantly, Tang Buddha had principles and cared a great deal about his reputation. He already had Xiao Wu, so why would he fixate on anyone else?
But the Live Broadcast Room didn't say so outright. The reason was not something to be discussed with outsiders.
Tang San's face flushed red as he hurriedly explained, "That's slander! This is absolutely slander. How could I possibly be interested in Rongrong?"
Ning Rongrong couldn't take it anymore.
She didn't care about being robbed. She was rich, after all. But being told she wasn't as good as Zhu Zhuqing bothered her a little.
What girl wanted to be inferior to someone else?
Beside them, the eldest of the Soul Saint Brothers drawled, "So, it seems the robbery really happened?"
Tang San: "..."
How had he forgotten something so important? He absolutely couldn't admit it.
"Fake. It's all fake. I'd never rob anyone. I'm an upstanding person. How could I rob Rongrong?"
Dai Mubai's eyes were full of wariness. No way—Tang San was interested in Zhu Zhuqing and thought she had a great figure.
He'd have to be careful. Even if he and Zhu Zhuqing quarreled, he absolutely couldn't let Tang San have her.
He cared a great deal about keeping his hat, too.
Tang San noticed Dai Mubai's expression and hurriedly explained again, "I'm not interested in Zhu Zhuqing either. We're brothers, after all. A brother's wife is fair game."
Uh, that sounded wrong.
Dai Mubai grew even more wary.
Zhu Zhuqing was very unhappy about this and protested, "Dai Mubai and I have nothing to do with each other. He's had over a hundred women. One more or one less makes no difference to him. There's no chance for us anymore."
Dai Mubai's expression darkened at her words. Zhu Zhuqing was really giving him no face.
Leaving the facts aside, was Zhu Zhuqing blameless? Otherwise, why would he have looked for women elsewhere?
The Live Broadcast Room had casually said just one thing, and it had already driven a wedge between the Shrek Seven Devils. Yet they didn't dare argue with the Live Broadcast Room.
To oppose the Live Broadcast Room would be a huge mistake. It would surely strike back hard.
[Just as Tang San robbed Ning Rongrong and prepared to continue researching Battle Armor, Ye Tianyun shifted his focus to Artificial Soul Bones.]
[Although he possessed an Evil Eye Spirit Bone and had extraordinary spiritual power, Ye Tianyun could sense how difficult the mysteries of Spirit Bones were to uncover. For the first time, he felt frustrated.]
Tang San, who'd been feeling dejected, was instantly full of confidence again. His back even straightened of its own accord.
Just look—even Ye Tianyun had things he couldn't handle.
"Sure enough, Ye Tianyun still falls short. Researching the mysteries of Spirit Bones and creating Artificial Soul Bones is practically impossible."
Tang San spoke with force and conviction.
Whether it was possible didn't matter. The important thing was that he'd failed at researching Battle Armor, so Ye Tianyun couldn't succeed either. Otherwise, wouldn't that make Ye Tianyun look better than him?
Yu Xiaogang was happy from the bottom of his heart. The Live Broadcast Room had been putting them down while lifting Ye Tianyun up.
Liu Erlong, however, furrowed her brow and said, "I don't think it's that simple. If the Live Broadcast Room praised him, he must have some exceptional qualities."
Yu Xiaogang was displeased. Why praise Ye Tianyun?
Sure enough, the Live Broadcast Room changed its tune.
[Although Ye Tianyun hadn't uncovered the mysteries of Spirit Bones, he realized that the reason he couldn't make progress was that he didn't have a genuine Spirit Bone.]
[Even though he had bones from ordinary Spirit Beasts, they were just ordinary bones.]
[He did possess an Evil Eye Spirit Bone, but his spiritual power wasn't strong enough to probe its inner mysteries. To research Spirit Bones, he first had to improve his spiritual power.]
[So Ye Tianyun wanted to create a method for improving spiritual power, so he could use it to research Spirit Bones.]
Tang San was stunned.
"Wait, you can create a cultivation method for spiritual power, too?"
He didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't help believing it. The Live Broadcast Room had shown it, after all, and Ye Tianyun would most likely succeed.
"No. I've been in Douluo Continent for so long and read countless records. Aside from Spirit Beasts with spiritual power and Martial Souls with spiritual power, no one can cultivate spiritual power."
Yu Xiaogang didn't want to believe it, even trying to deceive himself.
He, the Grandmaster, couldn't do it. What made Ye Tianyun think he could? Just because Ye Tianyun was a transmigrator? Did being a transmigrator make him so special?
Ye Tianyun and Tang San both had the same answer: transmigrators really were that special.
The Live Broadcast Room continued.
[Ye Tianyun racked his brains and finally thought of visualization: by visualizing an object, he could improve his spiritual power.]
[Once he'd settled on a direction, Ye Tianyun spent every night gazing at all things in the universe and looking up at the stars, visualizing them day after day.]
[On the very first night, he successfully entered a state of meditation and took his first step in the visualization method. Gradually, he began to condense his spiritual power.]
????
Tang San was once again left with a head full of question marks.
"Wait, is this kid Ye Tianyun cheating? How can someone be so outstanding? He entered a state of meditation in one night?"
He hadn't heard of visualization in his previous life, but he knew about entering a state of meditation. It was essential for cultivation.
When he'd first started cultivating, it had taken him more than two months to calm his mind and enter a state of meditation. He'd even thought himself a genius for it.
But compared to Ye Tianyun, he was truly taking a hit.
What did it mean to be a genius? This was what a genius looked like.
[Over the next half-month, Ye Tianyun successfully formed a Star Dharma Image in his mind, laying the foundation for the Star Contemplation Method.]
[As long as he entered a state of meditation, the Star Dharma Image in his mind would grow more and more solid, thereby improving his spiritual power.]
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's expression was grave. As a successor to a god's legacy, she naturally understood how important spiritual power was.
Unfortunately, aside from forcing one's way into Slaughter City and using killing intent to condense spiritual power, Douluo Continent had no other methods—let alone a dedicated visualization method.
If Spirit Hall had a visualization method, it would surely strengthen its foundations.
The more Bibi Dong thought about it, the more eager she became. She fixed her gaze on the Platinum Bishop, the genius scholar below.
"Everyone, regarding the visualization method..."
"Your Holiness, this subordinate can't do it."
The people below all knelt to confess their failure.
They truly couldn't do it. Their abilities were limited. If they had the skill, they would certainly create a visualization method and improve their own strength.
Bibi Dong: "..."
That was that, then. The gap between people was truly immense.
