Tang San's Advice! The Relationship Between Battle Armor and Divine Gear?

"Just as I thought."

"That student Jiang Yan's strength was something even you, Old Tang, found impossible to predict. He was clearly unbeatable."

Seeing how slow Old Tang was to respond, Tang Wulin sighed. His clear eyes seemed to have been clouded by a layer of haze.

If he had never seen such a genius, perhaps he could still foolishly and recklessly dream of becoming strong. But now...

His Innate Soul Power was only level three.

Not to mention Jiang Yan himself, even among those weaker Class One students, how many could he compare to?

Could he really reach the other shore in this life?

"Those geniuses from Class One will surely become Soul Douluos in the future, perhaps even Titled Douluos, while I..."

"It seems I can't do anything at all."

Tang Wulin murmured, his face filled with confusion.

"..."

Within the sea of consciousness, Tang San remained silent for a moment.

Don't rush. He was thinking.

Because it seemed his son had not said a single thing wrong.

His martial soul bloodline was weak, and the Golden Dragon King seal was a double-edged sword. Given the current situation, compared to becoming strong, perhaps the greater concern should be whether he could even survive...

Only by surviving could he have the possibility of thinking about the future.

"Wulin."

"Next, I'll tell you in the most sincere, direct, and reliable way possible: with your potential, along with the power of the bloodline within you, becoming the strongest Titled Douluo in the future will not be a problem."

In the end, Tang San thought for two and a half seconds before responding.

There was not a trace of falsehood in his words. After all, with the abilities of the Golden Dragon King bloodline, becoming supremely powerful only required time.

"I understand, Old Tang, but..."

"What if we don't count my potential?"

"What about only the bloodline power within me?"

Tang Wulin nodded thoughtfully, then seemed to think of something and could not help asking.

Old Tang had told him that the Golden Dragon King bloodline sealed within him was the strongest beast bloodline in the world, and that it was the key to his future strength.

If he did not have the Blue Silver Grass martial soul and only possessed this pure bloodline, what then?

"Mm..."

Tang San said nothing.

A second round of brainstorming began in his mind.

He had realized that his son was quite the stickler!

"Though Blue Silver Grass is recognized across the continent as a trash martial soul, as the saying goes—there are no trash martial souls, only trash Soul Masters! Once you cultivate to the peak, you will naturally become a formidable powerhouse as well."

"All you need to do is wait!"

Slowly, Tang San spoke in a serious tone.

"Really?"

"Alright, alright!"

Tang Wulin was someone who listened to advice. With those words from the old senior, he immediately nodded in agreement, his heart filled with anticipation.

Old Tang was no ordinary person. He did not even know whether Old Tang was human. Since even he said so, what was there for him to worry about?

Old Tang, I believe in you!

"..."

Watching Tang Wulin regain his vitality, Tang San sighed in relief, thinking that he had finally managed to bluff him through it.

There were no trash martial souls, only trash Soul Masters. This was a widely circulated piece of inspirational nonsense, but if anyone truly believed it, it was probably only Xiaogang...

Mm, that was to say, his former teacher, Yu Xiaogang, the Three Cannons Douluo whom later generations respectfully called the "Divine Master."

A trash martial soul was finished from the very moment it awakened, especially Blue Silver Grass. It was a martial soul with no advantages to speak of, and could even be said to have no benefits whatsoever.

When his own martial soul had awakened, his father Tang Hao had cast it a dead-eyed glance and ignored it completely. Only upon seeing the Clear Sky Hammer had he been given the opportunity to enter a Soul Master Academy.

Even back then, the reason he had become powerful was actually because he had awakened with [Innate Full Soul Power].

At that time, there were fewer than five people with Innate Full Soul Power. Thanks to that potential, along with the Tang Sect's secret arts, he had become famous across the continent while still a youth!

And Wulin, whose Innate Soul Power was only level three...

Tang San smiled.

"Only by enduring the bitterest hardships can one rise above others!"

"My good son, until your grandfather and grandmother find you, just keep suffering for now."

Once his parents found Wulin, he would naturally have access to whatever resources he wanted. But before then...

My Tang Family's chosen child.

Please wait a little longer.

Resources, heavenly treasures, soul rings, and soul bones would all be available in abundance!

What the Tang Family lacked least was heritage!

"..."

"What is this child muttering about?"

"He's acting all mysterious. Just as my lord said, there is more to him than meets the eye. He truly isn't simple!"

Within Eastsea Academy, Di Tian, disguised as a teacher and wearing a blue baseball cap, happened to pass by. His black eyes swept toward Tang Wulin and took in the changes in his expression from earlier.

He really was a simple human hatchling.

His expression management still needed work!

"What a foolish child of the Tang Family."

"At nine years old, he's only level fourteen. My lord was already level thirty-four at that age, hmph..."

Di Tian's eyes showed undisguised contempt, accompanied by equally undiminished, crystalline killing intent.

The present was the present, and the future was the future. So what if Tang Wulin was weak right now? He was still the son of a God King.

Given time, once his family genes awakened and his Blue Silver Grass martial soul transformed into the Blue Silver Emperor, even if he could not become a scourge like Tang San, he might very well become a second Dai Yuhao!

"And the Golden Dragon King bloodline within him."

"Does that belong to his Tang Family? It belongs to my lord! The Tang Family is evil by nature, and they have already earned their deaths!"

A crimson gleam flashed through Di Tian's eyes before he calmed down again. It was not yet time to act rashly.

The arrangements left behind by a god were not something he could easily contend against.

Moreover, his lord had said to let him choose the most suitable opportunity to test the waters with the two goddesses. He could afford to wait.

"Just you wait, you Tang Family brat, evil by nature. I will make sure you never return!"

Di Tian's figure flashed. He took a step back, and his body abruptly vanished from where he stood. Yet his powerful control over space left a deep imprint throughout the entire dormitory building.

Any disturbance, any opportunity.

He would not miss any of them.

"..."

"With Di Tian watching over Eastsea Academy..."

"All that remains is to wait for an opportunity."

Back at the Jiang family residence.

In his bedroom, Jiang Yan, who had been meditating, received Di Tian's message. After learning that he had infiltrated Eastsea Academy, he opened his eyes, his face showing little emotion.

Tang Wulin, as the third-generation protagonist, was a character whose early and late stages contrasted immensely.

From a youth who dreamed of the stars and the sea to a legendary figure who betrayed his country and stole missiles, the sense of disconnect was unexpectedly profound.

For someone like that, his method of dealing with him was naturally simple...

He would not develop much hostility toward Tang Wulin merely because of matters in the future, but his identity as a member of the Tang Family was already enough to make Jiang Yan target him.

Compared to supporting someone only to risk being stabbed in the back, he naturally would not do anything unnecessary.

Since the other party's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass to begin with, then he could hold onto that blade of grass until he grew old. As for everything else—the Golden Dragon King bloodline and the divine consciousness Tang San had left behind...

He would not let Tang Wulin keep them.

Jiang Yan's gaze swept over Gu Yuena at his side. At that moment, she was quietly cultivating beside him, serene and adorable.

She did not need to split apart as she had in the original story. While retaining her sense of self, she held hopes and plans for the revival of the dragon race.

As her older brother and family.

She was naturally the one he cared about most.

Jiang Yan stopped thinking about it and prepared to continue meditating, but at that moment, a holy voice quietly rang out:

"Young Master, this so-called Battle Armor... if Sister Dong'er and I wore it, do you think it would provide any enhancement?"

It was none other than Qian Renxue.

"Hmm?"

"Sister Xue, why are you suddenly thinking about Battle Armor?"

Hearing what she was talking about, Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised. He chuckled and could not help asking.

Battle Armor was ultimately a product of soul-guidance technology. Could it actually interest old gods from a previous era?

"Mm!"

"We've already finished reading the books you gave us. In this era, Battle Armor Masters seem to be standard among the powerful, and even those [quasi-gods] you mentioned need Battle Armor."

"Battle Armor is divided into four different quality grades, from one-word to four-word. Then there should be divine-grade Battle Armor as well, right?"

Qian Renxue nodded and said with a smile.

Curiosity filled her beautiful face. The things from this new era truly interested her.

A six-ring Soul Emperor wearing Battle Armor could rival a peak Soul Douluo. A seven-ring Soul Sage, empowered by Battle Armor and activating their Martial Soul Avatar, could even contend with a Titled Douluo.

"If divine-grade Battle Armor truly exists..."

"Perhaps..."

"Would wearing it really have an effect on us?"

"..."
