Tang San's Thirst for Knowledge: What Is the Power of a Higher Dimension?

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass possessed the wood attribute!

And the Death Attribute was most effective at countering wood-attributed plants.

If Tang San had taken the life-element path, Li Qinglian would not have had such an easy time.

On the field, Li Qinglian let out a soft breath. The pitch-black tree shadow around him gradually withdrew, and a gust of wind scattered most of the ashes across the ground.

He looked at Tang San, his tone as calm as ever.

"Your Blue Silver Grass is highly resilient—much stronger than I expected."

"Ordinary attacks truly have a hard time cutting through it. Therefore, you can use a considerable number of Blue Silver Grass vines to control your opponents."

Li Qinglian analyzed.

Tang San's approach could not be considered wrong.

For most opponents in this world, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was indeed quite formidable.

Under the restraint of those Blue Silver Grass vines that carried the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, ordinary people would find them difficult to deal with.

Whether they tried to burn them with fire, slice them apart with sharp weapons, or shatter them through brute force, they would have to expend a great deal of energy. Tang San could easily defeat his enemies during that opening.

"But... why did my Blue Silver Grass have no effect on you?"

Tang San's face turned deathly pale.

This was the first time his Blue Silver Grass had performed so poorly.

It had absolutely no combat power at all!

It could not even get close to Li Qinglian, so how could it possibly control him?

"Because... I am in a Higher Dimension."

"A Higher Dimension? How could that be?"

Tang San's pupils contracted. Feeling the deathly aura emanating from Li Qinglian, he understood what the other man meant.

That aura was incredibly powerful.

None of the Soul Masters he had encountered before had ever given him such a feeling!

A Higher Dimension!

In an instant, Tang San's face went pale.

He suddenly understood something.

Every genius he had met—including himself, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong—belonged to the same category.

He and Dai Mubai existed in the same dimension.

Within that same dimension, he was a top-tier genius.

But Li Qinglian was a freak from a Higher Dimension!

But what exactly was a dimension?

"A Higher Dimension?"

Xiao Wu recalled the scene from a long, long time ago, when she had first seen that pitch-black giant tree.

It had only existed for ten thousand years, yet it possessed power that even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts feared!

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai...

Every Soul Master present fell into deep thought upon hearing Li Qinglian's words.

That was right!

Li Qinglian had effortlessly rendered Tang San incapable of fighting.

There had not even been any obvious fluctuations of Soul Power around him!

This kind of crushing victory was definitely not merely the suppression of the strong against the weak.

It was the absolute crushing of a higher dimension over a lower dimension!

But what was a dimension?

What did this dimension represent?

Thinking back to the battle they had just witnessed while listening to Li Qinglian's words, everyone felt that their understanding of martial souls was sorely lacking!

At the very least, they had never heard such a theory before.

In the current world of Soul Masters, the mainstream view was that control-type Soul Masters countered defense-type Soul Masters, agility-attack types countered control types, defense types countered agility-attack types, and power-attack types countered defense types.

Therefore, whether in individual combat or team coordination, all Soul Masters seemed unable to escape this cycle of counters.

But now, they suddenly realized something.

Whether they were control types, power-attack types, agility-attack types, or defense types, they all seemed to be Soul Masters of the same dimension fighting one another.

Li Qinglian had clearly escaped this strange cycle of counters!

"Judging from Li Qinglian's martial soul, whether it is a power-attack type, agility-attack type, control type, or defense type, none seem capable of dealing effective damage to him."

"Could this be a Higher Dimension?"

Ning Rongrong murmured.

Her heart pounded wildly.

She knew this was something neither Bone Grandpa nor Sword Grandpa had ever taught her.

As an auxiliary-type Soul Master, Ning Rongrong's own combat power was almost negligible. Any combat-oriented Soul Master could restrain her.

The Death Divine Tree itself belonged to none of the categories of power attack, agility attack, control, or defense, nor could it be countered by any of them.

The only things capable of threatening Li Qinglian would likewise be the five high-level attributes from the God Realm, or other attributes that could rival them!

Only when attributes existed on the same dimensional level would differing martial soul types create chains of restraint.

But when the attributes were on different dimensional levels, it became the absolute crushing of a high-level attribute over a low-level one!

Absolute crushing! There was no room for any maneuvering!

"Xiao Wu... you seem to know Li Qinglian quite well. Do you know what he means?"

Zhu Zhuqing tugged gently at Xiao Wu's hand and asked in a low voice.

Her talent was the weakest among the Shrek Seven Monsters. She had cultivated to this point entirely through diligence and hard work. For theories she had never studied before, Zhu Zhuqing thirsted for knowledge.

"I don't know either. Perhaps it has something to do with attributes..."

A gleam flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes.

A Higher Dimension!

Perhaps that was why even the ferocious beasts in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest treated Li Qinglian with such respect. When she had seen Li Qinglian appear in the Star Dou Great Forest, Bi Ji had personally come to receive him.

A Higher Dimension...

"This guy definitely took human form because he was aiming for the path to godhood!"

"Only the path to godhood could hold such a fatal attraction for him!"

"And judging from the ferocious beasts' reactions, his chances of success are very high!"

Xiao Wu's eyes glittered.

"Grandfather, did you understand? Why was Tang San's Blue Silver Grass so utterly vulnerable before Li Qinglian..." Meng Yiran tugged at Meng Shu's sleeve.

"I don't understand it, nor do I understand what he said. Perhaps Spirit Hall has come up with some new trick again."

Although Meng Shu did not understand much, he could sense that a gap truly existed between Li Qinglian and Tang San. This was not a gap in cultivation, but a difference in their levels.

The difference was like the gap between a Soul Saint capable of using a Martial Soul Avatar and a Soul Emperor unable to take that step. The distance seemed small, yet it was as vast as an insurmountable chasm!

"Li Qinglian, what is a dimension?"

After thinking for a long time, Tang San could not help asking.

He knew it.

If he could not even understand this concept, then there was no point in comparing himself to Li Qinglian!

Since he, Tang San, had come to this world, how could he be content with being nothing more than a second-rate genius?

For a moment, he even forgot about Xiao Wu.

Men only considered love once their careers were stable. When their careers ran into trouble, love naturally became less important. Tang San was clearly the most typical example of such a person.

"You defeated Meng Yiran with throwing knives just now. Tell me about that technique, as well as how you make those devices, and I'll tell you what a dimension is."

Li Qinglian stood with his hands on his hips.

Tang San's hidden weapon techniques were essentially a massive encyclopedia of mechanical knowledge.

A Soul Tool could be divided into two parts: soul guidance and the tool itself.

The tool required exquisite mechanical structures...

As for the principles of soul guidance, they were similar to electrical conductivity in Li Qinglian's previous life, except the form of energy had changed from electric current to Soul Power. Li Qinglian himself could already organize most of the principles behind soul guidance.

But mechanical knowledge was far too extensive. Li Qinglian had no time to study it, which made Tang San's complete collection of hidden weapon manufacturing methods extremely important.

"I can't give that to you."

Tang San's face instantly turned pale, and he looked sharply at Li Qinglian.

Hidden weapons were the most essential thing of the Tang Sect.

The Tang Sect could exist without hidden weapons, but it could not lose them.

Without the support of hidden weapons, would the Tang Sect still be the Tang Sect?
