Tang Sect Ideology's First Clash with Douluo Continent

Seeing Dai Mubai's tall, sturdy frame—nearly two meters in height—Tang San's gaze unconsciously faltered.

"Wh... what do you mean?"

"What do I mean?"

Dai Mubai narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Tang San before speaking.

"Since ancient times, envoys have never been executed in war between two nations, let alone Healing Soul Masters who save lives and heal the wounded."

"This rule is basically a universally accepted principle in the soul master world. Though it isn't written down, even Fallen Soul Masters have to think twice before attacking a Healing Soul Master."

"Tang San, what did you mean by what you just said? Don't tell me... you've got ideas about Lin Yan?"

By the end, Dai Mubai's tone had turned somewhat chilling.

What a joke. Lin Yan was someone he had already claimed for himself.

To put it bluntly, as long as a strategic talent like Lin Yan became his subordinate, the chances of Zhu Zhuqing and him inheriting the throne in the future would greatly increase.

Would Dai Mubai allow Tang San to act recklessly?

Anyone who stood in the way of his inheritance had earned their death!

"I... I don't."

Tang San stammered as he instinctively explained himself.

"I was only worried about his safety. I didn't mean anything else."

Honestly, Tang San really had no intention of harming Lin Yan.

The reason he had asked that question was entirely because the Tang Sect from his previous life had no such rule at all. In fact, the core doctrine of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record required him to assassinate the enemy's medics in advance.

Only then could victory be achieved at the lowest possible cost.

Simply put, their values were incompatible!

The Tang Sect taught him to stop at nothing to achieve his goals, but everyone on Douluo Continent believed that Healing Soul Masters, regardless of faction, were the ones who should never be harmed.

This misunderstanding ultimately ended with Tang San's flustered apology.

Dai Mubai gave Tang San another deep look before threatening him in a harsh tone.

"You'd better not have any ideas about Lin Yan."

"Don't say I didn't warn you. If you truly dare lay a hand on Lin Yan, forget about us... even the soul masters in this Soul Fighting Arena whom Lin Yan has treated won't let you go."

Tang San did not say another word.

For one thing, he could not think of anything to refute him with. For another, he still had some pride and wanted to use silence in place of resistance.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai did not press him any further. Instead, he said to Lin Yan right in front of him.

"Lin Yan, set up your stall here. If anything happens, come straight to the Contestant Lounge and find me."

"Your brothers have got your back!"

Lin Yan smiled and nodded.

"Thanks, but don't worry. What could possibly happen to me?"

"Focus on your matches. If you get injured, come to me, and I'll treat you."

Lin Yan acted like an innocent little flower who knew nothing of the world, showing no vigilance at all toward any danger that might come.

As a result, everyone's hostility toward Tang San deepened a little further...

"Damn it, Lin Yan is such a pure-hearted Healing Soul Master, yet that old schemer Tang San has his eye on him. Where's the justice in that?"

"..."

Before long, everyone finished registering and left one after another. Only Lin Yan and the beautiful staff member beside him remained at his stall.

The staff member was named Meng Qian. She had exquisite features and a voluptuous figure, with long purple hair tied into a ponytail. Combined with the slightly revealing uniform of the Soul Fighting Arena, her skin appeared even fairer.

Whenever they were not busy, the two casually chatted now and then.

Lin Yan's handsome appearance and witty humor often made Meng Qian laugh so hard that her body trembled, the soft flesh before her chest swaying fiercely.

"Sister Qian, let me give you a riddle."

"Once upon a time, a little bird built a nest from grass strands by the river. But the wind suddenly blew the nest into the water. The River God appeared, holding a nest made of gold strands in one hand and a nest made of silver strands in the other. He asked the little bird, 'Did you lose this golden-strand nest, or this silver-strand nest?'"

"Can you guess how the honest little bird answered?"

Lin Yan lazily propped up his chin and looked at Meng Qian. As she admired his handsome face, she put on a thoughtful expression.

"How did the little bird answer?"

"Could it be that birds can't talk, so it only chirped?"

Lin Yan shook his head.

"Wrong! Think carefully. Here's a hint: the little bird was very honest. It only wanted its own thing back."

Meng Qian murmured to herself, "Only wanted its own thing back? Its own thing..."

"Wouldn't that be grass str—"

"Lin Yan! Lin Yan!"

Before Meng Qian could unconsciously say the final word, an urgent female voice suddenly rang out from nearby.

The two were interrupted by the cry at the same time and turned toward it.

A tall, thin woman was helping a short, fat man with severe injuries as they staggered toward them from not far away.

"Damn, Brother Rat?"

"How did you get hurt this badly?"

Lin Yan looked shocked. The man called Brother Rat was now covered in blood, one arm hanging limply at his side and his legs unsteady. He had clearly been beaten into a serious state.

As they drew closer, the stench of blood rushed straight into Lin Yan and Meng Qian's nostrils.

"Don't ask. Hurry... hurry and treat me. I'm not going to make it."

Lin Yan summoned his Martial Soul.

"No problem, but injuries like yours will cost at least 100 Gold Soul Coins."

"Business is business, personal matters are personal."

Although Lin Yan called him Brother Rat, he showed no hesitation whatsoever when naming his price.

After hearing that Lin Yan wanted 100 Gold Soul Coins, the two visibly froze for a moment and revealed identical troubled expressions.

Lin Yan:

"What's going on? Don't tell me you lost all your money?"

At those words, the short, fat man lowered his head without speaking, while the tall, thin woman beside him spoke with great embarrassment.

"Um... can we owe you first?"

"Once we make some money later, we'll slowly pay you back..."

As she spoke, the woman seemed to feel that this request was unreasonable as well, and her voice gradually grew much softer.

But... her partner was severely injured. If he was not treated, his foundation could very well be damaged, or his life might even be in danger.

After struggling intensely, she still looked at Lin Yan with pleading eyes and cautiously said,

"Although I know this breaks the rules, but..."

[First Soul Skill: Holy Light Healing]

Lin Yan brought his hands together. As the soul incantation ended, a golden orb of light materialized out of thin air and landed precisely on the man.

As the golden light appeared, the short, fat man's injuries visibly healed at an observable rate. Even the bloody smell in the air was completely dispersed by the holy golden radiance.

Before long, the man's injuries had fully healed, and two strands of the power of faith also flowed back into Lin Yan.

His level 47 Soul Power increased by the slightest trace...

"Listen to yourself. We've known each other for so long. Could I really just watch Brother Rat grit his teeth and endure this?"

With holy wings on his back, Lin Yan smiled warmly at the two of them.

"Sister Cat, we can discuss the fee later. Take Brother Rat somewhere to rest first."

Sister Cat and Brother Rat were, in fact, the Cat and Mouse Duo whom Tang San and Xiao Wu had encountered before.

The two were regulars at this Soul Fighting Arena and occasionally visited Lin Yan's small stall. Over time, everyone had grown familiar with one another.

Now that they were severely injured and had no money for treatment, Lin Yan could not possibly watch them suffer in agony.

Besides, providing treatment when they were in such difficulty would earn him even more power of faith.

Thus, naturally, Lin Yan provided them with treatment on credit.

Before the table, when Sister Cat saw that Brother Rat's injuries had healed, she was excited and repeatedly thanked Lin Yan.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"Thank you so much, Lin Yan. If there's ever anything you need from us, we'll brave fire and water without hesitation."

As she thanked him, she kept bowing, making the soft flesh before her chest sway wildly from side to side and leaving Lin Yan dazzled.

Lin Yan rubbed his nose. After taking a few glances, he turned his gaze elsewhere and said,

"It's nothing. We all know each other so well. I couldn't just stand by and watch someone die."

"You can gather the treatment fee and give it to me within three days."

"And if I ever need help from the two of you, I definitely won't stand on ceremony."

In truth, Lin Yan was not strictly a good person. After all, he was just an ordinary soul master. When he was bored, he would tease Meng Qian and Doudou, and extort a few soul masters passing by who needed treatment. Doudou was the beautiful host of the Soul Fighting Arena.

Of course, he did not consider himself a bad person either. In a situation like today's, where simply using a healing Spirit Skill could save a soul master's future, he would naturally act without hesitation.

So... good or bad did not matter. Lin Yan only felt that he did as he pleased, with a clear conscience.

"Thank you, Lin Yan. You're a good person. I, Brother Rat, will remember this kindness for the rest of my life."

Brother Rat's eyes were sincere. If Sister Cat had not been supporting him, he probably would have wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Lin Yan right then.

Lin Yan smiled.

"It's a small matter. As a Healing Soul Master, I've received the support of Combat Soul Masters. Naturally, when I see someone injured, I won't ignore them."

"But don't even think about skipping out on the bill. Once you make money, remember to pay the medical fee in full immediately."

"Don't worry, Lin Yan! We'll continue taking part in soul fights tomorrow..."

Sister Cat was the one speaking. It was obvious that the two were strong-willed people and truly were not the sort to borrow money without repaying it.

Lin Yan did not continue chatting and said,

"If there's nothing else, then that's it for now. Sister Cat, go back and give Brother Rat something good to eat so he can recover."

Sister Cat nodded repeatedly, her attitude extremely respectful.

Only after thanking Lin Yan for a long time did the two support one another as they left.

Watching the fat and thin figures from behind, Lin Yan smacked his lips and sighed.

"Ah~"

"They're still going to participate in soul fights after all this. They really work hard."

"Come to think of it, their opponents tomorrow seem to be Tang San and Xiao Wu, right? Tsk, tsk~"

Could they still win after running into those two?

Looks like he would have to wait a long time for his medical fee!

"Hm? Tang San?"

As if he had suddenly remembered something, Lin Yan abruptly raised his head.

"Sister Cat, wait!"
