Cutting Off Tang Xiaosan's Opportunities

Although he wanted to nip Tang Xiaosan in the bud before he had grown strong, unfortunately, neither Shui Yunxi nor Dugu Bo could defeat even the heavily injured Tang Hao.

Of course, he had considered leaking the information that Tang Hao was hiding in Holy Soul Village to Spirit Hall, using their hand to eliminate both Tang Hao and Tang Xiaosan.

But once he remembered that Bibi Dong was currently the Pope, he dismissed the idea. Others might not understand Bibi Dong, but how could he not understand her?

It was not difficult to see from the original story that during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament held in Spirit City, Bibi Dong had never intended to deal with Tang Hao.

Even if he truly delivered Tang Hao's information to Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong would probably only symbolically send her two trusted subordinates, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, to put on a show for the people of Spirit Hall.

With the strength of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, there was no way they could kill Tang Hao.

Rather than alert the enemy and make Tang Xiaosan stray from his original path, it was better to let him continue following the plot of the original story. As long as he cut off several of Tang Xiaosan's most important opportunities and sources of support along his path to growth, he refused to believe Tang Xiaosan could still become the Sea God and Asura God at the age of twenty-five, just as he had in the original story.

Looking over Tang Xiaosan's life trajectory, it was easy to see that his greatest opportunity in childhood had not been his father, the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, nor the hundred-thousand-year transformed Xiao Wu, but the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Without the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, given the gap in age and Soul Power between Tang Xiaosan and the others at the time, he could never have so easily defeated the descendants of those major clans and powerful forces during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

Likewise, without the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xiao Wu would likely have exposed her identity as a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. She would never have been able to go to Spirit City to compete.

And without the opportunity presented by the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the so-called Evil Fiend White Tiger Dai Mubai, Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun, and Sausage Uncle Oscar would have been nothing more than the Brothel Three Swordsmen of Suotuo City in the Balak Kingdom.

By the same logic, without the opportunity presented by the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess, Ning Rongrong, could never have evolved from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. There would have been no Nine-Colored Goddess Inheritance, much less any divine resurrection skill.

And finally, without the opportunity presented by the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, no matter how diligently Zhu Zhuqing cultivated or how desperately she pushed herself, she could never break through the limits of her innate Rank Seven Soul Power. She would be unable to reach the rank of Titled Douluo for her entire life, let alone escape her family's fate.

Not to mention that after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, Tang Xiaosan would still want to rely on the members of the Strength Clan, Defense Clan, Speed Clan, Breaking Clan, and the other Four Single-Attribute Clans to establish the Tang Sect.

After Bibi Dong established the Spirit Hall Empire, it would be even more convenient for Tang Xiaosan to merge Skywater, Blazing Fire, Divine Wind, Thunderclap, and the other four advanced Soul Master Academies into Shrek Academy, along with the clan forces behind those academies that possessed the strength of Soul Douluos. This would lay the foundation for him to casually raise an army made entirely of Soul Masters when war broke out with Spirit Hall.

Of course, after awakening the memories of his previous life, the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo, the Tianshui Shui Family, and Skywater Academy had completely lost all connection to Tang Xiaosan.

Likewise, his desire to cooperate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the early stages was not only to quickly accumulate wealth and resources. Naturally, he also wanted to make things difficult for Tang Xiaosan.

He had not forgotten that in the near future, Tang Xiaosan would also rely on Tang Sect hidden weapons to strike a deal with Ning Fengzhi and earn his first pot of gold.

Since that was the case, he would rely on the inheritance memories in his mind to manufacture offensive Soul Tools, then make a fortune off the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Naturally, the Soul Tools used for trade and sale could not be too high-grade.

"This subordinate general, Yu Dabao, pays his respects to Your Highness."

"This subordinate pays his respects to Your Highness!" ×500

Upon hearing Yun Duo's voice behind him, Yu Dabao turned around in delighted surprise and ran toward Yun Duo.

The five hundred Soul Master soldiers behind Yu Dabao placed their right hands over their chests and bowed slightly toward Yun Duo, performing a standard salute.

"Mm. My martial soul awakening today caused quite a commotion. Sorry for the trouble, General Yu and everyone. Once this matter is settled, General Yu and all the soldiers will receive five times your usual pay this month, in accordance with military regulations."

"Damn, five times the pay this month? Your Highness, are you serious?"

Upon hearing Yun Duo's words, Yu Dabao was ecstatic for those soldiers.

One had to know that, based on the minimum standard for the Skywater City military, each of the five hundred Soul Master soldiers under his command received at least one hundred Gold Soul Coins in pay. With their income suddenly increasing fivefold, would each of them not receive five hundred Gold Soul Coins this month?

Five hundred Gold Soul Coins might not sound like much at first, but in Skywater City, where most people still used Copper Soul Coins and Silver Soul Coins for transactions, a single Gold Soul Coin was enough to cover nearly a year of expenses for an ordinary civilian family.

After all, in Skywater City, not everyone could casually make transactions worth tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins. Most deals involved only a few hundred or a few thousand.

Only clan forces with Soul Emperors or above, as well as the Yu Family where Yu Dabao, a Soul Sage, belonged, could casually conclude transactions worth tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins at a time.

Of course, major forces such as the Prince's Residence, the Tianshui Shui Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Chamber of Commerce, and the Martial Soul Main Hall dealt in major transactions worth hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins.

"I never joke about matters this important. I will speak to City Lord Shui myself when the time comes. You only need to wait until the end of the month to collect your pay."

The fivefold pay for Yu Dabao and the five hundred Soul Master soldiers might seem like a lot, but even at the fullest calculation, it was only three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

At most, it was just over half a year's tax revenue from his family's fief. Not to mention that his family had other businesses as well, so they naturally did not lack those three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Moreover, he would cooperate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Chamber of Commerce in business later on, so he would be even less short of those three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Yet this action could win him the affection of all the army's officers and soldiers, establish a good reputation, and attract more Soul Masters to serve his family.
