Chapter 196. Large-scale filial piety scene (Part 1)
"Hmph, just go, do you really think I like coming to this shitty academy, hmph." Ning Rongrong said disdainfully: "I'm only here to experience it for a day or two."
The soul guide gave Ning Rongrong great confidence, which made Flanders a little uneasy. When Oscar heard that Ning Rongrong was leaving, he immediately became anxious. This was his wife.
"Rongrong, calm down, teacher, Rongrong is right. Since she has a soul guide that can be used for combat and speed, why do we still have a running course?" Oscar said.
"Oscar, what can I say to you?" Flanders pointed at Oscar and thought: We at Shrek Academy don't have a simulation training room, we don't have this facility or that facility. Besides teaching you to run with stones on your back, promoting the spirit of hardship, and instilling in you the idea that you are monsters, what else can we do?
"Back off." Flanders waved his hand and said.
Ning Rongrong, now as triumphant as a rooster, headed for her dorm, while Oscar followed like a lapdog, offering his attention.
Tang San, Ye Yang, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai hadn't left yet, and Flender was about to leave when Tang San stopped him.
"Dean Flender, I want to ask you a question,"
Flender said. "Go ahead."
Tang San continued, "Do you know the origins of mainland soul guides, especially combat soul guides?"
Flender smiled at Tang San's question and said, "Of course I do. This has long been common knowledge on the mainland. The vast majority of the soul guides we use are ancient relics, including the one around your waist. But recently, the Spirit Hall seems to have mastered the technology and has sold them to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the two great empires, and other forces. The soul guides Ning Rongrong wears are likely made by the Spirit Hall."
Flender's words shocked the Shrek people and Ye Yang in different ways.
For the Shrek Three and Tang San—no, now Shrek F4—they'd experienced the war against the Spirit Hall in their previous lives. Hidden weapons helped them close the gap with the Spirit Hall's spirit masters, but they had forgotten that the Spirit Hall had mastered the technology to create spirit tools.
And when Flanders revealed this, their hearts were understandably heavy.
Another twist: the Spirit Hall's Pope was Qian Xunji, the Spirit Hall possessed spirit tool technology, and changes were occurring in the Spirit Hall unknown to us?
This conclusion weighed heavily on the Shrek F4's hearts. The unknown is often more terrifying than the known.
"What's wrong with you?" Flanders asked, noticing the dejection among the Shrek F4.
Dai Mubai asked, "Teacher, is it that the Spirit Hall has mastered the technology for crafting spirit tools?"
Flender replied, "Of course. Only the Spirit Hall has mastered it. No other faction has. Don't you know your identity?"
Dai Mubai asked, "..."
"Does that mean the Spirit Hall has a monopoly on this technology?" Tang San asked.
Flender replied, "Of course."
"How selfish! Spirit tool manufacturing technology is a precious treasure for the entire spirit master world. Why would the Spirit Hall monopolize it?" Ma Hongjun exclaimed angrily.
Tang San's eyes flashed, and he said, "That's right. Why would the Spirit Hall monopolize this technology? It's the continent's shared wealth. The Spirit Hall should share it with everyone."
Flender rolled his eyes at Tang San and the others, saying, "Do you really think the Spirit Hall are fools? They have mastered the technology, and with their overbearing ways, how could they possibly share it with others?"
With that, Flender left.
Ye Yang's shock stemmed from the drastic divergence between his reality and the novel. If the spirit guides were the technology of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he could accept it. In future battles against the Spirit Hall, they would have a much better chance of defeating that evil organization. But right now, the Spirit Hall has a monopoly on spirit guide technology. In Douluo Dalu II, spirit guides far surpass hidden weapons. With them, the Spirit Hall is like a tiger armed to the teeth. How can they be defeated?
He's a true fan of Tang San from Douluo Continent, siding with Shrek. He's incredibly irritated by the slightest bit of strength from the Spirit Hall. If Shrek fails to fulfill the original novel's mission of slaying the Spirit Hall dragon, he's deeply concerned about how this will affect his future ascension to godhood.
The Douluo livestream has now become a revelry for the three black fans.
Pathfinder in the Dark Night: Hehehe, you three filial sons, did you hear that? The spirit guides don't belong to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, they belong to the Spirit Hall.
Blueberry: The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has been ripped off again, paying the Spirit Hall for soul guides. Hahahahaha.
White Hair: See? That's the true face of the Shrek Seven Devils. San Gou and his gang are still saying, "Why does the Spirit Hall have a monopoly on soul guide manufacturing technology? It's the common wealth of the continent!" Haha, in the original novel, they didn't do that: they insured hidden weapons and monopolized their sales. Stupid Ning Fengzhi spent so much money on all those hidden weapons to equip his sect, but after the victory, Tang San ordered them all to be recalled. That money was completely wasted.
Instant Noodles Lover: I used to dislike watching Ye Yang's live streams, because I knew the plot of Douluo Continent would inevitably lead to the destruction of the Spirit Hall. Especially now with this smug guy whose only thought was to honor San Gege, I lost faith in the Spirit Hall and the future of Douluo Continent. But now with so many changes, I have faith in the Spirit Hall again.
Hongdou: Enough talk. I'm already looking forward to the sequel. See how the Spirit Hall bullies San Gege and Ye Yanggou. Hehehe.
Tangmen Kunxu: Don't get complacent, you three haters! What's the big deal about the Spirit Hall possessing spirit tools? They're probably just a bunch of low-level ones. My San Giegie is a master of hidden weapons.
Tangmen Xukun: You're right. The Spirit Hall only has a bunch of low-level spirit tools. It's not clear who wins when it comes to hidden weapons versus spirit tools.
Tangmen Gini Taimei: Besides, San Giegie's destiny is clear. No matter what happens to the Spirit Hall, it can't escape the judgment of my San Giegie.
Huo Zhanji: Haha, even San Gege deserves a clear destiny. He's just a scoundrel who uses the righteousness of the continent to cover up his vengeful desires. Such a loser should be eliminated. And yet, the book Douluo Dalu has allowed this wretch to rule Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years. Absurd!
Tangmen, what are you doing? Ye Yang, don't you have the system? Is there an option to sell your spirit tool technology?
Tangmen Yifan: "Tangmen, why did you remind us? Ye Yang, don't you have a system? Can you buy spirit guides and technical support for us three?"
Tangmen Wuqian: "Ye Yang, how much does it cost to buy spirit guides? Let's all chip in. We must not let our Tangmen Sect Master, the three of us, lose at the starting line."
Tangmen's words were like a stone dropped into calm waters, creating ripples.
Everyone expressed their willingness to donate a certain amount to Tang San.
Ye Yang was just about to explain that his system didn't have the ability to purchase soul guides when he was overwhelmed by planes and rockets.
Seeing the flood of planes, rockets, and even super-hot spacecraft, Ye Yang was moved to tears. He decided to wait until this wave of planes and rockets passed before explaining it to the Tang Sect comrades.
Ye Yang was moved to tears: "Min Na."
Blueberry: Hahaha, a grand display of filial piety from the three filial sons.
White Hair: If Tang San knew he had such a group of filial sons, he'd probably be choking in his sleep.
Big Blue: Those with money can donate, those without can sell a kidney, ideally both. You'll only lose two kidneys. If you don't raise enough, your San Ge Ge will lose the chance to master a spirit tool, hehe.
After a long while, the filial sons grew tired of farming planes, and one of them realized something was amiss.
Tang Clan's Ding Zhen: Ye Yang, we've farmed so many planes, you should at least show some appreciation.
Tang Clan's Wu Fan: Yes, Ye Yang, speak up! How much does it cost to buy spirit tool technology? Let alone low-level spirit tools, we'll sell everything we have to buy the knowledge for a tenth-tier spirit tool for our San Ge Ge.
Tang Clan's Shuang Jie: Speak up, Ye Yang, you're not expecting a middleman to take a cut? Our money is for San Ge Ge, not you.
The three filial sons began to question Ye Yang, especially those who had farmed planes and rockets, who were especially impatient.
Ye Yang knew he couldn't keep up the good work, so he had to explain, "Comrades, although I also want to buy soul guide technology for the three of us, my system only sells a few notable immortal products from Dou Yi, and soul bones and soul rings with a maximum age of 100,000 years. That's all."
Tang Clan's Ding Zhen: What the hell.
Tang Clan's Wu Qian: What? Tang Clan's Yi Fan: What the hell are you doing, Tang Clan?!?
Blueberry: You idiots, Ye Yang has screwed you over! His system doesn't have this feature, but he didn't tell you. He waited until you'd redeemed all your gifts, just to make a quick buck.
Big Blue: That's exactly how he did it in the first place, stealing money from us. Luckily, this swindler was exposed early.
White Hair: We can only buy those few immortal products, with soul bones and soul rings capped at 100,000 years. I've read so many Douluo fanfictions, and this is the first time I've seen such a crappy system.
Qian Moyu: Seeing Ye Yang can't buy soul guides, I'm relieved.
Tang Clan Shuang Jie: Ye Yang, are you cheating us out of our money?
Ye Yang quickly said, "Sister Shuang, don't listen to those three black fans. I'm not, I didn't. Just when I was about to explain, you were giving out gifts. How can I explain?"
Tang Clan Yi Fan: Humph, Ye Yang, even if the money we give out can't buy a soul guide, then why don't you buy a hundred-thousand-year soul ring for my third giegie to replace his first soul ring?
Tang Clan Ding Zhen: Yes, one soul ring is not enough. We need at least two soul rings. As for the third soul ring, let's have the third giegie absorb the human-faced demon spider first and obtain the external soul bone before we get it.
Ye Yang said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I'm sorry, the money you gave me isn't enough. Do you know how much this 100,000-year spirit ring costs? One million live broadcast points, and one plane is equivalent to one live broadcast point. That means you have to give me one million planes. In other words, you have to give me 100 million RMB to get a 100,000-year spirit ring."
Tang Clan Shuang Jie: What, 100 million? Isn't your system robbing me?
Tang Clan Wu Qian: Where's the Shuangwen system? You're using us as a wool trap.
Tang Clan Xu Kun: Ye Yang, tell me the truth, are you deceiving us? Are you trying to make a profit by being a middleman?
Ye Yang said, "I swear on my martial spirit, my character, and everything else that what I said is absolutely true."
The Tang Clan members fell silent. Although most of them didn't believe Ye Yang's words, their desire for the three giegies to live a better life was sincere, so they accepted being fleeced by Ye Yang.
Ye Yang went on to say: "Besides, why would I lie to you? Even if I have enough live broadcast points to buy a hundred thousand year spirit ring, Sangiegie can't use it.
Tangmen Wu Qian: Sangiegie can't use it either, why?
Ye Yang said: "The hundred thousand year spirit ring bought by the system is not a god-given spirit ring. The kind that you can absorb whenever you want. It is a real hundred thousand year spirit ring. If you want to absorb this spirit ring, you need your mental strength and physical speed to reach the level that can absorb this spirit ring."
Ye Yang continued: "Even if Sangiegie is against the sky, he can't absorb this spirit ring now.
Tangmen Ding Zhen: What a crappy system this is. If that's the case, why should I spend 100 million to buy a spirit ring? Wouldn't it be better to go hunting spirit beasts directly?
Ye Yang said awkwardly, "There is still a gap. After all, a hundred thousand year soul beast is not easy to find, and it is not easy to kill it even if you find it. Even if you kill it and absorb it, it may not really be suitable for you.
Qian Moyu: In other words, you have just spent 100 million and bought a convenience.
Ye Yang said, "Yes, in fact, the function is not that bad. If you can make some money and help me buy six hundred thousand year soul bones, plus a few external soul bones, with a full body, let alone the ninth ring hundred thousand years, I can even get a seventh ring hundred thousand year soul ring.
Tangmen Shuangjie: You wish, our money is for the three giegies, not for you.
Ye Yang smiled and said, "Isn't it the same to spend it on me as it is to spend it on Shan giegie? If I become stronger, I can better protect our three giegies."
On the other side, Shrek F4 walked back dejectedly.
Halfway through the journey, Dai Mubai suddenly said, "Fatty, Oscar, Xiao San, do you think we can still defeat Spirit Hall as easily as before?"
Oscar and Fatty shook their heads, their renewed confidence clearly shaken by the constant changes.
The future was becoming unknowable and unpredictable, to the point where they were now somewhat unsure of its direction.
Suddenly, Tang San, who was walking in front, turned his head and looked at the three with disappointment, saying, "Dai Boss, Fatty, Oscar, you guys really disappoint me so much."
Dai Mubai said with some dissatisfaction, "Xiao San, what do you mean?"
