Kapitel 371: Chapter 371: Su Ming Gradually Uncovers the Truth
Tang San himself hadn't expected that his newly discovered absorption ability through Xuantian Skill would be noticed so quickly by Su Ming!
Although Su Ming picked up on this anomaly, he couldn't immediately decipher Tang San's intentions. He lay back on his bed, mulling over scenes from Douluo Dalu in his mind. Could Tang San have acquired some new hidden power?
Then, he recalled a key point that ignited a theory: could it be…?
He remembered how, after completing the four Douluo books, the original author, inspired by the loss of his wife, wrote a fifth book titled The Rebirth of the God-King. This story followed the reborn God-King Tang San searching for his wife on a foreign continent.
Originally, Su Ming wasn't a critic of the series, and the idea of Tang San as the protagonist seemed intriguing. He was ready to give it a shot, but his friend advised against it. His friend warned that reading Douluo V would be a waste of time, likening Tang San's actions in it to those of an evil spirit master, with uncomfortable undertones surrounding Xiao Wu's reincarnation as Xiao Mei.
Reflecting on this, Su Ming remembered how his friend had complained that Xuantian Skill seemed to contain every possible ability. From the start of Douluo V, the reborn God-King Tang San discovered that his Xuantian Skill could absorb the bloodlines of others, both enhancing his cultivation and allowing him to harness their powers.
If Tang San could absorb multiple bloodlines, it would be akin to gaining additional martial spirits like in Douluo I. With each breakthrough, he could store yet another bloodline's ability, a talent even more broken than his current twin spirits.
This prompted Su Ming to make a bold guess: could Tang San's Xuantian Skill have mutated early by some twist of fate?
The theory seemed outlandish, yet Xuantian Skill enabling bloodline absorption would be a powerful advantage for Tang San. And though this world was still Douluo Continent and not the later Fairy Continent, Tang San probably couldn't acquire multiple martial spirits just by absorbing others. Still, it would likely add new abilities to his skillset!
Su Ming rubbed his temples, feeling a sudden clarity as all the pieces clicked into place. However, for now, this was only a theory. Tang San's abilities needed further monitoring to confirm whether he truly had an absorption power.
Initially, Su Ming planned only to watch Tang San's matches against high-profile teams like Blazing Academy and Tianshui Academy, but now, it seemed he couldn't afford to miss any matches!
With these thoughts, Su Ming recorded his theories in his journal as a reminder for further observation, making a mental note to supplement his findings if anything new emerged.
The female characters reading along with Su Ming's journal were stunned.
The most taken aback were Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue in Spirit Hall, realizing this was practically the behavior of an evil spirit master. Absorbing others' spirit power and bloodlines—this went beyond selfishness.
Losing some spirit power was bearable; there were other spirit masters who siphoned spirit energy, and it fell within the realm of acceptable tactics on the continent. But absorbing bloodline abilities? If this were real, the target's foundational abilities would suffer, the effects worsening with increased absorption!
This couldn't be ignored.
Bibi Dong quickly messaged Qian Renxue through their journal connection.
Bibi Dong: "Xue'er, you're reading this too, right? What do you make of Su Ming's theory?"
Qian Renxue, who had been pondering Su Ming's notes, immediately recognized her mother's concern.
Qian Renxue: "Mother, I think it's worth investigating. If Tang San is indeed doing what Su Ming suspects, we should intervene. This qualifies as evil spirit master behavior."
Bibi Dong: "Good. Ghost should still be by your side. Have him monitor Tang San closely for unusual activity."
Bibi Dong: "If I had such a power and were less principled, I wouldn't stay put in my room to cultivate. Tang San will likely wander the crowded areas of the city, brushing past others to discreetly absorb their bloodline energy, all under the guise of harmless contact."
Qian Renxue: "Understood, I'll have Ghost start watching him now. Oh, and about Xue Beng, he's fully hooked—there's no need for the medicine anymore. He's entirely addicted, haha!"
Bibi Dong: "Good. If Su Ming's theory proves correct, we'll have one chance to act without alerting him: when the five qualifying teams from the Heaven Dou Empire travel to Spirit Hall. We'll need to prepare meticulously."
Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy and Huo Wu from Blazing Academy were equally stunned by the idea that Xuantian Skill could undergo such a mutation.
Realizing they could soon face Tang San in the selection matches, they wondered how to respond. Although they had their doubts, they dared not gamble with their futures. Even small amounts of absorption could have an impact over time.
Both girls resolved to prevent Tang San's Blue Silver Grass from coming into contact with them or their teammates and to conclude matches swiftly, even if it meant revealing a few trump cards early.
Dugu Yan and her team at Thunderclap Academy shared similar sentiments. If they met Tang San in the knockout rounds, they would need to end it quickly.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu's feelings for Tang San turned to deeper disdain. Though his reincarnation had been to find her, why was he also absorbing her divine bloodline as a reincarnation?
Would he sacrifice even the one he claimed to love for the sake of power?
