Chapter 312 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [312]
The effect of a single soul tool was already passable, but the next issue to address was a much larger one regarding synergy.
Only when soul tools achieve true synergy—transforming from various attachments to different parts of the body into an integrated suit of soul armor—can it be considered the prototype of battle armor. What follows is more experimentation, gradually combining soul tool craftsmanship with forging techniques to create battle armor.
However, Chen Ming no longer had the time to oversee these experiments, as the plot of the original work's second phase was about to begin.
For the first time, Chen Ming had Ah Yin, in her identity as the Blue Silver Emperor, connect with all the Blue Silver Grass across the continent and keep an eye on Tang San and Tang Hao.
Although Ah Yin found this command rather strange, she carried it out because she deeply missed her child.
Through the Blue Silver Grass at Nuoding Academy, Chen Ming and Ah Yin observed Tang San and Xiao Wu for the first time.
In Dormitory Seven, Tang San was braiding Xiao Wu's hair as she sat on the bed, while Xiao Wu idly toyed with a small sleeve dart in her hand, looking somewhat distracted. Outside the window, the disheveled Tang Hao was eating a chicken leg, drinking strong liquor, and staring intently at the two in the room.
Tang San's appearance wasn't particularly handsome, even leaning toward the plain. But more noticeable than his appearance was the bright red handprint on his cheek. Meanwhile, the aura of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast emanating from Xiao Wu made Ah Yin fall silent.
Due to her sacrifice in the past, Ah Yin felt an unsettling discomfort when she saw Xiao Wu, who was so similar to her younger self. And when she realized Tang Hao was lurking outside the window, spying on the two, her thoughts spiraled out of control.
Back then, Tang Hao had even betrayed her for the sake of her soul ring and soul bone. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form was equivalent to a walking treasure of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone. Even though Tang Hao was now a Titled Douluo, Ah Yin didn't believe he would simply let this little rabbit go.
Feeling Tang Hao's gaze, Ah Yin couldn't help but shiver, as if seeing her past self reflected in Xiao Wu.
Inside the room, Tang San finished braiding Xiao Wu's hair and put down the comb in his hand. Picking up the mirror in front of Xiao Wu, he looked at the handprint on his cheek with a puzzled expression.
"Xiao Wu, what do you think? A few days ago, when the teacher asked me which advanced soul master academy I wanted to join in the future, I just said I wanted to join Spirit Hall Academy, and he slapped me."
"Spirit Hall is the most powerful force on the continent. It's said that even the Seven Great Sects and the two empires show respect to Spirit Hall. Why did I get slapped just for saying I wanted to join the best academy? Does the teacher have something against Spirit Hall?"
"Hmph, serves you right." Hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu puffed up her cheeks angrily, glaring at him like an upset pufferfish. Then, with a sudden twist of her head, her newly braided ponytail struck Tang San.
Before Tang San could respond, Xiao Wu flopped onto the bed and wrapped herself up in all the blankets like a caterpillar, refusing to acknowledge him any further.
Seeing Xiao Wu's behavior, Tang San sighed helplessly, put away the scattered items, and was about to lie down on the bed—only to be kicked off by Xiao Wu. He landed hard on the floor.
For most people, such treatment would be intolerable. But since this was Xiao Wu, he could only get up, rub his aching backside, glare at the other work-study students who were peeking at him, and finally put on his clothes to leave Dormitory Seven, heading to the back mountain of the academy.

At first, Ah Yin smiled faintly as she watched Tang San and Xiao Wu interact, seemingly comforted. But when Tang San reached the back mountain, her smile disappeared.
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Purple Demon Eye—the back mountain was Tang San's training ground. Believing no one was watching, Tang San practiced his hidden weapons techniques against various trees. These weapons and methods, which didn't belong to this world, immediately filled Ah Yin with a strong sense of unease.
Tang San also had an annoying habit of narrating to himself, speaking aloud as if explaining to an audience. While throwing hidden weapons, he would evaluate himself. In situations where he believed he was well-hidden, he would ramble on like spilling beans.
"In my previous life, I was a disciple of the Tang Sect in Western Shu. Although I fell off a cliff and arrived in this world, becoming a soul master and awakening a unique martial soul, the art of hidden weapons, the foundation of a Tang Sect disciple, must never be neglected."
"Even though I'm no longer in my original world, I am still Tang San of the Tang Sect."
"I've already crafted quite a few of the lower-ranked hidden weapons from Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions. High-damage mechanical hidden weapons are my trump cards for now. The power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow is even stronger than some soul skills. Even against high-level soul masters, I might still have a fighting chance."
"However, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the supreme cultivation technique of the Tang Sect, while still usable in this world, is limited by the constraints of soul rings, preventing me from breaking through. I'm currently at Rank 29, and soon I'll need to hunt for my third soul ring. I wonder what kind of soul beast I'll encounter then."
"The Blue Silver Grass martial soul is too weak. Only by enhancing its toxicity can it compete with stronger martial souls."
"According to the teacher's theory, my first soul ring came from a Mandala Snake and the second from a Ghost Vine. For my third soul ring, I'll consider the teacher's recommendations: the Man-Faced Demon Spider or Poison Arrow Hedgehog, to further enhance my poison abilities."
Tang San muttered to himself as he practiced, running through the forest with ghostly footwork, and throwing hidden weapons along the way. Each weapon hit its target with precision, demonstrating skills far beyond what a child should possess.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao sat casually on a tree, eating chicken legs and gazing at the moon. He seemed utterly indifferent to Tang San's loud self-narration and erratic movements in the back mountain as if he had long been used to it.
Through the Blue Silver Grass, Ah Yin heard the child's voice. For a long time, she remained silent. In her spiritual form, she clutched Chen Ming's sleeve, her expression pained.
Chen Ming shook his head and sighed, lending Ah Yin a bit of his power. Through Ah Yin's perspective, the child throwing strange metal weapons in the back mountain was overlaid with the image of a young man in white robes.
As Sinful Judgement activated, Ah Yin saw the shadow of guilt on this person.
Abandoned as a child, taken in by the Tang Sect, he learned to read at four, grew resentful of the Tang Sect's injustices at five, and coveted the sect's supreme manual, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, at six. At nine, he stole the manual during a moment of carelessness from Elder Tang Lan, who had raised him. After cultivating it for twenty years, he was discovered and escaped by jumping off a cliff.
Tang San's previous life was nearly entirely marked by sin. Though it was difficult to judge, Ah Yin saw most of his prior life through this vision.
Realizing the soul within her son's body wasn't her original child but a foreign soul from another world, Ah Yin shed tears for the first time. Her gaze toward Tang San and Tang Hao was no longer complex—it was filled with hatred.
