Chapter 10: Bootlicker Tianmeng Ice Silkworm

Chapter 10: Bootlicker Tianmeng Ice Silkworm

To be fair, the demise of Tang Sect's hidden weapons was due to more than just soul tools being more advanced.

Another reason was that some hidden weapons were simply too difficult to manufacture, making them far less cost effective compared to soul tools.

As a result, Tang Sect's hidden weapons stopped selling, leading to the sect's decline and a vicious cycle of failure, ultimately causing hidden weapons to vanish from the Douluo Continent.

Additionally, Tang San was extremely secretive.

Otherwise, even if hidden weapons had lost market appeal, Tang Sect wouldn't have declined to the point where their original base was taken over.

Huo Yuhao still remembered that in the original story, he only obtained the full version of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record after passing the test at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Before that, Tang Ya and the others had only been studying a censored version.

Key content such as Hidden Weapons Hundred Separation and Poison Scripture was all inside a small booklet hidden in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

For ten thousand years, Tang Sect disciples had treated the censored version as their sacred text.

Even worse, the "supplementary" version of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record that Tang San later gave to Huo Yuhao had Tang San's own name as the author.

But the original creator of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record wasn't even Tang San it was someone else!

Yet Tang Shenwang waved his divine hand and erased the original author's name, claiming full credit.

No matter how you looked at it, this was an absolutely insane move.

At that moment, Zhao Feng's voice echoed throughout the classroom.

"Of course, while Tang San's actions ten thousand years ago caused the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy to fall behind in soul tool development, making them far inferior to our Sun Moon Empire…

"We must still acknowledge that Tang San was an incredibly powerful soul master.

"According to the records of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, Tang San surpassed the limits of soul masters and became a god.

"In the Sun Moon Empire, no one has ever achieved such power!

"We cannot comprehend the full extent of a god's strength, but I firmly believe that if we can develop soul tools powerful enough, we will be able to kill gods!

"After all, so called gods… are nothing more than overpowered soul masters!"

Zhao Feng's resolute voice carried across the room.

The students lit up with excitement, and thunderous applause followed.

For these young children, Zhao Feng's speech ignited their emotions and fueled their passion for studying soul tools.

Huo Yuhao stared at Zhao Feng in utter shock.

*"What kind of god killing declaration is this?

"Why don't you just add, 'As long as they have a visible health bar, even gods can be slain!'"*

Inside the Spiritual Sea

Hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed in exasperation.

"*Even though I've never fought a god before, I know that gods are ridiculously overpowered.

"How could human soul tools possibly kill a god?

"Even if you give humans twenty thousand years, they still wouldn't be able to reach that level.

"Yuhao, your teacher is talking nonsense."*

Huo Yuhao knew that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had lived for far too long his perception of time was completely different from humans.

To Tianmeng, twenty thousand years was nothing more than a few naps.

Moreover, Tianmeng had spent a huge chunk of his life locked inside the core of the Star Dou Forest, constantly absorbing energy.

He wasn't up to date on modern soul tool technology otherwise, in the original story, he wouldn't have been so shocked when he first saw a flying soul tool.

"Tianmeng Bro, humans might actually reach that level one day," Huo Yuhao responded.

"From what I know, current Rank 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shells can already kill a Titled Douluo."

Since Huo Yuhao had read the original story, he knew that if the people of Douluo were given twenty thousand years, they would be able to break past the limits of their world and reach space.

Killing a god with soul tools was absolutely possible for Douluo's future civilization.

Of course, even after twenty thousand years, soul tools still weren't strong enough to kill Tang San.

After all, that guy up there would never allow Tang San to be completely erased.

Even though he had nerfed Tang San's combat ability in the first book, making him weak enough to be beaten by a younger version of Shi Hao,

(which led to the entire Douluo power system being mocked as "Xuanhuan's Lowest Tier"),

he later patched Tang San's abilities in the sequels desperately trying to showcase his strength.

…Even if those patches were full of contradictions.

Because if Tang San had always been that strong,

then why was the battle between Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue so underwhelming?

They were fighting to the death there was no reason for them to hold back.

"Wait… Titled Douluos can be killed?!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was shocked, sounding like someone who had just learned about modern technology.

"H humans have already developed soul tools this powerful?!"

Tianmeng had no real understanding of soul tools.

In his mind, soul tools were still stuck in the primitive stages.

"Of course!" Huo Yuhao replied confidently.

"It's precisely because I understand the power of modern soul tools that I believe in humanity's potential.

"Give them twenty thousand years, and their soul tool technology will far surpass anything we can imagine."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fell silent for a moment.

Then, in an urgent voice, he declared:

"No I can't sleep anymore!

"Yuhao, from now on, I'm personally overseeing your training!

"You need to reach Rank 20 as soon as possible!

"This is for your own good once you reach Rank 20, I can take you to a certain place and help you obtain a true second martial soul.

"At that point, you'll have Twin Martial Souls!"*

Tianmeng was starting to panic.

With his level of mental perception, he could tell that Huo Yuhao wasn't lying.

And if humans already had weapons capable of killing Titled Douluos, then it was only a matter of time before someone ventured into the Extreme North and used those weapons on Bing Bing.

Even though Bing Bing (the Ice Empress) was an immensely powerful 400,000 year soul beast, she wasn't invincible.

Plus, she was extremely proud if she got reckless, she could very well end up seriously injured or killed.

If Tianmeng didn't hurry, he might not be able to bring Bing Bing into Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

And if that happened, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Tianmeng's main goal was to become a god through Huo Yuhao.

But…

An immortal life without Bing Bing?

That would be boring and meaningless.

Huo Yuhao: "???"

*"Wow… You're so desperate to live with Bing Bing that you're willing to skip sleep and personally push me to train?

"Tianmeng Ice Silkworm you're a shameless bootlicker!"*
