Chapter 77: Two Ultimate Douluo—Completely Shut Down!
[Facing the two greatest Ultimate Douluo of the current era, you show no panic at all, fully displaying the bearing of a true expert.]
[You stand with your hands clasped behind your back, your body turned slightly at a forty-five-degree angle, your head raised thirty degrees upward.]
Wang Li: "..."
Is this just his nature?
Once he has a bit of strength, he can't help his personality of liking to show off.
No matter how many times he simulates, it's always the same.
No, even in reality, he, Wang Li, seems to be like this as well.
As long as his strength is there, didn't he just barge into the Star Luo Imperial Palace whenever he wanted?
Wang Li stroked his chin, deep in thought.
This simulator… hasn't it analyzed his personality a little too thoroughly?
[Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen twitch at the corners of their eyes when they see this.]
[They knew you might be a bit stronger than them, but they didn't expect you to be such a show-off!]
[The two no longer conceal their auras, nor do they hold back any longer.]
[Like ferocious floods and savage beasts, their terrifying pressure surges toward you.]
[Golden light flashes forth, dark radiance sweeping across your face…]
[To show both their respect for you—and their displeasure—Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen almost simultaneously unleash their Martial Soul True Bodies!]
[The enormous Clear Sky Hammer comes crashing toward you, while the Angel Holy Sword condensed from soul power blooms with dazzling golden radiance.]
[Facing their combined assault, you neither dodge nor evade. You extend your right hand—grabbing the Clear Sky Hammer with one hand—and with a light swing, you redirect Tang Chen's hammer straight toward Qian Daoliu.]
[Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu are utterly dumbfounded. They know you are extremely powerful, but they never imagined you would be strong to the point of being inhuman!]
[Even though the Clear Sky Hammer is only a Martial Soul True Body without soul skills, it still weighs tens of thousands of jin!]
[Coupled with Tang Chen's mastery and technique, that strike carries at least twenty to thirty thousand jin of force—yet you block it casually with one hand and even use its momentum to smash it toward Qian Daoliu…]
[Qian Daoliu rapidly dodges, and when he looks at you again, his eyes are filled with vigilance and battle intent.]
[Tang Chen retracts the Clear Sky Hammer and stares at you solemnly.]
[The two Ultimate Douluo exchange a glance once more, then nod at each other.]
[Enemies and friends alike, they understand one another deeply. They have teamed up to explore countless perilous lands, and after innumerable battles, their coordination is flawless.]
[Qian Daoliu—invincible in the skies.]
[Tang Chen—invincible on land.]
[At this very moment, the two launch a simultaneous attack on you!]
[You glance sideways, azure-blue energy reflecting behind you.]
[You lightly raise one hand, and your first soul ring flashes.]
[Though you activate only your first soul ring, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen dare not underestimate it—because your first soul ring is also a hundred-thousand-year one!]
[Boundless Ocean!]
[You speak softly as brilliant crimson light flickers and vast blue light erupts!]
[Countless waves of blue light surge forth like seawater, sweeping toward Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen.]
[Neither dares to be careless in the slightest—Angel Domain, activate! Ring Explosion, explode! At present, Tang Chen has yet to go to the Slaughter City, so he has not obtained the Death God Domain.]
[Seeing this, your expression remains completely calm. Your first soul ring flashes once more as you activate the second soul skill of the hundred-thousand-year ring.]
[Sigh of the Deep Sea!]
[Blue energy erupts like a whale drawing breath, or like a submarine volcano exploding—several pillars of light burst forth from the ground…]
[Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen feel their scalps go numb. Fortunately, this is a forest—if it were the open sea, they would likely have no power to resist at all!]
[In just a short while, you finish dealing with Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. The two lie on the ground, utterly dispirited.]
[They did not use their full strength—but they know that you did not either.]
[You did not even activate your Martial Soul True Body, using only your first three soul rings…]
["Sigh… is the gap really this big?"]
[Tang Chen finds it hard to accept. Both he and Qian Daoliu stand at the very pinnacle of the continent, yet the difference between them and you is like an unbridgeable chasm.]
[Qian Daoliu quietly looks at you, feeling that you possess the bearing of a god.]
["You are very strong. You should have already touched the threshold of godhood, right?"]
[As the High Priest of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu understands gods far better than Tang Chen.]
["If I want to become a god, I can do so at any time."]
[You wave your hand indifferently, speaking the truth.]
[You truly are not lying. If you wish, you can immediately complete the Eighth Trial of the Asura God and proceed to the Ninth Trial.]
[After completing the Nine Asura Trials, you would become the Asura God.]
[Of course, you could also complete the Sea God's Nine Trials first and become the Sea God before anything else.]
[Poseidon has treated you well—you plan to become the Sea God first, then complete the Asura God's trials. One should never forget their roots.]
[Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen stare at you blankly. They never imagined you had already reached such a level.]
[At your level, experts disdain lies—so neither of them doubts your words.]
[You complete a sign-in at the Death Forest. Perhaps because Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen are also present, the rewards you obtain are astonishingly good.]
[You obtain a million-year torso soul bone, as well as a million-year soul ring. One sign-in—two rewards.]
[You find yourself looking more favorably upon Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen.]
[Qian Daoliu can never become a god—he will not betray his faith.]
[Tang Chen is different. He has no faith, and if not for being schemed against by the Rakshasa God, he would have had a great chance of becoming the second-generation Asura God.]
[Now that you have arrived, Tang Chen can no longer become the Asura God—but… it seems he has avoided a great calamity and gained a genuine chance at godhood.]
Wang Li: "Now that you mention it… yeah, that actually makes sense."
"In the simulation, it's obvious that I'm coveting Bo Saixi's beauty… cough, cough."
"Tang Chen and Bo Saixi are impossible anyway, and he has no chance of inheriting the Asura God's legacy. So if he walks the path of faith-based ascension—or inherits another god's position—it's very possible for him to become a god!"
"In the simulation… did I end up becoming Tang Chen's benefactor instead??"
Thinking it through this way, simulated Wang Li really was Tang Chen's benefactor…
[You quite like the personalities of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen—both are straightforward, magnanimous people.]
[The three of you feel instant camaraderie upon meeting, nearly swearing brotherhood… You talk for a long, long time.]
[Tang Chen speaks of his grandson—a youth who has just awakened his martial soul and possesses the potential to become a Titled Douluo.]
[Qian Daoliu talks about his disappointing son—someone with the talent to become a Titled Douluo, yet destined to never break through beyond rank ninety-seven.]
[You… feel that these two old fellows are seriously flexing. What the hell do you mean by "unable to break through beyond rank ninety-seven"…]
[Are the standards really that high?]
[Thinking carefully, you feel Qian Daoliu's words are not without reason. After all, they are descendants of the Angel God—Qian Xunji's talent really is somewhat lacking.]
[When Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu learn that you are thirteen years old, both of them freeze in place, the light in their eyes dimming considerably.]
