Chapter 20: Terrifying Killing Intent, Generous Weekly Rewards
Spirit City — Pope's Palace
When Bibi Dong saw that Tang San also possessed twin martial souls — the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer — and recalled Tang Hao appearing beside Xiao Wu, she instantly guessed Tang San's true identity.
Tang San was the son of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo.
"Twin martial souls… Tang San. It seems I cannot allow you to live."
Tang Hao was the mortal enemy of Spirit Hall. His son Tang San would inevitably stand against Spirit Hall in the future, so it was necessary to eliminate this twin martial soul genius while he was still in the cradle.
Even though Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Bibi Dong would not show the slightest mercy.
As for Yu Xiaogang, what Bibi Dong felt in her heart was more of a possessive obsession.
As for the others around Yu Xiaogang, anyone who threatened Spirit Hall would receive no mercy from her.
Lin Chen's diary continued to be updated, and the women in the chat group stopped discussing.
They continued reading:
[So Tang San's martial souls should actually be the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer — not Blue Silver Grass. Yu Xiaogang just got lucky with a blind guess and successfully fooled Tang San. Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang would probably already be dead.]
[The moment Yu Xiaogang revealed Tang San's secret, Tang San had already prepared his sleeve arrow inside his cuff, ready to kill Yu Xiaogang at any time. Fortunately for Xiaogang, he was lucky that time — otherwise he would have been killed by Tang San.]
[Next came Xiaogang's training plan for Tang San, which almost ruined Tang San's martial soul. Luckily, Tang San later awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in time — otherwise Yu Xiaogang would really have ruined it, just like how he ruined his own Golden Holy Dragon.]
[Tang San's martial soul is essentially the Blue Silver Emperor, possessing powerful life attributes. The path of life should have been Tang San's inevitable choice.]
[Yet that fool Yu Xiaogang actually gave Tang San poison-attribute soul rings, intending to turn him into a control-type soul master.]
[Seriously — who knows what Xiaogang was thinking? With such a fragile martial soul like Blue Silver Grass, how did he even come up with that idea?]
[Besides, Blue Silver Grass already has a certain level of control ability. Yu Xiaogang's actions were completely unnecessary — like taking off your pants just to fart.]
[If Tang Hao hadn't taken Tang San to the Blue Silver Forest after rank fifty to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, Tang San's super martial soul would truly have been raised into useless Blue Silver Grass by Yu Xiaogang.]
[So this so-called "theory master" Yu Xiaogang only misleads his students. To prove his theories, he doesn't hesitate to gamble with his disciple's future to verify his own incorrect assumptions.]
[If I were Tang San, the moment I awakened the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, I'd pull out the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and stab Yu Xiaogang full of holes.]
[Yu Xiaogang's theories caused Tang San to miss several soul-ring slots. Otherwise, if Tang San had added several life-attribute soul rings and followed the life-path cultivation route, he might even have had the chance to inherit the God of Life's divine position.]
[Combined with his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, he would also have had a chance to inherit the God of Destruction's divine position.]
[At that point, holding both the Life and Destruction God-King positions together would be a hundred times better than inheriting the Sea God and Asura God positions like in the original story.]
[But unfortunately, Tang San's vision is limited. Since he trusted a teacher he shouldn't have trusted, he should bear the consequences.]
Spirit Hall
After reading Lin Chen's diary, Bibi Dong didn't know how to defend Yu Xiaogang anymore.
Life attribute and poison attribute — the attributes conflicted.
"Xiaogang… Xiaogang… How can you not even understand the most basic theory? Are you still the Xiaogang I once knew?"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's understanding of martial souls, disappointment appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.
After receiving the reward "Clarity of Mind," although Bibi Dong still leaned emotionally toward Yu Xiaogang, she was now able to acknowledge the mistakes he had made.
Moreover, even Bibi Dong herself did not realize that, without the influence of the Rakshasa God's divine thought, the filter she once had toward Yu Xiaogang was gradually disappearing.
Now, she had begun to regain the ability to think independently. She was no longer the self-deceiving, hopelessly love-struck woman she once was.
Continuing to read, a terrifying killing intent suddenly burst forth from Bibi Dong's eyes.
"Sea God… Asura God… Does this mean Tang San will obtain the inheritance of these two deities in the future — becoming a dual-god in one body?!"
The moment she realized Tang San would become a god in the future, Bibi Dong abruptly stood up, her entire body radiating a chilling killing intent.
She had to find Tang San's location as soon as possible and personally eliminate him at the root. Otherwise, once Tang San inherited the powers of the two gods, things would become far more troublesome.
Heaven Dou City
Upon seeing that Tang San would inherit two divine positions in the future, Qian Renxue also released a suffocating killing intent.
Her previous assumption might have been wrong.
She, Qian Renxue, was not the protagonist of this world — Tang San, this evil individual, was.
Inheriting two divine positions — what kind of fortune was that? Even she, Qian Renxue, would at most inherit a single divine position in the future.
Moreover, in Lin Chen's diary entries, every person mentioned seemed to be connected to Tang San.
"Could it be that our Douluo Continent will truly be invaded by Tang San, this otherworldly demon?"
Qian Renxue muttered softly, unable to suppress the anger rising in her heart.
Just like Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue now constantly wanted to eliminate Tang San while he was still in the cradle.
Nuoding City
After finishing today's diary entry, Lin Chen was just about to claim today's reward.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing diary entries continuously for one week. You have obtained the once per week reward.]
[Since this is the Host's first weekly reward, the reward triggers a critical bonus.]
Hearing that this week's reward could trigger a critical bonus, Lin Chen felt extremely excited.
In the next moment, the system's mechanical voice echoed repeatedly in Lin Chen's mind.
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Level-5 Innate Soul Power (can improve talent), one thousand-year soul ring (True Dragon attribute, absorbable), and three Spatial Jade Slips (stored in system space).]
(Allows instant teleportation up to one hundred li away. Can be activated manually or triggered automatically in special situations.)
At the instant the system's mechanical voice ended, two streams of light quickly rushed into Lin Chen's body.
Level-5 innate soul power allowed his soul power level to rise from rank five to rank ten, successfully breaking through into the Soul Master realm.
Moreover, what the system rewarded was innate soul power. In other words, these five levels of innate soul power improved his talent, allowing him to possess a cultivation speed comparable to geniuses born with innate full soul power.
Combined with the peerless cultivation technique, Nine Yang Divine Art, Lin Chen could hardly imagine how fast his cultivation speed would become.
Even without future system rewards, relying solely on the talent of full innate soul power and the Nine Yang Divine Art, advancing one major realm per year would hardly be a problem for Lin Chen.
A thousand-year soul ring — and with a True Dragon attribute — this soul ring satisfied Lin Chen greatly.
With his current physical condition, he normally wouldn't be able to absorb a thousand-year soul ring. But a thousand-year soul ring rewarded by the system could be absorbed safely.
Wasn't this equivalent to a thousand-year true-dragon-type soul beast offering itself as a sacrifice to him?
