Chapter 33 Tang 3's Hatred
Chapter 33 Tang San's Hatred
This battle, which was thrilling to Dugu Bo and others, was just an ordinary one in Zhong Li's eyes.
Objectively speaking, the strength of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape is indeed decent, but only decent.
If Zhong Li were to assess them, the strength of these two 100,000-year-old soul beasts would be roughly equivalent to that of elemental creatures like the Blazing Tree on the Teyvat continent.
Zhongli and Ying's strength is probably less than one ten-thousandth of what it was at its peak. Otherwise, a single rock spear strike would have killed them ten or eight times over, and leveled the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
During the ancient war between demons and gods, beings of this level would probably only have served as lowly soldiers at the front lines.
"Let's leave first."
Zhong Li took a deep look at the Lake of Life, then turned and left. It seemed that now was not the time to make contact with those beings from the Star Dou Great Forest.
With the deaths of these two beings, the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest became much quieter. When Zhongli and his group left, they did not encounter any soul beasts harassing them near the ominous place, as if they were afraid of their presence.
After returning to Tiandou City, Zhongli told Xue Di everything that had happened in the ominous place.
"Thank you. Di Tian is really ignorant, sending these two idiots to guard the gate. They've just needlessly attracted enemies to the Star Dou Great Forest."
The Snow Empress sighed softly and said, "The Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python trampled on the token of the Far North, which is a provocation to the entire Far North and to the two Snow Empresses. Even if Zhong Li didn't personally kill these foolish beasts these past two days, the Snow Empress will personally take action and send them on their way. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the Far North?"
Even the Beast God Di Tian, the Ice and Snow Maiden, and the Lord of the Far North treated each other as equals with courtesy. What are you two late-born monsters? At most, you have stronger bloodlines, making you a little stronger than ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
Sometimes, Zhongli also felt a bit emotional; these past two days, could it be said that the stupid beast and Xiao Wu, who was by Tang San's side, were not from the same family?
However, causing trouble recklessly comes at a price.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a rabbit who also loves to cause trouble is unaware that her hot-blooded brother has already become a spirit ring.
"Third Brother!"
Xiao Wu limped into Tang San's room, threw herself into her third brother's arms, and burst into tears.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Who bullied you again?"
A murderous glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he gently stroked Xiao Wu's brown scorpion braid and said.
"I... I just wanted to avenge you. You challenged that Jiangzhu so many times, and she always... Doesn't she know how hard you and the master train every day?"
Xiao Wu's eyes were red as she looked at her third brother and said resentfully.
At this point in Xiao Wu's speech, Tang San's expression darkened slightly.
That's right; after that defeat, Tang San had been desperately searching for a way to defeat Jiang Zhu. He had Grandmaster arrange various high-intensity training sessions for him, hoping to not only avenge the arrow he had been shot last time, but also reclaim his starting position in this competition.
The difference between starting players and substitutes is huge. Even if the Heavenly Dou Royal Second Academy ultimately achieves a ranking and receives the rewards, will the substitutes get any?
Anyway, in the original timeline, Shrek Academy won the championship, but none of the rewarded soul bones ended up in the hands of the substitutes Jiang Zhu, Jing Ling, and others. They weren't even given a chance to discuss it.
Moreover, the playing time and opportunities for substitute players are very limited. Even if it's simply for training, Tang San is unwilling to be a mere substitute!
"So, Xiao Wu, what exactly happened?"
Tang San hugged Xiao Wu tightly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart, and asked.
"I... I wanted to avenge you and vent my anger. While she was in seclusion cultivating her soul power in her room, I secretly slipped in through the window and then used the hidden weapon you gave me, Third Brother."
"Unexpectedly, my sneak attack failed; she actually dodged the hidden arrow I shot. Then, I used 'charm' on her and tried to wrap my legs around her, sending her sprawling. She... Waaaaah..."
Xiao Wu cried in her third brother's arms, as if she herself had been the one who had been sneaked in through the window and attacked. Hearing Xiao Wu's cries, Tang San felt a pang of pain in his heart, and his eyes gradually reddened.
"Jiangzhu, I originally thought I could spare your life. Now it seems you've chosen your own path to death!"
Tang San thought bitterly. How dare they bully his Xiao Wu like this? No matter the reason, they deserve to die!
Moreover, Xiao Wu was beaten up like this because she wanted to vent her anger! Thinking of this, Tang San's hatred became even stronger.
For a fleeting moment, Tang San even considered cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, adding soul rings to it, and quickly reaching the Soul Master level.
No. Has the training the master gave me, and my recent hard work, really been very effective? Can it really help me defeat Jiangzhu, who is of a higher level?
To match the master's various "precise and effective" training methods, such as running laps upside down, breaking large stones on his chest, and pulling a cart with Blue Silver Grass, he even sacrificed some of his time practicing the Mysterious Heaven Skill. As a result, the gap in soul power between him and Jiangzhu widened further.
If things continue like this, does he really have a chance to defeat Jiangzhu?
He witnessed it firsthand yesterday. That girl named Eileen, who had been completely unknown before, had actually pushed Boss Dai, a level 37 cultivator, to the brink of defeat. Why did others improve their strength so quickly?
He had also asked the Grandmaster about this matter. The Grandmaster confidently told him that he was "accumulating strength for a future breakthrough," preparing for his path to becoming a Title Douluo and then a Peak Douluo. As for Jiangzhu, Irene, and the others, it was obvious without even asking that they had used some tricks to quickly increase their strength. Their foundations were not solid, and their future would definitely not be a match for Tang San.
Tang San also felt that what the master said made sense. However, the problem was...
I'm already this weak. Can I really hold on until "later"? This "later" refers to reaching the Title Douluo level, which is at least several decades away. Is he really going to be suppressed by Jiangzhu and the others for decades, until his hair and beard turn white before he can finally rise to prominence?
Thinking about this outcome, Tang San felt like he was about to die. "I came to this other world to glorify the Tang Sect and to crush these ignorant natives!"
"If only... if only I could find the legendary Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."
Tang San, with his arms around Xiao Wu and his eyes bloodshot, said bitterly.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? What's that?"
Xiao Wu raised her head, her eyes red, and looked at her third brother, asking in confusion.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is one of the three great treasure troves in this world."
Tang San recalled the records in the sect's treasure book and said leisurely.
Although the records in the sect's "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" should describe the terrain and even the kinds of magical plants that existed in the previous life, for some reason, Tang San firmly believed that these "Three Great Treasure Basins" must also exist in this world, waiting for him to find them.
If I possessed the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, I could consume those precious rare and precious herbs to forge the legendary "Ice and Fire Immune Golden Body," instantly boosting my strength. Reaching the threshold of the Soul Sect would be a piece of cake.
More importantly, if he could find the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he could refine some of the truly powerful poisons recorded in the Tang Clan's records. The Tang Clan's greatest strength lies in its hidden weapons; and what is the core of hidden weapons? Poison!
