Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 32: Morax never holds grudges!
"Greetings, Lord Martial God!"

Zhongli can address them as "young friends," but even though they know Zhongli's "identity," they cannot address him as "Brother Zhongli" as they used to.

The gap in strength and status is often asymmetrical in communication.

The strong hold sovereignty...

Seeing this, Zhongli simply sighed and shook his head.

The ordinary life he longed for turned into a complete mess after just one trip to Shrek City.

After much planning, he finally stepped down from his divine position and became a "common person" with some wisdom.

The plan was successful, but this approach didn't work in the other world.

With a wave of his hand, an amber-colored energy straightened the three of them. Zhongli then said, "My three young friends, there's no need for such formality. I am merely a human with a little martial arts skill, and I am unworthy of being called an adult."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao and the other two's eyes twitched slightly.

Paimon rolled his eyes.

This statement is entirely false, except for the correct punctuation.

Does he have a little bit of martial arts skill?

Good heavens, is this really good heavens?

Morax is proficient in all eighteen weapons, and most of the immortals in Liyue learned their martial arts and skills from him. The title of Ancestor of the Immortals is well-deserved!

What happened next got even more outrageous...humans?
Haha~

Paimon just kept rolling his eyes, but didn't expose him!
"I'll let you off the hook for the sake of this seafood feast."

Paimon thought to herself, trying her best not to look at Zhongli, afraid that she would be unable to resist showing off her knowledge!
To Huo Yuhao and the other two, Zhongli's words sounded so humble, almost like he was showing off.

As the saying goes, the most deadly form of showing off is the subtle kind!
I'm not afraid of Zhongli pretending, I'm afraid he actually believes it!

A dignified martial god, yet he claims to be just an ordinary person with a little bit of martial arts skill...

Then aren't these useless soul masters just hydrogen people who waste air when alive and waste land when dead?
They had never even heard of a strong person with a mindset like Zhongli's, let alone seen one.

While you are still basking in the glory of breaking through to the Soul Master realm, while you are still comparing yourself to your peers, the strongest who have reached the pinnacle have embarked on a path of returning to simplicity.

So, from the very beginning, everyone started on the same footing?

What the hell?!

You can choose not to use your skills, but you can't be without them!
If Zhongli had no strength, even if he was humble and polite, he would still have to be subservient to Xuanzi.

However, Zhongli had the strength to use at any time, so Xuanzi was defeated.

Huo Yuhao and the other two remained silent, truly unsure how to respond to Zhongli's words.

Zhongli noticed the awkwardness between the three of them, but there was nothing she could do.

The gap in strength will eventually create a rift between people.

You can be a little stronger or a little weaker than them, but you can't be far ahead of them or even exceed their understanding.

Once something is beyond their comprehension, it's difficult not to create a sense of distance.

"That's all..."

Zhongli sighed, but did not insist.

"The three of you are new to Liyue. If you encounter any difficulties, please come and seek our help..."

At this point, Zhongli seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, and then continued, "You can go and find Tianquan Star; she will help you."

Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, and Bei Bei: "..."

I meant to say I was looking for you, but I suddenly changed my mind. That's a bit irresponsible of you!
"Thank you for your guidance, Martial God!"

The three quickly cupped their hands in greeting.

Zhongli nodded and prepared to leave with Paimon.

At this moment, Tang Ya gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Lord Martial God, may I ask you a question?" Upon hearing this, Zhong Li paused and looked at Tang Ya.

He roughly knew what Tang Ya was going to ask, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

"But it doesn't matter!"

With Zhongli's permission, Tang Ya then said, "Martial God, my martial soul is just Blue Silver Grass. Is there any way to make me stronger?"

Blue Silver Grass, what a despair-inducing martial soul!

This martial spirit can be cultivated, but the speed is extremely slow.

She wanted revenge, but she couldn't wait until she became a strong person.

After saying this, Tang Ya released her martial soul, and as the martial soul was released, three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, appeared.

Zhong Li stroked his chin and looked at Tang Ya.

Just as he had thought, Tang Ya spoke up for this very reason.

How to persuade Tang Ya not to seek revenge?

Who is Zhongli... No, he's not human at all right now; he's just traveling the continent in human form.

Morax never holds grudges; he usually settles scores on the spot.

How could someone like him possibly persuade Tang Ya not to seek revenge...?

After a moment's thought, Zhongli said, "Young friend Tang, I know a little about your martial soul, and the way to become stronger is just a matter of your choice."

Upon hearing this, all four were stunned.

He understood Tang Ya's situation just by glancing at her martial soul?
This... truly lives up to his reputation as a God of War!
Could it be a god of martial spirits?
Tang Ya's mouth gaped slightly as she looked at Zhong Li in disbelief.

Can her Blue Silver Grass martial soul really make her stronger?

She came to Liyue to become stronger.

Having just arrived, Zhongli only glanced at the scene before drawing his conclusion...

For some reason, Tang Ya felt an urge to cry.

An opportunity was once presented to her, but she didn't cherish it...

Tang Ya's legs buckled and she was about to kneel down, but an invisible force held her up, preventing her knees from touching the ground.

"Young friend Tang, there's no need for such a grand gesture."

Zhongli shook his head and said calmly.

"me……"

Tang Ya's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Currently, besides being the head of the Tang Sect and possessing a portion of the Xuan Tian Treasure Record, she has nothing else.

Aside from kneeling down, she couldn't think of any other way to thank Zhongli.

Suddenly, Tang Ya's eyes lit up; she had a very bold idea!

Yes, she has nothing now, but she still has a portion of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu!

Isn't the academy lacking books?
In her capacity as the current leader of the Tang Clan, she contributed this portion of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu (Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record) so that the residents of Liyue could learn the ultimate techniques contained within!

Anyway, Tang San doesn't care about the fate of the Tang Clan, so she, as the sect leader, doesn't need to abide by the sect rules. After expelling Tang San from the Tang Clan, she will immediately disband the Tang Clan and infuriate that old man!
"Lord Martial God, to be honest, I am Tang Ya, the current leader of the Tang Clan."

Tang Ya cupped her hands in greeting to Zhong Li and continued, "The Tang Clan has declined. Now, only Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and I remain."

"After arriving in Liyue, I felt a sense of home here, which is exactly the place I've been longing for."

"Therefore, in my capacity as the current leader of the Tang Clan, I have decided to add the secret of the Tang Clan, the Xuan Tian Treasure Record, to Liyue Academy!"

"Any resident of Liyue can learn for free!"

Upon hearing this, Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao were dumbfounded. Was Xiao Ya (the sect leader) really going up against Tang San, the Sea God?
Tang San was forbidden from telling anyone, but she insisted on telling him anyway!
