Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Haima City.

In a room on the third floor of the city lord's mansion, Lin Mu was enjoying Ah Yin's gratitude.

As for Tang San and the others, they were discussing countermeasures in the living room. Enduring Poseidon's attacks for the duration of an incense stick was undoubtedly a huge challenge.

After all, among the five people who participated in the assessment, only Tang San was able to restrain Poseidon for a short time.

Even with his soul bones restricted, Tang San's four 100,000-year soul rings were enough to defeat Sea Dragon Douluo.

However, he was still not in the same league as Poseidon, who had only used the first six spirit rings.

It would be extremely difficult for Tang San to survive for the duration of an incense stick burning.

If his soul bones hadn't been disabled, he could have held out for the duration of an incense stick's burning with his full set of soul bone skills.

Apart from Tang San, none of the others could withstand a single move from Poseidon in a one-on-one fight.

With Ning Rongrong's boost and Ye Lingling's full-fledged treatment, Yu Tianheng could barely hold on for a while.

The problem is that Poseidon will definitely deal with Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling first.

After some thought, Tang San proposed a plan.

“We certainly can’t confront Senior Poseidon head-on. I plan to split into three groups. I will hold off Senior Poseidon first, while you run in two opposite directions.”

"Yu Tianheng, the assessment begins. Use your Martial Soul True Body to leave with Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong."

"Xiao Wu, you have two powerful skills, teleportation and invincible golden body, which are enough to hold off Senior Poseidon for a while, but you should prioritize your own safety."

"In this way, we should be able to hold out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

After hearing Tang San's detailed explanation, everyone nodded in agreement, as this plan was considered the safest.

Just then, a purple-clad Soul Master walked up behind Tang San and said respectfully, "My lord, there is someone outside who wants to see you and claims to be your old friend."

Upon hearing this, Tang San looked puzzled; he had no old friends.

Could it be that Ma Hongjun came to ask them for help?
Thinking of this possibility, Tang San did not hesitate at all and refused, saying, "Go tell him that I have neither the time nor the obligation to help him."

"Yes, my lord."

After receiving the order, the purple-clad soul master turned and left, relaying the news to Ma Hongjun outside the city lord's mansion.

Upon learning that Tang San was unwilling to help, Ma Hongjun's expression grew even more unpleasant.

In fact, he had already guessed this possibility. If it were him, he wouldn't help a complete stranger, especially since they had a grudge against each other.

But since his life was at stake, he had to see Tang San.

"Please also tell Tang San that Dai Mubai is not dead, and has even obtained the inheritance of a god."

Ma Hongjun said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing these words, the purple-robed soul master was deeply suspicious. If it weren't for the black-level assessment mark on this person's forehead, he would have suspected that this guy was an outsider soul master.

Given the other party's status, he still relayed the message to Tang San.

"Dai Mubai isn't dead?"

At this moment, everyone was stunned, even Tang San showed a surprised expression.

Logically speaking, Dai Mubai should have been doomed to die since he failed the first test, but he survived and even obtained the inheritance of a god.

Although it sounds absurd, upon reflection, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

On the one hand, it's impossible for Ma Hongjun to fabricate such an absurd story; on the other hand, it does make sense, since only deities can interfere with the assessments of deities.

After a long silence, Yu Tianheng looked at Tang San and asked, "Captain, how likely do you think this is?"

"Whether it's true or false, we'll only know after confirming it." Having made up his mind, Tang San stood up from his seat and said to everyone, "You all continue discussing countermeasures, I'll be right back."

In his eyes, a fallen soul master like Dai Mubai was already doomed and had to be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent him from harming more soul masters.

Seeing this, Yu Tianheng also stood up.

“I’ll go with you. If Dai Mubai really passes the God’s Trial, it will be a big problem for me.”

At this point, Yu Tianheng's expression grew even more solemn.

It's so unfair that someone as shameless as Dai Mubai was able to obtain a divine inheritance.

He should have dealt with this menace directly back then.

"I also need to go."

Dugu Yan also stood up, clearly intending to go with Yu Tianheng, which made the others eager to join her as well.

Seeing this, Tang San's expression turned serious, and he said in an unquestionable tone, "Yu Tianheng and I will go and check the situation. You can either go back to your rooms to cultivate or sit here and wait for us."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent instantly.

After some time, Tang San and Yu Tianheng left Seahorse City and followed Ma Hongjun to the seaside.

Dai Mubai had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw the two of them appear, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

However, Tang San and Yu Tianheng did not look so good.

The two exchanged a glance and launched their attacks almost simultaneously. Dozens of Blue Silver Emperor Vines forcibly restrained Dai Mubai, and then the Thunder Dragon Claws arrived in front of him.

Fortunately, Ma Hongjun reacted in time and blocked the attack for Dai Mubai.

Although he still harbored resentment towards Dai Mubai, at least for now, they belonged to the same camp and had to unite against a common enemy.

"Let's talk this out. We mean no harm."

Ma Hongjun stood in front of Dai Mubai, looking at the two of them in a panic, and pleaded desperately.

However, Tang San was not buying it at all, and said coldly, "Fallen Soul Masters are not worthy of living in this world."

"Tang San!"

"What makes you think I'm a fallen soul master? I, like you, have received the gods' approval. Just because I once opposed you, does that mean I deserve to die?!"

Dai Mubai roared hysterically.

Before this, he thought that by virtue of his identity as a successor of the gods, he could win over Tang San and dominate the God Realm together in the future.

Unexpectedly, Tang San attacked him, even with a sense of determination to fight to the death.

Tang San remained unmoved, calmly replying, "You shouldn't die, but does that mean the Soul Masters you killed should die?"

"I only drank a little blood, what do their deaths have to do with me!"

Dai Mubai said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Tang San was so angry that he laughed. He immediately stopped arguing with him and activated his fifth soul skill.

In an instant, a blue-silver forest enveloped the area.

Since the fifth spirit ring transformed into a 100,000-year spirit ring, its coverage area has increased and its control effect has become stronger.

Looking at the completely sealed-off surroundings, Dai Mubai panicked completely.

This guy really went all out, leaving no room for retreat.

Seeing the situation growing increasingly unfavorable, he retorted again, "Tang San, you raise the sword of justice, but your heart is filled with your own selfish desires. In the end, it's just to eliminate your rivals, yet you claim to be ridding the people of a scourge. Hypocritical!" (End of Chapter)
