Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

"Boss Dai"

Ma Hongjun watched helplessly as Dai Mubai was burned alive, and a wave of sorrow washed over him.

Logically, he should be happy, after all, Dai Mubai not only killed Xiao Ao with his own hands, but also did something unforgivable to him.

However, seeing Dai Mubai die so tragically, he still felt a pang of pity.

Back in Shrek Academy, they had a fairly good relationship, after all, they were comrades who frequented brothels together.

Several years have passed, and of the original three musketeers, only he remains.

In reality, he could only live for a year, since without the assistance of other Soul Masters, he had no chance of defeating Sea Ghost Douluo.

"This is all Yu Xiaogang's fault!"

At this moment, Ma Hongjun's resentment reached its peak.

If Yu Xiaogang hadn't come to Shrek Academy, none of this would have happened. He wouldn't have become Yu Xiaogang's disciple, and Dai Mubai and Oscar wouldn't have died.

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that Yu Xiaogang was using him from the very beginning, mainly to prove his theory of martial spirit.

Because he was so eager to prove himself, this old man chose to take an unorthodox approach.

No one else would ever choose an ice-type spirit ring for a fire-type spirit master; only Yu Xiaogang, with his extraordinary wisdom, managed to do so.

If Yu Xiaogang truly valued Ma Hongjun, he would never risk his future.

Ultimately, Yu Xiaogang simply wanted a disciple with the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, so that he could prove his Martial Soul theory.

If he had a better option, he might have given up on Ma Hongjun.

Of course, he paid a heavy price for helping Ma Hongjun relieve his lust that time, and he didn't want to give up halfway.

"Even if I die, I won't let him get away with this."

A fierce glint flashed in Ma Hongjun's eyes. He then turned and left the place, heading straight for Yu Xiaogang's dilapidated wooden house.

Tang San and Yu Tianheng did not intervene.

On the one hand, they had no deep-seated hatred for Ma Hongjun; on the other hand, Ma Hongjun was different from Dai Mubai and had not done anything evil that harmed many soul masters, so there was no reason to put him to death.

Moreover, Ma Hongjun is currently alone and poses no threat to them whatsoever.

Compared to this trivial matter, they cared more about Lin Mu having just destroyed the divine consciousness of a deity, which was undoubtedly going against that deity.

"Master, will this affect your path to godhood?" Tang San asked hurriedly.

All of this was caused by him. If he were to ruin his master's path to godhood, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

If he could, he would rather take the punishment in place of his master.

For him, if his master could not become a god, there would be no point in him entering the realm of gods.

"Xiao San, you don't need to worry too much about this. Even the highest gods can't interfere in human affairs at will."

At this point, Lin Mu smiled calmly and continued, "Even if he really wants to take revenge on me, he can't stop me from becoming a god."

After all, the God of Wrath is only a first-level deity and cannot interfere with other first-level deities; at most, he can only report to the God of Destruction.

As one of the five great god-kings, the God of Destruction is almost certainly not the one to stand up for the God of Wrath.

Even if we take a step back and assume that the God of Destruction wanted to avenge his subordinates, he could at most restrict the three gods of fire from passing on their divine positions.

This does not affect Lin Mu's plan.

After all, he never intended to inherit the divine position. Even if he didn't ultimately become a god through the laws, he could still become a god by collecting the power of faith.

"Master, I've caused you trouble this time," Tang San said with a guilty expression. Although his master seemed indifferent, the fact remained that he had brought this trouble upon himself by having another god as an enemy.

Seeing this, Lin Mu patted Tang San on the shoulder and said very seriously, "Little San, this has nothing to do with you. It's just that I can't stand his attitude. So what if the other party is a god? We'll still beat him!"

Upon hearing these words, Tang San was immediately filled with excitement, and his mind began to make plans.

Once we enter the realm of gods, we might be able to fight those high and mighty deities alongside our master. Just thinking about it is exhilarating.

Poseidon, however, disagreed with Lin Mu's wild and unfounded remarks.

Undeniably, Lin Mu's ability to annihilate the divine sense of a god with a single blow indicates that his strength far surpasses hers, and he has likely already reached the threshold of godhood. However, in the realm of gods, such geniuses are a dime a dozen.

Even the Sea God, who became a god tens of thousands of years ago, wouldn't dare say such a thing.

Soul Masters like Poseidon, who believe in deities, hold deities in the highest esteem, but in reality, deities are not truly invincible.

At least for Lin Mu, he was confident in dealing with a level three god, or even a level two god.

Generally speaking, condensing three soul cores is already considered to have entered the threshold of godhood.

Lin Mu has already condensed four soul cores, and only the water attribute soul core is missing to complete the collection of all five elemental soul cores.

With the soul power compressed from his four soul cores, he was capable of fighting against a god.

“Lin Mu, thank you for upholding the dignity of the Sea God. On behalf of Sea God Island, I express my gratitude to you,” Poseidon said with a slight bow.

If Lin Mu hadn't intervened, she really wouldn't have known how to handle the situation.

Even if she also possessed level 99 soul power, she couldn't be like Lin Mu, daring to defy the majesty of the gods.

"No need for thanks. What I did has nothing to do with protecting your Sea God."

Lin Mu waved his hand dismissively, not taking the matter to heart at all.

However, this incident shows that the sea god is truly calm and seems completely unconcerned about the appearance of the god of wrath in his ancestral land.

Perhaps in the eyes of the sea god, the purpose of the existence of the Sea God Island was simply to find a suitable successor.

Poseidon was essentially a tool; despite possessing the Sea God's martial soul, she didn't receive the Nine Trials of the Sea God, only the Red-level assessment, as if she were preparing for the successor.

A predetermined ending, what a tragedy.

However, Lin Mu did not intend to get involved in this matter. After all, he had no connection with Poseidon and there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary, or even affect the inheritance of his disciple.

Moreover, Poseidon was the god Poseidon worshipped, so she most likely didn't want to disobey his orders.

Provided that the two conditions are met, even if this method of sacrifice is somewhat unreasonable, Lin Mu would not be foolish enough to interfere.

Who told her to be chosen by the sea god to be a tool?

Since they have enjoyed the power bestowed upon them by the sea god, they should naturally bear the corresponding responsibilities.

Whether or not to resist this fate should be her choice.

The reason Lin Mu saved Tang Chen and allowed him to live a little longer was as a form of compensation to Poseidon.

"In that case, see you again in three days."

After saying this, Poseidon turned and left without hesitation, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Lin Mu patted Tang San on the shoulder, then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Seahorse City.

Looking in the direction his master had left, Tang San lowered his eyelids, a trace of guilt still lingering in his heart. (End of Chapter)
