Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 224 The Stingy Tang San

"How come I never realized Tang San was so stingy?"

In the undead demiplane, Ice Emperor sat cross-legged on a giant rock, her slender fingertips casually fiddling with the helmet of Poseidon in her hand.

Her delicate, pretty face was now filled with disdain, and her tone was full of contempt for Tang San.

Su Mo leaned closer, unable to resist peeking out curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this helmet?"

Hyotei rolled his eyes upon hearing this, then tossed the helmet to Su Mo and said casually, "The helmet? There's nothing wrong with the helmet itself."

"The problem lies with Tang San. This guy doesn't want anyone to use this divine artifact at will, so he secretly put restrictions on it."

"I just checked it out. Anyone below the God level who wants to activate the divine power within this helmet not only needs to burn their own spiritual power, but their spiritual power level also cannot be lower than the Spirit Domain Realm."

Su Mo frowned slightly. "Burn your spiritual power? Wouldn't that mean Chen Xinjie would be—"

"Um.

""

Hyotei nodded, his tone carrying a hint of pity for Chen Xinjie.

"So from the moment that guy named Chen Xinjie decided to use the power of the Helmet of Poseidon, his death was inevitable."

"He risked his life for Tang San, only to be discarded after he had served his purpose; what a pathetic fellow!"

While feeling sorry for Chen Xinjie, Ice Emperor was also somewhat relieved, relieved that they had seen through Tang San's true colors.

With Tang San's strength, creating a divine artifact without any side effects would be absolutely no difficult task.

But he deliberately chose not to do that, insisting on creating a divine artifact that could only be used at the cost of the user's life.

It's obvious that Tang San did this on purpose, not wanting others to use the power of this divine artifact too easily.

If they treat their most devout believers this way, what about these soul beasts?

"Doesn't that mean this thing is basically useless?"

Su Mo's face darkened after hearing this, and he tossed the Sea God Helmet aside in disgust.

Not only does it require burning spiritual power, but it also requires spiritual power at the Spirit Domain Realm or above, making it utterly useless to Su Mo.

Moreover, given Tang San's cunning nature, he might have left some disgusting tricks hidden inside the helmet.

However, Su Mo was somewhat unwilling to waste such a divine artifact.

Seeing Su Mo's somewhat depressed expression, Hyotei immediately guessed what Su Mo was thinking.

A smug smile appeared on her pretty little face, and she proudly raised her head, practically writing "Come and ask me!" on her face.

Seeing Hyotei's smug expression, Su Mo couldn't resist reaching out and gently flicking her smooth forehead. "Speak quickly if you have something to say!"

"snort!"

Seeing Su Mo's lack of understanding, Hyotei glared at him irritably, then said reluctantly, "You can't use this artifact, but you can melt it down and use it as material to forge battle armor."

"Oh? That makes sense!"

Su Mo's eyes lit up when he heard Hyotei's suggestion.

Although the helmet itself is useless, if it can be melted down, it would be a good choice to forge a four-word battle armor.

But here's the question—what metal is this thing made of?

If Su Mo didn't know the properties of this metal, even if it were top-grade, he wouldn't dare use it to forge battle armor.

Su Mo turned to Hyotei and asked, "Hyotei, do you know what metal this helmet is made of?"

"this----"

Hyotei was speechless for a long time after Su Mo asked the question, and was unable to give an answer.

Seeing that Ice Emperor was unreliable, Su Mo was just about to ask Snow Emperor for help.

Before Su Mo could speak, Xue Di's cold voice rang out.

"Yuanlan Xuanjin".

Inside the sealed space, the Snow Empress's silver hair fell like frost and snow, and her icy blue eyes slightly lifted as she continued without any emotional fluctuation, "The Sea God's Helmet is made of Abyssal Profound Gold."

"Yuanlan Xuanjin is a special metal that exists only in the ocean of the God Realm. It is the metal with the strongest affinity for water element known in the God Realm."

After saying this, Xue Di immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking.

Su Mo had grown accustomed to Xue Di's indifferent attitude, which she would occasionally resurrect.

"Hyotei, why don't you melt it?"

As Su Mo spoke, he handed the Sea God's Helmet to Ice Emperor.

"I?"

Hyotei paused for a moment, then pointed to the tip of his nose, wondering if he had misheard.

"You want me, an ice-attribute soul beast—to melt a divine artifact? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Hyotei paused after speaking, then added cautiously, "Besides, even if I weren't ice-attribute, you don't really think I could melt a divine artifact with my current strength, do you?"

Su Mo glared at Hyotei speechlessly upon hearing this. "Then why were you making suggestions when you seemed so confident?"

Hyotei looked visibly guilty upon hearing this, her gaze darting around as she stammered, "Th-this—I thought you might have some way out—"

Su Mo took a deep breath, barely suppressing the urge to smash the helmet into her face.

"never mind."

Su Mo waved his hand, "I'll just give this to that crazy woman, Ling Zichen, later."

"Ling Zichen? Who is that?"

Hyotei was somewhat curious when they first heard the name.

"A nuclear-powered donkey!"

Su Mo replied without hesitation.

Ever since he was summoned by himself using the Impure World Reincarnation technique and thrown into the underwater research lab, Ling Zichen has completely let loose, never stopping his work for a moment, his diligence is almost frightening.

"Oh~"

Hyotei said "Oh" and then didn't ask any more questions. "So, are we going to see her now?"

Su Mo waved her hand, "No rush, let's go find Xiao Bai first!"

"I have a task to assign to her."

"OK!"

With a wave of his hand, Hyotei brought Su Mo back to the sea.

However, their current location is over a hundred kilometers away from where they fought before.

Looking at the calm sea, Su Mo took Hyotei's cool little hand and activated Flying Thunder God Technique.

Previously, to prevent Xiaobai and the others from running away, Su Mo secretly placed the Flying Thunder God Mark on Xiaobai and Bai Xiuxiu.

In the unfamiliar sea, a group of demonic great white sharks poked their heads out, their tiny, beady eyes all fixed on the location of Poseidon Island.

They were none other than Xiaobai and the others who had just fled for their lives under Su Mo's orders.

Thinking of the aftershocks of the explosion on Poseidon Island, Bai Xiuxiu shrank back in fear and quickly swam to her mother, Xiaobai, whispering, "Mom, isn't it a bit wrong of us to betray Poseidon Island like this?"

Looking back on her 90,000-year life as a shark, this was the first time she had ever seen such a terrifying sight.

Xiaobai knew she was in the wrong, but there was nothing she could do about it, so she could only explain very gently, "Xiuxiu, don't overthink it."

"We are soul beasts, and ultimately, we are on a different path from humans."

Seeing this, Bai Xiuxiu wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Xiaobai interrupted her, "Xiuxiu, you must remember that from today onwards we are no longer believers of the Sea God."
