Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 418 The Unlucky Three Brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King

"You still have the nerve to ask why? I've become like this because of you and your son."

"Ever since I entered Notting Academy, I have been targeted by your father... When I was captured by Pope Bibi Dong and his men, your father Tang Hao did not make a move, his purpose being to make me sacrifice myself for you."

"So later I willingly sacrificed myself to Ye Liangchen, so that you and your son would end up with nothing."

Xiao Wu vividly recounted everything Tang Hao had said to her when they met in Heaven Dou City, letting Tang San know exactly what kind of person his father was.

"No! That's not how it is... Xiao Wu, you're lying to me, aren't you?"

Tang San shook his head frantically. Xiao Wu's words, which were both deadly and psychologically damaging, had made him question the meaning of life.

"It is my honor to offer sacrifice to Ye Liangchen, and it is also my only chance. When he becomes a god in the future, he will rebuild my physical body. At that time, I am willing to be a maid and serve him forever."

Seeing that Tang San was about to go crazy, Xiao Wu directly voiced her thoughts, further demoralizing him.

"Ah...! Xiao Wu! No... I will become a god someday, and I will resurrect you too."

Watching Xiao Wu tenderly express her loyalty to Ye Liangchen, Tang San's heart was breaking; it hurt too much.

"Haha...! You resurrected me? You must be dreaming!"

Xiao Wu was immediately amused by Tang San's ridiculous idea.

"Wow! Xiao Wu's move was really ruthless!"

"This is absolutely devastating!"

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun felt a sense of schadenfreude as they watched Xiao Wu drive Tang San crazy.

"Little San, don't listen to Xiao Wu's nonsense. She's a soul beast, we're humans."

"Since ancient times, soul beasts and humans have been irreconcilable enemies, and your father did the right thing."

Just then, Yu Xiaogang waddled over to Tang San and reminded him not to take Xiao Wu's words to heart.

"Yu Xiaogang, it seems your injuries aren't serious enough."

"You ignorant and arrogant farting master, you're like a frog in a well, forever unaware of the vastness of the sky."

"Go on..."

Ye Liangchen waved his hand and used his soul power to slap Yu Xiaogang away.

"Pfft..."

Whether Ye Liangchen did it intentionally or unintentionally, when Yu Xiaogang fell to the ground, he landed squarely on the small cone-shaped rock, inflicting a new injury on his old one before it had even healed.

"Awooo..."

The intense pain caused Yu Xiaogang to let out another pig-like scream; it hurt too much.

"Hiss! The master's probably about to crack open..."

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others could no longer bear to watch. They thought to themselves: Does Yu Xiaogang have masochistic tendencies? He's provoking Ye Liangchen time and time again. Isn't he just asking for a beating?

"Master, eat this sausage quickly."

Oscar shook his head helplessly, made another recovery sausage, stuffed it into the other person's mouth, and then pulled Yu Xiaogang up.

"Hahaha……!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's miserable state, Xiaowu burst into laughter, feeling more relieved than ever before.

"Ye Liangchen, prepare to die."

"Rakshasa Demon Scythe: Slash".

Upon seeing this, Tang San immediately summoned his divine weapon and slashed at Ye Liangchen.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, retreat."

When Ye Liangchen saw that Da Ming and Er Ming were about to step forward to meet the enemy, he immediately told them to step back.

"Opening Mountain Seal"

Then Ye Liangchen casually formed a golden seal and slapped it towards Tang San.

"Buzz..."

"Bang…"

The golden seal, hundreds of meters long, crashed with immense force, sending Tang San flying dozens of meters away.

"Tang San, you're courting death again! Run away now!"

At the critical moment, Rakshasa's divine sense was restored, blocking Ye Liangchen's Mountain-Opening Seal.

"Whoosh..."

Tang San immediately sped towards the outer edge of the Lake of Life; if he didn't escape now, his life would be in danger.

"Third Brother has run away again?"

"Let's hurry up and leave!"

Upon seeing this, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, Yu Xiaogang, and the others immediately and frantically chased after Tang San.

"Ye Liangchen, why didn't you kill them?"

Da Ming and Er Ming couldn't understand why Ye Liangchen, who clearly had the absolute strength to kill Tang San and his group, let them escape.

"Besides Yu Xiaogang, they have also been chosen as successors by the gods of the divine realm, and they all have soul imprints planted by the gods. The opportunity to kill them is not yet ripe."

"Did you see the huge seal I just unleashed? That was my divine skill, with the power to split mountains and shatter rocks. Under normal circumstances, Tang San would have been either dead or crippled. The reason he's still alive is because the divine power within the artifact in his hand has been restored, activating the artifact and blocking that attack for him."

Ye Liangchen slowly explained that before those demons and monsters in the God Realm officially passed on their divine positions to the Shrek brothers, there was no need to kill them for the time being, lest they become dissatisfied and resort to underhanded tactics.

"So that's how it is." Da Ming and Er Ming suddenly realized that the god was indeed very powerful.

"Ye Liangchen, what if Tang San and the others come to kill Da Ming and Er Ming later?"

Seeing this, Xiao Wu was very worried about the safety of Daming and Erming.

"Sister Xiaowu, don't worry! The adults deep within the Lake of Life might be watching!"

"They didn't make a move this time because Ye Liangchen was here."

Da Ming and Er Ming told Xiao Wu not to worry, as the two brothers were strong enough to protect themselves.

"Xiao Wu, go back to your spirit rings first."

"Daming, Erming, I'm leaving now."

Ye Liangchen put away his spirit rings, bid farewell to the two spirit beasts, and then flew away into the distance.

"Whoosh..."

Just after Ye Liangchen left, Di Tian appeared beside Da Ming and Er Ming.

"grown ups…"

The two soul beasts immediately bowed respectfully to Di Tian.

"What did Xiao Chen say?" Di Tian asked the two soul beasts curiously.

"Young Master Ye said..."

Upon seeing this, Da Ming immediately relayed Ye Liangchen's words to Di Tian without missing a single one.

"In that case, we'll follow his arrangements. You all guard this place well, and if you encounter a strong enemy in the future and can't defeat them, immediately ask us for help."

"Whoosh..."

Di Tian nodded, gave a few instructions, and then returned to the depths of the Lake of Life.

……

After leaving the Lake of Life, Ye Liangchen gathered some spiritual herbs in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Forest.

"Whoosh..."

After working for an hour, Ye Liangchen flew directly to an altitude of a thousand meters, preparing to leave the Star Dou Forest.

"Huh! Could it be Tang San and his group again?"

Just then, Ye Liangchen sensed a powerful fluctuation of soul power coming from several kilometers away, as if powerful figures were fighting.

"Whoosh..."

Upon seeing this, Ye Liangchen immediately flew in that direction to see who it was.

When Ye Liangchen arrived outside a valley, he found Tang San absorbing a soul ring inside, with the corpse of a three-headed Thousand-Pound Ant lying beside him.

"Ahhh..."

Tang San was absorbing two spirit rings at the same time. Both were black with a hint of red. It was obvious that these two spirit rings were close to 100,000 years old. The powerful energy turned him into a bloody mess, with blood gushing from his mouth, nose, and ears.

"The mistress..."

"Third Young Master..."

Yu Xiaogang and Tailong were pacing anxiously nearby, but they dared not interrupt Tang San.

"Buzz..."

At the critical moment, the divine power within Tang San's Rakshasa Scythe activated, unleashing a black divine force that flowed into his body, allowing him to withstand the attack.

Because Tang San can only absorb two spirit rings at the moment, the remaining spirit ring keeps floating on the corpse of the Thousand-Pound Ant King next to him, flashing on and off.

"What a pity about this spirit ring..."

Dai Mubai, Yu Xiaogang, and the others looked at the nearly 100,000-year-old soul ring and shook their heads, sighing.

"Holy crap! Isn't that the three-headed Thousand-Pound Emperor that Tang San killed in the original story? He's got some serious luck."

Ye Liangchen, who was hiding on the mountaintop outside the valley, was very surprised to see the three corpses of the Thousand-Pound Ants next to Tang San.

"That black and red spirit ring is also quite good; I should keep it."

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen rushed into the valley, placed his hand on the spirit ring, and with a thought, put it directly into his game inventory.

"Ye... Ye Liangchen?"

The sudden turn of events completely terrified Dai Mubai and the others.

"Ye Liangchen...you...you actually managed to put away the spirit ring?"

Yu Xiaogang clearly saw Ye Liangchen place his hand on the soul ring, and then the soul ring disappeared into thin air. Such a method was simply unheard of.

"This world is too small; I'll run into you everywhere I go."

Seeing Dai Mubai and the others stunned by him, Ye Liangchen wondered: Am I that scary?

"You guys have fun! I'm leaving now."

"Whoosh..."

Then Ye Liangchen soared into the sky and flew away into the distance, hiding on a high mountain in the distance to see what these guys would do next.

"Appearing without a trace and disappearing without a trace, is this his true power?"

"Boss Dai, do you still have the confidence to challenge him?"

Ma Hongjun and Oscar looked at Dai Mubai and thought that this guy's idea of ​​challenging Ye Liangchen was simply wishful thinking.

"We can't beat them."

Dai Mubai quickly shook his head, throwing his boastful words from a while ago to the winds.

"Mu Bai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ye Liangchen is only relying on his superior strength. You are also inheritors of the divine position, and you can also become peerless powerhouses in the future."

"Xiao San is a dual-god inheritor; her strength will definitely surpass Ye Liangchen's in the future..."

When Yu Xiaogang saw that Dai Mubai and the other two were starting to back down, he immediately launched into a long speech of inspirational words for them.

"Master, have you ever considered that even if the mistress becomes a god, she still wouldn't be able to defeat Ye Liangchen?"

"Since Xiao San faced Ye Liangchen in the Soul Master Competition, he has never won a single battle, and each defeat has been more devastating than the last."

At this moment, Oscar offered his opinion, his intuition telling him that even if Tang San achieved dual godhood, he still couldn't defeat Ye Liangchen.

"Nonsense, Xiao San has the inheritance of two gods, he will definitely win. Ye Liangchen is only higher in soul power than us right now."

"Have you noticed? Ye Liangchen is hesitant to kill you now because he's worried about the god behind you. This is an opportunity for us to grow, so everyone should seize the time to cultivate diligently..."

Yu Xiaogang glared at Oscar. Tang San was his prized student and his hope for revenge, and he would not allow anyone to question him.

"Master, you are right."

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun recalled that Tang San had escaped from Ye Liangchen's clutches both times by relying on the divine power within the artifacts. Clearly, Ye Liangchen didn't want to offend the gods behind everyone, which was why he left.

"As expected of the farting master, you actually guessed right."

On a mountain peak a kilometer away, Ye Liangchen overheard the conversation between Yu Xiaogang and his group through his divine sense, which surprised him quite a bit.

"Whoosh..."

As time went by, two hours later, Tang San finally absorbed the two spirit rings of the Thousand-Pound Ant King, and his spirit power broke through to level 97.

"Mistress, you succeeded?"

"Third Young Master,..."

When Yu Xiaogang and his lackey Tailong saw that the two black and red spirit rings on Tang San's body had stopped fluctuating, they immediately rushed over excitedly.

"Yes, I have successfully reached level 97."

Tang San nodded excitedly. Reaching level 97 in soul power made him feel very comfortable.

"Xiao San, Ye Liangchen came by again just now. I don't know what method he used, but he took away that nearly 100,000-year-old Thousand-Pound Ant King Soul Ring."

"Ye Liangchen's methods are too miraculous, almost like a god's..."

Just as Tang San was feeling happy, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun came over and told him about Ye Liangchen's amazing actions earlier.

"They can even take away spirit rings?"

"Could he also possess a divine artifact? That must be it."

Upon hearing that Ye Liangchen possessed such abilities, Tang San was immediately stunned. Then, upon reflection, he realized that the prodigy had also obtained a divine inheritance, so it was quite normal for him to possess a divine artifact.

"Can your artifact take away a spirit ring?" Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others asked with some skepticism.

"No! The artifacts have different functions; perhaps his artifact is a bit more special."

"Never mind him for now. My soul power has reached level 97. It's time to go to the Haotian Sect and complete the eighth trial."

After thinking about it for a while, Tang San realized that he had to remove the Clear Sky Sect from the list of successful trials on the continent in order to complete the eighth trial. So he decided to attack the Clear Sky Sect.
