Douro Continent

Chapter 655, Part 286: The Divine Technique of the Haotian Sect, the Great Sumeru Hammer

Tang San concluded by saying that there was only one way to breach Jialing Pass. This immediately ignited a glint in Xue Beng's eyes, and she eagerly asked him a question.

For Xue Beng, this all-out attack by the Heaven Dou Empire, coupled with the support of the Star Luo Empire's army, was aimed at crushing the Spirit Empire before it could consolidate its power. Otherwise, if the Spirit Empire were to truly develop and possess a large number of Soul Masters, it would be a disaster for both empires. Seeing his army blocked at Jialing Pass, how could he not be anxious? Once Jialing Pass was breached, the Spirit Empire would have no defensible position. In terms of overall strength, it simply couldn't compete with the two great empires!

Tang San glanced at the dark trident of the Sea God in his hand, then looked at Xue Beng. "Your Majesty, this method must be kept secret. I can only tell you."

Xue Beng paused for a moment, then nodded and said to the generals in the camp, "All of you may go and rest."

Although the generals shared the same doubts and were even more curious about what good method Tang San had, their blind trust in him stemmed from his strength. Hearing his words, their confidence surged, and none of them said anything more before immediately leaving. Marshal Ge Long also gave Tang San a deep look before departing the tent.

Just as Tang Hao was about to leave with Tang Xiao, Tang San stopped him, saying, "Uncle, Father, Teacher, my method still requires your cooperation. So you all need to know that..."

The master looked intently at Tang San, "Little San, if I'm not mistaken, you're talking about becoming a god at level 100, right?"

Tang San had no need to hide anything from his master; he had already told this teacher, who treated him like a father, about everything he had experienced on Seagod Island.

After hearing the master's words, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao showed a look of realization, while Xue Beng looked completely bewildered.

Tang San said, "Your Majesty, you yourself are a Soul Master. You naturally know that every ten levels we Soul Masters reach, our strength will leap forward by obtaining a Soul Ring."

Avalanche nodded, his confused eyes gradually clearing, then widening in surprise. "Teacher, you mean, level 100…"

Tang San said, "For Soul Masters, breaking through level ninety is already a lifelong dream, becoming a Title Douluo. Back when the Spirit Empire was still the Spirit Hall, all Title Douluos could have their names recorded in the Douluo Hall. However, being a Title Douluo is not the limit of a Soul Master's cultivation. The true limit is godhood, which means breaking through level one hundred in Soul Power. Level one hundred is a major hurdle. If you can break through, then even facing dozens of Title Douluos at the same time is no problem. You should also know that before I left a few years ago, my strength was far less than it is now. Actually, it was because..." He found me a legacy left behind by a deity, making me his successor and giving me the chance to reach level 100. This trident is the weapon he bestowed upon me. His deity's name is Sea God. Today, I officially used the Sea God's power to transform the moat water into my attack power. However, I still have two final hurdles to overcome before I can become the Sea God. The method I'm about to describe is to complete these final two hurdles. Once I truly become the Sea God, then conquering Jialing Pass will no longer be a problem, and the Martial Soul Empire will likely have no power to stop me.

Tang San expressed his thoughts in the simplest way possible, but his words had a tremendous impact on Xue Beng. As an emperor, he had reached the pinnacle of humanity, and upon suddenly hearing that gods truly existed, he was so shocked that he was almost numb.

"Teacher..., does a god really exist in this world? An omnipotent god? An immortal god?" Xue Beng's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with burning desire as he looked at Tang San.

Tang San sighed inwardly, "After all, Xue Beng is just an ordinary person!"

"Your Majesty need not overthink it. In truth, 'god' and 'Douluo' are merely titles. 'God' refers to a powerful human being, far surpassing ordinary humans, not to someone omnipotent. As far as I know, at least three gods have appeared on the Douluo Continent. If they were truly immortal and omnipotent, then the Douluo Continent should be under their rule now. How could there be a Star Luo Empire or a Heaven Dou Empire?"

After hearing Tang San's explanation, Xue Beng gradually calmed down, but his eyes still flickered with doubt. "Teacher, can you tell me just how powerful a god can be?"

Tang San shook his head and said, "I don't know, and I'm afraid no one can answer this question for you. Because there haven't been any gods in our world for a very long time. However, breaking through the level 100 bottleneck will definitely increase one's strength greatly. That's why I said that if I can become the Sea God, I'm confident I can help His Majesty conquer Jialing Pass."

Xue Beng thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, how long will you be gone, and what are the chances of success? I don't want you to take risks for the sake of the empire." Although he was shocked by Tang San's words, he could fully imagine how great the challenge would be to break through to level 100 and become a god; it was by no means easy.

Watching the avalanche, Tang San couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although the avalanche was concerned for him, the burning intensity in his eyes betrayed his true feelings. But it was understandable; if the Heaven Dou Empire had a god-level expert, unifying the continent would no longer be just a dream. Besides, he was still Tang San's disciple; it was impossible for him not to yearn for godhood.

He smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty need not worry. I am at least 70% confident of success. I will return in one to three months."

Xue Beng's eyes regained some strength, and he hurriedly said, "In that case, the future of the empire depends on you, Master. Master, please feel free to ask for anything you need, and I will grant it. However, with your departure, I'm afraid our camp will..."

Tang Hao said calmly, "Your Majesty, rest assured. With us here, if we only seek to avoid mistakes rather than achieve merit, the Martial Soul Empire will find it difficult to accomplish anything."

Xue Beng looked at Tang Hao, and, recalling the terrifying strength he had displayed on the city wall earlier, breathed a slight sigh of relief. "In that case, thank you for your trouble, teacher. When do you plan to leave, teacher?"

Tang San said, "Once my injuries have healed a bit, I will set off with my companions. I will need the help of my six companions to inherit the Sea God's position."

Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Grandmaster followed Tang San back to his own tent.

"Little San, are you really sure you want to inherit the Sea God's position?" the master asked with some concern.

Tang San sighed softly and said, "Teacher, you know I have no other choice. It's not just because of the current war; the Nine Trials of the Sea God were something I had to complete, but I didn't expect them to come so soon. The Spirit Empire is powerful, and our current strength is far from enough to deal with them. Once Qian Daoliu arrives, it won't be easy for us to hold our ground."

Tang Hao frowned and said, "Becoming a god at level 100 is incredibly difficult. Even with your great-grandfather's talent, it took him many years to achieve it. And he was in such a state in the Slaughter Capital. Little San, you're still young, and I don't want you to be too reckless. Didn't you say that the eighth trial takes a full ten years? You need more foundation."

Tang San's eyes shone with determination. "Dad, I understand your concerns, but we have to face what we have to face. You can imagine how terrifying god-level power must be. Even if my soul power increases further, the situation probably won't change much. It's better to go all in and take advantage of this opportunity to improve my strength. My situation is different from our ancestors'. I've already passed the Seven Trials of the Sea God, and with the help of the Sea God's Trident and my companions, my 70% success rate with Avalanche wasn't an exaggeration. Besides, don't forget, I have twin martial souls. Before inheriting the Sea God's divine power, I'll complete the soul rings for the Clear Sky Hammer. The Sea God's Light allows my body to fully absorb the attributes boosted by twin martial souls. Judging from my physical condition, this already surpasses the limits of human capabilities. Therefore, I believe I can succeed."

Tang Hao slowly nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you must succeed. This isn't just your business. The Heaven Dou Empire has nothing to do with us, and I can let go of the grudge against the Spirit Empire. But you must always remember that you are my and your mother's only son, and you are Grandmaster's only disciple."

Tang San felt a surge of warmth in his heart as his father's two large hands gripped his shoulders. A warm current flowed slowly into his body, nourishing his meridians. Stimulated by Tang Hao's soul power, Tang San's recovery speed increased even further.

The master nodded repeatedly upon hearing Tang Hao's words, saying, "The Clear Sky Douluo is right. In our hearts, your life is the most important thing; everything else is meaningless. There's one more thing I need to remind you. Little San, you saw it today too. The Clear Sky Douluo was able to break through that Spirit Empire's Elder with his Clear Sky Hammer, whose soul power was at level ninety-eight. Do you know why?"

Tang San was taken aback and looked at his father. At this moment, Tang Hao had already sensed Tang San's physical condition and stopped inputting soul power into him. After all, his soul power and Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong were not from the same source. Moreover, Tang San's physical condition had improved a lot at this time, which made Tang Hao sigh inwardly. His son's body was indeed no longer entirely within the human realm.

Tang San thought for a moment and said, "Dad, you didn't use any spirit skills at the time. You only used your Martial Soul True Body later to break through Golden Crocodile Douluo's defense. I was right behind you at the time, and I could feel that your power was terrifying after you used your Martial Soul True Body. It wasn't just the weight, but also the explosive power. Every hammer blow, combined with your powerful aura, made your opponent feel helpless. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have been able to stop it either. I might have had a chance only because of the weight of the Sea God Trident."

At this moment, Tang Hao looked at Tang Xiao beside him, his eyes revealing a questioning light.

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Pass it on to him. Besides Xiao San, who else has the right to inherit Haotian Douluo's secret techniques? Moreover, even Grandfather passed the Haotian Token to Xiao San. This means that he approved of it. Xiao San will face many situations in the future. Passing it on to him will give him another way to protect himself."

Tang Hao nodded, and the master beside him smiled slightly, as if he had already anticipated this scene. "Then I'll go out first."

Tang Xiao laughed and patted the master on the shoulder, "Master, you've really gone to great lengths for Xiao San! From now on, don't call us Douluo anymore. Without you, there would be no Xiao San today. From now on, you're our brother, and we'll call each other brothers."

The master smiled and said, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Although Tang San was puzzled about what his father wanted to pass on to him, he still said to the Grandmaster, "Master, please arrange another place for the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect to stay, so that they do not get close to the disciples of my Tang Sect."

The master naturally understood his meaning. Although they were fighting side by side today, the resentment that the four clans harbored towards the Clear Sky Sect back then was too deep to be easily resolved. Tang San didn't have much time to deal with this matter now, so he could only separate them to avoid conflict. Moreover, after the recent battle, the Tang Sect disciples were even more loyal to Tang San, and unless special circumstances arose, the four clan leaders would definitely restrain their own disciples.

Master and Tang Xiao left the main tent, also blocking Ah Yin and Xiao Wu who had come upon hearing the news, leaving only Tang San and his son Tang Hao inside.

Tang Hao sat cross-legged opposite Tang San, his gaze fixed intently on his son. "Since the existence of our Clear Sky Sect, we have had a special cultivation method passed down through generations. Every generation of Clear Sky Sect disciples who inherit this cultivation method will receive the title of Clear Sky upon breaking through to level ninety. This is the origin of the title Clear Sky Douluo. And almost all the disciples who have held this title throughout history have become the sect leader."

At this point, Tang Hao's eyes dimmed slightly. "Speaking of which, the word 'almost' originated from me. It was only in my generation that this inheritance failed to take hold. Back then, my grandfather, the previous generation's Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Chen, passed the position of sect leader to my father, your grandfather. However, he did not pass on the Clear Sky Douluo's exclusive cultivation method to him. Instead, he passed it on to me, the next generation. Both my grandfather and father had already designated me as the next successor of the Clear Sky Sect at that moment. I did not disappoint them, constantly breaking the Clear Sky Sect's records for soul power advancement, becoming the youngest powerhouse in the Clear Sky Sect, and even in the entire continent's soul master world."

At this point, Tang Hao's eyes softened slightly as he looked at his son, a hint of pride in his eyes. "Of course, you've broken all my records. I'm very gratified, but also ashamed. I've never been a good father; the master has done far more for you than I have."

"Dad, why are you saying all this? If it weren't for you, how could I exist? Haven't I said it before? The debt of gratitude a child owes for raising and giving birth to their parents is something that a child can never repay in a lifetime. Besides, you had no choice in the situation. If it were me, I might not have fared as well as you."

Tang Hao took a deep breath and said with satisfaction, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. Our Haotian Sect's special cultivation method can only be passed down to one person per generation. It's not that we're being stingy, but rather that this cultivation method has extremely high requirements for the cultivator. Unless one is a genius with exceptional talent, it is absolutely impossible to cultivate successfully, and one's life will be in danger. This cultivation method is called the Great Sumeru Hammer."

Tang San was taken aback. He knew that Sumeru and Mustard Seed were two opposite terms. Sumeru represented infinity, while Mustard Seed represented infinity. Just like the third realm of his Purple Demon Eye, Mustard Seed, it meant being able to see infinitely small objects through the Purple Demon Eye. And this Great Sumeru Hammer Technique of the Clear Sky Hammer clearly referred to a special hammer technique that unleashed the power of the Clear Sky Hammer to an infinite degree.

Tang Hao didn't rush to explain, but quietly waited for his son to digest the words "Great Sumeru Hammer." After a long while, he said, "Actually, with your original cultivation path, plus your Sea God Trident, that's already enough. But I've thought about it carefully, and the Great Sumeru Hammer is still very useful to you. You already have enough skills, whether it's spirit rings or spirit bone skills. And your Clear Sky Hammer spirit has only just begun to acquire spirit rings. Before inheriting the Sea God's position, you'll need to complete its spirit rings as well. In that case, your Clear Sky Hammer will need many spirit skills. Although you are a control-type spirit master, it's impossible to perfectly allocate all your skills at all times. The Great Sumeru Hammer can help you simplify things."

A thought flashed through Tang San's mind: "Dad, could it be that your immense power and aura come from your spirit rings?"

Tang Hao smiled with satisfaction. "As expected of my son, he understands immediately. That's right, in a sense, my power comes from my spirit rings. Let alone this Golden Crocodile Douluo today, even if Qian Daoliu himself came after my strength was restored, he might not be able to defeat me. Back then, when I had just broken through to level ninety, I used this Great Sumeru Hammer to break through the encirclement of many powerful figures from the Spirit Hall and even severely injured the Pope of that generation of the Spirit Hall. You can imagine how powerful this unique skill of our Clear Sky Sect is."

"The Great Sumeru Hammer, theoretically speaking, is the condensation of all one's spirit rings into one, injecting them all into the Clear Sky Hammer, transforming them into the purest power and attack force. This exponentially increases one's own strength, forcibly breaking through all constraints and unleashing power surpassing one's own spirit power. It follows the path of overwhelming force; no matter how many spirit skills or techniques an opponent possesses, they cannot contend with the purest power and attack force of my Clear Sky Hammer. Theoretically, the Great Sumeru Hammer of the Clear Sky Douluo possesses infinite power. Moreover, the Great Sumeru Hammer also..." "A powerful skill. Even Qian Daoliu would have to retreat with it. Back then, I severely injured the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, precisely by using this special skill on the Great Sumeru Hammer. However, this skill also causes immense damage to the user; it should never be used lightly unless in a critical moment. But your physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary people, so you should be able to withstand it. If you can become a Sea God, then you should be able to use this ultimate technique perfectly. Your great-grandfather once said that our Haotian Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer was originally meant to be a divine skill."

"A divine skill?" Tang San was taken aback, looking at his father with a sense of shock.

Tang Hao said solemnly, "It's a formal divine skill. Your great-grandfather said that only by breaking through level 100 can one perfectly unleash the Great Sumeru Hammer. With your current strength, you don't need to practice deliberately. I will teach you the cultivation method. After you memorize it, it's not too late to start practicing after your body recovers."

Inside the tent, the sounds suddenly ceased. Tang Hao, relying on his powerful soul force, forced the sound into a thread and slowly transmitted the incantation of the Clear Sky Sect's divine technique to Tang San. With Tang San's mental strength, he only needed to read it once to memorize it. After carefully reading the incantation once, he was greatly shocked and almost lost his composure.

"This...this isn't suicide?" Tang San exclaimed.

Tang Hao's face darkened, and he shouted, "Shut up, stay true to yourself, and think carefully."

Tang San's expression changed slightly. His mental energy had been greatly depleted earlier, which had created a gap. His father's imposing presence sent a chill down his spine. He quickly regained his composure and, upon carefully sensing the cultivation method of the Great Sumeru Hammer, he gained a different understanding. However, the shock in his heart did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it grew stronger.

……

Jialing Pass.

"What did you say?" Bibi Dong, suppressing her weakness, slammed her hand on the table and stood up, glaring angrily at the six great elders, including Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a deep voice, "The Grand Elder has ordered you to return to Spirit City. Do I need to repeat myself a third time?"

Bibi Dong's ample chest heaved violently, her eyes blazing with rage, yet she could not retaliate against the six elders before her. "Second Elder, do not forget, I am the supreme ruler of the Martial Soul Empire."

Golden Crocodile Douluo sneered, "Insolence. Bibi Dong, don't forget, the Spirit Empire belongs to our Spirit Hall. According to the rules of the Spirit Hall, the Elder Hall has the right to depose the Pope, and as elders of the Elder Hall, we have decision-making power within the Elder Hall. You dare to disobey the Grand Elder's orders?"

Bibi Dong certainly dared to do so. She had never taken the Elder Hall seriously. All along, she had been secretly undermining its power. Most of the non-respected Title Douluos had already been brought under her command, and the elders were no longer involved in affairs. It could be said that she had long since truly controlled the entire Spirit Hall. This led to her series of actions, including annihilating the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, severely damaging the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, re-electing the seven major clans, and establishing the Spirit Empire. She never expected that the elders, led by Qian Daoliu, would launch an attack at this time, seizing power while she was at her weakest.

"You..." Bibi Dong couldn't catch her breath, her vision went black, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Hu Liena, who was beside her, quickly stepped forward and supported her.

Golden Crocodile Douluo coldly said, "Look at the magnitude of the crisis you've brought to the empire. If we hadn't arrived in time, Jialing Pass would probably have fallen to the Heaven Dou Empire. In that case, our Spirit Hall would have been destroyed in your hands. But for this grave mistake, we can remove you from your position as Pope. The Grand Elder is only sending you back to the Papal Palace to reflect on your actions, which is already showing mercy. We will temporarily take over command here and await the Grand Elder's arrival."

"The Grand Elder is coming too?" Bibi Dong forced herself to calm down. Years of experience in a position of power had made her intolerant of dissenting voices, but she was by no means reckless. The current situation was unfavorable, and she forced herself to remain calm; a direct confrontation with the Elders would be extremely unwise. Upon hearing that Qian Daoliu was also coming to Jialing Pass, Bibi Dong's expression truly changed. If there was anyone in the Spirit Hall she feared, it was only Qian Daoliu.

The Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, sneered, "Now, do you have anything else to say?"

A cold glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. "Alright, I'll return to the Papal Palace. Nana, let's go."

Supported by Hu Liena, Bibi Dong left with intense resentment. The six elders weren't afraid of any tricks she might play; their absolute strength was undeniable, and they weren't worried about what Bibi Dong might do. Without strength, everything was in vain. Even if Bibi Dong recovered all her power, it would be impossible for her to deal with all six of them.

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena gradually moved out of the six people's perception range. The Fourth Elder said to Golden Crocodile Douluo, "Second Brother, why didn't the Grand Elder let us deal with this woman? This woman is not only extremely ambitious, but also..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned, raised his hand to stop the Fourth Elder from continuing, "The Grand Elder naturally has his reasons, don't ask too many questions. What we need to do now is help Miss control the Spirit Empire and wait for her to take control of the entire empire. I also dislike Bibi Dong, but since the Grand Elder forbids us from killing her, we can only obey. This woman's talent is undeniable; twin spirits, even I am no match for her at her peak. However, as long as Miss can complete the final test and become the Angel God, whether Bibi Dong exists or not will be irrelevant. At that time, our Spirit Empire will surely sweep across the continent and complete the unification. Alright, we need to get busy now. Integrate the army and the spirit master legion, and reinforce the fortifications. Before Miss arrives, we must guard Jialing Pass well. Tang San and Tang Hao are not easy opponents. We must be careful at all times."

The Thousand-Pound Douluo said with a solemn expression, "Second Brother, should we launch a surprise attack on the Heaven Dou Empire's camp and cause them some trouble?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo waved his hand and said, "Don't cause any unnecessary trouble. Have you forgotten what the Grand Elder instructed? For us, the most important thing is to preserve the foundation of the Spirit Empire and accumulate enough strength to await Miss's command. We cannot let short-term gains affect the overall situation. Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, you two keep an eye on those elders. They probably won't dare to make any moves, but if they don't know what's good for them, then make an example of them."

"Yes."

The group of retainers quietly departed. Golden Crocodile Douluo slowly stood up, walked out of the tent, and raised his hand to look at the silent night sky. His heart was far from calm. He could never forget the scene of facing Tang Hao's enormous Clear Sky Hammer during the daytime earlier that day.

Haotian Douluo, what a Haotian Douluo! Not completely eradicating the Haotian Sect back then has ultimately left behind a lingering threat. No wonder the Grand Elder said the Haotian Sect was our Spirit Hall's true adversary. I just wonder if the previous generation's Haotian Douluo is still alive. Miss, you must break through this final trial! Only by becoming the Angel God can we fear no opponent.

Three days later. The Heavenly Dou Empire's main camp.

A deep, resonant breath, like the roar of a dragon or the howl of a tiger, echoed long and deep. Thick white mist condensed above Tang San's head, forming three enormous white flowers. This was the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm.

Although he had expended a great deal of energy that day, Tang San, thanks to his formidable physique, recovered in just one day. He also discovered that his cultivation had improved after such extreme exertion. The pressure was like the finest forging hammer, refining his body. Therefore, he didn't rush to leave the Heaven Dou Empire's military camp but continued his cultivation.

His body was now entirely golden, and even the internal energy of his Xuan Tian Gong was tinged with a faint golden hue within its whiteness. That unique resilience filled Tang San with a sense of power. He had only recently reached level ninety-three, and it was impossible for his soul power to break through to the next level, but the overall improvement was still quite noticeable.

The battlefield is a place that easily stimulates one's plans. The grand scale of the war, the powerful enemy—the pressure was different from what he experienced on Seagod Island. Especially since Tang San had learned the cultivation method of the Great Sumeru Hammer from his father. He hadn't actually practiced it yet, but through continuous training, he was gradually integrating and mastering the Great Sumeru Hammer's cultivation method. Only by thoroughly understanding it could he avoid mistakes when truly applying it.

After a slight exhalation, Tang San suddenly inhaled through his mouth and nose, swallowing the white mist around him like a whale sucking in water. The powerful suction caused a series of shrill sounds to echo in the air.

With his soul power returning to his body, Tang San's face revealed a faint, crystalline glow. His handsome face shimmered with a precious light, and as he sat there, his noble aura gave off an aura that was impossible to look directly at.

Outside the tent, Xiao Wu peeked inside through a small sliver of the curtain, the sounds emanating from within causing her concern. Looking at Tang San, who sat cross-legged, his entire body radiating a divine light, her gaze became somewhat mesmerized. She could clearly see that Tang San's strength had improved once again. Her joy at Tang San's increased cultivation surpassed even her own own.

Recently, the benefits Xiao Wu gained from her training on Seagod Island have gradually become apparent. After her soul power skyrocketed to level 76, her cultivation speed became incredibly fast. Keep in mind, she was once a 100,000-year-old soul beast, meaning her cultivation speed was much faster than that of ordinary human soul masters. Coupled with Tang San's help and the various advantages she received on Seagod Island, these benefits are now fully manifesting. With another breakthrough in a short period, her soul power has already reached level 77. Simultaneously, after the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the Acacia Heartbreak Red medicine's power fully permeated her body, her physique has reached another level.

It can be said that within the entire Heaven Dou Empire camp, if Tang San ranked first in terms of physical strength, then Xiao Wu was definitely second. Even Tang San was unaware that, under the influence of the Acacia Heartbreak Red, Xiao Wu's body had gradually transcended the human realm and entered the level of a god. Only after achieving complete spiritual-physical fusion and resurrection did the Acacia Heartbreak Red, a divine item among divine items, fully unleash its power.

"Xiao Wu, come here." Tang San slowly opened his eyes, waking up from his cultivation. His gaze was very peaceful, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze. He no longer had his former domineering nature. Apart from looking more gentle, he seemed no different from an ordinary person.

Seeing Tang San's gaze, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart. He had actually reached such a level of enlightenment, a return to simplicity. No wonder even Bibi Dong was defeated by him in two battles.

"Brother, are you alright now?" Xiao Wu walked into the tent and came to Tang San in a few steps.

Tang San reached out and pulled her into his arms, kissing her delicate face repeatedly. "I'm fine now. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Xiao Wu wrapped her arms around Tang San's waist and pressed her face against his chest. "Brother, I feel so happy to be with you all the time."

Tang San hugged her tighter and sighed softly, "In order to become the Sea God as soon as possible, I'm afraid we'll have to separate for the time being."

"What?" Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head and looked at Tang San in surprise.
