Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 162 The Sea God Tang San is fully prepared to reap the rewards!

Chapter 61

On the evening of the day the freshman assessment ended, Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan were summoned to the outer courtyard by Tang Ya to celebrate Huo Yuhao and his two companions' success. The celebration was ostensibly a celebration, but in reality, it was to have Huo Yuhao grill fish for everyone. It was then that Zhu Ziyang realized that the freshman Ma Xiaotao had mentioned who set up a grilled fish stall at the academy gate was actually Huo Yuhao.

It must be admitted that Huo Yuhao's grilling skills are quite good.

The group ate grilled fish while chatting happily.

"Xiao Xiao, look, Yu Hao and Wang Dong have both joined our Tang Clan. How about you join us too?" Tang Ya said to the girl with a seductive smile on her face.

"Tang Clan?" Xiao Xiao blinked, puzzled.

Tang Ya said, "That's right, it's the Tang Sect! Our Tang Sect has many unique skills, I'm sure you've seen them on Yuhao. We have a unique skill that's especially suitable for your martial soul, how about it? Want to join?"

"Okay." Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and then agreed, saying, "Senior Tang Ya, I want to learn Yu Hao's footwork."

"Hehe, no problem!" Tang Ya was in high spirits, giving Zhu Ziyang and the others a fist pump in encouragement. In Tang Ya's eyes, Xiao Xiao possessed twin martial souls—a talent that was rare even in a century. Joining the Tang Sect would definitely be a great asset!

"Senior Ziyang, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?" Wang Dong asked Zhu Ziyang, somewhat puzzled.

"No, I was just a little curious." Zhu Ziyang said with a smile, "You and Yuhao probably didn't know each other before you entered the school, right? It's incredible that you became good friends who can use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique in just three months."

"Exactly!" Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement upon hearing Zhu Ziyang's words, deeply agreeing. "When I'm with you guys, I always feel like I'm superfluous."

"Hehehe, maybe we're just destined to be brothers!" Wang Dong didn't say anything, but Huo Yuhao scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"That's the truth," Bei Bei said. "Xu Sanshi and I have been roommates for three years, but we haven't developed any Martial Soul Fusion Skill feeling."

"Go away!" Xu Sanshi, who was focused on grilling fish, said with disdain, "Who wants to develop feelings for a grown man like you? Even if we were to, it should be with my Weiwei!"

"Eat your grilled fish!" Xue Weiwei blushed slightly, picked up a grilled fish, and put it in Xu Sanshi's mouth, saying.

"To be honest, Yuhao and Wang Dong are really lucky!" Jiang Nannan exclaimed.

"That's right!" the others echoed in unison.

Zhu Ziyang smiled and didn't continue the discussion. He silently ate his grilled fish, his mind replaying what Electrolux had said earlier.

"Teacher, are you sure this Wang Dong possesses divinity?"

"I'm certain! The divinity in that child is quite similar to the divinity in the burly man you met outside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire; they most likely share the same origin!"

"If that's true, doesn't that mean there's a connection between Wang Dong and that burly man?"

"Most likely. Wang Dong's divinity is extremely subtle. If it weren't for the brief manifestation of his martial soul essence during his martial soul fusion with Huo Yuhao, I wouldn't have noticed it at all!"

"I understand now. Perhaps there's a connection between the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the strange burly man, Wang Dong, the Tang Clan, Huo Yuhao, and that god hiding behind the scenes!"

After reflecting on his experiences and combining them with what he knew, along with the title of the book "Peerless Tang Sect," Zhu Ziyang gradually pieced together a story.

Wang Dong and the burly stranger were both from the Clear Sky Sect, and both the Clear Sky Sect and the Tang Sect were backed by the Sea God Tang San. With the decline of the Tang Sect and the Clear Sky Sect's seclusion, the Sea God, as a deity of faith, could no longer reap the benefits of faith from the Douluo Continent. Therefore, the Sea God Tang San could no longer remain passive and decided to intervene to change this situation.

However, as a deity, he couldn't act personally, so he had to choose a proxy. At this time, Huo Yuhao, the chosen one, came into his view. He wanted to revitalize the Tang Sect through Huo Yuhao and complete the connection between the Tang Sect and the Clear Sky Sect by having Wang Dong, a successor of the Clear Sky Sect, join the Tang Sect.

The divinity emanating from Wang Dong was most likely bestowed by the Sea God Tang San on purpose, presumably to influence the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, enabling them to quickly establish a tacit understanding. Otherwise, it's inexplicable that two people with completely different social status, talents, and even personalities could perform a spirit fusion technique after knowing each other for only three months!

As for the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, based on what the Moon Laurel Immortal Tea had mentioned, Zhu Ziyang could conclude that the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was most likely a benefit left by the Sea God Tang San for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong!

"What a brilliant scheme!" Zhu Ziyang pondered silently, his eyes growing brighter. He realized he might have been drawn into a divine calculation. Amidst his panic, an unprecedented fighting spirit ignited within him. He was eager to see how a divine scheme would unfold. As the saying goes, "To fight against heaven, to fight against earth, to fight against gods—the joy is endless!"

Zhu Ziyang deduced a god's astonishing scheme from the smallest clues. However, he could never have imagined that his deduction was only a small part of the Sea God Tang San's ten-thousand-year plan. The deeper part of the plan was an even more terrifying, more horrifying, and more despicable act of usurping the throne.

-

In a distant, unknown, and mysterious palace, a blue-haired man sat on a throne, his eyes slightly narrowed, his hands resting on the armrests, his right fingers lightly tapping the armrest, and a faint smile on his face.

He is none other than the Sea God, Tang San!

"...It seems Xiao Qi has already made contact with the Chosen One..." Tang San murmured. "Not bad, not bad...The Tang Sect Master's martial soul isn't Blue Silver Grass anymore. No wonder we suddenly lost contact with the Tang Sect. It's a small variable, but it's alright..."

"...Let me see what kind of fortune the Chosen One possesses." Tang San opened his eyes, which shone with a blue-gold light that seemed to pierce through the starry sky and abyss, passing through layers of world barriers and landing on the creatures on the ground. "...Heh, you want to stop me? The Chosen One is already intertwined with my Tang Sect. What can you do to stop me? At most, you can only blur my vision a little."

"...A million-year-old soul beast? The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm?" Tang San murmured to himself, "Truly a chosen one, to be able to obtain such powerful assistance. Not bad, not bad!"

Tang San laughed heartily. For him, the more help the chosen one received, the more abundant and fulfilling the harvest would be in the end.

"...So the Chosen One has gathered quite a few talents around him..." Tang San continued muttering, "...Oh ho, just a few more variables whose fates have been changed, all deeply entangled with the Chosen One. Is this the influence of the Chosen One? Not bad, not bad! Two fourteen-year-old Soul Kings, we could spare one or two godhoods for them in the future, after all, they are talents of our Douluo Continent!"

"Alright, let this chosen one grow on his own from now on," Tang San said. "...We can't interfere in the affairs of the lower realms anymore; His counterattack should be coming soon... And, destruction... Heh, let you be arrogant for a while longer!"

Tang San's expression suddenly turned sinister, and he sneered repeatedly before disappearing into the palace.

-

Zhu Ziyang was unaware that he had caught the attention of the Sea God Tang San because of Huo Yuhao. At this moment, he had already embarked on his journey home.

Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, he and Jiang Nannan were already fifteen years old. This was their fourth year at Shrek Academy and their fourth vacation. On the second day of their vacation, they set off on their way back to Anyang City, speeding along without stopping in any city along the way.

"Brother, should we go find Zhenzhen now, or when we come back?" Jiang Nannan asked. At this moment, her soul power had reached level 54.

"Let's go now. I guess Yang Zhenzhen should have reached level ten by now. The sooner we help her get her soul ring, the sooner she can continue cultivating!" Zhu Ziyang replied. His soul power was level 56, and he could clearly feel that his cultivation speed had slowed down a lot, but he didn't care. Because the strength of a soul master is not only measured by soul power level!

"Okay, let's hurry up." Jiang Nannan agreed and sped up considerably.

Before long, the two arrived at Zhangyang Village for the fifth time!
