Tang San Gets Beaten Up a Second Time, Fate Points Gained

Meanwhile, Mu En frowned when he saw another disheveled Sea God Tang San appear.

One of the two Sea God Tang Sans had to be a fake, but which was real and which was fake?

There was no doubt, however, that the first Sea God Tang San to appear had stood on Shrek's side and charged at the rebels from the Zodiac Temple, halberd in hand.

He did not dare trust his own judgment.

He had a feeling things were not that simple.

Xuan Zi, who had just taken a savage beating, flew into a rage when he saw someone else trying to impersonate the Sea God. Bellowing, he activated his Taotie True Body and shouted:

"How dare you impersonate the Sea God! I'll tear you apart with my bare hands!"

Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and the others also rushed at the projection of Tang San, whose hair hung loose and disheveled.

At the sight, Tang San nearly exploded with rage.

He had projected himself into the lower realm, only for his own people on Shrek's side to help that false god fight him.

It was utter lawlessness!

He summoned all his divine power and shouted:

"Are you all blind? I'm Tang San!"

Hearing that, the others believed him even less.

"You say you are, so you must be? Then I'm a God King!"

Under the barrage of attacks, Tang San's projection, formed from a wisp of his divine consciousness, was also shattered.

Seeing his projection crash and burn in the lower realm, Tang San, still in the Divine Realm, felt veins bulge on his forehead.

He spat out another mouthful of blood!

This was fucking outrageous!

He had descended to the lower realm and been beaten up by his own people!

He couldn't go on living like this. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.

After the earth-shaking battle, the divine power in the stone statue of Sea God Tang San was also rejected by Douluo Star, and he promptly ascended to the Divine Realm again.

Sea God Tang San looked at the people in the Divine Realm, then at the people below, and waved with a satisfied expression.

Sure enough, even after another ten thousand years, he could still easily subdue these rebels.

Now it was time to return to the Divine Realm.

As he ascended, he was surprised to discover that he was turning to stone, strand by strand. The life and divine power in his body were drawn away, and he finally became a stone statue.

Before becoming a statue, he thought:

Was the ascension a trick?

Or was that beggar-like one really me?

Am I just a statue?

That damned Zodiac Temple-have I been played?

After the Zodiac Temple invaded Shrek and the Sea God manifested in the ensuing battle, a storm swept across the entire continent.

The various factions reacted differently, but they all shared one thing: apprehension toward Shrek Academy.

They had thought that after the Sea God ascended, he would no longer be able to interfere with the lower realm. They had never expected he could still go so far.

This made everyone even more wary of Shrek.

The Sun Moon Empire.

The crown prince's hall.

Crown Prince Xu Tianran slammed his fist hard against the table.

In his view, overthrowing Shrek and pulling it down from its pedestal was a necessary step toward unifying the continent.

But now he was being told that Shrek still had a fucking god backing it!

The Sun Moon Royal Academy.

When Jing Hongchen learned the news, his expression turned grave.

He had thought his Illustrious Virtue Hall was already completely ahead of Shrek in Soul Tools, and that surpassing Shrek would only be a matter of time.

The problem was that no matter how powerful Soul Tools were, they were still inadequate before a true god.

Unless he could develop a Soul Tool capable of slaying a god.

He sighed. It seemed the Sun Moon Royal Academy would have to keep biding its time.

Meanwhile, at the academy, the students were also disheartened.

The academy had been thriving, but upon learning that a god had manifested at Shrek Academy, they wilted.

Only one among them was unaffected. Instead, he was eager to have a go, leaving the others curious. They asked:

"Senior Zhu Hai, aren't you worried? Shrek is so strong."

"Yeah, yeah. I thought we'd be able to surpass Shrek, but now it looks hopeless."

Zhu Hai shook his head. "It's only interesting when it's difficult. If Shrek could be beaten easily, it wouldn't be called Shrek."

Hearing this, the students exclaimed, "As expected of the strongest genius, Senior Zhu Hai!"

"I'm afraid even Captain Ma Rulong, who represents the academy in competition, and Senior Xiao Hongchen will be surpassed by Senior Zhu Hai someday."

Listening to the students' praise, Zhu Hai muttered inwardly:

How hard could surpassing them be? All I have to do is spend a few more Fate Points.

Yes, Zhu Hai was Hai Pig, one of the twelve zodiac figures Chu Ye had created.

Hai Pig's basic ability was Laser Eyes, which he had developed into an ability that assisted in making Soul Tools.

As such, Zhu Hai was like a fish in water at the Sun Moon Royal Academy. It was only a matter of time before he became one of its core members.

He could not help reflecting:

"It's not time for me to show what I can do yet. I'll take my time learning."

The Body Sect.

Du Busi said:

"You've heard the news about Shrek, haven't you? Our sect and Shrek have long been enemies. Mu Xuan, Aotian, the burden of the future falls on you two."

Mu Xuan nodded.

Long Aotian's expression soured because the sect master had named Mu Xuan before him.

Du Busi naturally knew Long Aotian was displeased, but there was nothing he could do about it. Mu Xuan's talent had even taken him by surprise.

As the Body Sect, what they valued most was the cultivation of body Martial Souls, and Mu Xuan's Martial Soul was his entire body.

Thus, Mu Xuan's talent surpassed even Long Aotian's.

On top of that, Mu Xuan possessed immense strength. In Du Busi's eyes, Mu Xuan was a genius bestowed upon the Body Sect by heaven itself.

If they wanted to topple Shrek Academy in the future, they had to place a heavy bet on Mu Xuan.

Mu Xuan, however, did not regard Long Aotian as a rival.

He thought, That guy Zi Rat must have had the time of his life this time.

He also wanted to cut loose and give it his all, but the Body Sect's stage was still too small. Long Aotian was impressive, but he fell considerably short compared to Mu Xuan, who had a Talisman's power behind him.

Yes, he was Chou Ox, one of the twelve clones.

The "Mu" in Mu Xuan represented an ox.

As for the character "Chou," it did not sound good, so it had been replaced with "Xuan," which had a more mystical ring to it.

Situations like these had been occurring frequently across the continent lately.

Most of the other factions were shocked as well. After all, what had happened at Shrek was enormous.

Shrek itself, however, held its head high in triumph.

After all, the Sea God had manifested. That was a living advertisement.

Even so, the Zodiac Temple had left an indelible impression on them.

There was Mao Rabbit, who had sent the level 98 Taotie Douluo flying with a single kick, and You Rooster, who had unleashed Planetary Devastation in a single move.

Every one of them was outrageous.

And in the end, one of them had even been able to disguise himself as the Sea God. If the real Sea God had not displayed his might, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

That was what everyone thought, at least.

In the end, Mu En had actually noticed that something was amiss, and after speaking with Zhulong, he felt that way even more strongly.

They also felt that things were not so simple, but for now, they could not make it public and shake everyone's morale, no matter what. They would leave it at that.

Naturally, Chu Ye had gained the most this time.

[Congratulations, host. You led the Shrek Collapse Plan event.]

[Successfully influenced the son of fortune Huo Yuhao, making him curious about the Zodiac Temple. Obtained 100,000 Fate Points.]

[Successfully removed the Sea God's imprint from the Sea of Consciousness of the Sea God's daughter, Wang Dong. Obtained 100,000 Fate Points.]

[Successfully brought the statue of Sea God Tang San to life, causing Sea God Tang San to suffer a brutal beating from the God of Destruction and another from the people of Shrek. Reward: 1,000,000 Fate Points.]

[Current Fate Points balance: 1,320,000.]

Seeing his Fate Points surge by more than a million, Chu Ye nearly laughed aloud.

"God King Tang really came through."

"Who says God King Tang is no good? He's wonderful!"

As he browsed the treasures in the system shop, his mind stirred, and the other clones in his Sea of Consciousness began a lively discussion.

[Chen Dragon]: Well? My acting was pretty good, wasn't it?

[You Rooster]: Awesome! Hahaha, that was so satisfying! I secretly gave that old geezer Xuan Zi a few hard punches! I even knocked out two of his teeth!

[Mao Rabbit]: It was all right. He didn't feel that good to kick.

[Zi Rat]: Shouting that line, "Rise again, my Sea God!" made my whole body feel unblocked. And watching the fake Sea God pound that brat Tang San's projection at the end was unbelievably satisfying.

[Wu Horse]: Tang San's main body probably had a rough time too. After he caused such a huge commotion in the lower realm, wouldn't the God of Destruction give him a good beating?

[Si Snake]: Well? My invisibility and intangibility abilities came in handy, didn't they?

All the clones gave them unanimous praise!

The clones who had not taken part could not help feeling envious as they watched. They also wanted to go stir up trouble at Shrek.

Chu Ye spoke up to calm them down:

"All right, rein it in."

"We made a big splash this time. Let's digest our gains first."

"Wait until I make my entrance as Shrek's model student."

The clones said, "You? A model Shrek student?"

Chu Ye looked serious.

"Those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities."

"I'm putting Shrek's guiding principle into practice."

Chen Dragon said, "I didn't realize you loved Shrek so much."

Chu Ye said, "I even embroidered the word Shrek on the back of my school uniform."

The clones said, "Wasn't that so Shrek would clean up your mess?"

Chu Ye said, "Am I that kind of person?"

With that, Chu Ye slipped away.

He now had to play the part of an honest, reliable senior.
