Tang San Falls into a Cesspit
The Star Dou Great Forest.
The Lake of Life.
Di Tian wanted nothing more than to find a crack in the ground and shove his head into it.
Humiliating. It was just too damn humiliating.
He was the mighty Di Tian, with cultivation at the Quasi-God level.
In the Soul Beast Clan, he stood beneath one and above countless beasts.
And now, the sky screen had exposed him to both continents.
Before, the other Soul Beasts had seen him as their mighty, mysterious king.
Now, he was probably a muddleheaded, useless, mediocre dragon to them.
Humiliating. Truly humiliating.
He had nearly disgraced the entire Dragon Clan.
Meanwhile, Xiong Jun had already set to work.
Ever since Gu Yuena had told her to take Di Tian's place and gather the young Soul Beasts together for protection,
he had been walking with both paws behind his back.
He felt as if the wind followed his every step.
Of course, he didn't dare waste time either.
The current Gu Yuena was genuinely learning to be a good leader of the Soul Beasts. If he slacked off and another incident like Xiao Wu's occurred, Gu Yuena would really dare chop off both his bear paws and braise them.
He went straight to the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest to carry out Gu Yuena's orders.
Xiong Jun arrived at the mixed zone.
Then he heard a cry of "Help!"
Xiong Jun shuddered and hurried over.
There, he saw the Hilichurl version of Tang San hunting a Soul Beast whose Soul Ring would be tens of thousands of years old.
"You Little Scumbag, die!"
Xiong Jun bristled instantly.
Without hesitation, he charged forward and swung his paw heavily toward Tang San.
Tang San was hunting the Soul Beast when he saw Xiong Jun suddenly charge at him, as tall as a building more than ten stories high, and swipe a paw at him.
He was dumbfounded.
Wasn't this the mixed zone, mostly home to Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts? Why had such a terrifying Soul Beast appeared here?
Was this riverly possible??
Although he now possessed the remnants of the Asura God's inheritance and the Sea God's inheritance, his cultivation was only at the level of a rank forty-nine Soul Ancestor.
On top of that, he was afflicted with the Curse of Immortality, which had drastically reduced his combat strength.
The reason he was so desperate to raise his cultivation was that he had discovered the Curse of Immortality's progress could only be slowed by continually improving his cultivation.
With a single swipe,
he sent Tang San flying like a shooting star, soaring into the sky and vanishing from sight.
The Hilichurl version of Tang Hao, who had been protecting Tang San from the shadows, was dumbfounded as well.
He could clearly sense that the enormous bear before him was countless times more terrifying than the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python he had encountered.
How could such a terrifying Ferocious Beast appear here?
Tang Hao couldn't worry about that now. He hurried after Tang San in the direction he had flown.
Xiong Jun gently patted the head of the twenty-thousand-year-old young Soul Beast. "Come with Uncle Xiong to the Lake of Life. There, you'll receive the care a young member of the Soul Beast Clan deserves."
The twenty-thousand-year-old young Soul Beast followed Xiong Jun, bewildered.
Hilichurl Tang San flew and flew and flew.
His body crashed like a cannonball into an enormous cesspit.
"Xiao San!!" The Hilichurl Tang Hao hurried over and hauled his son out of the cesspit.
"Damn it, what on earth is going on?" Tang San was nearly going mad. He didn't even bother cleaning the dung off his body before quickly connecting to the sky screen to see what was happening.
While people in Teyvat were busy mocking Di Tian's incompetence, the human Soul Masters of the Douluo Continent were wailing in despair.
(Hu Liena: We're finished, really finished. The Soul Beast Clan's young are all being protected. Won't it be impossible for us to obtain high-level Soul Rings in the future?)
(Dugu Yan: No way! I was just about to go get a Soul Ring, and they've put Xiong Jun in charge of protecting them. It's over, really over.)
(Tang San (Hilichurl version): Gu Yuena, you already have a way to die. Humans hunting Soul Beasts for Soul Rings is part of nature's cycle. You're recklessly destroying the balance—it's simply intolerable to heaven's law.)
Hilichurl Tang San was truly bristling with rage.
Tang Hao comforted him. "Xiao San, there's no need to be so angry."
Tang San said, "How can I not be angry? That damned Gu Yuena has put all the young Soul Beasts under protection. Where am I supposed to hunt Soul Beasts for Soul Rings in the future?"
"Damn that Gu Yuena! She's cutting off my hope of slowing the curse. Where am I supposed to get the hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings and above that I'll need later?"
"Once I complete the Sea God's Nine Trials, enter the Divine Realm, and lift the Curse of Immortality, I'll make Gu Yuena pay."
Tang San's teeth gnashed as he spoke, and his words were full of killing intent.
Celestia.
Little Paimon returned with her arms full of gifts and drool on her lips. "Hehe, presents! So, so many presents."
Lin Feng brewed a pot of tea.
He watched the sky screen with great interest.
He had to admit, the sky screen really was interesting.
Each event it covered was more interesting than the last.
"Tea, have some tea."
Lin Feng gently picked up his teacup and leisurely took a sip.
Just then, the sky screen scrolled, and new text appeared once more.
(Now reviewing Xiao Wu's iconic moments.)
(With a mortal body, she stood shoulder to shoulder with the gods.)
(On the Douluo Continent, throughout all of history, she was the only beast to achieve this.)
When the words appeared on the sky screen, a question mark sprang into everyone's mind.
What exactly had Xiao Wu done?
How could the sky screen describe him as standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods in a mortal body, the only beast in the entire history of the Douluo Continent to achieve it?
Teyvat livestream chat.
(Furina: Standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods in a mortal body? What an awesome assessment! What on earth did that rabbit do?!)
(Venti: Ehe, I'm pretty curious too.)
(Raiden Ei: Won't we find out if we keep watching? Yae Miko, bring me some more sweets. I'm almost out.)
"Xiao Wu, I knew you were the best." Tang San's eyes lit up the moment he saw the sky screen.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods in a mortal body.
What an awesome assessment. As expected of his, Tang San's, future wife.
"Hurry up and show it. Let everyone see how amazing my Xiao Wu is."
"Once the review is over, Xiao Wu will definitely use the sky screen's reward to lift my Curse of Immortality."
The Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
Xiao Wu was equally baffled when she saw the assessment.
She was very curious about what she had done in the future to earn such high praise from the sky screen: "Standing shoulder to shoulder with the gods in a mortal body."
"Not bad, little rabbit. You've really brought honor to our Soul Beast Clan." Zi JI walked over and patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder.
Gu Yuena also watched the sky screen intently, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity.
Under the gaze of countless people, the corresponding images began to appear on the sky screen.
