"Holy shit!"

"He took a Spirit Titled Douluo's all-out strike head-on, and he's acting like nothing happened!"

Su Mutian let out a long breath.

The gap in strength between a Limit Douluo and a Spirit Titled Douluo really was as vast as heaven and earth.

Even with Tang Chen standing still and taking the other party's attack head-on,

it still could not inflict any effective damage on him.

Hand on heart,

if that blow had landed on him, he could have been sent flying several hundred meters.

"You still have the nerve to ask? The mother and child have nothing to do with you anymore!"

The sunflower cores filling the sky turned into a rain of needles, surging toward Tang Chen's face like ****.

There truly was not the slightest mercy.

"Eighth spirit skill, Torrential Sunflower Needles!"

"Grandmother!"

Tang Chen actually walked straight into that violent rain of needles. The sunflower cores stabbing toward him at extreme speed struck two inches from his body and were blocked by his Soul Power.

Large numbers of sunflower needles withered and fell to the ground.

"If I had known Luo'er was pregnant back then, no matter what, I would never have let her leave my side!"

"Your greatest mistake wasn't leaving. It was letting her experience love between a man and a woman!" the elder snapped angrily.

Unfortunately, Tang Chen did not know the truth. Presumably, the taboo of the Sea Charm Tribe Saintess had always been a secret. If things had not reached an irreversible point,

the Sea Charm Tribe would not have sought help from Sea God Island.

He was like a complete blockhead.

Tang Chen argued, "Is there anything wrong with love between a man and a woman? In this world, who dares say they weren't born from that kind of love? I'm willing to take responsibility, but I truly don't understand your logic."

"You brat!"

At the slightest disagreement, conflict broke out again.

Su Mutian felt that at a time like this, he needed a cola and a plate of peanuts and melon seeds.

This was simply even better than watching women fight by scratching, clawing, and yanking!

Tang Chen, oh Tang Chen.

Your lifetime of fame has been ruined by one egg.

So it turned out that raising happiness value was such a simple thing.

However,

there was no battle of the century, and no melodramatic killing of the grandmother or screwing over the niece.

Tang Chen's figure flickered, and he appeared before Su Mutian, who was enthusiastically playing the role of onlooker.

Thinking of what Sea Star Douluo had called Su Mutian at the time, Tang Chen called out, "Young God."

Immediately afterward, he turned back and raised a wall of Soul Power, blocking the attacks of the two Sea Charm Tribe elders.

Su Mutian was stunned.

"???"

What was going on?

Had he been exposed just like that?

He was still wearing a mask!

He had only exposed his Martial Soul once.

And Tang Chen had recognized him.

Good grief.

So even this still was not cautious enough?

In the future, even revealing his Martial Soul would need careful consideration.

Or rather, he needed to disguise it a little.

Just like when the later Shrek Seven Devils fought the Godwind Academy team.

Tang San could not use the Clear Sky Hammer.

He could not release his sword.

It was over, over.

From now on, was he really only going to be able to fight hand-to-hand?

Like some hot-blooded Japanese teenager brawling, beating each other bloody until heaven and earth went dark.

Once Su Mutian thought this through, he immediately felt that the path of caution was boundlessly dark.

Tang Chen's eyes were full of helplessness, and his tone was rarely so soft.

"I once had the fortune to ascend Sea God Island, and was even more fortunate to meet Young God once. Just now, the aura of Young God's Martial Soul was the same as that day, causing fighting spirit to burst forth in Tang Chen's heart."

Su Mutian: "..."

Could you not make wanting to fight sound so nice, okay?

Most importantly, could you not say it right in front of me, okay?

I admit I'm scared.

Wait until I level up the Divine Sword Martial Soul, the Jade Butterfly Martial Soul, and the Green Lotus Martial Soul to max level, then come get beaten.

OK?

"But what happened today... sigh, it's hard to explain in a few words."

"Tang also knows that Young God disguised himself as an ordinary person, presumably because you did not want to be recognized. But today, Tang has an unavoidable difficulty and must beg Young God for help."

Tang Chen sighed and said, "Young God, you are the esteemed Young God of the king island of the sea—Sea God Island. I, Tang Chen, ask you to help me with one matter. If you agree, from this day forth, Tang Chen's life is yours to command!"

Puling!

Su Mutian's eyes lit up.

His to command!

Su Mutian suddenly had a new plan.

Instead of making Tang Chen's line die out, why not develop the Clear Sky Sect into his own power?

No, no. Someone with Tang San's protagonist look definitely would not be willing to live beneath another. If he was allowed to grow freely, it would still inevitably bring disaster to Bo Saixi.

Would he need generations of training?

Bag the Clear Sky Sect and lead it astray?

"Their matter?"

Su Mutian gestured toward the three members of the Sea Charm Tribe for Tang Chen.

"Yes. I, Tang Chen, am not someone who forces others against their will. As long as Young God can put in a little effort and change the Sea Charm Tribe's attitude a bit,

Tang Chen may not count as any great figure to Sea God Island, but I guarantee on my character that if Young God has need of me in the future, I, Tang Chen, will charge through mountains of blades in blood!"

Good grief. A Level 99 Limit Douluo was not a great figure?

Sir, what an arrogant tone.

Su Mutian said helplessly, "But I only just promised them I wouldn't interfere in their affairs."

"That is because they did not know your identity," Tang Chen said, raising his head.

When had he, Tang Chen, ever lowered his head to anyone?

In this life, only two.

One was the Sea Charm Tribe chief, which was Luo'er's mother.

The other was Su Mutian, who stood before him now.

Even a God Servant like Qian Daoliu could only hope to ally with him, chasing him all over the world.

"This..."

Meeting Tang Chen's somewhat pitiful gaze,

it was obvious that he truly had no way to deal with the Sea Charm Tribe.

The key was, if his wife were willing to elope with him, he could learn from the domineering CEO style, smash open a bloody road with one hammer, and fly far away.

But his wife was also shackled by some inexplicable reason, and the key was that he still did not know the reason.

For a man, that truly would leave him in a period of confusion.

No wonder that in the original course of the story, Tang Chen would fall in love with Bo Saixi.

According to Su Mutian's speculation, it was very likely that Tang Chen had transferred this emotional reliance onto his longing for the strong, and developed feelings with Bo Saixi through fighting.

And Tang Chen's yearning to become a god was not entirely because of Bo Saixi's words about "marrying a god." It might also have been a transfer of belief, the pursuit of a goal that allowed no retreat.

Just like some people drank alcohol, drinking a kind of loneliness, a kind of emotional reliance.

Some people smoked cigarettes, smoking comfort, smoking stories.

Some people played games, playing loneliness, playing at being understood by no one.

At this moment,

Su Mutian suddenly felt a little sympathy for Tang Chen.

Not only did he have to face the Sea Charm Tribe's difficulties, he also bore the future development of the Clear Sky Sect.

Most importantly, he had actually come to him as a shield!

Heh heh, little bro, you really found the right person. I'm not some bad guy either.

At this time,

the Sea Charm Tribe elders saw Tang Chen suddenly slip over to that unknown youth's side again.

And his attitude was humble. He had even bowed, a rare sight!

The Sea Charm Tribe elders immediately grew uneasy.

This once again confirmed her guess.

This youth's strength was not ordinary!

"Could he be some hidden Douluo?"

the elder muttered.

The other elder said, "No matter what identity you have, today, this old woman will grind your bones to dust!"

Oh my dear mother~

Even Su Mutian could not bear to listen anymore.

Could you please not be so confident?

You've used several spirit skills in a row and still can't hurt him. Do you still not understand the difference in strength?

Impossible.

So either she was relying on seniority to throw her weight around,

or she knew Tang Chen would not fight back, so she could recklessly bombard him with spirit skills.

Just how deep was this hatred and resentment?

But looking at it the other way,

the Sea Charm Tribe was also especially loyal.

If this were any other sect,

and their saintess had been defiled by the master of an even more powerful sect... and on top of that, this was mutual love, most sects would choose to endure rather than court death.

This showed that the Sea Charm Tribe valued loyalty and affection.

Otherwise, the Sea Charm Tribe could not possibly have begged Sea God Island to save that saintess called Luo'er.
