A Face That Stunned Everyone

Within the mask were pitch-black eye sockets.

Su Mutian's pale-blue pupils met Tang Chen's expectant yet nervous eyes.

Su Mutian had seen Tang Chen's battle against Bo Saixi.

Though he had been suppressed by Bo Saixi and Sea God Island's Seven Guardian Douluo, in his heart, he had never yielded.

People said the eyes were the windows to the soul.

At this moment, Tang Chen had indeed pinned his hopes on Su Mutian, this life-saving... no, wife-saving straw.

If Tang Chen had not been so poor with words,

the current scene might have turned into him trying to fool Su Mutian instead.

Something like this:

"Young God, the world is vast, and for you and me to meet is fate. You truly are my savior!

"Think about it. The sea is so huge, yet I just so happened to be discovered by those two from the Sea Charm Tribe and hunted down, and you just so happened to discover me!

"Isn't this heaven itself sending you to help me out?!"

Unfortunately, Tang Chen could not say these words.

Otherwise, Su Mutian would surely have floated straight into immortality.

"Young God..."

Hearing the voices of the two Sea Charm elders, Tang Chen called out to Su Mutian again.

"Ah... Tang Chen, even Sea God Island can't easily interfere in this matter."

Tang Chen's declaration that he would brave mountains of blades to the death was tempting.

But the Sea Charm Tribe were not pushovers either.

What Su Mutian feared was that once he stepped in, he would instead muddy the waters.

Besides, was he really supposed to learn from those plays, take two steps forward, raise a hand, and say:

"Hero, spare him under your martial soul attack. I am Sea God Island's Young God. This is my token. Could you give me some face and let this rude fellow go?"

"Eighth soul skill: Sunflower Porpoise."

"Grandmother!"

On the other side, a Sea Charm Tribe elder led Bei'er away from the battlefield.

Seeing a soul skill containing tremendous Soul Power erupt, some of the onlooking passersby were also horrified and hurriedly retreated.

"Grandmother's eighth soul skill is extremely explosive. This place is very close to the Sea Exchange. I'm afraid we'll offend Sea God Island. Then Auntie..."

Bei'er looked worriedly toward the grandmother whose every step brought forth sunflowers.

It was very strange. Faced with things of normal logic, she could think of them very quickly, but she would not believe anything that went beyond her worldview in the slightest.

That elder waved a hand and said, "Elder Kui knows what she's doing."

Su Mutian had still been caught in bitter hesitation over whether or not to help Tang Chen.

Then a sunflower dolphin came crashing straight at him.

Fortunately, Tang Chen was blocking in front of him.

He had no intention of dodging either.

That sunflower porpoise was formed from thousands upon thousands of sunflower petals. Beneath its bluish-white skin, pale-yellow light flickered from time to time.

After it struck its target, the sunflower leaves scattered and transformed into countless tiny cannonballs that exploded.

The sunflower porpoise, originally only slightly larger than a person, actually caused explosion damage over an enormous area.

Some Spirit Kings failed to dodge in time and were blown away on the spot, their fates unknown.

No wonder the two Sea Charm Tribe members had avoided it early.

This power was simply comparable to a small missile!

"Hiss, even a Titled Douluo would likely be in grave danger if they took that blow with no resistance."

"The people of the Sea Charm Tribe are actually this vicious!"

"Terrifying!"

When the dust dispersed, Tang Chen spread his arms, his clothes ragged, then roared, "Grandmother! I respect you as a senior, so I won't fight you.

"But the one before you is Sea God Island's Young God. Do you truly not care about the safety of the Sea Charm Tribe?!"

The moment Tang Chen finished speaking,

a crisp sound rang out from Su Mutian's face. The mask split from the bridge of the nose, then, with a crack, fell...

"Sea God Island's Young God?"

"Sea God Island's Young God!"

"Holy shit, what kind of joke is this?"

The Sea Charm Tribe members also looked at one another.

Wasn't Sea God Island's Young God supposed to live on Sea God Island all year round and rarely go out... at the very least, they had almost never heard of it, let alone seen him.

"I said long ago that you, brat, were full of sweet words, making things up out of nothing and sneaking through by trickery. Sure enough, I was right."

Elder Kui's face was dark, clearly not believing it.

The smoke had not fully dispersed yet. In the haze, Tang Chen said, "Shallow!"

"How dare you! You dare curse this old woman?!"

Elder Kui's face turned purple with rage.

It had always been her lecturing this brat. Now he actually dared to talk back?

This was outrageous.

However, seeing the two of them face Elder Kui's strongest strike with their bodies and still stand proudly, utterly unmoving,

everyone could not help feeling astonished.

For this Titled Douluo to endure it nearly unharmed was already beyond expectation, yet that masked youth had not fallen either!

This was a powerful strike from a Spirit Titled Douluo expert!

Only when the mist had dispersed and Su Mutian's handsome face was exposed before everyone did the place instantly fall silent.

"Too beautiful..."

"Am I dreaming?"

"Is he an immortal man who walked out of a dream..."

Su Mutian clenched his palm.

If he had known, he would not have washed his face.

When he entered the Sea Exchange, because he needed to wear a mask, Su Mutian had conveniently washed up.

To be honest, all that black mud smeared on his face had been sticky and rather uncomfortable.

But he had not expected that now, it would instead expose him.

"So this is Sea God Island's Young God. He's way too handsome!"

"I don't care anymore. In this lifetime, I must immigrate to Sea God Island!"

"Within one year, I want to wake up every day and be able to see his face!"

A certain female Soul Ancestor secretly made an oath.

"He really is Sea God Island's Young God?" Elder Man of the Sea Charm Tribe exclaimed in shock.

"He's... so handsome."

Bei'er's eyes tightened, staring fixedly at Su Mutian, and her body involuntarily wanted to move closer.

"Bei'er, Bei'er!"

Only after Elder Man called her twice did she wake her. With a dark expression, she said, "Do you want to follow in your aunt's footsteps?"

Only then did the Sea Charm Tribe Saintess Bei'er jolt awake. She cast a lingering glance at Su Mutian and said timidly, "Bei'er understands. The Saintess cannot have romantic feelings. Bei'er will work hard to restrain herself."

"Sigh... You should go back first."

Elder Man sighed. She could only blame the youth before her for looking far too transcendent. Asking herself honestly, if her looks had been thirty to fifty years younger, she could hardly guarantee she would be able to restrain herself either.

"Bei'er will watch from here... watch how you expose their true faces."

The Sea Charm Tribe Saintess raised her head, ripples in her eyes, unwilling to leave.

With such a handsome face, it seemed as though the strength that did not match his ten-year white-ring soul master status also made some sense, had some reason to it?

"Back then, just seeing his side profile was already stunning beyond belief. Now that I'm looking at him straight on, I didn't expect his youthful divine bearing to be even greater."

Tang Chen sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he had not the slightest bit of that kind of inclination.

Otherwise, even if he had to fight Sea God Island's High Priest to the death, he would have abducted this Young God back home.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Su Mutian was also very helpless.

Who wasn't a sucker for looks?

This was precisely why, over the years, he had not been willing to casually take even half a step out of Sea God Hall.

Compared to these people's reactions, Bo Saixi instead seemed very normal.

After all, she was a Limit Douluo and saw through certain things more clearly.

Naturally, her resistance was a little stronger.

She was even more charming when she blushed.

Heh heh.

But this body

left Tang Chen rather shocked.

He had secretly used Soul Power to disperse some of the explosion damage, while he had not sensed Su Mutian use even the slightest bit of Soul Power to resist.

What did that mean?

He did not care about this level of Soul Power attack at all!

Moreover, afterward, Su Mutian's body was completely unharmed.

His strength was also extraordinary. As expected, it matched Sea Star Douluo's words.

"My Young God's Soul Power is absolutely not below a Peerless Douluo's. He has already entered the ranks of demigods!"
