Above a Sea King Is the Sea God

Tang San had just been immersed in the joy of Ning Rongrong asking him for help when, upon turning his head, he encountered an even greater delight.

Xiao Wu was acting cute with him!

Xiao Wu was acting cute with him!

Xiao Wu liked him!

The smile on Tang San's face grew even wider. "Xiao Wu, don't worry. No one can hurt you. If anyone wants to hurt you, they'll have to step over my corpse first!"

Adoptive Mother's method really was right. Men should show off their charm; they can't hang themselves from a single tree.

An outstanding man like me definitely won't lack girls who like me.

Fawning over one person makes you a dog. Fawning over ten makes you a mastiff. Fawning over a hundred makes you a battle wolf.

Being a simp isn't scary, nor is it shameful. I've only simped for two people so far. Once I'm simping for a hundred at the same time, I'll be a Sea King. Adoptive Mother said that above a Sea King is the Sea God.

The Sea God is also a God. Could this be the godhood Adoptive Mother prepared for me? It must be. Although Adoptive Mother never said so outright, everything she said implied that she wanted me to become a Sea King. Why? Naturally, it was to prepare me to become the Sea God!

Just as Tang San was pondering this, an ill-timed voice rang out.

"Ning Rongrong, hurry up and introduce your spirit abilities. We don't have much time."

"My First Spirit Ability is Strength Boost, and my Second Soul Skill is Speed Boost. The more people I boost at once, the weaker the effect becomes. If I boost only one person, both attributes can probably increase by thirty percent. If I boost all four of you, each attribute can still increase by twenty percent, but the duration will be much shorter."

Ning Rongrong looked expectantly at the four of them, hoping to see surprise and envy on their faces. To her disappointment, only Zhu Zhuqing showed even a hint of surprise. The others had no reaction at all.

"Now that everyone understands each other fairly well, let me share my thoughts."

Li Chen looked at the group and spoke solemnly.

"We are a team, so we need to choose the person best suited to be captain. It isn't simply a matter of whoever is strongest becoming captain."

"I recommend Tang San as captain, because I think a Control System Soul Master like Tang San is the most suitable. As for the reason, Tang San, you surely know it too. Tell everyone yourself."

Tang San was not the least bit surprised when Li Chen recommended him as captain. When he and Li Chen had gone to hunt for his Second Spirit Ring, his teacher had taught them the theory of team combat. Unless something was wrong with Li Chen's head, the captain could be no one but him.

Thus, Tang San felt no gratitude at all. He had merely received what already belonged to him.

Tang San cleared his throat. "My teacher is the Theory Master of the Soul Master World, Yu Xiaogang. I wonder if you've heard of him?"

Naturally, Ning Rongrong had heard of him. She immediately said in a low voice, "Is he that Level 29 Boar Beast Soul Master who could never break through Level 30 for his entire life?"

"Yes, but Teacher has already become a Soul Elder through his own efforts. Being able to become a Soul Elder with Innate Half-level Soul Power proves just how invincible Teacher's theories are."

Tang San's face darkened slightly. Although Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul really was a Boar Beast, she couldn't just say it in front of so many people. For the sake of you being a beauty, Ning Rongrong, I, Tang San, will forgive you.

"First, a captain needs to watch in all directions and listen in all directions, commanding the entire team in battle. I have trained in a secret eye technique that gives me superior vision. That is the first point."

"I am a Control System Soul Master and possess the strongest control abilities in the team. If I do not serve as captain, we may not be able to coordinate effectively. That is the second point."

"Also, let me tell everyone a secret. I have Twin Martial Souls. I also possess an offensive Weapon Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer. If I become captain, I might be able to confuse Teacher Zhao and win by surprise. That is the third point."

"Taking those three points together, do any of you have objections to me being captain? Oh, and I forgot to mention that once I become captain, I will definitely protect you three—Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, Rongrong!"

Tang San looked at the three girls with a broad smile and spoke like a gentleman.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had shown no reaction when Tang San said the earlier things, but his final sentence truly disgusted both of them.

Ning Rongrong was better about it. She had seen plenty of such clowns, and having been born into a Great Clan, she knew how to hide her likes and dislikes. Zhu Zhuqing, however, did not. Her expressionless little face immediately turned icy cold.

"Agreed! Everyone agrees!"

Li Chen laughed as he tried to smooth things over. Out of respect for Li Chen, everyone agreed to let Tang San become captain.

Tang San continued, "Then let's formulate our tactics."

"I think your Blue Silver Entanglement, Tang San, can be used not only as a control spirit ability, but also as a defensive spirit ability. Our team happens to lack a Defense Soul Master, so how about you also fill that role?"

Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice rang out before Tang San could answer.

Ning Rongrong also chimed in, "That's right, Tang San. Your Martial Soul is the most versatile in our team. It can attack and defend. We can rest easy leaving this important responsibility to you."

"Fine." Tang San answered with an unhappy expression. He had originally planned to put Li Chen at the front to absorb damage, allowing himself to stay behind with the three girls and deal damage. But Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had instantly disrupted his arrangements.

A powerful aura swept over them. "Are you ready? Time is up. Our test begins now. I hope you can injure me. As long as you make me see you in a new light or manage to hurt me, you will be considered to have passed."

Zhao Wuji said this to prevent himself from using too much force. If these children failed to hold on, he could still say that their coordination and strength had met his requirements and satisfied him.

There was no way he would truly let these little geniuses go. Saying this beforehand was far better than having to swallow his own words later.

Seven Spirit Rings rose one after another behind Zhao Wuji, and the invisible pressure intensified severalfold.

Before Zhao Wuji could make a move, Ning Rongrong released her spirit ability ahead of him.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile shines forth: First is Strength, Second is Speed."

Two rays of light immediately flew toward Tang San. He only felt the strength and speed within his body rise sharply, roughly equivalent to an increase of five or six levels.

"Tang San, what are you standing there for? Hurry, control Teacher Zhao!" Ning Rongrong's anxious voice rang beside Tang San's ear. Before he could savor the powerful strength in his body, Tang San unleashed his signature technique!

"Teacher Zhao, First Spirit Ability: Blue Silver Entanglement!"

"Watch out!"
