Tang San hadn't completely lied, but he had very cleverly omitted the cause and effect of the matter, focusing all the conflict on the humiliation of the Asura God.

"Li Xin..."

The Asura God's voice was terrifyingly low.

"Well done, Great Tang, well done, Li Xin."

"A mere mortal, daring to attempt to defy heaven."

"Tang San."

"Here!" Tang San immediately responded.

"Your current strength is too weak."

The Asura God's words were blunt and full of disdain.

"Unable to even deal with a few mortals, you've utterly disgraced this Seat."

Tang San buried his head even lower, his fingernails digging deeply into his palms, but he dared not retort.

"Since that Li Xin wants to play, this Seat will play with him."

"That Heavenly Curtain can block this Seat's true form, but it cannot block the power this Seat bestows."

Before his voice even faded.

A vast and boundless Red Divine Power, along the Soul Connection, madly poured into Tang San's body.

"Ah--!!"

Tang San let out a painful roar.

This power was too overbearing, far more violent than the gentle Sea God Divine Power.

It rampaged through Tang San's meridians, forcibly widening them and remodeling his body.

His originally pure soul power was now stained with a layer of Bewitching Blood Red.

And on the palm of his left hand, the originally pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer actually began to slowly turn Dark Red.

On the hammer's body, faint demonic patterns filled with killing intent began to appear.

This was a direct infusion of Asura Divine Power.

Although Tang San had not yet passed the Asura Nine Trials, the enhancement from this power had already given him combat strength far exceeding that of an ordinary Limit Douluo.

At this moment, he possessed both the Sea God and Asura God's supreme divine powers within his body.

Although these two forces were still repelling each other, causing him unbearable pain, they also gave him an unprecedented illusion of power.

Pseudo Twin God Form!

After a long time, the red light gradually subsided.

Tang San collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.

But the fear in his eyes had disappeared.

In its place were extreme ecstasy and arrogance.

He clenched his fists, feeling the terrifying power within him that seemed capable of tearing apart the heavens and earth.

"Thank you, Lord, for bestowing divine power!"

Tang San kowtowed heavily three times towards the Void.

"This is just the interest."

The Asura God's voice gradually became ethereal.

"That damned barrier will disappear sooner or later."

"Until then, you will keep a close eye on Li Xin for this Seat."

"When this Seat's true form descends..."

"This Seat will turn the Great Tang Empire into a true Shura hell."

The voice completely disappeared.

The Secret Chamber returned to silence.

Tang San slowly got up from the ground, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably splitting to the sides, revealing his stark white teeth.

He walked to the mirror and looked at himself in the reflection, his eyes red and his expression sinister.

"Li Xin..."

"This time, let's see how you die."

Outside, above the Heavenly Curtain.

As Jing's image faded, the originally dark screen rippled again.

It was the Great Dao Law intertwining, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi gathering.

All eyes were drawn once more.

Even those who had been immersed in Jing's astonishing strike moments ago now held their breath.

Because the new ranking was about to be announced.

[Martial Soul Ranking, Eighth Place]

A line of gilded characters, like sword qi slashing through the sky, with bold strokes and graceful curves, exuding an unrestrained and wild aura.

The screen flowed.

A green-robed figure, holding a jug of wine, appeared swaying in the center of the Heavenly Curtain.

He lacked Jing's killing intent, nor the majesty of the previous powerhouses.

He walked casually, yet each step seemed to tread upon the rhythm of heaven and earth.

[Affiliation: Great Tang Empire, Chang'an]

[Name: Li Bai]

[Martial Soul: Taibai Sword (also known as Green Lotus Sword)]

As his name appeared, the green-robed swordsman in the picture tilted his head back and took a swig of strong liquor.

The next moment.

The sword was drawn.

This was no ordinary blade.

It was a Peerless Divine Weapon forged from pure Sword Intent and Poetic Sentiment.

The sword was slender, with a Bluish-white Halo flowing all over its body. The hilt was carved with a blooming green lotus.

The voice from the Heavenly Curtain, tinged with a hint of drunkenness and heroism, echoed across the continent:

"Great River Sword Descends from the Heavens!"

The scene changed abruptly.

Li Bai's figure flickered, his entire being transforming into an elusive afterimage.

It wasn't Teleportation, but it was harder to track than Teleportation.

He weaved through the battlefield, his long sword unleashing streaks of Green Sword Qi.

The first sword left an afterimage in its original spot, his true body already a hundred meters away.

Second sword, another thrust forward, Sword Qi Like a Rainbow, stunning all beings.

Third sword, return to the origin, as if never having left.

But this was merely a warm-up.

When the Heavenly Curtain displayed his strongest Self-Created Soul Skill, all Sword Cultivators on the Douluo Continent felt their Martial Souls tremble.

It was submission.

In the picture, Li Bai pointed his long sword to the sky, Green Lotus Blooms at his feet.

Countless White Sword Qi condensed around him, transforming into an Ocean of Swords.

It was Speed that could not be locked onto.

It was also sharpness that could not be defended against.

[Divine Skill Prototype: Green Lotus Sword Song]

[Transform into Sword Qi, slash in five directions, during which the user is in an ethereal state, immune to all physical and energy attacks.]

Sword shadows rained down, no matter how strong the opponent's defense, they turned to dust with a casual laugh.

This was the Poet Sword Immortal, Li Bai.

Chang'an City, Taibai Restaurant.

"Is that the Drunkard's Martial Soul?"

Da Qiao looked at the elegant and peerless figure on the Heavenly Curtain, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Normally, she saw Li Bai as always tipsy, she didn't expect him to be so dashing when serious.

Li Xin leaned on the couch, watching the demonstration on the Heavenly Curtain, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest.

"Green Lotus Sword Song..."

"It's quite interesting."

He was thinking about something else.

Just now, Jing appeared on the list, and the Heavenly Curtain directly rewarded her with a skin form similar to "Blazing Sun Divine Light," giving her the power of the Sun Goddess.

So what about Li Bai?

Following this pattern, the reward this guy would get would probably be something extraordinary.

Is it "Phoenix Seeks Mate"? Or "Singing Sword: Trailing Shadow"?

Thinking of this, Li Xin's face didn't show much emotion, only a bit more anticipation in his deep eyes.

No matter which one it was, it would allow Li Bai's combat power to reach another level.

Just as Li Xin was pondering.

A gust of fragrant wind arrived.

Two fair arms, like lotus roots, gently wrapped around his neck.

"Master~"

Xiao Qiao's sweet voice sounded in his ear, with a hint of obvious coquettishness.

She pressed her entire body against Li Xin's back, her soft and tender body wriggling restlessly.

The unique fragrance of a young girl, mixed with a faint floral scent, drilled straight into Li Xin's nostrils.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xin turned his head, meeting Xiao Qiao's large, watery eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Qiao was wearing a pink short skirt. Although her legs were not as long as Da Qiao's, they were well-proportioned and fair, exuding a vibrant youthful aura.

Her jade feet, which were not wearing shoes, were playfully stepping on the carpet. Her ten toes were round and cute, like pearls.
