Nuclear Domination From Douluo: Section 18

"Damn, I got the short end of the stick."

Sea Dragon Douluo hurriedly sat cross-legged and began stabilizing his injuries.

Although he had used his body to shield Tang Dongfeng from most of the damage, Tang Dongfeng had played things so recklessly that he had only barely kept his life. His injuries were even worse than Sea Dragon Douluo's.

Fortunately, the faint glow emitted by the Sea God's Mark protected his vital areas, or he would have died outright.

Otherwise, even if Tang Dongfeng had survived this, he would have been crippled.

"Sea... Dragon... Uncle... Th-thanks..."

Tang Dongfeng was covered in blood. His internal organs felt as though they were burning, and his lungs hurt unbearably.

"You little brat! Even if my strength is limited on land, I could still hold off that Titled Douluo for a while. Why the hell did you throw such a huge nuclear bomb? Were you trying to blow us all to death?"

Sea Dragon Douluo was furious!

He had been following Tang Dongfeng all along. When Tang Hao appeared, he had planned to stop that old bastard at a critical moment.

At the very least, he could have gotten Tang Dongfeng out of there.

But what happened? Tang Dongfeng had directly tossed out a super Nuclear Explosion, nearly taking them all down with it.

That was also why Sea Dragon Douluo always tried to stay as far away from Tang Dongfeng as possible whenever he fought—he had been traumatized by nuclear explosions.

Nuclear explosions were absurdly powerful, but they did not distinguish between friend and foe. Once one was thrown out, the battle instantly became a fifty-fifty gamble.

Either you died, or I died, or everyone died together.

"Let's... go... to the Crown Prince's... residence."

After leaving those words behind, Tang Dongfeng immediately fainted.

From that battle, Tang Dongfeng had clearly realized his shortcomings.

He desperately lacked control-type skills. He had no way to keep Tang Hao from escaping, nor could he stop Flender, who had fled in advance.

Nuclear explosions were powerful, but if they could not hit anyone, they were useless.

Once Tang Hao became wary in the future, it would become even harder to blow him to death.

Therefore, he was determined to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

At the same time, the long-absent system finally sounded a notification.

Congratulations, Host. You blasted Zhao Wuji 1,300 meters away. Reward multiplied tenfold. Obtained...

Chapter 16: Life Is Like a Play—It All Depends on Acting

Congratulations, Host. You blasted Zhao Wuji 1,300 meters away. Reward multiplied tenfold. Obtained 150 Points.

Congratulations, Host. You blasted Dai Mubai 576 meters away. Reward doubled. Obtained 40 Points.

Congratulations, Host. You blasted Xiao Wu 39 meters away. Reward doubled. Obtained 100 Points.

Congratulations, Host. You blasted Zhu Zhuqing 13 meters away. Reward doubled. Obtained 30 Points.

Congratulations, Host. You blasted Flender 820 meters away. Reward doubled. Obtained 30 Points.

Congratulations, Host. You blasted Tang Hao 24 meters away. Reward doubled. Obtained 100 Points.

Congratulations, Host. You blasted Tang San 11 meters away. Reward doubled. Obtained 200 Points.

One notification after another rang out in Tang Dongfeng's mind.

Unfortunately, he had already passed out. Otherwise, he would surely have marveled at how valuable Tang San was.

Blasting Tang Hao away had only earned 100 Points, while Tang San was worth a full 200.

The Nuclear Domination System had probably established its base scores according to whether someone was a protagonist or supporting character.

It seemed that Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils would be bombed quite often in the future.

After all, when Tang Dongfeng had blasted Seahorse Douluo away, the base score had only been 10.

Tang San's base score was over a hundred Points. Just him alone was worth blasting Seahorse Douluo a thousand meters away.

Under normal circumstances, unless a Soul Master had extremely strong defenses, being blasted over a thousand meters would probably kill them.

Tang Dongfeng remained unconscious for three full days.

When he slowly woke up, every bone in his body felt as though it had cracked apart.

"Water..."

Tang Dongfeng turned his head and coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body was incomparably weak.

"Here."

Sea Dragon Douluo handed him a cup of water, his face deathly pale.

It took three days.

Only a tenth of his injuries had recovered. At the very least, he would need another month of rest before he could fully heal.

This time, to protect Tang Dongfeng, Sea Dragon Douluo had exhausted every last bit of strength just to stay alive.

"Thank you."

Tang Dongfeng leaned against the carriage wall, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

What a Tang Hao!

What a Clear Sky Douluo!

This grudge was now set in stone.

"Look at you. You're just a Soul Grandmaster—why did you have to go head-to-head with a Titled Douluo? You nearly blew yourself to death. Happy now?"

In Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes, Tang Dongfeng's actions had been utterly idiotic.

You were the Sea God heir, a man destined to become the Sea God.

Whoever the hell offended you, you could just become a god later and wipe out their entire family.

Wouldn't that be better?

Yet at such a young age, he insisted on risking his life like everyone else.

"Uncle Sea Dragon, gods have their own levels of strength. If I become a god only under your protection, I ultimately won't be able to stand against those who became gods through their own power."

It was like the difference between a soldier trained in a greenhouse and one who had been on the battlefield and killed before.

There was an essential gap between the two.

Tang Dongfeng did not want to become indecisive or overly cautious. When it was time to risk his life, he would risk it against his enemies.

Only by forging ahead without hesitation and possessing the heart of a strong man could one become a true powerhouse.

Like in the original story, Qian Renxue repeatedly spared her enemies and even fell in love with one.

That was absolutely unacceptable.

Once someone was confirmed as an enemy, they had to be killed.

If a Soul Grandmaster could not kill them, then a Soul Elder would. If a Soul Elder could not, then a Soul Ancestor would.

One day, every enemy would fall beneath his feet.

"Forget it. It's been five years already, and I still haven't changed you in the slightest. We're almost at the Prince's Mansion. What are you planning to do now?"

Sea Dragon Douluo had a headache and did not want to waste any more words on him.

This fellow basically never told him about the schemes he had planned, at most only telling him what he needed to do.

Sea Dragon Douluo had brought Tang Dongfeng to Heaven Dou City, but he knew nothing of the rest.

"Uncle Sea Dragon, show yourself in a moment, then go tend to your injuries. I'll be fine."

Tang Dongfeng's expression turned slightly solemn. He wanted Tang Hao to know that the only outcome of becoming his enemy was death.

Originally, he had not intended to interfere in the feud between Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect.

But since Tang Hao enjoyed killing people, Tang Dongfeng did not mind using Spirit Hall as a sharp blade to stab Clear Sky Sect a few times.

"Got it."

Sea Dragon Douluo resumed his cold expression, got out of the carriage with Tang Dongfeng, and headed toward the Prince's Mansion.

Without question, they were stopped again.

"I wish to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Tang Dongfeng waved the Golden Feather Pendant, now stained with blood.

For more than a year, he had kept this pendant tied to him and had never taken it off.

The faint milky fragrance lingering on it had long become almost imperceptible. Should he ask Xue Qinghe to replenish it?

After all, that refreshing scent was rather exhilarating.

"My lord, please wait a moment."

This time, Tang Dongfeng was not stopped. The guard immediately ran off to notify Xue Qinghe.

That Golden Feather Pendant was Xue Qinghe's personal possession. It was said that he had given it to a mysterious person a year ago.

Today, that person had finally appeared.

"Uncle Sea Dragon, hurry up and leave."

Tang Dongfeng said indifferently.

Now that they had arrived at the Prince's Mansion, having Sea Dragon Douluo constantly putting on airs beside him would only cause trouble.

If he accidentally exposed Tang Dongfeng's plan, the losses would outweigh the gains.

As soon as Tang Dongfeng finished speaking, Sea Dragon Douluo vanished.
