I Didn't Bring Shame to the Family; I Raised a God!

Soul Beasts and Spirit Masters had always stood in opposition.

When Titled Douluo saw transformed Soul Beasts, their first thought was to turn them into Spirit Rings. There were simply too many innate obstacles to building emotional bonds.

Unless the benefits of a Soul Beast Sacrifice far exceeded killing the Soul Beast, no sane Spirit Master would choose to form an emotional connection with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Perhaps Tang Hao had seen some extra information slipped in by the Asura God within Slaughter City, such as, "Soul Beast Sacrifice is a shortcut for Spirit Masters to become gods."

The reason no one on Douluo Continent had become a god for so long was precisely because no one had tried the Soul Beast Sacrifice route.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng gave a soft laugh and shook his head.

"Still, none of that matters. I need to find a way to steal Tang Hao's reward first and make the Pokemon feel a strong urge to fight him."

"If he isn't selected, then I'll catch him in reality. The Heaven Ranking's rewards really are quite good—they can let ordinary Pokemon enter the God Rank."

"These are all high-quality materials... But why did Tang Hao make the ranking? Could it be because they've moved past the level eighty stage and entered the level ninety stage?"

Lu Feng could not quite understand it. Quite a few of his Pokemon were capable fighters among level ninety opponents, so why could they not occupy the entire ranking?

Perhaps it was because of Divine Slaughter's Domain. After all, it was an ability related to a god.

When the Sky Screen displayed its evaluation of Tang Hao, the entire continent fell deathly silent for an instant before erupting into an uproar fiercer than ever before!

They were unfamiliar with Pokemon World, but few people of this era did not know the Clear Sky Douluo.

Tang Hao was a God King's pawn! His son Tang San possessed the potential of a God King!

Those two phrases were like red-hot brands seared into everyone's hearts.

The moment this evaluation appeared, the world was shaken!

Then, a concise yet overwhelmingly informative account of his "life" unfolded.

On the screen, the young Tang Hao possessed exceptional talent. At the age of twenty-eight, he passed through Slaughter City and obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain.

Within Slaughter City, he had "accidentally" learned of a secret technique by which Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could voluntarily sacrifice themselves to Spirit Masters. Throughout the long history of Douluo Continent, this technique had almost never been confirmed or widely known.

Afterward, Tang Hao fell in love with and married Ah Yin, the transformed Blue Silver Emperor. Following Ah Yin's pregnancy and childbirth, Tang Hao sought the power of her sacrifice. He even used his own safety and that of his infant son as bargaining chips, pressuring her through both emotion and circumstance.

In the end, in the "perfectly timed" desperate situation of Spirit Hall's encirclement, the Blue Silver Emperor chose to sacrifice herself. Tang Hao used this to break through level ninety in one stroke, becoming the youngest Titled Douluo. He also obtained a Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone. Even without seriously cultivating afterward, his level eventually reached ninety-five.

At this moment, everyone had become numb to the prodigies of Pokemon World. They selectively ignored whatever age and cultivation level they saw.

Compared to this Prodigy Battle, the Sky Screen's exposure of the Tang father and son was clearly far more interesting.

Shrek Academy.

When he saw his father make the ranking, Tang San had initially been somewhat disappointed. After all, Yu Xiaogang had started at number one.

Now, however, he had ended up at seventeenth. That was indeed rather underwhelming.

But when Tang Hao's evaluation appeared—

Tang San felt as if he had been struck by five bolts of lightning. His entire body froze in place, his face so pale it held not a trace of blood, while his body trembled uncontrollably.

"No... That's not it... Father... and Mother... What exactly am I?"

His words were incoherent. The agony of having his faith collapse far surpassed the shock of Yu Yuanzhen's defeat or Yu Xiaogang's humiliation.

At this moment, his mind was no longer on the Prodigy Battle at all.

Yu Xiaogang had just told him the truth, saying that Spirit Hall was his enemy and that it had forced his mother to death.

Yet the father he had always believed endured tremendous pain had, according to the Sky Screen, turned out to be a pawn who plotted against his mother, forced her sacrifice, and paved the way for a God King?

And his own existence seemed to have become part of this game as well? This earth-shattering realization—

made even Tang Hao himself begin to fiercely question everything.

Xiao Wu instinctively took several steps back. Her face was equally pale, and her eyes were filled with fear and worry.

More than anyone else, she could understand the chilling dread of being arranged for "sacrifice."

Because she was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and Tang San's father was a Titled Douluo!

She and Tang San had once returned to Holy Soul Village. Did his father know her identity?

There was no need to doubt it. Tang San had been so young back then; Tang Hao could not possibly have failed to follow them in secret.

Her identity had definitely been exposed. Since he had discovered she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, why had he not acted?

Then, thinking of what had happened to Tang San's mother, everything seemed to have an answer.

Could the feelings between her and Tang San have also been deliberately arranged by Tang Hao?

Was it all so that she would one day sacrifice herself for Tang San too?

Meanwhile, the other Shrek Seven Devils all cast astonished looks toward Tang San.

Their attention was focused more on the Soul from Beyond the Heavens. Although they did not understand what it was—

they all felt that it did not seem like a good thing.

When Yu Xiaogang saw the Sky Screen's evaluation of Tang San as a "Soul from Beyond the Heavens" who "had hopes of becoming a God King," his ashen face, ruined by one misjudgment after another, suddenly burst with astonishing radiance!

He spun around and seized Tang San's shoulders with both hands. His fingers tightened with excitement, and his voice trembled yet rang out with unusual intensity. "Little San! Did you see it? The Sky Screen! Even the Sky Screen acknowledges it! You have what it takes to become a god! A God King! A God King!"

It was as though he had instantly forgotten the humiliation of his father's crushing defeat and his own earlier embarrassment. His eyes burned with near-madness, and his voice grew louder and louder, as though he wanted the entire world to hear:

"I knew it! My judgment could not be wrong! My, Yu Xiaogang's, theories are absolutely correct! They have produced a future God King!"

"Ha ha ha ha! Those who mocked me, those who looked down on my theories, do you see it now?! What did I teach? I taught a god!"

"What is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? What is the Clear Sky Sect? Have they ever raised a god? No! But I, Yu Xiaogang, can! My disciple will be a future God King!"

"I did not bring shame to the family! I proved, in my own way, that theory is the true path to supreme power!"

By the end, tears actually streamed down his face. They carried the release of long-suppressed emotions, twisted pride, and the utmost self-moved elation.

"This... You raised a god?"

For a moment, even Tang San was left speechless by Yu Xiaogang's outrageous declaration.

The other Shrek Seven Devils were dumbfounded as well.

You, Yu Xiaogang, could even ruin the Martial Soul of a Sacred Dragon Seedling through cultivation. Tang San becoming a god was because his parents had drawn the attention of deities.

What the hell did that have to do with you, Yu Xiaogang?

How did you even have the nerve to say something like that?

Ma Hongjun was the first to lose his restraint, muttering under his breath, "This... Didn't Little San become a god because his parents caught the attention of deities? What does that have to do with you, Grandmaster..."

Dai Mubai frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "Grandmaster, Tang San's achievements today come more from his own talent, Martial Soul, and even... those opportunities we do not know about. Your theories may have helped, but saying you raised a god is a little..."

Oscar scratched his head as well. His tone was tactful, but his meaning was clear. "Yeah, Grandmaster. Little San cultivates harder than anyone, and he earned all his combat experience himself. As for the knowledge you taught us... we mostly just listened to it as review..."

Although Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong said nothing, the distance in their eyes and faint disdain explained everything.

Faced with Dai Mubai and the others' nearly explicit doubts and mockery, Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red, yet he argued even more excitedly, "What do you know! Without the guidance of my theories, how could Little San have laid such a solid foundation? How could he have recognized the potential of his own Martial Soul?

How could he have followed the most correct cultivation path? I am his guide! Without me as his teacher, even with the greatest talent, he could have gone astray!"
