A Thorough Scoundrel!!!

"So... that is the origin of this boy, Tang San!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's face was etched with astonishment.

The remaining elders exchanged glances, the shock in their hearts unable to settle for a long time.

And when the final image froze upon the sky, revealing that figure holding the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus with a trident brand between his brows, the entire city wall of Jialing Pass fell into a deathly silence.

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply, and a look of genuine agitation appeared on her beautiful face.

She recognized that face!

Was that not...

The greatest enemy of their Martial Soul Empire today, the one who had already inherited a godhood and brought them endless pressure... the Sea God, Tang San!

Above the Jialing Pass city wall, there was not a sound.

Bibi Dong's breathing seemed to have stalled at this moment.

Golden Crocodile Douluo behind her, along with the group of elders, wore expressions that were nothing short of colorful.

From initial bewilderment to mid-way disdain, and now to sheer horror.

Their emotions had risen and fallen with the scenes on the sky, finally settling into a state of deep apprehension.

"Possession and rebirth... this person is not even from this world!"

Ghost Leopard Douluo muttered to himself, his voice dry.

"A villain who was ungrateful in his past life, he is likely even worse in this one!"

Another elder chimed in, his tone filled with disgust.

Golden Crocodile Douluo took a deep breath, his cloudy old eyes flickering with gravity.

"This boy can never be judged by conventional logic."

"He possesses strange methods from another world and a character so base; he is an unprecedented enemy for our Martial Soul Empire!"

Hearing this, the group of Titled Douluo felt their hearts sink.

Indeed.

A soul that had transmigrated from another world, bringing knowledge and techniques that did not belong here, rising all the way to become a deity.

How was one to deal with such an enemy?

A heavy stone pressed down on everyone's hearts, making even their breathing feel labored.

Just as this oppressive atmosphere began to spread, a clear and majestic voice rang out from behind them.

"What is there to panic about?"

The crowd turned around abruptly.

They saw a golden figure who had quietly stood atop the city tower at some point.

She was clad in magnificent and intricate golden divine armor that outlined her perfect, tall figure, her brilliant blonde hair fluttering in the wind like burning holy flames.

Sacred, noble, and inviolable.

It was the Angel God, Qian Renxue!

"Greetings, Lord Angel God!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others hurriedly bowed, their demeanor incomparably respectful.

"Rise."

Qian Renxue spoke indifferently, her gaze not on them, but fixed upon the gradually dissipating sky.

"It is merely the past of a clown being exposed; why the need for such panic?"

Her voice was not loud, yet it carried a power that steadied the heart.

"I have already become a god and hold Jialing Pass; that Tang San cannot stir up any waves."

Hearing this, the fear in the elders' hearts dissipated by more than half.

That's right!

They still had the Angel God!

Tang San was the Sea God, but their Lord Qian Renxue was a deity as well!

Moreover, in the encampment not far behind, there was that mysterious senior holding down the fort.

Although they did not know the specific strength of that senior, even the Angel Holy Sword had voluntarily submitted to him, so his power must be unfathomable.

And... that person was likely the ancestor of the Qian family who had once walked the path to the Angel God throne.

With these two pillars of stability, what did they have to fear!

Their minds settled, and they looked toward Qian Renxue once more.

They saw her standing quietly at the edge of the city wall, her gaze distant as she looked at the firmament, appearing somewhat lost in thought.

Beneath the golden divine armor, her straight, slender jade legs possessed beautiful lines, brimming with an astonishing sense of power and aesthetic grace.

Even through the plating, it was enough to stir infinite reverie. The evening breeze brushed past, lifting her long golden hair and shrouding her entire being in a hazy, sacred halo.

Unfathomable.

Qian Renxue sighed softly in her heart.

She had never imagined that her greatest enemy would have such an origin.

No wonder...

No wonder he could always produce methods never heard of before; no wonder his intellect far surpassed that of an ordinary person.

So, his soul was not that of a youth at all.

"Lord Angel God."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward, his voice deep and grave.

"This Tang San is a reincarnated soul with an unpredictable nature. One can see from his past life's conduct that this person is surely despicable and shameless. We must be extremely cautious in opposing him."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, signaling her agreement.

Another elder also spoke up, his tone laced with lingering fear:

"And that Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus—it is too terrifying! Even when used by an ordinary person, it can severely wound a Titled Douluo. It is simply unheard of!"

"Indeed, it is fortunate that the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking exposed it. Otherwise, if we had been caught completely unprepared by such a thing, we would likely have suffered a great loss!"

The crowd discussed it fervently, their vigilance toward Tang San raised to the highest level.

Unlike the tense and heavy atmosphere atop the city walls.

Behind Jialing Pass, within a quiet courtyard.

A figure sat leisurely beside a stone table, brewing tea all by himself.

It was Qian Ye.

He raised his eyes to glance at the images gradually dissipating in the firmament, a faint smile escaping the corners of his mouth.

"Interesting."

"The first entry on this Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking is so explosive; it truly lives up to its name."

Qian Ye picked up his teacup and took a light sip, his expression calm and detached, as if what he had just witnessed was not a world-shaking secret, but merely an amusing play.

Just then, the images in the firmament vanished completely.

Replacing them were countless golden characters shimmering with flowing light, cascading down like a waterfall.

[Holy cow! What a massive bombshell! The Sea God Tang San is actually a transmigrator who seized a body?]

[Raised by his sect, only to turn around and steal their highest secret manual? His character is truly trash! A total ingrate!]

[Don't talk nonsense upstairs, maybe the Tang Sect didn't treat him well!]

[Heh, the elders in the vision clearly said, "The sect treated you well." Is there even a way to defend that?]

[This Tang San is a despicable villain, plain and simple!]

The Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking had actually manifested the discussions of all living beings in the form of scrolling comments!

Above the firmament, that grand voice resonated once more.

[Tenth place on the Rare Treasures Ranking: Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus.]

[Owner: Sea God Tang San.]

[Heavenly Dao rewards are about to be issued; the owner should prepare.]

As soon as these words fell, the trend of the comments in the sky shifted instantly.

[What? There are rewards for making the list?]

[Heavenly Dao rewards! Those must be heaven-defying treasures!]

[I'm curious what kind of reward could possibly be worthy of such a rare treasure of heaven and earth!]

Shrek camp.

Tang San's face was already so gloomy it seemed ready to drip water.

Seeing those comments on the sky screen calling him a "villain" and an "ingrate," the killing intent in his heart was nearly impossible to suppress.

What dissatisfied him even more was that the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, which he had painstakingly replicated, had only ranked tenth!

This was simply the greatest insult to him!
