Bamboo God's Third Trial: Hunt Down Golden Body Douluo

It was over...

Tang San gazed at the bodies strewn across the ground, feeling as though his joy had turned to sorrow.

Grandpa Tang Lan, did you see?

Xiao San had already wiped out this fake Tang Sect. Next, he would establish the real Tang Sect, and deal with that Buddha Tang...

But...

Why had his heart suddenly become so hollow? It was as if he had lost something incredibly important.

Tang San couldn't understand it, and didn't want to think about it either. Surely it wasn't that deep down, he didn't want to wipe out this "fake Tang Sect"?

Feng Yan still looked like the Bamboo God. He was drinking tea in a teahouse, with several plates of snacks spread across the table.

"How delightful, watching San-ge destroy the Tang Sect he founded with his own hands!"

Little Scumbag, this was the price you paid for daring to lay a hand on my Wutong!

Tang San, relax. Once that wisp of divine consciousness of mine reached the Divine Realm, I'd have an even bigger surprise waiting for you...

Oh, and I wouldn't let Ah Yin and Haozi off either!

I hadn't had the chance back in the Divine Realm, but now the opportunity had finally come.

Especially that Haozi. He'd offended the God of Fire and still wanted to become the Plane Master?

He deserved to be punished!!!

The auras of five Titled Douluo racing toward him interrupted Feng Yan's thoughts.

Feng Yan swept them with his divine sense. Without a second thought, he knew his hidden move had worked.

Tie Li had some tricks up his sleeve. He'd actually managed to summon several Titled Douluo.

"Hm? Why was the Body Sect everywhere? And this one was already level 96. Little Scumbag was in for a rough time."

After wiping out the Tang Sect, Tang San hadn't been idle. He searched for a long while, and finally found a thin booklet on the Tang Sect's leader.

It was the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

Curious, he set it on the ground and carefully flipped through it with his spider legs.

But the moment he saw the first page, Tang San lost his composure.

There, in bold letters, were the words: Mysterious Heaven Skill and Hidden Weapon techniques... created by the Tang Sect's founding patriarch, Sea God Tang San.

Tang San?

Someone with the same name as me?

Tang San pondered this for a long while. But soon, as if he'd thought of something, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his breathing grew unbearably heavy.

Good! Good one, Buddha Tang!

Stealing the Tang Sect's secret arts wasn't enough—you even had to steal the name of Tang San, the Tang Sect's genius!

Being the founding patriarch of this fake Tang Sect wasn't enough for you. You had to carve my name onto the first page of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, too!

You were trying to pin a lofty title on me, Tang San, and then make me take the blame for you!

The more Tang San thought about it, the angrier he got. His purplish-black spider head began turning red right before their eyes.

He was a once-in-a-century genius of the Tang Sect. He'd even managed to craft the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus.

Could that Buddha Tang do the same? Of course not. That thief only knew how to steal! And now he'd tarnished my good name, too!

"This is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Man Faced Spider Emperor! They're not extinct after all!"

Not far from the Tang Sect, five Titled Douluo had gathered. The first to speak was the one with the highest Soul Power among them, the Body Sect's level-96 Super Douluo.

"Man Faced Spider Emperor? Jin Peng, you recognize this Soul Beast?"

The Super Douluo called Jin Peng said coldly, "Mind your words. The Body Sect is now the Heavenly Soul Empire's protector sect. You should call me Senior Golden Body!"

"Yes... Senior Golden Body..."

"It seems that city defense general wasn't lying. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast really has appeared in Heaven Dou City!"

"I heard his nephew found it—the one named Tie something-or-other..."

Seeing the conversation veer further and further off course, Golden Body Douluo hurriedly spoke up. "His Majesty's order is to capture this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast alive. But given the current situation, we should lure it out of Heaven Dou City first."

"You all wait outside the city. I'll draw the beast out."

No matter how overbearing the Body Sect could be, they wouldn't fight a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast inside Heaven Dou City. For the common people of the Heavenly Soul Empire, that would be nothing short of a calamity.

Of course, Tang San had no idea that he'd become prey in the eyes of certain people.

At that moment, he was raging at the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record lying on the ground.

Suddenly, he heard a voice:

"Fifth Soul Skill, Flawless Golden Body!"

Golden light burst from Golden Body Douluo's torso. Then he thrust out his right palm, sending a huge, gleaming golden palm print hurtling toward Tang San.

Tang San reacted the moment he heard the voice, with no time to say anything.

He crossed his two spider legs and swung them at the oncoming palm print. As the legs collided with it, the golden palm print vanished instantly.

The fifth rule of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: Tang Sect disciples must not provoke trouble of their own accord. But if anyone attacked them, they must repay them with the thunderbolt.

"How dare you ambush me? You've truly chosen the road to your own death!"

A flicker of something exceedingly subtle passed through Golden Body Douluo's pupils.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Man Faced Spider Emperor's defense was stronger than he'd expected.

His Vajra Palm Print, unleashed while he was in his Flawless Golden Body state, wasn't his strongest attack. But even a defensive Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would have been gravely injured by it.

Yet this Hundred-Thousand-Year Man Faced Spider Emperor seemed to have suffered no more than a minor wound.

But Golden Body Douluo didn't care. His mission was to lure the Hundred-Thousand-Year Man Faced Spider Emperor out of Heaven Dou City, then launch a righteous group beating...

"No wonder Sea God wiped out the Man Faced Demon Spider clan back then."

After a sigh, Golden Body Douluo immediately changed direction and fled toward the agreed rendezvous outside the city.

Tang San had just started after him when the phrase "never chase a cornered enemy" suddenly came to mind. For a moment, he was caught between two choices.

Chase him... He wasn't familiar with Heaven Dou City. What if something went wrong...

Let him go... That would violate the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record's rules, and he couldn't swallow his anger either...

"Forget it. The most urgent thing is to find Senior Bamboo God and complete the Third Trial. I'll settle this palm strike with him another day!"

Before he had even finished speaking, a faint voice came from behind him.

"Not another day. The Third Trial can begin right now."

Hearing the familiar voice, Tang San turned around instinctively and asked in confusion, "Senior Bamboo God, what do you mean?"

Feng Yan said, "Tang San, listen to your task!"

"Bamboo God's Third Trial: hunt down Golden Body Douluo of the Body Sect. Dead or alive. You must catch up to him."

"Once you complete it, the rewards for the Second Trial and Third Trial will be issued together."

Tang San was taken aback, then asked in a low voice, "That man is a Titled Douluo?"

"Just a level-96 ant. Don't tell me you're scared again, Tang San?" Feng Yan said with a sigh.

"Relax. With your Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation, and that move of yours... fighting above your level will be a piece of cake."

"Besides, even if you can't beat him, I'll step in myself. You'll still get the rewards."

Tang San felt relieved. Ever since he'd met Senior Bamboo God, the man had never lied to him.

Since Senior Bamboo God said he'd step in, Tang San wouldn't be in any real danger.

With that thought, Tang San declared confidently, "Senior Bamboo God, I'll go cut down that fool who's begging for death!"
