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

It is over...

Tang San gazed at the corpses strewn across the ground, his joy curdling into sorrow.

Grandpa Tang Lan, did you see this?

Little San has already eradicated this fake Tang Sect; next will be the establishment of the true Tang Sect, and then, that Buddha Tang...

But...

Why did his heart suddenly feel so hollow? It was as if he had lost something of immense importance.

Tang San could not quite fathom it, nor did he wish to dwell on it. It could not be that he was unwilling to destroy this "fake Tang Sect" deep down, could it?

Feng Yan, still wearing the guise of the Bamboo God, was drinking tea in a teahouse, a few small side dishes laid out on the table.

"Watching Third Brother personally destroy the Tang Sect he founded—what a delightful affair this is!"

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

Tang San, please set your mind at ease. Once my divine consciousness ascends to the God Realm, I still have a grand surprise waiting for you...

Right, and there are Ah Yin and that rat; I will absolutely not let them off either!

Previously, there was no opportunity in the God Realm, but now, the opportunity has arrived.

Especially that rat—he offended the God of Fire and still wants to become the Master of the Plane?

He deserves to be punished!!!

The aura of five Title Douluo rushing toward him interrupted Feng Yan's train of thought.

Feng Yan swept his divine consciousness across the area and, without a second thought, knew that his hidden chess piece had taken effect.

That Tie Li was quite capable; he had actually managed to summon several Title Douluo.

"Hmm? Why is the Body Sect everywhere? And a level 96 one at that. It looks like the Little Scumbag is in for a miserable time."

After wiping out the Tang Sect, Tang San did not remain idle. He searched for a long time until he finally unearthed a thin booklet from the body of the Tang Sect Master.

It was none other than the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

Driven by curiosity, he placed it on the ground and carefully flipped through it with his spider legs.

However, upon reaching the very first page, Tang San could no longer hold his composure.

The first page clearly stated: Mysterious Heaven Skill, along with hidden weapon techniques... created by the Tang Sect founder—Sea God Tang San.

Tang San?

The same name as mine?

In that moment, Tang San fell into a deep, prolonged contemplation. But soon, struck by some realization, his eyes turned blood-red, accompanied by heavy, ragged breathing.

Very well! Very well indeed, you Buddha Tang!

Stealing the secret arts of the Tang Sect was not enough; you even had to steal the name of me, Tang San, the genius of the Tang Sect!

As if being the founder of this fake Tang Sect wasn't enough, you had to carve my name onto the first page of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record!

You are putting me, Young Master Tang San, on a pedestal only to make me carry this black pot for you!

Thinking of this, Tang San grew angrier by the second. His originally purple-black spider head began to flush red, visible to the naked eye.

He was a once-in-a-century genius of the Tang Sect, capable of even crafting the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus.

Could that Buddha Tang do it? Certainly not; that thief only knew how to steal! And he had even tarnished the reputation of me, Young Master Tang San!

"This is... a Hundred-Thousand-Year Man Faced Spider Emperor! It hasn't gone extinct yet!"

Not far from the Tang Sect, the five Title Douluo had gathered. The first to speak was the one with the highest soul power, the level 96 Super Douluo from the Body Sect.

"Man Faced Spider Emperor? Jin Peng, do you recognize this soul beast?"

The Super Douluo addressed as Jin Peng said coldly, "Watch your tone. My Body Sect is now the protector sect of the Heaven Dou Empire; you should address me as Senior Golden Body!"

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

"It seems that city defense general did not lie to us. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast has actually appeared within Heaven Dou City!"

"I heard it was his nephew, someone called Tie... something, who discovered it..."

Seeing the conversation drifting, Golden Body Douluo hurriedly interjected, "His Majesty's decree is to capture this hundred-thousand-year soul beast alive. But given the current situation, it is better to lure it out of Heaven Dou City first."

"You go wait for me outside the city; I will lure this beast out."

No matter how overbearing the Body Sect acted, they would not fight a hundred-thousand-year soul beast inside Heaven Dou City. That would be a catastrophic disaster for the civilians of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Of course, Tang San was unaware that he had already become prey in the eyes of others.

He was currently venting his rage at the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record on the ground.

Suddenly, he heard a voice:

"Fifth Soul Skill, Flawless Golden Body!"

A burst of intense light erupted from the torso of Golden Body Douluo, and he thrust his right palm forward, sending a massive, brilliant golden palm print rushing toward Tang San.

Tang San reacted the instant he heard the voice, leaving him no time to speak.

He crossed two of his spider legs and slashed them against the incoming palm print; upon impact, the golden print instantly dissipated.

The fifth rule of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: All Tang Sect disciples must not actively provoke trouble, but if someone initiates an attack, they must retaliate with thunderous force.

"To dare to ambush me, you truly have invited your own death!"

A trace of extremely subtle fluctuation flashed through the pupils of Golden Body Douluo.

The defensive power of this 100,000-year Man Faced Spider Emperor was even stronger than he had estimated.

His Vajra Palm Print in the Flawless Golden Body state was not his strongest strike, but even a defensive-type ten-thousand-year soul beast would have suffered severe injuries from it.

Yet, this 100,000-year Man Faced Spider Emperor seemed to have sustained only minor injuries.

However, Golden Body Douluo did not mind; his mission was to lure this 100,000-year Man Faced Spider Emperor out of Heaven Dou City and then initiate a righteous gang-up...

"No wonder the Sea God insisted on exterminating the Man Faced Demon Spider clan back then."

With a sigh, Golden Body Douluo immediately changed direction and fled toward the agreed-upon location outside the city.

Tang San had just lifted his spider legs to give chase when he suddenly recalled the phrase "do not pursue a desperate foe," leaving him caught in a dilemma.

If he pursued... he was unfamiliar with Heaven Dou City, and if an accident occurred...

If he did not pursue... he would be violating the regulations of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, and he could not swallow this insult...

"Forget it, the priority is to find Senior Bamboo God to complete the third trial. I, Tang San, will settle this debt for that palm strike another day!"

Before his voice had even faded, a faint voice drifted from behind him.

"No need to wait for another day; the third trial can begin right now."

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

Feng Yan said, "Tang San, listen to the trial!"

"Bamboo God's Third Trial: Hunt down the Body Sect's Golden Body Douluo. Life or death is irrelevant; the requirement is that you must catch up to him."

"Upon completion, the rewards for both the second and third trials will be issued simultaneously."

Tang San was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then said in a deep voice, "That man is a Titled Douluo?"

"A mere ant at level 96. Tang San, you aren't afraid again, are you?" Feng Yan said with a sigh.

"Set your heart at ease. With your 100,000-year cultivation, combined with that move... fighting across ranks will be easy."

"Besides, even if you can't win, This God will naturally intervene, and the rewards will still be issued."

Tang San felt a sense of relief. Since he had known Senior Bamboo God, the senior's words had never been false.

Since Senior Bamboo God said he would intervene, then he would certainly not be in any great danger.

Thinking of this, Tang San said confidently, "Senior Bamboo God, this junior will go and behead that arrogant fool right now!"
