Seeing Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun on the verge of losing control and mentally collapsing, Tang San said, "The loss of the Immortal Grade Herb is indeed a major blow to our cultivation potential compared to our previous lives, but we are not completely doomed. From now on, I will ask my uncle to let us use the Clear Sky Sect's most specialized cultivation method to stimulate our Soul Power breakthrough as soon as possible."
"Furthermore, the resources provided by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for cultivation can be refined into pills using the experience I gained in my previous life, allowing their medicinal power to be fully absorbed by our bodies and further enhancing our cultivation speed."
Ma Hongjun, his eyes red and his face full of sorrow, said, "But Third Brother, can these compare to Immortal Grade Herb?"
Tang San replied, "Of course, that's incomparable. Didn't I say that losing the Immortal Grade Herb doesn't mean we're completely doomed? The Immortal Grade Herb are important for our advancement at the Soul Elder stage, but what truly transforms us is the Sea God Trial."
"A slower cultivation speed in this life does not mean that you are completely unable to become gods. My great-grandfather, Tang Chen, was over a hundred years old and still gained the recognition of the Asura God, who sent down the Asura God test. It was only because my great-grandfather's character was not quite right and he was ambushed by the Rakshasa God that he failed the Asura God test."
"This shows that the most important thing for Soul Master to become a god is their character. Temporary setbacks are nothing. If you are truly defeated by these setbacks, then you have truly failed."
To be honest, if Tang San hadn't known that he was chosen by the Asura God, he would probably have been even more desperate than Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun. Not only were his Immortal Grade Herb stolen, but his External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, was also taken away, and his mother was kidnapped by the Spirit Hall.
If his mother isn't rescued and helped to awaken his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, then his Martial Soul will remain Blue Silver Grass forever. Instead of following the orthodox path of cultivating Blue Silver Grass, he pursued the poison path, cultivating to Soul King and Soul Emperor, at which First Martial Soul was ruined.
After Tang San becomes the Supreme God, he can manage to open the back door to the godhood again. However, before Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun's talents are completely depleted to the point that they can no longer inherit the godhood, he still needs to stabilize the mentality of the three of them.
Ma Hongjun, who failed to inherit the position of the Fire God in his previous life, understood Tang San's words best. He wiped away his tears and said, "Third Brother is right. If I give up on myself, then I will truly have no chance to be with Xiangxiang and inherit the position of the God of Fire God in this life."
"Perhaps I will not be able to inherit the divine position in this life, but I must win back Xiangxiang and grow old with her, with many children and grandchildren."
Dai Mubai and Oscar's morale has improved considerably. Compared to Ma Hongjun, who is tormented by the Evil Fire, their situation is much better. In their previous lives, they were both around thirty years old when they inherited their godhood. As long as things go smoothly, besides the opportunities from the Immortal Grade Herb, they will still have the chance to inherit their godhood. It would only be twenty years later, around fifty years old, which is not too late.
In this era, apart from geniuses with extremely astonishing talent like Tang Hao and Bibi Dong, 99% of geniuses with the potential to become Title Douluos broke through to Titled Douluo after the age of 50. Even Sword Douluo, who reached the 97th level of Titled Douluo, broke through to Titled Douluo not long before the age of 70.
Dai Mubai said that at worst he would run away again after the Elite Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition. The world is so big, how could Dai Weisi possibly search for him inch by inch, especially in the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire?
"Mistress, there's something I need to tell you, and you'd better be prepared."
After inquiring about the Immortal Grade Herb, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun looked at each other, keeping their eyes down, noses down, mouths down, and minds down. In the end, it was Dai Mubai, the eldest of the three, who chose to tell Tang San this information that was very likely to make him lose control.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Tang San's thoughts flashed, and the doubt on his face turned into anxiety. "Has something happened to Xiao Wu?!"
"It is indeed about Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu is fine and staying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy." Dai Mubai paused, looked at Tang San, and slowly said, "Tang San, Xiao Wu and Yu Tianheng seem to have a rather close relationship."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot, he started panting heavily, and a chilling killing intent emanated from every pore of his body, sending shivers down one's spine.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were all prepared for Tang San's change. They all knew very well just how strong Tang San's possessiveness towards Xiao Wu was.
For details, please refer to Oscar. In his previous life, Tang San's appearance changed drastically, and Oscar did not recognize Tang San after his Blue Silver Emperor awakening. Just because Tang San was getting closer to Ning Rongrong and their way of addressing each other was more intimate, without even any physical contact, Oscar wanted to kill Tang San with the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. And Tang San's possessiveness towards Xiao Wu was far greater.
At one point in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Tianheng and Xiao Wu walked together. As a directly affiliated academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was naturally built with a huge amount of money. Not only were the teaching buildings and dormitories full of aristocratic atmosphere, but the scenery of the academy had also been transformed and was extremely beautiful, making it a top-notch tourist destination.
Love among young people is naturally incredibly swift, especially since Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old Rogue Rabbit. In the original work, her actions and words are always incredibly ambiguous with Tang San.
Even the wooden-headed Tang San was often embarrassed by being teased, his blood flow accelerating, let alone the nineteen-year-old Yu Tianheng, who possessed the dragon-like Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
Based on the dialogue between the members of the Imperial Fighting Team in the original novel, it is highly likely that Yu Tianheng, at the age of nineteen, was already in a complete romantic relationship with Dugu Yan.
Yu Tianheng, who should have been proud and arrogant, with an inner pride no less than Dai Mubai's, actually looked somewhat flustered. Besides the fact that it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl as Xiao Wu, the main reason was that his strength was inferior to Xiao Wu's, and his cultivation talent was far behind Xiao Wu. He was a level 39 Soul Elder at the age of 19, while Xiao Wu was a level 42 Soul Ancestor at the age of 12. The difference in talent was simply enormous.
Furthermore, in this relationship, it wasn't him pursuing Xiao Wu, but rather Xiao Wu pursuing him. On the way to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he sensed that Xiao Wu's attitude towards him was unusual.
He came to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy on orders from his family, for Ye Lingling's sake.
Yu Tianheng was somewhat conflicted about Xiao Wu, who was pursuing him. Ye Lingling was, to put it nicely, a melancholy goddess, but to put it bluntly, she was just a quiet, reserved person. Although she was beautiful, with his status and talent, did he really lack beautiful women?
Two girls, one quiet and incredibly boring; the other lively, energetic, exceptionally talented, and adorable—any normal man would know which to choose.
Therefore, Yu Tianheng went to his uncle Yu Xiaogang and told Yu Xiaogang about his troubles. Yu Xiaogang thought about it for a moment and then told Yu Tianheng to choose Xiao Wu.
Yu Xiaogang learned that Yu Tianheng's pursuit of Ye Lingling was actually on the orders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but he still did not hesitate and told Yu Tianheng to choose Xiao Wu.
In Yu Xiaogang's eyes, Xiao Wu was Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast, guaranteed to become a level 95 Titled Douluo in the future. What was Ye Lingling compared to that? Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul? What kind of Martial Soul was that? Never heard of it.
