"Little San can actually bring people back to life!"
"That's my son! Hahahaha!"
In a shadowy corner of Heaven Dou City, a man in a black cloak jerked his head back and burst into hearty laughter.
His eyes blazed with fervor.
The ability to bring people back to life!
After his wife, Ah Yin, had sacrificed herself for him, all that remained of her was a single seed, which he had planted in a cave in Holy Soul Village.
If his son possessed the ability to resurrect people, then perhaps, within his lifetime, Ah Yin really could be brought back to life by Tang San!
The more the man thought about it, the more excited he became. The light in his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a trace of malice flashed through them.
How could he not know the state of affairs on Douluo Continent?
On the surface, the great sects and factions stood shoulder to shoulder, presenting a flourishing scene.
Behind the scenes, however, underhanded acts like assassinating one another's promising talents happened all too often!
His precious son, Tang San, had now revealed such heaven-defying talent, and even possessed the ability to "Rise again, my beloved!"
Now that other factions knew about this, they would surely do everything they could to eliminate Tang San before he could grow!
Especially Spirit Hall!
The man vanished from where he stood, turning into a streak of shadow as he raced toward the center of Heaven Dou City.
He remembered that his son should be in Heaven Dou City right now.
He had to stay by his son's side at all times and keep him safe!
Inside the Pope's Palace of Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong stared at the words "resurrection" on the Sky Screen, her beautiful eyes widening as disbelief flashed across them.
The strength and origins of Stelle were still a mystery.
But Spirit Hall knew all about Tang San, ranked third.
He was the son of Clear Sky Douluo, and right now, he was only a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor!
With Tang San's current strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to possess the ability to resurrect people!
The Sky Screen was so mysterious that it could lay bare every secret a person had. It simply couldn't be judged by common sense.
Bibi Dong realized at once that Tang San's resurrection ability must belong to his future!
If he could resurrect others, then his future strength had undoubtedly reached the god level!
In other words, the Clear Sky Sect would one day have a god!
Bibi Dong's gaze darkened, her expression turning icy.
If Tang San were allowed to grow up safely, he would surely become a grave threat to Spirit Hall's plans!
She turned to look at Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who stood at her side, and murmured a few quiet instructions.
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance. Their expressions were grave, and they didn't dare waste a moment. They bowed at once and hurried out of the Pope's Palace.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi stared unblinkingly at the words on the Sky Screen, his face full of delight.
He felt that befriending Tang San had been the best decision he'd ever made.
He had not only spent a million Gold Soul Coins to order a batch of Hidden Weapons from Tang San.
He had also made clear the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's goodwill toward him.
Tang San could actually resurrect people!
With Tang San as an ally, how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect fail to prosper?
Especially if Ning Rongrong were ever in danger in the future and met an untimely end.
From what he knew of Tang San, Tang San would surely bring Rongrong back to life!
At the same time, Poison Douluo, far away at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, also saw the news that Tang San could resurrect people.
It instantly reminded him of his wife and children, who had died because of the deadly poison in their bodies.
A deep yearning and hope welled in Poison Douluo's cloudy eyes.
In a daze, he could almost see Tang San bringing his loved ones back to life.
Even the Clear Sky Sect, which had been in seclusion for years, erupted into an uproar when its members saw this ability of Tang San's.
All the elders agreed that they had to summon Tang San back to the sect as soon as possible and focus on training him!
Xiao Wu covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock and hope.
The ability to bring people back to life!
Could it... could it also bring her mother back?
Of course, aside from those eager to curry favor with Tang San, plenty of people had their sights set on Stelle, too.
After all, Stelle possessed the same power of resurrection!
But the Sky Screen had only appeared a short while ago.
Most people had no idea where Stelle was.
Finding her and seeking an alliance was no simple matter. It couldn't be done in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, Stelle stood with her hands on her hips, looking down at Tang San with a smug smile.
A little nobody like Tang San thought he could compare himself to her?
Under Stelle's contemptuous gaze, Tang San felt uneasy, cold sweat trickling down his back.
After all, he was far too weak right now. He was no match for Stelle.
If Stelle suddenly attacked and killed him, who could stop her?
Just as everyone waited with bated breath, the Sky Screen in the sky finally changed.
Several lines of glittering golden text appeared:
[Stelle vs. Tang San, Round One] [Challenge: The identities of the people they wish to resurrect, and why those people died!] [Match Theme: Xiao Wu's Sacrifice vs. Firefly's Three Deaths!]
As soon as the Sky Screen announced this, two figures appeared beside Stelle and Tang San.
A silver-haired girl appeared beside Stelle.
A black hairband held back her hair, while her long silver locks fell down her back.
Her eyes were a clear, resolute gradient of blue above and pink below.
She wore a long dress that was gray on top and green below, paired with dark green stockings.
Her gaze was fiercely steadfast. Her will to face death and rise again was soul-stirring, striking everyone who looked at her.
Beside Tang San stood a girl with a scorpion braid.
Her glossy black braid fell past her calves, and she wore a little pink top that clung tightly to her already-developing, shapely figure.
"Firefly..."
Stelle, who was usually all smiles and jokes, lost her smile the instant she saw the words "Firefly's Three Deaths" on the Sky Screen.
Her expression turned utterly serious.
A faint, unmistakable sorrow flickered between her brows.
There was absolutely nothing romantic about that story!
"Miss, are... are you all right?"
Feeling the anger and sorrow that suddenly burst from Stelle, Castorice hurried over and asked gently, her eyes full of concern.
Even Mimi, who had been floating in midair, obediently flew over to Stelle, her little face filled with concern.
She had recovered a good deal of her memories by now, so she knew about what Stelle had gone through at their previous stop, Penacony.
Comforted by the two of them, Stelle drew a deep breath and slowly shook her head. "I'm fine."
"I just thought of some unpleasant things."
As she spoke, Stelle slowly raised her head and fixed her eyes on the Sky Screen. A resolute glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Without even realizing it, she had clenched her fist.
