Yu Xiaogang: What? I Didn't Enter the God Realm?

"Fine, I'd better answer first."

Tang San looked smugly at the Light Screen in the sky and said with a smile,

"Light Screen, I will bring my teacher—Yu Xiaogang—into the God Realm!"

After saying that, he began eagerly anticipating his reward.

As for whether his answer might be wrong,

Tang San had never even considered that possibility.

He, Tang San, was a man who valued loyalty and righteousness.

How could he possibly fail to help his teacher?!

Yet the next moment,

four words appeared on the Light Screen—

[Wrong answer!]

What?!

It was actually wrong!

The instant Tang San and the others saw the answer,

all color drained from their faces!

No! That was absolutely impossible!

Tang San in particular was completely stunned.

Why had this happened?

Could it be that I wouldn't repay kindness?

What kind of joke was that?!

Yu Xiaogang, standing beside him, looked equally terrible.

As Tang San's mentor,

he couldn't ascend to godhood alongside his student after Tang San became a god?

Yao Lao had gone to the Great Thousand World with Xiao Yan.

Why did he have to remain on Douluo Continent?

Though they were utterly dissatisfied,

the cold truth had already been laid bare before everyone,

and could no longer be changed.

The next moment, an incomprehensible power descended from the void.

The punishment for answering incorrectly began!

Tang San felt something being forcibly stripped away from him!

"My, my Golden Trident is gone!"

Tang San let out a despairing roar.

The Light Screen had stripped away his Golden Trident!

Even when he exhausted his divine power to frantically search the surrounding area,

he could not sense a trace of the Trident!

That was the divine weapon he relied upon in battle!

Without it, Tang San's strength instantly plummeted!

He had never imagined

that the punishment this time would be so severe!

No matter how he tried to resist, appeal, or protest, it was all useless.

The power of this Exposure Projection was far beyond anything he could contend with.

"Ahhh!"

Tang San roared helplessly.

Just then, the title of the next Exposure Projection slowly emerged:

[The Pure and Spotless Tang Buddha, the Humble and Filial Tang San! With Yao Lao in the Endless Fire Territory, where can Yu Xiaogang be found in the God Realm!]

[At level sixty, Father had faults; at level ninety, would he know his mistakes? The God Realm does not concern itself with mortal affairs; my garden is ruled by me!]

This title was unprecedentedly long!

Why did its contents sound so full of contradictions?

What did "pure and spotless" and "respecting one's teacher" mean, and what exactly was implied by the latter half?

The lines below also carried an unmistakable air of double standards.

Did level sixty and level ninety refer to the ranking system of a new world?

A new world actually used numbers to directly indicate levels?

That was rather novel!

Douluo World—

Tang San's face had just turned livid from the punishment,

but when he saw the subsequent subtitles, his gloomy expression froze,

then transformed into wild delight!

At first, he had only given them a casual glance, yet he immediately spotted names such as "Tang San" and "Yu Xiaogang"!

There was no doubt that this Exposure Projection was related to him!

At that moment, Tang San nearly burst into laughter!

Being featured in the Exposure Projection and receiving rewards meant that his strength would soar!

His future self would surely be among the very best, even in the realm of gods!

Xiao Wu watched Tang San become happy again,

and felt faintly worried.

Because the rules previously stated by the Light Screen were—

those who appeared within it would receive rewards.

But not everyone shown on it would be rewarded.

For example, Hun Tiandi.

So could Tang San really receive a reward this time...

[The Pure and Spotless Tang Buddha, the Humble Teacher-Respecting Tang San! With Yao Lao in the Endless Fire Territory, Yu Xiaogang is nowhere to be found in the God Realm!]

[At level sixty, Father had faults; at level ninety, would he know his mistakes? The God Realm does not disturb mortal affairs; my garden is ruled by me!]

[The Exposure will begin in three minutes.]

[...]

[The Exposure officially begins.]

[Bashu, Tang Sect, Ghost Sorrow Cliff.]

[A young figure stood atop Ghost Sorrow Cliff.]

[This cliff was called Ghost Sorrow Cliff. If one threw a stone into the abyss, one had to count to nineteen before hearing the echo. It was considered perilously steep.]

[Its actual height was approximately two hundred to three hundred meters.]

Heavens and Myriad Worlds: ...

Hiss—

For a moment, no one even knew where to begin.

Two to three hundred meters? Ghost Sorrow Cliff?

How had those two things been associated with one another?

For certain low-martial worlds,

or even the ordinary mortal world, a cliff of two to three hundred meters was indeed not short.

But that was all.

Calling it Ghost Sorrow Cliff was surely an exaggeration!

And that was only in ordinary worlds.

If it were placed in a true fantasy cultivation world,

two to three hundred meters?

That was nothing more than a single leap!

Just look at the Dou Qi World. Any random Dou Wang could launch an attack that stretched for a hundred zhang!

A hundred zhang was over three hundred meters!

A casual strike from someone else was already as tall as your cliff,

so how could it be called Ghost Sorrow Cliff?

What kind of world was this, exactly?

[Just as the young man stood atop Ghost Sorrow Cliff, dozens of figures rushed toward him!]

[This young man ranked third among the disciples of the Tang Sect, hence his name, Tang San.]

[Though he was an outer sect disciple, he had secretly learned the inner sect's forbidden secret arts!]

[This was an unforgivable crime that violated the sect rules!]

[But Tang San had already cast everything aside—he had actually succeeded in forging the Tang Sect's supreme hidden weapon, the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus!]

[This was the ultimate hidden weapon, forged through the power of gunpowder!]

[After setting down the earth-shaking hidden weapon, Tang San shattered the clothes covering his body.]

[After shouting that he had not taken anything from the Tang Sect, he leaped from the cliff and ended his own life.]

[There was no other reason. Violating the sect rules was already an unforgivable crime, not to mention that he had secretly read every one of the Tang Sect's secret manuals!]

[To put it bluntly, he was nothing more than a thief.]

[Unfortunately, he acted too quickly and never saw the Tang Sect's Great Elder desperately reach out in an attempt to stop him.]

[In the Great Elder's eyes, anyone capable of forging the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus could break any rule against secretly learning techniques!]

[It would not have been impossible to let Tang San inherit the position of sect master! After all, this was a legendary hidden weapon that no one had managed to recreate for centuries!]

[Yet Tang San left too decisively and missed all of it.]

Heavens and Myriad Worlds: ?

No, wasn't your way of handling things a little too extreme?

Should they praise you for being upright, or call you unbelievably foolish?

Someone capable of forging

a legendary hidden weapon that no one in the Tang Sect had been able to recreate for centuries—

shouldn't the entire Tang Sect have worshipped him like a god?

It was like an outer sect disciple in a fantasy sect

somehow mastering a supreme technique that had been lost for centuries!

Not to mention that this disciple held deep feelings for the sect!

Shouldn't he have been made the sect's holy son and nurtured as its future pillar?

Why did they insist on punishing him?

Was this a joke? It was utterly absurd!

Was Tang San truly the Child of Destiny favored by fate this time?

Why did he seem like his brain did not work very well?

If he was going to jump off a cliff, then just jump. Why did he have to rip off his clothes?

That was far too bizarre!

The Exposure Projection had only just begun, yet the urge to mock had already ignited fiercely throughout the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

This was probably the fastest-falling Child of Destiny in history!
