Destroying the Capital of Slaughter? Was Tang San Clever or Foolish?

If the one teaching Tang San had not been Yu Xiaogang,

but Tang Hao, a Title Douluo,

then Tang San's achievements might have been far more dazzling than they were now!

After all, Yu Xiaogang had never truly provided Tang San with any substantial help—

his only contribution

was introducing Tang San to Shrek Academy, where he met that group of exceptionally gifted classmates.

As for actual teaching resources?

Heh, they simply did not exist!

Douluo World—

As Tang San watched the footage from an observer's perspective,

he felt nothing toward those lucky romantic kisses.

Xiao Wu was the only one in his heart;

all that intimacy had merely been fleeting clouds.

Even when faced with Qian Renxue's temptation during the Nine Trials of the Sea God, he had never wavered.

What concerned him more

was realizing from this entirely new perspective

that the Grandmaster's actions indeed contained many suspicious points.

As an honorary elder of Spirit Hall, something even Dugu Bo knew as common knowledge,

how could he not have known?

As a scholar who had read through Spirit Hall's records,

it simply made no sense.

In other words, the Grandmaster might have known from the very beginning that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was anything but an ordinary Martial Soul.

Yet he had kept the truth hidden from him all along.

Could the Grandmaster's purpose... have been to prove to the world that "there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Spirit Masters"?

After all, Tang San had become a peak powerhouse by cultivating Blue Silver Grass as his primary Martial Soul,

with the Clear Sky Hammer serving only as support.

Therefore, he had always been the ideal example for proving the Grandmaster's theory!

"Just for that reason, you kept me in the dark all this time?"

"Do you know how much suffering I endured because of it?!"

Resentment quietly arose in Tang San's heart, but since he had already acknowledged the other man as his adoptive father,

he absolutely could not reveal even the slightest dissatisfaction now.

Otherwise, the reputation he had built over so many years would surely be ruined in an instant.

Besides, he was now a god,

so there was no need to dwell too much on these old matters.

Thus, he turned toward the Grandmaster and "smiled" as he shook his head,

indicating that he did not mind.

The Grandmaster had long been nervously watching Tang San's reaction,

and upon seeing that gesture, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Back then, he had indeed intended to use this prized disciple to verify his theory—

"There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Spirit Masters"!

Blue Silver Grass was the most perfect example!

And Tang San's later rise to fame had indeed won him countless honors and washed away his former humiliation!

He had used Tang San to prove that his theory was completely correct!

However, with this footage now exposed,

whether his reputation could still be maintained was truly in question.

[After Blue Silver Grass evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San set out for the true trial ground indicated by Tang Hao—

[The Capital of Slaughter! That forbidden domain filled with bloodshed and chaos.

[Martial Soul skills were forbidden here. One could survive only by relying on pure physical strength and combat techniques.

[After accumulating one hundred victories, one could set foot on Hell Road; those who successfully passed it

[would gain a domain ability that even Title Douluo desperately coveted—Divine Slaughter's Domain!

[Here, Tang San encountered his former opponent, Hu Liena.

[But because his appearance had changed drastically after the Blue Silver Emperor awakened, she did not recognize him.

[Hu Liena was instead drawn to Tang San's new appearance and strength, quietly falling for him.

[After noticing this, Tang San took advantage of those feelings and formed an alliance with her to brave Hell Road together!

[In truth, Tang San had recognized Hu Liena the moment he entered the Capital of Slaughter.

[He had also keenly sensed the changes in her feelings—and that was exactly what he wanted.

[He could not possibly return her feelings, but using them as leverage could not have been more fitting.

[Once they had both achieved one hundred victories, they joined forces and entered Hell Road.

[In the end, both successfully cleared it and obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain.

[However, before leaving, Tang San tossed an Immortal Herb called the "Snowy Swan Kiss" into the depths of Hell Road.

[The crimson liquid at the bottom of the path was actually the Capital of Slaughter's unique "Bloody Mary"—a poisonous wine made from human blood.

[Though this poison did not take effect immediately, it slowly eroded one's mind.

[Yet it was also the addictive substance the fallen relied on to survive.

[Some even suffered worse than death if they went a single day without drinking it.

[The "Snowy Swan Kiss" could amplify toxicity hundreds or thousands of times over,

[which meant the blood pool below had transformed from a swamp of chronic poison into a deadly toxin that killed upon contact!

[Tang San's purpose in doing this was to completely destroy the Capital of Slaughter.

[Two years of experience had taught him just how filthy this place was—

[All those gathered within were scum who deserved to die!

[And the Capital of Slaughter was nothing more than an enormous garbage dump!

[Therefore, he felt no guilt whatsoever over the countless deaths that might result.

[He regarded this slaughter as clearing the world of filth that should never have existed.

[From this day onward, this land of sin would cease to exist.

Heavens and Myriad Worlds:...

Something was wrong.

Very wrong—wrong to the extreme!

On the surface, Tang San seemed to be carrying out justice on behalf of heaven, removing a massive blight from the world.

He had completely destroyed the Capital of Slaughter and wiped out every villain within,

as if he had merely made all the world's filth evaporate.

But the truth was far more complicated than that!

What exactly was the Capital of Slaughter?

It was like a sealed garbage-processing facility specifically designed to contain evil.

Most importantly—this garbage facility was basically a one-way entrance with no exit!

Over the past century, only a handful of people had managed to leave.

The remaining villains could only spend their entire lives fighting, scheming, and slaughtering one another inside.

This place seemed cruel and bloody, and those within truly deserved death,

but they had never harmed the outside world in the slightest!

All evil was confined within this prison.

Ordinary people outside would not be affected at all.

If the residents of the Capital of Slaughter were compared to garbage,

then the Capital of Slaughter was the only facility capable of digesting and purifying that garbage!

And now, you had actually blown up that one and only processing plant—

where would all the garbage be dumped in the future?!

At first, many people across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds had failed to see this point.

Some had even praised Tang San for eliminating a menace and doing something deeply satisfying.

But after thinking it through carefully, more and more people came to their senses—

This simply made no sense!

The Capital of Slaughter had been a natural containment facility for evil.

Now that you had destroyed it, where would the villains of the continent go in the future?

Originally, they would have been left to fend for themselves inside.

Now, they could only roam free outside and continue harming the world!

Good heavens, how was this eliminating a menace for the people?

It was clearly stripping the future Douluo Continent of its final barrier for dealing with evil!

What was more, you had just accepted the Capital of Slaughter's gift—

You had comprehended Divine Slaughter's Domain here, had you not?

The moment you gained benefits from it, you turned around and destroyed the place.

Wasn't that

a little too ungrateful?

If the villains of the Capital of Slaughter had not died but instead escaped into the world,

then for the Spirit Masters and civilians of the continent,

it would undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster!

Besides, could one simply destroy a garbage dump completely

just because it was filthy and disgusting?

Did that truly make any sense?

Was this a decision any rational person would make?

The garbage dump was gone.

So how would future garbage be dealt with?!

Had this guy really thought it through?
