Tang San's Thick Skin: Why Make Excuses for Defeat?

[After taking out the Sea God Trident, Tang San collapsed from exhaustion.]

[Bo Saixi, a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, had to release her Martial Soul and exert all her strength just to barely move it.]

[Later, only with the enhancement of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was she barely able to relocate it.]

[Its weight of one hundred and eight thousand jin actually required a Peerless Douluo to go all out in order to wield it.]

Heavens and Myriad Worlds: ...What?

Wait?

Did I see that right?

The peak power below the god level in your world was only one hundred and eight thousand jin?

Although strength was not the sole measure of power,

wasn't that figure far too ridiculous for the world's top experts?!

Even if they were not strength-type Spirit Masters, how much stronger could those who specialized in strength be?

Even if you counted it as one hundred and fifty thousand jin, or even two hundred thousand jin, so what?

Your world's top combat power was only at this level?

For a time, the Heavens and Myriad Worlds' estimation of Douluo World's god-level power

plummeted to rock bottom.

If even Peerless Douluo were like this, how much stronger could they become after attaining godhood?

The power system of this world was far weaker than they had imagined!

The eight-hundred-jin Clear Sky Hammer had already revealed some clues earlier,

but they had not expected something even more shocking to come afterward!

Heavenly Source World—

Zhou Yuan wore a strange expression as he considered the concept of one hundred thousand jin.

The strength of Divine Dwelling Realm cultivators in his world was probably greater than that, wasn't it?

No, perhaps even the Initial Realm could surpass it.

One hundred and eight thousand jin sounded intimidating, but to cultivators,

it was not particularly astonishing.

Converted into tonnage, it was merely fifty-four tons.

Whether that level of strength could even shatter a mountain was uncertain.

How powerful could it really be?

And this was actually the physical limit of Douluo World's human experts!

Although the amplification from soul skills had not yet been calculated,

Bo Saixi had already used her Martial Soul and Soul Power.

In other words, even with Soul Power enhancement, the peak strength of this world

was only this much.

This sight left Zhou Yuan astonished.

Could it be...

that the so-called Douluo World was truly this weak?

If he cultivated to the Initial Realm, he could probably dominate that world!

By that measure, Tang San's cultivation speed no longer seemed so remarkable.

After all, even upon reaching the Peerless Douluo realm, he was at most comparable to a cultivator who had just entered the Divine Dwelling Realm here.

He might even be unable to defeat certain top Initial Realm experts.

"That world's system of laws is rather novel, but its power level is simply too weak."

Yao Yao also offered a soft assessment at this moment.

By absorbing Spirit Rings to obtain soul skills, without needing to study techniques similar to Source Arts,

this cultivation method struck her as quite novel.

It was equivalent to saving the time needed to study offensive techniques,

allowing one to devote all their effort to increasing one's realm.

"But this system also has obvious flaws."

"Relying entirely on the Spirit Ring system has resulted in almost no original soul skills in the entire world that do not depend on Spirit Rings."

"That is why techniques such as Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, which Tang San brought from his previous life, appear so profound in this world."

"Techniques of that level probably would not even meet the threshold for Mystic Source Arts where we come from."

Wu Yao gave a disdainful snort, making no effort to conceal her contempt.

She had always spoken bluntly. Inferior was inferior,

and no matter how unique the system was, it could not change its crude essence.

The various offensive and defensive techniques and healing secret arts of Heavenly Source World

either originated from self-creation or inherited the wisdom of predecessors.

They could all be passed down through generations, requiring only time and effort to study,

though some Source Arts also required specific materials as support.

In contrast, Douluo World

was almost entirely constrained by the Spirit Ring system. Without Spirit Rings, one could not move an inch!

That was what made Tang San's hidden weapons and internal cultivation methods seem so distinctive.

In Wu Yao's eyes, however, these tricks were all beneath notice.

As a deity of Heavenly Source World, she naturally had the insight and confidence to judge them so.

"The rules of every world are different. Why force such comparisons? Perhaps even the cosmic eras we inhabit are entirely different."

Zhou Yuan shook his head with a light laugh, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

Though he said that,

he likewise believed that Douluo World's cultivation system was indeed rather low-level.

It had originally seemed to be a world with considerable potential,

but unfortunately, the Child of Destiny's character was questionable, and its power system was also so weak.

Perfect World—

Shi Hao truly had not expected this.

He had thought he had already rated the status of the Blood Moving Extreme Realm in Douluo World highly enough.

Comparing it to level ninety-six or ninety-seven Title Douluo had already given them ample credit.

Who would have thought that this world's level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo was only comparable to half a step into the Blood Moving Extreme Realm!

At the Blood Moving Extreme Realm, one arm possessed divine strength of one hundred thousand jin. With both arms combined, there was even less need to mention it.

And that was not even a full-power burst.

If he were lifting weights like Bo Saixi in the footage,

he might not be unable to move an object weighing two hundred and seventy or two hundred and eighty thousand jin.

Therefore, Bo Saixi, who had barely lifted one hundred and eight thousand jin,

was at most equivalent to half a step into the Blood Moving Extreme Realm!

How absurd!

What kind of cultivation world could be so impoverished?

Cultivating to the peak realm, only to be comparable to their entry-level stage?

[After successfully obtaining the Sea God Trident, the Shrek Seven Devils bid one another farewell and left Sea God Island one after another.]

[Tang San planned to first attach Spirit Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, expecting it to help him break through the level ninety bottleneck.]

[But while preparing to hunt Spirit Beasts, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.]

[Confident in his increased strength, he went alone to investigate the source of that aura.]

[To his surprise, he encountered the ruler of the Capital of Slaughter—the King of Slaughter!]

[After Tang San used the Snowy Swan Kiss to destroy the Capital of Slaughter, this king began frantically searching for those who had entered that place back then.]

[The poison of the Snowy Swan Kiss had also made him violent and bloodthirsty.]

[Everyone he encountered was either killed or injured!]

[He had deliberately released his aura this time precisely to lure Tang San out.]

[After several exchanges, Tang San still fell into a disadvantage despite his greatly increased strength after acquiring the Sea God Trident!]

[He tried to purify his opponent with the Sea God's Light, only to find that the purified King of Slaughter became even stronger!]

[With pressure alone, he shook this Spirit Douluo, who was close to becoming a Title Douluo, until blood spilled from his internal organs!]

[Just as Tang San fell into despair and pondered how to protect Xiao Wu, he discovered that his opponent's mind was gradually becoming clear.]

[Only after speaking with him did he realize in shock that the person before him was actually his great-grandfather, Tang Chen!]

[The feeling of frustration from his earlier defeat instantly vanished.]

[Why? Because he consoled himself in his heart: What kind of person was his great-grandfather? He was a Peerless Douluo as famous as Qian Daoliu!]

[What shame was there in losing to such an expert?]

[Being able to withstand his pressure for this long already proved that he himself was remarkably strong!]

Seeing this, everyone in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds was dumbfounded.

Friend, the thickness of your skin was truly admirable!

You could instantly accept such self-deceiving nonsense in its entirety?

So losing to your great-grandfather did not count as losing.

How could you take such shameless reasoning so completely for granted?

Defeat was defeat. Did it depend on the identity of the opponent?

By that logic, losing to anyone with higher cultivation did not count as a real defeat?

By now, everyone in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds had seen clearly

that this Child of Destiny possessed an arrogance deep in his bones that looked down on everyone else,

and regardless of what situation he encountered, he believed that he was bound to stand above others.
