"God King and Dou Di?"

In the main timeline of the Douluo world, many fell silent; after all, they had never heard of a Dou Di.

They had heard of gods, but without absolute certainty, those in high positions dared not answer casually.

God Realm.

The God of Destruction pondered inwardly, his right hand stroking his chin.

"Asura God, why don't you answer first? I feel the God King is stronger."

The Asura God rolled his eyes, looking at the God of Destruction with disdain:

"Do you take me for an idiot? If I answer wrong, I'll be the one punished, while you'll be perfectly fine."

The God of Destruction gave an awkward smile but didn't take it to heart; he had harbored such intentions, and he didn't think the Asura God would answer either.

These gods were a cautious bunch.

Lower Realm.

Dai Mubai heard there were rewards and was eager to try; something capable of causing such a massive scale should at least reward a Spirit Bone.

If he could obtain a Spirit Bone, he would finally have the strength to contend with his older brother, Dai Weisi.

"Tang San, who do you think is stronger, the God King or the Dou Di?"

This question stumped Tang San.

His instinct was to say he was the strongest—after all, he couldn't exactly doubt himself—but he had never seen a God King, let alone understood what a Dou Di was. Who knew who was actually stronger?

However, since Dai Mubai had asked, Tang San could not afford to back down.

He held his head high and replied:

"It must be the God King. The King of Gods, the pinnacle of the God Realm. As for the Dou Di, 'Emperor of the Ages'—just look at Great Emperor Xue Ye."

It was fortunate that Great Emperor Xue Ye was not present, or he would have truly wanted to slap Tang San to death.

Was he, a Great Emperor, really that embarrassing?

Dai Mubai heard this and thought it made sense, but he still didn't dare answer casually, so he turned to coax Ma Hongjun:

"Ma Hongjun, you absolutely cannot miss this opportunity. This is a chance to obtain rewards."

Ma Hongjun: "..."

He might be a bit chubby, but that didn't mean he was stupid. What if the answer was wrong? Even Dai Mubai wasn't answering himself.

Tang San felt a bit dissatisfied at this; wasn't this a lack of trust in him? If they didn't believe him, why ask?

Outside the arena, a strange glint shone behind Yu Xiaogang's glasses, his eyes filled with madness.

He didn't understand the Live Broadcast Room in the sky, but he was certain that the rewards within were absolutely mysterious and might just be able to help him.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was not something Yu Xiaogang would miss; it was worth a gamble.

As for who to bet on, he chose to believe in Tang San.

Innate full Soul Power, Twin Martial Souls.

"I choose Tang San. The God King is the strongest; a Dou Di is far inferior to a God King."

Yu Xiaogang answered with a tone full of confidence.

"Xiaogang."

Flender and Liu Erlong tried to stop him.

After all, answering incorrectly carried a penalty, and who knew what that penalty might be? It was not something ordinary people like them could withstand.

Yu Xiaogang didn't take it to heart; instead, he pointed at Tang San and said:

"I believe in my disciple, the future God King Tang San, who will surely be able to defeat a Dou Di."

He wouldn't admit that he wanted to gamble to obtain rewards to further his own Martial Soul.

However, Flender had guessed it, and Liu Erlong also understood Yu Xiaogang's intentions, though neither spoke of it explicitly.

[Answer incorrect. Martial Soul undergoes inferior mutation once more.]

Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale in an instant. His Martial Soul had mutated into an inferior state again; it was already poor to begin with—was there any way to survive if it continued to mutate?

He could almost imagine how embarrassing his Martial Soul would become. It was all Tang San's fault.

This useless disciple was of no use at all; it was just a mere Dou Di, and he couldn't even beat that.

The next moment, Yu Xiaogang could feel his Martial Soul letting out a mournful cry, and his Soul Power was plummeting rapidly.

From his original level twenty-nine, it crashed all the way down to level twenty, nearly falling to nineteen.

"No..."

Yu Xiaogang reached out, screaming in agony, before stumbling and collapsing to the ground.

It was as if background music had begun to play in his ears.

Snowflakes drifting...

Flender and Liu Erlong had originally intended to ask, but upon seeing the expression on Yu Xiaogang's face, they realized he had answered incorrectly.

Yu Xiaogang's unusual behavior drew the attention of many.

"What's wrong with that guy?"

"He probably answered the question wrong and is suffering the penalty."

"Looking at his expression, the penalty must be quite severe."

Meanwhile, at Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong, being a clever woman, did not know what to choose, but that did not matter; she could have someone else make the choice for her, providing a correct or incorrect option.

This was far smarter than Yu Xiaogang.

Bibi Dong immediately issued an order to the person below.

"You, choose God King Tang San. Regardless of what the penalty is, I will reward you with a 30,000-year Soul Bone and personally help you hunt for your future spirit rings."

Below, Bibi Dong's loyal knight deeply embodied what it meant to be a die-hard subordinate.

He answered without hesitation:

"I choose God King Tang San."

[Answer incorrect, five levels of Soul Power deducted.]

Compared to Yu Xiaogang, this penalty was relatively light, and it could be cultivated back in the future.

The Temple Knight did not care about his own penalty and turned to report:

"My Lady Bibi Dong, God King Tang San is the wrong choice; one should choose Dou Di."

Bibi Dong turned her head toward the sky and answered:

"I choose Dou Di. Dou Di is stronger than the God King."

[Answer correct, obtained one 100,000-year God-Bestowed Spirit Ring.]

The next second, a beam of light drifted down from the sky, flew directly in front of Bibi Dong, and merged into her body.

Following that, several spirit rings emerged.

Bibi Dong had never found a suitable configuration for the eighth spirit ring of her second martial soul, so she had not hunted for one yet.

Yet now, an eighth spirit ring had appeared out of thin air, and it was a blood-red 100,000-year spirit ring at that.

"Congratulations, Your Holiness."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo bowed their heads in congratulation, and the scene erupted in shouts of long live.

Bibi Dong, however, wore a solemn expression, for anyone capable of bestowing a 100,000-year spirit ring upon her so casually was definitely a god, or perhaps even someone who had surpassed the gods.

If someone could be called a protagonist by the Live Broadcast Room, then just how powerful must Tang San be, and would he affect the plans of their Martial Soul Hall in the future?

On the other side, Qian Renxue's thoughts were the same as Bibi Dong's; she used the same method and answered the Live Broadcast Room.

[Congratulations, obtained the External Soul Bone Six-Winged Angel Wings, which can evolve into the Super Divine Artifact Eighteen-Winged Angel Wings.]

A ray of light appeared behind Qian Renxue, though it did not manifest physically.

However, Qian Renxue's Soul Power had indeed surged by four levels, and she could clearly feel the presence of the External Soul Bone.

If not for the fact that she was currently at a competition venue, she would have loved to test the might of the Power of the Six-Winged Angel.

Is this an External Soul Bone?

Feeling the power of the External Soul Bone, Qian Renxue sighed inwardly. This Live Broadcast Room was too mysterious to be able to provide an External Soul Bone directly.

Most importantly, it could even cause her Soul Power to skyrocket.

If it can evolve into a Super Divine Artifact...

Qian Renxue held high expectations for this. As the successor to the Angel God, she naturally understood that above a First-Class God were God Kings, and only God Kings were worthy of possessing Super Divine Artifacts.

She dared not even imagine how powerful a Super Divine Artifact could be.
