On the competition grounds, the match was temporarily halted due to the arrival of the Live Broadcast Room, leaving Tang San standing alone in the arena.

At this moment, the information had not yet reached him. Tang San did not know how to choose and was pondering whether it should be Dou Di or God King Tang San.

He instinctively wanted to choose God King Tang San, because he himself was also named Tang San.

After thinking for a moment, Tang San felt it was necessary to take a gamble—to bet big and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle—so he answered with full confidence:

"I choose Tang San."

[Congratulations, you answered incorrectly. Penalty: Deprivation of the External Soul Bone, Eight Spider Lances.]

[Additionally, as you are the fifth person to answer incorrectly and also the last, subsequent participants will not be penalized.]

"No..."

Tang San could feel that his connection to the soul bone had been severed, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

His expression was as sorrowful as it could possibly be; that was an External Soul Bone, a rare type among soul bones, worth a fortune.

What was even more devastating was the Live Broadcast Room's statement. He was the last one to answer incorrectly, and those who followed him would face no penalty—it was a blatant slap in the face.

The grieving Tang San and Yu Xiaogang outside the arena echoed one another; both master and disciple were in a miserable state.

"San."

"Third Brother."

His brothers nearby did not know how to console Tang San.

They did not know what the penalty was, but it was clearly horrific. Not to mention Tang Hao outside the arena, who gripped his trousers tightly, his heart constricted with worry.

"Xiaogang, are you alright?"

Liu Erlong was deeply concerned for Yu Xiaogang, completely ignoring Tang San on the competition field.

Yu Xiaogang quickly regained his composure. Although he had been penalized, he could still obtain rewards.

Whether it was Liu Erlong or Flender, as long as they obtained rewards, they could help him in the future. What if they received a Martial Soul Evolution? Or a soul bone?

"The two of you, hurry and make your choice. I am fine; we absolutely cannot miss out on the rewards."

Yu Xiaogang felt a pang of heartache as he said this.

Liu Erlong and Flender both reacted, nearly forgetting such an important matter, and rushed to answer the Live Broadcast Room.

They absolutely could not miss out on the rewards.

"I choose Dou Di."

"Dou Di is the most powerful."

The two made their choices together. Around them, many spectators were keeping a close eye on the trio, including the teachers from Shrek Academy.

They all began to give their answers.

"We all choose Dou Di."

[Answer correct. Unfortunately, others have already answered. Now distributing consolation prizes: Ye Tianyun's Autographed Photo.]

The next moment, everyone who had answered correctly but was a few steps slower than the others found a photograph in their hands.

It was a handsome photo of Ye Tianyun with his autograph at the bottom, a collector's item of immense value.

Yu Xiaogang: "..."

He was a step too late, and they were giving out this photo.

"Damn it, what use is an autographed photo? It's completely useless, it's infuriating!"

Yu Xiaogang cursed in a fit of rage.

He wanted this autographed photo; it could in no way compensate for the loss of his Martial Soul.

Even Liu Erlong couldn't help but frown, but upon seeing the handsome photo of Ye Tianyun, she nodded subconsciously:

"I have to say, the person in this photo is truly handsome."

"..."

Yu Xiaogang was left speechless; Liu Erlong was striking another blow to his ego.

A group of people nearby held Ye Tianyun's handsome autographed photo, feeling somewhat speechless themselves.

The photo was of no use at all.

Zhu Zhuqing also held the photo. Ye Tianyun, the protagonist of another world, crushed Tang San in terms of looks, and his demeanor was naturally imposing without even needing to be angry.

How could Tang San even compare?

The Live Broadcast Room spoke up once again.

[Congratulations, the following viewers have received rewards: Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue...]

[Additionally, the following viewers answered incorrectly and have received penalties: Tang San, Yu Xiaogang...]

"Tang San? Tang San also answered incorrectly? Who exactly is this Tang San?"

"You don't know? That person down there from Shrek Academy, is he that Tang San? The protagonist of Douluo?"

"Uncertain, but there's a high probability he's the protagonist. After all, anyone capable of standing on this stage is no ordinary person."

The crowd discussed it heatedly, their gazes converging on Tang San.

Qian Renxue also stared fixedly at Tang San.

So he is Tang San? He looks too ordinary; how could he possibly compare to Ye Tianyun?

Although Tang San belonged to her own universe, when compared to the photos of Ye Tianyun, the gap between them was not even on the same level.

[Next, a comprehensive comparison between the two Douluo Continents will be conducted, focusing on their protagonists. This will cover all aspects of the protagonists, including their talent, growth, and future achievements.]

[Whichever side wins the final comparison will receive more destiny, and their universe will be more likely to produce geniuses.]

Yu Xiaogang was a clever man and saw the problem at a glance, his expression worried as he said:

"If Little San loses this comparison, he will surely be resented by the people of our universe."

"Indeed, such is human nature. If he brings them benefits, they will praise Little San, but if he ultimately loses, they will absolutely resent him."

Flender also understood human nature well.

Parallel universe.

After watching the broadcast, the Asura God immediately made his stance clear:

"Does this even need to be compared? Our Heavenly Emperor crushes Tang San in every aspect; Tang San is simply no match for him."

The God of Destruction despised such blatant bootlicking; he had never seen a god so thick-skinned and shameless.

Nearby, Zhou Weiqing, the protagonist of the neighboring world, heard the name Tang San and muttered to himself:

"I always feel like I've heard of this Tang San somewhere before, but I can't quite place it."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to remind Zhou Weiqing:

"You've forgotten? Our world also had a Tang San, from the Douluo Continent of the past, a member of Shrek Academy and the dual inheritor of the Sea God and Asura God. He was slapped to death by our Heavenly Emperor during the Battle of Jialing Pass."

With that reminder, Zhou Weiqing recalled it; he had indeed heard the gods of the God Realm mention it.

The only dual-god of the Douluo Continent.

Zhou Weiqing looked toward the Asura God, and then at the Sea God in the crowd.

Why were these two gods still here?

The Asura God scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and immediately looked toward Ye Tianyun, saying loyally:

"Heavenly Emperor, I truly never expected that Little Trash Tang San would hide so deeply, daring to challenge you."

What he hadn't expected even more was Ye Tianyun's strength; Tang San, as the dual god of Asura and the Sea, had been slapped to death by Ye Tianyun with a single strike.

Afterward, Ye Tianyun had stormed the God Realm, beating the five God Kings one by one, hanging them up to take turns whipping them, and knocking down eighteen First-Class Gods in three seconds.

Fortunately, he had knelt early, otherwise he would have ended up like Tang San—his soul extracted and cast into Ye Tianyun's Human Emperor Banner.

Behind him, seeing the Asura God submit, the Sea God also scrambled to step forward, kneeling to beg for mercy:

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, it is all my fault for being blind. I only chose successors based on high talent rather than moral character, leading him to become an enemy of the Heavenly Emperor. It is truly a capital offense."

Ye Tianyun, however, did not care in the slightest and gently waved his hand.

A powerful surge of battle qi lifted the Sea God up.

"Enough. Tang San's affairs have nothing to do with you all. You are all meritorious officials of the Heavenly Court; why would I discard you like a worn-out tool?"

The main reason was that Ye Tianyun had never worried about these people betraying him; his absolute strength was the guarantee.
