"Damn it! Who is that Dou Di? One day, I'll kill him."
Tang Hao ground his teeth in anger, wishing he could pull out the Clear Sky Hammer and bring it down on Ye Tianyun.
Everyone got a share of the ten-billion subsidy—everyone except him.
Now almost everyone had the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. Did Tang San still have any advantage?
He naturally had a little advantage, since Tang San's talent had been recognized by the previous Tang Sect.
But when it came to resources, Tang San had no advantage at all. Once the various powers learned what the Immortal Herbs were for, they would definitely spend a fortune to buy them.
How could a poor little thing like Tang San afford them?
"No, I can't let Tang San get the herbs cheap. I'll pack them up later—no, I'll go now."
Dugu Bo muttered to himself and turned to leave.
He had to pack up all the Immortal Herbs before Tang San's competition ended and before Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao returned.
He'd pack up the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, leaving not a single medicinal plant behind. He'd even dig three feet into the ground.
[Unfortunately, not a single person answered the question about Ye Tianyun's Innate Soul Power correctly. Every answer was wrong.]
Everyone heard what the Live Broadcast Room said but didn't care in the slightest. They'd deliberately answered incorrectly for the ten-billion subsidy reward.
But they were also curious about his Innate Soul Power. Since he could crush God King Tang San, it surely couldn't be too low.
[Then I'll tell everyone: Ye Tianyun's Martial Soul is a Banner, and his Innate Soul Power is 0.1—only a little higher than having no Soul Power at all.]
Silence. Complete silence.
Everyone present was stunned. They'd never imagined that Ye Tianyun's Innate Soul Power was only 0.1.
There wasn't a single Spirit Master whose Innate Soul Power was lower than Ye Tianyun's.
Yu Xiaogang instantly puffed up, straightened his back, and held his head high.
"So it's only 0.1 Soul Power. I thought he was something special."
He'd genuinely thought Ye Tianyun's Innate Soul Power was decent. It was still lower than his own half-level.
Nearby, a Spirit Master who'd won the Dou Di ten-billion subsidy contest heard Yu Xiaogang's words and immediately took offense.
He publicly mocked Yu Xiaogang:
"Then tell me, what level is your Innate Soul Power? You talk like you're so great."
"Higher than his."
Yu Xiaogang didn't back down. He shot back at the Spirit Master, but didn't reveal his own Innate Soul Power, since that would be embarrassing.
Having only half a level was pretty embarrassing.
The Spirit Master laughed. If Yu Xiaogang didn't dare to reveal his own level, it had to be low. He asked with a grin,
"Oh? Then what level is your Soul Power now? It must be pretty high, right?"
That question left Yu Xiaogang stumped.
He'd once had level twenty-nine Soul Power, but after answering incorrectly, it had dropped to the twenties. He might not even reach the Soul Elder rank in his lifetime.
But that was in the past. Now that he had the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, perhaps he could break through to level thirty one day.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang didn't answer, the Spirit Master grew even more smug:
"Looks like you're not very strong. Look at Dou Di—he crushed a God King. His future is a lot brighter than yours."
"..."
Yu Xiaogang was instantly silenced.
Because Ye Tianyun's future really was beyond his reach. Even Tang San, whom he was so proud of, couldn't compare to Ye Tianyun, despite becoming a God King.
"Hahaha..."
The Spirit Master laughed triumphantly.
"Hey, what are you laughing at? Looking for a fight?"
How could Liu Erlong's fiery temper tolerate someone bullying her Yu Xiaogang?
She flew into a rage and was about to hit him on the spot.
"Afraid of you? We're all Soul Saints—four brothers, every one of us."
Three more brothers immediately stepped forward from around the Spirit Master. Including him, there were four of them in total.
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed again.
Four Soul Saints. They weren't people to mess with.
Parallel Universe, Parallel Timeline.
Ning Rongrong looked up at Ye Tianyun, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor, is your Innate Soul Power really that low?"
All the native gods of Douluo Continent looked astonished.
He'd had only 0.1 Innate Soul Power, yet now he was a Dou Di, standing above them all. Was this what a genius looked like?
No. Being a genius was only the threshold for entering Ye Tianyun's door.
Beside her, Asura God scolded Ning Rongrong:
"What kind of thing is that to say? So what if his Innate Soul Power was low? Innate Soul Power can't hold back a truly exceptional person."
Ning Rongrong: "..."
Was Asura God really trying to be a bootlicker? He jumped to Ye Tianyun's defense at the drop of a hat.
[The following scene will now be played.]
The screen split into two parts.
On the left was the Main Timeline, showing Tang San awakening his Martial Soul. On the right was the Parallel Timeline, showing Ye Tianyun awakening his Martial Soul.
[On the same day in Douluo Continent, two people awakened their Martial Souls at the same time.] [Tang San's Martial Souls were Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, and he had full Innate Soul Power. Ye Tianyun's Martial Soul was a Banner, and his Innate Soul Power was 0.1—the lowest ever recorded.]
"Blue Silver Grass? The Clear Sky Hammer? Could he be Tang Hao's son?"
A thick killing intent poured from Bibi Dong.
This was an enemy of Spirit Hall. If Tang San was the protagonist, didn't that mean Spirit Hall had gained a sworn enemy?
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both felt Bibi Dong's killing intent and shivered.
They knew all too well that if Tang San was the protagonist of Douluo Continent, then they were all his enemies. How could Tang San possibly spare them in the future?
Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao had also guessed Tang San's identity, and he was overjoyed.
"Everyone, Tang San is Junior Brother Hao's son. With Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, he's the protagonist of Douluo Continent."
"By the way, who was it that said if Junior Brother Hao's son turned out to be the protagonist, he'd wash his hair while standing on his head, use the toilet upside down, spin a hundred and eighty degrees, and turn around twenty times?"
Tang Xiao was finally able to hold his head high.
The elders usually relied on their age and seniority to look down on him, and they hadn't even agreed to let Tang Hao return.
Now they were stunned, weren't they?
Tang San was the protagonist of Douluo Continent.
They weren't the only ones who'd figured it out. Many people across Douluo Continent had come to the same conclusion.
"The Clear Sky Hammer, and the surname Tang? Could he be from the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Possibly. The Clear Sky Sect is the greatest sect under heaven. It's only natural that they'd have a protagonist."
Qian Renxue's brows knitted slightly. The Clear Sky Sect had a protagonist named Tang San—so how was Spirit Hall supposed to accomplish its grand plan?
Ning Fengzhi, who was watching the competition, smiled and instructed someone,
"Go and build good relations with the Clear Sky Sect."
He was clever. Although having the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record had narrowed the gap between him and Tang San, Tang San was still the protagonist of Douluo Continent.
The Son of Heaven's Mandate, blessed with good fortune.
Douluo Continent had plenty of stories, after all. How many protagonists were easy to bring down?
"Fengzhi is right. Besides, Rongrong joined Shrek Academy, so she can become friends with him."
Sword Douluo suddenly found Shrek Academy very agreeable. Everyone there was talented, and they all spoke so pleasantly.
Perhaps the Live Broadcast Room had guessed what everyone was thinking. It continued the broadcast without the slightest courtesy.
[It's worth noting that in another Parallel Timeline, Tang San is also the protagonist of Douluo Continent. The two are the same age, but as they compete step by step, Tang San gradually loses to Ye Tianyun, and Ye Tianyun ultimately takes his place as the protagonist.]
