Bo Saixi: Whoever Reaches Level 100 First, I'll Love! Tang Chen: It's a Deal—Wait for My Return as a God!

"Tang Chen really did possess talent rarely seen in the past ten thousand years.

"He created the Grand Sumeru Hammer and Ring Detonation himself, and could even forcibly shake the rules of the God Realm to some extent."

Lan Yu watched the youth wielding a black iron hammer on the Ranking Screen. A trace of approval flashed through his eyes before turning cold.

"Unfortunately, Rakshasa God and Asura God treated him as a pawn in their game.

"Even after twenty thousand years, those people in the God Realm still loved to toy with human hearts."

Indeed, if Rakshasa God had not interfered, Tang Chen would have successfully completed Asura's Nine Trials and inherited Asura God's godhood.

But given Asura God's abilities, if he had truly valued Tang Chen's aptitude—

Even if Tang Chen had suffered cultivation deviation and been parasitized and possessed by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, Asura God could have easily rescued him from his plight and let him inherit the godhood.

It could only be called fate.

Jia Lin put away her smile and said seriously,

"Master, the Ranking Screen is currently awakening Tang Chen's consciousness.

"Although the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King is an evil entity, under Slaughter City's rules, Tang Chen will likely suffer greatly before he can fully reclaim his body."

"That will depend on whether his will can live up to his title of 'Invincible on Land.'"

Lan Yu spoke blandly, his gaze returning to the Ranking Screen.

The image on the Ranking Screen shifted rapidly before finally settling on the golden beach of Sea God Island.

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen stood side by side, facing the sea breeze and watching the blue figure slowly descend from Sea God Temple.

"Qian Daoliu of Wuhun Hall has come to pay a visit."

"Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect has come to seek your guidance!"

Bo Saixi held the Sea God Scepter. Her blue hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her peerless face bore a coldness that kept others at a distance.

"Powerhouses from the mainland, Sea God Island does not welcome you.

"If you wish to fight, I will oblige."

Yet the anticipated battle to the death never took place.

The three sparred for several days in succession, each stopping at the right point.

On this isolated island, the three powerhouses standing at the peak of Soul Masters instead developed a mutual understanding and appreciation born of the loneliness of standing too high.

After sparring each day, they sat by the sea, drinking and talking freely.

Qian Daoliu looked at Bo Saixi, his gaze filled with amazement and restrained affection.

"Miss Bo Saixi, your method of borrowing the sea's power truly leaves this old man in awe.

"On land, I could still fight you to a draw, but at sea, I willingly concede defeat."

Tang Chen, meanwhile, took a fierce gulp of wine and burst into laughter, his voice shaking the heavens.

"Qian Daoliu, you're far too bound by rules!

"Bo Saixi, you truly are formidable, but I, Tang Chen, refuse to admit defeat.

"One day, my hammer will smash even this sea apart!"

As Bo Saixi watched Tang Chen's wild and uninhibited demeanor, a gleam appeared in her beautiful eyes that even she herself failed to notice.

Bo Saixi asked softly,

"Tang Chen, I heard you were neither born into a godly family nor inherited any divine legacy. How did you reach this point?"

Tang Chen raised his chin proudly.

"I, Tang Chen, do not believe in gods. I only believe in the hammer in my hand!

"My title was hammered out one strike at a time, and my path was forged one step at a time!"

Qian Daoliu, seated to the side, saw this and his gaze dimmed slightly as he let out a silent sigh.

He could tell that the way Bo Saixi looked at Tang Chen was completely different from how she looked at him.

Sunset Forest, Icefire Yin-Yang Eye.

Watching the scene on the Ranking Screen, Lan Yu could not help shaking his head with a smile.

"Bo Saixi is ultimately a proud woman.

"Like Qian Daoliu, she is a spokesperson for a god. To put it bluntly, they are servants.

"Their limits were fixed by the gods from the moment they were born. In this life, they can only be level 99 Demigods, forever unable to take that final step."

Jia Lin peeled a spirit fruit beside him and chimed in with a smile.

"That is why she fell for a 'mortal' like Tang Chen, someone who relied entirely on himself to break through his limits and even had hope of becoming a god.

"Girls always admire heroes, especially heroes who can shatter the shackles of fate."

"Indeed."

Lan Yu sighed.

"Unfortunately, these two men have truly terrible emotional intelligence."

On the Ranking Screen, the setting sun dyed the beach blood-red.

This was Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen's final day on Sea God Island.

Qian Daoliu finally could no longer suppress his feelings. He slowly walked to Bo Saixi's side, his voice gentle yet trembling slightly.

"Xixi, after this parting, I do not know when we will meet again.

"You should understand my feelings for you.

"I am willing to give up my position as Wuhun Hall's High Priest and remain on Sea God Island at your side."

Hearing this, Tang Chen immediately panicked. With a flash, he stepped between them and shouted gruffly,

"Qian Daoliu, cut it out with your flowery nonsense!

"Bo Saixi, I feel the same!

"I, Old Tang, have never had feelings for any woman in my life, but I like you a great deal!

"Come back to the Clear Sky Sect with me. You can be the sect leader's wife!"

Looking at the two strongest men of their era before her, Bo Saixi felt helpless, yet also somewhat sweet inside.

She looked at Tang Chen. The tenderness in her eyes flashed away and was replaced by determination.

To spare Qian Daoliu's pride, and to give Tang Chen motivation, Bo Saixi sighed softly and slowly said,

"I am the Sea God High Priestess and have dedicated my life to the god.

"The man I love must be an unrivaled powerhouse capable of entering the Divine Realm and wielding divine authority.

"Whichever of you first breaks through level 100 and becomes a god, that is the one I will love."

Qian Daoliu's body trembled violently at those words, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

An exceedingly bitter smile tugged at his lips as he silently took two steps back.

"A god... becoming a god..."

Qian Daoliu laughed bitterly at himself in his heart.

He was Angel God's High Priest. His destiny was to sacrifice his life when the next Angel God heir began the Nine Trials.

He was destined never to become a god in this life!

"Bo Saixi, this condition of yours may seem fair, but the moment you said it, you had already completely eliminated me."

Qian Daoliu felt desolate, but ultimately said nothing. He merely buried this love deep within his heart forever.

Tang Chen, however, had no idea of a High Priest's fate.

Upon hearing Bo Saixi's words, this simple-minded brute's eyes lit up. He slapped his thigh and roared with laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha!

"Good!

"It's a deal!"

Tang Chen fiercely smashed the Clear Sky Hammer into the sand and pointed at the heavens as he shouted,

"Isn't it just becoming a god?

"Bo Saixi, wait for me!

"I'll return to Douluo Continent at once and search for the path to godhood!

"I will not return until I become a god!"

Before his words had even faded, Tang Chen did not look back. He turned into a black streak of light and raced excitedly toward the mainland.

On the beach, only Bo Saixi remained, stunned and not even having had time to explain, along with the bitter-faced Qian Daoliu.

"Pfft—!"

In Sunset Forest, Lan Yu directly sprayed out a mouthful of spirit fruit.
