[First-Generation Sea God Tang San and Xiao Wu failed to concede the comparison. One item was randomly taken from each of them!] [Tang San's future Immortal Herb, the Autumn Dew-Viewing Herb; Xiao Wu's future Buddha's Fury Lotus!]
When the gravely wounded, dying Tang San saw the Immortal Herb and the Tang Sect's most powerful Hidden Weapon, Buddha's Fury Lotus, in Huo Yuhao's hands, his face turned pale. A dreadful premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
"It's over. Damn it... how is this possible?"
Whoosh!
Huo Yuhao's icy gaze snapped toward Tang San.
Tang San had conceded, ending the comparison. Once again, Huo Yuhao had lost his chance to kill him.
"I can't give Tang San any chance. What if he returns to the Douluo I Era, takes Immortal Herbs one after another, and receives help from two gods who pass their power to him without a care for reason?"
At the first opportunity, Huo Yuhao had to use any means necessary and kill Tang San before anything else!
"I can only hope the next comparison comes soon."
"Otherwise, I'll have to coax Spirit Hall into disrupting Tang San's growth while I wait for another comparison."
[Comparison adjusted: Third-Generation Dragon-God-Form Tang Wulin versus First-Generation Sea God Tang San and Xiao Wu!] [Comparison participants: First Generation, Third Generation!] [First-Generation Sea God Tang San] [First-Generation (Soul) Xiao Wu] [Soul Power: Level 32 Soul Elder] [Soul Power: Level 31 Soul Elder] [Soul Bones: Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, external Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances] [Versus Third Generation] [Third-Generation Dragon-God-Form Tang Wulin.] [Soul Power: Peak Level 29] [Soul Rings: Purple, purple]
[The Third-Generation Shrek Seven Devils may choose to join Dragon-God-Form Tang Wulin in battle!]
Douluo III Era
Shrek Academy
Xie Xie looked at the others beside him. They exchanged bewildered glances.
"Did... did any of you receive a prompt from the Heavenly Screen?"
"Hurry and help the boss! He's strong, but it's two against one, and they're members of the First-Generation Shrek Seven Devils!"
The others shook their heads anxiously.
"N-no. None of us got a prompt saying we could enter the Heavenly Screen comparison. No Golden Light from the Heavenly Screen has fallen on Shrek Academy, either."
[Heavenly Screen Betting is open. Bets may be placed on comparison participants.]
Huo Yuhao looked thoughtfully at Tang Wulin, who stood not far away, facing the gravely wounded Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"This time, Tang Wulin isn't being compared with me first."
"That works too. I want to see just how far Tang Wulin's strength has grown with the Dragon God's Power."
Huo Yuhao had been about to bet everything on Tang Wulin, but the odds for his bet stopped him short.
[Odds for Tang Wulin's victory (betting restriction: only one item may undergo transformation).] [Odds for Tang San's victory: One to one.]
Huo Yuhao looked up at the Heavenly Screen.
"This Heavenly Screen is sharp. Does it know that I know how strong Tang Wulin is?"
"And that's not all. Electrolux, Tian Meng, and the Ice Empress can't place bets either."
His gaze fell on the comments scrolling across the Heavenly Screen.
[Douluo I Era comments] ["We're rich! We're rich! The odds for Tang San's victory are one to three!"] [Douluo II Era comments] ["Tang San and Tang Wulin both have one-to-one odds, but there's no need to think about it. We have to support Lord Sea God!"] ["Tang Wulin has two Thousand-Year Soul Rings too, but he's only a bit stronger physically. Now that Sea God Tang San has two Soul Bones, including a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, the gap in strength has long since closed. He may be badly injured, but he has Tang Sect Hidden Weapons and his wife Xiao Wu beside him. Everyone knows how this will end!"] [Douluo III Era comments] ["Both sides have one-to-one odds... this must be the closest comparison yet, right?"]
"Heavenly Screen, place my bet on Tang Wulin. Item wagered: the Autumn Dew-Viewing Herb..."
After careful consideration, Huo Yuhao decisively wagered the Immortal Herb in his hand on Tang Wulin.
Once the Immortal Herb transformed, he could absorb its power. His Spiritual Power would surely undergo a qualitative transformation.
Spiritual Power would help him most.
The Heavenly Screen's betting rules had changed considerably. They no longer applied only to him but to everyone, and the odds varied between eras, evidently depending on each person's understanding. Huo Yuhao knew exactly how Tang San and Tang Wulin measured up, which was why his odds were absurdly low.
[Bets are locked... Heavenly Screen Betting has ended. Comparison... **begin!!!**]
Inside the Comparison Space, the Heavenly Screen Arena appeared again.
Tang Wulin instantly went on full alert.
Two purple Soul Rings rose from his body.
"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"
Whoosh!
Tang Wulin easily bound Xiao Wu, while the gravely wounded Tang San escaped using Ghost Concealment Trail.
"Xiao Wu, use Charm on him!"
The second Yellow Soul Ring around Xiao Wu lit up.
"Second Soul Skill, Charm!"
Hum!
Tang Wulin froze. The sight of Xiao Wu's pink eyes left him dazed for a moment.
By the time Tang Wulin recovered, Tang San had already brought out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow again.
Whizz, whizz, whizz!
A dense hail of bolts shot toward Tang Wulin. They pierced and shattered his Blue Silver Grass in an instant, then flew straight at his face.
"Tang Wulin is finished. I absolutely won't lose on both sides of this comparison!"
Faced with the barrage of Hidden Weapons, Tang Wulin's blood surged. Golden dragon scales appeared across his body, and two dazzling Golden Soul Rings flared.
"Golden Dragon Tyrant Body!!!"
Clang, clang, clang!
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply.
"Two Golden Soul Rings!"
"Impossible! Isn't his Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass?"
"He took my Tang Sect Hidden Weapons head-on?"
Xiao Wu's face drained of color.
"Oh no! Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power struck back at my Spiritual Power. I can't hold on!"
Tang San's expression changed.
"Xiao Wu!"
"Damn it! Soul Bone Skill, Flight!"
Seeing that Xiao Wu was about to fall into Tang Wulin's hands, Tang San could no longer stand by. He activated the Soul Skill of his Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and flew swiftly toward Tang Wulin.
"Second Martial Soul, Eight Spider Lances!!!"
Tension showed on Tang Wulin's face as he unleashed all his strength.
"Golden Dragon Body!"
Whoosh!
Tang Wulin's right hand transformed into a Golden Dragon Claw. Without the slightest hesitation, he reached for Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer.
Hum—boom!
The instant they collided, immense force tore through Tang San's right arm. Skin and flesh sprayed outward, leaving only stark white bone.
"Aaargh!"
Tang San's agonized scream rang out. The next instant, his Eight Spider Lances appeared to block the Golden Dragon Claw.
Crack!
The moment the Eight Spider Lances touched the Golden Dragon Claw, every one of them shattered.
"Blargh!"
Tang San spat a mouthful of blood. Then he stared in terror as the Golden Dragon Claw closed in on him.
"Oh no! Senior Tang San, I used too much strength! I didn't think you were this fragile—you broke the moment I touched you! Dodge, quick!"
Just as the Golden Dragon Claw was about to touch Tang San, dazzling blue divine light burst from within Tang Wulin.
"Original body, you can't fall here yet... let me help you!"
Tang San collapsed. As he fell, a blue figure flew into his mind.
"Old Tang, you—"
Tang Wulin found that he could control his own strength again. Old Tang seemed to have vanished.
Huo Yuhao could no longer sit still. He sprang to his feet as he watched the comparison.
"Oh no. Old Tang possessed Tang San? Tang San just got a god-tier upgrade!"
Clarity returned to Tang San's eyes. The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone shone, his wounds healed visibly, and the fragments of his Eight Spider Lances rapidly fused back together.
[Tang Wulin wins the comparison... and receives Nine-Grade Dragon Ganoderma!]
