Spirits of Heaven and Earth, God of Theory, Show Yourself
"Treasure?"
Upon seeing the gleaming golden ring, Yu Xiaogang couldn't even maintain his composure as Grandmaster.
He quickly took two steps, snatched the ring, and examined it carefully in his hand.
"Magical Artifact, this is at least a Magical Artifact!"
Yu Xiaogang trembled with excitement. He had witnessed the power of the Nine-Colored Gauze. It was just a Magical Artifact, belonging to the lowest tier among weapons in the Primordial World, yet its power was heaven-defying.
This ring looks extraordinary; isn't it even stronger than the Nine-Colored Gauze?
"This item rightfully belongs to my Grandmaster."
Yu Xiaogang took the ring and put it on his wrist.
"Ahem, Xiao Xiaogang, didn't Little San just say that this was given to him by the Great God?"
Flender offered a reminder: it wasn't that he didn't want Yu Xiaogang to wear it, but the key issue was what would happen if that Great God blamed him?
Before Yu Xiaogang could speak, Tang San spoke up.
"Dean, since the Great God gave it to me, then it is mine. Now I will give it to my teacher; my teacher is more suited to this treasure than I am."
"The Little San is right."
Yu Xiaogang laughed when he heard Tang San say that.
"Only with my profound theoretical foundation can I make the most of this treasure."
Yu Xiaogang didn't even look up as he spoke, his entire attention focused on the ring.
"But it doesn't feel quite right. Is this some kind of treasure not meant to be used?"
Yu Xiaogang discovered that the treasure did not match his finger.
"Teacher, this treasure isn't actually worn on your hand, it's worn on..."
Tang San glanced at Yu Xiaogang's tail.
Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red instantly. Being turned into a pig was the last thing he wanted to talk about, but if there was treasure involved...
"Wow, I never expected it to be a treasure specially made for me!"
Of the three, only he had a tail, so it must have been given to him by the Great God through Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang directly slipped the ring into the tail.
The ring immediately seemed to come alive, fitting perfectly at the base of the tail. The pink tail paired with the golden ring looked completely out of place.
What is the purpose of this treasure?
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San.
Tang San, who had just been all smiles, now had his eyes lowered and was grinning foolishly.
"The Little San?"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized something was wrong.
Tang San performed a backflip to create distance between himself and Yu Xiaogang, and said sternly, "Yu Xiaogang, I am the Western Paradise Fortuitous Encounter Sacred Physique; only I am the core force that guides the acquisition of opportunities."
"The Great God instructed that you would be my eldest disciple, but because you are disrespectful to your elders and arrogant, the Great God has bestowed this treasure upon you for my use!"
After Tang San finished speaking, before Yu Xiaogang could react, he put his hands together and began to chant a spell in a low voice.
"Mommy, Mommy, please comfort me~"
"There are countless theories, but the disciples' heads spin. The moment the Grandmaster opens his mouth, the whole audience is doomed. Soul Ring pairing, Martial Soul transformation—recite it again, and your head will explode!"
Tang San spoke extremely quickly.
"Ooh ho ho ho~~"
Yu Xiaogang felt a strange force travel from his tail along his spine to his head, and immediately started rolling around on the pile of rubble, clutching his head.
"Xiaogang!"
Upon seeing this, Flender rushed over to check on Yu Xiaogang's condition.
"It's going to explode! My head is about to explode!"
Yu Xiaogang's face was contorted in a ferocious expression, his eyes bulging out.
"Quickly take that ring off!"
Flender grabbed Yu Xiaogang's tail, but found that no matter how much force he used, he couldn't remove the ring. In fact, because he pulled hard on the tail, Yu Xiaogang felt pain in both his head and tail.
Flender could only glare angrily at Tang San.
"What are you doing, Little San? Stop right now!"
Tang San not only didn't stop, but instead changed his incantation.
"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, God of Theory, please show your power!"
"You keep going, I keep going, I'll make sure your head explodes with thunder!"
Yu Xiaogang clutched his head and rammed it against the large rock.
Tang San finally stopped chanting the incantation only after his head was bleeding profusely from the impact.
Yu Xiaogang slumped to the ground, his eyes lifeless, his face pale, trembling as he pointed at Tang San, unable to utter a word.
"Little San, how could you lie to Xiaogang like this?"
"Why aren't you taking that ring off right now?"
Flender scolded Tang San.
"Take it off? Didn't he snatch it from me?"
Tang San silenced Flender with a single sentence, but Tang San didn't intend to let Flender off so easily.
"I originally wanted to get along with you all, but you forced me into this situation!"
"I went mad the moment Xiao Wu was taken away."
"Flender, I haven't settled accounts with you yet. This is between me and this piece of trash. Get out of here."
As he spoke, Tang San then began to chant scriptures.
"If you don't get out of here within three breaths, I'll make this piece of trash suffer to death right here."
"You..."
Just as Flender was about to say something, Tang San, without saying a word, began chanting the incantation again.
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go, just stop now."
Flender dared not waste any more time and ran off, not forgetting to call Liu Erlong along with him.
Seeing that Flender was willing to leave Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong thought it was a good thing, no matter what the reason was, so she followed Flender and left Five Finger Mountain.
"Snort."
Tang San noticed that Flender was heading west, which meant they would meet again.
But it didn't matter. He knew Flender was also part of the team, and it wasn't time to deal with Flender yet.
"Useless? How does the Golden Headband Tightening Spell feel?"
Tang San touched Yu Xiaogang's face with his foot.
"Little San, the teacher knows she was wrong."
Yu Xiaogang mustered the last of his strength to force a smile.
"Um?"
Tang San frowned. "What should you call me?"
"Master, I should call you Master."
Yu Xiaogang, with a sudden burst of strength, flipped over like a domestic pig and knelt on the ground.
"Master, there were many people outside just now, and I was concerned about saving face. Now I know I was wrong, so please, Master, stop using your supernatural powers."
Yu Xiaogang knew that his image in the eyes of the people of the Douluo Continent was ruined; everything had definitely been Livestream live.
But he really didn't want to experience the power of that Golden Headband Tightening Spell again.
This is someone even the Great Sage Equal to Heaven could handle! How could Yu Xiaogang possibly resist?
Hahahaha!
Tang San burst into laughter.
"You piece of trash, you think you can take it off? Let me tell you, you can wear it until you've completed your Merit."
"You'd better behave yourself from now on, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Tang San grew increasingly annoyed with Yu Xiaogang; this good-for-nothing had even bullied Xiao Wu.
He immediately chanted the incantation again, and Yu Xiaogang writhed in pain once more.
Although the ring was worn on his tail, it actually affected Yu Xiaogang's head.
When Tang San stopped chanting the incantation, Yu Xiaogang's forehead was noticeably concave, making his head appear pointed.
"This look suits you better."
Tang San pinched Yu Xiaogang's pointed head.
"Get out of here and go find something to eat."
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away."
Yu Xiaogang scrambled to his feet, remembering that there were fish in the river nearby.
"Tang San has gone mad."
Qian Renxue and Red Boy, who had burrowed underground, witnessed everything.
"What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it? In any case, this madman is serious about love."
Red Boy glanced at the sentimental Qian Renxue.
"Will the Mountain God help him?"
"That won't do."
Qian Renxue shook her head without even thinking.
Red Boy pouted. He had learned something: all of you adults are more ruthless than the last. This made him feel like he had wasted the last three hundred years of his life.
Just then, Qian Renxue suddenly felt something on her body, something she couldn't quite put her finger on.
It has been marked.
"You participated in Tang San's first tribulation, which means you're connected to the Tribulation. Once they've completed their Merit, Heaven and Earth will distribute rewards according to the markers."
The Douluo Star Will answered Qian Renxue's question.
"There are benefits to all of this, right?"
"So you think that, besides Tang San being an imposter, the mounts of the Heavenly Court Great God have all descended to the mortal realm, along with Tang Sanzang and the Great Sage?"
"Mountain God, it seems people from Heavenly Court have arrived."
Qian Renxue quickly appeared with Red Boy.
Now that Five Finger Mountain no longer exists, Qian Renxue will need to be reassigned to a new position.
The newcomer rode on auspicious clouds, dressed in the robes of a civil official.
"Qian Renxue, the Mountain God of Five Finger Mountain, pays his respects to the superior."
Qian Renxue and Red Boy bowed.
"I am the Edict Officer of the Divine Lord’s Office in the Southern Jambudvipa, and I, Qian Renxue, the Mountain God of Five Finger Mountain, obey my command!"
The Edict Messenger's gaze swept over Qian Renxue and Red Boy beside her, and he took out a warrant.
"Originally from Qingshui Village in Eastern Continent of Superior Body, he was recommended by the City God of Jianyang City for his meritorious service in exorcising evil spirits. After being reported to the Divine Lord’s Office for review, he was appointed as the Earth God of Flower-Fruit Mountain. During his tenure, he performed his duties diligently and was personally selected by the Great Heavenly Venerable to be transferred to the position of Mountain God of Five Finger Mountain, in charge of suppressing the Demon Monkey..."
