Lately, Yang Podi has been feeling uneasy, as if something big is about to happen in the Douluo Continent, but he can't quite put his finger on it.
With his current strength, Yang Podi is confident he could defeat even Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, so where did this feeling come from?
The Asura God's test seemed somewhat inexplicable, as if the Asura God wanted him to make a choice that would affect the future development of Douluo Star.
Thinking of this, Yang Podi immediately urged Qian Renxue to return to Spirit City to cultivate and to complete the Angel God's assessment as soon as possible. According to the original work, Qian Renxue only has about a year left to become a god.
Yang Podi has always regarded Tang San as a potential threat. If Tang San hadn't been on Sea God Island, he would have eliminated him long ago. But judging from the current situation, it seems that the entire Douluo Continent world is moving at a faster pace.
Bibi Dong absorbed two more decent Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, so she probably became a god earlier than in the original story, at least earlier than the Battle of Jialing Pass.
Qian Renxue's cultivation progress should be similar to that in the original work, but her mentality and psychological resilience are much stronger than in the original work, and she has also experienced much more. She should not have an incomplete state of mind when she becomes a god like in the original work.
On the outskirts of Mount Aermo, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang finally met again. When Yu Xiaogang, Tai Tan, Bai He learned that Tang San had now reached Level 98 in Soul Power, especially when the Clear Sky Hammer Soul Ring were four red and four black, they were all greatly encouraged. Judging from this situation, there was a glimmer of hope for everyone to take revenge on the Spirit Hall Empire and revitalize the Clear Sky Sect.
However, Tang San is only Level 98 now, so he probably still has a hard time fighting against a Level 99 Limit Douluo. Moreover, once Tang San is exposed, he will probably face attacks from many people.
After some discussion, Yu Xiaogang suggested trying to win over Heavenly Pursuit Academy, at least in the short term, to avoid being enemies with both Heavenly Pursuit Academy and the Spirit Hall Empire at the same time, otherwise it would be truly dangerous.
Upon hearing this suggestion, Tang San was instantly enraged, even to the point of losing control. Black energy emanated from his entire body, making him appear completely abnormal.
Although Yu Xiaogang's strength was average, he had a fairly broad range of knowledge. Looking at Tang San's current state, he seemed to resemble those Fallen Soul Master. Especially when he learned that Tang San was using the Dark Blue Silver Grass to absorb a large amount of Soul Beast life force, he was struck dumb and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
" Xiao San, I should have told you about the fate of those Fallen Soul Master long ago. You must stop absorbing energy immediately, or you will face eternal damnation."
But at this point, Tang San had already absorbed too much energy, and it could be said that he had no way out, "Teacher, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't lose my mind, and I won't become Fallen Soul Master. The whole world is like this now, I need to become stronger, absolutely stronger."
"I will stop at nothing to avenge myself."
Yu Xiaogang said with a worried expression, " Xiao San, your condition is very bad right now. I've taken a close look at you, and I'm afraid your health is very unstable. You might even go insane at any moment."
Tang San always respected Yu Xiaogang very much, treating him like a father. No matter what level of strength he possessed, he never said a harsh word to Yu Xiaogang.
But at this moment, Yu Xiaogang's image in his eyes had completely changed. He was no longer the earnest teacher he once knew, but rather a noisy ant. "Enough! I know my body better than anyone else. With the profound mysteries of my Mysterious Heaven Skill and my powerful talent, the mere energy I absorb will have no effect on me."
Yu Xiaogang stared at Tang San in disbelief. He had some experience, and he couldn't see how Tang San's current situation differed from that of those Fallen Soul Master.
Those Fallen Soul Master are characterized by being irritable, easily angered, extreme, hateful, and bloodthirsty. Tang San seems to have gathered all of these traits. If Yu Xiaogang continues talking, Tang San might lose control at any moment.
Especially given Tang San's current strength, if he loses control, probably no one will be able to control him, and he will truly become Evil Soul Master that everyone hates.
At this moment, Xiao Wu quickly grabbed Tang San: " Third Brother, what's wrong with you? Didn't you used to respect your teacher the most? How can you talk to your teacher like that now?"
When Tang San saw Xiao Wu beside him, a trace of clarity returned to his face. Recalling what had just happened, he felt a little scared. Just now, he had actually felt a strong killing intent towards Yu Xiaogang. If he hadn't been able to control himself, he might have really killed Yu Xiaogang.
"Teacher, what should I do about my current situation? Is there any way to help me fully recover?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "I don't know what to do about your situation either. You stayed in the Slaughter City for a while back then. How did your father help you get rid of your killing intent?"
Tang San quickly recalled the past, "Teacher, I didn't stay in the Slaughter City for very long, so my killing intent wasn't too strong. It was my aunt, Tang Yuehua, who helped me remove it. My aunt has a natural Noble Domain that can calm people's minds."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "This method is too late. As far as I know, Tang Yuehua died in the last battle of the Clear Sky Sect. No one else in the world possesses this kind of domain anymore."
Tang San seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked, "Teacher, I remember that Bibi Dong and Yang Podi also obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain. How did they manage to dispel the Slaughter aura on their bodies?"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh, "After I left Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong went to the Slaughter City. I don't know how she resolved the Slaughter aura. As for Yang Podi, that guy is extremely well hidden. No one knows his cultivation process or progress, but he definitely didn't resolve the killing aura at the Moonlight Pavilion."
After he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. Now everyone could see that Tang San was acting strangely; he was no longer as humble and cheerful as before, but instead filled with hostility.
After a long silence, Yu Xiaogang broke the silence. " Xiao San, I know you hate Yang Podi, but if we really want to fight against the Spirit Hall Empire, we need an absolutely powerful ally. Otherwise, you'll be at a huge disadvantage fighting against Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu at the same time."
"Therefore, you must put aside your hatred for Yang Podi for the time being, and at least wait until the Spirit Hall Empire Destruction before seeking revenge on Yang Podi."
"As far as I know, Flender and the others have already joined Heavenly Pursuit Academy, and the two clan leaders, Tai Tan and Bai He, had a very close relationship with the Heavenly Pursuit Academy in the past. Why don't I go to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy with the two clan leaders, Titan and Bai He Tai Tan, first? Perhaps we can gain something from it."
Yu Xiaogang's meaning was actually very simple: if possible, he wanted to sow discord between the Heavenly Pursuit Academy and the Spirit Hall Empire, and see if he could gather any intelligence. After all, he was familiar with Bibi Dong's personality, and the two sides would probably have to fight sooner or later.
