After an unknown amount of time spent in endless resentment and madness, a sliver of Tang San's sanity finally managed to return. With some difficulty, he focused on the golden words of the divine test appearing in his Spiritual Sea.
Completed? When... did I complete the sixth test?
Tang San looked at the content of his assessment: [Sea God Sixth Test].
[Content: Persevere and survive in an extreme environment]
[Reward: divine force Infusion]
Tang San's consciousness stalled slightly. Extreme environment... persevere... survive?
So... his experience of these past three months, a living hell, had been unknowingly defined as a Divine Trial?
"Ha... haha... hahaha..." A distorted, miserable laugh echoed through Tang San's consciousness. Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?
Because of this experience, his cultivation had indeed been forcibly pulled up like a rocket during that bizarre so-called practice. He had broken through three levels in three months. Moreover, in the midst of this endless ultimate humiliation, he seemed to have honed a sliver of extreme tolerance for pain.
Tang San's gaze became even more crazed and venomous. At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind: revenge!
Strength! Only strength! Only power great enough to tear everything apart could bring revenge! Only then could he repay the humiliation he suffered today tenfold, a hundredfold!
As for who to take revenge on?
First and foremost was that high-and-mighty God Realmmain body who had pushed him into this fire pit!
He would make that main body taste this bone-deep shame as well! No, he would make him experience an even greater ultimate humiliation than his own!
Crazed obsession replaced reason. Tang San no longer hesitated. Concentrating all his remaining will, he roared and chose to claim the reward. At the instant he made his choice, a special connection quietly established itself across the plane barrier.
The God Realm, deep within the Sea God Temple.
God Realm Tang San, who was diligently suppressing the Asura God Position and seeing some results, suddenly frowned slightly. He sensed a fluctuation from the Sea Gods Divine Trial. "Completed the sixth test so quickly? As expected of my Clone!"
God Realm Tang San's brow smoothed out immediately, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He didn't have the slightest suspicion. As the saying goes, he didn't believe anyone could bypass him, the current Sea God, to interfere with the Sea Gods Divine Trial. To him, that was an impossible feat. "A pity, though, the aura of the Douluo Plane still hasn't declined. This proves that Child of Destiny still isn't dead... what is that Clone doing? He hasn't dealt with it yet?"
God Realm Tang San murmured in a low voice but didn't pay it too much mind. With a thought, he immediately began to partition the Asura God Position Origin and started funneling the Origin through the Divine Trial channel to the Lower RealmClone. In the Lower Realm, inside the stone room.
The moment God Realm Tang San began funneling the Origin, Lower Realm Tang San's body jolted violently. His pupils completely lost their luster as his consciousness was temporarily suppressed by a higher level of power.
Simultaneously, a majestic and vast illusory figure dressed in azure robes quietly appeared beside Lower Realm Tang San. It was the Sea God Martial Soul. The Sea God Martial Soul reached out, its fingers hooking something in the Void Realm. In the next instant, the God PositionOrigin funneled from the God Realm deviated the moment it entered Lower Realm Tang San's body. Then, the God PositionOrigin slowly merged into the dark red and gold Asura God Ring held in the Sea God Martial Soul's other hand. Meanwhile, another clearly gentler wave of Asura Divine Force, derived from that god ring, was manipulated by the Sea God Martial Soul phantom and slowly infused into Lower Realm Tang San's body. Lower Realm Tang San's body swelled as his cultivation began to climb once more. Under the interference of the Sea God Martial Soul, the Sea Gods Divine Trial also signaled to the distant God Realm Tang San that everything was normal.
God Realm Tang San, far away in the God Realm, was somewhat surprised to find that the Clone's capacity was better than he had anticipated, so he became even more generous with the transfer.
After a long time, upon reaching a suitable point, the Sea God Martial Soul phantom decisively cut the connection. Simultaneously, it simulated a feedback fluctuation indicating that Lower Realm Tang San's body had reached saturation and could no longer endure more, sending it back to the God Realm via the Divine Trial. Receiving the feedback, God Realm Tang San immediately stopped the transfer.
With a brief calculation, God Realm Tang San was quite pleased to determine that the God PositionOrigin currently carried by the Lower RealmClone had reached about 1.5 percent, exceeding his expectations.
"Not bad. Truly worthy of being my Clone. It seems I can transfer even more next time, and the plan can be moved forward."
God Realm Tang San nodded slightly, then returned his focus to suppressing the Asura God Position Origin.
Inside the stone room, the Sea God Martial Soul phantom finished its interference with the Divine Trial and, in passing, concluded the divine force infusion for Lower Realm Tang San. Its figure gradually faded, and the Sea God Martial Soul disappeared completely. Lower Realm Tang San lost consciousness again and slumped to the ground. However, at this moment, the aura on his body had changed from its previous withered state to something much more solid. His cultivation had abruptly stabilized at a new level, reaching Rank 60 once again.
Could this be... a blessing in disguise?
High above the Evil Demon Forest, above the clouds, three figures floated quietly. Below them was the sinister complex of buildings that served as the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters.
The Sea God Martial Soul revealed itself, and beside it, Kong Mingan slowly opened his eyes. The faint azure light in the depths of his pupils dissipated as he spoke calmly, "It's over."
Qiu'er, who was beside him, was somewhat confused and couldn't help but look at Kong Mingan. "It's... over just like that?"
It wasn't surprising that Qiu'er had this question. After all, they had simply used spatial teleportation to get here and then hovered in mid-air for a while before it was all over. She had thought there would be some conflict with the Evil Soul Masters below, perhaps a fight, but... nothing happened?
Dong'er was equally puzzled. She had only summoned the Sea God Martial Soul and then relaxed, letting Kong Mingan take control of it. She hadn't done anything else. she had even wanted to see how her so-called father was doing, but they had just come here to catch the breeze?
Kong Mingan didn't answer their questions. Was he supposed to say that because the plane will's resentment toward Tang San was so deep, his recent encounters were too abstract and full of mental pollution to be suitable for them to watch?
It was too abstract; one could only say that the plane will really knew how to play.
Ignoring Tang San's current situation, Kong Mingan began to assess the gains from this operation. Of course, there wasn't much, only one thing: the share of the Asura God Position Origin within the "Asura God Ring," which had originally been negligible, had jumped to about 1.5 percent.
This was a significant leap.
And such a leap would definitely not happen only once. What he needed to do was create an illusion.
Specifically, that Lower Realm Tang San's potential and capacity were exceptionally outstanding, and that the amount of Origin he could carry after each Divine Trial would be more than God Realm Tang San expected. This would make God Realm Tang San lower his guard and invest more of the God PositionOrigin in subsequent Divine Trials.
