Chapter 215: Tang San, I Must Act Righteously
"You think about it first. If I make a round and there's still space left, I'll invite you again."
Qin Xiao said, ready to leave without any hesitation.
"Wait."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes flickered with changing emotions and then called out to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao turned back and looked at him quietly.
He knew he couldn't say too much now. Otherwise, he might seem too eager and make the Deep Sea Demon Whale King suspicious.
If that happened, all the groundwork he'd laid would be for nothing.
"You said I'd have to acknowledge you as my master for a year, but during that year, you won't force me to do anything, only to prevent me from harming people, right?"
Qin Xiao nodded and replied nonchalantly, "That's right. If you can't even accept this, then forget it."
"Don't be so hasty."
"I agree to your terms. Come on, let's sign the contract now."
As the Deep Sea Demon Whale King finished speaking, a blue light emanated from its body.
Qin Xiao felt a powerful soul force within it.
"This is a part of my soul. If I don't follow your orders, you can destroy this soul fragment. My body will suffer damage, though it won't be fatal."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, being a million-year soul beast, was very wise.
It couldn't trust anyone easily, so offering a part of its soul was already a significant gesture.
"Alright." Qin Xiao said as he took the soul fragment offered by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Wait for my message. I'll notify you once everything is ready."
"Do you still need to prepare?"
"Of course. Given your immense power, the greater the resistance from the demon plane, the more preparation I need." Qin Xiao lied smoothly.
In reality, he had used up all the golden leaves given by the plane's will and needed to get more.
So he did need time to prepare.
"What if it doesn't take long?" the Deep Sea Demon Whale King asked, clearly eager.
"Don't pry into these matters. When I'm ready, I'll come for you. That's it for now."
Qin Xiao said, waving his hand with a dismissive gesture.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King shook its massive head, "Make sure you come soon."
"I'll come when it's time."
Qin Xiao said, then disappeared in an instant, vanishing from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's sight.
After a long time, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King finally looked away.
It suddenly felt puzzled, "Hey, why is that guy heading towards Sea God Island?"
...
Half a day later.
Only when he was outside Sea God Island did Qin Xiao refine the soul fragment offered by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
He felt a new connection with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Then, the voice of the Sea God echoed in his mind.
The eighth trial is complete...
"Next is the ninth trial: inheriting the divine position..."
When Qin Xiao saw the contents of the ninth trial, he frowned, "Do I really need a complete set of soul bones? Do I need those things?"
"Strengthening oneself is paramount. Instead of wasting divine power to change the age and essence of soul bones, it's better to inherit all this divine power."
He tried to communicate with the Sea God.
Indeed, Qin Xiao had a point.
No matter how good the soul bones or divine equipment were, could they compare to the Thunder Emperor Armor?
Since he possessed it, he would wear it sooner or later.
Before long, Qin Xiao received a response.
"Very well."
"Task revised: no need for a full set of soul bones. Just complete the final trial to inherit the Sea God's position."
Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Qin Xiao's face.
This proved that with sufficient talent, one could change the rules.
"Sea God Island, here I come."
"I wonder what changes my martial soul will undergo when I inherit the divine position."
With this thought, Qin Xiao vanished.
He believed that the final moment would bring unexpected surprises.
...
In the clear sky above, a streak of purple light suddenly appeared.
Sea God Island.
In front of the Sea God Temple, Bo Saixi slightly raised her head, a faint smile playing on her lips as she murmured softly to herself, "He's back."
As soon as she spoke, the distant lightning appeared before her eyes.
Qin Xiao appeared in the square in front of the Sea God Temple.
"You're back."
"Yes." Qin Xiao nodded slightly.
Bo Saixi suddenly frowned, "What happened?"
She keenly sensed that something was amiss with Qin Xiao.
"Some things happened on the Douluo Continent..."
Qin Xiao then described the events on the Douluo Continent to Bo Saixi.
"Who would have thought that the Asura God position would be inherited by Tang Chen's grandson, Tang San."
Bo Saixi's expression was somewhat complicated.
"Indeed."
"Such is the unpredictability of life."
To be honest, Qin Xiao was also surprised that Tang San managed to become the Asura God.
"So, you're back to complete the final trial?"
Bo Saixi asked again.
Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment before answering, "I need power."
Bo Saixi silently stepped aside.
Qin Xiao gave her a deep look before striding inside.
Until Qin Xiao's figure disappeared from sight, Bo Saixi slowly closed her eyes, silently praying that he would safely pass the final trial.
Time passed by second by second.
Bo Saixi didn't know how long it had been when the doors of the temple opened again.
Qin Xiao's figure reappeared before her, wearing a smile.
"Did you succeed?" Bo Saixi's eyes lit up as she asked tentatively.
"I succeeded." Qin Xiao nodded, a smile spreading across his lips.
Seeing this, Bo Saixi finally felt a sense of relief.
"So, can we proceed with the final ceremony now?"
"Bring Tang Hao."
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Bo Saixi nodded slightly.
The golden staff in her hand suddenly emitted a golden light.
Moments later, Sea Horse Douluo arrived with Tang Hao from a distance.
"Qin Xiao, Bo Saixi, you despicable couple finally decided to see me?"
Tang Hao's face twisted in a snarl.
So many recent events had driven him to the brink of madness.
No.
It would have been better if he had gone mad.
Tang Hao felt that if he had, he wouldn't have to endure so much torment.
"Don't worry, you won't have to see me much longer."
Qin Xiao smiled slightly.
"What did you say?" Tang Hao's pupils constricted, and a chill ran through his heart. He had already considered a certain possibility.
He just didn't want to accept it.
"I said I'll give you relief. Does that make you happy?" Qin Xiao grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
But in Tang Hao's eyes, it looked terrifying and sinister.
"You've completed the Sea God's trial, haven't you? And now you're going to make me a sacrifice, right?" Tang Hao fired off questions one after another.
Qin Xiao didn't answer Tang Hao. Instead, he looked at Bo Saixi, "Begin your inheritance ceremony."
Bo Saixi nodded, "Alright."
"No, get away from me. I won't let you have your way, no matter what Qin Xiao says."
Tang Hao struggled wildly.
But Sea Horse Douluo's grip on his shoulders was like a vice, immobilizing him completely.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but touch his nose.
This scene, at this moment, looked very much like a bully coercing someone.
However.
No matter how much Tang Hao resisted, it couldn't stop Bo Saixi from placing her staff on his head.
Then, streaks of golden light, visible to the naked eye, flowed from Bo Saixi through the staff into Tang Hao.
Tang Hao's aura grew stronger at an alarming rate.
Level 97, Level 98, Level 99...
In just a few breaths, Tang Hao experienced a height he had never reached before.
"So this is the feeling of the pinnacle of a Level 99 Titled Douluo!"
Tang Hao's power continued to grow.
With a bang, the powerful force within him sent Sea Horse Douluo flying.
Although Qin Xiao had crippled him, a massive Clear Sky Hammer still appeared in Tang Hao's hand.
Nine spirit rings appeared beneath his feet, eight black and one red.
"Hahaha, I, Tang Hao, am back!"
"Qin Xiao, Bo Saixi, you thought you were so clever, but you didn't expect me to become this strong, did you?"
At this moment, Tang Hao felt invincible, as if there was nothing he couldn't destroy.
However.
He hadn't even enjoyed his triumph for three seconds.
Qin Xiao's words made Tang Hao's face change instantly.
"But I was waiting for you to reach this state; otherwise, how could you be qualified for the sacrifice!"
Qin Xiao sneered coldly.
"No, this can't be."
"My fate is mine, not heaven's..."
Tang Hao roared in fury.
However.
In the next moment, he suddenly found his body out of his control.
Then the divine power and soul power within him began to boil like hot water.
He couldn't control it anymore; divine power and soul power surged out simultaneously, making him look like a human torch, with golden light emanating from his body and shooting straight into the sky.
Clang.
Bo Saixi's golden staff fell to the ground, and a wave of weakness surged through her heart.
Qin Xiao, quick on his feet, placed his hands on her shoulders.
"How do you feel?"
"Very light."
Seeing Qin Xiao's concerned question, Bo Saixi smiled, "I can't remember the last time I felt this light. From today, I will live for myself, do whatever I want without restraint. Sea God Island can no longer bind me."
"Then congratulations." Qin Xiao could hear the lightness in Bo Saixi's voice.
Regaining freedom was indeed something to be happy about.
Bo Saixi continued, "Without the title of Great Worshiper, from today, I'm just a Level 95 Titled Douluo."
Qin Xiao smiled, "Level 95 is already enough."
...
Meanwhile.
Not far from Sea God Island.
Tang San's figure appeared out of thin air.
"Sea God Island, the place of Sea God's inheritance..."
He hesitated for a moment, then decided not to approach.
He sensed a dangerous aura.
"Is it a measure left by the Sea God, or has Qin Xiao already inherited the divine position inside Sea God Island?"
Tang San couldn't be sure.
For now, he'd observe... Weighing his options, he decided to follow his instincts.
But in the next moment, a golden pillar of light shot up from Sea God Island, reaching the sky.
"Wait, this aura feels familiar!"
"It seems like... Tang Hao."
Tang San thought, realizing he couldn't wait any longer.
With a thought, he transformed into a stream of light and reached the sky above Sea God Island within two breaths.
Looking down, he saw the source of the golden pillar.
It was...
His pupils contracted sharply, and he couldn't help but shout, "Tang Hao, what are you doing?!"
His voice, imbued with divine power, resonated across Sea God Island, clearly audible within a ten-mile radius.
Actually, with Tang San's current eyesight, he could see Tang Hao's actions clearly.
But he couldn't understand why Tang Hao would do this, why he would sacrifice himself for his enemy Qin Xiao.
Was Tang Hao insane?
Had he gone mad? Tang San's mind screamed.
Tang Hao, what are you doing?
His words echoed over Sea God Island.
Countless eyes focused on Tang San.
"It's Xiaosan!"
Tang Hao's eyes could still move, and he saw Tang San hovering in the air.
At that moment, a thousand words filled his heart.
He desperately wanted to tell Tang San, this isn't my will, they forced me.
Xiaosan, my good son, come stop them, save me.
But to his despair, he couldn't utter a sound.
He could only watch as Tang San's expression changed from confusion to shock, and finally to anger.
"Tang Hao, you are unworthy as a father."
Tang San felt a chill in his heart as memories of Tang Hao's treatment of him flooded his mind.
How he had crippled his martial soul, how he had turned him into a waste. These memories were vivid. And now he was aiding his enemy, how could he endure this?
In an instant, a murderous intent surged in his heart.
"If that's the case, then don't blame me for disregarding our past father-son relationship."
"No matter what, I cannot let you sacrifice yourself to Qin Xiao and make him a god!"
Tang San knew exactly what he needed to do.
In the next moment, ten spirit rings appeared around him.
"Xiaosan, he's become a god?" Tang Hao was overjoyed.
Does that mean I won't have to die?
After all, couldn't a god save him?
However, in his madness, Tang San didn't consider saving Tang Hao but killing him.
"Thunder Strike!"
Tang San's fourth spirit ring burst into dazzling light, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand fell like a meteor.
Tang Hao was stunned, "Xiaosan, does he really want to kill me?"
I'm his father!
This kid wants to kill his father?
Tang Hao was dumbfounded. Tang San had always been obedient and respectful in front of him, and he never imagined that Tang San would turn on him like this.
Simultaneously, a deep sense of defeat arose in Tang Hao's heart.
"Hmph, how dare a thief disturb the divine inheritance!"
Suddenly, the Sea God Temple glowed brightly, and golden ripples like waves appeared in the sky above Sea God Island, forming a golden shield protecting the island.
Boom!
Although Tang San had become a god with tremendous power, his Clear Sky Hammer failed to break through the shield's defense.
"It's blocked!"
Tang Hao felt conflicted, unsure whether to be happy or sad.
Qin Xiao sneered, "Tang San, you have terrible timing. The Sea God from the divine realm is watching here. Trying to kill me, Tang Hao, or disrupt the divine trial with your current power is impossible."
