Before, there was no deep-seated hatred, so Xu Ran was able to chase after them time and again successfully.
Now that Xu Ran has killed his great-grandfather, does he still think he can pursue Poseissi? Impossible.
Sometimes, he truly admires Xu Ran's audacity—having killed his great-grandfather and still wishing to be with Poseissi. Is Xu Ran that confident?
Well, it's time for him to shatter Xu Ran's confidence. He will show Xu Ran what cruelty really is!
From now on, the scales of victory will start to tip in his favor. The era that belonged to Xu Ran is over.
Poseissi loved her great-grandfather, and with Xu Ran having killed him, it was destined that Xu Ran would never win her over. Instead, it might be him. Perhaps Poseissi's feelings would transfer by association, growing fond of him as she remembered her grandfather... and then...
Thinking this, Tang San swallowed hard.
Poseissi is indeed very beautiful.
And she trusts him greatly, respects him. If such a woman were to be with him, he would love her dearly, give her everything to make her happy, even help her become the future Sea God.
"Tang San, what's the name of the person who killed Tang Chen?" Poseissi suddenly asked. Her gaze was icy cold; she was filled with hatred. Even though she couldn't leave Sea God's Island, she could remember the name, and if the chance arose, she would take revenge for Tang Chen.
However, she felt it might be difficult. Tang San had become a god and yet was powerless against that person, which suggested that this person might also be a god, with strength not inferior to Tang San's.
Otherwise, Tang San wouldn't have failed to avenge Tang Chen.
"His name is Xu Ran, a despicable and shameless scoundrel."
Uttering the name Xu Ran, Tang San's emotions underwent a huge change once more.
These two characters could easily stir Tang San's emotions, making him seethe with hatred.
"Xu Ran?" Poseissi muttered Xu Ran's name, her face as cold as frost.
"And now, Xu Ran should have already arrived in the Deep Sea."
"You must have sensed it earlier. Xu Ran and I fought a battle, and one of the auras was mine, while the other was Xu Ran's," Tang San said, with a hint of evil and slyness flashing in his eyes.
"What? What is Xu Ran doing in the Deep Sea?" Poseissi was shocked. She realized that the terrifying aura she had sensed before was actually emitted by Xu Ran and Tang San. Since Tang San had become a god and encountered his family's killer, Xu Ran, it was natural for him to fight. But, did Tang San really not kill Xu Ran?
Just how powerful is Xu Ran?
Poseissi felt powerless; she longed to avenge Tang Chen. But with Xu Ran in the Deep Sea, she was utterly helpless. If even Tang San couldn't kill Xu Ran, she would be no match for him either.
At that moment, she felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Although she was the Grand Priest of Sea God Island, anything to do with gods was far beyond her reach.
"I don't know. Maybe he's here for the Sea God's inheritance."
"Or maybe for you."
Tang San said indifferently. This time, he had the advantage of striking first, intending to paint Xu Ran as a vile, shameless, lustful wretch—Ugh, what smear? Xu Ran was exactly that kind of person!
"For me?" Poseissi was a bit stunned. In her eyes, Xu Ran had already become a despicable, shameless demon. Why would such a person seek her out?
Could it really be to make a move on the Sea God's inheritance?
"Xu Ran is a shameless lecher. He is exceedingly greedy for beauty. After killing my great-grandfather, he heard about your relationship with him and learned of your beauty, which prompted his vile thoughts," Tang San spoke earnestly.
Tang San felt this wasn't slander; he was simply stating a fact.
Xu Ran, that bastard.
As long as a girl was pretty, he would not let her go.
Xu Ran was simply a beast.
"Xu Ran, he dares!" Poseissi said, her chest heaving with anger. She felt no fondness for Xu Ran, just a deep hatred and revulsion. Having killed Tang Chen, he even dared to lay a hand on her? She would absolutely never agree to it.
If Xu Ran wanted to do anything to her, she would rather die than consent.
She could never like someone like Xu Ran in this lifetime.
Seeing Poseissi's cold and disgusted expression, Tang San smiled. He knew that Poseissi now loathed and despised Xu Ran just as Xiaowu had once felt towards him.
Under these circumstances, Xu Ran still wants to pursue Poseissi?
Even with his overwhelming abilities, it would be impossible for him this time.
Could Xu Ran really argue that the dead were alive? After killing his great ancestor, Xu Ran still dreams of wooing Poseissi? Dream on.
On the contrary, he had now won Poseissi's favor.
For the first time, he had triumphed over Xu Ran emotionally! The feeling was really great!
Especially seeing how gentle and kind Poseissi was towards him, treating him as her junior, it felt really comfortable. Now, Xu Ran was a despicable being in Poseissi's eyes.
He finally understood how comfortable Xu Ran used to feel. This feeling was truly exhilarating!
"Don't worry. I came to Sea God's Island to stop Xu Ran. I won't let him do anything to you. With me here, Xu Ran won't dare to commit any evil," Tang San said righteously. This time, he felt the same satisfaction that Xu Ran did when pretending to be righteous.
Everyone looks up to you with admiration and love, how could that not be exhilarating?
"Alright," Poseissi nodded, her gaze sweeping towards the distance, seemingly lost in thought.
...
At this moment,
Xu Ran was living a godly life among the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan.
Utilizing the Myriad Beasts Armor, Xu Ran absorbed the fresh blood of various powerful ferocious beasts from the Deep Sea. Xu Ran vaguely felt that his Myriad Beasts Armor was close to becoming a Divine Artifact. If he could absorb the blood essence of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale, then his Myriad Beasts Armor would truly possess the blood essence of nearly all soul beasts on land and at sea.
All beast souls mobilized, myriad beasts roamed, their might infinite.
If the Myriad Beasts Armor were to upgrade to a Divine Artifact, his combat power would rise significantly.
Actually, he had many methods to rapidly enhance his strength now, like using Points to increase the age limit of his soul beast "Cultivation Level." In this way, Xu Ran's ferocious beast "Cultivation Level" could break through to around seven or eight hundred thousand years as well.
However, unless he directly broke through to become a million-year soul beast, such an increase would not be very meaningful. Xu Ran was saving his Points for an emergency. If he saved enough, he could instantly become a million-year soul beast when necessary.
Currently, he had less than sixty thousand Points, still over twenty thousand Points short. If he were to kill the Sea God and collect a bit more from other sources, that might be just about enough.
At this time, Xu Ran was unaware of the occurrences on Sea God's Island.
But Xu Ran was not worried. He understood Tang San's character well, and he knew what Tang San was planning to do. Furthermore, with the System's lady providing him with insider information, he was well aware of Tang San's actions and thoughts.
However, in the end, Tang San would pay the price for his foolishness.
Once he showed Poseissi the video of him killing Tang Chen with a punch, everything would change. The key point was that Tang Chen was truly killed by Tang San's own hands. It wasn't a false accusation against Tang San.
