Chapter 296: "The Pope Has Become His Mother-in-Law."

Chapter 296: "The Pope Has Become His Mother-in-Law."

"I will have my revenge…"

In the Sunset Forest, Tang San opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

Whether it was the grudge over his spirit rings or the tribulation of lightning, he had scores to settle.

If Kong had become a deity earlier, Tang San wouldn't have had to absorb two ten-year spirit rings.

What Tang San couldn't accept the most was that he had endured the lightning tribulation, but aside from being left battered and bruised, he hadn't gained any benefits from it!

No benefits at all! So why did the lightning have to strike him?!

Why?!

For several months, he had been recuperating in the Sunset Forest.

Fortunately, the Mysterious Heaven Technique was incredibly profound and had helped him recover from his injuries.

Tang San glanced around, his gaze falling on the remains of a few animals nearby. The corners of his mouth slowly curled upward.

"I never expected the Mysterious Heaven Technique to have such an effect."

"Absorbing the bloodline of spirit beasts and making it my own…"

(Note: This is a reference to the setting in Douluo Dalu 5.)

The Douluo Continent was never short of spirit beasts.

When Tang San discovered that the Mysterious Heaven Technique could absorb the bloodline and spirit power of spirit beasts for his own use, he saw a glimmer of hope for revenge!

"If I devour the bloodlines and spirit power of a large number of spirit beasts, my own spirit power will definitely skyrocket!"

"Wait, does this make me a fallen one?"

Suddenly, Tang San frowned, a thought crossing his mind.

After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head and muttered, "No, how could I, Tang San, be a fallen one?"

"I am a righteous man, and the Mysterious Heaven Technique is a Daoist technique."

"The power I wield is not used for evil. I'm only killing spirit beasts to cultivate. That doesn't make me a fallen one."

"Yes, I only kill spirit beasts to cultivate. I've never harmed people…"

"Harming people…"

Tang San murmured, his eyes lighting up. If he could absorb the bloodline of others, would he be able to acquire their martial souls?

"If that's really possible, what if I devoured Kong…"

At this thought, Tang San's eyes widened like copper bells.

"Ke ke ke…"

In the shadows, Ghost Douluo's mouth twitched. For some reason, Tang San seemed more like a ghost than he did.

"This kid has taken the path of a fallen one…"

"Should I report this to Her Majesty and have him eliminated?"

Ghost Douluo pondered.

Previously, Tang San had posed no threat. Even if he absorbed ten-year spirit rings and grew to become a Title Douluo, he would still be insignificant.

But now, the rules of the Douluo Continent had changed. All one needed to do to absorb spirit rings was endure a tribulation.

Tang San becoming a fallen one meant his growth speed would increase dramatically, which made Ghost Douluo uneasy.

After some thought, Ghost Douluo decided to return to the Spirit Hall and seek Bibi Dong's opinion.

With that, Ghost Douluo turned and headed toward the Spirit Hall without a second glance.

As for Tang San, Ghost Douluo wasn't worried about him running away.

He had planted a mark on Tang San, ensuring that no matter where Tang San went, Ghost Douluo could track him!

Unaware that Ghost Douluo had been keeping tabs on him, Tang San began making his way deeper into the Sunset Forest.

He was searching for powerful spirit beasts to kill and use to enhance his strength.

During his recovery period, his spirit power had broken through to level 61, and he had discovered the hidden potential of the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

"That nameless Title Douluo, and Kong… Just wait. One day, I, Tang San, will reclaim everything I've lost!"

Before long, Tang San spotted a 15,000-year spirit beast. Without hesitation, he charged at it with his Clear Sky Hammer in hand.

To hell with Blue Silver Grass entanglement…

There was no way Tang San would continue using Blue Silver Grass!

Speaking of which, was his father, Tang Hao, out of his mind?

He had told Tang San to use the hammer in his left hand to protect the grass in his right, yet he had insisted Tang San cultivate Blue Silver Grass first!

Every time he got beaten up, it was always the Blue Silver Grass that suffered!

"From now on, I'll use the hammer in my left hand to protect you. As long as I don't use you, that should count as protection, right?"

Tang San muttered with a hint of frustration.

The ten-thousand-year spirit beast looked at the approaching figure, somewhat puzzled. Had this person placed their spirit rings in the wrong positions?

In the Spirit Hall's Pope's Palace, inside a secret chamber.

"Bibi Dong, you deserve a miserable death! You've destroyed everything I worked for…"

Yu Xiaogang had been cursing for who knows how long, but Bibi Dong watched indifferently, completely unbothered.

"By the way, that disciple of yours, Tang San, I was the one who sent people to help him obtain his sixth spirit ring."

"Two ten-year spirit rings, and even a Title Douluo to protect him during the process. Shouldn't you be thanking me, the Pope?"

Bibi Dong spoke with a calm and indifferent tone, her expression unchanging.

"You…"

Yu Xiaogang stared at Bibi Dong in disbelief. This vile woman had ruined Tang San!

Wait a minute…

"Hmph…"

As if realizing something, Yu Xiaogang's lips curled into a faint smile. "Bibi Dong, now that Kong has become a deity and changed the rules for obtaining spirit rings, Tang San will never have to go through that again."

"If you know what's good for you, you'll release me immediately. Kong is the young master of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Out of respect for my father, Yu Yuanzhen, he will definitely come to rescue me!"

"When that happens, the Spirit Hall will be turned upside down!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly spoke with a smug tone, remembering that the one who had become a deity was the young master of his clan.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong didn't even bat an eyelid. "Yu Xiaogang, perhaps you don't know this yet?"

"???"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned. What didn't he know?

"I have a daughter."

Bibi Dong spoke softly, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes as she recalled Qian Renxue's younger days.

Yu Xiaogang fell silent. So, it was Bibi Dong who had betrayed him first!

"Her name is Qian Renxue. She's beautiful, even more so than I was in my youth."

"But she was taken away by your young master."

"Now, I've been forced to become his mother-in-law."

Yu Xiaogang: "…"

Yu Xiaogang was utterly dumbfounded. He never expected such a relationship between Bibi Dong and Kong.

Young master, you've already become a deity! Why are you still meddling with mortal women?

Yu Xiaogang felt like crying but had no tears left. He had once hated Kong deeply for killing Tang Hao, leaving Tang San and himself without protection.

But now that Kong had become a deity, he couldn't even bring himself to hate him anymore!

"Oh, and about the lightning tribulation? Don't worry, I've already prepared a countermeasure. You and your disciple might even get to meet again!"

Bibi Dong smiled slightly, but to Yu Xiaogang, that smile was more terrifying than a devil's.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Kong is a deity. The rules he set cannot be broken by you!"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head vigorously, refusing to believe Bibi Dong's words.

This had to be a trick!

Kong was a legendary deity, after all!

"I forgot to mention this earlier, but that kid might have shown some leniency out of respect for the Angel God, Qian Daoliu, or perhaps even Xue'er, allowing the Pope's Palace and the Worship Hall to…"
