Chapter 337 The Power of Resentment, Inspiring Divine Trial.
Above the sky, golden light surged and roared like boiling molten lava.
The deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth had not yet subsided!
The lingering influence of Sikong Zhen, the fourth-ranked "Title Douluo at the age of 20," still resonates across every inch of the Douluo Continent.
Just then!
The light curtain at the center of the sky has undergone another dramatic change.
The dazzling golden patterns surged like a galaxy, instantly outlining the brand-new ranking information.
Those lines of large characters, with an overwhelming aura, were imprinted on the entire continent's field of vision.
[Cultivation Speed Ranking: Third Place]
Name: Li Bai
[Affiliation: Beidou College]
[Martial Soul: Azure Lotus Divine Sword, Wine Immortal Gourd]
[Breaking through the age barrier for Title Douluo: 18 years old!]
[Ranking Rewards: Perfect understanding of the Sword Dao Laws, 20% increase in the power of the Azure Lotus Sword Martial Soul, 4,000-year increase in the age of all Soul Rings, and unlocking of the Divine Sword Intent: Immortal]
"18 years old..."
These three words were like a thunderclap from the heavens.
It struck the hearts of all Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent with a resounding blow.
After a brief silence, an uproar, more violent than ever before, swept across the land like a tsunami.
Even the sound of the wind in the sky was drowned out by the overwhelming screams.
"18 years old? Am I seeing things?"
"Awakened his martial soul at six years old, broke through to the Title Douluo level in twelve years? This isn't just a genius, this is the continent's favored son!"
"Sikong Zhen being 20 years old is already outrageous enough, but Li Bai is only 18! Don't the people at Beidou Academy have to cultivate according to normal standards?"
"..."
Heavenly Dou Empire.
Countless Soul Masters slumped to the ground, their eyes vacant.
He kept muttering the number "18 years old".
An elder Soul Emperor, over fifty years old, clutched his Soul Ring tightly, tears streaming down his face.
"I was still playing in the mud when I was six, and I only just reached the Soul Master level at 18, while others were already Title Douluo at 18..."
"The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and soul beasts!"
...
Star Luo Empire.
Inside the Royal Martial Soul Awakening Hall, all the children who were undergoing Martial Soul Awakening were startled by the news from Tianmu and stopped what they were doing.
Emperor Xingluo stood on a high place, gazing at the sky.
His fingers gripped the railing so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"Twelve years, from awakening to becoming a Title Douluo... Even a god-level inheritor might not be able to achieve this level of cultivation speed!"
What secrets does Beidou Academy possess?
...
Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan.
The main hall of the sect was deathly silent.
Yu Yuanzhen sat in the main seat without saying a word.
The elders looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief and dejection.
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is a top-tier beast spirit, with unparalleled talent across the continent."
An elder spoke with difficulty.
"Even the most talented ancestor in the sect's history was only at the peak of Soul King at the age of 18, which is still a world away from becoming a Title Douluo."
"Li Bai was crowned a Title Douluo at the age of 18. This is not just a crushing victory in terms of talent, but a dimensional reduction attack!"
Yu Yuanzhen slowly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"That's it. From now on, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan must never be an enemy of the Big Dipper Academy."
...
Starry Sky Forest, outer area.
A secluded, dark valley.
The towering ancient trees block out the sun, making it almost impossible for sunlight to penetrate.
The air was filled with the rich scent of grass and trees, but it was also mixed with a lingering sadness and resentment.
In the center of the valley, a pink figure slowly opened her eyes.
It was Xiao Wu, who had just woken up from her coma.
Her eyes were empty and lost.
A moment later, fragmented memories flooded into my mind like a tidal wave.
Da Ming and Er Ming were killed by the Spirit Hall while trying to protect her.
This is what my mother looked like years ago, lying in a pool of blood after being chased by the Spirit Hall.
The ferocious faces of the Spirit Hall experts, Bibi Dong's indifference...
"Daming…Erming…Mother…"
Xiao Wu murmured to herself, her voice hoarse and broken.
The next moment, endless anger and hatred erupted in her heart like a volcano.
She clenched her fist tightly, her nails digging deep into her palm.
Blood dripped from between her fingers, but she was completely unaware.
Those once clear and bright eyes were now completely stained red with blood.
An intensely dense aura of resentment emanated from his body.
Even the surrounding vegetation began to wither and turn yellow due to this force.
"Spirit Hall... I will kill you all! I will avenge Da Ming, Er Ming, and my mother!"
Xiao Wu's screams, filled with heart-wrenching pain, echoed through the valley.
Tang San's eyes were already red with tears as he held Xiao Wu's hand tightly.
My heart was filled with endless guilt and self-blame.
He failed to protect Xiao Wu, Da Ming and Er Ming, and he failed to stop the Spirit Hall's atrocities.
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry."
Tang San's voice choked with emotion.
"It's because I'm too weak. I'm not capable of protecting you and our loved ones."
He raised his head, a determined glint in his eyes, and spoke with utmost solemnity.
"Don't worry, once I break through and become strong enough, I will definitely crush the Spirit Hall."
"For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the Second Ming Dynasty, and for the sake of your mother, utterly destroy the Spirit Hall!"
"I mean what I say!"
However, at this moment, Xiao Wu was already blinded by hatred.
She didn't listen to a word Tang San said.
In her mind, there were only the words "revenge" and the images of the Spirit Hall members.
The power of resentment grew increasingly intense, like black mist churning wildly around her.
This force is mixed with hatred for the Spirit Hall and resentment towards one's own weakness.
The pain of losing loved ones even triggered some mysterious law of the universe.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Suddenly, dark lines began to appear on the ground beneath Xiao Wu's feet.
These patterns intertwined and quickly formed a huge six-pointed star array.
The formation emanated a powerful force of evil and resentment, causing even space itself to begin to distort slightly.
"not good!"
Tang San's expression changed drastically, and he was about to retreat with Xiao Wu!
The formation suddenly erupted with a black beam of light, enveloping him and Xiao Wu.
The scene before them changed instantly, and the originally dark valley disappeared.
Instead, there was an endless, dark space.
There is no sky, no earth, no sun, moon, or stars here.
There was only endless darkness and a suffocating, resentful power permeating the air.
Tang San immediately shielded Xiao Wu behind him, cautiously surveying their surroundings.
He could sense that this space was extremely eerie.
The power of resentment within can easily erode a person's mind.
Who is it?
Tang San asked in a deep voice.
Why did you bring us here?
As soon as the words were spoken, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
It was a man dressed in a long black robe, his face obscured by a hood, making it impossible to see his features.
He exuded a terrifying aura!
That was the aura of a deity, and a genuine first-level deity at that!
The man's voice was hoarse and cold, as if it came from the deepest hell, filled with endless resentment and anger.
"I am the God of Resentment, who holds the power of all resentment, anger, and hatred in the world."
He slowly raised his head, and beneath his hood, a pair of scarlet eyes stared intently at Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"This space is my divine testing space."
The voice of the god of resentment echoed in the darkness.
"I had already perished, and this space had been sealed for many years, but it was completely activated by the power of resentment within you, Xiao Wu."
His gaze fell on Xiao Wu, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his scarlet eyes.
"The resentment in your heart is pure and intense, enough to bear the inheritance of my divine position."
