Chapter 14: The Seventh Place on the Golden List Revealed! Tang San Collapses!
Tang San was so shocked that he flew backwards for hundreds of meters, his hands and feet went numb, and his long blue hair was in complete disarray.
His prized Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was completely ineffective against the overwhelming power.
To the Snow Emperor high above in the clouds, this scene was a wonderful spectacle.
Xue Di crossed her arms, looking relaxed.
"Is this the so-called son of Clear Sky Douluo?"
"He was beaten like a stray dog."
Shui Bing'er stood aside, watching the once arrogant Lan Hao Wang below struggling to stay afloat, and felt incredibly relieved.
How arrogant these people were at the gate of Tianshui City before.
This is how pathetic it is now.
Just as Qian Renxue was preparing to press her advantage and severely injure Tang San in one fell swoop.
The golden list in the sky has changed once again.
The glory of the eighth-place reward that originally belonged to Qian Renxue gradually faded, and then a line of even more dazzling characters slowly appeared.
[Seventh Place: Poseidon's Trident]
[Holder: Tang San]
As soon as these words were uttered, the previously noisy battlefield instantly fell silent.
A deathly silence.
Everyone looked up, staring blankly at the sky.
The students from Shrek Academy, in particular, stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape.
Dai Mubai rubbed his eyes and stammered:
"The...seventh?"
"How come the 'miracle weapon for mistress' is only ranked seventh?"
Oscar was also completely bewildered.
"This is the weapon of the Sea God! A divine artifact of a true god!"
"Could there be six things in this world that are even more powerful than the Sea God's artifact?"
In the center of the battlefield, Tang San was struck as if by lightning.
He stared intently at the line of text, his expression incredibly complex.
From astonishment to bewilderment, it finally turned into extreme shame and anger.
How could he only be seventh?
Qian Renxue's Angelic Holy Sword ranked eighth. He originally thought that his trident could at least be in the top three, or even the top spot!
So you only got one place higher?
This is a complete slap in the face for him!
That newly established sense of superiority was instantly shattered.
"impossible!"
Tang San suddenly looked up, pointed at the golden list in the sky, and roared:
"There's definitely something wrong with this list!"
"The Trident of Poseidon was bestowed by Poseidon himself. It weighs 108,000 jin and has the power to control the sea. How can it be measured by a mere seventh place?"
"This lousy list of yours must be some kind of trick by Vilette to mislead people!"
He was really anxious.
It's not just because of the low ranking, but also because of the sense of being publicly executed.
However.
The Heavenly List seemed to understand his question.
There was no explanation.
The response to Tang San was a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
"BOOM—!!!"
The once clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
A destructive force of lightning was rapidly gathering in the clouds.
That was the punishment for disrespecting the Way of Heaven.
Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation!
Qian Renxue, who was standing opposite Tang San, changed her expression drastically.
She could clearly feel the terrifying pressure contained within the thunder, a power that even she dared not easily touch.
"madman."
Qian Renxue cursed, then suddenly flapped her wings, transforming into a streak of light and instantly retreating a thousand meters away.
Tang San hadn't reacted yet.
A thick bolt of purplish-gold lightning crashed down upon them.
"Crackling and popping!"
There was no suspense whatsoever.
Tang San didn't even have time to scream before he was completely engulfed by the lightning.
His magnificent blue robes instantly turned to ashes, his hair stood on end, still emitting black smoke.
His whole body convulsed as if he were being roasted alive amidst the lightning.
This scene left the soldiers on both sides fighting below completely dumbfounded.
Is this what happens when you question the Heavenly Ranking?
That's just too tragic.
Above the clouds, the Snow Emperor couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Serves you right."
"How dare they challenge the will of Heaven? Who gave them the courage?"
The lightning punishment lasted for a full ten breaths.
The lightning only dissipated reluctantly after Tang San had been blasted to a crisp and was foaming at the mouth.
But then...
The glory of the list of successful candidates has faded once again.
That was the reward for seventh place.
Even if someone gets struck by lightning, the reward they deserve must still be given.
[Reward: Holder's Soul Power increases by one level.]
[Artifact Enhancement: All attributes of the Trident of Poseidon are increased by 30%, and the power of the attached skill 'Light of Poseidon' is doubled.]
[Special Reward: The external soul bone, Eight Spider Lances, has evolved to a 100,000-year quality.]
As the reward beam was injected, Tang San, who had been ashen-looking as a lump of charcoal, suddenly burst forth with an astonishing vitality.
His injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
More importantly, the bottleneck in his soul power shattered at that moment.
Peak level 99... Breakthrough!
Level 100!
Tang San suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of divine light shot out.
Ignoring his disheveled appearance, he felt the vast, ocean-like power within him and was overjoyed.
Level 100!
He actually became a god?
No, that's not right.
He has not yet inherited the divine position, but his soul power has reached level one hundred.
But this meant a lot to him.
According to the requirements of the Nine Trials of Poseidon, the final step required Poseidon to sacrifice his life to open the path to godhood for him.
Although Tang San was willing to do anything for strength, he still felt somewhat guilty.
But now, the system has saved him this step!
He could become a god without Poseidon's sacrifice!
Moreover, the eight spider spears on its back were also undergoing a transformation, turning a blood-red color and emitting a nauseating stench of blood and poison.
A soul bone with a ten-thousand-year history!
Tang San straightened up and gripped the enhanced Poseidon Trident tightly in his hand.
That sense of power to control everything is back.
The previous humiliation seemed less important in the face of tangible benefits.
He glanced at Qian Renxue in the distance, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, but more so, disdain.
There's no point in dwelling on it now.
The most urgent task is to return to Poseidon Island as soon as possible, complete the final inheritance ceremony, and truly ascend to the throne of Poseidon.
At that time, who in the world will be his match?
And Xiao Wu.
Once I become a god, I'll go to Tianshui City, and that Navelette will surely die!
"withdraw!"
Tang San made a decisive decision without any hesitation.
He didn't even glance at the battle situation at Jialing Pass, and directly led the Shrek team to retreat to the rear.
On the city wall.
Bibi Dong held a scepter.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the Trident of the Sea God in Tang San's hand, a greedy flame burning deep within them.
The seventh place winner receives this reward.
If we could seize that trident...
She was thinking.
What are the chances of success if we try to seize it now?
But seeing Tang San's surging aura, Bibi Dong ultimately suppressed her impulse.
That kid's strength is becoming increasingly difficult to gauge.
Moreover, the situation in Tianshui City is still unclear. If we were to fight Tang San to the death now, it would only give the mysterious Navelette an advantage.
